Chapter 59 The Goal, Karachi
Early in the morning, the soldiers of the Cockroach Armored Army who were attacking were ready for the final departure. After reorganization, the Cockroach Armored Army expanded to 120,000 people. Kinda brought all the troops that could be brought with him. Each tank was full of soldiers, the roof of all the transport vehicles, and the rear compartment of the tractor was also filled with soldiers, and even two bicycles were loaded with two people. Unfortunately, they could not bring the soldiers of the Beast Bug Army, so Kinda had to barely load the most elite pest guard into the car.
After the troops were ready, Kinda climbed onto a Tiger 1 tank. Although there was an armored command vehicle, Kinda still felt that the tank was safer and safer. When Paulus saw Kinda boarding the tank, he shouted loudly, "I wish General Gessun a good journey. When the horse is successful, I will pray for you here." Kinda cried and said, "I know, I have bought accidental injury insurance from the fascist insurance company, so there should be no problem. Otherwise, the company will have to pay a lot of money." Kinda then said to Wright and Ryden beside Paulus, "You two should help General Paulus defend Stalingrad. Do you understand?" "Don't worry, General Gessun." Wright and Ryden answered in unison, "We must guard Stalingrad with General Paulus."
At this time, the commander of the Pest Guard, Colonel Fenrit ran over and said, "General Gesyun, Major General Taide asked, are we allowed to set off?" Jinda nodded and said, "The whole army sets off, target Karachi."
With the order of Jintian, the entire army began to advance in an orderly manner. The sound of metal sawing and the roar of the engine resounded throughout the city. The German soldiers left behind by the road waved and cheered loudly, wishing the soldiers of the Cockroach Armored Army safe all the way.
At this time, Paulus shouted to the band behind him, "Happy, happy, happy, wish General Ge Siyun a victory return soon." The whole band started playing high, and Kimda taught them the song "The Devils Enter the Village". He gave away the departure of the cockroach armored army. When Kimda heard the music, his face changed and shouted, "Don't play anymore. Don't play anymore. This is playing with the enemy, it's unlucky! It's unlucky! It'll fade." But Kimda's shouting was drowned in the roar of the motor. However, Paulus saw that Kimda was shouting something to him, thinking that the music was not loud enough, so he immediately let the fascist chorus group behind him start a chorus "Goodbye, goodbye, meet in the morgue. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to our morgue." After Kimda heard this song, his eyes turned dark and he fainted.
Karachi is a very important city in the Stalingrad strategy of the Soviet and German armies. In the first Stalingrad battle, the Soviet army occupied this place and cut off the retreat of the Paulus group and surrounded the 330,000 troops of the Paulus group. It can be said that Karachi is a must-pass place for the Germans to retreat. After staying in the tank for a while, Jintian found that he could not stand the bumps in the tank, so he had to return to the armored command vehicle. He discussed his first goal with officers such as Ted, Khank, Fenrit, etc., and Karachi.
Jintian stared at Karachi on the map and asked, "How many Soviet troops are there in Karachi now?" Taide, who was standing by, replied in contemplation, "According to the information we have at present, there is only one division in the Soviet army on the front line of Karachi to be deployed. I think it is only a matter of time for us to break through Karachi now. We are purely mechanized troops, and Karachi is just a breakthrough and does not need to be occupied. Even if the enemy has millions of heroic troops, it cannot stop us from moving forward. The problem now is Kretskaya. Once we break through Karachi, we will completely expose our strength. It takes about 48 hours to reach Kretskaya along the highway north of Karachi, but the Soviets cannot let us go north safely."
Hank, who was standing beside him, also spoke with a worry-faced expression, "There is too little time. Even if Karachi breaks through or not occupy it, it will take time. Moreover, the blockade of the Sulian people should not be underestimated. In the field, ours will never be afraid of the Soviets. But when we get to the city, our armored troops will be useless. We don't have many infantrymen. We can't let the tanks attack the city."
After hearing the two of them, Kimda felt a terrible brain pain. Kimda understood that it was almost impossible to break through Karachi to Kretskaya within 4 days and occupy it. It seemed that Manstein had a problem for himself. Hank, who was standing beside him, saw Kimda's face full of sorrow, and then spoke, "It would be great if the Soviets could be attracted to the field. Even if the enemy had a million troops, we would not have to be afraid. When we arrived in the city, we would definitely be dragged by the Soviets. Moreover, the Don Front Army is now retreating to Kretskaya. We must arrive before their main force arrives and occupy it. We do not have enough time. The Soviets will definitely fight to block us.
Marshal Manstein's plan is quite risky. Even if we occupy Kretskaya and encircle the Soviet Don Front. However, Kretskaya is sandwiched between the Soviet Don Front and the Southwest Front, whether it can be defended at that time is still a question. I think Marshal Manstein's plan looks beautiful, but the success rate is only 10%. And we use our cockroach armored army to gamble."
After listening to Hank's speech, Kimda fell into thinking. Kimda understood that no matter how bad the situation was, he had to do it himself. He could not disobey the order of a marshal. He had to think of a way to complete the task in front of him. After completing difficult tasks, it would be easier for him to get promoted and make money in the future. Of course, it would be easier for a girl to be fooled. As long as he talked about the current situation in the future, and then said how he was not afraid of sacrifice or danger, he would complete such an important task and would definitely fascinate many girls.
Thinking of this, Jinda came to his senses and looked at the map and asked, "How much time is there to go to Karachi." Taide replied, "In 3 hours, we should reach the periphery of Karachi and contact the Soviet army. General Ge Siyun, how should we fight?"
