Imperial Overlord

How long is the long 7 months? So long that Li Le, a transmigrator, began to think about whether he should try it or not, and go south to encircle Kyiv first.

It is no exaggeration to say that once Army Group Center, or just Guderian's armored group, went south, the Soviet front near Kyiv was completely over.

These units would be surrounded by German forces and then wiped out near Kyiv. The German army will, as in history, achieve the expected victory of Kyiv.

What is different from history is that although it takes 3 months, the Germans still have 4 months to attack Moscow, which is much more abundant than in history.

Therefore, before the senior German generals had considered the plan of going south, Li Le had already considered the feasibility of this plan.

You know, the 2 million Soviet troops in southern Ukraine are like fat on a chopping board, tempting Li Le all the time.

However, Li Le finally gave up this plan to go south, and he was on guard in his heart that he would choose the same path as Hitler, which would make him feel insecure.

Humans are such a strange animal. Once they know that a certain choice may fail, they will subconsciously resist this choice.

When he was making choices in his heart, Li Le also told himself time and time again that the situation was different now, and going south did not mean that he would definitely miss the opportunity.

But he still couldn't convince himself, and still resisted the choice of going south.

He prefers to directly capture Moscow, capture Moscow with the fastest speed, and defeat the core command node of the Soviet Union, and then consider other things.

Because not only himself, but also many German generals believed that capturing Moscow was the most effective option to end the war as soon as possible.

Whether it is Marshal Keitel, the chief of staff of the Supreme Command of the Führer, or Marshal Brauchitch, the commander of the Army General Command, they are all supporters of this view.

Both of them believed that once Moscow was captured, the Soviet Union would collapse and no longer pose a threat to Germany.

Most of the army's senior management support this view, because this view was put forward by the head of state and has been repeatedly demonstrated by the army's senior management.

Li Le was also a supporter of this view before, and he was also the proponent of this argument.

So, anyway, on April 17, 1941, almost a month after the battle between the Soviet Union and Germany, the German army passed Minsk, passed Borisov, and continued to advance in the direction of Moscow.

Karyus' Panzer 111 was still bumping on one of the few Soviet roads, and because they were the fastest advancing troops, the road under them was still smooth.

By the time the trucks pass by, and then enough horses and carts pass by, the road will collapse and become potholed, causing headaches for subsequent troops.

That's all later, the German armored troops charging at the forefront, the road ahead is smooth most of the time.

"Have you heard? Japan is at war with the United States." Through the radio, Captain Kent on the No. 112 tank in the distance was gossiping about the news he had just received.

The Führer's Minister of Propaganda, Dr. Goebbels, broadcasted on the radio about the war between Japan and the United States. He described the war as a distant and savage struggle.

In the mouth of the propaganda minister, the ongoing Soviet-German war is a duel like a knight; and the war between the United States and Japan is like a dog bites a dog.

Everyone regards this matter as something to talk about after a meal. The topic of today's conversation recently revolves around the distant war in the Pacific Ocean.

"Yes, I heard what was said on the radio... Japan and the United States are fighting, which may be a good thing for us." Another captain laughed before Karjus spoke. road.

"Do you think this is a good thing? Why?" Karius asked curiously.

The other party's answer was obviously a little unexpected, causing everyone to laugh: "This way I don't have to fire on the tattered American tanks and kill those idiots."

To be honest, for American tanks, most of the German armored forces on the Eastern Front have no concept.

Most of the tanks that the United States assisted the United Kingdom were sent to Africa and the British mainland, and did not appear on the battlefield on the Eastern Front of Germany.

However, this did not prevent those M2 and M3lee tanks from making a name for themselves in the German armored forces.

The backward performance and poor performance of American tanks made the soldiers of the German armored forces look down on them.

After all, compared with the Panther tank, the Americans have no advantage in the tank, and even the merits are rare.

"I think if the Americans dare to go to war with us, a tank from Kent will be enough to hit Washington." Although Karjus is young, he is famous as the number one tank ace of the German army and jokes with his comrades. , does not seem so restrained.

During the attack, Karjus had already destroyed 70 Soviet tanks, many more than Wittmann had destroyed.

Such a record brought him a very beautiful Iron Cross, and it was a Knight's Iron Cross.

To be able to get such a result, to put it bluntly, is not unrelated to luck: Wittmann is still behind, and it is impossible to improve his record casually.

Hearing Karjus' compliment, Kent was obviously very proud, and shouted to his company commander with a smile on the radio: "See if you don't see it, in the next battle, my record is estimated to reach 20!"

The German army has a tradition of cultivating trump cards. Among many troops, the record is actually concentrated on a few people.

However, this phenomenon does not exist in the 505th Independent Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, because almost everyone in this battalion is elite.

Up to now, this armored battalion has defeated at least 500 tanks and armored vehicles of various types of the Soviet army, and it is well-deserved first in the whole army.

"A suspicious village is found ahead. Maybe you should stop and rest, and then make plans when the infantry comes up." A German scout riding a motorcycle, with goggles passing by the tank of the 1st Company, loudly reported the situation ahead .

"Suspicious village?" Karyus asked the scout loudly as he looked at the scout.

The scout stopped the motorcycle, turned back to Karjus and shouted: "I saw a lot of Soviet infantry, maybe there are enemy tanks."

"Damn it! The Soviet resistance is getting more and more intensive." Hearing the scout's shout, Kent's complaint came through the earphones.

Karjus frowned, wondering whether he should be glad that he encountered the Soviet tank again, or should complain about his bad luck.

"It seems that our attack has made the Soviets feel a little uneasy." The voice of the company commander entered Karjus's ears through the earphones.

Now, the location of the 505th Independent Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion was the most sensitive area for Soviet troops who wanted to establish a new line of defense in Krupki.

Zhukov could not let this German force continue to cut into the deep hinterland of the Soviet Union like a spearhead.

Therefore, he can only choose the most effective way to stop the German advance: the way is very simple, that is to stop the German army and hit the German armored force as hard as possible.

In order to achieve this goal, Zhukov assembled the most elite armored forces he could find, and was ready to fight the German army to the death.

God knows how much he wants to stop the Germans from continuing to attack and stop these German armored units in place so that he can build a relatively stable line of defense.

Now that the Soviets had made up their minds to stop the Germans, Zhukov didn't mind throwing in heavy troops and gave the Germans a hard blow.

About 300 tanks were deployed in front of the German army, just waiting for the 505th Armored Battalion to come to the door.

So, near this little village whose name is unknown, another thrilling tank encounter kicked off.

On the offensive side was the German armored battalion with only 30 Leopard tanks left, and on the defensive side were two Soviet armored divisions with a total of 300 tanks.

"Maybe, we should go to the village to see how many troops the Soviets have deployed here." Leaning on the hatch cover of the tank turret, the company commander of the 1st Company raised his binoculars to look at the distant village and said. said.

"Erich! Keep the tanks moving! William... Check the ammunition, what's going on elsewhere!" As he ordered his men, Karius approached the enemy's position.

Across the bushes and fences, and the other end of a small field, Soviet soldiers were desperately digging trenches, desperately digging trenches.

Behind them ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the thick barrel of a KV-2 tank was carefully camouflaged, leaning on a pile of weeds, and could not see the shape at all.

The troops who came here are also the most elite armored troops of the Soviet Union. They also have certain combat experience, not to mention they also have various advanced tanks.

Not just a KV-2 with a company of over 10, they have a more powerful tank with 20 more.

As the track of the Panther tank pushed through the bushes in front of it, the Soviet tanks preferred to fire, and an encounter between tanks kicked off.

"Boom!" A shell fell directly in front of the Karyus tank, and the huge explosion suddenly awakened Karyus' memory.

As he retracted into the tank, ignoring the buzzing sound in his ears, he pressed the communicator on his throat and shouted loudly: "The other party has a KV-2 tank, be careful!"

Just after his shouting ended, the second KV-2 tank opened fire, and a huge explosion appeared around the German tanks, as if to remind everyone that the battle was hard. 8)
