The imperial war usually has two command headquarters, one is the front-line command, and the other is the General Staff Operations Department of the Central Military Department. The General Staff Operations Department is the core organization of the General Staff. With the systemization of the Central Defense Commission, the Emperor**
The four general mechanisms of the General Staff, General Equipment, General Logistics, and General Political and Education Department have also been launched. This four general system has weakened the characteristics of the General Staff as the single dominant general staff in the past, but the General Staff is still
The first of the four headquarters, its two most important core institutions are the General Staff Operations Department and the Central Military Intelligence Department.
The Central Military Department has the final say in the strategic decision, and the front-line command is responsible for the specific battle. The front-line command must also provide instant feedback to all dynamic information and information on the front-line every day.
The empire's general offensive on the Russian battlefield was fully launched before the German plan. As the battle situation continued to develop, the Central General Staff and Operations Department also continued to collect new information, produce a complete military flag map, and conduct a comprehensive strategic analysis.
Emperor Song Biao spent most of his time in the staff and operations department recently, personally checking all information feedback and sorting out omissions. The war against Germany means that the future fate of the empire is determined by this, even if Emperor Song Biao had a respect for the Imperial Defense Force.
Absolute trust must also be treated more cautiously in the command of every battle.
Similarly, as the most outstanding military strategist in this era, after the various data feedback from the front line arrived in the hands of Emperor Song Biao, even if there is no need to make a clear image of the military flag, Emperor Song Biao is still very qingchu what the situation is on the battlefield.
.
Whether it is classical wars, modern wars, or modern wars, the generals' jingyàn are the most precious wealth. Zhao Tingzhu, who has commanded many large-scale crossing battles, has a very special advantage in this Volga battle.
, and the various preparations he made fully demonstrated this.
General Zhao Tingzhu prepared a variety of methods of crossing the river. In order to cover the attack, he also dispatched enough air and artillery troops to maintain the suppression of the enemy's artillery troops and shore defense bunker firepower.
He mainly uses two methods: bridge ferry and boat ferry, and at the same time uses the airborne division to directly descend to enemy rear for interception and rear destruction. Large-caliber cannons and tank destroyers can effectively deal with the German shore defense bunkers. The tank destroyers themselves are medium-sized
The tank is equipped with a large-caliber cannon. In addition to being used to attack heavy tanks, its better use is the attack defense fortifications, which has a greater caliber and power than the main battle tank.
Although the final result was not yet, in early July, Emperor Song Biao had roughly qingchu's total scale and various deployments. With Emperor Song Biao, a military commander who can basically be considered an outsider,
From a glance, he believed that it would be difficult for the German army to block the imperial attack in the northern front of Kazan, even though the German army was supported by the Nazi Northern Army Group on the Kazan defense line at this time.
Shortly after the official war began, the Nazi German army almost lost the entire Eastern Front air force, the position lacked air force cover, and at the same time had to withstand large-scale attacks and bombings from the air force. The first round of Kazan offensive launched by the Northwest Alliance was indeed
All the elite troops were out, and from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Northwest Alliance had already broken through the German northern defense line on the Volga River, broke through from Kazan, and occupied the German positions, the First Railway Engineering Brigade and the Second Engineering Brigade
Large-scale temporary railway bridge construction was launched on site, trying to restore the previously destroyed railway lines in Nazi Germany.
The large number of rocket launchers and air force bombing forces provided the Empire's Northwest Alliance with deeper attack capabilities. The shells were vented like heavy rain and hit the rear of the German second-line position.
The smoke was rolling on the entire Volga River and the war was roaring.
Hundreds of thousands of artillery shells continued to bombard the German fortification line like rain. On such a messy position, tanks, especially medium and heavy tanks, had already been difficult to exert effective maneuverability, and even
It is also difficult to advance effectively with light weight armored infantry fighting vehicles, so they can only rely on the courage and fearlessness of the soldiers to advance forward.
This is how war is. When it comes to the most tragic moment, it is inevitable that it will rely on bayonets and bullets to decide the final winner.
The German army mainly relied on lighter anti-tank guns and 30mm caliber light infantry guns, as well as conventional mortars and machine guns to provide heavy fire strikes, while the Empire used similar combat methods, and the Tongguo radio indicated coordinates, requiring the Air Force's attack aircraft group.
In this Kazan Battle, the Empire also used propeller-powered first-generation armed helicopters. The main attack methods on the battlefield were aviation cannons and rockets, although this was called "Snow"
The armor of the owl's armed helicopters is very low in speed and lacks effective attacks on armored vehicles and tanks. However, its special flight flexibility makes a large number of helicopters detour the enemy's rear, mainly attacking the enemy's trucks and artillery positions.
Task.
Even on the front-line battlefield, the Snow Owl helicopter can add a new link to the Empire's frontal offensive system, making the Empire's offensive more three-dimensional. Compared with the German army's more equipped anti-tank guns and light infantry guns, the Empire is generally
It is equipped with a single bazooka and a large caliber mortar, as well as a 25mm machine gun with a very high rate of fire.
The basic equipment of the Chinese and German armies is actually basically the same, whether it is tanks, armored vehicles, machine guns, anti-tank guns, mortars, general machine guns, or other grenades, mortars, etc., this is basically because of the military technology of both sides.
In-depth cooperation with military industry, but the performance and combat methods of the two sides on the battlefield are completely different. When large clusters of tanks are difficult to deploy in urban ruins, dense fortress defense lines and other areas, the development direction is more balanced and the system construction is more
The Imperial Army, which has more fierce firepower at the first level of individual soldiers and squads, obviously has a greater advantage.
With the advantages of the air force, the Nazi German defensive front soon retreated from Harpenabin on the other side of Kazan to Buinsk, losing 70 kilometers of defense within one day, against the Nazi German troops who had swept across Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Especially for the most elite Central Army Group of the Nazi German army, it is a great shame.
The times create heroes.
Are generals like Zhao Tingzhu, Wei Lihuang, Xue Yue stronger or weaker than Nazi Marshal Fedor, Von Bock, Heinz Guderian, Heinrich Wittinghoff and others?
This is probably a very strong saying of qingchu, but in war, the winner will always be the king.
Since I defeated you, I am strong.
This is a simple truth.
The German defeat began on this day, and in the following week, the armored forces and tank brigades of the Imperial Army crossed the Volga River one after another. When the fourth armored cluster of the Nazi Northern Army arrived in Tambov, the Northwest Alliance of the Imperial Northwest Army concentrated its armor.
The main tank troops were trying to launch an encirclement and annihilation offensive against the German third armored cluster in the Ulyanovsk area of the West Bank.
In order to avoid being encircled and annihilated, the third German armored cluster was forced to retreat sharply. Wei Lihuang, who was responsible for commanding the operation, immediately made a decision, changed his original combat plan, and took advantage of the momentum to attack Saratov. He retreated on a large scale on the German army. At the same time, the Northwest Alliance of the Empire then opened up all the main port areas in the upper reaches of the Volga River, forming a larger space for main force mobilization. The main force attacked the Central Army Group from top to bottom and attacked the two lines.
Wei Lihuang had no intention of immediately taking over the Central Army Group. Instead, he pulled out the main force. At Balashov, he met the reinforcements of the Northern Army Group. A besieged the city to fight the reinforcements and defeated the reinforcements. Then he mobilized the main force to siege and trapped Volgag. The main force of the Nazi German army.
MacArthur is a famous general of a generation. He has absolutely the advantage of equipment and supplies. He is still not a rival to Mr. Peng in the Korean battlefield. Therefore, the Chinese do not need to be inferior. China has never lacked famous generals in any era, and since ancient times, famous generals have always fought for one battle. , there is no world of difference between them, but more of them are fate.
Overview of the many famous generals in World War II, such as Rommel, Guderian, and Montgomery, are mostly just a trick, while Chinese generals are known for their fickleness and are good at adapting to changes.
The law of war is impermanent.
The first lesson of the Central Military Academy in "Classical Military Studies" is this question. The military changes lie in the ever-changing changes, and the continuous changes in response to the situation are the principles of winning.
...
Volgograd.
Previously, Stalingrad, Volgograd has become the new focus of the Sino-German War. In the south of Volgograd, Su Bin's 10th Army took the lead in capturing the Astrakhan port city and launched a strong attack on the northern part of the Caucasus. Regional situation: The former Soviet Union's oil production areas are mainly concentrated in this area, and Nazi Germany and the Axis powers are increasingly dependent on this. Although Romania can also provide a large amount of oil production capacity, it is still compared with the North Caucasus. A witch is a big witch.
The initial transfer order of the 10th Army was to support the Novosibirsk Army in Volgograd, but the best military commanders could always find better combat goals in the changing war, and arrived at Atlau, a city between Kazakhstan and the Soviet Union. Later, Su Bin realized that after the German army moved a large number of North and the main army group were blocked, the German army's garrison in the North Caucasus was seriously insufficient. Once he was asked to lead the 10th Army into the North Caucasus, the German army would face three sides by the Northwest Army. Dangerous situation of encirclement and annihilation.
The German army had no better countermeasures except for large-scale retreats. If the German army was allowed to complete large-scale retreats, the war would definitely last longer. Su Bin quickly made a bold new idea and reported it to the Northwest Army commander. At the headquarters, given his special identity, Zhao Tingzhu agreed to Su Bin's risky strategy despite Wei Lihuang's opposition.
Attacking the North Caucasus is not a risk. Su Bin's real intention is to take advantage of the emptiness of German troops stationed in the North Caucasus, use the large-scale assault capabilities of two to three armored corpses to cross the North Caucasus and directly attack the Polish army in Ukraine. The role of diplomacy and military forces the Polish garrison to withdraw from Ukraine, causing the Northwest Army to cut off the German retreat route to return to the mainland, and force the German army to evacuate to the Moscow area.
Once the German army really retreated into the Moscow area on a large scale, the Imperial Northwest Army would have a chance to completely turn the main force of the German army into two, and finally encircle and annihilate the Nazi Northern Army Group and the Central Army Group crowded in the Moscow area.
This is a very bold combat plan. The Central Military Department quickly approved this plan and will draw out several new armies from the former South Asian coalition in Central Asia, and form the Second Armored Corps of the Northwest Army with the 10th Army.
Su Bin served as the commander of the Second Armored Corps, commanding the troops to break through the North Caucasus region.
...
In Volgograd, the Chinese and German armies launched a real large-scale position war. Both sides launched an unprecedented tank battle on the north shore of Volgograd with armored vehicles and tanks as the main force.
The Nazi Central Army Group had previously tried to attack the defense line in Volgaski on the east side occupied by the Northwest Army. Due to heavy losses in the air force and aviation forces, and the large-scale raid of the Imperial Army Air Force helicopters crossed the river bank at low altitude to the rear artillery positions, the
Not only did Guderian's main armored cluster fail to cross the river, but was successfully counterattacked by the Northwest Army's air force, losing a large number of tanks and artillery.
Marshal Fedor von Bok tried to retreat to preserve the strength of the Central Army Group, but this self-protection plan was rebuked and severely opposed by the head of state. Marshal Bok was forced to encircle and annihilate the Northern Army Group in Volgograd.
The Northwest Army of the Fourth Armored Cluster fought and tried to defeat the main forces of the Northwest Army. The Second, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Army were the most elite armored army in the Empire. In particular, the Second Army also added an armed army to
The Army Aviation Brigade, which is the main force of helicopter WZ3.
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Army are the most elite main force of the Northwest Army. It has been deployed in the Kazan area. After breaking through the Kazan defense line, these three armored armies quickly went south to encircle and annihilate Erich Hopner.
The fourth armored cluster, when the total number of tanks between the two sides is not very different. The No. 4 tank developed based on the mbt30 tank is not the opponent of the mbt35\35b\40 main battle tank.
The No. 4 tank is based on the mbt30's improved 75mm tank gun. Compared with the mbt35\35b's 90mm rifled gun and the mbt40's 90mm smoothbore gun, the gap is too obvious. The difference between aiming, fire control automation and maneuverability is too big, and in actual combat, it is only
Heavy tanks can compete with mbt series tanks, but the maneuverability of heavy tanks is too weak and can easily be hit by mbt35\35b's armor-breaking bombs, and the number is too small.
Germany must admit that compared with China and the Chinese National Welfare Forces, which have truly entered the world hegemony, the gap in equipment between the German army is obvious. If the German army continues to adopt this tactic of relying too much on mechanical equipment, it will be impossible to face the Chinese National Welfare Forces.
Encounter.
This is an undisputed fact, and this problem will be exposed more clearly in the Battle of Volgograd.
...
Every war is complex.
Marshal Fedor von Bock, who still has the trust of the head of state, continued to command his Central Army Group. He arranged a large number of fortifications on the battlefield in Volgograd to avoid the frontal battle of armored vehicles to avoid the Northwest Army.
Advantages in armor and tank units, and use all measures as much as possible to strengthen the air defense and surrounding defense of artillery units.
Such a war situation made Marshal Fedor von Bock feel extremely painful. The rapid destruction of the Fourth Armored Cluster and the previous continuous defeats of the Central Army Group have made him realize that students cannot defeat the teacher.
The German Army's blitzkrieg theory and equipment system were actually derived from the Chinese National Defense Forces' theory of mechanized revolution, but it was just to avoid talking about this matter within the German army for the so-called national glory. It is now a very obvious result. The German Army's mechanization level is completely inferior to that of
The opponent, continues to fight the annihilation war, mobile warfare, attack war, blitzkrieg of armored clusters... they are not likely to be the opponent of the Northwest Army.
When he could not retreat, Marshal Fedor von Bock burned his boats and completely gave up the mobility of the tank troops, repaired fortifications on a large scale, and used most of the tanks to temporarily increase defense arrangements around fortifications.
As a result, the activity space of German tanks was greatly weakened and they could only be reduced to mobile turrets on the battlefield defense line.
Marshal Fedor von Bock used this self-giveness method to build a large number of new and very solid defensive positions, and intercepted the Northwest Army in the positions around Volgograd, dug trenches, and strengthened air defense to prevent the Northwest.
With the rapid advance of the military armored forces, a large number of landmines were buried on the battlefield.
At this time, the Central Army Group had lost the support of the air force. The reinforcements of the new Nazi Air Force units would have to wait for at least a week before they could arrive one after another. They also lost the support of the Allied forces. The main force of the Northern Army Group was wiped out and they could only continue to defend Moscow.
Regions cannot send more troops to support the Central Army Group.
War is change and anti-change.
The Northwest Army soon launched the most fierce attack on Marshal Fedor von Bock's Central Army Group, but the effect was not good and the sacrifice was very large. Faced with this situation, Wei Lihuang immediately convened a meeting on the Staff Operations Bureau.
, adjust the Northwest Army tactics, strengthen the cluster bombing of the air force and the infiltration operations of ground troops, and at the same time draw more artillery to strengthen artillery attacks.
The main offensive method is tanks, just one defense and one attack.
A war is either not fought, or if you want to fight, you will have an unprecedented battle. If you shoot the bow and don’t come back, no matter how big the sacrifice is, you must win the final victory.
The changes in tactics of both sides made the Battle of Volgograd return to the Soviet-German War period. Large-scale position wars continued to repeat in offense and counterattack, and the battle became more tragic and cruel.
Emperor Song Biao has been paying close attention to the changes in the Russian battlefield. Even if hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers die on the front line every day, Emperor Song Biao will not hesitate at all and will never give up on this battle. As long as he wins, the head of state of Hitler will be too.
In this way, if the war reaches this level, whichever China and Germany can win the final victory depends largely on the determination of the heads of state of the two countries.
No one can retreat.
Now it is the battle of the Chinese Empire and the Third Nazi Empire in overall strength. Whoever has a stronger will to fight and whoever has a stronger country will be able to win the final victory.
The firm will to win the final victory at all costs began with Emperor Song Biao and implemented it all the way to the entire army. From October 5 to 17, 1941, the Central National Defense Commission held three consecutive meetings of the Standing Committee, and successively approved the Northwest Army's three consecutive times.
Increasing requirements, all the materials, personnel and equipment required by the Northwest Army Command are continuously transported to the war zone to meet all their requirements, at all costs.
In addition to the three full-load railways and the large amount of war materials hoarded by the Northwest Army in the rear of the Northern War Zone, the Central Army of the Empire used more than 13,000 medium and large transport aircraft, which almost concentrated half of the empire's air transport capacity and increased to the front line on a large scale.
Send new troops to transport new weapons, ammunition and other materials to ensure the operation of front-line troops.
The Empire even ventured toward the 10th Army, which penetrated the North Caucasus battlefield, and the 8th Army carried out two-scale airdrop supplies, placing its hopes on this Second Armored Legion of Northwest. (To be continued...)
