Chapter 419: Anglo-American Calculations
It is necessary to support weapons and ammunition to the Soviet Union, and even the United States has become very generous at this time, directly giving Stalin a P40 combat plane of an air division, Stalin does not care whether the American plane is taken to the Soviet battlefield for testing, as long as it is weapons and equipment, Stalin will not refuse. It was more convenient for Britain to send weapons and ammunition to the Soviet Union through the North Sea, and Churchill would also give a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Soviet Union in order to keep Stalin along.
Churchill's actions were, of course, to prepare for war, and now that the German army was breaking through hundreds of kilometers into the Soviet Union and had not completely plunged its forces into the territory of the Soviet Union, would Churchill choose to fight at this time? Of course, he will not choose this time to fight, Churchill is not stupid, when the main forces of the German army are basically under the city of Moscow, starting a bloody battle, and falling into a state of stalemate, that is when Churchill will act.
Churchill estimated that between June and September this year, the Soviet Union would hold out in Moscow for a few months, and once the war entered a harsh winter, the Soviet Union could launch some local counteroffensives, and if the Soviet Union wanted to hold out until winter, not only the United States would have to vigorously support the Soviet Union, but President Roosevelt had agreed to vigorously aid the Soviet Union, and similarly, Britain and France must also vigorously assist the Soviet Union with some arms and weapons, so that the Soviet Union could hold on.
Several major countries of the Atlantic Allies, Britain, France, and the United States, all extended a helping hand to the Soviet Union, and a steady stream of arms was transported by sea to the various seaports of the Soviet army, and at this time, the Soviet Union's more than 10 million regular troops were short of advanced weapons, including American medium tanks and "Bazooka rocket launchers."
The Bazooka family of bazookas is one of the best anti-tank weapons in the possession of the US Army. As the originator of medium-caliber bazookas. Its prominence dwarfs other anti-tank weapons of the same period. It has even been asserted that the invention of "Bazooka" was the greatest contribution of the United States to the development of anti-tank weapons during World War II. It regained the confidence of the U.S. infantry in the face of German tank attacks and shook the famous assertion that tanks were the most effective anti-tank weapon.
Now the "Bazooka" urgently transported to the Soviet Union is an early model M1 developed by the United States, with a caliber of only 60 mm, don't look at the "Bazooka" is only 60 mm caliber, but his vertical armor-piercing ability is 127 mm, this penetrating ability of course cannot penetrate the front of the Leopard tank, but there is absolutely no problem with the chrysanthemum and side of the Leopard tank.
But other German tanks were no match for the "Bazooka", such as tanks No. 3 and No. 4. Even the front can't withstand the "Bazooka". The front armor of the No. 4 tank is only 80 mm, and the American "Bazooka" said that there is no pressure, as for the American Sherman tank and the German No. 4 tank, they are tanks of the same class, and they are both considered a very advantageous tank.
This time, Stalin's high-ranking officials gained a lot. The United States alone even lend-lease and donated 2,000 Sherman tanks and 5,000 "Bazooka" anti-tank rocket launchers to the Soviet Union at one time. The P40 fought more than 500 aircraft. More than five hundred other piston aircraft. There are countless light weapons, and Britain and France also donated a large number of arms to the Soviet Union, what Matilda, and so on. All were shipped to the USSR in large quantities and quickly.
Britain, France, and the United States are the three major countries that are very worried that Stalin will not be able to support and surrender to Germany, in fact, this is the three countries of Britain, France, and the United States are too careful, how can a dictator like Stalin surrender, absolutely impossible, of course, these imperialist countries also have their own plans, that is, to arm the Soviet Union, let the Soviet Union and Germany fight to the death on the soil of the Soviet Union, the longer the fight is better, the more brutal the fight is more beneficial to Britain, France and the United States.
……
Vasilevsky, of course, is waiting for the arrival of these weapons, the most important of which are the aircraft and the two weapons of "Bazooka", because Vasilevsky deeply feels that it is not realistic to completely wipe out the SS in Orsk quickly with infantry and garbage tanks, anyway, several anti-tank trenches have been dug and the entire Orsk has been heavily surrounded, and these SS troops have no way to come out and destroy the Ural industrial area, as for the SS air force here, Vasilevsky has no way to stop them from moving, Because the Soviet planes in Vasilevsky's hands were no match for others at all, Vasilevsky simply hid his planes and waited for the combat planes to be provided by the United States to arrive, and then strangled the German air force here.
Vasilevsky is waiting, Vincent is constantly strengthening his defensive positions, of course, the Soviet army is also building various fortifications, neither side is attacking each other, only the SS air force occasionally sends planes out to bomb the Soviet defense line, now Vincent's various materials are strategic, that is not wasted at all, as long as the Soviets do not attack themselves, Vincent will not take the initiative to attack, and now the bombing of the Soviet Union's railway junction on the Eurasian demarcation line and the Ural industrial area is Vincent's focus.
Vincent's side was also relatively calm, and the Baku area was in full swing at this time, and after Limer completely wiped out Zhukov's more than 200,000 Red Army troops in the Far East, he immediately handed over these prisoners to two SS lieutenant generals, Blyukhel and Egorov, who were also more powerful, and actually recruited 180,000 people from these prisoners, which was the number of five full armies.
Limer immediately sent a telegram to Hitler to form the First Army of the Russian Liberation Army, and at the same time promoted Blyukhel and Egorov to generals, Yegorov to commander of the army, and Blyukhel to chief of staff and deputy commander.
Originally, Hitler asked Li Mo not to disturb him about everything about Army Group South, and let Li Mo decide for himself, just make a report afterwards, if Li Mo really did this, it is estimated that it will not be far from the end of class......
For dictators, don't just see the superficial phenomenon, Li Mo, a Chinese, deeply understands that it is better not to seize power when doing things under dictators, to give a simple example, there was once a county magistrate who retired and handed over his power, which was originally the time to spend his old age, but this retired county magistrate, after retirement, suddenly felt that life lost its meaning, what to do was listless, and people were also haggard for a day, this time it was a bad thing for his wife, there was really no way to go down to his wife, I found someone to engrave a wordless official seal with only one five-star, and after the wordless official seal was engraved, my wife handed over the official seal to the retired county magistrate, and then my wife would write a short application every day before going to buy vegetables or buying something, and then take it to his wife to stamp.
