Chapter 929

"What? Make it clear! What do you mean you've been attacked? " A Soviet officer, holding his microphone, yelled, "bombed by enemy planes? What about your air defense camouflage? What? "

Zhukov stared coldly at the dozen telephones in front of him, and every officer who answered the phone seemed to be very busy. From the beginning of the attack, German planes were constantly interfering with the Soviet advance. These planes bombed bridges and road nodes, bombed villages, and destroyed Soviet supply depots like flies.

The German air force is doing its best to support the German ground forces. Take off fighters are hung with bombs, use the opportunity to carry out air patrol, to destroy those as many as possible of the Soviet armored forces.

Along the route of the Soviet Army going south, we can see the Soviet vehicles with thick smoke everywhere, as well as the bodies lined up on both sides of the road. These poor soldiers were killed by the enemy's planes before they saw the enemy they were supposed to destroy. Although the Soviet air force also made great efforts to interfere with the German air force, they rarely achieved success except for paying the price of blood.

Hartman accompanied his flying troops to the southern front, responsible for ruling the sky here. He was like an emperor flying in his own field, patrolling his territory. The black tulip has become a legend, a legend completely belonging to the east line. In this story, the plane is the king of the whole east line, and uses magic flying skills to kill those who challenge him.

Soviet pilots set up countless sets to kill the black god of death, who inspired the whole German flying force. However, they could only add a few iron crosses on the fuselage of this terrible ta-152 fighter.

Later, because there were too many achievements painted on the fuselage of the fighter with the black tulip on the nose, the German air force had to re plan the position of the marks of the achievements and transfer the achievements from the lower part of the fighter's cabin to the wider position of the tail.

Of course, Hartman is not the most Mythical Man in the battle of ground attack. Because the trump card of the ground attack aircraft in the German air force is a genius named ruder. With more than ten days of combat effectiveness, he drove his three new Stuka 2 attack aircraft to take off 400 sorties at one go and destroyed more than 900 targets.

The reason is that three stuka-2 airplanes were shot down twice, and miraculously escaped twice, and continued to be active in the front line of attacking ground targets. The legendary man claims to kill all the targets he sees, including trucks, anti-aircraft guns and even a motorcycle.

These crazy German pilots brought huge losses to the Soviet Union. According to statistics after the war, almost one fifth of the Soviet tanks were destroyed by the German air force. Without the efforts of these German pilots, goodrian's G group army would face at least a quarter more enemies.

In order to achieve this success, the German Air Force has 210 aircraft shot down or crashed due to failure, losing 106 pilots. In this way, these young lives disappeared in the sky and became the cold names on the monument of the German air force.

But they are lucky, because as long as they are air force pilots, they can at least find their names. However, many soldiers who gave their lives for the motherland did not even leave their own names. No matter how huge the monument was, they could not engrave the names of millions of infantry.

At the headquarters of the front line, Zhukov got the first-hand information that the German Army started to fight back locally. He was not sure whether it was because the German Army started to fight back comprehensively or because some of the German army here had "temporary intention".

His troops lost a lot of armored forces in continuous operations, thousands of tanks of various types became scrap iron, and more than 90000 soldiers died in the advancing positions. For the first time in the past three months, the Soviet army has lost so many troops, and these troops are still the most valuable main armored force of the Soviet army.

The commander of G group army and his old opponent goodrian suffered the same heavy losses, but the feelings of both sides were absolutely different. Even if G group army was completely destroyed, the German army only lost an armored group army. At least a group army also had a large number of armored troops. Unlike Zhukov, his army is the only main armored force accumulated by the Soviet Union. If he is completely lost here, he can only wait to lose the war.

However, he also had his own advantage, that is, no matter how much he lost, once he defeated the German G group army going north, he could regain the initiative in the battlefield and completely defeat Germany's strategic attempt to go south to capture the Caucasus. From this perspective, most of the losses of the Soviet army were tolerable, which was the main reason why Zhukov insisted on attacking.

"You mean that we encountered a new German tank unit near here. You destroyed three new tanks, suffered heavy losses, and finally won the position. Then the German army immediately put in forces to fight back?" Zhukov frowned and asked the division commander who came to report. The other side looked depressed and seemed to have lost too many troops, which made the division commander feel distressed.

"Yes, they put in a lot of Tiger tanks, there should be more than 30. Our troops have suffered heavy losses in the previous attacks, so we can't organize effective defense at all. " The teacher bowed his head and answered Zhukov's question. Zhukov felt his heart twitching when he heard the "confession of truth" of the division commander. He came to another translation of the truth: when he attacked the German position garrisoned by five tanks, the Soviet army lost dozens of tanks. Now dozens of other tanks counterattacked, and he lost dozens of tanks. His troops retreated to the starting position and did not seize an inch of land, Hundreds of tanks are missing. This kind of loss is also unacceptable for Zhukov, who has a lot of money. Although he has thousands of tanks as his capital, there are absolutely no more than 3000 tanks that can be used to fight against the German armored forces. There are kv-1b tanks, T-34 tanks and a small number of Stalin tanks which are temporarily modified with guns, but these tanks only account for less than half of all his tanks. The rest of the goods are T-26 "reconnaissance tanks" that we don't like. By the name, we know that these tanks are similar to the German armored reconnaissance vehicles; There are also some old-fashioned KV-1 tanks, as well as the KV-1 tanks that have repaired their reliability and finally can be used together... As for the big head dolls like kv-2, the Soviets now consciously no longer produce them. However, even so, these tanks are being consumed at the speed visible to the naked eye. Under the dual devastation of the German air force and German armored forces, the Soviet army has lost almost 1000 tanks. Although most of them are T-26 and KV-1 tanks used for reconnaissance, the loss is undoubtedly heartbreaking. Moreover, just now, one of the main forces of the Soviet Union was annihilated in a newly gnawed protrusion. These tanks are not just make up bullshit T-26 and outdated KV-1 tanks. It's the brand new T-34, the Stalin tank, and some of the kv-1b "super kV" with improved artillery. Unfortunately, as a top commander of the Soviet army, Marshal Zhukov did not know that the five tanks in front of his troops were the most elite 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion of the German army, and that the weakest rookie in the army was also the trump card in destroying more than 10 Soviet tanks. Of course, he didn't know that he almost killed the No. 113 unit, which ranked second in the trump card list of German armored forces, and he didn't know that the No. 112 tank was also a regular on the list. If he knew this, he would be relieved, right? At least he had a chance to take out a German super ace fleet with superior forces. But now he didn't know that. He was lamenting the gap between his troops and the Germans“ The loss of your troops is too great. I will arrange for your division to be moved to the back to rest. " Zhukov waved his hand, then turned to his chief of staff and asked, "Comrade chief of staff, the ace in tank warfare, who was transferred from Stalingrad and called Wolf's chief, has he arrived at the front line?" His words brightened the eyes of the chief of staff standing on one side. Of course, as the chief of staff, he knew what his superior's question represented. It can be said that Zhukov's asking out of this sentence meant that he was ready to put in elite armored forces and fight well with German tanks. The winner will be known in the next few days. How can it make him not excited? How can it make him not excited? The victory or defeat of the Soviet Union in the first World War finally started with its own participation! Thinking of this, the chief of staff immediately said, "marshal, he arrived here a few hours ago. We gave him and his crew a brand-new Stalin tank with an American imported sight. Listen to the commander of the first guard assault unit say that they are ready to fight for the motherland! "“ Good Zhukov smiles and nods. He looks at the map on the wall. There is a voice in his heart shouting: goodrian, now I'm really attacking. What about you? How to face my attack again? He pointed to the protrusion which was recaptured by the German army, and solemnly ordered: "let them recapture this position! Destroy German tanks as much as possible“ Yes The chief of staff stood at attention, saluted, and replied that the third night peddler asked for a monthly ticket~
