Chapter 182: The peak of the German army! The incredible victory is shocking!
Stand up slowly.
Yue Fei looked at the sky and recalled the unique battle formation of the Song Dynasty.
"I hope that future German leaders will not interfere too much with the generals on the front line."
"I also hope that when facing such a crisis, our Song Dynasty will not be like the one during the reign of Emperor Taizong."
Canopy.
The picture shows the result of the talks. Guderian was persuaded and the German army stopped attacking Moscow and instead concentrated on attacking Kiev.
The barrage also became active at this time.
"Little Mustache still loves micromanagement."
"This is no longer micromanagement, this is a large-scale operation, which directly changed the strategic situation of the entire battlefield."
"The Führer is such a jerk. If he hadn't given orders blindly, he might have taken Moscow directly and ended the Soviet-German War within half a year."
"Yes, if he hadn't micromanaged here, Germany would definitely have won."
"In fact, the big bearded man on the opposite side also micro-manages, or it can be said that micro-management is a common problem of the leader, but after a few waves of micro-management, the big bearded man knew that he was not good at it, so he stopped micro-managing blindly."
"And the Führer has been micromanaging the German army, making it very difficult for them to survive."
"Haha, is everything Hitler's fault? You really don't understand the economics of war!"
"Moscow is not as important as Ukraine, which is the important resource production area?"
"Even if Moscow is taken, the Soviet Union will not surrender! Steel will not surrender."
"That's right. Moreover, Moscow's defense is extraordinary. Even if we concentrate our forces to attack Moscow, we may not be able to defeat it!"
……
Discussion in barrage.
The sky continues.
[On August 25, Guderian led the armored forces to march south.]
【And Kleist also led his armored forces and desperately headed north to join Guderian.】
[Two powerful armored forces gradually formed a huge encirclement behind Kiev! ]
【Zhukov saw that the situation was not good and immediately suggested retreat.】
【But Stalin refused to retreat! 】
[Because Stalin was worried that if the Kiev Front's hundreds of thousands of troops retreated in the face of defeats everywhere, it would lead to another catastrophic defeat.]
[Let them hold their ground and fight the Germans with their fortifications. ]
【On the contrary, it can create a favorable situation for the entire battle. 】
【Zhukov and Stalin had an argument.】
[The final result was that Zhukov was withdrawn to the rear... of course only temporarily]
[On September 16, the German army successfully joined forces and completely surrounded Kiev. ]
[After a fierce battle, Kiev fell and the Soviet Southwestern Front lost more than 900,000 troops, almost being annihilated.]
[The German army captured 660,000 Soviet troops in one battle! ]
[The German army lost only 70,000 troops in the Battle of Kiev.]
[This Battle of Kiev is also the largest encirclement and annihilation battle in human history so far! ]
[When the Battle of Kiev ended, the Soviet-German War had lasted for about three months.]
[The Soviet Union’s military losses have exceeded three million people! ]
[A large area of the country fell, and the German army headed straight for Moscow! ]
[It can be said that the entire Operation Barbarossa achieved unprecedented brilliant results in the history of war! ]
[But it can also be said that Operation Barbarossa had already failed by the end of the Battle of Kiev. ]
[After all, Germany's original plan was to defeat the Soviet Union within four months and force it to sue for peace or surrender.]
[But the Soviet Union quickly emerged from the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Kiev and began to organize a decisive battle outside Moscow.]
[Although the Soviet Union was at a loss as to what to do at this time due to the German blitzkrieg.]
[In four large-scale battles, they were all surrounded and annihilated. ]
【In the Battle of Minsk, the Soviet Union lost 50 troops. 】
【In the Battle of Smolensk, the Soviet Union lost 76 people. 】
[In the Battle of Vyazma-Bryansk, the Soviet army lost 65 troops.]
[In the Battle of Kiev, 90 troops were lost! ]
[Combining these four major battles and other small and medium-sized battles, the Soviet army had lost more than 440 million troops before the Battle of Moscow!] [You should know that before the war, the total number of Soviet troops was only million, and the army on the Western Front was only million.]
[It can be said that by now, Operation Barbarossa has killed all Soviet troops.]
[There were even excess Soviet troops who were killed again after being resurrected by the Orthodox Patriarch.]
[But even so, Operation Barbarossa still failed despite its brilliant achievements. ]
[At least, there is no sign that the war will end within half a year.]
【After Sorge sent accurate information about the rapid deterioration of Japan-US relations. 】
[Hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in the Far East were being pulled back to Moscow at this time.]
[A decisive battle around Moscow will break out at the end of 1941.]
This concludes this video introducing Operation Barbarossa.
The ancients saw that Germany did not achieve the goal of defeating the Soviet Union in four months during Operation Barbarossa.
But see the great results they achieved within a few months of the war.
This exaggerated number still shocked the ancient people deeply.
Even Bai Qi, who had killed countless people in his life!
After seeing the exaggerated number of German casualties and prisoners counted in the millions.
I couldn't help but said with fear:
"The scale of this war between the Soviet Union and Germany is truly unprecedented!"
"Compared with this war, all other wars in human history pale in comparison."
"The German army showed their amazing fighting power!"
“But the Soviets were also very powerful.”
"The Soviet Union was able to mobilize such a large force to fight against the powerful German army. Although it lost, it was not an unfair loss."
"At least it's better than France before."
Yuan Dynasty.
Kublai Khan watched as the Germans cut through the Soviet army and killed millions of them.
Although I was shocked in my heart, I still expressed my unwillingness verbally.
"This kind of record of beating the Russian tribe was also easily achieved when my Mongolian army marched westward."
"Although the number of Russians defeated by the Mongols during their westward expedition was not as large as that of the German army."
"But the difficulty is no less than that of the German army!"
"Overall, it is clear that the Mongolian army is far superior to the German army."
"When will Tianmu tell us about our Mongolian army?"
tomorrow.
At first, Zhu Di just wanted to watch the fun.
At this time, he became completely serious.
"Annihilate 50, annihilate 76, annihilate 65, annihilate 90!"
"Horrible! What an extremely horrible war!"
"The Germans' fighting power was simply ruthless."
"In a few months, we will wipe out four to five million Soviet troops!"
"I can't even imagine this number!"
"How could anyone possibly do that?"
“But it actually happened.”
"And the Soviet Union suffered such a heavy blow that it lost almost all of its troops at the beginning of the war and lost the most valuable land in the country."
"Then they won't surrender?"
"How come their will to fight is so strong!"
"Compared with surrendering to France a month ago, it's completely on a different level!"
"Was the gap between the major belligerents so huge in the Second World War?"
Zhu Di was full of doubts.
Looking forward to seeing more follow-up content.
But today, the sky has gradually calmed down.
