Chapter 1119
Chapter 1119
Riding in a tank, he entered Budapest in a grand manner.
At this moment, Zhukov was extremely proud and proud!
Budapest, one of the two capitals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was a place that the Russian Empire wanted to conquer throughout its life.
However, the Russian Empire at that time never managed to do this!
But today, here, Zhukov did it!
Zhukov was extremely proud when he thought about how he had easily accomplished a feat that many predecessors could not accomplish.
“These Hungarians are still as vulnerable as the Austro-Hungarian Empire back then!”
Back then, on the Eastern Front, the Russian army once beat the Austro-Hungarian Empire to pieces.
At that time, their predecessors might have also advanced with such pride in their hearts!
However, in World War I, the Russian Empire was never the opponent of the Second Empire. Although they defeated the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after the German army joined the battle, the Russian army was immediately beaten back to its original form. After losing millions of troops, they never took a step to the West again.
At this moment, Zhukov was walking on a path almost the same as his predecessors!
He also easily solved the Hungarians who blocked the road, but he had to face the counterattack of the Third Reich, which was even more dangerous!
If they could not defeat the German army on the front battlefield, then all the victories they had achieved before would be in vain!
Thinking of this, Zhukov calmed down.
He knew that it was not time to celebrate yet. They had not yet met the German army. Before the two sides decided the winner, it was still difficult to predict the outcome of this battle.
“Are there any moves from the German side? We are making such a big noise, the German side should have started to move, right?”
The Third Reich’s army is strong and has many famous generals.
Zhukov did not mean to underestimate the Third Reich at all, and he firmly believed that someone in the Third Reich must have seen his intentions at this moment and knew his purpose and intentions.
So the German army should appear soon, and it won’t be long before they will have a direct contact with the German army.
“Well, according to the intelligence from the country and the information we got from the prisoners, it is now confirmed that three German armies are approaching us!”
Sure enough, the Third Reich’s actions were really fast!
However, sending out three armies at the same time to encircle him was somewhat beyond Zhukov’s expectations.
He thought that as an existence that was invincible, the German army should be very confident in its own strength.
And this time, he brought almost all new recruits, with little combat experience and no fame.
In this case, the Third Reich might send a small number of troops to fight the Soviet army because of despising him.
And if this happened, Zhukov would definitely accept this gift with a smile.
He has more than one million troops in his hands, and it may be very difficult to deal with three armies at the same time, but if he only needs to deal with one of the army groups, it will be very easy!
However, the German army’s caution exceeded his expectations, and the other side did not give him the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Thinking of this, Zhukov felt a little annoyed and asked:
“So where did these three armies arrive at, and which one was closest to us?”
Since they couldn’t destroy the German army, they would seize the opportunity to strike hard at the German army that was the most advanced.
Although they might not be able to defeat this German army, they could still use the time difference and their huge advantage in manpower to destroy part of the German army or severely damage one of them.
“The closest to us is Guderian’s First Army!”
“Is it him?”
This news was really a bit unexpected!
Guderian’s name is really well-known!
This man participated in almost all of the Third Reich’s foreign wars. He participated in the three German-Polish Wars, the Gallic Campaign, the British Battle of the British Empire, and the North American War!
Countless enemy troops fell to him and his First Army, and the total number of troops defeated by them is probably more than five million!
Guderian’s glorious military exploits were won in one tough battle after another.
Such a legendary general in the minds of contemporary soldiers suddenly appeared around him and was about to fight with him. This made Zhukov excited and worried.
He had never fought with Guderian, so he didn’t know how strong the opponent was.
However, the opponent The brilliant record in the past told him that this guy was definitely not easy to deal with.
In addition to Guderian, Zhukov dared not underestimate the First Army under his command.
The combat effectiveness of this army is terrifying!
If we were to select the most powerful army in the world, I am afraid that all countries would vote for the First Army of the Third Reich.
And there is no suspense!
Because so far, there is no second army in the world with such a brilliant record.
Not to mention the defeated countries, even within the Third Reich, the record of other armies is far less brilliant than that of the First Army.
Facing such a combination of elite soldiers, Zhukov was shocked. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.
But I don’t know why, after being afraid, he became excited!
“Where is this army currently stationed, and how far is it from us?”
The strongest army?
A famous general of the time?
Very good, we are fighting against famous generals, against the elite!
If we only kill some small soldiers and crabs, how can we show our strength?
Only by defeating powerful enemies like Guderian and the First Army can we highlight our strength.
Therefore, Zhukov made a decision almost in an instant: he was going to fight Guderian’s army!
Moreover, he also wanted to strive to annihilate this army, give the whole world a surprise, and let everyone see that the strength of the Russian army is not inferior to Anyone’s!
Guderian, who was still staying in Vienna at the moment, didn’t know that he had been targeted. He was now worrying about the map.
The Führer ordered him to wait for friendly forces and not to march into Budapest without authorization, which made him dare not act rashly.
However, waiting like this was really too impatient.
So, Guderian decided to find something to do! The
Führer only said that he was not allowed to enter Budapest, but he didn’t say that he couldn’t go anywhere else!
