Cyric suddenly realized that he was in trouble.
In the later generations, as an "expert" in World War II research, Cyrek could talk freely, evaluating various generals and evaluating battles after each battle. He said impassionedly, it seems that if he goes, he will definitely do it. Invincible.
But now, when he truly became the head of the empire, Cyric realized that he was facing a huge problem. He could not stay out of the matter. A big trouble appeared, and Cyric had to think carefully. One of his Commands are under tremendous mental pressure.
This is the problem of the southern route.
Under the German blitzkrieg, the Central Army made the most rapid progress. They have broken through Belarus and set foot on Russian soil. It seems that within a month, they can reach Moscow.
The Northern Route Army was the slowest progress in history, but now that Petersburg was destroyed by aerial bombardment, the Northern Route Army has also achieved a breakthrough.
Now, there is only South Road.
When the blitzkrieg began, the actions of the Southern Route Army were the slowest. This is not to blame Manstein, after all, Ukraine is too extensive.
At the time of the attack, it was obvious that the Three Route Army marched together, but now, it left a Kiev protrusion.
When the Soviet Union was purged, Cyrek only focused his attention on big figures like Tukhachevsky. At that time, he forgot some of the lower-level commanders. If he knew that there is today, then Cyrek would even be At every risk, the commander of the Southwest Front Army must be cleared out.
Admiral Kilbonos was one of the first senior generals to recover from the shock of the outbreak of war. Of course, this also had a lot to do with the depth of Ukraine's territory, and he did not specially arrange his forces at the forefront.
After the war broke out, he effectively took advantage of the depth of Ukrainian territory and deployed the four armies under his jurisdiction to defensively deploy each other, and even boldly counterattacked the flanks of Kleist’s armored corps.
Another reason is that the Ukrainian water nets are everywhere, which has brought a lot of trouble to the German offensive. Up to now, there has been an obvious protrusion in the south, where there are 1.5 million Soviet troops.
"Currently, the Southwest Army's troops still have some difficulties in realizing the task of encircling and destroying the main force of Kiev, so they now propose a sudden southward attack and first encircle and annihilate the Uman army. This plan is correct." The promoted marshal, as a general who has always played an important role in the military center of the empire, Keitel began his own analysis.
"There are too many defenders in Kiev. It is only operated by Manstein. It is somewhat difficult. First defeat Uman to reduce interference in the south, and then concentrate on besieging Kiev." Scherner also made a positive judgment.
It's correct to fight Uman first. The key is, what should I do after Uman is played?
As if he knew Cyric's concerns, Guderian was the first to propose a new plan.
"Now that the Central Army Corps is attacking Smolensk, the central group will use the same encirclement tactics to eat all the Smolensk defenders. At this time, Uman should also be taken down, Guderian The general proposed that the Central Army Corps go south, go straight to Kiev, and kill Kiev’s defenders.” Keitel continued: “General Guderian’s proposal is really unselfish.”
Now, the war of annihilation against the Soviet Union is of course focused on the occupation of Moscow. This victory is already beckoning Guderian, and it seems that Moscow is ahead of him.
But now, he resolutely proposed that the Central Route Army go south to Kiev, encircle Kiev, and eat the one million Soviet troops!
This requires much courage and wisdom!
Of course, this is just a proposal, and the final decision-making power lies in the base camp of Wolf's Den.
Back then, Hitler faced such a choice, but now, the same choice fell in front of Cyric.
At present, the straight-line distance between the central group and the southern group is 550 kilometers, and the entire Soviet Army Southwest Corps is in the triangle between the two German forces.
At the same time, the Soviets did not have any consciousness. They believed that their Central Army Group wanted to go straight to Moscow. If their Central Army Group went south, they would surely hit the Soviets by surprise. The Kiev Army would be annihilated by Germany. .
This made Cyric very curious, because Cyric knew well that in history, it was Marshal Lundstedt who proposed the Central Army to go south, and Guderian was firmly opposed to it.
Now, how did you change it?
Guderian actually gave up Moscow and wanted to attack Kiev first?
Many military strategists in later generations commented that it was a bad move for the Middle Route Army to move south, but now Cyric is facing such a choice.
"This should be something General Guderian is worried about." At this moment, Army Chief of Staff Model suddenly spoke.
"Relying on the offensive momentum of the Central Army Corps, General Guderian can quickly break through the Soviet line of defense ~www.novelhall.com~ to reach Moscow, but if that time comes, Moscow will definitely order the Kiev defenders to retreat, so General Guderian will be attacked on his back."
Guderian was not the commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army, but only commanded the armored forces. At that time, in Guderian's eyes, only Moscow was the meaning of blitzkrieg.
But now it's different. Guderian wants to command the entire Middle Route Army. In addition to quickly advancing into Moscow, he also has to consider the problems of his entire army.
What about his flanks when advancing into Moscow? The more than one million Soviet troops, if they retreat, would be a great threat to Guderian. Now, it is better to eliminate this threat to the bud, encircle the two sides, and kill the defenders of Kiev.
Now, Kiev’s garrison should be the largest corps in the entire Soviet army. Killing them will deeply attack the confidence of the Soviet army.
"That's why General Guderian is too unselfish, and he is willing to give up his achievements in fighting Moscow. Marshal Bock will definitely seize the opportunity." Keitel continued.
Marshal Bock? Cyric found out that he had only considered this difficult choice in history, and he had forgotten that it was different from history after all.
The Northern Army Corps has achieved a breakthrough. Now, the Northern Army Corps is also advancing rapidly to the south, heading straight for Moscow! In other words, compared to the historical situation, the cards in his hand are a hundred times better!
"I think that General Guderian is going to take advantage this time. He doesn't need to use the entire Central Army. He only needs to send a second tank cluster." Scherner also reacted, muttering.
Cyric's eyes were completely opened up, is this still necessary? of course not! ()
