Jagged Germany

  The German Army Group A's capture of Ulyanovgrad indicates that they have completed the first phase of the Barbarossa plan. Before capturing Ulyanovgrad, the German C Army Group successfully captured Bryansk, Orel, Lipetsk and Tambov, allowing the C Army Group's defense line to advance tens of kilometers north again , which means that they are one step closer to Moscow.

  At the same time, the German Army Group D entered the territory of Bu Russia after annihilating the Russian Southern Front. The second time captured Rostov-on-Don, and captured Volgodonsk all the way east. After that, Army Group D stopped its offensive and switched to defense.

   As a result, the major German army groups have completed the combat missions of the first phase of the Barbarossa plan. During this stage of combat missions, the German army wiped out the four front armies of the Russian army and wiped out more than two million enemies.

  Although, compared with Bu Russia, which has an army of tens of millions, two million people seem to be nothing at all. However, the two million people who were wiped out were the standing army of the Russian army, and they could be regarded as the elite troops of the Russian army. Even if the Russian army can further mobilize more troops, there is undoubtedly a certain gap in combat effectiveness between the newly formed troops and the standing army. This will enable the German army to achieve remarkable results in eliminating the effective forces of the Russian army. The next battle has always been much easier.

  If it weren't for the terrible winter in Russia, the German army could continue to attack. In this case, there would be no need to give Russia a break. Unfortunately, Russia's territory is too vast, and its strategic depth is too great. With Germany's current strength, it is still impossible to eat Russia in one bite. In addition, the German emperor Qin Tian knew about the mistakes made by another head of time and space. Therefore, he must avoid making similar mistakes as much as possible. He didn't want to end up in failure after working hard all his life.

  The German army stopped attacking and went on the defensive, which also made Russia breathe a sigh of relief. The previous fierce attack by the German army wiped out more than two million Russian troops in less than a month after the start of the war. This kind of attack power frightened everyone in Buer, worrying that the German army would hit Moscow in one breath. However, the cautious combat approach adopted by the German army also disappointed the high-level Russian army. They originally expected the Russian army to attack further, thereby lengthening the German army's front and logistical supply lines. In this case, they may have the opportunity to launch a counterattack and defeat the German army.

  The German army's initiative to stop the attack brought a rare calm on the battlefield. However, under this tranquility, there is a bigger crisis hidden. All fools know that the reason why the German army did this is to prepare for the next large-scale offensive. Once the Germans had completed their preparations and survived the harsh winter, their onslaught would begin again. At that time, whether the Russian army can withstand the German attack is undoubtedly very difficult to say. After all, the previous battles have proved that in the face of the German blitzkrieg, the defense of the Russian army is like a joke.

  Germany, Berlin, General Staff.

  Emperor Qin Tian and a group of senior cabinet officials went to the General Staff to listen to the situation report.

"Your Majesty, so far, the four army groups of the empire have completed the first phase of the battle plan. Now, the whole army is shifting to defensive operations. The millions of troops of the imperial army, except for some deployed in frontline positions , most of them will retreat to the second-line positions. The first-line positions will be taken care of by the armies of the protectorates of the empire. Wait until next spring, and our large-scale offensive will start again. In the spring of next year, we plan to capture Moscow and Joseph Big cities such as Gele. And push the front further east.” said Marshal Manstein, Chief of the General Staff.

  Qin Tian nodded, and was very satisfied with the German army's victory at this stage. At least, all aspects of the plan have been completed.

   "Did the supplies for the winter arrive at the front line?" Qin Tian asked.

   "Your Majesty, most of the supplies have already arrived at the front line. The rest of the troops are also rushing to rush to the front. Although the temperature in Russia has begun to drop now, it has not yet started to snow, and the weather is not very cold."

"Fuel, winter clothing, food, and accessories for weapons and equipment must be delivered on time. I don't want non-combat attrition because our winter winter measures are not in place. I don't want Russia to launch a counterattack. Our defense line will be destroyed by Russia Human breakthrough!" Qin Tian said with a serious face.

   "Yes, Your Majesty. Please rest assured that such a situation will never happen!" Marshal Manstein assured.

   "Using this winter, we will dispatch elite troops to wipe out the Russian guerrillas in the occupied area. Make sure they won't cause us trouble in next year's war!" Qin Tian said.

  Tomorrow's war will play a decisive role. Therefore, any unexpected situations must be avoided. The guerrillas led by the cloth party will be a huge threat to the German occupied areas and supply lines.

   "Your Majesty, our special forces are ready. As long as it starts to snow, they will be dispatched."

"Marshal Kesselring! From now on, the strategic air force can act. The cold winter ground forces cannot launch a large-scale offensive. However, the strategic air force can be dispatched. We will launch bombings on important cities in Russia, including important industrial bases. Destroy their industrial strength and war potential as much as possible!" Qin Tian said.

   "Yes, Your Majesty. The Strategic Air Force is ready for battle!" Marshal Albert Kesselring replied.

   "Everyone, now that everything is ready. Then, I will wait and see. Next, I will leave it to you to perform. In addition, after a week, the promotion ceremony will be held in the palace. Let the generals come back!" Qin Tian said.

   On the morning of October 15, 1939, Germany held a marshal promotion ceremony. The generals who performed outstandingly in this war will be promoted.

For the Army, General Bromberg, Commander of the 1st Army, General Brausch, Commander of the 2nd Army, General Guderian, Commander of the 8th Army, and General Rommel, Commander of the 9th Army, will be promoted to Field Marshal of the Empire.

   In terms of the navy, Admiral Dönitz, commander of the submarine force, and Admiral Lütjens, commander of the local fleet, were promoted to Admiral of the Imperial Navy.

   As for the Air Force, Admiral Edward Milch was also promoted to Marshal of the Imperial Air Force.
