March 20th is really a good day. Li Le couldn't help but think so in his heart. He planned to invade the Soviet Union on this day, only to be counterattacked by the Soviets on this day.

"Goering! My Imperial Marshal! When will the Air Force be able to seize air supremacy! I'm going to destroy the enemy's artillery positions! Li Le turned his head sideways and asked loudly to Goering, who was guarding next to the battle map.

"My Führer! The Air Force units have all taken off! The scale of the bombing even exceeded the scale of the operation to bomb London! The sky belongs to us! It must belong to us! Goering replied confidently.

Of course he is confident, and very confident. Before the start of the war, his pilots were provided with data from the Führer's shadow troops and knew the Soviet Air Force very well.

The Germans knew everything about the Soviet main fighter I-16 modification, and even knew that these aircraft did not even have a pressurized cockpit.

Goering had the F-190D fighter and the ME-109E fighter in his hand, and these planes were slightly stronger than the Spitfire in the world, much stronger than the Soviets.

These advanced fighters were piloted by Germany's battle-hardened aces, almost all of whom had fought in the Battle of Britain and were so experienced that they would make their opponents desperate.

The plan of the British war allowed Germany to train countless excellent pilots and expand the pilot replacement team.

With a strong foundation, Goering certainly had the self-confidence to destroy the weak Soviet Air Force and gain air supremacy over the battlefield.

1000 German fighters took off ahead of schedule, and by this time they had already crossed the borders of the USSR. They were intercepted by 2,000 Soviet fighters on the territory of the Soviet Union.

As a result, the commanders of the Soviet Air Force despaired: the Soviet Air Force, which had a clear numerical superiority, had a hard time seeing the results that made people cry without tears.

Of the 2,000 Soviet I-16s, only more than 300 fled back to airfields in the hinterland, and the rest were shot down, and they only shot down less than 100 German fighters.

The almost desperate 17-to-1 battle loss ratio suddenly made the Soviet Union's air superiority a complete joke.

The 1,000 German fighters were followed by 2,000 bombers of various types, including the HE-111 and the JU-87 Stukka, and of course, the famous JU-88.

These bombers soon appeared above the heads of the Soviet troops, dropping tons of bombs on important areas.

Some planes bombed Soviet barracks, creating confusion for the build-up of Soviet troops. The Soviet ground forces began to rout, largely because there were always German planes hovering overhead.

Stuka dive bombers attacked more expensive targets, and these dive-down precision bombers targeted Soviet artillery.

Hordes of Stuka fell from the sky and blew up the front-line artillery that was firing at German territory into piles of scrap metal.

The Soviet soldiers lost the most important fire support, and the units without artillery had to retreat. The chaotic front made all the commanders desperate, and the defeat was like a mountain of defeat, and it is fitting to describe the current Soviet army.

"Get out to the side of the road and wait for our infantry to come and collect you! If you don't get out of the way, I'll give the order to open fire!" Standing on a tank, the German interpreter shouted loudly at the Soviet prisoners.

The dense Soviet soldiers watched in horror as the German tanks drove in front of them, they had never known that the Germans had so many tanks.

In fact, the German tanks are still not as many as the Soviets, but the Germans are used to using their tanks together, so the number seems to be very scary.

At least locally, the German armored forces had an advantage. They have the cover of the air force, and they also have the logistical supplies carried by trucks.

Therefore, the attacking forces, including Guderian's 1st Panzer Army, advanced very quickly in the territory of the Soviet Union.

Tank No. 4 followed the road one by one, followed by armored vehicles and trucks, followed by Tank No. 2 and No. 3 assault gun on the flanks.

Although they tried their best to make their weapon models simpler, the Germans still had a large number of mixed weapons.

For example, the 1st Panzer Corps commanded by Guderian, the most elite of the army, had three tank models: Tank No. 3 and Tank No. 4, and a small number of Tank No. 5.

If you count the separate self-propelled anti-tank gun units of the military department, as well as the artillery units, they also have the Stalker tank destroyers and assault guns No. 3 and No. 4.

The offensive was much more complicated than before, because the Soviets were also attacking. The advance was easier than previously expected, because the Soviet Union, which was also on the offensive, did not have many people in charge of defense.

The two sides collided almost in a state of field warfare, so most of the soldiers who were expected to be consumed in the opponent's defensive positions survived.

The bad news is not without it, because the Soviets are also attacking, so the casualties in some areas of the German army are not small, and the battle is very chaotic.

Germany likes to fight in this chaotic state, because in comparison, German soldiers have a higher combat quality.

So when both sides are in disarray, Germany often play better than their opponents. It was precisely because of this that Marshal Rundstedt, who commanded Army Group Center, did not allow his troops to retreat.

He ordered Guderian to keep the attack in the middle and, like a sharp knife, pierced into the heart of the Soviet Union.

It was with Guderian's fierce offensive that the situation that was now more favorable to the German troops arose. By the afternoon of March 20, most of the German forces had entered Soviet territory.

"My Führer! The lecture broadcast is ready! You ......" Goebbels walked in, whispering in the Führer's ear.

Li Le nodded, stood up and said to his generals: "The war has begun, and it turns out that the Soviets are also preparing to attack, and they are even the same day as we chose. ”

If it was not clear what was happening at the front by now, the German commanders would have committed suicide.

So Li Le knew the key to the chaos on the front line, that is, the two sides coincidentally prepared the same performance in the same area.

And then at the same time, both sides were planning an all-out offensive in the same way – and the result was such chaos that both sides were caught off guard.

The only thing that made Li Le feel relieved was that the German army had recovered from the state of surprise, but the Soviet Union seemed to be still paralyzed.

"Fight for the Motherland! Send those damned Soviets to hell! After Li Le said this firmly, he walked out of the conference room with Goebbels.

"Marshal, is it really like what the Führer said, if we don't attack the Soviets, the Soviets will attack us too?" A colonel officer asked in a whisper.

Brauchitsch, who heard the question, turned his head sideways, looked at his subordinates and replied in a cold voice: "What else can you change by asking these now?" The war has already begun, and only victory can end it! ”

Surrounded by a large group of generals, Li Le stood on the podium that had been prepared long ago. He adjusted his voice and motioned for the person next to him to get started.

Then he spoke into the microphone: "The people of Germany! Just now! The Soviet Union attempted to invade our sacred territory at a time when our borders with Great Britain had just ended. ”

At this point, he paused, then changed to a very sad tone and continued: "They entered our borders, killed our soldiers, and shelled our cities......"

"That's what allies do! Stalin tore up the non-aggression pact between the two countries! He is treacherous! He is a vile and arrogant tyrant! As if to let others see it, Li Le waved his hands and vented his dissatisfaction passionately.

If only this speech of the Führer had been heard, no one would have doubted that the war was provoked by the criminal Soviet Union.

It is a pity that only the marshals of the Third Reich, who will never tell the truth, and the corpses of Polish prisoners of war lying in the wilderness in the border areas, know the truth of this matter.

"Stalin betrayed us! deceived our feelings! We have just bathed in peace! And to go to war again because of the curse of Stalin alone! Li Le complained loudly in annoyance, driving everyone's emotions.

Manstein, who stood there and attended this speech, even believed that it was the perfidy of the Soviets.

The Führer has such magic that makes people choose to believe his words unconditionally. Li Le is also glorious now, like a god.

"So! Let's go tell Stalin about our tanks! Let's go and tell Stalin about our planes! Let's go and tell Stalin about our battleships! Tell him that our empire will win! Our empire is invincible! Clenching his fists, Li Le ended his speech.

"Immediately organize journalists to cover the border areas...... Put the hat of war on the head of Stalin in the Soviet Union......" As he stepped off the podium, Li Le whispered to Goebbels.

Goebbels hurriedly nodded and promised Li Le: "I have sent a telegram back to Berlin, more than 100 journalists, and they will arrive at the border soon." ”

"This time it was God who helped, and the Soviets cooperated seamlessly. They shelled countless of our border villages, and they can't fake that. Li Le smirked, then restrained his smile and regained his grim expression.

"Victory! Monarch! As he passed the general, all the officers raised their arms like an arch.

Li Le also raised his arm and responded: "Victory!" Germany! ”
