Imperial Overlord

Although in real historical time and space, the Baltic Sea route controlled by Germany is actually not peaceful, and the low utilization rate is justifiable.

But in this time and space, Germany has already killed the difficult British navy, so the Baltic Sea is already a safe route.

Use this safe route to transport materials to the hinterland of the Soviet Union without damage. This is an important advantage that railways cannot meet!

With this route, and then connecting the railway between Leningrad and Moscow, it means that materials can be easily sent from Kiel and other ports to the vicinity of Moscow.

If you control the railway lines that radiate from Moscow to the surrounding areas, the most elite areas of the Soviet Union can become areas firmly controlled by Germany!

Therefore, at this moment, Leningrad is not a target to vent Hitler's anger, but a very important strategic focus!

In order to seize this important city, one of the most capable troops in the German army, the SS Imperial Division of General Paul Hauser, also entered the street battle.

This division is not yet a complete armored division, and its current state should be more appropriately called a mechanized grenadier division.

They got their own Stalker tank destroyers, but they didn't have tanks, and there were more infantry than tank divisions.

Most of these soldiers have experienced field battles and street battles in the United Kingdom, and have rich combat experience. Their appearance also filled the lack of experience of the 15th, 19th and 20th SS divisions of the German army that mainly attacked Leningrad. .

Paul Hauser was already in the city of Leningrad. He chose a more interesting building as his headquarters to command the newly established 3rd SS Army, nibbling away bit by bit. Streets of Leningrad.

He divided several blocks into small squares, and then cleaned up the Soviet troops one by one, and guarded them strictly to prevent the Soviet troops from infiltrating and counterattacking.

Using such tactics, the main reason is that he does not want to turn urban street fighting into a chaotic war of attrition. He hopes that he can torso the enemy and let them appear on the frontal battlefield as much as possible.

In this way, the German army can relieve its worries and no longer worry about the appearance of a small group of Soviet troops behind.

Although this attack will be very slow, but it can form a solid line of defense, suitable for the current state of the German attack.

"General! I just got the news that an officer was sent from the Soviet Union to ask to see you. He said that they are willing to surrender conditionally." An officer walked into Paul Hauser's headquarters and started reporting.

Hearing this news, Paul Hauser's eyes lit up. Maybe he really found a way to quickly occupy Leningrad!

"Bring him in, I want to see him in person!" Paul Hauser said with a smile on his face.

"Also, ask for an interpreter... and send a telegram to Marshal Loeb and ask him to grant me the power to negotiate!" Paul Hauser looked out of the fairly clear window with his hands behind his back.

This bright sunshine made him feel good, because if he could accept the surrender of some Soviet troops, it would definitely be good news for him to attack Leningrad.

If the Soviet commander was willing to surrender, he didn't mind giving the other side a decent surrender ceremony.

As long as he can retain the port function of the city of Ningrad, then he can definitely be regarded as a great achievement.

It is definitely a good thing that the Supreme Command of the Head of State and the Army General Headquarters can be overjoyed to be able to shorten the road transportation supply line by 100%.

And capturing the city named after the Soviet Union's greatest leader, Lenin, can be regarded as a very commemorative honor.

He really doesn't mind adding a fancy title like "Conqueror of Leningrad" to his future nickname.

The clothes of the incoming Soviet officer were not neat. Although he brought a few soldiers across the line of actual control with white flags waving, he did not tidy up his appearance.

In fact, the Soviet troops were already very embarrassed. They didn't have time to wash their uniforms, and there was no way to withdraw from the blood-stained defense line.

The Germans could rotate the bench and let their most exhausted troops retreat to rest, but the Soviet Union did not have this time.

The number of Soviet troops is now at an absolute disadvantage, and the remaining cities are not enough for them to avoid the shells from the sea.

Therefore, whether it is the Soviet army in the core area or the Soviet army in the peripheral defensive positions, the nerves are very tense, and there is no space and time to relax.

Adolf Hitler's Panzer Division, reinforced to Army Group North, under the command of General Dietrich, had already advanced toward the northern part of Moscow.

The Germans had already threatened the security of Moscow in the north. Stalin's departure also lowered the morale of Moscow's top left-behind leaders. They passively defended there and transferred all troops that could be mobilized to Moscow to Moscow.

In this way, the Soviet troops who originally supported Leningrad retreated to a farther place, and Voroshilov became a lonely army that lacked food and ammunition after all.

"As long as you agree to exempt us from hard labor and receive proper treatment in the prisoner of war camp, we are willing to hand over our weapons and let us appear in the garrisoned defense area." As soon as we met, the Soviet officers who surrendered explained their intentions.

He wasn't very demanding because they didn't have much chips left. The Germans could already feel the end of their opponents, and it was useless to be clever.

After Paul Hauser heard this request, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ nodded slightly. The other party surrendered in good faith, not to delay.

Judging from the opponent's request, the remaining Soviet troops were no longer tenacious in their will to resist. They lack ammunition, food, and the capital to persevere.

"If we surrender, are you willing to provide more information, such as the total amount of food remaining in the city, the location of food hoarding, ammunition and weapons, etc." He thought for a while and asked what he was interested in. topic.

"Of course, as long as we know the information, we can provide it to you." The Soviet officer replied without hesitation.

For him, the decision to go to the German command to discuss the surrender meant that he had no intention of returning to the Soviet Union.

Therefore, it is not a difficult choice to sell a little information and let the German army win faster.

"Okay! I accept your surrender, the signal and password, the work of handover, and all the specific matters, we can discuss in detail." Paul Hauser's face showed a smile, and he replied gracefully .
