Chapter 437 Kursk Bulge
On the same day, the 2nd Reich Armored Division of the SS launched an attack on the western part of Orel. When the city advanced to the city, the defenders equipped with anti-tank guns were blocked. After a bloody battle, the Soviet Red Army counterattack failed. A detachment of the division attacked southward and cut off the road to Meleva.
At about 3 pm, the commander of the 4th Armored Corps of Hothel ordered Hauser to immediately lead the 2nd Imperial Armored Division of the SS to break the enemy and replace it with the deployment to cut off the retreat of the defenders' retreat. However, Hauser sent a detachment from the 3rd SS SS Armored Division to complete the task and notified Hauser to carry out the task by the 2nd Imperial Armored Division of the Wrath of the SS from the 2nd Imperial Armored Division of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Wrath of the Imperial Armored Division of the Orel was very risky.
At this point, the farthest distance the division has advanced in the city. Hott repeated his order at 1:17 am on March 7, but Hausel responded to the reply he had replied on March 11. However, Hausel respected Hout's third attempt to lead the 2nd Imperial Armored Division of the Wrathful SS to break off contact with the enemy. Using the passage opened by the Armored Division of the Wrathful SS Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team to advance to the north of Orel and deploy it in the east of the city.
The German army continued to advance to the city center at sunset. The division arrived at the middle of two buildings north of Derzhinsky Square. The 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Armored Grenadier Regiment. After a fierce battle with Soviet snipers and defenders that night, the square was captured and killed and killed. After the capture of the square, the site was renamed the "Guard Flag Team Square".
That night, the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Armored Grenadier Regiment, under the command of Colonel Johen Peper, met with the 2nd Battalion at Derzhinsky Square and advanced southward across the Oryor River and established a bridgehead to open the road to Moscow Highway. At the same time, the left wing of the division reached the intersection of the highway to Volchansk and another road to Qiuguyev Highway defended here to prevent the Soviet Red Army from counterattacking
The next day, the Armored Division of the 1st SS Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team headed south to the Oryor River and the bridgehead of Piper to clear the defense of the Soviet Red Army building. To clear the defense of the defenders in the city center, the 1st Armored Grenadier Brigade used the road to Volchansk to enter the city again. At the same time, Perl's troops broke south and fought sporadic battles with the remnants of the defenders and met with the left wing of the division at the intersection of the highway leading to Volchansk and Chiuguyev. Although most of the Armored SS 2nd Imperial Armored Division had left the city. An independent Armored Grenadier Brigade remained in the southwest of the city. The brigade cleared the resistance at sunset. Two-thirds of the city had fallen into the hands of the Germans. The city fell into the hands of the Germans.
Because the German victory in Orel Hitler faced two choices: the first counterattack method was that the Soviet Red Army would inevitably re-launch the offensive and carry out similar actions in Orel. The Soviet Red Army allowed the Soviet Red Army to invade and then counterattack and surround the enemy. The second or preemptive method was made by the Southern Army and the Central Army jointly launched a large-scale attack on the Kursk prominence. In the end, Hitler chose the preemptive method, which led to the outbreak of the Kursk Battle.
Despite the heavy price, the victory of the Oryor Battle helped Li Mo stabilize the left-wing position of the German army in the Southern Army temporarily avoided the dilemma of the Eastern Front and won the reputation of the great commander for Li Mo. Shortly after the end of the Oryor Battle, the Kursk prominent generals formed by the Oryor Battle launched an unprecedented battle that truly determines the final outcome of the war. The Kursk Battle will be the turning point of the fate of both sides.
Hitler was going to launch the Battle of Kursk. (23w[x] But it is already mid-September. In October, the Soviet Union dropped sharply, and the ice and snow were minus 20 degrees below zero. How to fight? The Soviets were living in such an environment, but the German soldiers couldn't stand it.
Fortunately, Li Mo began to study antifreeze oil, soldiers' cold clothes and other winter combat materials a long time ago. Now Germany is still fully prepared in this regard. The Southern Army Group is not short of these things, but the two Army Groups of the Central and Northern Army Groups are in trouble. They obeyed Hitler's orders to not issue winter clothes. Now there are countless soldiers who are still wearing summer clothes. Fortunately, the war is no longer so urgent. These two Army Groups have time to replenish millions of German troops. However, the speed of supply of weapons and ammunition will be much delayed. If these two Army Groups want to launch the Kursk Battle, it will take at least one and a half months to replenish it, but will Stalin give them time to replenish it calmly? The answer is absolutely no.
But to fight such a large-scale decisive battle, both sides must do a lot of preparations, and the same is true for the Soviet Union.
Li Mo also tried to convince Hitler not to launch a strategic decisive battle in winter, but Hitler told Li Mo:
"My Marshal Li Mo, according to reliable intelligence, the United States is not only vigorously developing new weapons, but also has begun to mobilize and transport soldiers to Britain in full. Their assembly time is about 3 months. I think Britain and the United States want to land in France and then attack us on both sides with the Soviet Union. If we are strangling with the Soviet Union in the snow and ice, and dragging a large number of our troops to the Soviet Union, how can we protect Germany? How can we protect our industrial production? So I have to launch a strategic decisive battle in the harsh winter. After we finish cleaning up Stalin, we can calmly deal with the landing battle between Britain and the United States."
At this time in Berlin, spies from various countries became active, and spy wars were staged all the time. The upcoming "Kursk Battle" is a concern for all countries. It can be said that battlefield battles are directly related to the situation in the world in the next century.
Of course, Britain and the United States would not sit idly by and began to support the Soviet Union with all their strength. Countless materials, weapons and ammunition were continuously transported to the Soviet Union. This was just one hand of Britain and the United States, and the other hand was already holding a knife and preparing to stab Hitler's chrysanthemum.
Another hand is that the United States began to implement the Atlantic Charter, constantly transporting soldiers to Britain, preparing to land in France when the Soviet Union was exhausted in Kursk, and attacked Germany on both sides. The situation between Germany and the EU was indeed not very good, and it was very dangerous. If you were not careful, you would lose all the game.
Spy from various countries tried every means to find confidential documents from Germany, and the secret war in Berlin also quietly began.
**fu got up and washed up as usual. Last night, **fu received an order from his superiors, urging him to get the latest German weapons information and the Kursk battle plan as soon as possible. The British and ** Intelligence Agency already knew that Li Mo had also secretly produced several secret weapons, which were now secretly stored by Li Mo and were not equipped with troops. The UK urgently needed to know what secret weapons Li Mo had made. Even if there was no technical information, at least he knew what these weapons were for and how powerful they were. Otherwise, when the British and American coalition forces would only be beaten when the war between Britain, the United States and Germany started in full swing.
Britain and the United States actually knew that Li Mo was secretly developing and producing secret weapons, of course, V1 and V2, RPG rocket launchers, and "helicopters", and the "tornado rocket launcher". The problem is that these weapons are under the leadership of Li Mo, and the security guards are doing very tightly. How did this information leak? It seems that Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are also hiding in the highest level of Germany, and the confidentiality that this person can access is very high.
Fortunately, in order to keep it confidential, Li Mo did not submit the technical information to the German Ministry of Science and Technology, and did not even send the backup. In this case, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union actually spyed on Li Mo's secretly producing weapons. This spy hidden in the German senior management is very capable and must have a large position. Of course, Li Mo did not know that his secretly developed and produced weapons had been leaked.
**fu is still very confident in himself, because **fu feels that he has opened the heart of Li Mo's secretary Marina. The girl's eyes have told him that Marina has moved to him, and **fu has the confidence to capture Marina's heart in a short time.
