"Yes, Comrade Commander, if you think about it carefully, we are planning ahead just for today. This is not something I can plan. The current situation was doomed from the beginning. If they don't send me airdrop supplies, I'm afraid they are too busy taking care of themselves."
After saying that, Yang Mingzhi stood up and twisted his neck: "Comrades, follow me."
The four of them stood next to the map of the Soviet Union on the gun wall, and Yang Mingzhi pointed to the Crimea area.
"Judging from our current intelligence, our Southwest Front Army has been retreating, hasn't it? In the north, the Northwest Front Army, our old employer, is launching a comprehensive counterattack under the leadership of Zhukov. The battle outside Moscow continues, and the German army finally begins to retreat.
.So, I personally think that the enemy's strategic center will turn to the south, and Timoshenko may not be able to provide us with assistance, because the distance is really too far!"
"Oh? My chief of staff, you are the only one in the division who can talk about the overall situation of the war." Yelentina said, "Actually, Timoshenko and Tupikov praised you and claimed that you should go to the front army.
Headquarters, your insights into the battle situation have been recognized by them. So maybe your current insights are correct."
Yang Mingzhi smiled honestly, this was not some battlefield insight, it was just the foresight of a time traveler. The future movements of the German army were also based on various considerations, and the strategic level would not be changed beyond recognition because of a little butterfly like him.
.
He said decisively and modestly: "It is inevitable that the enemy will turn to the south. This is determined by the German army's strategy."
Deep in the swamp, there is really not much intelligence. The battle reports obtained by the 284th Division are now all obtained by the Gomel underground organization. The latest intelligence shows that the Soviet army has lost Donbass, Odessa, and Crimea is in danger
.
As for the Soviet Union, Ukraine is a huge granary, a huge oil and coal production base, and its strategic value is very important.
Yang Mingzhi continued: "I am the division staff officer, and I have said these things before. The Germans' goal is to occupy the entire Soviet Union, not only to capture Moscow, the economic, cultural and political center, but the Nazis need the resources of the Soviet Union. That's why they
The troops are divided into two groups, one plans to capture Moscow, and the other plans to capture Ukraine and the Caucasus region. For oil. Comrades, if there is no oil, how will our tanks operate? Therefore, the core purpose of the Southwest Front Army is to defeat the enemy.
Live the German army and defend Soviet energy.
Comrades, Germany is not fully prepared for this war. Moreover, their total military strength, even if we include those servant countries, our army is still much larger than theirs. Five million troops are distributed on a huge front line.
Look, from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, it is a distance of more than a thousand kilometers. Our huge strategic depth will slowly dilute the enemy. They must choose to focus their attack, so..." Yang Mingzhi hit the Caucasus on the map hard.
"Here, the Baku oil fields, and the area south of the Caucasus. The German army's ultimate ambition is to occupy the entire world. They will invade Iraq, Persia, and then enter India to join forces with the Japanese! Therefore, the core mission of our Southwest Front is
Delay as much time as possible!"
"So, we can only give up temporarily? Are they making a strategic retreat to preserve their strength? And we can only rely on ourselves." Yevlov continued to ask.
"I'm afraid so. I'm sorry to tell you." Yang Mingzhi looked at everyone expressionlessly, and the scene was a bit solemn.
Fumin immediately clapped his hands: "Oh! Don't be so serious. We still have a lot of potatoes and plenty of ammunition. At worst, I will continue to rob the Germans. Besides, Liguschkov from the Blacksmith Village,
He collects all human and animal excrement and makes saltpetre on a large scale. As we have more gunpowder, we have more and more weapons."
Being isolated and helpless has become an established fact. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you and smiled bitterly one after another.
"It's better to go back and sit down." Yevlov stretched out his right hand, "Dear Berekov, there is actually another matter that I need your opinion on."
The four of them got back to work, and Yevlov pointed out the problem of prisoners that had arisen.
"As for the prisoners, Jelentina and I just want to keep them and dig potatoes for us. What do you think of this plan?"
"This is good. Let them produce food for the people. I remember that Henschel was very willing to cooperate." Yang Mingzhi said.
"But you also know that our soldiers and ordinary citizens are basically extremely hostile to these people. After all, these people are killing people everywhere on our land. So many soldiers hope to simply shoot them.
Their emotions were suppressed by me. So I think these prisoners of war should be held separately."
What he meant was that it was almost a concentration camp. Yang Mingzhi thought for a while and agreed with this opinion. "Okay, build a new barracks, control the prisoners of war, and send troops to guard it."
"And we must give them some tools." Yelentina interjected: "We don't raise idlers. We don't need to kill these prisoners of war, but they must work. They work at least twelve hours a day. Don't blame us for being ruthless.
As long as these people are alive, we have done our best to be benevolent and righteous."
"So where are those doctors and nurses?!" Yang Mingzhi suddenly asked, "One of the doctors is a German from the United States. This idiot should have been our ally, but in the end he foolishly returned to Germany!"
At this point in time, on December 7, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and the United States swept away isolationism and joined World War II. At this point, the United States and the Soviet Union had become actual allies, and the common enemy was the Axis Powers.
"Those nurses and doctors!" Yelentina straightened her chest, "These people are not combatants. I told those young women that if they want to survive, they should continue to work as nurses honestly. But you all know that they are an enemy country.
Women, our soldiers are a group of old men. There are currently no incidents of violence against women because I am suppressing them with discipline. I am afraid they can only work hard to take care of the wounded and atone for this. The American you are talking about
, he is already willing to cooperate with us. For this, these people have high utilization value, which just makes up for our shortage of doctors and nurses."
When Yang Mingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Well, we have a proverb in China, which is that we would rather be a dog in peacetime than a human in wartime. War is too terrible for us, so we should reduce the killing. This
In this war, those German girls are the enemy, but we can use means to make them ours."
"Let them become Bolsheviks?" Yelentina understood immediately. "Are you sure they can? A group of Nazis."
"It should be possible. After all, after the end of the war, Germany was also controlled by the Bolsheviks for half a year. If the disbanded troops had not returned to Berlin, and if Comrade Lenin's counterattack had not been organized under the walls of Warsaw, Germany would have had a red flag flying! Comrade
We, now we have another chance. Sooner or later we will occupy Berlin, and by then we will never be able to kill all 80 million Germans. We have to tell them that it is wrong to believe in Nazis. They are all originally
Ordinary people at the bottom of society are oppressed by capitalists, and now they are being enslaved and fighting against us. And we will give them hope and naturally turn them into our comrades. Yelentina, what do you think?"
What she said made Yelentina feel particularly comfortable. "You have said everything I should say, making it seem like you are the political commissar. That's fine, even if we are isolated and helpless, you are still imagining how we can win the war."
A great victory. This is good, I am very happy. Well, I will let my people educate those young women with new knowledge, hoping that they can wake up and become one of us." (To be continued.) 8
