"Attention!"
"Salute!"
The soldiers, who were generally more than 1.85 meters tall and looked strong and burly, welcomed their leader with a uniform military salute.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu raised his left hand and returned a left-hand salute to the soldiers.
However, this casual action made the soldiers feel overwhelmed. The soldiers stuck out their chests high like a human-shaped wall, standing on both sides of the head of state and protecting him in the middle.
If someone had the intention to attack Princeps, these soldiers would not hesitate at all. They would all take the bullet for Princeps without caring about their own safety!
"How's the situation?"
Lin Yu was very satisfied with the soldiers 'reaction. He walked into the command center of the Supreme Command and asked General Zeitsler.
"Reporting to the head of state, our army has already set up a huge pocket in the Kursk region and successfully captured the enemy. The only gap is in the north!”
Zeitzler pointed the baton in his hand to the north of the Pena River, at the junction with the Neruchs River-Karhovier!
This was where the Soviet Union's Bryansk Front was concentrated. The Bryansk Front had just been dispatched from Furyshisko and was ready to take over the defense of the vacant area left behind by the Soviet Central Front.
The Bryansk Front Army had a force that was not weaker than the Central Front Army. It had jurisdiction over the 3rd, 61st, 63rd, 50th, 11th Army, the 11th Guards Army, the 3rd and 4th Guards Tank Army, and the 15th Air Force Army.
Their total military strength was as high as 1 million people!
This was a force that could not be ignored. Moreover, the appearance of this force was enough to break the balance of the battlefield!
Although the Soviets did not deploy the Bryansk Front to join the Kursk Battle, they had the intention of sending the troops into the battlefield once the situation on the front line was unfavorable.
Although the German army's pockets looked complete, they were not very thick because more than a million troops had been scattered. If the Bryansk army suddenly attacked from the north, the German defense line was very likely to be destroyed!
Once the German line of defense was defeated, the Soviets surrounded in the center of the Kursk battlefield could take the opportunity to break through. They could even counterattack and attack the German army after converging with the Bryansk army.
This was not impossible. In fact, it was very likely because in the original history, the Soviets had jumped out of the German pocket and gained the initiative in the battle!
"Have you assessed our chances of winning if this army joins the battlefield?”
After seeing the Bryansk army, even Lin Yu, who had always been optimistic, could not help but put away the relaxed expression on his face and replace it with a solemn expression.
The advantage of the Soviets was indeed a headache at times.
Although the Soviets were definitely not a match for the German army in a one-on-one battle, the German army was basically an elite unit. The number of people was relatively small, but their combat effectiveness was generally very strong. Their military accomplishments could be said to be the highest among the armies of the world in World War II, and there was no one else!
And the Soviets 'military quality was simply terrible. They were more like a group of temporary motley crew!
However, this motley crew had an extremely vast strategic depth, which allowed them to have the capital to fail. After dealing with the German army many times, this army had also grown rapidly. Although it was still not as good as the German elite, it was no longer the chaotic motley crew from before!
Moreover, the Soviets had an advantage that the German army did not have, and that was the advantage of numbers!
The population of Mao Xiong was more than double that of the Third Reich, which meant that the number of troops they could mobilize far exceeded that of the Third Reich!
Moreover, Mao Xiong's special system magnified their ability to mobilize. Almost all the adult males in their country between the ages of 18 to 55 could be mobilized to the battlefield!
And this was something that the Third Reich could not do!
So from the outbreak of the war in 1941 until now, even though the German army had won successive victories on the battlefield, such as the Battle of Kichisuke, the Battle of Kharikov, and other huge victories, they had wiped out millions of Soviets and captured more than five million Soviets as prisoners of war. The total number of Soviets defeated by the German army had exceeded ten million!
However, after suffering such a huge loss, the bearmen immediately formed a new army with a larger number. They failed again and again, but they could still continue fighting. They were as tenacious as cockroaches that could not be killed. This was really a headache!
Just like the Bryansk Front, Lin Yu remembered that in the 1941 Battle of Vyazma-Bryansk, this army was defeated by the German armored forces once.
That time, this army had lost more than 650,000 people. They had almost been completely wiped out!
However, not long after, a large number of young bearmen were pulled over from the rear, replenishing this army!
This kind of powerful blood supply ability really made people's hearts turn cold!
Therefore, this strengthened Lin Yu's belief!
If he wanted to defeat Mao Xiong, it was impossible to defeat him once or twice on the battlefield!
He had to defeat it many times and continuously drain its blood. Only by completely draining the blood in the bear's veins could he completely conquer this polar bear!
Therefore, this Battle of Kursk must be a success, because this was not only related to the failure of a battle, but also the key to the survival of the Third Reich. If they lost, they would have nothing!
It was almost impossible for the Third Reich to organize such a large-scale battle. Even if they won this battle, they had to stop and reorganize!
As for the consequences of losing this battle, it was even more unbelievable!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu took a deep breath.
"Since the bearman has revealed his trump card, let's not hide it anymore!" Let Marshal Gunter van Krueger move out!”
