250 Timoshenko's Tactics

Li Xiaofeng seemed to be making a big deal. After all, Wufengjievic was just a little clever. Just warn him, why should he lock him up and review him? But Li Xiaofeng had his reasons.

"If you don't teach him a lesson, you can't get through the Politburo's qualifiers. If you don't teach him a lesson, you can't explain to Triandafilov and others. So he has to suffer a little if he is reasonable!"

It is easy to understand the Politburo's level. No one can tease the elder of the Politburo without paying the price. Knocking Wufengjevic is a political need. Otherwise, those of his level will begin to be lawless in the future. So what else can the Politburo talk about leadership?

As for explaining to Triandafilov, it was a bit inexplicable. What happened to Triandafilov? Wufengjevic could help him get things done, so he should read it. What else should I explain?

As mentioned earlier, Triandafirov and others are not fools. They didn’t know Wufengjievic’s cleverness for a while, but it does not mean that they can’t see through it for a lifetime. With their wisdom, after this period, they should react. What would their image of Wufengjievic at that time?

I'm afraid not only do you think that Wu Feng is better, but you will think that this person is too cunning and too sinister, so you should stay away from him next? This is also where Li Xiaofeng is most annoyed Wu Feng Jievic. If you don't do this little cleverness, you will die. This is because you lose the big picture!

So what should I do if I want to plug this loophole? The only way is to do a fake show and make a "ruthless move" against Wufengyevic. At that time, the feeling of Triandafirovs was completely different. They would think that the consequences were very serious. Look, even guys like Wufengyevic, who have a deep background, were almost peeling off a layer of skin. If it were us, then we should definitely drag them out to shoot a target, right?

In this way, they would not think that Wu Fengjievic was fooling them, but instead thought that Wu Feng was a friend and worthy of friendship. So this also determined that Wu Fengjievic had to suffer this hardship, the more miserable the better!

Having said that, Wufengjievic was also a mistake for his intelligence. If he did things honestly and did not use such inappropriate tricks, he would not have had this happen at all. This is a typical example of not committing suicide, he would not have died.

Not to mention the moldy Wufengyevic squatting in the dark room, his cleverness has helped Triandafilov a lot, at least Kiev's supply situation has improved. Originally, the logistics resources were completely monopolized by Tukhachevsky's main attack cluster, but now it has left a small hole in the feint attack cluster.

Timuxin's feint attack troops finally obtained a certain amount of fuel and ammunition supplies, and he finally didn't have to sit there and stare blankly. However, this amount of supplies alone was far from enough, so Timuxin also took the initiative to do so.

"If we try our best to get fuel and ammunition, especially fuel. Without gasoline and diesel, our cars and tanks are just iron coffins, and we can only watch the brothers in the north do nothing. So, from now on, everyone must take action and try every means to solve the fuel problem!"

Timusinge and his commanders immediately set an example by example. For example, Timusinge himself, every time he went to the front command center in Priluki for a meeting, he would fill up the fuel tank of his car when he came back. As for his subordinates, he followed suit and tried every means to get fuel from Priluki's main attacking troops.

Later, driven by the generals' role as a model, the soldiers also started to mobilize. Groups of soldiers began to steal fuel from their brothers, secretly drain the fuel tank, or cheat the oil under various guises. The brave ones simply intercepted the oil tanker and pulled it directly into the camp. In short, the methods were full of tricks and became more and more crazy.

Until Tukhachevsky broke out: "Let's check immediately, who is stealing military supplies? You must catch this thief!"

However, Tukhachevsky's order was useless. Who made this Ukraine and the base camp of the Ukrainian Front? What's more, Triandafilov was still "sympathetic" with the situation of Shaposhnikov and Temuxingo, changing directions and giving the green light to their theft.

In short, in mid-March, when the main attacking cluster, which was highly anticipated by Tukhachevsky, once again hit a nail in the direction of Priluki, Shaposhnikov and Temuxingo felt that it was their turn to appear. The plan of these two people was quite simple, which was to find the weakest point on the German defense line and then decisively invest all their troops to fight.

So what was going on the battlefield at this time? The main force of the German Southern Army, that is, the 11th Army in charge of besieging the east of Kiev and the 17th Army, who came to reinforce, were completely attracted by Tukhachevsky's main attack troops, and most of the German troops were transferred to that direction. At this time, the force besieging Kiev was quite weak, leaving only the two armies of the 6th Army of the German Army, as well as the Hungarian and Yugoslav Soy Sauce Party.

These troops have a total of about 20 divisions, of which only 9 of the German army. This is not a small number, and 20 divisions are considered to be 340,000 small. The forces of the 9 divisions of the two armies in the feint attack cluster seem to be unable to chew.

However, the accounts cannot be calculated like this. The 20 divisions have a lot of troops, but they must maintain the encirclement of Kiev. You must know that the Red Army has more than 10 regular troops in the encirclement, and a considerable number of militias. 20 divisions are responsible for the siege. To be honest, this is already very thin. It is really not enough to spread it in the huge Kiev area!

The Red Army is different. Although Timuxinge's feint attack force only has 9 divisions of troops, his strength is concentrated, and the overall number is not as good as that of the German army and its puppets, but it can be formed in some areas to fight less. Unless the German army ignores Kiev and can deal with him wholeheartedly, it is difficult to say who wins and loses.

At noon on March 12, when the German army was about to have lunch, Timuxin Ge's attack began. The reason why he chose noon instead of dawn was very simple. Timuxin Ge believed that the German army had become accustomed to the Red Army's attack at dawn. This period of time was no longer the time when the German army was least vigilant, so Timuxin Ge deliberately avoided dawn and chose to attack at noon.

Timuxinge chose the right time. The German army was indeed confused. They habitually thought that as long as the Red Army did not launch an attack at dawn, the generals and ministers would be safe in the next day. Who would have thought that at this moment, the Red Army suddenly slashed and slashed.

After thirty minutes of artillery fire, Tiemushin immediately threw in the infantry. Under the cover of a small number of T-34s, the Red Army infantry quickly moved closer to the German position, and then fierce battles were inevitable.

In front of Temuxinge were the 17th Army and the 55th Army of the 6th Army of the German Army. The 17th Army had three infantry divisions. Among them, the 50th and 62nd Infantry Divisions were responsible for the defense front line, and the 298th Infantry Division acted as a reserve. The 55th Army had relatively weak combat power and only had two infantry divisions (75th and 111th Infantry Divisions).

As soon as the battle broke out, the 17th Army and the 55th Army felt very tight. Five infantry divisions were completely suppressed by the 9th division of Tiemxinge, and the defense line was at stake.

"The situation here is tense, and the enemy has invested at least three armies to attack. I need reinforcements, and reinforcements!"

However, for the commander of the 6th Army, the 6th Army, the Field Marshal Walter von Reichenau (please note that this man was in a state of history in January 1942. His successor was Paulus, who later became "famous"), he could not withdraw his troops to reinforce the 17th Army and the 55th Army. The reason is very simple, the 6th Army's strength was very tight.

The group army has four armies under its jurisdiction, but the 17th and 55th armies are responsible for the encirclements east and south of Kiev, and the 29th armies are responsible for the west of Kiev. The 44th armies with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most powerful force (the army has four divisions under its jurisdiction), are not in Kiev, but in Kremenchurg, downstream of Dnieper.

At this time, the army group can actually command three armies, and two of these three armies are still dissatisfied (the 29th Army and the 55th Army have only two divisions), which means that the army's actual combat effectiveness cannot reach the level of a standard army. This is also an important reason why the siege work in Kiev was handed over to them. After all, the 17th Army has stronger combat power and must be hard-pressed to the main attack group of the Red Army.

Speaking of which, it is really a tragedy. This army group has four armies, among which only the 17th Army and the First Tank Cluster, which is considered to have strong combat effectiveness (the first tank cluster is actually a slack compared to Guderian's second tank cluster, and its equipment is much worse).

Now, the first tank cluster has been drawn away, and the Southern Army Group has the strongest combat power left. When the 17th Army was firmly dragged by the main attacking troops of the Red Army, the remaining ones are really weak, whether it is Manstein's 11th Army or Reichnau's 6th Army.

Zhukov's armored troops had achieved success on the 6th Army, attracting Valechenau's 29th Army. What do you think he used to reinforce the 17th Army and the 55th Army that were besieged? Could it be that those unreliable Romanians, Hungarians and Yugoslavs would fill in the pit? If you really want these pig teammates to help, you will probably have to help you.

Therefore, Reichnau could only let the 17th Army and the 55th Army resist, and on the other side called the 29th Army to ask about Zhukov's situation. Why did Reichnau ask about Zhukov's situation? The reason is very simple. If Zhukov had any action, then the 29th Army, which had only two infantry divisions, would definitely not be able to withstand it, and reinforcements would definitely be needed. The only one who can reinforce the 29th Army is the 168th Infantry Division and the 213th Guard Division, which is directly under the command of the Army Command. Among them, the 213th Guard Division can only be regarded as a reduced light infantry division, with limited combat power. The only one that can be used is the 168th Infantry Division.

Reichenau felt that if Zhukov's mechanized army had no action, he would transfer the 168th Division to reinforce the 17th Army and the 55th Army. Otherwise, he would have to let the 213th Guard Division go to rescue the emergency.

So did Zhukov move?

No, to be precise, there is no yet. His mechanized troops seemed dead, and all the tanks and cars seemed to have kidney deficiency and looked like impotence.

Soon Reichnau received a report from the 29th Army. After careful reconnaissance, the army believed that Zhukov's mechanized army was seriously lacking in fuel and that its tank troops had not started the engine for several days in a row. According to the 29th Army, "The enemy troops exhausted all their fuel in the last assault operation and had lost the ability to continue attacking. They could only rely on defense. It is unlikely that they would pose too much threat to our army!"

This report made Reichenau breathe a sigh of relief. Zhukov's fierce rushing and striking a while ago made him suffer a lot. He almost suffered a heart attack for a while. Zhukov was not honest all day long, but he had no idea here for a day. At present, Zhukov's troops were seriously lacking in fuel, otherwise the Red Army on the outside would not launch an attack alone, and it seemed that he could transfer the 168th Division.

The 168th Division was quickly transferred away. After receiving reinforcements from the division, the pressure of the 17th Army and the 55th Army was reduced. But after the sky came, Timuxin Ge suddenly increased the attack strength again. The 9 divisions devoted all their efforts, and the huge pressure once again made the 17th and 55th Army breathless.

"We still need reinforcements?" Reichnau's old face was like a bitter gourd with bitterness and old age, and that was ugly. Now he only has the 213th guard division on hand. If he throws this division in, once Zhukov takes action, what will he use to fill the hole?

Reichnau subconsciously rejected the request and ordered very seriously: "There is no extra force, you can only rely on the existing strength to maintain the defense line!"

The fierce battle lasted all day, and the defense lines of the 17th and 55th Army of the German army were gradually eaten up, but no matter how these two armies complained, Reichnau was unmoved and refused reinforcements.

"This old guy is so calm!" Brother Timuxin grinded his teeth hatefully.

Yes. His plan was very simple, to put pressure on the 17th and 55th Army of the German army, forcing Reichnau to suppress all the reserves. When the main force of the German army was completely attracted, Zhukov's mechanized troops immediately entered and defeated the 29th Army in one breath. At that time, it was difficult for the German army to not collapse.

But now, Reichnau is not fooled, just watching quietly as the 17th Army and the 55th Army are besieged, and not sending the final reserve team up.

At this time, a staff advised: "Comrade Xie Miao Konstantinovich, considering that the combat effectiveness of the 213th German Guard Division is relatively low, with the combat effectiveness of Comrade Zhukov's mechanized troops, even if this division tops it, it cannot stop the final failure. Can you consider letting Comrade Zhukov launch an attack?"

Brother Temuxin shook his head: "You don't understand! You can't do this. Let the troops strengthen their offensive. You must transfer the 213th Guard Division away. In addition, Comrade Zhukov must continue to confuse the German army with illusions. Without my orders, a car or a tank is not ready to move!"

Why is Temuxin so stubborn? In theory, the opinion of that staff officer makes sense. Isn’t it just a guard division? It’s too easy to defeat it.

But Temuxin didn't think so. The last time Zhukov's armored troops suddenly attacked, the 6th German Army was in chaos and almost met with his main force. Why did it still fail in the end?

In addition to the lack of troops in the feint attacking force and the inability to keep up with the logistics supply, the German army's tenacity left a deep impression on him. It was precisely because of the joining of the 168th Infantry Division and the 213th Guard Division that offset the last sharpness of Zhukov's armored troops, thus stabilizing the battle situation.

From then on, Temuxin Ge decided that these two annoying divisions must be transferred from the 29th Army, so that Zhukov's troops could defeat the 29th Division in one breath and rush the 17th Army and the 55th Army with an indomitable momentum. In this way, they could break the deadlock in one breath and rush to rescue Kiev in front of the main attacking troops in the north.

Did you see that Temuxinge's mind is not just at the level of rescuing Kiev. He also wants to prove his ability, prove that their Ukrainian front is not a coward, and prove that Tukhachevsky made a big mistake. What is more slap in the face than using a weak force to rescue Kiev before Tukhachevsky's own son?

Therefore, Timuxin Ge was so cruel that he wanted to embarrass Tukhachevsky. Under his forced order, the feint attack troops on the periphery were really fighting, and they rushed forward and fought fiercely regardless of casualties, causing the German 17th Army and the 55th Army to complain.

For a time, Reichtenau was under great pressure. The 17th Army and the 55th Army even asked for help. Even the telegrams for help had passed by him and sent them directly to Longdested. Long Shuai had called him personally to inquire about the situation. Although Longdestedau did not say much and did not order him to reinforce the 17th Army and the 55th Army immediately, the invisible pressure made Reichtenau breathless.

Reichnau could feel his heart pounding, as if he could just open his mouth and that heart could pop out. However, as the Field Marshal, he was still a little capable. He thought something was wrong, so he still cared about my insistence and did not send reinforcements.

At this moment, it was a contest of willpower. Whoever couldn't bear it first would lose. The pressure on Brother Timuxin was not small at all. The divisions had already reported to him: "The army suffered a lot of casualties. After days of fierce fighting, the soldiers' physical energy consumption had reached their limit. I requested to stop the attack and take a short rest!"

But Timuxin refused all these requests, and he only said one sentence: "Without my order, no attack is allowed!"

In the face of the pressure of Shanda, the only thing that made Temuxin Ge feel relieved was that Zhukov was able to calm down. When many commanders and division commanders asked him to let Zhukov's mechanized troops go into the attack, Zhukov did not say a word, firmly implemented Temuxin Ge's intentions, and unswervingly pretended to be grandson before the German army was trapped... (To be continued...)
