As soon as his order was given, the anti-aircraft artillery of all SS12 armored divisions immediately counterattacked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In particular, the Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns played an important role, and their counterattack was one of the most powerful anti-aircraft firepower of the German army.

Under their fast and precise attacks, none of the Il-2 strike planes could get close to their air defenses, and many planes were destroyed.

Either they were forced to increase their flight distance by the powerful counterattack of the Cheetah's self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery group, or they dodged left and right.

When the anti-aircraft artillery team of the German SS12 Panzer Division launched a counterattack, the anti-aircraft fire groups of other German units also assisted one by one to carry out air defense.

And those Leopard and Tiger tank groups also took advantage of this gap to quickly evacuate.

At this time, outside Moder's temporary headquarters, Moder had already walked out, ready to go to the front line to observe the battle situation.

It's just that at this time, the chief operational staff officer, John, and the chief of staff, Everfeldt, also hurried to him.

"How's the battle on the front now?"

As soon as they met, General Moder immediately asked anxiously.

"Soviet air reinforcements are carrying out large-scale bombardment on all fronts, and their aircraft groups are also bombarding with a large number of RBSK-82 shaped rockets and PTAB-1.5/2.5 aerial bombs."

"Our tank groups and defensive positions, as well as the soldiers on the battlefield, have lost a lot!"

Chief of Staff Everfelt replied anxiously.

"And what about our air forces? Where did they go again? Won't you come to help us drive out the enemy? ”

Hearing this, General Moder immediately became furious.

"They have just finished attacking the positions of the Soviet troops, and now they have flown back for refueling and replenishing ammunition, as well as pilots!"

Chief of Staff Everfelt replied a little helplessly.

“…….”

Hearing such a reply, Moder was also speechless for a while.

"When did our aviation force become so vulnerable and weak!"

It took a long time for him to continue scolding.

"I don't know! However, I heard that the people who wanted them to rush back immediately this time, in addition to their aviation commander, seemed to have an order from the Führer! ”

Chief of Staff Everfelt smiled wryly.

"The Führer's order? How did I not know? Isn't the Führer there in Sicily, inspecting the Waffen-SS? How did he get here? ”

After hearing this, Moder stared at Chief of Staff Everfelt with a puzzled face.

"The Führer didn't come to us! It was he who called from the temporary command of Sicilian Guderian! ”

Chief of Staff Everfeldt explained.

"Hmmm! Guderian also went to Sicily? ”

When Moder heard this, he was shocked.

"Yes! The Führer sent him to Sicily to command the 2nd SS Panzer Corps, as well as the 15th Panzer Division, and the Goering Panzer Division, all the combat units stationed in Sicily, ready to meet the British and American forces there! ”

Chief of Staff Everfeldt explained again with a look of you don't know.

"I didn't know anything about such a big thing! I didn't even know that Guderian had been promoted again! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Modell's mouth opened wide and he was shocked again.

"Because General Moder, you've been concentrating all your energy on the local battle in Kursk lately! So there's no other mind to focus on other things! ”

Chief Operations Staff Officer John interjected again, as usual, unguardedly.

"Yes! I've been really paying too much attention to things here lately, so I really don't care about other people and things as you said! ”

Modell sighed softly, agreeing a little physically and mentally.

"In fact, now not only Guderian has been reused by the Führer, but even Rommel has been reactivated as a marshal, and he seems to be the commander of Army Group B that is being formed!"

At this moment, Chief of Staff Everfeldt once again threw a bombshell message to Modell.

"What! Even Rommel turned over! ”

Moder, who was shocked by the bombshell news of Chief of Staff Everfeldt, exclaimed in amazement with wide eyes.

"Yes! Now many officers are beginning to know, and I only found out in the past two days! ”

Chief of Staff Everfelt shrugged his shoulders and explained.

"What the hell is going on, why are all salted fish turning over, getting promoted and getting rich?"

Moder muttered in deep confusion.

"Maybe it's because the Führer has recently purged a large number of generals and high-ranking officers, so it's in urgent need of talent now! Aren't you also just appointed by the Führer as commander of the 2nd Panzer Army Group? General Moder! And the Führer seems to have told you about these things! Is it that you are too busy and forget for a while! ”

Chief of Staff Everfeldt replied without the slightest hint of surprise.

“……”

was said by the other party, but Moder was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say to refute it.

"Ahem! I think it would be better for you two to return our conversation to our current situation! ”

Chief Operations Staff Officer John, who had been watching quietly for a while, suddenly coughed a few times and said.

"That's right! Then the thing I want to know most now is why did the Führer also give the order to call back all the planes of the 1st Air Force at this critical operational moment? ”

General Modell, who came back to his senses, suddenly asked with a puzzled face.

"We don't know about this yet! The Führer did not send us a telegram explaining and did not give orders to the commander of the 1st Air Force for any new combat operations! But one thing is certain, we have inside information from the air force that the commander of the 1st Air Force, and the commander of the 4th and 6th air forces seem to be in an emergency meeting! ”

Chief of Staff Everfeldt said hurriedly.

"Meeting? We are now in the danger of being bombed indiscriminately by the Soviet aviation units, and they are still in such a good mood for a meeting? What kind of meeting are they having now? ”

Upon hearing this, Moder immediately said angrily.

"I don't know! I'm not a staff officer of the Air Force, who knows what they're up to right now! ”

Chief of Staff Everfelt shook his head and replied.

“……”

Moder was momentarily annoyed by the other party.

"Alright! In this case, we will not rely on the support of those bastards, we will rely on our own anti-aircraft artillery to deal with the attack of the Soviet army! That's right! Didn't the Führer equip us with a large number of anti-aircraft artillery groups, and those powerful Cheetah self-propelled anti-aircraft gun groups, as well as those amazingly powerful anti-aircraft machine guns? Are they all participating in air defense operations now? ”

Modell waved the instructor's whip in his hand and said angrily.

"They're all in the fight, and their air defenses are pretty strong! Many Soviet planes were shot down, especially the Soviet planes in the defensive positions of the Soviet 15th Infantry Division, which we are now attacking, and they were even more suppressed by them! Make the ferocious attack power of those Soviet planes! There is no way to carry out an unscrupulous attack on the outside tank group, and soldiers! ”

Chief of Staff Everfelt nodded in response.
