Rasputin of the East - Rasputin of the East chapter 211
< Episode 211 >
General offensive of the Central Front Army.
The Russian army, which advanced into the Netherlands, mercilessly crushed the resistance and advanced slowly.
The resistance of the Dutch and British forces collapsed before the Russian offensive, and it took the Russians only six hours to completely collapse the frugal defense line urgently built on the Ems River.
The Dutch bombed the dam to stop the Russians from entering the Dutch territory, but this only slowed the Russian advance, but did not stop it.
However, this is a tribute to distract the eyes of Germany and Britain.
The real hero was different.

Münster, Bielefeld, and Ruhr vacuum using both axes.
Distributing the troops was originally a plan, but assuming that the number of heads, firepower, and qualitative performance of equipment were all superior, it is a different story.
In that case, you can inject the main supply firepower into both places at the same time, so that you can put another knife into the enemy’s belly.
And in order to gain that advantage, thorough reconnaissance was accompanied, and 80% of air force, 40% of ground force, and 4 minutes of armored force for just one offensive to break through the defense line of the six-fold thick Ruhr stretching hundreds of kilometers long 3, and 50% of the artillery force was assigned to the Central Front.
Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Bonn and Aachen. Millions of armies rallied to smash all defenses across the Ruhr and put an end to German industrial power.
And it was always the Guards Corps that got the honor of being at the forefront.

“Get down! f*ck! Get down!”
“Don’t stop the car! The moment you set it up, you fall behind!”
Enemy soldiers were strewn all over the city, loaded with things like stove smokers. I don’t know what they shot, but once the tank is hit, the turret is separated from the hull, and it has the power to perform miracles like levitation.
“Never stop the car! The moment you set it up, you fall behind! did you understand The moment you stop the car, everyone in here will be charcoal-grilled together!”
“run! run! Step on the engine until it burns!”
The commander’s machine gun fluttered in flames like crazy. LAD light machine guns blast their ears out of the hands of the soldiers hanging from the tanks, covering the blind spots of the tanks, and the coaxial machine guns and main guns fire as they enter the chambers, whether bullets or shells.
Even the regimental commander’s command car gets caught up in such a crazy gunfight, so how about anywhere else?
As I turned my head to check how many cars were left, I saw a rocket pass in front of my nose.
In exchange for the power, the accuracy of the shot was given, or the warhead deviated as they danced to and fro. But that’s what made me even more scared.
-bang! Tang Tang!
A silhouette was seen from the balcony holding the smoke barrel as the machine gun was slashed at all seemingly non-friendly targets. Without a single hesitation, Nikita pulled out her pistol and emptied one magazine toward the second floor, and watched an unfired rocket fall to the floor.
In an instant, the hat of the fallen enemy soldier hanging over the railing was removed, revealing his long, wavy hair.
It was a young girl soldier.
It must be a fleeting moment, but the absolute time is definitely a fleeting moment.
Time seemed to have slowed down by a million times for a moment.
She couldn’t even see her face properly, but her dark eyes seemed to resent herself for some reason, so Nikita got goosebumps.
– Aww! Aww!
“f*ck! It’s a bombardment!”
“run! at full speed! Escape the enemy bombardment zone!”
An explosion blows up the entire area in a nearby alley, and a fist-sized boulder flies in, lightly hitting the helmet and bouncing off it. If it had been hit head-on, the neck would have been broken, but it was fortunate that it bounced off with only a long blemish.
However, the tank breaks through the artillery zone without even realizing that it is lucky.
“The city is devastated!”
There’s no way to tell if this is an allied or enemy bombardment.
It is said that the target area of the regiment is a German oil refinery large enough to be shown on the map, and now also serves as a coal liquefaction plant.
The Russians wanted to blow up this sweet target with air strikes or artillery shells, but unfortunately, as with other major facilities, most of them are underground with reinforced concrete frenzy, so shells or ordinary air bombs can’t even get their teeth into them. The air defense system was too thick to drop earthquake bombs. It’s almost like there’s only one wing dedicated to it.
There was a reason why he was still alive even though he never missed the main target when bombing the Ruhr.
Only after 18 four-barreled strategic bombers were torn down in the air nearby, the Russian army gave up on touching it in the air and decided to send ground forces to occupy the oil refinery.
And Nikita was standing right in front of it, pouring a mixture of curses and bullets.
He destroyed seven factories with his own hands alone. One chemical plant or some sort of Naval plant, two tank production plants, one ammunition plant, one artillery plant, and one aircraft assembly plant. One vehicle production facility.
But there was no end to this damn industrial complex.
‘Jugashville, that man is turning the whole of Germany into a gigantic factory. The Ruhr Industrial Zone has become a huge industrial complex.’
The meaning of his father’s words is realized.
He also saw huge factories in the Urals, steel mills in Ukraine, and tank and aircraft production lines. He had never been inside the blast furnace except once he had seen it, but he had witnessed its enormous scale and the City of Steel.
That is why, while breaking through all of Germany, he sympathized with his father’s statement that he had turned an entire Germany into a gigantic factory, but Ruhr transcended even that.
A planned city where even the inhabitants of the city seem to have been made with one screw, one bolt, one nut, one belt, and one cogwheel, and their minds will be dizzy and their nosebleeds will pour out.
Each neatly organized section seemed to indicate what the area was intended for.
‘I’m going crazy.’
Nikita muttered inwardly and stuck out her tongue.
Is this the giant tower of heavy industry in Germany that was created while destroying all of the light industry and agriculture?
As I stood before my eyes, a world that seemed to show another possibility of the Russian Empire, I had no idea.
“How many more blocks do I have to go…”
I know on the map where this damn industrial complex is, but I’ve never seen it.
I just trampled on whatever was blocking my eyes with the caterpillar—even the hapless bodyguards—and smashed it all the way forward until I saw a huge pile of scrap metal and concrete in the distance.
– Nettle juice! Whoops!
“It is 8, 8! Radios!”
Through the large-scale communication network loaded into the command vehicle, Nikita began to write evil.
“We have reached a distance of 2 km from the target, but we are under fire from multiple enemy anti-aircraft guns without cover! Fire artillery on those rotten things! Send me everything you have!”
Originally crouching in an armored bunker, when the air raid alarm went off, they crawl out, so the guys who had a hard time hitting them all crawl out and provide firepower support.
Isn’t it common sense to treat you warmly?
-Okay…. Jijik…
A loud noise was heard as to whether the jammer was activated or for some other reason.
But shortly after the artillery request was granted, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of rockets with smoke on their tails flew towards the factory site.
– Kwak! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
When the shelling was over and the smoke had not yet cleared, the tanks began to run.
“charge! Now they have nowhere to run!”
The tanks ran frantically, and the miraculously surviving anti-aircraft guns fired a few rounds, but the number of tanks charged in was greater.
The anti-aircraft guns were silent one by one in the rain of steel from the Russian tanks, who fired direct fire between maneuvers, like 85mm shells.
Starting with Nikita’s tank, which was charging from the front, breaking through the destroyed anti-aircraft gun positions, the infantry and tanks mingled and rushed into the oil refinery in a disorderly manner.
Whether you crush the German infantry, shoot them to death, or burn them to death. either explode.
There was no power to stop them any longer.
“It’s an enemy tank destroyer!”
“Shoot!”
As we got closer, small tank destroyers scrambled through the wreckage and crawled out. It was difficult to hit due to the low overall height, but once hit, the T-32 was also a tank destroyer with a 75mm main gun, the Hatchers.
Of course, the number of hatchers could not be greater than the number of tanks of the Russian army, whether it was defense or attack power, numbers, mobility, or combat effectiveness.
All of them were forced to be pushed back by the Russian army, and they were trampled on by the Russian army’s caterpillar tracks and were terribly crushed.
The tanks stopped, and the infantry went through the wreckage and started searching for survivors.

“Sir, the Ruhr is collapsing.”
“Have you seen it?”
“As ordered, we are withdrawing our troops. There are only a minimum number of manpower and troops left for the withdrawal of ‘Liftrasir’. It will be transported on an armored train.”
“Where is the Netherlands?”
“It is the same.”
Hitler, who had crawled to the conference hall after a long time, applauded.
“Okay, now the stepping stone for a comeback is almost complete! Their morale will soon hit bottom, the Maginot line is strong enough to break their will, and their supply line stretches the size of Germany.”
Hitler pointed to the map with more enthusiasm than ever, whether he knew the cynical gaze of his old friend that was pouring on him.
“The Russian army will inevitably struggle against the Germanic passionate resistance! And then!”
Hitler slammed his desk down with a bang, and his red, bloodshot eyes gleamed.
“A single heated counterattack will destroy all fronts of the Russian army! The signs are already showing! They can’t even capture Bayern!”
See, isn’t victory approaching right in front of you?
“The Bible says that for forty-two months an army of heathens will trample the holy temple, say so! let it go! What if for 42 months holy Germania was trampled down by foreign forces! Even Friedrich gave up his palace, so why not us! When we finish the prophecy of 1260 days, the beasts will kill me, but after three and a half days they will rise again and ascend to heaven, and they will fight and fall on their own!”
Wherever they picked up, they chattered, quoting passages from the book of Revelation, but no one answered.
The German mainland has been handed over to the enemy, and the only way to win is to give up all of Germany and the Netherlands and hold on to the Maginot line in France, where the partisans are still overflowing? They’ve been reinforced in the meantime, but with the defense they once broke through head-on?
In order to make that delusion come true, many tanks were moved to French territory instead of being sent to the front lines. Numerous new weapons and factories were moved to France, and raw materials were accumulated as spares without being mobilized to make tanks in the Ruhr.
While the German sons, who did not receive a proper gun, were dying, there were still decisive supplies left behind that had not been sent to the front.
Of course, there was no other way left. He was commanding the defense to watch the Netherlands, but was horribly broken by the overwhelming Russian offensive, and in the Ruhr, he crashed several times by plane after watching the armed bodyguards under his own responsibility not even scream properly and destroy them. Jugashvili, who had escaped through a crisis, became extremely depressed, and while rolling a pen and supervising the relocation of the factory, he did not even say a word about the military. The generals, who had seen them suffer for years, no longer thought autonomously.
The resulting power vacuum was the result of Hitler, who had been growing moldy as a madman in the corner of the room from time to time, once again seized full power.
