On the night of June 4, Marshal Chen Dao and Marshal Heinrich were summoned by Hitler alone, discussing some details of the battle, and set off to return to the front line the next morning.

Chen Dao was a "habitual airsickness criminal". After taking two sleeping pills, he was carried by the adjutant on the plane and slept back to the Crimean Peninsula.

The effect of sleeping pills has passed. Chen Dao woke up and found that it was almost noon, just lunch time.

After washing up, Chen Dao walked into the temporary restaurant transformed in Sarabas Village and had lunch with Marshal Heinrich.

Seeing the worried Marshal Heinrich, Chen Dao suddenly said, "Mr. Marshal, have you heard of Tian Ji's horse racing story?"

"The story of the 'frog' horse racing? I have never heard of it." Marshal Heinrich shook his head.

Chen Dao took the initiative to ignore the details that Tian Ji became a "frog", and vividly told Marshal Heinrich about Tian Ji's horse racing...

"In the end, under the guidance of Mr. Sun Bin, General Tian Ji won two wins in three games and won two prizes."

Marshal Heinrich said, "I understand what you mean. Our troops play the role of a low-class horse. Our mission is to compete with the Russians' top horses and create opportunities for our top and middle horses."

"We can't say that completely. After all, war is not a one-on-one fight, but a group fight. Among the Russian troops we are about to face, there are mixed horses with upper, middle and lower third-class horses, and the same is true for our troops. Therefore, in the future war, how to allocate the tasks of upper, middle and lower third-class horses with our troops is a very test of our wisdom."

"It's just that no matter how smart you are, you need to rely on the hard power of the troops to support you." Marshal Heinrich said.

"My purpose is to inspect the troops and see if I can find a way to turn the inferior horse in the eyes of our Supreme Command into a superior horse with the outer skin of a inferior horse."

"If you have any need, just tell me and I will do my best to cooperate." Marshal Heinrich said.

After lunch, Chen Dao and Marshal Heinrich returned to the combat command room, and together with the Chief of Staff of the C Group Army Group, Major General Busse, who had just been promoted, began to study the transformation and upgrading plan of the C Group Army Group.

Seeing the organizational table of the C Group Army Group, Chen Dao, Marshal Heinrich and Major General Busai sighed together that only in terms of the number of people, the strength of this group army group is very strong.

C Group Army Group is under the jurisdiction of:

1. The 12th Army of the German Army:

Army Command: Italy's 185th "Lightning" Paratrooper Division, "Saint Mark" Marine Brigade

The 44th Mountain Infantry Army of the German Army: the 1st, 2nd and 4th Mountain Divisions, and the 684th Assault Battalion.

The 2nd Paratrooper Army of the Luftwaffe: The 4th, 5th and 6th Paratrooper Divisions. The 3rd Panzer Army of the (Warried SS) The 3rd Panzer Army of the SS: The 3rd Skeleton Panzer Division, the 11th Nordic Armored Grenadier Division, the 12th Hitler Youth Group Armored Grenadier Division and the 103rd Heavy Armored Brigade.

Because the combat area is adjacent to the Black Sea and the Sea of ​​Azov, the army is supported by the German Navy's Second Aviation Division, which has a fighter wing and three bomber wings.

2. The Eighth Army of Italy:

The 2nd Infantry Army of the Royal Italian Army: the 2nd, 3rd and 5th Infantry Divisions are under its jurisdiction.

The 1st Mountain Infantry Army: The 2nd, 3rd and 4th Mountain Infantry Divisions are under its jurisdiction.

The 35th Motorized Infantry Army: The 3rd Rapid Division, the 9th "Pasupio" and the 52nd "Turin" semi-motorized division.

The 1st Armored Army: The 132nd Armored Division and the 133rd Armored Division of Litorio.

The Eighth Army also has the 8th Task Force of the Direct Air Force, which is under the 22nd Fighter Wing, the 61st Reconnaissance Brigade, the 71st Bomber Brigade and the 8th Transportation Brigade, and has 162 fighter jets, combat reconnaissance aircraft, medium bombers and transport aircraft.

4. The First Army of the Russian Liberation Army:

The 1st Tank Brigade directly under the Army Command

The 1st Infantry Army: The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions are under its jurisdiction.

The 2nd Infantry Army: The 4th, 5th and 6th Infantry Divisions are under its jurisdiction.

5. Romanian Third Army:

The Army Command is directly under the 1st Armored Division of Romania.

Romanian Cavalry Army: The 5th, 6th and 8th Cavalry Brigades under its jurisdiction.

Romanian Mountain Army: The 1st, 2nd, 4th and 7th Mountain Infantry Brigades.

The 4th Romanian Army: The 6th, 7th, 8th and 14th Infantry Divisions under its jurisdiction.

6. The troops directly under the Army Group C Group Command: the 11th and 12th Air Force Field Divisions of the Luftwaffe, the 696th, 697th, 698th, 699th and 700th Assault Arson Battalions of the German Army.

7. German Navy Black Sea Fleet, Royal Italian Navy Black Sea Fleet.

8, Luftwaffe's 6th Air Force

After seeing the organizational table and estimating the number of troops, Chen Dao was shocked. The entire C Group Army Group had more than 800,000 troops.

Chen Dao sighed: "More than 800,000 people, this is just a lineup. As the war progresses, the troops will definitely be strengthened. At that time, it may exceed one million people."

Major General Busse said: "The total number of troops is quite large, but the total number of Italians, Romanians and Russians is more than 500,000, and their weapons and equipment and fighting will are poor. In addition to wasting supplies, they can only be used to fill the defense line and do auxiliary battles such as covering the flanks."

Chen Dao continued: "It is up to man, we must transform them. The purpose of the transformation is that after the Russians face the Russians, they must at least be able to ensure a one-to-one battle loss ratio.

When Italian troops face the Russians, they must be able to ensure that one and a half will be replaced by another Russians. As for Romanians face the Russians, they must be able to change two and one.

The above is about the situation where they face the Russians alone. With our assistance, this number will become uncertain, floating from one to three to one to five. In general, I am still very confident to use this force to kill 1.2 million Russians. The closer ones are the Romanian Third Army and General Vlasov's troops. I think we should check out their troops and understand their needs, especially the needs of grassroots officers and soldiers, and then decide what type of tasks they can perform, so that they can be more confident."

"I'll go with you, just in time to cheer them up." Marshal Heinrich said.

They did it as soon as possible, and the two took their adjutants and guards to the Kerch Peninsula in the eastern Crimean Peninsula, the base of the Romanian Third Army.

As soon as he entered the Romanian Third Army camp, Chen Dao said to Marshal Heinrich: "It seems that Romanian officers and soldiers get along very disharmoniously, and the officers actually openly whipped the soldiers."

"I have heard of this kind of thing before, and today I've confirmed it."
