Almost at the same time, opposite him, the senior commander of the German Southern Corps was also conducting a battle negotiation.
Unlike in history, the current southern group army is commanded by field marshal Erich von Manstein. At the beginning, he put forward the strategy of breaking through the Arden forest in the French campaign, which was affirmed by head of state Chirac and finally achieved success.
Although the German armored force is very advanced, it is also related to tactics. If it could not easily kill France in those years, it would not lay a good situation for the rear. If it became a war of attrition, it would become the terrible consequences of World War I.
Now, Manstein is promoted by head of state Chirac and directly leads the whole group army.
The southern group army group is huge. It includes the 6th, 11th and 17th group armies, the 1st Armored group army and the independent Viking division, with a total of 63 divisions.
The total strength was about the same as that of the Legion in the middle, but the area they wanted to attack was even larger. All the way, Manstein had felt that his troops were indeed too scattered.
Every time, he could defeat the Soviet army, but he didn't have enough strength to surround and annihilate the enemy. When the Middle Route Army created the glory of encirclement war again and again, their South Route Army really didn't enjoy it.
"The Soviets deployed defense on the Dnieper River. Every bridge has heavy military handles, and there are positions outside the bridge head. This battle will not be particularly smooth." Said Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist, commander of the 1st Armored group army.
After all, the impact of tanks still takes time. In the vast Ukrainian plain, German armored forces are moving forward, but not as fast as in Belarus.
It's all about logistics.
In Belarus, Germany built a wide gauge railway, which was directly connected with the railway line in Germany, which greatly facilitated the supply. Although the Soviets destroyed some railway lines, they soon repaired them. Relying on the railway artery, the Middle Route Army hardly had to worry about logistics supply.
However, it is different in Ukraine. Due to different railway tracks, trains have to change wheels during transit, which is quite inefficient. It is only now that railways and roads transport supplies together.
Compared with history, the proportion of tanks in the German attack sequence has greatly increased. Not to mention the tanks in the ordinary infantry division, only the first armored group army is equipped with 3900 tanks.
At the same time, there are also a large number of infantry combat vehicles and various wheeled transport vehicles, which need to consume a lot of fuel, which puts forward new requirements for German logistics supply. As the front moves forward, the supply line is getting longer and longer.
All these have slowed down their attack. As an advocate of Blitzkrieg, Manstein is not satisfied with the speed of his own forces. At the same time, he also knows that his own side has another problem.
"We don't have too many problems finding the right place, seizing the bridge and crossing the Dnieper River. Now it seems that there are several positions that are very suitable." Manstein said: "however, we now lack enough troops to encircle the Soviet troops in the whole Kiev region. Like Belarus, we stretch out our huge arms to encircle the whole region."
The southwest front army of the Soviet Union in Ukraine is more than that in central Belarus.
After losing a series of battles in the border area and fighting with dubno Lutsk Rovno tanks, the supreme command of the Soviet Red Army believed that the southwest was the main direction of German attack, so most of the troops of the Soviet Red Army were deployed in Ukraine.
Up to now, Ukraine has 6 group armies, 69 infantry divisions, 11 cavalry divisions and 28 armored brigades, including the 5th, 6th, 26th and 12th group armies of the southwest front army and the 18th and 9th group armies of the southern front army.
In Kiev alone, there are 44 divisions. It is not as easy for these troops to be completely surrounded as in the middle.
Even Manstein, who has always been a bold soldier, has begun to scratch his head. How should we fight this war?
Manstein is not worried that he cannot defeat his opponent. He has enough ability to liberate Kiev. However, Manstein, who is well aware of xierik's strategic goal, is not satisfied with just defeating the enemy.
They should not only defeat, but also completely encircle and destroy the enemy.
Only by defeating them, they will retreat and then be organized. Only by completely eliminating them is the best plan.
The first strategic goal is to occupy Moscow and the second is to eliminate the living forces of the Soviets.
Manstein does not want to defeat the enemy, but to completely destroy them. Now Manstein is worried about this goal.
There are not enough troops and there is too much meat to eat.
"Then we can stutter." At this time, kleister said: "if we fight Kiev directly, once the defenders in Kiev City can't fight, they will break through. We don't have enough strength to intercept. Therefore, I think we should cut off some of them first. For example, in uman in the south of Kiev, how about we solve uman's defenders first?"
Uman is in the south of Kiev. It is a big city of Ukraine. There are 1.5 million troops of the southwest front army, of which 200000 are deployed in uman.
Take uman first and make a complete encirclement. Up to now, the southern army group has not achieved too dazzling results. Let's start with uman first!
At the same time, this is also very consistent with the current promotion route of the German Legion.
The 1st Armored group army commanded by kleister is advancing in a wedge-shaped formation to the south of Kiev and the north of uman, while the 17th group army of sturpnag is advancing to the south of uman. The two legions did not take uman as the target, but their target is Kiev.
Now they can suddenly change their marching route and surround uman.
At that time, let's see how the defenders in Kiev will choose. If they send troops to save uman, they will surround and support. In the wild, it is definitely a paradise for tank forces. They can destroy as many as they come. If they sit and watch uman be destroyed, their Legion will pass through uman to the East, cross the Dnieper River, and then swing north to surround Kiev, which can greatly reduce the pressure.
"Yes, let's adopt this tactic." Manstein: "our southern Legion must hand over a satisfactory answer sheet, eliminate the living forces of the Soviets and lay the foundation for the final meeting with Moscow!"
With Manstein's approval, the magnificent Kiev General Assembly war finally began slowly, and the battle began from uman in the south of Kiev. This originally insignificant city, just a city on the side of Kiev, ushered in the most terrible World War I.
