Leningrad is located in the north of the Soviet Union, at the junction of Finland, and its original name is St. Petersburg. In the eyes of the Soviets, this is a holy city, because the Soviets' February and October Revolutions both took place in this city. Since the beginning of the Barbarossa Action Plan in 1941, the Germans have been besieging the city for nearly two years, but they just cannot capture this almost terrifying city.

But in August 1943, the time to capture the city of yesterday finally came. After the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kursk, the most elite troops of the Soviet army were consumed a lot. Stalin was forced to draw some elite troops from the Leningrad region to move south to support the nearly collapsed southern wing, forcing the original anti-siege war in the Leningrad region to cease.

At this time, the Sixth German Army, led by the new commander Liszt, had already begun to head north from the Stalingrad region, preparing to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Soviet army's morale being depressed after the defeat in the Kursk Battle. Manstein also sent troops from the Orel region to advance eastward, preparing to meet with the German army heading north in the Stalingrad region, completely crush the Soviet army's southern wing, and advance strategically towards Moscow.

After reaching the north, our great Marshal Gesyun received an order to completely eliminate the Soviet army in the Leningrad region, completely destroy the northern wing of the Soviet army, occupy Leningrad, and then join forces with the Finnish army. Liberate the entire northern cluster from the Leningrad region, so as to go south with all your might and siege Moscow.

Of course, the Germans were eager to attack Leningrad and had another resource purpose, which was to open up land transportation to Norway and transport important Norway minerals to Germany by railway, in order to speed up the manufacturing of German tanks. Because the several minerals urgently needed by the Germans to make tanks were produced from Norway.

On August 19, 1943, the great Marshal Gesyun arrived at Uritsk City in the Leningrad region. Here, through the high-power telescope, Marshal Gesyun could clearly see the rooftops and the spire of Stalin in the city of Leningrad. However, after the Germans arrived here, they could no longer move forward. After nearly two years of fighting, the main German army was still stopped outside the city.

Kimda looked at this terrible city through a telescope, and could have persisted for so long under the bombing of the Germans. No wonder the Soviets boasted as a city that would never be defeated. Kimda couldn't help but remembered several Sabak offensive and defensive battles in the legendary game. He had completely cleared the enemy outside the city, but he could not rush into the palace, but was dragged to death by the enemy. It seemed that the Leningrad had the same effect. If he could not attack in such a situation, he would definitely be dragged to death by the enemy.

"General Ge Siyun, it seems that Leningrad is really difficult to deal with, and the entire defense system is quite strict. Although it is only a few kilometers away from the city, the bunker belt along the way is almost invincible." After Obestan looked at everything in front of him through a telescope, he sincerely exclaimed.

Jinda reluctantly put down the telescope and asked with an unhappy look, "Obestan, you are now the Chief of Staff of the Northern Cluster and have taken over the work in full. Do you have any opinions on the current overall situation?"

Obestan took out the combat map and spread it on the ground. "General Gesyun, this is the latest combat map now. The current situation is that the Soviet Leningrad Front is defending the city, while Volkhov threatens on our flanks. Until now, we have completely cut off all external supplies from Leningrad from land, so that the Soviet supply can only be transported from Lake Ladoga, and then transported to Leningrad by our artillery fire.

Moreover, according to the information we have, at least 800,000 people have died in Leningrad in the past few years, and the Soviets in this city of Leningrad are still continuing to die. If we want to capture Leningrad, we must find a way to cut off all supplies in the city and block the transportation on the lake. We will launch several battles on the Volkhov Front, so that they cannot support the Leningrad Front in the city."

Jinda looked at the battle map and thought about Obestan's words. He is now the Imperial Marshal. Although he still knows the battle map very well, he still has to pretend to be a master and not lose the marshal's demeanor. After thinking for a long time, Jinda asked, "If you want to cut off the enemy's supplies, you must occupy this 5th Worker New Village, but do we have this ability at present? I read the combat report of my predecessor. The Soviet army's defense in that area is very strong. Is our strength enough?"

Obestan squeezed his eyebrows into a pile of grimaces and said regretfully, "General Ge Siyun, I feel very sorry here. The current strength comparison is far higher than us. But the only thing we are happy about now is that in order to prevent the collapse of the southern wing, Stalin transferred several elite armies from Volkhov, which seriously reduced the quality of the Soviet army in the Leningrad region and gave us the opportunity to launch an attack.

Unfortunately, the head of state put the offensive focus on Orel and Stalingrad. We cannot expect any reinforcements. In addition, the only possible pest army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Kursk. Now we can only rest in the north and cannot engage in combat, which greatly reduces our strength. We can only rely on the few troops in the 16th and 18th armies to launch an attack."

"Isn't there a Chaos Legion? There are almost 150,000 people to be involved in the battle. Can't these troops be used?" Jintian felt helpless. This northern cluster was just an empty stance. The main force was transferred and joined the attack on the southern wing of the Soviet army. There were too few troops in his hands, and it was difficult to launch a large-scale attack. The head of state would really have problems for himself.

"Yes! There is also the Chaos Legion." Obestan's face tightened and said, "General Gesyun, in this Chaos Legion, most of them are not suitable for participating in positional offensive battles. Only the tractor armored division and the gangster gangster tank division can be used, but it cannot affect the situation. Overall, our troops are still not as strong as the Soviet army, and the armored forces are barely equal to the Soviet army, which is very unfavorable for the attacking side. Rather than saying that we are surrounded by Leningrad, it is better to say that we are in a confrontation with the Soviets. The Soviets are unable to launch a counterattack, and we cannot break the deadlock. The only advantage we have now is air supremacy."

After listening to Obestan's introduction, Jintian fell into deep thought again. How can he capture this terrible city? If he wants to capture this city, he must first block the transportation line from Lake Ladoga. But he has no warships to enter this Lake Ladoga, and submarines cannot enter the lake to develop wolf pack tactics. Alas, it's really troublesome. Do you have to catch whales to attack the Soviet supply ship? By the way! Whale.

Jintian suddenly thought of something and thought this method was feasible, so he asked Obestin, who was beside him, "Oestin, let's catch the crocodile in the zoo and put it into this Ladoga Lake to attack the Soviet ships. Then, find the piranhas in the Amazon River and put them into Lake Ladoga Lake. I have read the report. The Soviets seemed to be transported by boats. If they encounter crocodiles, they will be finished. If they don't die under the attack of the crocodile, but fall into the water, they will be eaten by the piranhas. Look at the plan."

After listening to Marshal Gesiyun's advice, Obestin felt a burst of pain in his temples. Rubbing his painful brain and rubbing the cold sweat on his forehead. Obestin felt that he was really sad. How could he serve such a marshal as chief of staff? "General Gesiyun, how did you graduate from school and how did you pass the biology class. Crocodiles are tropical animals, and piranhas are also tropical animals. If they were transported from the tropics to the Soviet Union in the cold zone, even if it was summer now, the crocodile and piranhas would not live for a few days. At most, three days, all of these animals would become a delicious meal for the Soviets, which would just solve the problem of food scarcity of the Soviets and increase protein for them."

"This, haha," Kimda sneered a few times to relieve his embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Then use heavy artillery to block the lake, bombard the planes with crazily, blow up all the Soviet ships, and force the Soviets to surrender."

Obestan shook his head in the second and said in disagreement, "General Gesyun, don't think of this idea anymore. Our blockade of Leningrad has lasted for two years. In the past two years, we have fired 150,000 artillery shells at Leningrad, dropped 102,520 aviation incendiary bombs and 14,653 aviation blasting bombs, and blocked the lake surface with heavy artillery of more than 400 mm. But none of them have much effect. The Soviets still used the cover of night to transport supplies to the city through Lake Ladoga. At night, our planes could not be dispatched, and the heavy artillery could not be fired accurately. In addition, the Soviets transported supplies to the city regardless of casualties, so it was difficult for us to blockade."

"Hey,,,' Kimda smiled bitterly and said, "This is not possible, that is not possible. What should I do now? Even if the Soviets died, they would not surrender, so they would definitely not surrender now. By the way! Obestan, how did these more than 800,000 people die? Can bombardment and shelling kill so many people?"

"No, these more than 800,000 people were basically starved to death." Obestin looked at Leningrad ahead with respect. "The Soviets were so tenacious. They were besieged by us for more than two years and starved to death, but they became stronger and stronger. According to the information we currently have, the Soviets had stockpiled a large amount of food in the city and prepared to deal with our summer blockade, because in summer, it is difficult to transport food in. Even if a grain of food cannot be transported into Leningrad during this period, the Soviets could hold on for about a month. As soon as autumn comes, Lake Ladoga will freeze, and then the Soviets can easily transport supplies to the city through the ice. Even if we block Lake Ladoga now, we will not be able to force the Soviets to surrender."

"Is that right,,," Kimda suddenly felt his brain start to start madly again, thinking quickly. This is a sign of coming up with a great idea. Every time I feel this way, it means that I have come up with a way to break the enemy. After a long time of stagnation, Kimda suddenly slapped his thighs excitedly and said, "I have a way, I have an idea, I have a good idea."

"General Ge Siyun, what great idea did you think of again?" Obestan is very familiar with General Ge Siyun's expression. As long as General Ge Siyun shows this, this third empire, Marshal of the Third Reich, who has a terrifying idea, must have thought of some invincible way, a frightening bad idea.

"Hehe," Jintian sneered a few times and said, "General Obestan, you grew up in a zoo. Do you know which animals specialize in stealing food? What animals are the most hated by farmers who store food."

"Rat," Obestan blurted out. It seemed that only rats were specializing in stealing food, which was hard to guard against, but General Ge Siyun asked what this was done.

"That's right, it's a rat." Jintian proudly said his plan. "In order to prevent food from being bombed by us, the Soviets would definitely hide all the food in the basement. It is impossible for us to blow up the food in the basement, but we can ask mice for help and friends of this kind of human being.

I am going to mobilize the working people of all Germans to capture mice with the sign of eliminating the four pests. Catch millions of mice and airdrop them into the city of Leningrad. The mice are animals with strong survivability. They will definitely find food when they arrive in a new place, so they must eat the food of the Soviets. Think about it, millions of mice! How much food should they eat. At that time, we will do our best to block Lake Ladoga, and we will definitely starve the people in the city to death."

"This,, can this work? General Gesiyun?" Obestin was shocked. What exactly did General Gesiyun's brain do? What kind of messy attack method is this? Use rats to attack Leningrad? My God! I'm not dreaming!

Jintian asked his brain to think about it for a few more times and said, "You are right. It may not be possible to just use rats, right! Isn't there a kind of cockroach called German cockroaches in Germany? It seems that it mainly relies on eating food. We then organize the people to catch cockroaches and airdrop them to Leningrad with rats. The Soviets did not have cockroach pills, and the Soviets' food would be ruined at that time."

Jintian remembered his experience of being a chef in a restaurant. The restaurant kitchen was full of cockroaches. Especially a kind of terrible cockroach, which can survive even in a refrigerator with minus 30 degrees Celsius. According to the people from the epidemic prevention station, this cockroach ran from Germany and is an invasive species. He likes to eat food and can easily make the food moldy. As long as he airdrops these cockroaches to Leningrad, it is guaranteed that the food moldy of the Soviets will become moldy. In addition, the joint attack of the rat cluster will ensure that the Soviets starve to death.

Thinking of this, Jinda ordered without hesitation, "Obestan, immediately recruit all generals to meet, and we will discuss the latest combat deployment."

"Yes! General Ge Siyun."
