Chapter 263 The operational concept of the city fortress is in progress

Unfortunately, no matter how fierce Churchill's gaze was, all the high-level officers in the intelligence department in his room, were all lowered their heads and dared not speak much, and even dared not breathe for a while, lowering their heads and silently.

"Okay! Very good! Since you are not willing to speak, I will give you two weeks; if you can't find out information about Hitler's new weapons and equipment, then you don't have to stay in the intelligence department! I don't need to be crooked!"

Seeing that no one came out to respond, Churchill immediately roared in fury.

"Go out! Get out and work immediately! I don't want to see you who are so ineffective!"

Before anyone else could speak, Churchill roared again in a rage.

Seeing Churchill in anger, everyone left his room obediently and carried out a quick reconnaissance operation.

Because neither of them wanted to be fired from the Intelligence Department by Churchill two weeks later.

At this time, the special train that Manstein was taking was heading towards Vinnica's station.

In the office train car, Marshal Manstein, General Busse, and Colonel Schultz Bitger were studying the evacuation map.

The messenger Lieutenant Staerberg, holding various reports and telegram folders, put them one by one in accordance with Manstein's order.

Through the situation chart and various reconnaissance reports on the front line, Manstein and the others could see that this large-scale combat operation of the Soviet army was stronger than the previous few times and had more troops.

"The Soviet troops in Kharkov and Bergorod and other places are gathering more and more! It seems that these Soviet troops want to engage in another large-scale counterattack! I really don't expect that the casualties we gave them the last two times were not profound enough!"

After reading the battle reports on the front line, General Busse said, looking a little eager to do something.

"What a pity! If the Head of State hadn't asked us to retreat, I really wanted to teach these Soviet troops another profound lesson!"

Colonel Schultz Bitger said unwillingly.

"You are easy to say! Even if the Head of State does not allow us to retreat, even if we are now going to fight the Soviet army that is gathering continuously, I am afraid that who will not know who will be killed by then!"

"And I believe that we will suffer more people then! Because our current military strength is simply not comparable to that of the Soviet army, and the head of state also consumed a lot of new weapons and equipment for us to fight last time! It's not replenished at all!"

"So don't stand and talk, you don't feel any pain at all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Manstein immediately interrupted their words.

"But it's not our style to escape without fighting!"

Colonel Schultz Bitger said awkwardly.

"Hey! We've won several big victories recently! So you feel our head of state is the kind of person who is bullied and not fight back?"

After hearing this, Manstein not only did not get angry, but instead asked with a smile.

"With that being said, I don't understand why the Chief of the People wants us to evacuate the other party so far?"

Colonel Schultz Bitger said awkwardly.

"Yes! I don't know so either! Why do we retreat to Konisburg?"

General Busai was also confused and puzzled.

"You ask me, I don't know what the Head of State is going to do! But I can only say that I obey the head of state's orders! I believe he will not be a weak master!"

Manstein shrugged and smiled gently.

"You're right! We can only do this now! Or when we arrive in Konisburg, we will know what's going on there!"

General Busai also shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

"By the way! Did Model retreat to Konisburg like us?"

But Colonel Schultz Bitger suddenly remembered.

"The retreat route of him and his troops was issued by the Head of State himself! I don't know very well! The Head of State had never told us!"

Manstein frowned when he heard this.

"There is no way! Now he has been promoted to marshal! And he is highly valued by the head of state. There is really no need for us to know his actions!"

Colonel Schultz Bitger sighed and said enviously.

"Hahaha! Since you envy others so much, then you can also hug the head of the thigh. Maybe the next marshal will be you!"

Seeing Colonel Schultz Bitger's envious and hatred look, General Busse suddenly quipped.

"Hey! I think so too! Unfortunately, I don't have the qualifications to approach the head of state yet! Such good fortune should be left to those who know how to shoot horses!"

Colonel Schultz Bitger retorted.

"Okay! Don't say these boring words anymore, our train is about to arrive at the station! Let's prepare well and arrange our troops to enter Konisburg later!"

Seeing General Busse and the others who were starting to spark, Manstein immediately interrupted.

Seeing Manstein's interference, General Busse and Colonel Schultz Bitger stopped joking, quieted down and discussed the matter with Manstein.

In fact, while Manstein and his team led their troops to Konisburg, Chen Yanlong was also ordering the troops to transport more than 20,000 cannons and mortars; 4,000 tanks and attack artillery, as well as more than 3,000 aircraft and other weapons and equipment from Berlin to Konisburg.

At the same time, the concept of "city fortress" is still in full swing in Konisburg. This concept is that even if it is surrounded, the German army still has to guard major cities and transportation hubs.

For this reason, Chen Yanlong continued to order the German Command, so that Konisberg could also have long-term defense combat capabilities under completely isolated conditions.

Therefore, the city of Konesburg not only has a complete underground factory, arsenal, as well as a storage warehouse for military supplies, weapons and equipment.

Moreover, the defense system of the fortress there is composed of outer defense encirclements and three positions.

The first position is 6-8 kilometers away from the city center, and includes 8 trenches with traffic trenches and a large number of anti-tank obstacles, as well as almost 20 old fortresses, as well as other fortifications.

The second position is built on the outskirts of the city and consists of a large number of defensive buildings, barricades at intersections, permanent launch points, and a large number of landmine areas.

The third position was built along the old city boundary and built on about 10 old fortresses.

Now in Konesburg, Chen Yanlong has dispatched 4 infantry divisions, 3,000 artillery and mortars, and 300 tanks and attack artillery to station.

Of course, the infantry divisions stationed now were all taken away from the National Wehrmacht Reserve Army. There were a lot of new recruits, not Manstein's troops.
