The latest commander of the Baku area is Zhukov, and the deputy commander is Chuikov. These two are famous Soviet generals in later history. Their operational and strategic command capabilities are among the best in the Soviet Union. Zhukov was imprisoned by Stalin for suggesting that Stalin withdraw his troops from Kiev.

The position of chief of general staff has been eliminated and is now delegated to Baku, which is just enough for Zhukov to flex his muscles.

Of course, Zhang Jun and Rommel would not wait for the arrival of the fighter plane. Shortly after Vincent set out, Zhang Jun issued an order for the entire army to march into Baku. Baku became the life and death place for the SS. The SS

If it fails, there will be no chance to make a comeback. Germany's Army Group South is also finished. If the SS has a tragic victory, the situation is not very optimistic. The SS, which captured Baku but suffered a tragic victory, will be unable to attack Stalingrad without the strength.

, we can only make a difference after waiting for about a year to recover.

So Zhang Jun bet all the elite SS troops against Baku of the Soviet Union, and also sent out soldiers for the entire Barbarossa plan. As Zhang Jun said, if you win, you will be rich and famous, if you lose, you will be killed.

Towards the sky.

Zhukov and Chuikov also stayed at the headquarters every day, always paying attention to the movements of the German SS. Because it was a local battle, Zhukov's intelligence sources were much richer than Zhang Jun. From the moment the German SS moved from the entire army to Baku

, Zhukov knew the intentions of the SS.

"It seems that the German SS is bound to conquer Baku! Comrade Chuikov, how is our mobilization order being implemented?"

"Don't worry, Comrade Zhukov, all men aged 17 to 50 in Georgia and Azerbaijan, except for the arsenal, regardless of their occupation, will all join the army. Our total military strength has now reached 2.8 million.

We have replenished 600,000 troops. We have urgently transported a lot of light weapons from the other side of the Caspian Sea, which is basically enough. However, we have a big gap in heavy weapons."

There are only more than 3 million men aged 17-50 in Georgia and Azerbaijan. It can be seen that the populations of the two countries are not very large. Georgia only has more than 4 million people. The population of Azerbaijan is about 9 million. The total population of these two countries is about

13 million people. In fact, the number of troops that these two countries can participate in the war will not be less than 5 million, but Zhukov really does not have any weapons for them. Now the Caspian Sea is full of Soviet transport ships. They come from the opposite side of Baku.

Several ports carried various weapons and materials to Baku, allowing Zhukov to expand the Soviet army from hundreds of thousands to 2.8 million in just half a month.

Of course, this will increase the number of troops, but of course the combat effectiveness will decrease, but don't ignore the role of the Soviet political commissars in the army. They brainwash and supervise the war. What those political commissars often say is, for Stalin. For the Soviets, all soldiers

You must fight to the end, otherwise you will be ruthlessly executed by military law, and your family members will be sent to labor camps.

Who dares to run in this situation? If you run away, you will not only be executed, but you will also harm your family. If you die in the charge, you will get a martyr. If these Soviet troops are not completely defeated and the political commissar is eliminated, the Soviet troops will definitely fight to the death. This shows that the spiritual belief

horrible.

"Thank you, Comrade Chuikov. You are urging me to ask the other side to send us some Katyusha and weapons. If there is none, try to give us more anti-tank grenades. This is a battle related to the future and destiny of our Soviet Union.

We must be hard-hearted and send more soldiers to the battlefield. We can only use our flesh and blood to forge our steel defense line."

"Comrade Zhukov, don't worry. You can command the battle with peace of mind. I will be responsible for all the logistics. I will ensure that you have no worries."

Chuikov still had some connections in Moscow. Chuikov sent several telegrams in succession. Chuikov was looking for friends to help him get some weapons and ammunition. Now the Soviet troops in the Far East were mobilizing to Moscow. Some weapons and ammunition were indeed too much. Chuikov spoke.

The main point is that those old comrades will more or less give Chuikov what they don't need for the time being.

…

The general headquarters of Zhang Jun and Rommel were still located in the Rostov City Hall. Although Zhang Jun was gambling, Zhang Jun still prepared a back-up plan. Zhang Jun sent several telegrams to SS Marshal Himmler.

, asked how many local SS troops there are now,

Himmler's call back made Zhang Jun very happy. This Himmler had no other abilities, but he was still very good at recruiting people. The number of local SS troops in Germany is now around 1.5 million. This is not even

Including 1.05 million people of the Waffen SS.

Zhang Jun told Himmler that the total strength of the SS cannot exceed 2.5 million people, otherwise the Wehrmacht gang is afraid that they will use bad medicine again. Now Zhang Jun asks Himmler to immediately reorganize 500,000 local SS troops.

, if there are no tanks, just reorganize them into infantry. There is no shortage of German light weapons and artillery. Even trucks are available here. Zhang Jun's worst thing now is his military strength.

In order to gain military exploits, Himmler thought he had landed a good job as the commander-in-chief of Army Group South. In fact, this was a big hole in the Wehrmacht, waiting for Himmler, the "fighting chicken among cocks", to jump in. Now the battle of Baku

It can be seen that the Soviet Union has actually gathered almost 3.4 million troops. Although they are farmers who have just put down their hoes, who dares to say that these people will not become elite soldiers after fighting several battles.

Of course, Himmler also knew Zhang Jun's actual situation. On the day he received Zhang Jun's telegram, he issued a convening order to Germany and all European Leagues. All young people of the appropriate age in the European Leagues could apply to join the German SS.

Army, the most invincible, elite and honorable force in the world.

Himmler ordered the reorganization of 700,000 SS troops. There were 300,000 SS troops in other European countries. Himmler pieced together one million SS troops for Zhang Jun. Now the German national weapon

The reserve was in trouble. Zhang Jun was the Minister of Equipment of Germany. With Zhang Jun's order, these newly formed armed SS troops directly emptied the German weapons reserve.

This made the grandsons of the Wehrmacht dissatisfied, and they directly sued Hitler. Although Hitler said he didn't care about Zhang Jun's SS, in fact he was worried in his heart. According to intelligence, the Soviet Union was actually in Stalingrad.

There were 3.4 million troops gathered in Baku and Baku, no less than the Soviet army in the direction of Moscow, but Hitler did not want to take back what he said.

In order to appease the Wehrmacht, Hitler ordered that the total strength of the German SS should not exceed three million. As for the weapons removed by the newly formed SS, Germany would just step up production. Besides, the Wehrmacht has no shortage of weapons. It would be unreasonable for the Wehrmacht to file a complaint.

The purpose is to restrict the development of the SS. Hitler understood the purpose of the Wehrmacht very well, so when Hitler issued this total force restriction order, the Wehrmacht stopped making noises. The grandsons of the Wehrmacht always believed that the Wehrmacht was the regular armed force of Germany.

The SS can only be miscellaneous.

"Okay...Marshal Himmler, you have finally done a good job. Brother Rommel, we will start fighting tomorrow. We are not afraid of sacrificing soldiers now. I dare to fight with 500,000 people, haha."

"Report."

"Oh! It's Otto, have you obtained any information?"

Because the information Zhang Jun knew was very limited, last night, Zhang Jun ordered the "Storm Commandos" to infiltrate into the Soviet positions and arrest a few Soviet officers with slightly higher positions. Now Otto is here to ask Zhang Jun

reported.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, according to the account of a Soviet lieutenant colonel we captured, the current top commander in the Baku area is Zhukov, and the deputy commander is Chuikov. Zhukov has expanded the number of troops in the Baku area to 2.8 million, adding

The strength of the troops is 600,000, and their supply lines are shipped through the Caspian Sea. In recent days, a large amount of weapons and ammunition have been shipped to the Baku area, and the specific time is unknown."

"Well, Lieutenant Colonel Otong, thank you for your hard work. You have completed your mission very well. I will take credit for you. You can go down and rest first."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief...dongdong..."

Otto left the headquarters after reporting the situation. Zhang Jun waited for Otto to leave before showing a sad face. This is no joke. The Soviet army actually expanded to 2.8 million. Even if these people have no weapons and bare hands,

Two anti-tank grenades per person would be enough for Zhang Jun's SS troops to drink a pot.

The Soviet Union's supply lines in the Caspian Sea and the city opposite Baku can be bombed, but the effect is definitely not obvious. The Caspian Sea is more than two hundred kilometers wide. The Soviet Union can completely use the night time for transportation, and the German bombing effect will definitely have no effect.

However, Zhang Jun still ordered his air force to immediately bomb all ports and docks opposite Baku, which could at least slow down the Soviet Union's supply speed.

"My deputy commander, we can't wait any longer. We will launch an attack at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. If we don't break through from the middle, we will attack along the coastline of the Caspian Sea. Attacking a place is equivalent to cutting off the Soviet army in this area from receiving supplies from the Caspian Sea.

channel, so we only need to face

With the Soviet Union on the front and one side, we can concentrate our forces more for assault. We first attack along the Caspian Sea coastline to the border with Azerbaijan. Then we change the direction of the attack and attack the capital of Georgia. Then we can defeat the Soviet troops north of Azerbaijan.

All surrounded.

The remaining Soviet troops are nothing to worry about. We have eliminated the Soviet Union's effective forces, but it is no longer possible for us to safely capture Baku. I know Zhukov. He will definitely blow up all the oil fields in Baku before retreating.

Destroyed or ignited, it cannot be left to us intact. As for convincing Zhukov or Chuikov to surrender, don’t think about it, they will never surrender.”

Rommel still has that kind of character. Zhang Jun issued the strategic decisive battle order. Rommel would never say "agree" until he thought about it clearly. In Rommel's words, he needs to be responsible for millions of SS troops. When Rommel waits
Chapter completed!
