Imperial Overlord

"The information on the movements of the Soviet army that was sorted out yesterday from the general army!" A staff officer handed the documents in his hand, as well as the photos taken, to Guderian, who was looking at the map and arranging offensive operations.

Guderian has a very beautiful beard, and his eyes are very smart when he smiles. He took the document from the staff officer and looked at the photo above.

The Air Force reconnaissance aircraft unit, part of German Army Group Center, provided a lot of reliable information.

For example, where is there really a railway, how accurate the map is, etc. The map of the nearby area in Guderian's hands was modified from aerial photos provided by the Air Force.

If it is the previous map that has not been modified, Guderian may not be able to correctly find the position of Tula he wants to attack.

When he saw the first photo, Guderian was stunned for a moment. Along the railway line in the photo, it was obvious that there were traces of troops being transferred.

"There is probably a division left and right in the transfer, the train and the armored train, it seems that the direction is the northeast" He pinched the photo, looked at it carefully, and muttered.

Then he opened the air force analysis document that was sent with him, which was similar to what he analyzed. A large number of Soviet troops withdrew from Moscow and went along the railway to the direction of Vladimir.

"The Soviets don't even have enough reinforcements, why do they remember to retreat?" the staff officer asked casually.

Guderian nodded and replied: "These troops are prepared to cover some people who are going to leave, such as government officials, or an agency leaving together."

After talking about this, he paused, and when he continued, he said a topic that interested everyone: "Maybe Stalin is in this team."

As a senior commander of the German Armored Forces, Guderian was a smart man among smart people. He made a casual analysis and knew that this Soviet army was not ordinary.

Stalin ordered not to allow any soldier to take a step back, so being able to retreat with so many troops at such an important time is definitely a big man beyond imagination.

The Soviet army was vigorously propagating that Stalin was with them in Moscow, so the high-level intelligence department of the German army analyzed that at least 3 days ago, Stalin was still insisting in Moscow.

That is to say, it is very suspicious that an important institution, or some important people, could leave Moscow when Stalin had not moved to retreat.

If the identity of the other party is really so high that Stalin can let them leave, then the value of these people is enough to attract Guderian's attention.

"If it weren't for Stalin himself, he would definitely be one of the most important national leaders." Guderian dropped the document and picked up the photo to identify it carefully.

The photos are not satellite photos of the 21st century, and can see some details clearly. In fact, a white line on the photo is the railway, and the large blurred shadows on both sides are the so-called enemy troops.

Guderian looked at his staff and asked, "What did the liaison officer of the Air Force say? Did they intercept the attack yesterday?"

"The Air Force said that because it was found that this team was outside the Moscow air defense circle, it was already very dark, so they had no time to attack." The staff officer replied.

Because there are a large number of anti-aircraft artillery near Moscow, the Luftwaffe rarely appears near Moscow, and they have no intention of attacking Moscow until now.

After all, the city is now in sight. The effect of artillery attack and large-scale bombardment, and the losses between the two, is more cost-effective than army shelling.

The Air Force was more willing to avoid Moscow's dense anti-aircraft artillery and slaughter the surrounding Soviet positions on the periphery, which was more tactically superior.

"I see. They deliberately left at night. Eighty percent of them are already in Vladimir." Guderian pinched his chin and thought for a while, then reasoned.

Then he looked at his secretary and said, "Let the Air Force bomb Vladimir tomorrow morning. It is estimated that there may be unexpected gains."

If it is a long-winded and cumbersome government agency group, then they will definitely take a break in Vladimir. After all, they have been on the road in the middle of the night, and they will easily be intercepted by the Luftwaffe if they continue to retreat during the day.

They will definitely wait until the night before continuing to move, so sending planes to air raids the next day, 80% will achieve certain results.

What makes Guderian even more satisfied is that Vladimir is not Moscow, a large turtle shell interwoven with complete anti-aircraft artillery.

Air Force air raids there, can be said to be a piece of cake. Just dispatch some Stukas or ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to complete the mission.

"Let the Air Force dispatch more planes. Since they are going to bomb, then give them a ruthless attack!" After Guderian gave the order, he looked at the map in front of him.

"Since they are going to be transferred, it makes no sense for them to go to Vladimir." Guderian looked at the map and continued to analyze: "They are just going to bypass the dangerous Tula and Ryazan, that's all."

"Indeed, it doesn't make sense for them to move in the northeast direction, and then they will inevitably go south!" The chief of staff nodded, stroking along the railway line on the map, and finally touched the vicinity of Gorky.

"This is not a good route to retreat, so they will definitely not go this way!" The chief of staff walked down the map and said, "They chose the direction of Ryazan."

"We are too close to the direction of Ryazan, they dare not." Guderian laughed. This retreating Soviet army provided too much interesting information.

For example, since they did not dare to go near Ryazan, it means that the Soviet army did not have many troops near Ryazan.

As long as Guderian breaks through the Soviet defense line near Tula, it is possible to attack near Ryazan and complete the siege of Moscow from the southern region.

In addition, there are big figures in the Soviet army who left Moscow, which means that the Soviet army has no certainty to turn to Sko. In other words, it also means that the Soviet army is not dominant in the direction of Moscow.

"We still pose no threat to Vladimir, but we can try to attack the Ryazan area and scare the retreating Soviet troops!" Guderian pointed to the map and said.

"It makes sense! We can try Ryazan as our goal!" After hearing this, the chief of staff agreed.
