Chapter 1063

"Drop the bomb!" On a bumpy do-217 bomber, a German bomber's eyes are glued to the sight, pressing the crosshairs depicted on the sight onto the buildings that don't look very valuable. Then he pressed the button to drop the bomb, and his body felt the slight shaking when the plane dropped the bomb, then the second and third, until he could not remember the number of times.

Row after row of aerial bombs are thrown out of the belly of the do-217 bomber by the catapult, and then fly to their own landing points in a parabola in the air. Some landing points are not important targets because of the height problem, but limited to the bombing accuracy in World War II, such waste is very necessary.

The bombs extended from the edge of the city to the inside of the city. One building after another collapsed. On the flat road, there were huge craters one after another. The diameter of these craters was more than 10 meters. The surrounding buildings trembled in the explosion and finally collapsed.

The city of Kursk has become less secure. The German air force, which has been replenished with fuel, is like fighting chicken blood. Every day, it hovers from morning to evening, hitting all the targets they can see, so as to prove how polite, harmonious and friendly they have become before.

Because they are no longer limited by the shortage of fuel, the number of patrols of German fighters is finally proportional to the huge number they have. Every day, dozens of German fighters hover in the sky of the battlefield. Sometimes, these reluctant pilots will dive down and fire 30mm caliber axial artillery shells at the targets they see.

"Marshal, oberyan has fallen..." a staff officer dusted the dust from the roof of his shoulder and handed a message to Marshal Zhukov, who was reviewing the supply list of the garrison in the direction of klenevo and relisk. German bombers were flying in groups outside the window, But the bombing site is a little bit away from their headquarters.

Zhukov took the document, just looked at it, and put it on the table to review the document: "I know. Send a telegram to Moscow and tell them that oboyan has been captured by the German army. From this moment on, the situation of our army in Kursk has been very bad."

"General konev of the first front army called. In the station controlled by his troops, there was a passing train with 30 su-76 self-propelled anti tank guns on it. He asked the marshal if you could let them take the equipment away An officer came in with another piece of information. He was obviously not as calm as the first staff officer. He buckled his helmet on his head and carefully observed the cracks on the roof of the shed.

"Trust me, comrade." Zhukov took the document, then pointed to the cracks on the roof of the shed, and said, "if it collapses and buries us below, then you and I can really lie here with peace of mind. Living people are really suffering, aren't they?"

He glanced at the document, then nodded, and said to the officer who was still giggling with embarrassment, "call konev immediately, tell him I totally agree with him, and let him distribute all the equipment to his own troops! Go ahead! Send this telegram at once

"Yes! Comrade Marshal The officer stood at attention, saluted, and then hurried out of the room, which was almost dangerous. In fact, sandbags are piled outside these courtyard walls, which can be said to be one of the safest places. If it was not for the direct hit of the bomb, it would be difficult for this one story building to collapse.

"Marshal, Guderian's grenadiers are attacking medvedenka along the road. Our soldiers have been fighting for more than ten days. The front line is short of ammunition. There is no way to stop the advance of the German army." The staff officer who reported the news of the fall of oboyan said to Zhukov in an anxious tone.

Zhukov took a look at his men and then laughed: "the Germans have been fighting for more than ten days in a row, so the main problem you mentioned is the arms and supplies. If we had enough ammunition and tanks, the German offensive would have been contained, wouldn't it? "

"You are right, comrade marshal. But now the German army is approaching medvedenka. If we don't think about it, it will be occupied by the German army very soon. " "If it is occupied by the German army, Kursk will not be able to defend," the staff officer said plaintively

"Comrades of the staff." Zhukov gave a wry smile, and then interrupted the former's self talk: "Kursk couldn't hold on three months ago, which is a fact that we had expected for a long time. Now that the German army has just begun to attack, it is actually slower than I expected. "

By this time, the explosion outside had gone away, and it was obvious that the German bombing was coming to an end. He went to the window and looked out at the German bombers in the sky, who had formed a triangle formation and had already flown away: "it seems that the German generals still care more about the lives of the soldiers than I do, and they delayed the attack time, so they also made the soldiers more fully prepared."

As he said this, he pointed to the documents on the table which he had placed in an important position and explained to his opponent: "look at those documents, the scale of German armored forces encountered in various regions. These intelligence shows that the number of German G group troops which were confirmed by investigation a few days ago is almost the same as that of G group troops six months ago, At least 1000 tanks are in every sector of my line of defense. "

This figure made Zhukov very desperate, because the number of tanks in the armored forces of G group army before the first battle of Kursk was about this scale. After a defeat, the German army quickly made up for the loss, and even let the G army still maintain its original fighting capacity after the loss. Compared with goodrian, the number of tanks in Zhukov's armored group has dropped by half. Including the lost light tanks, Zhukov's originally huge armored forces are now only two troops deployed northward. How can Zhukov not be disheartened by such a huge speed of equipment replenishment“ It is reported that the troops of the 3rd panzer division of the main ss of the goodrian group army on our flank suddenly went north and moved into the city of wolovo overnight, where they just captured it. " An officer came into Zhukov's headquarters with the latest battle report. Without leaving the marshal too much sentimental time, he reported a disastrous news. Wolovo is a town in Lipetsk state. If the German army captured it, it would be possible to bite the tail of the first front army of the Soviet Union's guards in the process of going north, causing great losses to konev's troops. It might even be impossible to go north and enter the Moscow war zone smoothly“ What's going on? The German army was still in Kursk a day ago Zhukov was stunned when he heard the news, and then immediately felt that the battle was a little puzzling. Generally speaking, the German army will not carry out such a large-scale movement at night. This is the experience he has gained from fighting with the German army for more than a year, and it is a very reliable experience. Generally, the troops that have the advantage in firepower and heavy weapons are not willing to encounter and fight with the enemy at night. It is a very idiotic thing to invest more money to build expensive heavy troops and fight with the enemy at night. Therefore, the main reason why the general dominant parties are not willing to fight at night is not that they are not good at fighting at night, but that they prefer to play their firepower in the daytime. However, the German armored forces drove such a long way overnight and directly captured wolovo, which was very far away from them. This made the sensitive Zhukov realize a breath of danger: "there is a problem in this! There must be something wrong In fact, the reason is very simple, because the third armored division of the SS was equipped with new tiger king tanks and used expensive night vision devices. Because of this, they can make a large-scale attack at night, and because of this, they dare to attack so far at night. Although the night vision system was very expensive and not suitable for tank operations at night, the German army found a way to use it. They use these expensive infrared night vision devices to guide troops to advance at night, rather than consuming these expensive equipment in high-risk battlefield. In fact, the night vision system of the armed forces is very fragile and needs to be installed on the top of the tank turret in advance, similar to a searchlight. This kind of equipment is not suitable for use in the battlefield of stray bullets, and it is easy to be damaged. And the first generation of infrared equipment is easy to be interfered by various light sources in the dark, the actual combat performance is very general. However, it is very convenient and safe to drive at night, so the German army can drive the tank more confidently at night. Of course, at this stage, this kind of equipment is still in the stage of confidentiality, so Zhukov can't know that the German tanks are equipped with night vision devices, which are like black technology. He just instinctively feels strange and feels that the German army has some new toys“ In addition, marshal, Moscow is calling to ask you to follow the last batch of troops to the Moscow war zone as soon as possible to take charge of the defense work there. " The officer who sent the message took out the second message and said to Zhukov, who was still thinking, "the great leader, comrade Stalin, issued the order in person. When will you start?"“ Just... Now. " Zhukov was interrupted, but he didn't say much. He stood up and looked at the room where he had lived for a long time. Finally, he focused on the portrait of Stalin in the middle of the wall.
