The war is going very smoothly. The fully mechanized Chilean army occupied almost all the territory in the western Andes of Bolivia in one week at almost marching speed. It is currently regrouping its troops and preparing to cross the Andes from two places.
Continue towards eastern Bolivia.
At this time, Brazil couldn't sit still and jumped out to be a peacemaker. The main reason was that it didn't want to be neighbors with Chile, a country that obviously favored the South China Sea Federation. In that case, Chilean military and military forces might one day invade Brazil. But.
The Chilean government
They ignored the Brazilian government's mediation proposal and on the 10th day of the war, they used two divisions to cross the Andes Mountains and advance towards the eastern part of Bolivia. Looking at this situation, Bolivia will be subjugated in less than a month.
The Chilean army was progressing smoothly, and Mustache, who was far away in Europe, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He watched the South China Sea Federation sail across the northern Pacific, first eating Australia, and then began to attack the United States. Not only did it eliminate the U.S. Pacific Fleet,
The main force also severely damaged the U.S. Army and had a strong tendency to sweep across the western United States.
The small country of Chile, far away in South America, actually began to expand its living space in South America under the instigation of the South China Sea Federation, and did so in a spectacular way. According to information sent by German intelligence agents in Argentina, many Chilean troops have members of the South China Sea Federation.
As for the officers, although the weapons they use are made in Chile, apart from the different nameplates and trademarks, almost every screw position is the same. No need to ask, they are also produced using federal technology.
In the eyes of Mustache, the South China Sea Federation not only wants to swallow up the North American continent, but also wants to swallow up the South American continent. This appetite is too big. Compared with Liu Fu, he has been tossing in Europe for so long, and he is not that good. I know.
Shamed but then brave, Mustache decided not to let Liu Fu compete. If you can defeat the United States, then I can defeat the Soviet Union. Let's see who of us succeeds first.[
On June 1, 1941, nearly a month earlier than in history, a sudden attack was launched on the Soviet side of the Soviet-German border. The German army had been preparing for the attack on the Soviet Union for nearly a year, in accordance with the regulations formulated by the German Army Headquarters.
According to the plan, the German army will form three army groups: North, Central and South, totaling 117 divisions, plus 50 divisions from Finland, Romania, and Hungary, for a total of 167 divisions, and 28 German divisions as reserves.
Team.
For this offensive operation, the German army mobilized a total of more than 4,500 "Panther" medium tanks, more than 2,000 German self-developed No. 3 and No. 4 tanks, and more than 700 Czech-produced 35t and 38t tanks. In addition
In addition, the German army also invested nearly 40,000 artillery pieces of various types on the Eastern Front battlefield, which was basically all they had.
Due to a large amount of military cooperation with the South China Sea Federation, not only the German Army has made a big step forward in the development of tanks, but the German Air Force has also paid special attention to the design and production of combat aircraft. This time Marshal Goering mobilized about 2,000 aircraft
combat aircraft came to support
There are more than 900 bf109f fighter jets in the three army groups on the eastern front. They use federal engines. This is the latest fighter produced to replace the e-type. It has half the range of the original e-type. The fuselage
It is also much lighter and more flexible.
Army Group North is commanded by Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Loeb. It consists of an armored group and 2 armies. The armored group includes 5 armored divisions and 3 motorized infantry divisions. The 2 army groups contain 16
Infantry divisions, a total of 26 divisions.
Army Group North will set out from East Prussia, along the Baltic Sea coast in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and other places, and attack Leningrad. Together with the Finnish army, they will jointly launch an attack on this important industrial and port city in the northern Soviet Union.
Army Group Center was commanded by Field Marshal Fedor von Bock. It consisted of 2 armored groups and 2 armies. The armored group included the 2nd Armored Group led by Guderian. At this time, Guderian was already
Rank of General, 2nd Armored Group Division
Order. The Central Group has a total of 50 divisions. Their mission is to divide the Bialystok area on the border between Poland and Belarus into two routes, north and south, to break into the Belarusian territory and strive to control the Soviet Union in this area west of Minsk.
The army encircled, divided and destroyed them.
Army Group South is commanded by Field Marshal Gott von Rundstedt. It consists of one armored group and three armies, with a total strength of 41 divisions. There are also approximately 14 Romanian divisions under the command of Army Group South.
Its mission is to send troops from southern Poland and Romania to attack the Ukrainian region.
According to this battle plan, which the mustache called "Barbarossa", the first step of the German army was to break through the Soviet army's defense on the Soviet-German border, and then divide and surround the Soviet army near the border and eat them one by one. Then the third step was to break through the Soviet army's defense on the Soviet-German border.
The second step is to attack important cities such as Riga, Minsk, and Kiev, and capture Belarus and Ukraine. The third step is to attack Leningrad and Moscow to force Stalin to make concessions and negotiate peace with Germany.
At this time, the Soviet Union was not completely defenseless on the Soviet-German border. Different from history, the Soviet Union at this time had already joined the Allied camp in advance, and it did not have a strong enemy in the Far East that it needed to guard against.
Instead, there is the South China Sea Federation, which was once a military partner but the relationship has become increasingly cold.
Stalin has always been worried about his Far East. Even without r Japan, he is even more wary of the South China Sea Federation, which has become closer and closer to Germany, because on the border issue between northern China and the Soviet Union, the South China Sea Federation
Not only did they not support the Soviet Union, they also clearly stood against the Soviet Union. Therefore, the Soviet army deployed a large number of aircraft, tanks and troops in the Far East, especially in the Vladivostok and Sakhalin areas, to prevent the South China Sea Federal Army from attacking here.
A possible surprise attack on the Soviet Union in a region.
Stalin invested a total of about 70 divisions in the Far East, about 1 million to 1.2 million people, 3,000 aircraft, and about 2,000 tanks. On the Western Front, that is, near the borders of the Soviet Union with Poland and Romania, the Soviet Union had a total of more than 250
division, with a strength of 4.3 million, more than twice the size of the German offensive force.
Although the Soviet army at this time was still not as well-equipped as the German army, it had about 23,000 tanks (most of them were old models designed before 1933, such as 5,000 BT models, 10,000 T26 tanks, and 500 T28 multi-turret tanks.
t35 multi-turret type 51 vehicles, t3
There are more than 4,000 7 series reconnaissance tanks, more than 900 T34 medium-sized tanks, 600 KV1 and KV2 heavy tanks, and more than 700 American Grant and Stuart tanks), 15,000 of which are deployed near the Soviet-German border. In addition, the Soviet Red Army also
More than 70,000 artillery pieces are also deployed here.
The Soviet Air Force had about 19,000 combat aircraft at this time, but most of them were I-153, I-16 fighter jets and Sber-3 and Porter-3 bombers, accounting for about 80% of the total, with only a few
Relatively advanced Yak-1, MiG-3, IL-2 aircraft and US-aided P39 fighter jets. More than 11,000 of them are deployed on the Soviet-German border.
(Speaking of the P39 fighter, there is a very interesting little story. This fighter is a fighter designed by the American Bell Aircraft Company for the U.S. Army Aviation. Its design idea is very unique. One of them is to put the engine in the cockpit.
The rear, which is the center of gravity of the aircraft, makes the entire aircraft very mobile; secondly, it abandons the ordinary upper sliding canopy and uses a method similar to a car door to enter and exit the cockpit; thirdly, its nose
It contains a 37mm cannon.
It has many advantages, such as superior low-altitude performance, very flexibility, fierce firepower, armored cockpit, etc. However, its shortcomings are also very obvious. The high-altitude performance is very poor and it is difficult to control. US military pilots dislike this aircraft very much.
Calling it the "flying coffin," the U.S. Army immediately relegated it to obsolescence.
However, as the Soviet Union joined the Allied camp, a large number of P39s idle in American warehouses finally came into their own. They were aided by the Americans and used by the Soviet Air Force. As soon as these aircraft were in the hands of Soviet pilots, they immediately rejuvenated, and the Soviet Union
Pilots like this aircraft very much, especially the 37mm cannon in its nose, which has enough firepower to knock out a whole tank from the air.
As for the shortcomings of the P39, they are nothing to worry about in the eyes of the Soviet Air Force. What engine is inconvenient to repair in the fuselage? The Soviet Union has a large number of ground crews. A large group of people can repair an aircraft together, and they do not find it difficult to repair at all. What about poor high-altitude performance?
The Soviet Air Force had no intention of acquiring a P3 with such a sharp ground attack capability.
9. When used as a high-altitude fighter, there are Yak aircraft in the sky. The cockpit door is not convenient for escape? Damn! Troops that can be equipped with P-39 have the word "Guard" in front of them. We are the pride of the Soviet Union, as long as it is not
It explodes in the air. When it is shot down, it also looks for an enemy target and rushes down. Who dares to escape!!!
The P39, which had become useless in the United States, became a hot commodity in the hands of Soviet pilots. At the end of World War II, many Soviet pilots flew P39 and became ace pilots. They gave the aircraft a nickname, "Aerial Cobra"
".)
The basic situation of the Soviet army at the Soviet-German border at this time is that there are many people and artillery, tanks, aircraft, and political commissars, but the quality of the soldiers is low, the quality of the tanks is low, the performance of the aircraft is low, and the command ability is low. In addition, the Soviet troops still exist
It has a very fatal flaw, that is, there is a serious shortage of troop commanders. From marshals to company commanders, there are not many who have war experience, especially war experience.[
It is said that the Soviet army participated in the First World War from the beginning of Russia until the establishment of the Soviet Union. It fought against the White Army at home and the intervention forces abroad. There were also small countries such as Romania, Poland, and Finland in the surrounding area to provide it with training. In the past few decades, it has not
Idle, even if the equipment is a little poor, it is an elite soldier who has fought a hundred battles. Why is there a lack of commanders? This has to start with Stalin, a leader who could throw Zhu Yuanzhang several blocks away and kill heroes.
