Chapter 849 Manstein
In the Barbarossa plan launched by the German army, the German army's troops were unprecedentedly powerful.
On June 23, 1941, the German army dispatched more than 3.5 million troops, more than 20 armored divisions, with a total strength of about 200 divisions, and thousands of aircraft were dispatched together.
At that time, Manstein was just the commander of the 56th German Army, and was also affiliated with General Hopner's 4th Armored Army, which was also affiliated with the Northern Army Group commanded by Marshal Leb.
It can be said that Manstein, who has now become the commander-in-chief of the Central Army Group and merged with the Southern Army Group to become the commander-in-chief of the German Army Group, directly became the marshal and commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief of the army to kill the enemy in more than two years.
Manstein was also very satisfied and proud of his ability to achieve such brilliant achievements.
At least from a noble family, his current achievements are worthy of his artillery general, Edward von Levinsky, and his mother Helen von Shiplin.
However, because Manstein had a close relationship with General Fricky, the commander-in-chief of the Army, when this man and the Minister of War Marshal Blomburg were plotted by Goring and Himmler, he became the exclusion of people from Hitler's faction, especially William Keitel, who was known as the commander of the office of Hitler, who was the new chief of staff of the General Staff of the Supreme Command of the German Wehrmacht, was very unhappy to see Manstein get promoted and make a fortune, and he also liked to exclude Manstein.
Before Chen Yanlong successfully traveled through time, Manstein was always satisfied with the opportunity to enter the highest power center of the German Wehrmacht, and was also assigned by Hitler as an uncontrollable officer, which made him excluded everywhere.
If it weren't for Hitler's lack of capable staff officers when he invaded Austria, Manstein wouldn't have been able to jump from the post of the 18th Infantry Division in 1939 to become the chief of staff of the Southern Army Group commanded by General von Lundstedt, at the level of Lieutenant General.
Because he was considered by the German senior management as one of the rare talents to serve as combat staff when the military situation is tense and the war is fierce.
Even the Hitler faction and some German senior leaders who did not like Manstein could only temporarily reuse him.
However, at this moment, Manstein not only obtained the position of marshal because of Chen Yanlong's appearance, but also provided sufficient supplementary resources for his troops, as well as sufficient new weapons and equipment and military supplies to fight.
However, this is also when Chen Yanlong's smartphone is still there. Unfortunately, as Chen Yanlong's smartphone fell asleep, the new weapons and equipment that Manstein obtained, which was beyond the age, gradually became lacking.
Fortunately, Sperer was able to provide Chen Yanlong with the latest weapons and equipment during the Second Blasting Period and handed over to Manstein and the troops on the Western Front to fight.
It's just that there is no strong combat power and lethality of those new weapons and equipment that are super-age.
Of course, for Manstein, who is still relatively sufficient in military strength and weapons and equipment, his concern is not only about the increasing shortage of new weapons and equipment beyond the era, but also about the fewer and fewer veterans in his troops with rich combat experience.
Because a powerful army cannot be trained in a short period of time, especially the ace troops with rich practical experience.
At the same time, outstanding commanders and staff officers will not be able to appear out of thin air. These scarce commanders and staff officers with combat effectiveness will have a shortage of shortages and require longer training time than infantry and army.
"It seems that from today on, my troops will never be able to fight with new weapons and equipment. Otherwise, once these officers and soldiers rely on the new weapons and equipment that the head of state has improved, they will not be able to fight on the battlefield and win the battle without these new weapons and equipment!"
"I will never allow such a bad situation!"
When Manstein separated from combat staff Odors, he murmured to himself while patrolling the German deployment on other fronts casually, while thinking in his heart how to deal with the training of new weapons and equipment that is about to become increasingly short of, and murmured.
Finally, Manstein suddenly stopped, then looked up at the sky, and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the sky gradually changed from a clear weather to a cloudy and cloudy day, and the cold winter wind slowly blew.
"It seems that it will snowflakes again!"
"I have seen the weather on the Eastern Front, or the weather in Germany is much better!"
"I really hope this war will end soon so that I can take a vacation and go home to live a more mundane life!"
After a moment of silence, Manstein exhaled a warm and cold breath and muttered in a low voice.
"I wonder how Uta Siberi, Gisella and Rudiger are living now?"
And not long after, Manstein suddenly remembered his wife and muttered to himself with his children.
"And Giro, can you be safe in heaven?"
"I have already revenge for you!"
"And now I am fighting with the Soviet troops that killed you!"
Then Manstein closed his eyes again and muttered sadly.
After saying that, he tightened his military coat, and then went to inspect the deployment of troops on the battlefield again, and checked their combat casualties.
