Iron Germany

The headquarters of the German Army Group B, Marshal Guderian is discussing the current situation with several army commanders. When the German Army Group C aggressively attacked the Russian Southwest Front Army, several armies of Army Group B, as well as the slave national army controlled by them, also launched a fierce attack, and the Russian Western Front Army was retreating steadily.

It's just that the Russian Army's Western Front has strong troops, despite being surrounded by a large number of German troops. But it will take time for the German army to eliminate these Russian troops in the encirclement. Therefore, this also gave the Russian army more reaction time.

"Gentlemen, the progress of Marshal Rommel's side is very smooth. Under their attack, the Russian Southwest Front Army will not last long. Soon, Army Group C will hit the city of Moscow. Then, they Feint there, then go north, and cooperate with us and Army Group A to eliminate the Russian Western Front and Northwestern Front in one fell swoop." Marshal Guderian said with a smile.

This time the battle plan, the possibility of success is undoubtedly very high. Once successful, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the vital forces of the Russian army. At that time, it will undoubtedly be much easier for Germany to defeat Russia.

"Joseph should be shocked by Marshal Rommel!" Admiral Fedor von Bock said with a smile.

The other German generals also laughed. As one of Germany's main enemies, Russia's strength is undoubtedly very strong. However, such a powerful country is now on the verge of extinction under the attack of the German army. This makes these generals of the German army very proud. After all, all of this was done under their witness.

"It's good to scare Joseph, let him know that their strength is not enough to fight against the empire." Marshal Guderian said disdainfully.

For the generals of the German army, Russia dared to take the lead in declaring war on Germany and launching an attack. This was regarded by them as a provocation to Germany. Now, Germany has used its powerful military power to teach the Russians a lesson. For them, this is undoubtedly very relieved.

Of course, even if Russia does not take the initiative to attack, this war will still break out. After all, it is a national policy that Germany has already formulated to start a war against Russia and eliminate Russia. If Germany wants to dominate the world and maintain its world hegemony, it must defeat all the countries that threaten it. In this way, Germany's world hegemony can be stabilized.

"Gentlemen, Army Group C is about to launch an attack on the rear of the Russian Army's Western Front. Therefore, we also need to hurry up. Before that, try to eliminate as many Russian troops in the encirclement as possible and free up more troops. Troops come. In this way, after Army Group C launches an attack, we will be able to surround more Russian troops. If these Russian troops are allowed to slip away, once they flee back to Moscow, we want to destroy them, then Undoubtedly it will be even more difficult," Marshal Guderian said.

"Yes, Marshal!" All the generals said.

"However, Your Excellency Marshal, with the strength of us and the C Army Group, there should be no problem in solving the Russian Army's Western Front Army. However, it may be very difficult to eat up the Russian Army's Northwest Front Army. After all, C After the army group goes north, the Russians will soon guess our combat intention." Admiral Bock said.

Guderian nodded: "If the Russians guess it, they will guess it! Army Group A will also launch a fierce attack. At that time, the Russian Northwest Front Army will be entangled by them. Even if they can escape, then It's just a small part. Their main force will definitely be wiped out by us."

Although the German army's right uppercut combat plan is to eat up several fronts of the Russian army. However, that is ideal. If you really want to achieve it, it will undoubtedly be very difficult. As long as the main force of the Russian army can be eliminated in this battle plan, it will be very good. In this case, the German army's right uppercut combat plan this time can be regarded as a success.

The command of the German Army Group A, Commander Marshal Bromberg, also gave the order to attack. Although Army Group A has only three German armies and four armies from Finland and the three Baltic countries, its total strength is only 1.4 million people. However, the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Those troops from Finland and the three Baltic countries, after experiencing the previous battle of Ulyanovgrad, can be regarded as having experienced the baptism of war, and their fighting will and combat effectiveness have been changed by leaps and bounds. Although their real combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the German army, it is at least no worse than that of the Russian army. Even, it was able to compete head-on with the Russian army.

It is for this reason that after the German Army Group A launched an offensive, the Russian Northwest Front was under great pressure. A large number of troops were routed and surrounded.

General Kurochkin, Commander of the Northwest Front of the Russian Army, Lieutenant General Bogatkin, Political Commissar, and Lieutenant General Vatutin, Chief of Staff, kept asking Moscow for help. However, all they got in exchange were orders to hold their ground.

After the German C Army Group captured Podolsk, it began to quickly advance northward with a shock force composed of the 9th Army, the 16th Army, the 17th Army and the 18th Army.

The two armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions of the 9th Group became the arrows of this assault. The torrent of steel composed of more than a thousand tanks was enough to destroy any enemy standing in front of them.

In addition, the Russian army did not expect that the German army would send such a powerful force to attack north at this time. So much so that they were not prepared at all, and they did not have a well-organized army to defend. They could only watch hundreds of thousands of elite German troops break through the flank defense line of the Russian Western Front Army, and all the troops of the Russian Western Front Army. Surrounded in the west of Moscow.

After encircling the Western Front of the Russian Army, the advancement of the German Army Group C did not stop. Marshal Rommel left the 17th Army and the 18th Army to build a line of defense and strengthen the encirclement. At the same time, two Ukrainian armies were mobilized from Podolsk to the north for reinforcements. The German 9th Army and 16th Army continued to move northward, preparing to cut off the retreat of the Russian Northwest Front Army and encircle this Front Army.
