Chapter 351 One step ahead, one step ahead(1/3)
There are always foreign politicians who believe that China has become a world economic power because its population is as large as locusts. If a war really breaks out, yellow people cannot be the opponent of white people. The Soviet Union's defeat in 1920,
And Italy's defeat in Ethiopia are just two exceptions.
This kind of remarks does not lack markets in European and American countries, and many politicians and racists will say this.
Believe in the fact that racists were the mainstream of the world in the 1940s, and broadly speaking, the United States was still under racist rule until the 1970s.
During this period, the Chinese Empire wanted to rise to become a real world hegemon, and there was still a lot to do. It might be a good way to defeat the white people whom they think they can fight the most.
Of course, this doesn't make much sense, as long as they want to commit racial discrimination, racial discrimination will be everywhere.
Therefore, the only good way is to truly rule the world, whether it is economic, military, or otherwise, like the Whip of God, to put the entire world under the rule of the Chinese Empire.
This is the best result.
The Chinese may lack the special and strict discipline of the German nation, but the Chinese have the spirit of dedication and hard work that other nations do not have.
The Chinese are brave.
The Chinese also have a strong desire for victory.
Both China and Germany were transferring all resources to the battlefield of the Volga Battle as much as possible. The Chinese Empire had more obvious advantages, more troops and materials were dispatched, and more tactics and equipment were stronger.
Volgograd, which has been through wars for a long time, has long become a devil's city, with broken arms and ruins, and the heavy and solid steel tanks crushed the ruins of the city, making strange noises, and soldiers of the 14th Armored Infantry Division followed.
Tanks and infantry armored vehicles continued to advance among the ruins, and the snipers of the two armies were maneuvering everywhere in the ruins of the city. From time to time, cold gunfire sounded, or bursts of machine gun fire bursts.
Under different situations of tactical training and equipment, the combat methods of the two armies are also obvious. German infantry usually uses the general machine gun MG34 as the main firepower point to build simple machine gun barricades to seize high points and important control points, while the Empire
Infantry relies mainly on the special new weapon, such as a bazooka, at the first level of the company.
In tactical training, the difference between the two sides is here, focusing on different advantageous weapons to attack and defend. In training, the imperial infantry always requires the advancement of tanks and armored vehicles. Although the Empire also has TG35\40 type general machine gun similar to MG34,
In actual tactical offense, it relies more on the 12mm caliber M20 heavy machine gun on infantry fighting vehicles to play the main counterattack firepower. Infantry needs to use rocket launchers\grenade guns\impulse
The cannon method quickly eliminates the opponent's firepower points.
The first level of the squad is mainly matched with a gun-mounted 30mm grenade launcher, with an effective range of 300M. This is the most important attack firepower of the Imperial Army at the first level of the squad. It is in conjunction with the more powerful M35 assault rifle, but in the squad.
In the first level, the Imperial Army has matched the HT33 45mm bazooka and 60mm mortar, which can effectively launch a three-dimensional positional attack.
In the large mechanized lightning warfare, the German Nazi overemphasized the core position of tanks. For speed and maneuver, the firepower of infantry in squad and platoon levels was reduced. Although the grenades of German soldiers in squad level were light, they were completely
It cannot compete with more accurate grenade launchers. At the platoon level, relying solely on the fire interception capability of the M34 general machine gun, it cannot effectively fight against the three-dimensional attacks built by the Imperial Army in the platoon level units, especially in the face of the M20 level.
When it comes to machine guns, the caliber of a general-purpose machine gun still cannot guarantee sufficient counterattack power.
The two sides have started a two-week tug-of-war in Volgograd, and the result is that the German army is constantly being pushed out of the city, with more serious casualties. Although the German 30mm caliber anti-tank gun is light, it is usually difficult to operate at 400M in terms of combat effectiveness.
It can effectively attack the MBT series tanks within the 750M range to effectively attack the Imperial Army's MBV infantry fighting vehicles.
The length of modern military equipment is always mutually restricted. The M20 heavy machine guns equipped with the MBV2\3 series infantry fighting vehicles have extremely strong anti-infantry artillery and infantry machine gun strongholds within a range of 1300M, in order to effectively
In an attack in urban street fighting, the Imperial Army improved the front-line engineering tank based on the MBT35 tank, installed heavier power engines and huge bulldozing devices, or pressure mine demining devices, which can effectively clear the battlefield and make the tanks
The armored vehicles can advance quickly, while the trained soldiers are more dispersed during the advancement process. Through the coordinated combat of infantry, they effectively restrain the enemy's defending and counterattack.
The German army retained a large number of tanks in the battlefield for street combat. This tactic avoided the defects of the No. 4 tank compared with the MBT35\40 tank. However, under the premise of abandoning large-scale maneuvering operations, the No. 4 tank could pose a threat to the Imperial Army.
It also significantly reduced.
The two sides are constantly involved in tactical environments, constantly attacking and fighting over and over again. In general, the Imperial Army still occupies a relatively obvious advantage. General Wei Lihuang tried to use the helicopter to join the street battle as soon as possible, but the effect was not good.
Continuing to use helicopter formations and bypass the enemy's artillery positions and supply lines to carry out surprise attacks on the enemy's artillery positions and supply lines is still of great combat value to the German army. It has provided great technological improvements in the German industrial department and developed a tactic that can effectively restrain this.
Before the armored vehicles, at least in the Battle of Volgograd, the German army had no solution to the armed helicopter formation of the Imperial Army Aviation Regiment.
In order to restrain the advance of the Imperial Army, the Nazi German army also began to mobilize missiles to fight back, but the defects in effective range and accuracy made the German missile troops not enough to threaten the important military units of the Empire, and the Imperial Air Force can also pass
The way fighter jets intercept missiles effectively prevent the German missile forces from playing a role.
On the British battlefield during World War II, Britain used meteor fighter jets to intercept Germany's cruise missiles in large quantities. It can be seen that Germany's cruise missiles have many serious shortcomings in overload maneuver and speed. In fact, the speed of its cruise missiles is far inferior to that of jets.
type fighter.
The tug-of-war between the Chinese and German armies in Volgograd has lasted for two weeks. The main forces of the German Central Army Group were seriously injured, and the strongholds and defense lines they maintained in the city have basically been cleared.
On October 14, 1941, the Second Armored Corps led by Lieutenant General Su Bin suddenly penetrated into Kharkov, Ukraine, the hinterland behind enemy lines. The Polish Kharkov front army stationed in this area collapsed without fighting, and a large army of 370,000 people were
They were shattered overnight, and about half of the army officers and soldiers were captured.
Su Bin's advance was not fast, but he used a lot of time to disguise tactics to make an annihilation of the German army in the North Caucasus and attack the defense line on the south side of the German Central Army Group. After confusing the enemy, he suddenly bypassed the German army.
The defense line was used to insert more than 100 kilometers of defense gap between the two German armies into Ukraine. The unexpected Polish army was not ready for combat at all and was defeated almost immediately.
This situation surprised Nazi Germany and Poland. Once Su Bin's Second Armored Legion defeated the main forces in Ukraine and Ukraine was lost, the main forces of the two major German armies would be blocked on the Russian battlefield and could not retreat south.
.
The German Northern Army Group, which was seeking emergency reinforcements to the Central Army Group, rushed south. The Imperial Northwest Army also sent the main army group to form the First Armored Corps to attack Tambov and carry out a restraining attack on the Northern Army Group.
Due to the sudden insertion of Su Bin's Second Armored Corps, the entire Russian battlefield became messy. The two Nazi Germany's army groups on the Russian battlefield were cut into a defense line of more than 300 kilometers wide, and they could not effectively support each other.
The Central Army Group on the North Caucasus and the west bank of the Volga River has also suffered heavy losses and lost many main forces. Only Heinz Guderian's second armored cluster can maintain the undamaged main force and still have strong combat power.
.
At this time, Wei Lihuang, who failed to try to encircle and annihilate the 2nd Nazi armored cluster several times, had made up his mind to form the 14th and 15th Army and the two newly arrived armored armies into a new Third Armored Corps, mobilizing more than 13,000.
The armored and tank troops encircled and annihilated the second armored cluster with twice the strength of the opponent, and must completely annihilate the reorganized Nazi Central Army Group on the Russian battlefield.
This is how war is. If you want to win, there are only two ways. One is to implement your own tactics and achieve your goals; the other is to disrupt the enemy's tactics.
Su Bin's sudden insertion was effective in disrupting the German army's tactics, leaving the Nazi German army completely in various chaos, and the original combat plan was completely scrapped. Before the German General Staff issued a new combat plan, use this gap to
The German army effectively divided and encircled and annihilated, so that they were annihilated one by one in a situation of fighting each other.
Now is the best time to annihilate the second armored cluster of the German ace. All operations of the Northwest Army are carried out around this. Su Bin's First Armored Corps heads south to Kiev, restraining the main force of the German Northern Army Group and the Polish Front, Xue Yue's
An armored legion was responsible for attacking the German army head-on, cutting the Central Army Group into three sections, and cooperating with the Third Armored Legion and multiple mechanized infantry legion to annihilate the Second Armored Cluster in the Mikhailovka region.
On October 17, 1941, the Northwest Army basically won the victory of the Battle of Volgograd and severely damaged the German Central Army Group, Crown Prince Yuhua arrived on a special plane to inspect commanders and soldiers at all levels.
Compared with the increasingly older Emperor of Song, the crown prince of Yuhua, who had just arrived in his thirties, was obviously younger and more energetic. With his father's reputation, he also had extremely high support in the country and was deeply loved by the military and civilians.
To a certain extent, the Crown Prince Yuhua is more dove-like, rather than hawkish like the emperor.
The Crown Prince Yuhua refused to use war to solve the problem from the bottom of his heart, but he also knew that the problems of Nazi Germany could only be solved by war. Even though he had received good military education and held important positions in the Central Military Department, the Crown Prince Yuhua still lacked
Understanding and cognition of modern warfare.
Until he arrived at the front line.
The front line of Volgograd is completely different from what he imagined. The wide river divides the city into two parts. The suburbs on the east coast can still preserve some gray cement buildings and factories, while the urban area on the west coast has become a real ruin.
, countless factories of the past have long collapsed.
Once upon a time, in the moment of the former Soviet Union, was this place called Stalingrad such a prosperous and prosperous place?
Countless refugees gathered in refugee camps on the east coast, and according to the requirements of the Military Refugee Administration, they were engaged in some labor within their capacity in exchange for some food income. Other refugees who were idle had to receive extremely pitiful relief food.
The Crown Prince Yuhua really wants to say something for these Russian refugees, so that the Northwest Army can give more efforts and attention to them, and ensure the survival of these refugees, but he can't speak, so it's not easy to win this battle. The army
There is not much effort to take care of the refugees.
The crown prince Yuhua is not very tall, and he seems to be a little shorter than his father. He has shown some signs of gaining weight in recent years, but he is still very handsome. Moreover, he is not a very majestic person like his father, and he looks approachable.
It's easy to speak in a harmonious way.
Simply put, he is actually a very kind person, but sometimes he has to endure the kindness in his heart.
After arriving at the front line, the Crown Prince Yuhua personally went to the front line to inspect the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line, shook hands and talked with them, and also had a meal with the officers and soldiers on the front line. At this stage, the empire has two princes serving on the front line, even if they are not on the Russian battlefield, the royal family
Support for the Imperial War can also be said to be comprehensive.
The crown prince Yuhua spent a whole day inspecting and condolences on the front line, bringing hundreds of tons of canned bacon to the soldiers. It was not until the evening that he had the opportunity to calm down and meet with Wei Lihuang, who was actually responsible for commanding the battle.
.
General Wei Lihuang is a middle-aged general who stood out in recent years. Previously, Crown Prince Yuhua and this general were not only unfamiliar with each other, but were even meeting each other for the first time.
After meeting the Crown Prince Yuhua, General Wei Lihuang led more than a dozen staff officers and front-line commanders to bow and salute together. Crown Prince Yuhua asked them to stand up peacefully, thanking them for their hard work and bloody battles on the front line.
, and then invited them to have a meal together.
The Imperial Wehrmacht has laid the iron law of equal treatment for officers and soldiers since its founding. Although it has not been so strict in the past few years, compared with the armies of other countries, the situation is always much better, and the materials on the front line are also relatively tight.
It is rare that the crown prince inspected today, and General Wei Lihuang and others also enjoyed a high-standard state banquet.
It should be said that this was a banquet granted by the emperor, so the Crown Prince Yuhua came to host the celebration banquet and wished them a better record in the future.
Because the military situation on the front line is still in a very urgent state, the generals and officials attending the banquet this time were not very complete, and everyone's time was urgent. The entire state banquet ended in only half an hour.
After the Crown Prince Yuhua personally sent them out of the banquet hall, he still kept General Wei Lihuang alone. He asked with General Wei Lihuang: "General Wei, how long do you think our army will take to destroy the German army on the Russian battlefield?"
General Wei Lihuang was a little surprised. He felt that this question should not be answered by him, but the person who was considering asking was His Royal Highness, so he answered very carefully: "Theoretically, the Russian battlefield can be brought to an end of this year.
The main German army was eliminated, but there are still many variables here. I expect Germany will strengthen the transfer of troops from other servant countries to support the Ukrainian region and restrain our main forces, so many things are difficult to explain clearly, but it is expected to be in May next year.
Previously, unless Germany continues to expand its main force reinforcements, it will completely give a sentence to the Russian war. The Imperial Wehrmacht will also successfully advance Ukraine and Poland, threatening Germany's mainland, but the combat effectiveness of the Polish army cannot be underestimated.
Yes, maybe in Poland you will still encounter very tenacious resistance.”
The Crown Prince Yuhua agreed: "Yes, your consideration is very thorough, and I also agree with your point of view."
