Chapter 1148
Eastern Europe, the front line of the war, the side of the bear.
With the arrival of spring, the snow in the bear’s territory began to melt, and the roads began to become muddy.
At this time, the bear’s homeland is the safest, because the enemy’s vehicles will be stuck in the mud and unable to extricate themselves, so usually the enemy will not choose to attack them during this period.
And with the warm air blowing from the North Atlantic, the bear’s rainy season has arrived early, which further aggravates the degree of water accumulation and mud on the road, making it more difficult for vehicles and personnel to pass.
However, there are joys and sorrows!
Sooner or later, the rainy season will pass, and sooner or later, the snow in winter will completely melt, and the water on the road will gradually evaporate under the rising temperature. At the latest by May, the rainy season in the bear’s territory will be completely over, and by then, the road conditions will improve rapidly, and the passage of vehicles and personnel will no longer be a problem.
In other words, after May, they may be invaded by the enemy!
At the beginning of the year, many people in the bear’s country did not believe this prediction.
However, as the German army began to increase its troops in the border areas, and the strength of the coalition forces of European countries also began to increase rapidly, those who had originally had illusions in the bear country were all desperate!
What made them even more desperate was that Zhukov and his more than one million troops, who had taken the initiative to attack with elite troops in order to improve the passive situation of the bear, were trapped in the Carpathian Mountains by the German army.
And then, Rokossovsky and his army, who led the main force of the Eastern Front to rescue, were also defeated.
In just two months, the Soviet army lost a total of more than 2 million troops, more than half of which were new troops formed by Starling’s countless efforts!
After hearing the news that General Rokossovsky led his troops to surrender to the German army, Starling vomited blood and scolded Rokossovsky for being ungrateful, forgetting his promotion to him, and forgetting his loyalty to the country!
Starling was furious and ordered the KGB to arrest Rokossovsky’s family, intending to vent his anger on the other party’s family.
What he didn’t expect was that the Third Reich’s SS special operations team took the lead in taking the people away!
The KGB didn’t know when the other party took action, so there was no clue to track down, so they had to return empty-handed!
If the news that the army on the front line was defeated and annihilated only made Starling angry, then the German SS took Rokossovsky’s family away under his nose, and he could not leave any clues. This ability made him feel a little terrified!
Whose country is this, and whose home court is this?
Why is the SS so rampant, but the KGB has no way to deal with it?
Starling was completely angry, and he felt that his previous purge seemed to be completely ineffective.
I thought that through this purge, I could guarantee the safety and stability of the bear for decades, but I didn’t expect that in just a few years, the bear’s interior had been infiltrated like a sieve, leaking everywhere!
I’m afraid that the Third Reich’s layout had already begun a long time ago!
Otherwise, the SS would not have been so powerful in the territory of the bear!
“We must completely eliminate the enemies in the country. In addition, notify Timoshenko and Budyonny on the Eastern Front to immediately increase the level of combat readiness, dig the deepest trenches for me, build the strongest fortresses, and drag the enemy to the Eastern Front. We must not let them cross our border even a step!”
After losing the two main forces, Starling knew very well that it was impossible to defeat the coalition led by the German army in a field battle.
The German army is best at blitzkrieg. Once they find a breakthrough, the vast land of tens of millions of square kilometers of the Russian bear will be their racecourse!
Therefore, their only chance of winning is to keep the enemy out of the country and keep the enemy out of their own country!
The only way to do this is to build a Russian version of the Maginot Line along the border like the Gauls.
However, it is obviously impossible to build such a line of defense in such a short time. Not to mention that there is not enough time, the huge cost of building the line of defense alone is a huge cost. Funds, these are not what the Russian bear can come up with!
Therefore, Starling could only order the army to build a solid defense line as much as possible according to the combat standards, and then continue to throw people into this defense line, using the lives of soldiers as the cost to delay the German attack!
As long as they can drag it through the summer and into the autumn, when the weather turns cold, their crisis will naturally be resolved.
However, this period is easier said than done.
From May to October, there are a full five months for the German army to attack.
The famous Maginot Line could not stop the German army’s iron hoof. What effect can the defense line built by the Soviet army in a hurry have? I’m afraid only God knows!
……
“General Manstein, the Soviets on the Eastern Front have begun to build fortifications!”
The Soviets’ actions had long been under the close surveillance of the Germans. At this time, Manstein’s headquarters had moved to Königsberg in East Prussia, less than 100 kilometers away from the front line!
“Oh? Has it started? What’s the scale? How many people did they mobilize?”
Manstein was not surprised by the Russian bear’s move. After all, when Kesselring publicly accepted the surrender of Rokossovsky’s army of more than one million, he knew that this day would come.
Rokossovsky surrendered about half a month after Zhukov’s army was defeated!
He had planned to bargain with the Germans at first, but Kesselring refused to talk to him at all.
One of the two sides was trapped on the mountain, and the other was squatting below. After a long time, the Soviet army on the mountain could not bear it.
They had no logistical supplies, and the supplies they had carried before had long been exhausted. If they delayed for one more day, they would be hungry for one more day. Such a confrontation was obviously very disadvantageous to them. The severe famine finally made Rokossovsky’s mind clear up, and he He recognized the cruel reality and realized that he should not have any illusions about his current situation.
So he finally made up his mind to surrender unconditionally to the German army.
Although it was an unconditional surrender, Rokossovsky still made a private request.
He was worried that Starling would retaliate against his family after he surrendered, so he hoped that the German army could help rescue his family, and wait until they were out of danger before he led his army to surrender publicly.
Mainz agreed to this condition and gave the task to Heinrich.
