At the end of 1936, the 'Operation Barbarossa' drafted by German General Staff under the leadership of Chief of General Staff Field Marshal Manstein was officially submitted to the Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire.
Operation Barbarossa, that is, the attack plan against Buru. Oscar asked General Staff Headquarters to start drafting this plan five years ago. However, it has been revised many times according to changes in the international environment and changes in the military forces of Germany and other countries. This time, it was finalized. Once Oscar passes the review, when war breaks out with Buru, German military will implement this plan.
The Operation Barbarossa of this time and space is fundamentally different from the Operation Barbarossa of Führer of another time and space. Because, the strength of Germany in this time and space is more powerful, while the strength of Buru is much weaker. At the same time, Germany passed the integration of Europe, almost merging the entire power of Europe into one rope. Under such circumstances, once German military attacks Buru, more power will be invested. At that time, it will be very difficult for Buru to resist German offensive.
The only thing Oscar is worried about is undoubtedly the bad weather and traffic of Buru. Although, Europe most places are very cold in winter. However, Buru is even colder. In the cold winter, if there is no adequate preparation, a large number of non-combat casualties will inevitably occur due to frostbite. In that case, I'm afraid it will make the same mistake as Napoleon Bonaparte and Führer from another time and space. At the same time, the traffic situation at Buru is still very bad. Although, Buru West has built a complete transportation network with the assistance of Germany. However, traffic in Buru's hinterland is still terrible. It's not that Buru doesn't have the funds to build a transportation network, it's just that they are unwilling to do so. After repairing the railways and roads, German military followed the railways and roads directly into the hinterland of Buru. Therefore, bad traffic has been regarded by Buru as a powerful weapon against Germany.
Operation Barbarossa submitted by Field Marshal Manstein is mainly divided into five stages. In the first stage, German military used its powerful army and air force to severely damage or even destroy Buru's main army deployed on the western border. The main force of Buru was eliminated in one fell swoop and prepared for the second stage of the battle.
In the first stage, the main troops invested will be German military, and a small number of Protectorate troops. Because what we have to deal with this time is the main force of the Buru Army. Although after Great Purge, Buru Army's combat effectiveness dropped quickly. However, those standing armies still have strong combat effectiveness. Germany's Protectorate and the armies of other slave countries would probably have a hard time winning against these Russian armies. Therefore, German military must chew off this hard nut by himself. With the strength of the German Army, it will be very easy to complete this stage. After all, both German Army and the air force are much more powerful than the Russian army.
The second stage is the defensive stage. Once defeated in the early stages of the war, Buru will inevitably launch nationwide mobilization. At that time, Buru's huge population advantage will be able to be brought into play. They will mobilize very large armies. If German military continues to attack, bad weather and traffic will impose great constraints on German military, and even cause German military's casualties to further increase. At this stage, German military will mainly be on the defensive. At the same time, a large number of Protectorate and slave country troops were deployed on the defense line to let them compete with the Russian army.
When the main elite of the Russian army is almost completely lost, the combat effectiveness of the troops that will be mobilized later will not be that strong. With the strength of Germany's Protectorate and the army of the slave countries, even if they cannot defeat the Russian army in frontal combat, there is still no problem if they rely on fortifications for defense. In this case, the effective strength of the Russian army can be further consumed.
In the third stage, German military continued to attack. The focus will be on capturing big cities such as Moscow. And further annihilated the effective forces of the Russian army, thus completely changing the balance of strength between the two sides. In this phase of the battle, German military and the armies of various Protectorate and slave countries will become the main force. Because at this time, even though the Russian army is still large in number, its combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. It is estimated that many of the soldiers who have just been mobilized to join the army cannot even fire a gun. Even at this stage, Russia's heavy industry and military industry had been severely damaged by German Air Force's strategic bombing. Under such circumstances, the Russian army may have difficulty even equipping its troops.
In the fourth stage, with Germany's Protectorate and the army of the slave country as the main force, they continued to attack the hinterland of Buru. At this time, the combat effectiveness of Germany's Protectorate and the slave country's army was completely superior to that of Buru's army. To defeat Buru, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The fifth stage is the last stage. German military gathered powerful troops and defeated Ural Mountains and Ural River, completely destroying Buru. In fact, if Eastern European Plain is lost, Buru will have lost its development potential, and the threat to Germany will not be too great. Under such circumstances, Germany's main target can be placed on other enemy countries.
Oscar It took a full day to read the entire plan. It can be said that this plan understood his intention. German military In the battle against Buru, except that the first and third stages will be the main force, the remaining three stages are mainly auxiliary forces. The main force will be replaced by Germany's Protectorate and the armies of the slave countries. Although, their combat effectiveness is not strong. However, after German military eliminated Buru Army's main force, they were still able to deal with the Buru Army.
Besides, German Air Force will take to the air to fight as long as the weather conditions permit. Not only will it seize air superiority on the battlefield, but it will also provide air support for the armies of German military and Allied Powers. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for the Buru Army to counterattack.
Oscar After thinking about it carefully, he found that there were no omissions in the battle plan, so he signed his name on the battle plan.
This means that Operation Barbarossa has been finalized. Next, there may be some modifications to the plan, but basically it will not change.
"I hope we can succeed in one fell swoop this time!" Oscar murmured after putting down the pen.
