"Of course! Of course!" Salinchkin's smile never faded. He said very proudly: "The great Soviet Red Army is invincible. In the early days of the war, the Germans fooled us into carrying out sneak attacks. Once we stood firm,
By keeping our heels, we can counterattack little by little, and finally we will reach Berlin! We will capture Kharkov tomorrow, and Kiev the day after tomorrow. The day when the war will be won is not far away."
Yang Mingzhi curled his lips slightly and glanced at him.
Is the Soviet army really ready to attack Kharkov? Not necessarily! Timoshenko's current main opponent is the German Sixth Army. This German army has a very strong combat effectiveness. If Timoshenko fights this time
It can be defeated, and there will be no all-out battle in the Don River Basin in the future, nor will the Battle of Stalingrad and the Caucasus Battle occur.
Is this possible? Can Timoshenko win? Since the Southwest Front was defeated in that dimension and the superior forces were forced to retreat to Stalingrad on the Don River and the German army fought to the death with human lives, the macro history will be biased?
Yang Mingzhi knew the weight of his butterfly, and a major defeat for the Soviet army might be unavoidable.
As a result, Yang Mingzhi appeared to be preoccupied. In Salinchkin's view, this man was just strategizing.
Perhaps because his statement just now was too conceited, Salinchkin tried hard to regain his emotions and said: "Comrade Berekov, there is no doubt that our army destroyed forty Panzer IV tanks and thirty heavy artillery pieces, and even the German army's high-intensity
The military train transportation fully proves that the German army is strengthening the defense of Ukraine. After I received this information, I conveyed it to the Southwest Front Army Command as soon as possible. Comrade Timoshenko attaches great importance to this information and he has a good impression of you.
He made a comment and asked me to bring you some words."
Yang Mingzhi's eyes lit up: "Oh? Is there such a thing?"
"Of course! Our actions are too bold..."
It turned out that after the troops reported the results of blowing up several military trains and breaking the railway, the Novgomel side quickly wrote a summary document and passed it to the Southwest Front Army Headquarters as soon as possible.
Timoshenko and Tupikov knew very well that Berekov was a bold man.
"We only have two thousand troops to launch a large-scale operation. If they are attacked by the German forces from Mozyr, they will be finished! This is typical desperateism! Adventurism! Opportunism!" Timoshenko commented on his subordinates.
This general, for this person, Tupikov, the chief of general staff of the front army, has more say.
"If we use military discipline to restrict him firmly, he will not be able to exert his subjective initiative. That man is very bold, and military miracles are accomplished through this boldness! In our opinion, he is bold, in his opinion
All their actions are well thought out! They are in enemy-occupied territory, and they know the situation behind the enemy's rear better than we do..."
It sounded like Tupikov was endorsing him, and Timoshenko was still somewhat dissatisfied.
The bald middle-aged man's recent thoughts were entirely on planning a counterattack. Against all opinions, Stalin ordered the Southwest Front Army and the Southern Front Army to launch a counterattack in southeastern Ukraine and Crimea. What is the situation of the Southwest Front Army? The leader is not there.
He doesn't understand the front line of the battle.
Timoshenko knew his troops best. During the counterattack in February, the troops liberated the Severdonetsk River Basin and once confronted the Germans on this river. The important town of Belgorod was liberated, and the Soviet troops again
The southern part of the city successfully broke through.
Currently, there are multiple infantry divisions building defense lines in the salient, and they were once in a confrontation with the German Sixth Front.
Stalin's order required the troops to focus their next attack on Kharkov. He was too optimistic about the Southwest Front!
"Many troops are lacking, many veterans have died in battle, and most of the newly recruited soldiers are on the battlefield for the first time. There are many troops, but the actual number of troops that can be put into combat is not ideal. The most critical mechanized troops and tanks are too few! RPG
The technology was mastered by the German army, and they were also equipped with this type of individual anti-tank weapon, becoming a major nemesis of Soviet tanks..."
Considering the current pressure on the Southwest Front, Timoshenko had to think more about Belekov.
This man has become a Soviet citizen and is still Chinese at heart! This man has Eastern wisdom. He successfully developed and put into actual combat the rocket-propelled grenade that the Soviet Union once failed to do. This kind of weapon is really good. The Soviet army likes it.
Use it, the German army also likes it!
With its existence, the anti-tank capabilities of the Soviet army have been greatly enhanced, as has the German army! What's more, this weapon can also be converted into an infantry-killing grenade by changing the warhead.
A new type of weapon can only bring tactical advantages to the troops, not to mention both the Soviet Union and Germany. Timoshenko felt under great pressure. The leader's order was to liberate Kharkov, which made it necessary for him to fight the German Sixth Army head-on.
.It is a heavy military group with more than 100,000 troops and a large number of Nazi servants. To liberate Kharkov, these elite German troops must be completely annihilated without mercy, rather than defeated!
Is this possible? Is the winning rate high? They are the elite German army after all!
The German armored forces have been strengthening, and the Soviet armored forces are not large in number, so the comparison on the table is not advantageous at all.
Both warring parties have welded a layer of barbed wire or installed a layer of hollow steel plates on their tanks and armored vehicles.
This type of measure can largely offset the power of rocket-propelled grenades, and its existence also makes many existing anti-tank guns ineffective. It seems that if you want to destroy the opponent's tank with one blow, you must either shoot flatly from the howitzer or use anti-tank grenades.
Blow up the chassis!
The intensity of the war is unprecedented. Timoshenko cannot help but worry about the next battle. Even if he defeats the German Sixth Army, his own losses will be huge. Whether he can stabilize the front after defeating the German army in front of him depends not only on his own troops.
Fighting bravely requires timely blood transfusions from the rear troops and even a little luck.
As for the various guerrilla zones behind enemy lines, if they can hit and attack the enemy's communication lines, it would be a kind of magical aid.
Timoshenko had no more illusions. Even though Berekov under his command was a strange person, the impact of other guerrilla troops on the campaign was almost negligible.
Belekov was crazy. He personally led a small group of troops to attack the German army. After achieving major tactical victories at the beginning, new victories followed one after another.
Sarinchkin reported these good news to Timoshenko without hesitation, because this was the commissioner appointed by Stalin, and his report must be reviewed by Timoshenko.
Even if the so-called 63rd Army is very capable, they only have more than 10,000 people at best, and most of them can be described as a ragtag group.
However, after Timoshenko read the multiple report documents, he quickly changed his attitude. "Hey! This Berekov, it turns out that his sabotage activities are so organized!"
There are two important railway lines entering Ukraine from Belarus. The German military trains are very busy now. Belekov seemed to have a premonition and insisted on cutting off the railway at this point.
What surprised Timoshenko the most was that in a difficult environment like a swamp, they managed to produce a rocket launcher that was comparable to the Katyusha, and the accuracy seemed to be better. With this weapon, they attacked decisively
German railway station.
Replacing the broken rails is quite simple, but cleaning up the destroyed rails and the train wreckage in the wilderness is undoubtedly a big project.
The new weapons are shipped from Germany, passing through occupied Poland, along the railway line into Brest in Belarus, and then turn south through Mozyr to directly enter Kiev, the core railway hub of Ukraine. The materials can be quickly transported to Donba.
S.
"Now, Berekov has caused the German army to no longer be able to use that railway for some time in the future. We must find ways to stabilize Berekov's results!" Timoshenko then thought of an effective way, and he immediately contacted
The guerrilla movement headquarters was assigned to the guerrilla movement headquarters, and the concentrated sabotage operation against the railway lines in the four directions of Mozyr began!
