It takes a little more than a second for a heavy shell to fly to the target at a distance of one kilometer. It can easily tear the front armor plate of Matilda tank and even destroy the entire cockpit, and it can also destroy the engine and fuel tank behind it.
This scene is a bit like a high-speed car hitting a wooden fence and feeling strong. The tank is as fragile and strong as a wooden fence, and the armor plate is shattered by huge energy like a board.
Soon, an English tank was destroyed in the process of moving forward, and the crawler belt was broken due to violent vibration, and all the driving wheels in front flew out. At the moment when the fuel tank was punctured, the tank burst into flames. However, the turret of the tank was lifted from the inside, but the hands could be seen twisting and struggling. It took only two seconds for the owner of these hands to suffer, and the whole tank was blown into a pile of scrap iron because of the huge explosion of ammunition, and the Englishman struggling inside could no longer be found.
"Boom!" Another shell flew out of the cannon barrel, but this time it seems that the British shell flew 15 meters in an instant but didn’t hit the main part of the tank. The shell hit the front side of the tank and flew, with sandbags and shovels hanging on it. After smashing the headlights of the tank, it crashed into the sand dunes next to the tank and splashed a piece of gravel.
The Englishman in Tanqueray was obviously frightened. Their own tank was hit by the loud noise and the vibration of the tank body was really amazing. So these British tank men lifted their hatch cover and jumped out of the tank to run to one side. But then the tank driver was knocked over by the German machine gunner, and the captain and gunner raised their hands to surrender.
This time, a few minutes after the British attack, the battlefield was defeated, leaving more than four tank wrecks. Most of the tanks had been turned into burning scrap iron by the explosion, and several of them were lucky not to be killed.
There was also a tank that was almost completely damaged and was captured, that is, the guy whose headlights were shot off. It was not until the prisoner was interrogated that the captain of the tank was actually the commander of the British armored brigade and a senior official of the school rank.
The Germans didn’t mistreat the British prisoner and invited him to have a breakfast. He took bread and looked at the millimeter cannon that was cleaning the gun bore around him. He didn’t believe that it was such an ugly weapon to beat his troops everywhere.
However, he was silent for a long time when he learned that this weapon was a German anti-aircraft gun, which could penetrate the front armor plate of Matilda tank at a distance of 15 meters. His armored brigade lost almost half of its troops in this battle, and more importantly, the British army did not recapture the highland. The terrible shelling will continue in the future.
"It’s not fair," he finally said. "How can you Germans deal with aircraft weapons and tanks?"
Chapter 57 57 vlasov
Suburb of Warsaw, Poland
Arcado took the train with a fitted leather trench coat and a girdle style, which made the original figure a little thin, and the head of state looked radiant and more tall and straight.
He wears an iron cross on his neckline, but it is an ordinary iron cross without decorations. Anyone who knows the origin of this medal knows that this medal is a second-class iron cross that arcado won by relying on his front-line contributions.
Although in the years to come, arcado’s Ministry of National Defense eventually became the actual successor of sickert and became a general of the National Defence Force, he also won various medals and awards, including an oak leaf knight iron cross, but he wore this old second-class iron cross.
Give the black leather gloves to the side, which is also a black long wind dress. Anna arcado smiled and walked to Taizheng to meet him. The army generals kept coming and going. Long live the Fuhrer’s greetings. There were SS soldiers from martial law Taiwan and dozens of rows of local dignitaries.
"My head of state! Welcome to the wolf’s den. "General Meinster, the German chief of staff, walked up to arcado and raised his right arm." On behalf of Marshal Brauchich, I am here to welcome you. "
"Thank you, the Army’s battle on the Eastern Front is remarkable. The victory in Germany is that the future ahead of us belongs to us and belongs to the German people." arcado smiled and responded by reaching out and posing at will to signal everyone to end the etiquette. He smiled and looked at Meinster, because his eyes swept the dignitaries and generals one by one behind him.
His eyes finally stopped at a person with a long name and he was a Russian. This person was the later famous Andre? Andreyevich? Vlasov, a Soviet general who defected to the Soviet Union, was caught in an attack in Poland and was captured with him, along with almost 10 thousand Soviet Red Army.
When arcado learned that this important person was captured, he immediately made the SS show a counter-attack. Just now, vlasov insisted that the SS execute him. However, after three days of hunger and visiting the German Polish camp, the Soviet general finally chose to compromise.
So Fanny ran the Soviet general and turned into an anti-Communist international, anti-Bolshevik, anti-Soviet and anti-Stalin. On behalf of Russian public opinion, he called on the first Ukrainian regiment to formally set up and recruit Ukrainians to fight against the Soviet Union.
For the Soviet Union, this Andre? Andreyevich? Vlasov is definitely a disaster after the death, and for the Germans, this man is a qualified puppet, an international friend who mobilized Ukraine to become a German soldier, and a perfect witness to Germany’s liberation of Ukraine.
After seeing the strength of Germany and the misery of Russian prisoners of war, this Andre? Andreyevich? Vlasov entered his own role faster than anyone expected, and made frequent appearances in public. German and Ukrainian military actions advocated and propagated that Stalin was an out-and-out tyrant, vowing to make friendship with the Fuhrer and help the Russians get rid of Bolshevik rule with the help of Germany’s powerful military force.
It is said that after his mutiny, Stalin once learned about it, and he broke all the tableware at breakfast, roared and insulted all the relatives in vlasov’s family, and personally ordered all his friends and family to be hanged. However, after thorough investigation, this incident finally ended because there were many students in vlasov, including zhukov, the supreme commander of the Soviet Union in the Eastern Front.
"Andre? Andreyevich? Vlasov! Vlasov! I’ll do anything to kill this damn bastard! " This is a meeting of Stalin, which proves how annoyed and traumatized the renegade general is.
"General vlasov! I’ve heard of your name. Although it’s the first time we met, I admire you for coming out at such a critical moment for the Russian nation to fight for its liberation. "arcado smiled and held out his hand to this Russian who wore German clothes but had no rank and symbol." Maybe you are not used to German gifts, but there is no me to shake hands with. "
"Great head of state arcado? Long live Rudolf! " Without the slightest hesitation, vlasov paid a German salute to attention. He knew that at this time, he could save him or help him return to the peak of his career. He had an anti-Soviet stance and was more loyal to the Fuehrer personally.
The opportunity is once and always given to those who are prepared. Obviously, vlasov’s bet makes people around him very satisfied. Everyone laughs and applauds, and the topic has changed from slightly hot weather to sensitive Ukrainian first regiment.
阿卡多显然心情非常不错他今天是来视察德军东线最高统帅部新地址而这个被称“狼穴”庞大建筑群建于4个月前是一个非常现代化半地建筑群未来有德军东线最高命令都将这里发出而这里也将是阿卡多东线一个类似行宫避暑山庄
他拉着弗拉索夫笑着口问这个来自敌对阵营却纳头便拜将军“听说乌克兰第一团军组建工进展非常顺利辛苦你了将军阁”
实乌克兰方面合一半功劳归功于阿卡多宽民族政策和分而治政治手腕但是更多还要归功于斯大林1933年饥荒时对于乌克兰残酷剥削镇压现这个平原人对苏联怀有深深敌对情绪而这个情绪究竟刻骨到等程度阿卡多是非常清楚
另一个时纳粹德国对于乌克兰残酷掠夺比苏联还要可怕但是这种背景依旧有6万当地人加入到了抵抗苏联纳粹军队中而这一时中阿卡多采了怀柔政策来缓解了乌克兰********可想而知这里人们有多么支持德国人到来
听说乌克兰第一团军报名处人满患有时候还要排起长长队伍制约这个团军扩大规模主要因素来自于德国总参谋部勃劳希契元帅等主要将领对于乌克兰军队不信和部队训练进度武器分发速度
Arcado doesn’t doubt that these Ukrainians have little anti-Soviet sentiment, and the Germans didn’t carry out inhuman colonial plunder. Before that, the locals hated their old club enough to give up their idea of resisting the Germans. So arcado drew up a detailed training plan to train and arm Ukrainian troops according to the standards of the old German army.
"Everything is because of the Fuehrer’s support and Stalin’s sin that I finished it so quickly. Fuehrer, you hope for me." vlasov quickly pushed the credit to arcado. He looked like a famous scholar with a black frame and humility.
However, everyone familiar with others knows that this man is not an academic school, but a famous Soviet tank tactical expert and a fierce wolf. Now, three regiments of the first regiment of Ukraine are strangling guerrillas in Poland. It can be said that his hands are no less bloody than those of German generals. "It’s just a matter of time to affect his performance." This is the comment given by Marshal Blauchich.
Arcado is generous in praise and praise for such an excellent general, and he is willing to give this general who has no turning back enough confidence that he will hold vlasov’s hand and promise to support his great ambition of reviving Ukraine and Russia.
"One day you will command the world’s most powerful armored corps. Trust me, General vlasov," arcado patted the Soviet on the shoulder and said, "I will ask the army to raise equipment and hand it over to you as soon as possible. Three No.3 assault guns will be strengthened and your armored artillery battalion and 45 No.3 tanks will be handed over to you as soon as possible. Soon your troops will be ordered to protect their homes and you will be a great Russian hero!"
Although arcado believed in vlasov, there was a limit to Thaksin. It was impossible for him to support a surrendered general and move a lot of army equipment. His promise was very limited. There were two battalions of heavy weapons and equipment, which made the equipment officers breathe a sigh of relief and made Meinster around arcado a false alarm.
The Fuehrer only promised a small amount of weapons support, and these weapons were not specified, which gave everyone a lot of room for manoeuvre. After all, the German armored forces have always been able to meet the establishment needs, and it is very annoying to give tanks and armored vehicles to the servant army.
According to my conscience, the equipment of vlasov’s troops is not bad. The three main infantry regiments are all equipped with German-sealed Mao Se 9k rifles, and after good training, an armored regiment administers two chariot battalions equipped with nine iron cross-coated 26 tanks. These tanks are expected to be replaced by No.3 in the future, which is very leopard-style, but now they can take 26 as a recharge.
However, on the whole, this unit has a considerable leap forward compared with its predecessor, the Soviet Red Army, because it is pro-German and well-trained. Less vlasov made his own guarantee to arcado and Meinster. "My head of state thanked you for your support. I assure you that this unit can definitely defeat the opponent in the face of the same number of Soviet troops!"
Chapter 579 579 Meinster due to plan.
Let vlasov return to his station. arcado and Meinster, the chief of staff of the National Defence Force, went to the wolf’s den together by bus. A few days ago, Marshal Brauchy was promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Reich Army because of his excellent performance in the Eastern Front War. Meinster has been helping Brauchy to make suggestions. As a result, a rising tide naturally rises, so he was ordered to replace the original position of General Bok as the chief of staff of the new army.
The scenery outside the window goes backwards with the rapid progress of the car. arcado is obviously in a very good mood by taking a convertible. He sees the situation he wants and is full of confidence in the coming war on the Eastern Front.
"Marshal personally went to Kiev to personally inspect the Brovarese defense line. Before he left, the Fuehrer’s itinerary has not yet been fixed, and he can’t meet you." Meinster carefully explained the reason why Marshal Brauchic didn’t stay in Warsaw to meet him, and he was worried about the defense problem in Kiev.
Akado smiled and waved his hand. "General Meinster, I am not a man who pays attention to details. I marshal the front line and win the war to win my respect more than flattery."
"With all due respect, most areas of the defense line of the Dnieper River of my head of state are very strong, and our grenadiers and elite infantry are strong enough to resist the Soviet counterattack." Meinster said to arcado after thinking for a moment, "But there are two serious loopholes in this defense line, one is the Brovare area around Kiev, and the other is the direction of the Crimean Peninsula."
"oh? So is the General Staff of the General Army prepared to avoid these two defects? " Arcado picked his eyebrows is very casual asked.
"The opinion of the General Staff Department is to launch a limited attack to occupy the Crimean Peninsula and destroy the port of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet there to complete the defense line." Meinster really threw out his plan to attack the Crimea, which can shorten the length of the German defense line and seriously interfere with the action of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet. However, there is a very serious problem in front of arcado, that is, he does not have Gustav cannons and Carl mortar guns to attack the fortress of Sevastopol, and he lacks heavy fire support.
Moreover, recently, German high-level officials are discussing the feasibility of Turkey and Italy jointly sending troops to attack Balkan countries. This plan is extremely active in Turkey, and there is a radical plan to send 70 thousand troops to show the powerful military strength of the Turkish army. At this time, if Germany shows weakness in the Balkan issue, it is conceivable that there will be more and more demands from Turkey in the Balkans in the future.
At the same time, the German-Italian Coalition forces in Tobruk have launched a powerful offensive to capture this important military fortress. The African Legion is expanding its strength and is expected to expand into a huge military regiment with three regiments, including Rommel’s L regiment, General Schellner’s K regiment and the Italian garibaldi’s 1st regiment. It is obviously not a wise move to continue to expand the war on the Eastern Front at this moment.
"General, I know what you said is very reasonable, but once we attack the Crimean Peninsula and seize the fortress of Sevastopol, the Soviets who have been forced by us to return to the negotiating table will completely give up the peace talks and intend to continue fighting with us." arcado sighed and looked at the trees growing thick outside the car and said.
"…" Meinster was rejected by arcado for the first time in front of arcado. Now it is conceivable that he kept his mouth shut and waited for arcado to continue to reprimand him.
Meinster is one of the best strategists in the National Defence Force, and he is a rare genius of strategic command. Even his company Brauchic praised him for his performance. In private, he once compared Meinster with schlieffen, the former chief of staff of the Imperial Empire. He told his colleagues to take on the commander of the regiment, General Bok, and said of Meinster, "He reminds me of Alfred. If he continues to be so wise, he will surpass all of us one day."
However, because Meinster knew that his plan of "Swinging the sickle" was inspired by arcado, the head of state, it was precisely because of the successful implementation of this plan that the Germans got rid of the danger of two-front war, and also made Meinster change from a small army commander to a Brauchic deputy.
The subsequent change of the Barbarossa plan was also a behind-the-scenes contribution of the Fuehrer, and there was nothing in Meinster because of human factors. At present, the situation on the eastern front tends to be stable, and the Germans have taken the advantage and reduced the losses to a negligible level. In fact, it is the Fuehrer’s unpredictable strategic vision that foresaw everything.
At present, Meinster is uneasy. He suspects that he has no ability to bear the burden of the German Chief of Staff. He suspects that he is a puppet of the Fuehrer. Therefore, he has worked out a complete attack plan for the fortress of Sevastopol during his sleepless nights for several days. He even consulted the intelligence department himself and collected a lot of information about the German spy on the Klimk fortress group.
However, to his disappointment, arcado still rejected this self-attack plan, which made him suddenly feel disheartened. It seems that the Fuehrer really regarded him as a microphone with no definite opinion and an army staff headquarters should be a worm.
The atmosphere of the car suddenly became awkward. Meinster was silent, and arcado seemed to be thoughtful. Both of them sat in arcado in silence. Anna didn’t talk, but she held arcado’s hand and gently toyed with it.
"I can’t give you much support, and it will be a few months later. We have invested too much in the Balkans and must take it back in the near future. But when the Balkan issue is over, I will give you a regiment so that you can personally solve the Crimean Peninsula." arcado suddenly broke the silence in the car. Obviously, Meinster, who was sitting opposite him, had an impulse to cry because he didn’t expect the conversation to turn around.
He looked at arcado and listened to arcado continue to talk to himself. "There are indeed many supporters in my army, and many supporters are in high positions because of their absolute loyalty to me. Lei Deer, Gaskell, Catherine and Dick all have deep personal relationships with me. guderian and Rommel in the army are also my confidants, but I found you not because I took a fancy to your silence, but because I really felt that seeing you made me shine as much as seeing Rommel and guderian."
"You’re the man I’m looking for. I have a hunch, just as I have a hunch that guderian and Rommel can bring me victory. I think you will also bring me victory. You will be my proudest hand. I have prepared the marshal position for you." arcado took a look at Meinster here because it was obvious that the other party had been frightened by his remarks. Maybe the other party never thought that he would be regarded as a marshal backup candidate by the Fuehrer.
Of course, arcado can’t talk to Meinster because of this. My plans were written by you in a few years. I intend to give you the position of marshal. It is also a few years later that Hitler will definitely give it to you after you fight the Crimea. He will scare Meinster to death or be sent back to Berlin for treatment as a mental illness by Anna.
So he continued to explain the process of discovering Meinster by himself, which made Meinster stunned by frustration. After all, how well the generals are getting along now, he, the chief of staff, knows better.
"My Fuehrer …" Meinster, who is 51 years old this year, felt that tears were coming out of his eyes. He experienced too much in just a few minutes. He almost gave up on himself and prepared to fade out of the military command circle, but because of Fuehrer arcado’s heartfelt words, he decided to fight for arcado’s life.
"Report your plan to attack the Crimean Peninsula to Marshal Brauchich, and prepare the action guide for this area. In the future, I will give you a chance to prove yourself to Krym," arcado continued. "Don’t let me down at that time, okay?"
"yes! My Fuhrer! Meinster will never let you down! Fuehrer arcado? Long live Rudolf! " Meinster solemnly replied.
"Don’t look depressed. My general will show me a wolf den. Maybe I will spend the whole summer here," said some Nye in arcado. "I hope the temperature here is slightly better than Berlin. I hate the heat."
The car stopped at the first checkpoint, and the road was full of SS soldiers on both sides. On both sides of the road, there were birds chirping everywhere, and the mottled light shone on the ground through the dense leaves of the forest. arcado got up and took off his windbreaker and handed it to Anna, wearing SS troops inside.
He wears a lot of clothes, mainly to maintain the image of the head of state in public. The weather has not been too hot in recent two days. He even wears a trench coat to maintain a capable mental image. He has a special appearance designer, and his clothes are strictly arranged by Fanny. She needs a perfect image to make her make a declaration of the German head of state.
"My head of state! Welcome to the wolf’s den "checkpoint. An officer saluted at attention and then signaled the guards to remove the barricade.
Chapter 5 Wolf Cave
The car went on, but soon a wide camouflage net and some deliberately reserved vegetation appeared in front of it, which covered a lot of ground facilities, such as a lawn for parking several helicopters and a parking lot for more than three cars.
