Chapter 396: Wait

On November 7, 1941, Hu Yunfeng ordered Amsterdam to contact the Germans and sell the winter clothes stocked in Amsterdam to Germany at a high price. Of course, Hu Yunfeng's order did not forget to ask the Germans to pay with gold.

The German army did not defeat the Soviet army as expected, and it was short of winter clothes to keep warm at this time. Although Germany had begun to do its best to produce winter clothes for German soldiers on the front line, the time was too tight to meet the needs of the German army. The 1.5 million sets of winter clothes in Amsterdam were undoubtedly a timely help to the German army. Although Hu Yunfeng sold more than three times more expensive than German production, Germany purchased them all without hesitation.

It is undoubtedly a pleasant thing to earn a large amount of gold from the Germans. However, in Hitler's thank-you telegram, the rest told Hu Yunfeng that now was the best time for him to cooperate with the German army to launch a war in the Far East, and asked Hu Yunfeng to cooperate with the German army's "Autumn Offensive" to launch a Far East War against the Soviet Union when the German army launched the "Autumn Offensive" to attack Moscow.

Hu Yunfeng sent Hitler a telegram perfunctorily telling Hitler that the Soviet port army would launch the Far East war at the time when the German army needed the most. After cooperating with the German army to seize Moscow, he continued to pay attention to the offensive and defensive war between Germany and the Soviet side in Moscow.

Hitler obtained the winter clothes prepared by Hu Yunfeng for the German army and immediately gave priority to the German army fighting in Moscow. In order to avoid frostbite and loss of personnel in the war, Hitler also postponed the "Autumn Offensive". It was not until November 16 that all German troops participating in the Battle of Moscow put on winter clothes, and Hitler ordered the start of the "Autumn Offensive."

On November 15, 1941, the ground finally freezes and hardens, solving the problem of mud. The German armoured advance troops first unblocked and once again tried to surround Moscow and Noginsk east of Moscow. To achieve this goal, the German 3rd and 4th armored groups needed to concentrate their troops between the Moscow reservoir and Mozaisk to attack Klin and Solnechnogorsk, and surround the capital from the north; to the south, the German 2nd armored legion tried to bypass Tula, who was still in the Soviet Union, advance towards Kahira and Kolomna, and then meet with the German army heading south from the north in Noginsk.

On November 16, 1941, the German tank army began to attack Klin, who had no available Soviet reserves. As Stalin was preparing to launch a counterattack in Volokoramsk, all available reserves were concentrated in the south. The German initial attack attempted to separate the two Soviet legions, that is, to cut off the ties between the 16th and 30th legions of the Soviet Union. Fierce battles broke out in the two sides in the following days. Although the German army made great efforts, the Soviet army's deep defense reduced the casualties of the Soviet army. In addition, the 16th legion of the Soviet Union also slowly retreated and continuously blocked the German army's attempt to break through the defense line.

After fierce battle, the 3rd German Armored Legion finally captured Klin on November 24, 1941, and occupied Solnechnogorsk on November 25, but the Soviet resistance was still tenacious, and the outcome of the war was not decided. On November 28, the 7th German Armored Division captured a bridgehead crossing the Moscow-Volga Canal. This was the last natural obstacle in front of Moscow City - less than 35 kilometers away from Kremlin.

; However, after crossing the river, he was forced to retreat to the other shore due to a powerful counterattack from the 1st Soviet Assault Corps. In northwest of Moscow, the German Wehrmacht arrived in Karaslaya Polyana, which is no more than 20 kilometers away from Moscow. German generals could already see some of the major buildings in the Soviet capital through binoculars, but both the Soviet and German troops were seriously exhausted, with only 150 to 200 infantry left in some brigades.

Near Tula to the south, the offensive resumed on November 18, 1941, and the German 2nd Armored Corps tried to surround the city. As the Germans who participated in the battle had suffered a lot of losses in the previous battles, the Germans advanced only 5 to 10 kilometers a day in the initial offensive. In addition, the German tank army was side-attacked by the 49th and 50th Soviet legions near Tula, which slowed down further. However, Guderian was able to continue the offensive. He led his troops to launch an attack, captured Stalin Nogelsk on November 22, 1941 and surrounded a Soviet army stationed there.

Sniper Division. On November 26, German armored troops captured Kahira, where they could control the main expressway to Moscow. In response, the Soviet army launched a powerful counterattack the next day. General Belov's 2nd Cavalry Army was rushed to convene the 173rd Sniper Division, the 9th Tank Brigade, two ** tank regiments and training and military academy units to block the German attack near Kahira. The Germans were repelled in early December, thus defending the southern wing of Moscow. Tula himself was also defended by fortifications and the protection of resolute defenders including soldiers and civilians. To the south, the German Wehrmacht had never approached Moscow.

Due to the resistance on the north and south wings of Moscow, the German Wehrmacht launched a frontal attack from the west on December 1st, near Naro Fonminsk along the Minsk-Moscow Expressway. However, the offensive had only a limited number of tank support but encountered the intensive defense of the Soviet army. After being resisted by the 1st Guard Motorized Sniper Division and side attack by the 33rd Soviet Army, the German offensive was repelled four days later, and 10,000 casualties were paid and dozens of tanks were lost.

The temperature has dropped to minus 20 to 50 degrees, which is still acceptable for the Russian troops. The German army has not suffered from large-scale frostbite and freezing death like history because of the winter clothes provided by Hu Yunfeng. However, although Hu Yunfeng prepared winter clothes for the German army, something that Hu Yunfeng did not expect happened. Of course, even if he thought about it, he was unable to prepare for the German army in advance. The German vehicles were not designed to operate in such a cold climate, and the German tanks and armored vehicles engine designs did not consider fighting in such cold weather. Therefore, under this severe cold, the German tanks and armored vehicles and various vehicles could not work normally, and the vehicles had to be heated for several hours before use. Even when the German artillery fired shells, the frozen antifreeze on each shell must be removed.

History did not change the fate of the German army because Hu Yunfeng prepared winter clothes for the German army in advance. Instead, it was because the army in the Soviet port and the Kwantung Army went south to relieve Stalin's concerns about the Kwantung Army. Stalin had a large number of elite Far East Soviet troops as reserves, which made the German army even more unfavorable.

When Jiang Baili was revising the plan to seize the "homeland" in the Far East, Hu Yunfeng used his so-called "mysterious intelligence" prediction method to tell Jiang Baili about the entire process of the Battle of Moscow in the Soviet Union. In the past, all the predictions of Hu Yunfeng's "mysterious intelligence agency" happened very accurately, so Jiang Baili believed in Hu Yunfeng's prediction and formulated a "homeland" plan based on his prediction. Jiang Baili revised the "homeland" plan, which planned to implement the "homeland" plan to seize the "homeland" plan after Stalin put all the reserves in his hands into the counterattack of the German army. According to the Soviet army provided by Hu Yunfeng, it would start the counterattack on December 5, Jiang Baili expected that by the end of December, the Soviet army would devote most of the Soviet army transferred from the Far East to the counterattack against the German army. Therefore, the plan to seize the "homeland" in the Far East was scheduled to be at the end of December 1941 or early January 1942.

Originally, Hu Yunfeng thought that the German army could last longer with winter clothes to protect the cold, but from the intelligence analysis currently obtained, the German army did not make its combat effectiveness stronger because it obtained enough winter clothes to protect the cold. Instead, Stalin obtained a large number of elite troops from the Far East, which was much stronger than in history. Therefore, Hu Yunfeng had to consider whether it was time to launch a plan to capture the Far East in advance.

On December 4, when the temperature dropped to minus 52 degrees Celsius, the German army could no longer fight. In particular, the armored army commanded by Guderian could not move further towards Moscow due to the severe cold, so he decided to retreat first. On December 5, all German troops involved in the Battle of Moscow were blocked by the severe cold and stopped their attack.

The Soviet army's attack was carried out as scheduled. In early December, the Soviet army invested a total of 58 divisions. However, although these new divisions participated in the battle, the total number of Soviet troops participating in the counterattack was only 1,100,000, which was only a little more than the German army. However, due to careful deployment, it achieved a 2-to-1 advantage in some important strongholds. On December 5, 1941, the counterattack was launched by the Kalinin Front. After two days of fierce fighting, the Soviet army recovered several other cities near Karaslaya Polyana and Moscow.

On the same day, Hitler signed Order No. 39, ordering the German army to move into defense on the entire front. However, because the German army failed to establish effective defense in the occupied position, urgently needed to retreat to reorganize its front, Guderian and Hans Schummit and Wolflam von Richthofen discussed on the same day, and agreed that the current front could not be held. On December 14, Franz Halder and Gint von Kruger finally agreed to make a limited retreat to the Oka River to the west without Hitler's approval. On December 16, 1941, during a meeting with the senior German commander, Hitler revoked the retreat order and ordered his soldiers to stick to every inch of land they occupied, and dig trenches to hide howitzers if needed.

Guderian expressed his objection, pointing out that the losses caused by the cold actually resulted in more losses than in the battle. On the contrary, Hitler insisted on sticking to the current front. Guderian was removed from office on the same day, and the commanders of the 4th Armored Legion and the 9th Legion Erich Hepner, Adolf Strauss, and Fedor von Bock were also dismissed. The official reason was health reasons. Hitler's commander-in-chief Walter von Brauşć was also dismissed on December 19, 1941.

At the same time, the Soviet offensive continued; in the north, Klin and Kalinin were liberated on December 15 and December 16, respectively, while the Kalinin Front Army continued to advance westward. Ivan Konev, the commander of the Soviet front army, tried to surround the German Central Army, but when Rezev encountered tenacious resistance and was forced to stop advancing, forming a protruding unit until 1943; in the south, the offensive was relatively smooth, and the Southwest Front Army cleared Tula on December 16, 1941.

The Luftwaffe implemented reinforcements, and Hitler believed that this was the only hope to save the situation. The two reorganized bombing brigades, the 4th and 30th bombing brigades of the 2nd Air Force flew from Germany to the front line, and the four transport brigades received 102 Junker-52 transport aircraft sent by the 4th Air Force, which will be used to withdraw German army units and improve supplies to the front line troops. These final efforts have achieved results, and the help of the Luftwaffe forces prevented the defeat of the Central Army.

The German army did not retreat and let Hu Yunfeng feel relieved. Although the German army could not attack, it was still resisting, which had already dragged the Soviet army. Hu Yunfeng also followed Jiang Baili's opinion and did not continue to launch an operation to seize the Far East in advance. Waiting for Stalin to devote more reserves to the battle with the German army.

The German army disappointed Hu Yunfeng, but the ***ers did not disappoint Hu Yunfeng. Hu Yunfeng provided the ***ers with detailed information on the Pearl Harbor's US Pacific Fleet in November. Of course, even if he did not provide the ***ers, he would know that he only provided the ***ers with detailed information on the Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor. Naturally, he wanted to reduce his vigilance against him and let the ***ers dare to attack Pearl Harbor. The ***ers are now very relieved about Hu Yunfeng for the time being, because Hu Yunfeng not only provided the detailed information on Pearl Harbor in November, but also provided them with detailed information on the British Far East Fleet on December 1. Hu Yunfeng also promised to sell a batch of oil and rubber to them and suspend the construction of the China-Laos highway.

Therefore, the *** people no longer worry about stabbing the US Pacific Fleet when they sneak attacked the US Pacific Fleet. The *** people were also like history. At dawn on December 8, 1941, the *** United Fleet dispatched about 360 aircraft and 55 warships. led by Tadaichi Nakamoto, and attacked the US *** ships and airports in Pearl Harbor twice in a row, sunk and injured 19 warships, including 8 battleships, destroyed and injured more than 260 aircraft. The US military caught off guard, and almost all the main forces of the Pacific Fleet were destroyed, killing and injured more than 3,000 people. At the same time, more than 400,000 troops from the Southern Army, commanded by Shouichi Teraune, divided troops to attack Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines and Myanmar.

With the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States immediately declared war on the United States, and the major countries in the world were trapped in the quagmire of World War II. To the west of the Soviet port, Germany and the Soviet Union were in a melee. To the east, the US Pacific Fleet was hit hard by the people. The United States itself could not cope with the sneak attack on the United States and could not threaten Vietnam, Indonesia, and Australia. Hu Yunfeng no longer needed to consider the United States, the factor that restrained the Soviet port. Although *** is now advancing rapidly, Hu Yunfeng knows better than anyone else that *** is just a return to death. *** is going to attack Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore and the Philippines, and it is also not threatening Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia for the time being. The water has been mixed up, and Hu Yunfeng feels that he can finally start fishing in the water, throw away all his burdens and prepare to seize the Far East.

Of course, although the water was mixed, some fish that could bite people were still captured first. The Soviet army still had about 350,000 troops in the Far East. Although Stalin transferred 700,000 Soviet port troops from Mount Siehot, and Dariganga's army, Hu Yunfeng's army had an absolute advantage in terms of number of troops over the Soviet army in the Far East. However, the Soviet port army not only had to face the 350,000 Soviet troops in the Far East, but also had to face the Soviet army that could reinforce from the Soviet battlefield. Therefore, when resolving the 350,000 Soviet troops in the Far East, Hu Yunfeng had to minimize casualties in the Soviet port army.

Shortly after Hu Yunfeng came to the Soviet Port, he imitated the famous "Red Building" in the Soviet Port, and built a "Red Building" specifically to corrode the party, government and military personnel in the Far East of the Soviet Union. Now it is time for the Soviet Far East party, government and military personnel who have enjoyed in the "Red Building" to reduce casualties in the Soviet Port army.

Although many Soviet party, government and military personnel in the Far East have enjoyed it in the "Red Building" and they all have the handle to fall into the hands of Sandra's intelligence agencies, it is impossible to send people to the door to threaten those people. Only by concentrating them in the Soviet port to threaten it is the safest way. At this time, Hu Yunfeng, Uncle Lin, and Sandra were thinking together how to bring the Soviet party, government and military personnel in the "Red Building" who have enjoyed it in the "Red Building" and have the handle to the Soviet port.

Now is the most difficult time for the Soviet Union to resist the German offensive. Although the Kwantung Army headed south, Japan and the Soviet Union also set up a demilitarized zone in the border areas of northeast China and the Soviet-Mongolia, and Japan and the United States also started war, Stalin did not relax his vigilance against the Kwantung Army. He repeatedly ordered the Far East Military Region to be prepared for the *** raid. Therefore, when the Far East Military Region confronted the Kwantung Army was in the first-level preparation for war, the Soviet commander could not leave at all, which was also a problem that stumped Hu Yunfeng, Uncle Lin and Sandra.

"Yunfeng, please ask the Soviet commanders to watch our new weapons as a reason. What do you think?" Uncle Lin asked thoughtfully.

"What weapon to disclose to the Soviet army?" There are only a few selected weapons in the Soviet port, and Hu Yunfeng must not let the weapons explode before the action.

Sandra nodded and smiled sly: "You can show the helicopters originally designed to the Soviets. Anyway, that thing doesn't have much practical value. Of course, we have to tell the Soviets that what we have come up with is a mysterious weapon that can determine the outcome of the war."
