Chapter 363: The Valve of a Small Country Wins Over a Big Country
After occupying Rostov-on-Don, there are two strategic tasks, one is to go to the Baku region 700 kilometers to the south, and the other is to go straight to Stalingrad, a hundred kilometers to the north, blow up the railway from Stalingrad to Moscow, and then quickly cross the Volga River, run 1,300 kilometers, reach the Soviet Union's railway hub city on the Asia-Europe dividing line - Orsk, quickly capture it, and then establish an airport and a perfect defensive circle, this airport is the key to life and death, on the one hand, our supply channel, On the one hand, it was used to bomb all railway junctions and stations in the USSR. This task is undoubtedly the most arduous, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the annihilation of the entire army......
My Comrade Hu Hansan, did you choose to go to the Baku region to grab oil fields? Or do you choose to go to Orsk, where you die? ”
Vincent Howe did not hesitate to point his finger at Olsk and said:
"I choose to go to Orsk, where I die, but ask the commander-in-chief to prove the honor of our Italian Panzer Corps hehe. But ask the commander-in-chief to assign me an armored corps."
"Comrade Hu Hansan, don't rob me like a tyrant, there is no armored army, but I can give you two infantry divisions, the most elite infantry division in Germany, and the invincible infantry division, do you want it?"
The newly formed infantry division of the Wehrmacht has now been included in the battle sequence of Army Group South, and it has become the most elite in Li Mo's mouth.
"Yes, of course, I can completely let these more than 30,000 elite infantry of Army Group South build a defensive circle, and then use my Italian armored corps to form a rapid strike force, which Soviet guy dares to move my Orsk...... That's his own death. I'll send him to God for free.
Vincent's wild words have come out, I don't know how it will end, and I only know if I have really beaten it.
After Limer arranged for Vincent, he personally wrote a report to Hitler, carefully analyzing how Germany should defeat the vast Soviet Union. After all, Li Mo can only command one army group, and Germany, the head of the European Union, still needs to make up his mind about the specific policy of the occupied territories.
(emphasis ★★★★★)"...... Small countries can defeat large countries in terms of area, population, resources, technology and other factors. To a greater extent, it represents the war potential of a country. It is not a war strength that can be immediately used in a war (the most intuitive expression of war strength is the number or absence of elite armed forces, whether the weapons and equipment are sophisticated, and whether the logistics supply is sufficient) -- "potential" is not equal to actual "strength". In other words, if a country's war potential is not transformed into war strength in time, no matter how great its potential is, it may fail.
There is a certain relationship between the size of the land area and the number of people and the abundance of resources. And it determines the size of the strategic space and the room for maneuver on both sides on the battlefield. And to some extent determines how the war will be conducted: positional warfare or movement warfare? Quick or protracted? The size of the population is directly related to the much-needed human resources in wartime: the number of people of military service age determines the size of the army's reserves. The male and female population was the main source of labor for the expansion of military production during wartime.
The abundance of mineral resources has a great relationship with whether a country can produce sufficient war materials and weapons and equipment. Oil, iron, aluminum, coal, rubber, grain, cloth, and all kinds of metals are strategic materials that are in great demand in wartime, without which the war machine cannot function normally. If a country is in a state of wartime blockade. If strategic materials cannot be obtained through trade exchanges, the problem of resources determines the size of her self-sustaining power and her ability to continue fighting.
The level of culture and technology has a bearing on how many weapons and equipment, production equipment, military theories, operational research and other achievements a country can invent in wartime, and they are the amplifier of a country's war strength: advanced weapons can be used as a hundred, excellent tactics can be outnumbered, and excellent theories can maximize the operational efficiency of the war machine. However, the process of transforming war potential is not achieved overnight, and it requires a considerable degree of time, space, and material support. Once it is used by the enemy to succeed in the way of fast and slow fighting: the territory is occupied by a large area, the people are enslaved in large numbers, the materials are plundered in large quantities, and the technology is frantically stolen, the transformation of war potential into war strength will be forcibly suppressed, and the country may even be defeated and unable to turn over, and will never be able to raise its head.
How can a small country overcome a large one? It can be achieved in the following ways, mainly in four aspects:
1. Use the elite army with a strong formation to destroy the enemy's large but bloated army in large numbers, that is, to defeat mediocrity with the elite and eliminate the enemy's direct resistance.
2. Occupy the enemy's strategic points, political and economic centers, important cities, resource mining areas, production bases, and transportation hubs, and prevent the enemy from mobilizing for war, producing materials, assembling troops, and mobilizing troops.
3. For conquered areas: requisition of enemy personnel as laborers or even soldiers; exploit the enemy's mineral resources and use the enemy's production equipment as a supplement to its own war; Use captured strategic points or military bases as your own forward base and supply rear.
4. Establish a puppet government and restore the functioning of society; The local people should be governed by the locals, so that the enemy people can return to the normal production and living conditions before the war as soon as possible under the leadership of the regime that conforms to their own will, so as to weaken the will of the enemy people to resist to the greatest extent. If a country achieves some or even all of the above four points, it will be able to effectively suppress the enemy and prevent its war potential from being transformed into actual war strength, and it will not be impossible for a small country to defeat a large country. The forces needed to sustain the conquered territories are far less than those needed for war, let alone a problem.
All in all, "nourishing war with war, and defeating raze with raze" is the only way for a small country to defeat a big country, and the core is one word, "fast"! ”
Limer's report has made it very clear, and it euphemistically told Hitler what to do and how to deal with the people in the occupied territories, if Hitler still pursues the same set of policies in your history and implements high-pressure discrimination against the people in the occupied territories. This is tantamount to forcing the Soviet people, who were originally extremely dissatisfied with Stalin, to return to Stalin's camp alive, and this is Hitler's own death, and Li Mo can only do his best and obey the fate of heaven.
However, in the territory occupied by Limer, whether it was the High Command or Hitler, Limer decided to implement the same national relaxation policy as Poland, and the Soviet people in the occupied areas would receive 20 acres of land, rescue the people in the collective farms, give full play to the production enthusiasm of the Soviet people, eat a big pot of rice, and no one would actively produce, this is practiced, and the peasants' desire for land can also win the support of the Soviet people to the greatest extent, so it is difficult for Soviet partisans to appear under Limer's rule.
