The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1128

The German army did not attack, and the Soviet army did not withdraw. The two sides fell into a strange situation of peaceful confrontation.

After this situation continued for about a week, Zhukov finally realized that something was wrong.

The behavior of the German army on the opposite side was too abnormal, right?

They didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all. They didn’t even launch a tentative attack, and they didn’t even send out scouts many times!

Aren’t they afraid that they would run away secretly?

Seeing the German army so confident, Zhukov instinctively felt that something was wrong.

“Why haven’t the people we sent to the east come back yet?”

Finally, he realized what was wrong!

Not only was the German side very quiet, but his east was also unusually quiet. Is n’t this too much of a coincidence? You know, the reason why Zhukov was in a hurry to retreat to Romaniya was because the German army had already invaded Romaniya and threatened the safety of their supply lines and retreat routes? Why does it feel like all the German troops in Romaniya disappeared overnight?

Moreover , even if this German army disappeared, why didn’t the Soviet army he sent before move? The more Zhukov thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he decided to take people to take a look! It doesn’t matter if you don’t look, but you’ll be shocked when you see it! To the east of him, at the exit of the valley, a German army appeared at some point, and it was not small in size!

“This, this is?”

Zhukov was stunned!

He couldn’t figure out how this German army appeared behind him and blocked his way out without anyone noticing? What surprised him even more was that the commander of the First Army, Guderian, was actually to his east!

This, this is really unbelievable. Shouldn’t they be to his west, blocked by him in the Carpathian Mountains and unable to get through?

How, when did they actually run to the east?

Zhukov felt that his brain was not working well. What he saw suddenly was beyond his common sense, and he felt like he was knocked unconscious by the heavy hammer of reality.

“Hehe, Zhukov would be shocked if he saw me here!”

Guderian looked at the Soviet soldiers at the exit of the valley leisurely, thinking comfortably in his heart

“There is no need to continue this battle. The two armies blocked the Soviet army’s way forward. The Soviet army is like a turtle in a jar. They have no way to go and can only choose a direction to break out. However, the terrain of the canyon limits their force delivery, so they can only add troops little by little like adding fuel to the fire. For us, it is simply an excellent battlefield!”

Dietrich, the commander of the Seventh Army, appeared beside Guderian and said to him with a smile

“Who says it isn’t! With such a narrow exit, we can seal the valley with machine guns, and then fire hundreds of cannons at it. We can take in as many people as come, and not a single one of them can get out!”

Guderian snorted coldly:”I’m afraid Zhukov still thinks I’m a fool. I haven’t made any move in the west for a week, but he doesn’t know that I have already completed the rotation of defense with the 12th Army, and replaced the prince with a cat in front of him! Now it’s not my First Army stationed in the west, but the 12th Army!”

Dietrich also laughed:”However, the most critical thing is to kill which Soviet army in Bucharest. You fought beautifully in this battle, Guderian. It feels a bit like the Führer’s surprise attack on Romaniya!”

As an old member of the Wehrmacht, Dietrich also participated in the operation that year, so he had a very deep impression of that surprise attack.

And this time, Guderian, under the nose of the Soviet army, did such a trick to deceive the world, bypass the Soviet army’s eyes, raided the city of Bucharest, annihilated a division of Soviet defenders in the city, and completely blinded Zhukov’s eyes, so that he had no idea what was happening outside.

And Dietrich’s Seventh Army also arrived at the battlefield from the south of Poland, and killed the Soviet army on the eastern front, near the border area of the bear. So far, Zhukov’s two armies left in Romania, which were not many to begin with, were all killed. The telegram he sent out naturally fell into the sea, and no one responded.

Zhukov, who focused all his attention on the west and was determined to ambush Guderian, was attracted by Guderian’s abnormal behavior.

For a whole week, he No one reacted. They only saw that the German army in the west seemed to be motionless, but they didn’t know that Guderian had already led the First Army from the south to bypass the Carpathian Mountains and appeared in the east, where they successfully joined forces with the Seventh Army.

At this time, the Twelfth Army, which had already arrived in the west, completed the shift with the First Army in the dark of night, and then deceived the Russians under the banner of the First Army. As a result, the Russians were fooled and stunned, and they haven’t reacted yet!

Although this battle has not started yet, the result is actually doomed.

Guderian used genius tactics to fool Zhukov!

From the moment Zhukov designed to calculate Guderian, he had fallen into Guderian’s trap!

But he didn’t realize it, so he made one wrong step after another, and finally ended up like this.

“There is no suspense in this battle. No matter which direction the Soviet army breaks out, they have no hope of winning!”

“I hope they can give up resistance and surrender. In that case, we can save a lot of trouble. After a little repair, we can directly launch an attack on Jifu from the south!”

Just when the German army besieged Zhukov’s nearly one million people in the Carpathian Mountains, the Third Reich had decided to formally declare war on the bear and fired the first shot to liberate the bear!

As the commander of the Southern Army Group designated by the head of Mainz, the task of Guderian and his three army groups is to advance into the heart of the bear immediately after the war, and take advantage of the main force of the Soviet army on the Polish front to quickly capture Jifu, a major town in the southwest of the bear!

Taking Jifu will clear the obstacles for the German Central Army Group and facilitate their attack on the capital of the bear!
