    Since it is the first battle after taking office, both Okamura Neiji and Lieutenant General Adachi 23 attach great importance to it!

    Although the number of troops used in this battle was not large, with one main force from each of the two divisions totaling more than 20,000 people, Okamura Neiji mobilized a large number of technical units to participate in the battle, including the special forces affiliated with the North China Front.  and the secret service.

    Okamura Neiji is very clear about the true meaning of military strike. Armed strike depends not only on the force itself, but also on auxiliary means, especially the cooperation of the intelligence department.

    What's more, the target of this battle is the Eighth Route Army. There is not much suspense about whether we can defeat it. But the question is whether we can find the main force of the Eighth Route Army. This is the biggest problem.

    In view of the fact that the Chinese army has penetrated very hard into the Japanese and puppet troops, especially the puppet troops, Okamura Neiji did not immediately issue the combat plan to all combat units after it was formulated. He only informed the newly appointed commanders of these corps and divisions.  The group leaders conveyed what they meant, and the rest below were unclear.

    And in order to cover up his true intentions, Okamura Neiji frequently mobilized troops during this period to conduct large-scale military training in places such as eastern Hebei, northern Shanxi, northern Shanxi, and even southern Shandong. Each time, the momentum was huge, but all of them were provoked.  Guojun.

    After several times in a row, both the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army became somewhat accustomed to it, and relaxed their vigilance towards the Japanese actions!

    Nanjing. Headquarters of China Expeditionary Forces.

    General Yan Junliu, the second commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces, has seen the combat plans of the two major military groups in Central China and North China and is very satisfied with them. In particular, the commanders of the North China Front Army and the 11th Army shared his views.  After all, there is no doubt about the abilities of both of them.

    However, Yan Junliu still did not dare to neglect, because the domestic situation made him a little worried.

    It is now late September, and the Soviet-German war has been breaking out for three months. The first phase of the German offensive has come to an end. The originally imagined scene of two tigers fighting did not appear. The entire Soviet-German battlefield was completely  Yes, the Chinese are showing how to defeat the Soviets.

    Due to the sudden nature of the German attack, the Soviet army was immediately caught off guard. As soon as the war began, the German army quickly tore apart the defense line.

    Among the three German armies, the German Army Group North commanded by von Loeb quickly took over the entire Baltic Sea region, annihilating 24 Soviet divisions in just two weeks, and the front advanced astonishingly.  450 kilometers.  By the end of August, the German Army Group North had reached Leningrad, the second largest city in the Soviet Union.

    Fortunately, the Soviets finally recovered after a series of beatings. In addition, Leningrad is a city named after the great leader Lenin, which is of extremely important significance to the Soviets, so the Soviet soldiers and civilians did not continue to retreat.  Only then did the German army finally encounter strong resistance from the Soviet army, and the attack was suspended.

    The middle road is the key offensive direction of the German army. Army Group Center commanded by von Bock launched a pincer offensive against the Soviet Western Front on the opposite side.

    Although the Soviet and Western Front troops stationed in the direction of Minsk had more than 600,000 troops, they were quickly defeated by the encirclement of 1.55 million German troops, and almost the entire army was wiped out.  In the end, only more than 25,000 people successfully broke through, and more than 290,000 soldiers were captured.

    After the Soviet army ended in a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Minsk, the German Army Group Center continued to advance forward and launched another pincer offensive - the Battle of Smolensk.

    This time the Soviet army learned the lessons of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Minsk and organized an effective defense.  But all this only delayed the defeat of the battle. Two months later, the Soviet army in Smolensk was successfully surrounded by the German army, and 300,000 Soviet troops were annihilated.

    The Army Group South commanded by Marshal Rundstedt faced the Soviet Southwest Front. It is worth mentioning that the Soviet Southwest Front has the strongest combat effectiveness among the Soviet army, and they also have the Soviet Southern Front to cooperate and assist in the operation.  The total number of troops is 1.5 million, which can be said to be a strong force.

    At that time, the combat direction of the German Army Group South was directed towards Kiev, and the Soviet troops retreated steadily along the way.  At a critical moment, the Soviet army even took out the four mechanized armies at the bottom of the box and launched a counterattack against the German army.

    But even though the number of tanks was superior to that of the Germans, they were still outmatched. The German Army Group Center defeated a total of 12 divisions of the two Soviet armies in one fell swoop, and captured more than 100,000 Soviet troops.

    With the war at this point, the only area where the Soviet army has its main concentration of troops is Kiev.

    On August 21, Hitler issued the famous Instruction No. 35 - Capture Kiev.

    Subsequently, the German 1st Armored Group captured Petrovsk, and the 13th Armored Division crossed the Dnieper River.  Guderian?General ??'s Second Armored Group also moved south from Smolensk.  Cutting in from the vulnerable northern flank of the Southwest Front, it joined forces with the 1st Armored Group at Kremenchuk and successfully surrounded Kiev.

    However, the top brass of the Soviet Union and the grassroots Soviet troops did not realize that the end was coming. Marshal Budyonny and Chief of General Staff Zhukov successively suggested abandoning Kiev and allowing the Southwest Front to retreat and reorganize.  However, the two were dismissed by Stalin, and Budyonny was replaced by Timoshenko to stick to Kiev.

    After that, the Soviet Union also carried out a series of distinctive measures: such as mobilizing tens of thousands of exiled Chechen, Tatar, and German laborers to build defense lines in Kiev.

    Many officers, including three major generals, were also executed on the spot to serve as a warning to others.

    They even mobilized the Southwest Front Army in the encirclement to study seriously the latest spirit of the higher-level meeting of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.  So much so that the Political Department of the Southwest Front was busy printing party membership cards when it was on the verge of destruction.  By the way, 6,000 copies of the German version of "Soldier's Pravda" were prepared to be distributed to the German army to promote the power of the Soviet Union to them.

    But in the face of the powerful German army, these ridiculous actions of the Soviet Union were meaningless. Soon Kiev was divided and surrounded by the German army!

    In the first battle, the Soviet army carried forward the glorious tradition of Russian gray cattle.  They fought tenaciously on the outskirts of the city, street by street and house by house. After retreating to the Yagotin area, they fought with the 17th Infantry Division, 2nd Cavalry Division, 1st Tank Division and the 1st Tank Division of the Soviet 5th Group Army stationed there.  The 1st Division joined forces and caused considerable German casualties.

    But the losses of the Soviet army were even more bloody. Thirteen thousand Soviet corpses were found on the front line of the German 44th Infantry Division in Yagotin alone. The 45th Infantry Division next to it also captured 16,000 Soviet soldiers.  captive.

    On September 17, General Kirponos finally received an order from Moscow agreeing to abandon Kiev, but the 37th Group Army in the city had lost contact with the front army headquarters.

    Subsequently, the Soviet army blew up all the bridges on the Dnieper River and evacuated leading officials as a priority.

    But this still could not stop the German generals. Three infantry regiments of the 296th Infantry Division took the lead in smashing Kiev's defenses and invaded Kiev from the north. Four infantry regiments of the 95th Infantry Division also attacked from the south.  Inside the city.

    By 10 o'clock on September 19, the two divisions that had merged finally planted their flags on the Lovra Fortress, and Kiev declared its fall.  The next day, the headquarters of the Southwest Front - Broware was also occupied by the 56th Infantry Division, and 63,000 Soviet troops became prisoners of the 6th Army.

    "And outside Kiev, the remnants of the Southwest Front Army, whose command failed, have become crazy beasts and are still making a desperate breakout.

    Since the Soviet army issued the general breakout order in the early morning of the 17th, the Soviet army has been constantly looking for the weak points of the German army in an attempt to find a way out.  On the 18th, the Soviet army began to break through in the direction of the German 16th Armored Division defending Orscenza, but the 1st Battalion of the 64th Infantry Regiment of the division stood firm on the position like a steel army and fought until they almost ran out of ammunition.  Yuan Jue did not take a step back and repelled countless Soviet charges in the ruins.

    The next day, the Soviet army invested part of its four divisions and once broke through the defense line from the northeast.  However, the First Battalion, in cooperation with a battalion of the 79th Infantry Regiment that came for reinforcements, launched two bayonet charges in succession and finally drove the Soviet troops back.

    To the north of the 16th Armored Division, the 2nd Battalion of the 64th Infantry Regiment only used machine guns for a few minutes to capture an entire Soviet unit that was trying to outflank the 1st Battalion.

    By this point in the battle, all that was left of the Southwest Front Army were wreckage all over the mountains and plains, and endless prisoners and corpses.

    The 665,000 Soviet troops lost their aura as heroic Red Army soldiers in textbooks and returned to the nature of gray animals in the last world war, becoming prisoners of the German army. Marshal Budyonny, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army, even almost committed suicide because of this tragic defeat.  .

    In late September, the German Wehrmacht High Command released a summary report of the Kiev Campaign, announcing to the whole world the destruction of the Southwest Front. The largest siege war in human history ended with the victory of German fascism.

    Looking at the entire Eastern Front, in 1941, the darkest year, a total of 2.99 million Red Army soldiers turned into nameless souls.
