Soviet-German War
First stage
194 1 On June 22nd, the Soviet-German war broke out. Bock commanded the Central Army Group (565,438+0 Division) to carry out a large-scale pincer offensive from the north and south sides of Biavistock projection. He ordered the 3rd Armored Cluster and the 9th Army to start from Suwauji, East Prussia in the north and penetrate into the enemy's depth, while the 2nd Armored Cluster and the 4th Army started from Brest-Litovsk in the south and advanced along the northern edge of Pripyat swamp. These two armored clusters quickly extended to the further rear of the Soviet Union like iron tongs. On June 27th, they closed the tiger's mouth in Minsk, 250 miles deep into the Soviet Union, and surrounded the western army of the Soviet Union. On July 9, more than 320,000 Soviet troops were wiped out in the encirclement. On July 16, two tongs occupied Smolensk, completing the encirclement of Soviet troops between Olza and Smolensk. Stalin's son Yakov Stalin was captured. On August 5th, the Soviet troops in the encirclement of Smolensk stopped their last resistance, and 365,438+100000 people were captured. On August 8, and panic in the Soviet union's 28th army in Roslav. By the end of August, the Central Army Group had completed its scheduled task and advanced 500 miles, only 250 miles away from Mosoko. At this time, Bok and Hitler had differences on the next operational goal. In order to capture Ukraine, the industrially developed Donetsk basin and the economically prosperous Crimea as soon as possible, in order to capture Leningrad as soon as possible, Hitler joined the Finnish army, ordered Bok to turn to defense on the spot, and removed the armored cluster from the central army group and strengthened it into the northern army group and the southern army group. Bok is firmly opposed to this plan, arguing that decentralization is tantamount to waiting for failure. Hitler refused to change his plan, satirizing Bok and others for not understanding the economics of war. Bok was very annoyed after hearing this, and asked Hitler bluntly, is the direct goal of the German army to the Soviet Union military conquest or economic development? Hitler replied that both are the purpose of war, equally important, in no particular order, or insist on fighting separately. Burke had to obey orders and lead his troops to defend the area 47 miles east of Smososk. Facts have proved that Bok's suggestion is correct. The Soviets took advantage of this opportunity to assemble150 ~ 2 million troops in Moscow to resist the German attack in the later period.
It was not until June 2nd, 10 that Bok was approved to carry out the "Typhoon" plan to attack Moscow. 65438+1October 65438+July, the Central Army Group annihilated more than seven Soviet groups within the encirclement of Vyazma-Bryansk.
stage Ⅱ
165438+1In mid-October, with the improvement of muddy roads and the appearance of initial freezing, Bok began the second stage of the Moscow campaign, ordering the south and north wings of the 4th armored cluster to attack Moscow on 15 and 17 respectively. By the beginning of 65438+February, the northern wing of the Central Army Group had surpassed Kling to advance toward the Volga River, and had entered Chroma and Klyukovo, less than 20 miles northwest of Moscow. Its vanguard troops have arrived near the suburbs of Moscow and saw the Kremlin spire. The south wing stormed Tula in an attempt to detour Moscow from the south, and the fighting reached a white-hot level; The middle road has broken through the Soviet line in Meeske, Narofu. However, under the tenacious resistance of the Soviet Union, the Germans suffered heavy casualties and their morale dropped sharply. In addition, the weather is bad and supplies are insufficient. Bock reported to Hitler that "the time of exhaustion of troops is approaching". On February 5, 65438, the Soviet army turned to counterattack near Moscow, and Bok hurriedly ordered a retreat to avoid further losses. Hitler resolutely opposed the retreat and sent his adjutant Schmont to Bok's headquarters to investigate. Bock insisted: "The Fuehrer must choose between the two. If you dare to risk the complete collapse of your troops, then attack Moscow again or defend yourself. " Meanwhile, he resigned for health reasons. 19 February 19, Hitler approved his request, and Marshal Kruger took over Bok's position.
1942 17 10/7, Reichenau, the new commander of the army group in southern Germany, died of a stroke, and Hitler began to replace Reichenau with Bok. After Bok came to power, he quickly took measures to stop the winter offensive launched by the Soviet Union on the southern line of the Soviet-German battlefield. In May, Hitler ordered Bok to attack from the city. 18 In May, the Germans 1 1 annihilated the Soviet troops in Crimea 17000. On July 4, the Ministry seized Sevastopol, an important port in the Black Sea, and annihilated 90,000 Soviet troops. On May 29th, the 6th Army and 1 Panzer Army annihilated 240,000 Soviet troops in Hikoum. In June, the German army adjusted its deployment, and the southern army group was divided into two army groups, A and B, with Bok as the commander of the B army group. On June 28th, at 2: 15, the Bok Command Department launched a summer offensive, advancing from Kursk and the Don River. On July 6, Voronezh was captured. At this point, Bok wanted to clean up his troops first, but he was in no hurry to attack the Don bend. Hitler was extremely dissatisfied and ordered Bok to retire in July 15. Since then, he has never been used again.
Although Bok was deeply angry at the demotion, he still supported Hitler. The anti-Hitler organization in the German army sent several people to persuade him to lead the anti-Hitler, but Bok refused. Bok also warned: "whoever wants to oppose the Fuhrer, I will oppose him." He will not regret it until he dies.
