Chapter 458

To say that life is mostly unhappy, this sentence may be a rare accurate evaluation of people's own expectations. So there are a lot of people who are very, very unhappy now. Because they have not been able to get what they want after thousands of calculations, it can be said that their efforts have not achieved the best results.

For example, akado is very depressed now. Because of the incompetence of the Japanese, the Nomenkan incident he carefully constructed did not delay the attack of the Soviet Red Army. He just delayed the Soviet invasion of Germany, which should have happened in mid March, to early April.

In other words, the last thing he wanted to see happened again. Germany was forced to start a two-line war, and it was forced to carry out a two-line war when the Balkans were not conquered and he was not fully prepared.

Britain needs 600000 to 800000 German troops to fight at home; France, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway also need about 700000 troops to maintain the proper order; In Italy and North Africa, Germany has deployed 300000 (not full) African expeditionary forces; The domestic public order and stability need to be maintained by 300000 German troops; 2.3 million troops and 700000 strategic reserves on the eastern front are waiting for each other - not counting the forces involved in the Balkans, Germany has cleaned up its seemingly huge 5 million regular troops.

Although it is said that the British and French forces have to be deployed, and it is estimated that about 300000 soldiers can be deployed, akado, brauchich and others believe that it is more practical to maintain the dominant forces on the western front and end the two lines of operations as soon as possible. But everyone knows that even if Germany ends the war on the western front, it needs to retain at least 1 million troops as its standing defense force, and only 4 million troops can move to the eastern front.

Assuming that the war on the western front is over, if the forces of Finland, Turkey, Romania, Italy and other countries are included, Germany can concentrate about 6 million to 7 million troops on the eastern front and 10 million troops against the Soviet Union. This balance of forces is not impossible to fight in the German high-level command system, but "very sure to win".

Of course, the good news is that the Soviets are not ready either. They have not completed all the cleansing. They have lost their strength seriously and they have not completed the preparation for war. They just saw that the German family was the only one who intervened in the war rashly. Under this premise, akkado is sure to defeat this attack of the Soviet Union, which is a great misfortune.

The Japanese were even more depressed. According to their prior agreement, they bravely fought a battle of Nomenkan, causing great anger and heavy losses. The army has lost its say. Even the Americans have taken sanctions against Japan. The Japanese authorities can say that the loss is not worth the gain.

Of course, another thing that makes the Japanese more anxious is that the aid that the Germans originally said was completely wasted. The German didn't give the design of leopard tank at all, and the technology of coal to oil was only provided with a few initial equipment. In addition to 100 me-109c fighters, the three aircraft production lines originally planned to be introduced by the army aviation force have also fallen into the air. The reason is very simple. Germany and the Soviet Union are preparing to fight each other. How can they pay attention to the distant Japanese authorities?

The most infuriating thing is that in the midst of a decisive battle with the Soviet Union, although Germany ignored all kinds of demands of the Japanese authorities, it dispatched 50 me-109c combat aid from Romania and Italy to China, which made the Japanese military a little sad. Japan's foreign minister threatened to withdraw from the axis steel agreement. Instead of bargaining, he directly signed the surino menkan treaty, which defined the actual control range of the two sides, and then ended the war.

However, the American sanction is a real and deadly trick. Japan's domestic oil reserves are only enough for the Japanese army's operation in three months and its industrial consumption. In other words, if Japan does not think of a way, its army will have to fight without tanks, planes, ships and warships in three months. One bullet is less than one, and one shell is less than one - not to mention the United States, even China can hit it everywhere. This is absolutely not the news that the Japanese government wants to see.

As a result, many things have been disrupted. A series of operations prepared by the axis powers in North Africa have been postponed, and the plan of Italy and Germany to jointly attack the Balkans has also been postponed indefinitely.

Of course, the British side got the opportunity to linger again. The British royal family boarded Iceland, where they hoarded supplies to prepare for a counterattack against the war-torn British mainland. Churchill issued a statement in London, shamelessly announced that the last moment of fighting back against Germany had come, and asked the people all over the world to unite against Germany's invasion and expansion. Of course, Stalin announced in his speech in Moscow that the European Revolution had arrived and that the war of the Soviet Union against Germany, the source of capitalist evil, had begun.

It was not the roar of akkado, the head of state, that answered these voices. It was the 5000 German tanks and nearly 4000 aircraft of various types that drove slowly towards the border area in silence. At 7:00 a.m. on April 6, the largest battle in human history officially began, and the Soviet German war began.

"Hey! I said... We're approaching the border. Watch out for the German planes. " Above the blue sky, a Soviet I-16 fighter modified into a closed cockpit is flying on the white clouds. The speed of this improved fighter has exceeded 450 km / h, which is a fairly advanced Soviet fighter. In the rear of this Soviet fighter, there are 110 Soviet fighters of the same type flying closely.

The fighters were ordered to cross the Soviet German border, cover the Soviet bombers and attackers after the war, and destroy the German front airports“ Red four, watch your sky! Watch your sky! I saw the German fighter! Oh, My God! I see the German fighters! " Inside the headphones, the commander of the fighter unit yelled. Now that the German army has known the arrival of the Soviet army, it will not be foolishly waiting for the Soviet air force to sneak attack on the airport. The German aircraft on the border accurately found the location of the Soviet aircraft fleet through the radar guidance on the ground“ German plane! German plane! Break up! Break up There were shouts everywhere in the headphones. Before the second lieutenant klinovich, who was flying in the middle of the Soviet fleet, made any response in his own plane, the disaster came to his Soviet flying force. At a distance of nearly 1000 meters, the highly dominant German air force suddenly opened fire. This time, the German air force used rockets on a large scale for the first time in air combat. Each German fighter can carry about 8 large caliber rockets, and hundreds of fighters can launch rockets at one go. We can imagine how spectacular the scene is. It's hard for the fighter pilots of the Red Army of the Soviet Union. In order to better command and fight, they are flying in a dense air formation at this moment. Below them are the Soviet bombers and attack aircraft groups as bait. The whole air formation is densely divided into three layers, each with a dense formation of nearly 100 planes, Won't you drive so many German rockets? After such a moment of hesitation, the flying formation of the Soviet aircraft was completely opened. One by one, the planes were hit by German rockets and became a group of gorgeous fireworks, which exploded in the air. A good flying formation was only a few seconds before it was hit by the German air force“ climb! climb! Avoid German fighters! look out! Watch your left wing! Speed up! Idiot There were shouts everywhere in the earphones. Klinovich quickly flew his plane and began to climb. The wingman, who was only one second slower than him, was hit by the German 30mm machine gun and fell to the ground with smoke. However, he bumped into another falling Soviet plane in mid air and burst into flames. German fighter planes began to dive attack, killing the backward Soviet I-16 fighter at the dominant distance and altitude. In such a short battle, at least 150 Soviet planes of various types crashed, while the German air force had almost no loss. The fighter planes of the two sides fought at an altitude of 8000 meters, which was the most suitable altitude for German fighters. German pilots played with their Soviet opponents like a game. Soon, the order of retreat came from the earphone. Klinovich looked at the few remaining friendly planes in the sky and sped up to get into the clouds. As a Soviet pilot, he was lucky today, because he was not watched by the German pilot until the end, and as a Soviet air force on this day, he was unfortunate, He witnessed with his own eyes the gap in the strength of the two air forces and the process of the Soviet air force losing its air supremacy. For the Soviet air force, the disaster of this day has just begun. After the German Air Force knocked out several Soviet air forces that were going to attack, the bombers covering the black sky appeared over the Soviet airport. On this day, the Soviets were ready to attack. They expected that the air force had destroyed the German airfield and gained local air supremacy in the battlefield by this time - but the returning Soviet pilots were bereaved. Before they cried about their tragic defeat, the German bombing fleet arrived. This day is destined to belong to the German air force. After shooting down 970 Soviet fighters in the sky, the German Air Force's assault paralyzed 1500 Soviet fighters on the ground. On April 7, the next day, the Soviet air force, which was able to take off to fight against the German fighters, had only 110 pathetic fighters. What they had to face was their German counterparts with a total of more than 1000.
