Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I still can't understand how the Soviets fought this war. The German army launched its attack on June 22 and broke into more than fifty kilometers of Soviet territory that day.
It has been less than half a month since the outbreak of the war. The Germans broke into the country for more than 400 kilometers. The vanguard of the German army on the southern front has even reached the most important industrial base of the Soviet Union, near Kiev."
"Within half a month, the Soviet army not only lost a considerable number of large cities such as Minsk, but also annihilated nearly a million troops. Even if the Germans and Japanese broadcasts boasted some, after removing the water,
, I think at least 50% of it is true, right?”
"And judging from the rigorous character of the Germans, even if they exaggerate their achievements out of strategic needs, they will not be so boastful that they can annihilate tens of thousands of Japanese troops at every turn. In fact, the real results are simply
Not that big.”
"The German army said in the battle report that it captured millions of Soviet soldiers. I think there were hundreds of thousands. You must know that the Soviet Union's Western Front deployed in the direction of Minsk had 6 to 7 million heavy troops. They were completely wiped out by the German army within a week.
.Even if half of the hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, at least two to three hundred thousand people would be captured."
"Judging from the war situation between the two sides in the first half month announced by the German army, the Soviet army's losses in terms of technical equipment were also extremely shocking. On June 22 alone, 1,200 aircraft were destroyed, less than half
Within a month, thousands of tanks and more than 3,000 artillery pieces were lost. The German army captured 2,000 arms trains alone."
"Even if there is a lot of water in the results announced by the German army, the results are quite impressive. If it were any other country, such heavy losses would basically have lost its combat effectiveness. Even us
The Japanese army may not be able to defeat the opponent in front of them. That is to say, the Soviet army, with a total strength of several million, can afford it."
"But I just don't understand. The millions of Soviet troops. In terms of the number of equipment, whether it is tanks, aircraft, or artillery of various calibers, they are far superior to the German army. The number of soldiers is also far higher.
The German army was fighting on its own territory and was still on the defensive, so how could it achieve this result?"
"We must know that even if the intelligence we currently have about the Soviet army is limited, judging from the size of their troops deployed in the Far East, their strength and equipment are no different than a behemoth. The western forces that serve as its key defense
And equipment, it’s even more conceivable.”
"But how could these millions of troops, tens of thousands of tanks, and tens of thousands of aircraft be defeated so miserably? In the past half month alone, if the equipment they lost had been given to us, it would have been enough for us to reach Tokyo.
The ammunition lost is enough to keep us open for several years."
"Judging from the current strategic situation and war situation, I am afraid that the Soviet army's defeat will continue for a long time. And according to the current progress of the German army, this defeat has continued for a period of time, and has been beaten by the German army to Smoleng
The Soviets in Skopje may find it difficult to save even Moscow and Leningrad."
"The quality of the soldiers on both sides and the ability of the commanders are very different. If it were not for the vast territory, judging from the situation of the German army fighting in Western Europe, the Soviets would have been defeated by now. The Soviets are like this. It is really
Thanks to the blessing of their ancestors."
"The defeat of the Soviet army is not a pity, but it has implicated us. External channels have been cut off, and sources of outsourcing have been cut off. As our military industry raw materials are still unable to be self-sufficient, our military industry production efficiency may no longer be able to meet our needs.
At least until our own industrial system is established, we may not be able to meet our needs."
Regarding Guo Bingxun's emotion, Yang Zhen said very unconcernedly: "Old Guo, at least before the end of this year, the Soviet army will not be able to prevent their defeat. Although the Soviet army has an absolute advantage in the number of soldiers and equipment,
But the quality is much worse than that of the German army."
"In the Soviet-Finnish War the year before last, the Soviet army relied on its strong national power to crush Finland. In the Battle of Nomonhan, the Soviet army relied on its superiority in firepower and armor to achieve the final victory. But the real strength of the Soviet army was different from that of Finland.
Their size is not comparable. Compared with the German army, the difference is even greater."
"In a major purge, most of the capable commanders in the Soviet army were purged. The people in charge now are basically rockets. Let's not talk about their ability or not. First of all, there is a serious lack of experience.
.Although the Great Purge has stopped, the shadow still remains in our hearts. Commanders at all levels have developed the habit of focusing only on the situation without considering the actual situation on the battlefield."
"As for the quality of the German army, I think Lao Guo, you have returned from studying in France, so you should be very clear. The German army has the best combat staff in the world, and also has the best-quality grassroots officers. Its awareness of taking the initiative to fight is far from
The Japanese army, which only knows how to act blindly, can be compared."
"Not only is the quality of the commanders very different, but the quality of the soldiers is also very different between the two armies. The Soviet army has expanded too much in recent years. Soldiers can be recruited, but the corresponding training cannot keep up. Moreover, many Soviet military advisers have
The level establishment remains at the usual level."
"Coupled with certain political factors and high-level command factors, it is not surprising that the war situation has turned into the current situation. It is just a pity that some capable generals in the Soviet army will not have too many
There are so many opportunities to display your talents. In the future, I can only wait for the outcome of this war in a German prisoner-of-war camp."
"The troops have been expanded, but the quality of the commanders cannot keep up, and the command of commanders at all levels has been subject to some unnecessary interference. I am afraid only God knows the true combat effectiveness of such troops. When I went to Jiangbei, they once gave
I arranged a military exercise at the division and brigade level."
"But the quality of its commanders, to put it bluntly, is not as good as that of a regiment commander at best. A heavy artillery regiment actually takes too long from deployment to completion of actual combat deployment. Whether it is offensive or defensive.
, its troop deployment is extremely unreasonable. Infantry and artillery coordination is almost non-existent. The rigidity of its tactics is impressive."
"There are many factors that determine victory or defeat in modern war, but talent is the real key to victory or defeat. Without the quality of commanders and soldiers that are commensurate with the size of the army, what will happen with sophisticated equipment? In particular, the quality of commanders cannot be up to par.
To a level commensurate with the position he holds, it would be a disaster for an army."
"At this point, what I admire the most is General Seeckt, the former commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht. It was his painstaking efforts that allowed the German Wehrmacht to retain its vitality during the major disarmament after World War I. This laid the foundation for the future.
It develops and grows and retains its talent base. No matter whether the current German army is an invader or someone else, General Seckter is a role model for all soldiers in the world."
"The German Wehrmacht was able to expand from the Allied Powers' limit of no more than 100,000 German troops after World War I to an army of several million in a short period of time. The strength and organization of the troops increased hundreds of times, and the equipment was also updated. But the quality of the troops
Instead of declining, it actually increased.”
"At the old secret base of Laoheidingzi, I trained all the soldiers in the army, which only had more than a thousand people at the time, according to the standards of company and platoon leaders. All cadres were trained according to the standards of battalion and regiment cadres. This is what I imitated.
Admiral Sekter's approach. Even when we were at the secret base in Qunce Mountain, we followed this approach. This is how we have the quality of our troops with relatively strong combat effectiveness today."
"It's a pity that the knowledge and education level of our troops is simply too low compared with the German army after World War I. The investment in cultivating a military cadre is far less efficient than that of the Germans. And my own level as a leader is also low.
It’s not high, and its capabilities are quite limited for the troops.”
Having said this, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "In addition, the Soviet army's own strategic decision-making also has big problems. Lao Guo, don't you think that the Soviet army's deployment on the western border is not a defensive posture, but a
Is it an offensive posture? Without any precautions, it would be strange if this kind of deployment is not beaten to pieces."
"A lion that is always peeping at others, looking for opportunities to eat others. But he did not expect that he would eventually be bitten by the prey in his eyes. In this war, the Soviet Union relied on its vast territory and huge human resources.
We will achieve final victory, but the price paid will probably not be too small."
"As for us here, Lao Guo, don't worry. As long as the materials we have on hand can survive this year, not only will we receive assistance from the United States next year, but we will also develop ourselves. Duobaoshan Copper Mine has resumed production, although due to the smelter
It is still under construction and cannot smelt the copper for bullet cases and some necessary copper materials we need, but we can currently stock up."
"There is still gasoline, so don't worry. When we complete the construction of our own refinery in the spring of next year, I will give you a large oil field. And this large oil field is right under our noses, within the base area."
.We have our own oil fields and our own refineries, so do we still need to worry about the need for oil?"
Yang Zhen's emotion made Guo Bingxun feel the same. But regarding Yang Zhen's confidence, Guo Bingxun could only shake his head and smile bitterly. When he was negotiating with the Americans, many people didn't understand the factory equipment he wanted by name. They all thought that
, what you need most at this time is arms and other supplies.
But this young number one spent most of it on the introduction of complete sets of industrial equipment. What is most incomprehensible, and even he himself does not understand, is that he not only introduced a complete set of equipment for a refinery,
It also introduced a large number of drilling equipment that was of no use at all, and Gaoxin hired a group of oil experts and workers from the United States.
As for these experts and workers, apart from assisting the Northeast Bureau in training its own technical workers, they have nothing to do almost all day long. Even the dozen or so experts are still being used by this young No. 1 since they are no longer needed.
, but don’t let it go to the Military Polytechnic University to give lectures under the guise of waste.
But not only is there no oil field in the entire base area, but the entire Northeast and even China are recognized as oil-poor countries in the world. Almost everyone does not understand the use of introducing these things. But now he vows to tell himself that when
Give yourself a big oil field next year. Can he really create a big oil field out of flat ground?
