Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The empire's war usually has two command headquarters, one is the frontline headquarters, and the other is the staff operations department of the Central Military Department. The staff operations department is the core organization of the general staff. With the systematic formation of the Central Defense Commission, the empire  The four-overall mechanism of the General Staff Department, the General Armament Department, the General Logistics Department, and the General Political and Educational Department was also developed. This four-overall system weakened the unique characteristics of the General Staff Department in the past. However, the General Staff Department is still  The first of the four headquarters, its two most important core organizations are the Staff Operations Department and the Central Military Intelligence Department.

    Strategic decisions are made by the Central Military Commission, but the frontline command is responsible for the specific fight. The frontline command must also provide real-time feedback on all dynamic intelligence and data on the frontline every day.

    The empire¡¯s general offensive on the Russian battlefield was fully launched ahead of the German army¡¯s plan. As the war situation continued to develop, the Central Staff Operations Department also continued to collect new information, produce a complete military flag map, and conduct a comprehensive strategic analysis.

    Emperor Song Biao has spent most of his recent time in the Staff Operations Department, personally checking all intelligence feedback and sorting out omissions. The war with Germany means that the future destiny of the empire is determined by this, even if Emperor Song Biao has some influence on the Imperial Defense Forces.  Absolute trust requires us to be more cautious in commanding every battle.

    Similarly, as the most outstanding military strategist in this era, after the various data fed back from the front line reached Emperor Song Biao, even if he did not need to make a clear picture of the military flag, Emperor Song Biao was still very interested in what the situation was like on the battlefield.  .

    ??Whether it is a classical war or a modern war.  In modern warfare, the skill of a general is the most precious asset. Zhao Tingzhu, who has commanded many large-scale cross-river battles, has a very special skill advantage in this Volga battle, and the various preparations he has made  It also fully proves this point.

    General Zhao Tingzhu prepared a variety of means of crossing the river. In order to cover the attack, he also deployed enough air force and artillery units to maintain suppression of the enemy's artillery units and coastal defense bunkers.

    He mainly used bridge ferries and boat ferries, and at the same time used airborne divisions to drop directly behind enemy lines to intercept and destroy rear areas. Large-caliber cannons and tank destroyers could effectively deal with German shore defense bunkers.  The tank destroyer itself is a medium tank equipped with a large-caliber cannon.  In addition to being used to attack heavy tanks, it is better used to attack fortifications. It has a larger caliber and power than a main battle tank.

    Although the final result is not yet available, it will be in early July.  Emperor Song Biao had already roughly clarified the total scale of this attack.  and various deployment situations.  From the perspective of a military commander like Emperor Song Biao who was basically an outsider, he believed that it would be difficult for the German army to stop the imperial attack during the offensive in Kazan on the northern front, even though the German army at this time had the Nazi Army Group Northern on the Kazan line of defense.  support.

    Because shortly after the official war started.  The Nazi German army almost lost its entire eastern air force. The positions lacked air force cover and had to withstand large-scale attacks and bombings by the air force. The first round of the Kazan Offensive launched by the Northwest Allied Forces was indeed full of elites. Starting at 7 a.m.  The attack was launched at 3 p.m., and by 3 p.m., the Northwest Allied Forces had broken through the German northern defense line on the Volga River, broke through from Kazan, and occupied the German positions. The First Railway Engineering Brigade and the Second Engineering Brigade launched large-scale temporary operations on the spot.  The construction of the railway bridge was an attempt to restore the railway lines previously destroyed by Nazi Germany.

    The large number of rocket artillery units and air force bombing units provided the empire's northwest coalition with a deeper attack capability. Artillery shells were released like heavy rain, all the way to the rear of the German second-line positions.

    The entire Volga River was filled with smoke and war roared.

    Hundreds of thousands of artillery shells continued to bombard the German fortification lines intensively like rain. In this chaotic position, it was difficult for the tanks of this period, especially the medium and heavy tanks, to exert effective mobility, and even  It is also difficult for light-weight armored infantry fighting vehicles to move forward effectively. They can only rely on the bravery and fearlessness of soldiers to move forward.

    War is like this. At the most tragic moment, it is inevitable that bayonets and bullets will still be used to determine the final winner.

    The German army mainly relied on lighter anti-tank guns and 30mm caliber light infantry guns, as well as conventional mortars and machine guns to provide heavy firepower strikes, while the Empire used a similar combat method, tongguo radio to indicate coordinates, and request the Air Force's attack fleet  To carry out ground strikes, this time in the Battle of Kazan, the empire also used propeller-powered first-generation armed helicopters for the first time. The main means of attack on the battlefield were aviation cannons and rockets, although this type was called "Snow"  The armor and speed of the "Owl" armed helicopter are very low, and it lacks effective attack on armored vehicles and tanks. However, its special flight flexibility allows a large number of helicopters to bypass the enemy's rear, mainly attacking enemy trucks and artillery positions.  Task.

    Even on the frontline battlefieldIn addition, the Snow Owl helicopter can also add a new link to the Empire's frontal offensive system, making the Empire's offense more three-dimensional. Compared with the anti-tank guns and light infantry guns that the German army is more equipped with, the Empire is generally equipped with individual rocket launchers and  Large-caliber mortars, and a 25mm machine gun with a very high rate of fire.

    The basic equipment of the Chinese and German militaries is actually basically the same, whether it is tanks, armored vehicles, machine guns, anti-tank guns, mortars, general-purpose machine guns, or other grenades, mortars, etc. This is generally because both sides have advanced in military technology.  In-depth cooperation with the military industry, but the performance and combat methods of the two sides on the battlefield are completely different. When large group operations of tanks are difficult to launch in areas such as urban ruins and dense fortress defense lines, the development direction is more balanced and the system construction is more  Perfect, the Imperial Army, which has more fierce firepower at the individual and squad levels, clearly has a greater advantage.

    Coupled with the superiority of the air force, the Nazi German defense line quickly retreated from Hapenabin on the other side of Kazan to Buyinsk, losing 70 kilometers of defense line in one day, facing the Nazi German army that had previously swept across Europe and the former Soviet Union.  , especially for Army Group Center, the most elite Nazi German army, it was simply a great shame.

    Times make heroes.

    Are generals like Zhao Tingzhu, Wei Lihuang, and Xue Yue stronger or weaker than Nazi Marshal Fedor von Bock, Heinz Guderian, Heinrich Vittinghoff, and others?

    This may be a strong thing to say about Qingchu, but in a war, the winner is always king.

    Since I defeated you.  That's why I'm strong.

    This is a simple truth.

    The defeat of the German army began on this day, and in the following week, the armored units and tank brigades of the Imperial Army gradually crossed the Volga River. When the 4th Armored Group of the Nazi Northern Army arrived in Tambov, the Empire's Northwestern Allied Forces concentrated their armor.  The main force of tanks is trying to launch an encirclement and annihilation offensive against the German 3rd Armored Group in the Ulyanovsk area on the West Bank.

    In order to avoid being encircled and annihilated, the German 3rd Armored Group was forced to retreat significantly. Wei Lihuang, who was responsible for commanding the operation, immediately made an immediate decision, changed the original combat plan, and took advantage of the situation to attack Saratov on two fronts.  At the same time as the German army retreated on a large scale.  The empire's northwest coalition then opened up all the main port areas in the upper reaches of the Volga River, forming a larger space for the main force to mobilize. The main force attacked the Central Army Group from top to bottom on two lines.

    Wei Lihuang had no intention of taking down Army Group Central immediately.  Instead, the main force was drawn out.  To meet the reinforcements of Army Group North in Balashov.  A siege came for reinforcements and defeated the reinforcements, and then mobilized the main force to besiege the main force of the Nazi German army trapped in Volgograd.

    MacArthur is a famous general.  Equipment and materials are absolutely dominant, and they are still no match for Marshal Peng on the Korean battlefield. Therefore, the Chinese people do not need to feel inferior. China has never lacked famous generals in any era, not to mention that famous generals have always been determined in one battle since ancient times, and they are not mutually exclusive.  There's a huge difference, and it's more about fate.

    Overview: Many famous generals in World War II, such as Rommel, Guderian, and Montgomery, mostly succeeded in one move. However, most Chinese generals are known for their fickleness and are good at adapting to changes.

    There is no constant way to fight.

    The first lesson of "Classical Military Science" at the Central Military Academy is this question. Military changes are ever-changing. There is no fixed number. The key to victory is to constantly change according to the situation.

    ¡­¡­

    Volgograd.

    Previously, Stalingrad and now Volgograd have become the new focus of the Sino-German war. To the south of Volgograd, Su Bin's 10th Army took the lead in capturing the port city of Astrakhan and made a plan to storm the northern Caucasus.  The situation in the region is that the oil production areas of the former Soviet Union are mainly concentrated in this area. Nazi Germany and the Axis Powers are increasingly dependent on this area. Although Romania can also provide a large amount of oil production capacity, compared with the North Caucasus, it is still  A small witch meets a big witch.

    The initial transfer order of the Tenth Army was to support the Novosibirsk Army in Volgograd, but the best military commanders can always find better combat targets in ever-changing wars. After arriving at Atyrau, the border city between Kazakhstan and the Soviet Union,  Later, Su Bin realized that after the large number of German troops transferred northward and the main army group of the Northern Army was intercepted, the German army's garrison strength in the North Caucasus was seriously insufficient. Once he led the 10th Army to insert into the North Caucasus, the German army would face being attacked from three sides by the Northwest Army.  The dangerous situation of encirclement and annihilation.

    The German army had no better strategy except a large-scale retreat. If the German army was allowed to complete a large-scale retreat, the war would definitely last longer. Su Bin quickly came up with a bold new idea and reported it to the command of the Northwest Army.  Headquarters, in view of his special status, Zhao Tingzhu agreed to Su Bin's risky strategy despite Wei Lihuang's objections.

    Attacking the North Caucasus is not considered a risk. Su Bin¡¯s real intention is to take advantage of the German army.?The emptiness of the garrison forces in the North Caucasus used the large-scale assault capability of two to three armored corps to cross the North Caucasus and directly attack the Polish army in Ukraine. Both diplomatic and military functions forced the Polish garrison to withdraw from Ukraine, causing the northwest  The army cut off the German army's retreat route back to the homeland and forced the German army to evacuate to the Moscow area.

    Once the German army really withdraws into the Moscow area on a large scale, the Imperial Northwestern Army will have every opportunity to completely cut the main force of the German army in two, and finally encircle and annihilate the Nazi Army Group North and Army Group Center crowded in the Moscow area.

    This was a very bold combat plan. The Central Military Commission quickly approved the plan and transferred several new group armies from the original South Asian Allied Forces in Central Asia to form the Second Armored Corps of the Northwest Army with the 10th Group Army.  , Su Bin leapfrogged to serve as the commander of the Second Armored Corps, commanding the troops to break through the North Caucasus.

    ¡­¡­

    In Volgograd, the Chinese and German armies launched a truly large-scale positional battle. Both sides used armored vehicles and tanks as the main forces to launch an unprecedented tank decisive battle on the north bank of Volgograd.

    The Nazi Army Group Center had previously tried to attack the defense line of Volgaski City on the east side occupied by the Northwest Army.  Due to the heavy losses of the air force and aviation units, as well as the large-scale raid on the rear artillery positions by helicopters of the Imperial Army Air Force at low altitude across the river bank, Guderian's main armored group not only failed to cross the river, but was counterattacked by the air force of the Northwest Army.  Successful, with the loss of a large number of tanks and artillery.

    Marshal Fedor von Bock tried to retreat in order to preserve the strength of Army Group Center. However, this self-protection plan was reprimanded and severely opposed by the head of state. Marshal Bock was forced to encircle and annihilate Army Group North in Volgograd.  The Northwestern Army of the Fourth Armored Group fought, trying to defeat the Second, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Armies, the main force of the Northwestern Army. These were the most elite armored armies in the empire.  In particular, the Second Army also added an Army Aviation Brigade with the armed helicopter WZ3 as the main force.

    The Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Group Armies are the most elite main armored group armies of the Northwest Army.  Previously deployed in the Kazan area, after breaking through the Kazan defense line, these three armored armies quickly moved south to encircle and annihilate Erich Hoppner's Fourth Armored Group. The gap in the total number of tanks between the two sides was not very large.  The Panzer IV tank developed based on the MBT30 tank is absolutely no match for the MBT35\35b\40 main battle tank.

    The Panzer IV tank is based on the 75mm tank gun improved from the MBT30.  Compared to the 90mm rifled gun of MBT35\35B and the 90mm smoothbore gun of MBT40.  The gap is too obvious, and the gap in aiming, fire control automation and maneuverability is also too large in actual combat.  Only heavy tanks can compete with MBT series tanks, but the mobility of heavy tanks is too weak and they are easily hit by MBT35\35b armor-breaking shells, and the number is too small.

    Germany must admit that compared to China and the Chinese National Defense Force, which have truly stepped into the level of world hegemony, the gap in equipment between the German army and the Chinese National Defense Force is obvious. If the German army continues to adopt this tactic of over-reliance on mechanical equipment, it will be impossible to compete head-on with the Chinese National Defense Force.  war.

    This is an indisputable fact, and in the Battle of Volgograd, this problem will be exposed even more obviously.

    ¡­¡­

    Every war is complex.

    Marshal Fedor von Bock, who still had the trust of the head of state, continued to be in charge of commanding his Army Group Center. He deployed a large number of fortifications on the battlefield in Volgograd to avoid frontal battles with armored vehicles and to avoid the Northwestern Army's  advantages in armor and tank forces, and take all possible measures to strengthen the artillery's air defense and perimeter defense.

    Such a war situation made Marshal Fedor von Bock feel extremely painful. The rapid destruction of the Fourth Armored Group and the previous consecutive defeats of Army Group Center had made him realize that it is impossible for a student to defeat a teacher.

    The German Army's blitzkrieg theory and equipment system are actually derived from the mechanized revolution theory of the Chinese National Defense Forces. It is just a matter of avoiding discussion within the German army for the so-called national glory. It is now obvious that the mechanization level of the German army is not as good as at all.  Opponents who continue to engage in annihilation wars of armored clusters, mobile warfare, offensive warfare, blitzkriegall cannot be the opponents of the Northwest Army.

    Unable to retreat, Marshal Fedor von Bock went all out and completely gave up the mobility of the tank troops, repaired the fortifications on a large scale, and used most of the tanks for temporary reinforcements around the fortifications.  As a result, the activity space of the German tanks was greatly reduced, and they could only be reduced to mobile turrets on the battlefield defense line.

    Marshal Fedor von Bock used this method of self-abandonment to build a large number of new and very strong defensive positions. He launched an interception against the Northwest Army in the positions around Volgograd, dug trenches, and strengthened air defense to prevent the Northwest Army.  Rapid advance of army armored forces, minesA large number of them are also buried on the battlefield.

    Army Group Center had lost air support at this time, and it would have to wait at least a week for new reinforcements from the Nazi Air Force to arrive. They also lost the support of the Allies. The main force of Army Group North had been wiped out, and they could only continue to defend Moscow.  area, more troops cannot be sent to support Army Group Center.

    War is change and counter-change.

    The Northwest Army soon launched the most violent attack on Marshal Fedor von Bock's Army Group Center, but the effect was not good and the sacrifice was heavy. Faced with this situation, Wei Lihuang immediately convened a meeting of the Staff Operations Bureau  , adjusted the tactics of the Northwest Army, strengthened the air force's cluster bombing and ground troops' infiltration operations, and at the same time deployed more artillery to strengthen shelling.

    The main means of attack is still tanks, which is just one defense and one attack.

    Either we don¡¯t fight the war, or we fight a battle of unprecedented scale. If the bow does not come back even if the arrow is fired, no matter how great the sacrifice is, we must win the final victory.

    The changes in the tactics of both sides brought the Battle of Volgograd back to the period of the Soviet-German War. Large-scale positional battles were repeated during offensive and counterattacks, and the battle became more tragic and cruel.

    Emperor Song Biao has been paying close attention to the changes in the Russian battlefield. Even if hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers die on the front line every day, Emperor Song Biao will not hesitate at all and will never give up this battle. As long as he wins, so will Hitler.  In this way, when the war reaches this level, who can win the final victory between China and Germany depends to a large extent on the determination of the two heads of state.

    No one can retreat.

    Now it is a head-to-head battle between the Chinese Empire and the Nazi Third Reich in terms of overall strength. Whoever has a stronger will to fight and whose national strength is stronger will win the final victory.

    The resolute will to win the final victory at all costs began with Emperor Song Biao and was implemented all the way to the entire army. From October 5 to 17, 1941, the Central Defense Commission held three consecutive Standing Committee meetings and approved the Northwest Army three times.  Increasing requirements, continuously transporting all materials, personnel, and equipment requested by the Northwest Army Headquarters to the theater to meet all their requirements at all costs.

    In addition to the three railways operating at full capacity, in addition to the large amount of war materials hoarded by the Northwest Army in the rear of the northern theater, the Empire's Central Military Department deployed more than 13,000 medium and large transport aircraft, concentrating almost half of the Empire's air transport capacity, and massively increased the number of war materials to the front lines.  Send new troops and transport new weapons, ammunition and other supplies to ensure the operation of frontline troops.

    The empire even took the risk to conduct two-day airdrop of supplies to the Tenth Army and the Eighth Army that were deep in the North Caucasus battlefield, pinning its hopes on this Northwest Second Armored Corps.  (To be continued)
