Originally, the Germans thought that the casualties of the Far East Army would not be small, but this time they calculated wrongly. In the first battle, the Far East Army suffered only a few thousand casualties. Regarding this, the Far East staff subsequently made a correct analysis.
First of all, in the first battle, the German army launched the attack, and the Far East Army fought on the defensive position, so the casualties were relatively small. Secondly, during the shelling of the Far East Army, the German army's position was not strong enough, so it caused huge casualties.
Secondly, the first battle was mainly a battle between armored corps.
The failure of the first battle seemed to make the fascist German army even more passionate, so a few days later they launched a second fierce battle. Summarizing the lessons of the previous failure, the German army slightly changed its tactics, so the second battle resulted in both sides losing their battle.
lost heavily.
However, after the German army launched the attack, Li Ningyu immediately determined that the German army's main attack direction this time was the right wing, so he directly mobilized three armored corps and began to advance in parallel. At first, the German army wanted to transfer the 121st Armored Division to fight on the northern front, but then
As the attack of the right-wing troops was frustrated, the German army had to suspend the attack of the left-wing armored troops and move the 7th and 121st Armored Divisions to the right. The purpose of this was to strengthen the strength in the main offensive direction. However, this adjustment resulted in the other units of the left-wing German 6th Group Army only being
If you can take a defensive position, you can only use small squadron attacks and artillery attacks to contain the Far East Army.
After discovering the situation on the German left wing, the two reserve armored armies of the Far East Army immediately joined the battle. In the end, the war between the two sides reached a fever pitch.
As early as the beginning of World War II, the oil supplies of the three Sith countries were almost completely interrupted, so Germany and Italy could only transport fuel back to their homeland from Africa. However, after the declaration of war in the Far East, almost all German and Italian ocean-going tankers
It was sunk by the British and American navies and air forces, which made it impossible for the German armored forces to organize a large-scale counterattack.
On the sixth day of the second battle, the Armored Group of the Far East Army continued to advance, and the German army was repulsed step by step. Although the German army transferred the main force of the 21st Armored Group from the southern front and began to maneuver to the left, Li Ningyu had already moved to the left according to the German army.
The situation changed the Far East Army's combat plan, and it was determined to carry out a deep breakthrough at the weak defensive position of the German left wing.
So on the ninth day, the Fourth and Fifth armies of the Far East Army, with more than 300,000 men, arrived at the German left wing area, and then immediately began to cut off the retreat of the German left wing troops. The German 121st Armored Division and the 90th Light Armored Division
The divisions jointly launched a counterattack, but with the cooperation of the Far East Armored Group Army, the German counterattack was ineffective. At this time, the German army only had more than 200 tanks left, while the Far East Army still had more than 800 heavy tanks on the left front.
among.
In the early morning of the 11th, the German army once again launched a new attack. After three days of artillery preparations, thousands of German artillery began to bombard the Far East Army. Then the two German infantry divisions, the 151st and 152nd, were behind the 9th Armored Division.
With the cooperation, they launched a front attack, but encountered stubborn resistance from the Far East Army. In this battle, the 203rd and 204th Equipment Groups of the Far East Army were all involved in the battle. The battle lasted until the next night. In the end, the German 15th and 16th Infantry Divisions were defeated.
It ended with total annihilation. From then on, the armored units of the Far East Army achieved a breakthrough at the junction of the German left wing, and the two combat forces formed one.
From this point on, the entire Battle of Stadt began to enter the final stage, which was the third round of the battle. However, at this time, the German left and right defense lines had basically been captured by the Far East Army, with only the 10th Infantry Division and the 7th Armored Division
and the three frontline positions controlled by the 4th Division, and Li Ningyu then ordered to launch an in-depth attack from these three points as a breakthrough point.
Before launching a counterattack against the German army, because most of the German tanks were either destroyed in the battle or ran out of fuel, the German armored forces had basically been lost. Before launching a counterattack, Li Ningyu ordered the Far East Air Force stationed in Switzerland
, conducted a thorough air attack on the German army, resulting in the destruction of most of the German tanks.
After the air raid ended, the Far East Army launched a full-scale counterattack. 164 divisions along the route launched attacks at the same time. Finally, as the German 7th Army was annihilated, the German army ordered a full retreat, and the Far East Army pursued it. Finally, due to heavy rain, the Armored Group Army stopped its pursuit.
The Battle of Tadi ends here.
In the following time, under the heavy pressure of the Far East Army, the German army began to retreat from the border areas of France and Switzerland. Then the Far East Army successfully broke into France and finally reached a position only 150 kilometers away from Paris.
The army was approaching step by step, so along the way, it not only controlled the jurisdiction over the land, but also further consolidated its air superiority.
But then, regarding the lengthening of the entire supply line of the Far East Army, the Far East Army began to experience insufficient equipment supplies and difficult logistics support. At this time, the Far East Army was no longer able to continue to advance, so it could only be forced to shift to strategic defense.
outgoing.
At the same time, after the failure of the Battle of Stade, the German army continued to strengthen its military power in France and actively prepared for war. This time the German army learned its lessons and adopted careful preparations and deployments, and in position defenses,
They put in a lot of effort, but the Germans didn't know that the fortifications they built were not intended for the Far East Army, because the Far East Army was not ready to continue advancing for the time being.
However, the solid defenses of the German army left a deep impression on the British and American coalition forces, because at this time, the countdown to Operation Overlord by the British and American coalition forces had begun, and the logistics deficiencies claimed by the Far East Army were actually false. You must know that logistics
Russia has always been responsible for the problem, but it does not mean that the Far East Army does not have its own logistics supplies.
Throughout the Battle of Stadi, it can be said that both the Far East Army and the Fascist German Army suffered heavy losses, so Li Ningyu was not prepared to continue to consume them, because with the end of the Battle of Stadi, the turning point he needed had appeared.
The Battle of Stadi was a battle fought hard by both sides, resulting in millions of casualties. Faced with such a huge cost of casualties, Li Ningyu was heartbroken, but it was unavoidable. Fortunately, the overall casualties of the German army were greater than those of the Far East Army.
Much more, otherwise his heart might have begun to waver.
The news that the Far East Army stopped only 150 kilometers away from Paris, the capital of France, quickly spread throughout the countries. At this time, the British and American coalition forces, which had prepared the Overlord Plan, were already a little impatient, because they did not want to see the French capital.
In the end, they were liberated by the Far East, so their Normandy landing was finally advanced by a week.
