Chapter 1105: Blood and Snow in Moscow (12)
"But now, apart from him, we really can't find a better candidate for leadership and training this tactic." Although Lundstey also disliked Scholzne, as a soldier, he was willing to bear the facts.
The fact is that among the entire German Wehrmacht, only Skorzne is most familiar with this tactic. It is understandable that Skorzne's achievements in the battle against Moscow were extremely impressive.
The special commando he led suffered the least losses in battle and achieved the best record. The commando snipers he led even achieved a record of killing nearly 100 Allied troops.
Even Bock had to admit that the commandos led by Scholzne are now one of the backbones of the German army in Moscow. Unfortunately, their tactical methods are unacceptable to traditional German generals.
As Fan Dehui and others analyzed, the German army would receive extremely traditional Prussian military education in the future, namely: mechanized raids, siege and annihilation operations of large military groups.
This combat method has also achieved great success in reality. The destruction of France and the collapse of Britain are all due to the combat method of this large-scale military group of German troops.
But as Fan Dehui and others proposed, this combat method will have good results in dealing with field battles between the large military groups on both sides.
Once you enter a special combat area, the shortcomings of this combat method will be fully revealed.
This time, the Allied forces were in Moscow and taught the Germans a good lesson. The mechanized combat of large corps is extremely unsuitable in urban warfare.
In such a combat area, it is more reliant on combat with complete small groups. This sudden change in combat methods made the German army at a loss.
This is completely different from the training they have experienced. What is even more terrifying is that the German military once achieved extremely brilliant results by using large groups to fight.
This made their thinking fixed by their past experience. No one could react to how to cooperate and fight in this combat environment.
All the troops were in chaos in Moscow. If the German firepower and fighter jets had not taken advantage of the situation, their losses would have exceeded that of the Allies.
"At present, we do not have a better feasible plan. The plan proposed by the Commander is the most suitable for us at present..."
Lundstey smiled bitterly and said, "Even if we are unwilling to admit it, we have to admit that we have spent too much manpower and material resources in Moscow and suffered too much loss. If we continue to lose like this, Germany will be unable to cope with the next war..."
Loeb, Bock and other German leaders in Moscow were all in silence when they heard this. What Lundstein said was an irrefutable fact, and the losses of the German army were too great.
If we continue to fight in Moscow like this, even if we win the Battle of Moscow, the German army will not be able to cope with the counterattack of the US and Chinese Defense Forces in the future.
It is conceivable what the outcome of the war will be.
"Leave this report to Skolzne, we can listen to his opinion before making a decision." Bock thought for a long time before making a compromise decision.
In the eyes of an old-fashioned Prussian soldier like him, this kind of combat method is a way that completely violates the military's combat will. In fact, it is not just him. There are not many generals in the entire German Wehrmacht who accept this kind of combat method.
In their opinion, this was just another strange thing created by a head of state on a whim. These German generals were no longer surprised by the head of state's frequent sudden thoughts.
Aren't the former stormtroopers and SSs all special products of this head of state? So, even if the head of state suddenly created some strange troops that day, the generals of the German Wehrmacht would turn a blind eye.
If it weren't for the damn stormtroopers' whimsical annexation of the National Defense Forces, perhaps these generals of the National Defense Forces would regard these "game troops" as their reserves.
After a little gossip, Scholzne quickly received an order from Berlin. After seeing this order, the colonel who had been in China was relieved.
Fortunately, there are still people in Berlin who understand. At least after suffering losses, some people still know how to analyze the Allied forces' combat methods and propose a solution.
"This is not a plan made by the commander. To be precise, this is the masterpiece of His Majesty Emperor William." The order was handed over to officer Junker, who was Skolzne, and looked at Skolzne solemnly.
"But to the outside world, we hope you can explain that this plan was made by the head of state. After all, the leader of Germany is our head of state now, and His Majesty does not want any situation to affect the authority of the head of state."
Skolzne nodded and said that he understood, but in fact he had no idea what he would say.
Subsequently, Skoerzne said that the special combat commando led by Skoerzne, which had been expanded to two hundred men, was all gathered. Skoerzne read out the order in front of them.
"We are the SS and the German soldiers led by the Head of State. The training we have undergone is something that other troops have never experienced. Our equipment is also the best in Germany in the whole of this!"
Skolzne looked at his team members and said, "Although the generals of the National Defense Forces turned a blind eye to our achievements, the Head of State was wise. He did not hide our achievements. Now! It is time for us to stand on the front desk, and we need to tell the world with our actions!"
"Our existence will be his lingering nightmare!"
"Hi! Hitler!!" The commandos of Scholzne raised their hands with great excitement and performed the Nazi ritual. What they had experienced during this period was unimaginable.
Many times, they are forced to fight against allies that are several times their own. They are always threatened by Allied snipers.
From the invasion of Moscow to the present, the commando team has dropped from nearly 300 to 200 at once. The other team members have all died in Moscow.
Their achievements were that the Allies suffered several times more casualties than their own. They even forced the Allies to choose to dispatch a large number of units to try to annihilate them.
But they still withdrew, and Skorzne's iconic scarface was completely remembered by the Allies. And because of Skorzne's extremely outstanding record, he finally won him the title of "the No. 1 Evil Man in Europe".
"Now, I will start assigning combat missions!" Scholzne opened up the combat strategy he and his staff had decided, and said to the commandos below.
"Our mission this time is not to directly participate in the battle. Instead, we will train other troops entering Moscow to carry out urbanization operations. You will be assigned to the front-line troops below to directly guide them in the battle..."
On October 23, Trotsky and other Allied commanders suddenly discovered a strange situation. On this day, all German troops seemed to have been on vacation.
They did not raid on the Allied positions as usual, nor did they attack the Allied areas occupied. If it weren't for the Allied's attempt to attack the German positions, even Trotsky and others would have suspected that these Germans had withdrawn.
"The Germans' abnormality is not good news..." Tukhachevsky said to Eisenhower and others worriedly: "If they stop temporarily, then they will definitely launch a larger attack next..."
"Even if we know this is the case, we have no choice..." Montgomery's face was also very bad. The British army lacked experience in urban warfare, and they suffered a lot of casualties during this period.
Fortunately, the British snipers were pretty good, at least they saved some face for the British army who suffered heavy losses.
"No matter what they do, we can only wait now. At night, send some troops to the Germans to test it. If it is daytime, don't take any action for the time being..."
Trotsky's decision was very simple and he would remain unchanged.
"Aren't the Germans on vacation? Then let them continue to take vacation. I will ask Zhukov to send the materials in as soon as possible. At the same time, send all the wounded..."
Trotsky looked at Eisenhower and others and said, "I think this matter is the most important thing now. We must first constantly enhance our combat effectiveness and ensure that the materials are sufficient to support our combat."
"As for what the Germans do, we have no way of knowing what they are planning. So instead of spending time on this, it is better to follow our plan to carry out our strategy."
The rest of the Allied generals nodded in agreement. Patton had been sitting in the command center without saying a word. His armored troops had not fought since Moscow entered the defensive state.
Trotsky and Eisenhower regarded Patton's armored forces as the final reserve. If the war came to an end, Patton needed to use his tank troops to break a bloody road for the Allies.
Therefore, no matter how difficult the war is, Patton's armored forces remain silent. This is a consensus reached by the Allied senior leaders. It is also an order given to Patton by Washington.
If the battle is really defeated, Patton needs to rescue the remaining Allies. At least there must be enough veterans to maintain the Soviet Union's defensive capabilities.
At this time, some ruins and broken walls similar to fierce battles between the two sides in the city were suddenly built outside Moscow City. Groups of German officers frequently entered and exited here.
They were like privates, holding various weapons and constantly shuttled through these ruins and buildings. Scholzine brought a large number of commandos to conduct combat simulation training.
Their time is very tight, and now they are just temporarily letting the troops enter the rest and waiting for Berlin to provide them with enough urban warfare weapons and equipment.
Once the weapons and equipment arrive, the German army will launch another battle against Moscow. At that time, the two sides will have a real endless battle.
"Don't charge! Don't expose yourself in the open area! Are you idiots?! I said that coordination is extremely important in small combat troops! You need to take care of your comrades around you. First of all, what you need to clean up is the commanding heights around you..."
Scholz kept guiding the German officers in the ruins, correcting their mistakes in training bit by bit.
"Sniper, your mission is to provide support to your comrades at a high place. Keep an eye on those areas where enemies may appear, and give your comrades a warning in time..."
The German army's training was underway, and the report of their training began to be submitted to the hands of the tiger.
In the imperial capital, in the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, Fan Dehui excitedly held the training and combat reports that were constantly coming and studied them carefully. The staff members of the entire combat research room also acted the same as Fan Dehui.
They proposed this plan, so they are extremely concerned about the implementation of this plan.
"Well... it seems that this Colonel Scholzne really has two tricks. The Germans will be able to get into the state quickly in his way. Especially this simulated training combat and battle is very useful for getting these practical veterans into the state..."
Fan Dehui exclaimed: "These German officers do not know how to fight. They just lack this consciousness. This consciousness is extremely important. As long as they can develop such a sense of combat, the Allies will be in trouble!"
"Hahaha... I said Lao Fan, how much do you hate the Allies?! The calculations are all calculated to the core. If they know, they might try to peel off your skin and bones..." Zeng Cong, deputy director of the Operations Research Office of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, is one of the few people who know very well about this plan.
The news that others received was simply that Scholzne had stayed in the National Defense Forces and was familiar with the methods of special operations, and now because of the defeat of the Battle of Moscow. The Colonel Scholzne was reused and was trying to train the Germans to accept town combat.
"Hmph! In my opinion, there is no good thing for the white-skinned pigs. When did these turtle calfs be kind to us?!" Fan Dehui sneered: "The more they die, the better. I wish they all died in Moscow. In this way, those miscellaneous things will be missing..."
Fan Dehui's attitude actually represents the attitude of the generals and colludes of the National Defense Forces towards other Allied forces. It has to be said that the concepts implanted by Tu Mengben in the National Defense Forces were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Only when the interests of the country and the interests of the nation are in the eyes and hearts of these soldiers, will they be superior to everything. All this is subtly reflected in almost all their behavior patterns.
They have never forgotten the evils that the white people have done on China's land. However, now is not the time to pay back these blood debts. Moreover, it is not a good idea to establish enemies all over the world at this time.
But under conditions, they were extremely happy to fight the Allies.
"I said, Lao Fan, do you think we should remind the Americans and the Russians?!" Zeng Cong touched his chin and said with a chuckling: "If they really make them all sinister, it will not be good news for us."
"There are not many Allied troops in Moscow now. Zhukov's 80,000 people outside Moscow City have now entered more than 10,000. But this is not a big deal. If Skorzne really beats them, it will be more than worth the loss..."
Zeng Cong's words made Fan Dehui silent, and he had not considered this issue before. Indeed, if the German army really crippled the Allies with the help of their offensive plan, it would not be good news for the National Defense Forces.
Only when the Allies and the Germans were both defeated, this is the best news for the National Defense Forces.
"Let's make a report and leave it to Chief of Staff Su..." Fan Dehui was also a little confused, and thought for a while and said to Zeng Cong: "What you said makes sense, we have to remind you at least..."
"Otherwise, the Allies really asked Scolzne to beat him up and beat him up, which would be really not good news for us..."
Su Zongzhe reacted quickly after receiving the report. He sent the report to the Moscow without hesitation. Lei Daxiang took the report and submitted it directly to the Allied Operations Command.
After Trotsky and others received the report, they immediately held an emergency combat meeting. At the same time, Lei Daxiang was invited to join the meeting to provide specific information and references to combat plans.
"Before, based on the several combat records provided by the Soviet army, I guessed that the German army had a unit that was good at fighting in town terrain. Unfortunately, we didn't have the chance to fight with them..."
Lei Daxiang straightened his back in front of Trotsky and others, and said solemnly: "I believe that generals have heard of this army. We have reported before. The German army formed a special commando. I have reason to suspect that the unit that caused great damage to the Allies in the city was them..."
"Col. Lei, do you mean that this combat unit is no longer responsible for the escort of train guns and is responsible for entering Moscow?!" Patton frowned and said, "If this is the case, aren't they worried about the safety of their train guns?!"
Lei Daxiang smiled bitterly, this is like a mountain. Patton is indeed a powerful general in the battle formation and a powerful general in armored combat. But he knew very little about the raids of small groups of troops.
"General Patton, our small group of troops also need prerequisites to raid. Without prerequisites, we go directly to carry out the mission, which is no different from sending death."
Lei Daxiang looked at everyone present and said, "The situation in Moscow now cannot tolerate this kind of infiltration battle. The situation here is too complicated, and the enemy and us are mixed together. Any movement of ours may be discovered..."
"Under this situation, the risk of carrying out small-scale raids is too great..."
Patton nodded to show his understanding that the commander of the German commando should have seen the current situation and joined the battle in the city with confidence.
