Chapter 256: On the Eve of the Storm Before the Battle on the Eastern Front

"Stop thinking nonsense! What's wrong with you all today, so shocked, like a stunned person, where have your usual calm personalities gone? ”

Looking at Staff Officer John and Chief of Staff Everfeldt, who didn't know what to think in the confusion, Moder said unhappily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Excuse me! We're rude! ”

When Moder said this, the two of them suddenly blushed and said embarrassedly.

Especially Staff Officer John, even if he was faced with a bad thing, he was relatively calm and calmly trying to deal with it, but now he was frightened by the big moves of the Soviet army.

So he was also very embarrassed and ashamed.

"Before you come to us, the Führer is already preparing for our evacuation operation, and it won't be long before a large number of Fa-223 Dragon helicopters and C-130 Hercules transport planes will come and transport our troops away one by one!"

Moder spoke suddenly.

"What! By doing this, does the Führer mean that Kharkov, Belgorod and other regions will be abandoned immediately? ”

After hearing this, Staff Officer John and the others widened their eyes again, as if they had heard something incredible, and said in shock.

"I don't know much about this question! Because the Führer didn't say much, he just said that Kharkov, and Belgorod were about to become the focus of the air war; So the Führer did not allow us to deploy troops here, even the reconnaissance troops did not approve it! ”

Modell explained.

"Shhh Could it be that the Führer has made some big moves? ”

Hearing this, Staff Officer John couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed.

"Hmmm! It should be! ”

At this moment, Moder also suddenly recalled the previous times when Chen Yanlong dispatched new equipment to carry out terrifying bombing of the Soviet army, and responded with a shudder.

As for the staff officer John and the chief of staff Everfeldt, they couldn't help but shiver.

Because the two of them also recalled Chen Yanlong's order for the air force to drop cloudburst bombs and white phosphorus bombs on the Soviet army.

The war scene of a terrorist bombing that killed and injured thousands of people in a short period of time is definitely something that the two of them will never forget.

"That's it! I've said what I'm going to say! Go now, according to the Führer's orders, and order all the soldiers under our command to prepare for a total retreat! ”

After calming down, Moder regained his original image of iron blood and continued.

"What about the civilian population in the areas we evacuated, and what about the food and substance? Is it to continue the scorched earth policy? ”

Chief of Staff Everfelt hurriedly asked.

"Give all the food and supplies to the common people here! As for where they like to go, let them go! This is the Führer's order! ”

Modell shook his head and said.

"Yes! Marshal Moder! ”

In response to the other party's answer, Chief of Staff Everfeldt trembled slightly, and immediately nodded in response.

Because at this moment, he completely felt in his heart the change in the personality of the Führer to whom he was loyal.

In his mind, the current Führer is no longer the murderous madman he used to be.

Although the current Führer is still at war, he is not simply a devil who only knows how to kill, but a person who cares about the life and death of his subordinates, soldiers, and some unarmed civilians.

In addition to the fact that he felt this way, John, the staff officer standing beside him, also had the same thoughts as Moder.

At this time, all the aviation units of the entire German army were surging in the dark tide, and they were in the midst of Chen Yanlong's deployment of troops, and began to deploy before the war.

Around June 1941, the total strength of the Luftwaffe was about 170; There are probably more than 4,800 front-line combat aircraft; These air units were also organized into five air units, in addition to a large number of anti-aircraft artillery, paratroopers, communications, and logistics units.

And Goering, who had not yet been purged by Chen Yanlong at that time, succeeded in invading the Soviet Union; He devoted three-quarters of the Air Force to the Eastern Front, with more than 4,000 aircraft, most of which were bombers.

However, in 1941, the total number of aircraft produced by the German army's logistics was still as high as more than 10,000.

It was only after several years of fierce fighting that before July 1943, there were only about 2,800 aircraft that the German army could fight on the Eastern Front, and even if its client states and second-line aircraft were counted, there were less than 3,000.

Even the number of aircraft of the 4th Air Force, the most powerful of the German army on the Eastern Front, was only about 1800.

But fortunately, after Chen Yanlong's rebirth through the crossing, he used his exchange system to exchange more than 8,000 planes for the German army, and it was also the most advanced jet aircraft during World War II, as well as new aircraft such as Ta-152 fighters to redress and train the German air force.

In addition to this, he exchanged for an additional 1,000 Fw190A-5/R6 fighters, and gave Speer almost 2,000 Fw190A-5/R6 fighters in full production for backup, either for sale or use by his own client nations.

Of course, Speer did not disappoint Chen Yanlong, because in 1943, under the full mobilization of the German aviation industry, Germany could produce more than 25,000 aircraft a year, and it is expected that by 1944, Germany's aircraft production will reach as many as 40,000.

Of course, most of these planes are Bf109 fighters, ju88 bombers, and other backward aircraft.

As for the Fw190A-5/R6 fighters, and the Ta-152 fighters, the production is definitely not so amazing.

And when all the air forces began to operate, Colonel Hajo Hermann, the founder of the wild boar tactics, Major Schnaufell, Germany's strongest night battle ace, Major Eder, the number one day heavy bomber hunter, the commander of the bomber unit and the commander of the 9th Air Army, Major General Dietsch Peltz, the commander of the JG26 wing, Lieutenant Colonel Pliler, the number one ace Captain Lange, the combat officer of the JV44 squadron, Steinhoff, and Garland, and Mirch also gathered together to wait for Chen Yanlong's arrival.

Of course, in addition to them, there were all the members of the entire JV44 squadron, including the senior wing commander and the top ace pilots of the river.

These people include Günther, Graf, Golob, Oshaw, Bell, Buckhorn, and Krupinski......

And not far behind them, on the airfield, more than 1,000 Ta-152 fighters are parked, ready to go.

In addition to waiting for Chen Yanlong's arrival, all the aviation units of the 1st, 4th, and 6th Air Forces, as well as all high-ranking aviation officers, were also gathering at the airfields on the Eastern Front in full swing to carry out pre-war deployments, and were also waiting for Chen Yanlong's arrival, or combat orders.
