spn1941, June. The summer of 1941 was hotter than ever before. The manic war clouds seemed to turn the world into a stew pot, putting the people of all warring countries into it. In the face of all-out war, no one held their breath.

. They are afraid that one day they will be drafted into the battlefield, or die in the explosion of a certain artillery shell. As China and the United States have not yet participated in the war, ordinary people's lives are filled with worry, excitement, happiness, fear, and schadenfreude.

Time and time again, Americans, in particular, believe that the United States is uniquely endowed with geographical advantages that are difficult for enemies to capture. They have become the most leisurely people, sitting back and watching the fire, appreciating the suffering of people in other countries.

"Chairman, this is the intelligence we have just received. According to the action date informed to us by the Germans, Plan Barbarossa will be launched in a week. The entire Germany has been mobilized, including other slave countries. In order to

To further "confuse" the Soviets, Germany carried out large-scale sea-crossing preparations on the coasts of the Netherlands and France, and deliberately leaked a fake plan called Kelloman to the British. Both Britain and Germany

An unprecedentedly fierce air battle broke out over the English Channel."

〖Chinese〗 In the combat conference room of the head of state’s base camp, none of the people present were senior generals of the Republic.

Su Yuren, the head of the Supreme Operations Department, took the Barbarossa plan report that had just been analyzed and sorted out by the staff at the head of state's base camp, and reported to Zhang Shusheng, "The Germans spent more than four months to remove as many as one hundred

Multiple divisions of troops went to the Eastern Front. According to our intelligence summary, it is estimated that the Germans gathered approximately 230 divisions, more than 4,700 tanks, more than 5,500 aircraft of various types, more than 52,000 artillery pieces, and a huge fleet.

The Germans will use their best blitzkrieg to give the Soviets a head-on blow."

"Huh? It seems that Hitler wants to repeat his miraculous victory in France with the Soviets." Zhang Shusheng frowned slightly. Although the Germans are indeed much stronger and have more allies than the Third Reich in history.

"The strategic choice was also more appropriate. Hitler even tried to deceive the Soviets by assassinating the enemy. But the scale of the Barbarossa plan was at least an increase compared to the original one in history, especially the tanks.

Armored forces, the combat level of the German armored forces has at least reached the level of the peak period in history.[

In contrast, the Soviets were faced with an unknown and powerful China and a Japan that was equally eyeing them. A single mistake would lead to catastrophe.

According to Zhang Shusheng's thinking, Stalin could not have foreseen this danger." As for Hitler's performances and bluffs, it was difficult to truly deceive Stalin. Perhaps in history, Stalin might have really been deceived by the Germans.

However, when the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Soviet Union, and even the Sino-Soviet border war has turned defensive, it is absolutely impossible for Stalin to fail to see this extreme danger.

What can we do if we see it? Should we take the initiative to attack the Axis powers? That might lead to faster destruction. We should station heavy troops on the eastern front, rely on solid fortifications, permanent fortifications, a huge group of local air defense fighter jets, and armored corps that are insufficient in attack but sufficient in defense.

The enemy will be killed decisively.

"Chairman, according to the latest intelligence we have just received, the Germans may have informed us of a false date, and they may have acted a few days in advance. According to reports from the agents in Japan, even Japan himself did not Know the exact time of the attack. "The overall command of the coordinated operations is in the hands of the German adviser Field Marshal Model. As many as one staff group of Germans have been stationed in North Korea and are responsible for the combat plan named Far East Glory." Intelligence from the Head of State's Base Camp General Luo Feng, director of the department and director of the Republic Intelligence Department, talked about the latest intelligence.

"Well, Weiguo, let's talk about the situation in North Korea." Zhang Shusheng turned his head and looked at the newly returned Northeastern Garrison Command, Lieutenant General Huo Weiguo, the supreme commander of the Northeastern People's Army. Huo Weiguo had just flown from Shenyang to Hanking in the morning to participate in this trip. An emergency meeting at the Head of State’s headquarters.

"Yes, head of state!" Huo Weiguo stood up and saluted. He then walked to the northeast map on the left side of the war room. He picked up the baton, pointed at the map of China and North Korea and said, "According to the previous secret agreement between China, Japan and Germany, the Japan-Germany Joint Operation Command According to the report sent to us, the actual strength of the Japanese army in North Korea has reached 1 million, and a large number of follow-up divisions from Shangcai can be landed at any time. There are also a large number of landing troops gathered near the northern islands. It is summer in the Far East now, suitable for The large forces launched the operation. According to the plan agreed upon by Japan and Germany, Japan would simultaneously implement the Far East Glory Plan at the beginning of the Barbarossa Plan and launch an attack on the Soviet Red Army in the Far East.

〖Japan〗Japanese troops in North Korea have basically been secretly gathering since January this year. In order to cope with the build-up of Japanese troops and prevent emergencies, "according to the order of the Supreme Operations Department, the total strength of the Northeast Security Command of 580,000 people has been expanded to The total strength of the five group armies is nearly 700,000. The garrison area has made various emergency preparations to prevent the Japanese from jumping over the wall in a hurry and secretly attacking the Soviet Union instead of attacking our country."

Jiang Baili, Chief of the General Staff of the Republic and Chief of the General Staff of the Supreme Operations Department, added on the defense deployment of the three northeastern provinces, "According to the order of the Chairman, the base camp has formulated a plan for the defense of the Northeast.

First of all, once the war breaks out, the Northeast Garrison Area Headquarters will immediately be reorganized into the Northeast Front Army in accordance with wartime policies, under the command of Lieutenant General Huo Weiguo.

In order to strengthen the defense operations in Northeast China, Lieutenant General Tao Qian was ordered to lead the First Armored Army to Shenyang in February this year. The First Armored Army is the most elite force in our country's current active army, except for the Guards stationed near Hanking. .It has three tank divisions, as well as one military self-propelled heavy artillery brigade and one military self-propelled air defense brigade. The comprehensive combat capability is very strong. One tank division is fully equipped with Tiger III tanks, and two tank divisions are equipped with Tiger 2 modified tanks. , and all tanks have the ability to fight in cold conditions.

In April this year, the 2nd Group Army commanded by Lieutenant General Chen Cheng and the 2nd Group Army commanded by Lieutenant General Ye Orlong were stationed on the Jilin-Heilongjiang front line. During the war, they will join the follow-up supplementary troops on the Jinzhou front line to form the Northeast Second Front Army, which will be composed of the former Tibet Guard. The district commander, Comrade Zhuge Sheng, was appointed as the commander of the Second Northeast Front Army. This brought the total number of the Northeast People's Army to more than 1 million.

On the Jinzhou front line, there are still follow-up regiments, such as the 12th Group Army led by Lieutenant General He Zhiguang. They can take the train north to support at any time.

"As for the Air Force," we have concentrated about 1,500 aircraft of various types in the Northeast. Correspondingly, according to our requirements, after the Germans made concessions, the Japanese army deployed more than 500 aircraft in northern Korea near the Soviet Far East, and in Japan

However, many aircraft carriers have been deployed in this sea, equipped with modified

Good ships and aircraft can take off from aircraft carriers to launch attacks on the hinterland areas of the Soviet Far East. The Japanese army's lightning operation "Far East Glory" plan will dispatch a total of about 1.5 million troops in the first batch, nearly 1,500 aircraft of various types, and more than 9,000

"Cannon" launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union.

Therefore, we have absolute advantages in land and air. Unless the Soviets suddenly turn around and attack our country with Japan, otherwise, there will be no war in the Northeast. Once the worst situation occurs, the Northeast Front Army and Chiang Kai-shek will quickly enter the battle.

, the pre-prepared Second Northeast Front Army will also be quickly replenished to the front line. You can also sit back and relax."

As soon as Jiang Baili finished speaking, all the generals were lost in thought. What a huge battle plan, Hitler's generosity, and the madness of the Japanese were all shocking. You must know that the Japanese army today is no longer the Japanese army it was back then.

Comparably, the weapons and equipment are more advanced and the logistics are sufficient.

Without "China" pulling back, once it attacks the Soviet Union, the Far East of the Soviet Union will be plunged into a sea of ​​fire, and "Japan" will sweep across the far and wide like locusts. After hearing these situations, Zhang Shusheng also pondered. A Barbarossa plan, a

The Far East Glory Project is so crazy.

In the original "Barbarossa Plan" in history, the German military strength was more than 190 divisions and more than 3 million troops. But this time, it was the 4 million mark. Even though there were a considerable number of servants among them**

The team still looks very large.

This is mainly because the Germans' war mobilization was more thorough and their goals were clearer. Zhang Shusheng didn't know whether Hitler ever thought about destroying Britain, but he worked with Japan and even China to carve up the Soviet Union. It was definitely Hitler.

goal.

Historically, all parts of Europe were very unstable, and guerrillas appeared frequently. In order to protect the oil in Bulgaria, the iron ore in Sweden and other countries, and to garrison Paris, the Germans diverted a large number of active elite troops.

But the current situation is that Europe is far more stable than the original historical Europe. There are many Nazi pseudo-"governments". While pursuing relatively moderate national policies, they actively follow Germany. Even France has established a provisional "government".

Nominally freed from all occupation by Germany.[

Several major slave countries of Germany have formed a large number of slave troops. The Italian troops stationed in France alone number more than 700,000. Turkey, for example, has more than 50 divisions sent to the East.

The line, together with more than 1 million other servant troops considered masters by the Italian army, will participate in the territory occupation tasks and logistics transportation and support tasks after the blitz operation.

In the Far East, in addition to deploying nearly a million troops in Southeast Asia, Japan will have nearly 3 million troops deployed in the Far East war against the Soviet Union, excluding the local garrison.

To expand their army, their eyes have jumped from the Far East to Siberia.

With the help of Germany and the acquiescence of China, Japan found itself with an unprecedented opportunity. The vast Siberia was like an inexhaustible cornucopia, waiting for the Japanese army to occupy. Then

Ship it back to Japan.

Today, Japan's top leaders are already looking forward to the perfect performance between Japan and Germany. Japan will cooperate with Germany to contain the British and French forces in Southeast Asia, and Japan will cooperate with Germany to carve up the Soviet Union. What wonderful expectations, as if

In an instant, Japan will become the world's second giant.

Seeing that the Chairman was silent, everyone discussed in low voices "waiting for Zhang Shusheng's instructions."

It took a long time for Zhang Shusheng to walk to the wall where the Far East map and the European Eastern Front battlefield map were hung. He said, "The Germans' Barbarossa Plan and the Japanese's Far East Glory Plan are extremely large in scale and have very special combat objectives.

clear characteristics.

The Germans and the Japanese themselves tried to defeat the Soviet Union in one year, or even less, and occupy at least one-third of their territory, especially the Soviet energy powerhouse.

The millions of German troops on the Eastern Front and the millions of Japanese troops in the Far East seem to be a very scary number. Together, they are basically equal to the size of the Soviet Red Army. This time, the Axis powers at least have more combat numbers.

An absolute advantage.

At the same time, this time the Axis powers will also adopt blitzkrieg tactics. On the same day, I was forced by the German advisory group to launch an attack at the same time. What does this mean?

Just now, I heard some of your discussions. Lieutenant General Zheng Zhinan, commander of the 8th Group Army, "What was your point just now?"

This was a base camp military meeting attended by senior members of the Republican Army and some new group army commanders. Zheng Zhinan was shocked when he heard this, but then stood up and saluted at attention, "Reporting to the head of state, I think the Soviets will resist the law."

The Japanese and Germans attacked. However, one year may not be enough. I predict that within two years, the Soviets will be forced to surrender. Or rely on the victory of a major battle to make peace with Germany and Japan."

Zheng Zhinan is still very nervous." The Chairman asked the question in person, and he almost felt frightened.

"Very good, sit down. Comrade Zhang Zizhong, commander of the Northwest Garrison Region." Zhang Shusheng named the second person.

"Reporting to the head of state, I don't think the Soviets will fail so soon. On the contrary, I think that if the Soviets don't make peace with Germany and Japan in about a year, the progress of the subsequent war may have a U-turn trend. I am stationed in Xinjiang all year round, and I have a close relationship with the Soviet Union.

People may know more. Stalin was a very crazy leader. "And the Bolsheviks' appeal is also very strong. The Soviets are likely to go to war with Germany and Japan without any hesitation." After Zhang Zizhong finished speaking, he stood at attention again.

"Well, Comrade Chu Shiwen, commander of the Third Army."

"Reporting to the Chairman, I think that if Stalin had hired people and was prepared in advance, he would probably rely on the Soviet Union and its huge strategic depth to consume the offensive momentum of the German and Japanese armies. From early defeats to mid-term trade of territory for time.

"Space for time" and then to the later Jedi counterattack. The Soviet Union may need a process." Chu Shiwen's answer reflects his consistent combat style. Defense and defense have offense, which is his most refined tactical theory.

"Second Armored Corps. Chen Jun."

"Reporting to the chairman of the committee, I believe that Germany and Japan will achieve huge results in the early stage by relying on the lightning tactics that the Armor Department believes are supported. However, I agree with Lieutenant General Chu Shiwen that the strategic depth of the Soviet Union is too huge. Without [Chinese]

If the country sends troops to cut off Siberia, the east-west artery, the war will become protracted."

"Comrade Yang Hucheng, acting commander of the 17th Group Army." The last person Zhang Shusheng named was Yang Hucheng. He was also the third former Kuomintang member of the Republican Army, following Zhang Zizhong and Chen Cheng, to be entrusted with the important task of commander of the group army.

General. In the past few years, China has been using the excuse of the huge military threat from Japan and the Soviet Union. In 1941, it finally maintained a huge army with a framework of 17 army groups. Of course, due to non-

During the war, most of these group armies had more than 100,000 men. Some of them only had tens of thousands of personnel. For example, the last sequential group army that Yang Hucheng served as was a group army that had not yet been expanded during wartime.

The People's Army has a total of 2.5 million troops. Although it is nothing compared to the Soviet Union and Japan, China does not need to immediately participate in the war. This is the biggest advantage. Once the war breaks out, China

〗China fully participates in the war, and a larger army will be quickly established based on this 2.5 million army.

Yang Hucheng stood up, saluted and stood at attention. "I think this is a lose-lose war, but it is also an opportunity for us."

Zhang Shusheng waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, then returned to the head of state's seat and made a concluding speech to the generals below, "The offensive power of Germany and Japan is very powerful, and I can even take responsibility for it."

Let me tell you that Japan's own madness will cause them to send more troops in the next war.[

However, this is by no means a short-term war, and the Soviets will not raise their hands to surrender. On the contrary, they will fight against Germany and Japan with the strength of the whole country.

This is an unprecedented world war, and perhaps there will not be another such war on earth in the future. Therefore, I want to remind everyone. Since even we can fully expand our military preparations for war, those participating countries will not take the initiative to give up resistance. Su

A full-scale war between Germany and Japan is just around the corner, and in addition to keeping a close eye on the war situation and looking for the best harvesting opportunity, we also pay close attention to the Americans.

Don’t forget, everyone is watching the fire from the other side, besides us, there is also the United States.”

Soviet Union, a palace on the outskirts of Moscow, where Stalin went for summer recuperation and hunting.

"Comrade Stalin's marksmanship is really superb, and the harvest this time is great." Stalin's head guard saw Stalin riding back under the protection of the guards. He hurriedly stepped forward and took a large bunch of prey from the guard's hands, and then said

, "Comrade Stalin and Comrade Beria are here. They say there is an urgent military situation."
