The first Soviet air raid ended after thirty minutes, but the losses on both sides were unacceptable to each other, the "BF109" of Army Group South lost a third of its "BF109s" and half of its bombers, while the Soviets suffered heavier losses, losing more than half of their aircraft, and this was only the first air raid of the war.

Vasilevsky hurriedly sent a telegram to Stalin, explaining the situation here, and requesting that planes be sent to reinforcements, and Vincent also asked Li Mo for planes.

……

At the General Headquarters of Army Group South, Li Mo and Bock were arguing fiercely, and this was the first heated argument since Li Mo and Bock cooperated:

"My deputy commander-in-chief, in order for Vincent to continue to hold on, we should send planes to reinforce him, and we will send as many as he needs."

"My commander-in-chief, I will never agree with your approach, since Vincent is the bait we throw, they should fight for the EU until the last moment of their lives, now the Soviet Union is obviously receiving military support from Britain, France and the United States, and even combat planes have come out, my commander-in-chief, you continue to send planes to reinforce Vincent, that is just a refueling tactic, purely with Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union, my respected commander-in-chief, have we Germany fought Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union?"

Li Mo was in a hurry, Vincent was sent out by himself to act as a pawn of the dead chess, in this case, Li Mo really couldn't do it and didn't care where he threw Vincent, Li Mo was still trying to persuade Bock.

"My Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I know that Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union have colluded together, and their Atlantic organization is a good proof of this. I also know that the refueling tactic is wrong, but we can't just leave Vincent alone, let's send JU89 planes to them continuously from tomorrow to send them more anti-aircraft artillery, weapons and ammunition.

"No!!"

Bock, deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff, bluntly rejected Li Mo again:

"Why!!"

Li Mo couldn't imagine that he proposed Vincent's supplies, and his deputy commander-in-chief refused, which made Li Mo suddenly unable to figure it out, and hurriedly asked Bock why, and Bock directly retorted without thinking about it:

"My commander-in-chief, you are commanding millions of troops, and you must not do it because of personal feelings. And put the entire Army Group South in a dangerous situation. Since we do not have the ability to fight for attrition among the four countries of Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union, in this case, we should immediately use Vincent's troops as bait and dead chess, and what we need to do now is to immediately withdraw all the planes of Orsk, and in the future, our JU89 planes will also stop sending any supplies to Orsk. Because the USSR already had very advanced fighters. In this case, our JU89 can only be sent to death when it goes out. My commander-in-chief, JU89, I don't think I need to explain much about what it does for us. At the same time, we must immediately send a warning signal to the high command. ”

Li Mo completely understands what Bock means, what Bock means is that he doesn't care about Vincent's life or death, that is, he completely uses Vincent as a dead chess, and even the Air Force must avoid fighting with the Soviet Union, Bock wants Army Group South to hoard the planes of the Air Force and use them in a decisive battle, Bock's idea and approach are absolutely not wrong, all the planes of Army Group South are produced by Poland and the European Union, only more than 500 planes a year, even if Li Mo gets some from Germany's local production, The total supply is only more than 1,000 points, which cannot be consumed on a large scale by planes no matter what.

In other words, Li Mo's "BF109" supply is only more than 1,000 planes per year, and what does Li Mo use to fight with Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union to consume this plane, he must hoard the "BF109" and give the enemy a blow that will kill him in a decisive battle.

Bock's meaning Li Mo understands everything, Bock and Li Mo have cooperated for so long, Li Mo's character Boke still knows it very well, Li Mo is a good person, and his command of war is also very clever, and Li Mo's only shortcoming is that his heart is too soft, which is a taboo for senior generals. As the saying goes, "Being a person is not black, not a character." ”

"Well, my deputy commander-in-chief, you have convinced me, I agree to withdraw all the air forces of Orsk, Vincent, you kid must hold on!!"

After talking with Bock, Li Mo did not directly order the air force of Army Group South stationed in Orsk to retreat, but took advantage of the evening time to fly directly to Orsk with a "BF109" group of forty planes.

Of course, Li Mo will fly a plane, the last time Hitler fainted, Li Mo personally flew to Berlin, Li Mo This is the second time to fly a plane in person, if it is not a very important thing, Li Mo, the commander-in-chief, will not be able to fly the plane himself.

The range of the "BF109" is short, the longest range is only 1200 kilometers, in order to prevent accidents, Li Mo still ordered all the "BF109" that followed him to add auxiliary fuel tanks, so that their range can be increased to 1500 kilometers, from Rostov to Orsk is 1,100 kilometers, Li Mo led a brigade "BF109" after arriving in Orsk, can continue to stay in the air for more than ten minutes, so that Li Mo is not afraid of being attacked by the Soviets when he is about to land.

Since Li Mo approved Bock's suggestion and used Vincent as bait and dead chess, Li Mo regarded himself as their supreme commander, and it was his responsibility to personally tell Vincent and all the soldiers who were holding out in Orsk the true situation, and he could not deceive his own men.

An hour later, Limer reached Orsk, and when Limer appeared at Vincent's command post, he almost didn't scare Vincent to death:

"Hey! Hitler, commander-in-chief, why are you here. ”

"Hehe, why can't I come, Vincent, you go and prepare, I want to speak to the whole army."

"Okay."

The communications of Army Group South were very developed, and each company had at least two walkie-talkies, which could be used for broadcasting, and Vincent only had to order the companies below to gather the soldiers and turn on the walkie-talkies.

The efficiency of Army Group South was still very fast, and Vincent gave orders to the division-level troops, and the division-level troops were down to the regiment, and finally to the company, and the company-level units were to call the soldiers to listen to the walkie-talkies. At twenty minutes, Vincent came to report to Li Mo and said that everything was ready.

Piper, the commander of the rookie battalion, was also very surprised to receive the order from his superiors, but Piper did not question the order from his superiors, but quickly conveyed the order to several of his companies, and at the same time, Piper also summoned the relevant personnel of the battalion headquarters to gather at the battalion command post to listen to the news that was about to be announced on the walkie-talkie:

"All the officers and men of Army Group South stationed in Orsk,

You have worked hard, I am Li Mo, the former commander-in-chief of the German Army Group South, and I have arrived from Rostov today to announce a very important matter to you.
