284 The meat grinder is on the rise

As soon as the Luftwaffe bombers were dark, the sky on the west side of Baranovichi was already black, and the defenders looked at the huge group of planes in the sky, expecting to blow the enemy up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The successive hard battles made Li Ling also exhausted, although he successfully knocked out the enemy's artillery group, and only paid the price of four Tiger tanks and six Leopard tanks to remove the biggest threat, but he still had some pain, this is the most elite trump card in his hands, how many Tiger tanks are there in total, and now a battle has only begun two hours, and four have been lost!

But the battle losses of the Huaxia First Division are not only this!

In order to cover the attack of the 6th Heavy Tank Brigade, the 2nd Tank Brigade and the 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigade, which were responsible for attracting firepower, suffered considerable battle losses, and the casualties and equipment losses had reached almost unacceptable one-tenth!

Therefore, when Li Ling saw the Stuka swarm flying in the sky like locusts transiting, he was truly relieved, and his hanging heart finally let go.

Although it is still impossible to get in touch with the main forces, and I don't know how far the battle line is from Baranovichi at this time, such a large group of bombers shows that the Supreme Command has put most of the main forces that can be mobilized in its own direction, and it is only a matter of time before the 1st Huaxia Division needs to hold on for too long!

The soldiers after the fierce battle were also ecstatic, they were excited, they ran to tell each other, they knew that they were no longer alone!

However......

How could the Soviet Air Force, which was almost wiped out at the very first moment of the war, not know the significance of this siege of Baranovichi?

How could the Soviet commanders-in-chief, who were in the rear, fail to think about the importance of air supremacy?

How could Stalin in the Kremlin not consider the power of the Luftwaffe during the day to be powerful enough to turn the battlefield upside down?

Just when Li Ling was relieved and planned to arrange the troops to prepare for the next round of Soviet attacks, and when everyone in the German High Command was waiting for the air force to send the Russians to hell, something that no one expected happened without a call-up!

Li Ling originally thought that because the Luftwaffe had complete air supremacy, the Soviets would definitely take the lead in launching another attack on Baranovichi, so that the troops of both sides would be as close as possible, so that the Luftwaffe would not dare to bomb easily, and at the same time, it would also make the troops more dispersed and not suffer too heavy losses.

However, the scene in the sky told Li Ling that Stalin's determination to besiege Baranovich and eat the 1st Huaxia Division was far greater than he imagined, and the mobilization ability of the Soviet Red Army really showed its amazing energy for the first time at this time.

Originally, there were only German bombers in the sky, and countless black flowers suddenly bloomed, which were shells fired by anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and this almost impermeable air defense net was not opened in advance at all, but waited until the Luftwaffe was very close to the sky above their positions, and suddenly opened fire at the same time!

Such a sudden blow caused the Luftwaffe to suffer extremely heavy losses, and almost instantly, several planes were destroyed, pulling black smoke and crashing into the ground!

"Airplanes, airplanes, planes of the Soviets!"

Li Ling, who witnessed all this, had not yet recovered from the shock, and a soldier rushed to the command post.

It was almost all the planes in Stalin's hands that could reach Baranovichi overnight, and he threw everything he had to annihilate Baranovichi's German army in one fell swoop!

"It's over, it's all over now......"

"Why do you shut up Lao Tzu, who told you that it was over? This is just the beginning! Do you think the Russians can use those broken planes? And for their point of air defense, if it were not carefully arranged, I am afraid that it would not be enough to inflict any losses on the Imperial Air Force! ”

Hearing a staff officer's dejected voice, Kirsch immediately scolded him back with a dark face.

The situation in front of him almost confirms the fact that the Soviets have concentrated almost all the troops that can be mobilized here, and their purpose is to put themselves to death, Kirsch has no idea what this battle will be like, but he will never allow his staff officers to say such things, this is a big taboo, which will make the entire army unstable!

"Alright, stop arguing, we should make some moves next!"

This is already about to become a major battle, and the 1st Huaxia Division, as the center of the storm, must seek some changes to prevent this battle from turning this small city into a meat grinder like the Somme in World War I, and its own troops should not be sheep thrown into the meat grinder!

"Do the action? Are we looking for a breakthrough? ”

Hearing Li Ling say that he had to make some moves, all the people's eyes lit up, and they naturally thought that Li Ling's meaning must be to choose a direction as a breakthrough, instead of staying here and watching the people outside fight, and their own people waiting for death in the center of the storm.

"Yes, we must look for a direction to make a breakthrough and use our strength to change the existing situation as much as possible! The air defense of the Soviet army was far beyond expectations, and presumably the command did not expect that the Soviet army would be able to gather so many air defense forces here in such a short time, and at the same time there would be a Soviet air force! Although the Soviet Air Force was not much in quantity and in poor quality, it was still a variable! ”

"The only one who can keep the tide of battle from strangulation right now is us, our force at the center of the storm! Moreover, the most important problem is that our Air Force was blocked on the western side of Baranovich, while the Soviet Air Force could come above us unhindered! What kind of problems exist in our army, I think everyone should be very clear in their hearts at this time! ”

"Damn! Air defence! We have absolutely no air defense! ”

Li Ling's words made everyone's hearts chill, it was simply creepy!

In fact, this is also something that Li Ling did not consider when he first formed the Huaxia First Division, from Poland to France to Britain, and now to the Soviet Union, whether Li Ling is a soldier or as a car commander, company commander, regiment commander, and even the current division commander, the sky on the battlefield has always been under the control of the Luftwaffe, and no enemy can gain a foothold under the powerful firepower of the Luftwaffe!

Therefore, he has always ignored that once there is no Luftwaffe, his troops are powerless to fight back in the face of the threat from the sky!

This is the reason why he must make a breakthrough! He didn't want to stay in Baranovichi and wait to be blown up by the Soviets with those broken planes that were seriously behind the times!
