Chapter 766: So we only allow victory and do not allow defeat

Weapons and military supplies! If we still have no way to defeat these Soviet troops, which are inferior to us in weapons and equipment, I am afraid that our SS Führer Grenadier Division will lose face! ”

"So we only allow victory, not defeat!"

"Otherwise, I'll be the first to not let go of those who lost the battle! Punish them severely! ”

Major Erich Schmidt also suddenly came down seriously.

After a few more chats, they immediately continued to devote themselves to the work of commanding the operation.

At this time, the Anglo-American Special Mix 20 aircraft carrier fleet, which had 72 ships and 6 aircraft carriers, was also fighting with the Soviet Baltic Fleet; Mobilization was carried out to the sea area around Leningrad in preparation for participation in the Leningrad-Novgorod campaign.

The Baltic Fleet dispatched sorties from their main bases, Tallinn, the Mon Channel Islands and the Hanko naval base, as well as all of them; Even Hanko's garrison attacked together.

And the long-range bomber groups of the Baltic Fleet also took off from airfields on the island of Saaremaa one after another.

Only this time their combat mission was not to bomb the German capital of Kashira, but to bomb the German army in Moder on the outskirts of Leningrad, and to assist the army commanded by Zhukov in the operation to recover Leningrad.

Moreover, this time, with the strong support of Stalin, the Baltic Fleet also sent more than 120,000 naval officers and men to strengthen the land defense positions and ensure the defensive and operational deployment of the Leningrad Front.

In addition, together with the British and American troops, a large number of British and American amphibious marines were transported to the flanks and rear of the German army, preparing for a sneak attack operation.

In short, Stalin and Zhukov agreed to use the artillery support of the Baltic Fleet as the most powerful firepower backing in Leningrad, at least in this Leningrad-Novgorod campaign, which was launched earlier than the original history, and was responsible for suppressing the artillery positions of the artillery forces of the Moder troops, so that the power of the German artillery cover attack was reduced and weakened.

So this time the aviation, marines, naval guns and coastal artillery of the Baltic Fleet all sorted; Most of their reserves, including their reserves, were dispatched to assist Zhukov's troops in the Leningrad-Novgorod campaign.

Moreover, the Red Banner Baltic Fleet is assisted in operations under the close coordination of their long-range air forces, coupled with the support of the British and American aircraft carrier fleets and the amphibious marine forces formed by Britain and the United States, the confidence and confidence of the Baltic Fleet are unprecedentedly strong.

Moreover, the Soviet troops in this campaign intend to fully form a deep echelon configuration of their army's battle formation; and the use of the tactics of the second echelon to capture all the fortified areas and stubborn strategic support points of the German army in the Leningrad area.

At the beginning of the Battle of Leningrad, it was because Hitler's German elite troops could not be attacked for a long time, so the German army had no choice but to use blockade tactics to encircle Leningrad on three sides, preparing to cut off the food passage in the city of Leningrad, so as to starve all the Soviet troops and residents in the city of Leningrad alive.

It's a pity that his siege plan not only did not succeed, but also allowed the Soviet army to contain a lot of troops in Leningrad, and in the end, the Soviet army gradually succeeded in counterattacking.

Therefore, in order to avoid Hitler's defeat, Chen Yanlong planned to use large-scale new weapons and equipment to measure and consume the living forces of the Soviet army in this Leningrad-Novgorod battle......

In the command room of the Essex-class aircraft carrier, Vice Admiral Fletcher, Rear Admiral Neuss, and Rear Admiral DeWitt Ramsay and others also stood with sharp eyes, observing the departure of the Task Force 20 aircraft carrier fleet.

"It's finally time to set off to attack the German aircraft carrier fleet!"

In the silence, Major General Noyce was the first to speak.

"Yes! I wonder what the strength of the German aircraft carrier fleet we are about to face is? Will it be more and more powerful than the ships of our aircraft carrier fleet? ”

Maj. Gen. DeWitt Ramsay also chimed in.

And when he spoke, his facial expression was still relatively nervous and a little uneasy.

It may have something to do with his cautious personality, but he is also shrewd in commanding his fleet in battle.

"No matter what the combat effectiveness of the German aircraft carrier fleet is, our special 20 aircraft carrier fleet will definitely not lose, and it will definitely not be able to lose!"

"And isn't this battle also assisted by the huge Baltic Fleet of the Soviet Army?"

"Although the strength of their fleet is not as strong as ours, it is better to have a surplus fleet to support the operation than not there, how easy the fleet is to do things!"

"At the very least, we can win more and less, so we don't have to worry about whether we can beat the damn German carrier fleet!"

"For us now, our goal is to assist the Soviets in recovering Leningrad, as well as to inflict heavy damage on the German aircraft carrier fleet deployed in the Baltic Sea, or to annihilate them completely!"

However, Lieutenant General Fletcher interrupted the conversation between Major General DeWitt Ramsay and the two of them in a clear and affirmative tone.
