622 Investigation Team

A barrel car came to a halt on a rough road, on which jumped two German officers and two men in suits.

It doesn't seem like a combination fighting on the front lines, but they do appear very close to the front lines.

The man who jumped out of the car walked over to the wreckage, which was no longer smoking, and saw the Soviet plane, which had been shattered.

"This thing is equipped with a very heavy steel plate, which can effectively stop the strafing of 7.92 mm caliber machine guns." One of the officers who came first next to the wreckage of the plane turned sideways and said to the people who came after.

There were German soldiers standing around, and there was at least a platoon of men standing guard with rifles on their backs.

A man in a suit nodded and began to crouch next to the wreckage, examining some of the tiny parts that had been gathered together.

Looking at the small pieces that had been cleared out and neatly arranged, the man seemed to settle down and stopped talking.

The two officers who accompanied him were talkative, asking about the various characteristics of the plane, including the details of the air battles seen by eyewitnesses.

"The pilots will be there soon, they belong to the nearby I/JG132 Wing, the long plane has a record of 14 planes shot down, and they are ace ......pilots," an officer in charge of the transfer at the scene whispered to another German officer who asked about him.

These later officers belonged to a unique department that was dedicated to collecting and summarizing the performance of enemy weapons.

Although the Führer's secret forces have reliable intelligence information, after all, it needs to confirm the accuracy of the intelligence in order to make it more valuable.

Previously, this department had already investigated the KV-1 and KV-2 tanks, which proved that the Führer's decision to develop a new tank before the war was quite correct.

Soviet forces were developing and equipping them with new weapons, including the KV-1 and KV-2, and even the T-34 tank, which had recently appeared.

Once such weapons and equipment appeared on the battlefield, German weapons and equipment had to be improved or even upgraded.

Therefore, the authority of this department is still very large, and it determines when German weapons and equipment will become obsolete and when they need to be replaced.

"It seems that priority is given to equipping cannons. And the development of weapons like the MG-151, again, was a wise decision. Another man in a suit, who had arrived at the scene, said to the highest-ranking officer standing beside him.

The colonel's officer nodded and agreed with him: "The Führer's intelligence is surprisingly accurate, making up for a lot of details that we don't know. ”

In the eyes of the Germans, the Soviet Union was simply a huge unexplored treasure trove, and every now and then an unexpected surprise popped up.

It turned out that the German side had always been proud of its industrial excellence and looked down on the relatively backward Soviet industrial system.

But now, the facts have proved that Germany was arrogant before, and the Soviet Union, which they looked down on, produced weapons and equipment with good performance with equipment that the Germans disdained!

On the frontal battlefield, Soviet tanks such as the T-26 had more ferocious firepower than the No. 2 tank - if it weren't for the lack of radios, the German armored forces would have suffered in the face of the T-26.

The KV-1 and KV-2 tanks were even more like a nightmare, surpassing the original German main tanks No. 3 and No. 4 in terms of firepower and armor protection.

If it had not been for the Führer's strict order to replace the No. 4 tank with a 75-mm long-barreled gun, and the No. 3 tank with a 50-mm long-barreled gun, the situation of the German armored forces might have been very embarrassing.

It turned out that the Führer's admired Stalker tank destroyers, improved tanks No. 3 and No. 4, and newly equipped Leopard tanks were the weapons and equipment that could cope with today's war.

Without the Führer's intelligence services, Germany might still be using tanks such as tank No. 2 and tank No. 3 and No. 4 to deal with the torrent of ironclad of the Soviets.

Just like in France, the days when the tank units were beaten to the head and relied on 88 mm anti-aircraft guns for anti-aircraft defense to fight tanks is really sad to think about it.

"Where did the Russians get so many advanced weapons and equipment......?" The analyst stood up from the pile of odd fragments, slapped his suit, turned around and said to his colleagues in the back, "Don't wait for the pilot to come, this thing does exist." ”

"You mean, the IL-2 attack aircraft exists?" The colonel, who was at the head of the group, asked the analyst with his hands behind his back and his gloves.

"Yes, sir! Yes! …… The IL-2 attack aircraft is right in front of you, and it's really sturdy, made of the finest Russian wood and a lot of steel plates. The analyst pointed to the deformed steel plate with bullet holes and explained.

As he spoke, he returned to the part, picked up a piece of shard with his hand, and said, "The engine is completely damaged, but you can still see a rough ...... The horsepower is not low. ”

In any case, the Soviets did hide their true war prowess, from the T-26, which the Germans had known for a long time, all the way to the T-34 tank, which the Soviets did not have many equipped units, all the way to the IL-2 attack aircraft seen today.

Perhaps, what the Führer said about the fact that the USSR was developing a completely new tank with artillery of more than 100 mm caliber was true.

Several officers and analysts present couldn't help but feel depressed. If everything the Führer said was true, then the war would really be a quick one.

Once the Soviets were allowed to procrastinate, more new weapons poured into the battlefield, and Germany's advantage ceased to exist.

At that time, both sides will have to rely on blood for blood, and Germany cannot afford large-scale losses.

You must know that the whole of Germany has only a population of 80 million, and the troops that can be mobilized are only about 6 million at most.

If the number of people is large, it will affect the quality of the troops, and in fact it will be a practice that outweighs the losses.

Therefore, it was ideal to end the war as much as possible before the German troops lost a million men.

"Feed these questions back to the Supreme High Command and the General Command...... What we can do is to report what we see with our own eyes. The Colonel, still with his hands behind his back, spoke.

And near the improvised small station on the outskirts of Minsk, German anti-aircraft artillery units set up positions.

The original undefended small station has now been covered with camouflage nets. The things that have been so hard to transport to the front line really can't help but be careless.

After learning that the Russians had the ability to break through and sabotage, Germany also began to pay attention to the safety of their own supplies.
