There is absolutely no problem in launching an attack step by step according to the original battle plan and relying on the strength of German military to defeat the Russian army step by step. However, that takes a lot of time. At the same time, German military's casualties probably won't be too small.
If there is no threat from other enemies, it is undoubtedly very appropriate to proceed with this combat method. But the problem now is that United States, another strong enemy of Germany, is more and more likely to participate in the war. United States is a world-class power second only to Germany in terms of industrial and military strength. Without the restraint of other countries, Germany has enough strength to defeat United States. However, now Germany has put a lot of effort into Pacific Theater on the Buru battlefield. This makes it impossible for Germany to concentrate its efforts on United States. Therefore, in order to better deal with the threat of Americans, Germany must win on other battlefields as soon as possible.
Pacific Theater is too far away from German homeland, and Germany's investment is also very limited. Therefore, it is almost impossible to end the war there quickly. Only on the Buru battlefield can Germany have hope of ending the war quickly. Even if you can't defeat Russia in a short time, you can at least seize the opportunity to severely damage Russia. In that case, Germany can gradually draw its troops away from Russian front.
When Buru has suffered heavy losses and its combat power has been greatly reduced, Germany only needs to leave a small number of troops on the Buru battlefield, with the army of the slave country and Protectorate as the main force, to defeat Russia. In that case, Germany's main combat power can be devoted to the battle against United States.
"Chief of Staff, if this plan succeeds, then after we capture Moscow, Buru won't have much power to fight against us. We can even defeat them quickly." Marshal Blomberg said.
Field Marshal Manstein nodded.
"If we can kill Joseph in the battle to conquer Moscow, then it is very difficult to say how many of the remaining people are willing to continue fighting us when Buru is leaderless. It is not impossible to even seize the opportunity and destroy Buru in one fell swoop." Marshal Guderian said.
"My marshals, do you think this combat plan can be successful?" Oscar spoke.
In fact, Oscar also attaches great importance to this battle. After all, if German military can really eat the Russian army's Southwestern Front, Western Front and Northwestern Front Army, then they will eliminate more than five million Russian troops. Although the Russian army is still frantically expanding its troops, these five million elites are definitely the main force of the Russian army. Once they are killed, Russia will suffer heavy losses. If German military can win again against Moscow and Yuzefgrad. Then, the main force of the Russian army was almost wiped out by them. Even Russia can arm millions of mobs. But for Germany, there is no longer any threat. Germany can easily destroy Russia.
"Your Majesty, the possibility of the success of this plan is still very high. At least, if Army Group C quickly defeats Russian Southwestern Front Army, there will be no big problem. Once we quickly advance towards Moscow, it will inevitably cause tension in the Russian army. At that time, the army of the slave country will be left to defend the Russian army in the direction of Moscow, while our main force will quickly There is no problem in being pushed forward and cutting off Russian Western Front Army's escape route. However, it is hard to say whether Russian Northwestern Front Army can be left behind. After all, once. Russians is aware of our combat intentions, and they will most likely order Northwestern Front Army to retreat quickly and retreat to Moscow's defense," Marshal Rommel said.
"Yes, it is indeed possible. Therefore, when Army Group C launches an attack, Army Group B and Army Group A also need to launch a large-scale attack to entangle your enemies. Once the Russian army retreats, their defense lines will collapse. In this case, even if they see through our combat intentions, not many troops can safely withdraw." Field Marshal Manstein said.
It would undoubtedly be difficult to eliminate all three Russian fronts in one fell swoop. But as long as the main force can be eliminated, German military will be very satisfied. After all, the next step is to gather the army and launch Encirclement Offensive towards Moscow.
"Chief of Staff, don't forget that in addition to the Russian Northwestern Front Army, Western Front and Southwestern Front, there is also Reserve Front Army in the Moscow direction. Once we launch a fierce attack, this front army may also participate." Marshal Guderian said.
Field Marshal Manstein nodded and looked at Marshal Rommel.
"If the Russian army's Reserve Front Army joins the war, let's see if Army Group C has the strength to defeat them in one fell swoop. If the Russian army's Reserve Front Army can be severely damaged, then the Russian army's troops guarding Moscow will be further reduced. This is also very beneficial to us." Field Marshal Manstein said.
"If the Russian army Reserve Front Army joins the war, Army Group C can also defeat it!" Marshal Rommel said confidently.
"My marshals, this would be the best. I believe that this plan will be successful!" Oscar said with a smile on his face.
"Empire will win!" Several marshals looked confident.
"Your Majesty, give this plan a name." Field Marshal Manstein said.
"Let's call it Right Hook Plan! I hope our right hook can pose a fatal threat to Russia." Oscar blurted out.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" several marshals replied.
Three Army Group's Commander quickly returned to the front line, and then began to prepare to implement Right Hook Plan.
On April 25, German military's right uppercut was officially implemented. German military Army Group A, Army Group B and Army Group C all launched a fierce attack on the Russian army.
Especially Army Group C's Armored Forces, six Armored Division and 12 Mechanized Infantry Division, like sharp knives with the same handle, stabbed at the Russian Southwestern Front Army.
In the previous battle, Russian Southwestern Front Army had already suffered heavy losses. When the request for help failed, they could only rely on a small number of troops to resist German Army Group C's attack. It is natural to imagine what the result of this will be.
