Iron Germany

When the German army closed the encirclement of Moscow and Josephgrad and stepped up its attacks on these two cities, the German army that captured Joseph also rushed on the vast Eastern European plain.

Two armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions formed a huge arrow, as if they were going directly across the Eastern European plain.

In order to prevent the German attack, the Russian army had to mobilize troops to stop the German army. However, their fate was easily torn apart by the German armored forces.

After three days in a row, the German army was only 150 kilometers away from Nizhny Novgodero. According to their advance speed, it only takes three days for the German army to advance to the city of Nizhny Novgodero.

In a simple headquarters, Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner, chief of staff of the German Ninth Army, was discussing the current situation with several division commanders.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Russians are right in front of us, and once again stopped two army groups, with a strength of about 200,000 troops. In addition, on our right flank, there is also an army group approaching. According to the information obtained by the Air Force investigation, the Russian army More troops are also gathering in Nizhny Novgodero," said Major General Olge Lindemann, commander of the 9th Armored Division.

Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner nodded, although the main force of the Russian army has been surrounded by the German army in Moscow and Josephgrad. However, the Russian army still has a very large force. After they invaded the hinterland of Russia, they would inevitably be besieged by the superior forces of the Russian army.

It's just that the combat effectiveness of these Russian troops is limited, and it is difficult to pose too much threat to the elite German army.

The two armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions of the German army advanced all the way down, and they have defeated the Russian army's interception many times.

"We are not far from Nizhny Novgodero. According to the information we have obtained, Joseph is very likely to be near Nizhny Novgodero. In other words, after the train he was on was blown up, he had to use Other ways to go to Nizhny Novgorod. Our intelligence personnel in Russia have been paying attention to this information. However, there is no news yet. Therefore, we must rush to Nizhny Novgorod as soon as possible Dro, and captured there. Then centered on Nizhny Novgorodrow, searched for Joseph in all directions!" Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner said.

Several division commanders nodded again and again, and they all believed that they must hit Nizhny Novgodero as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Joseph escapes there and continues to escape eastward by train or car, it may be difficult for the German army to catch up.

After all, although the armored and mechanized troops of the German army advance very fast, they have to fight the Russian army from time to time, so the speed is naturally not as fast as Joseph, who is determined to escape. Moreover, due to the impact of logistical supply lines and the loss of weapons and equipment, it is impossible for these two armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions to fight eastward to Kazan, or even through the Ural Mountains. Their attack limit is near Nizhny Novgodero.

"Contact with the Air Force, let the Air Force send fighter planes to support us, and continue to bomb the Russian army. Then, the ministries will speed up the advance, and after three days, they will definitely advance to Nizhny Novgodero!" Erich Hoppner The lieutenant general ordered.

The Luftwaffe had been providing air support to the Germans since their offensive. Not only did it bomb the Russian army blocking the German army in real time, but it also expanded the scale of the bombing to those Russian troops who started to gather.

Once the Luftwaffe found signs of Russian military build-up, it would bomb it, thus delaying the Russian military build-up time and buying more time for the German military. This made the resistance encountered by the German army much smaller. Otherwise, the advance speed of the German army will definitely be affected even more.

"The 83rd Mechanized Infantry Division and the 84th Mechanized Infantry Division are responsible for deliberate defense and crush the Russian army in the shortest possible time. The 9th Armored Division, the 99th Armored Division, the 81st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 82nd Mechanized Infantry Division, Continue to move forward and defeat the two Russian armies standing in front of us." Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner continued to order.

"Yes, Your Excellency Chief of Staff." Several division commanders replied one after another.

Although, the Russian army has an absolute advantage in military strength. However, when the main force of the Russian army has been surrounded or eliminated, most of these second-line forces are newly formed forces. Not only are they low in combat effectiveness, but their equipment is also very backward. In the face of the attack of the German armored forces, it is often vulnerable and collapsed at the touch of a touch.

In Nizhny Novgodero, the leaders of the Russian government agencies who evacuated here first, are holding a meeting anxiously.

"Marshal Shaposhnikov, is there still no news about Comrade Joseph?" Andreyev asked.

"Comrade Andreyev, there is no news yet." Marshal Shaposhnikov shook his head.

"Could it be that Comrade Joseph has been killed?" Zhdanov said.

"Impossible. If Comrade Joseph has been killed, Comrade Voroshilov will definitely contact us." Marshal Shaposhnikov said.

"Have all their radio stations been destroyed?" Kaganovich asked.

"This is unlikely. The 4th Guards Infantry Division not only has one radio station, but also has many spare radio stations. It is impossible for all radio stations to be destroyed." Marshal Shaposhnikov said.

"Then what's going on?" Kalinin asked.

Marshal Shaposhnikov hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Perhaps Comrade Joseph thought his whereabouts had been leaked, so he turned off the radio on his own initiative, so as not to leak his whereabouts again!"

A group of members of the Russian Politburo suddenly looked a little unhappy. They all knew that Joseph suspected that there was a traitor in the top Russian ranks. Even the top Russian officials were suspected.

"Then what should we do now? The Germans are getting closer and closer to Nizhny Novgodero, and our army can't resist the German attack at all. If we wait any longer, the Germans will soon hit Nizhny Novgodero." Novgodero." Mikoyan said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, we can't just watch the Germans fight all the way to Nizhny Novgodero, can we?" Molotov also said.

Marshal Shaposhnikov couldn't help frowning.

Although, when Joseph monopolized power, these Russian Politburo members did not dare to question Joseph at all. However, Joseph is now missing, and these guys jump right out. Moreover, although Marshal Shaposhnikov is the chief of staff of the Russian army, his status in the party is not as good as these people.
