"Hmph, you actually said I was a traitor! They actually said that I had betrayed the world revolution and betrayed Lenin's line...... It's a traitor! These Germans thought that the Soviet people would believe their nonsense? Stalin's laughter rang out in the Kremlin, and it didn't sound like an angry voice, but rather something really ridiculous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was already early in the morning of June 2, more than 24 hours after the outbreak of the world revolution. If you look at it from Stalin's point of view, the situation is still satisfactory.

Of course, the "Great Thunderstorm Project" was not 100% successful, but in the face of an opponent like Germany, 60% success is considered a success!

On the most critical Polish-Western Ukrainian battlefield, the Western Front of the Soviet Red Army has made a breakthrough with a width of 400 km! 10 of the 20 army groups have crossed or are in the process of crossing the river. The troops that crossed the Bug River also all advanced 20-60 kilometers along the prescribed route. Three of the main directions of breakthrough were the northern offensive to Bialystok (the goal was to threaten East Prussia); attack on Warsaw in the middle (the goal is to encircle and capture Warsaw); The southern offensive was to Lublin (the goal was to encircle Lviv in conjunction with the South-Western Front) - all of which had successfully advanced about 50 kilometers.

In addition, in the process of advancing ground forces, the Red Army also routed tens of thousands of German troops and Polish puppet troops, and surrounded the "German-Polish army" of 12 divisions (in fact, brigades). And a man named Yakov. Dzhugashvili's army artillery chief also creatively invented a new tactic of rocket artillery + tank assault, and used this tactic to defeat several German troops on the way to Warsaw!

So at present, in the three main breakthrough directions, the breakthrough of the Central Route Army is the smoothest, and it has advanced more than 60 kilometers to the west! In 2 days at most, you will be able to conquer the city of Warsaw!

To this end, the political commissar of the 9th Mechanized Army, the political commissar of the 3rd Army, and the military commissar of the Western Front have jointly submitted a request to Comrade Dzhugashvili to be awarded the Gold Medal of the World Revolution and promoted to military rank...... However, Comrade Stalin believed that Comrade Zhugashvili still needed to be further tested, so the medal would not be issued, and he would be promoted to a lieutenant first.

In short, the offensive on the ground was very smooth. It is quite possible that Warsaw will be liberated in half a month, and Lviv will be surrounded by that time. As for Baltic, Lithuania and East Prussia, which were likely to be heavy concentrations of German troops, they would be cut off after the Battle of Warsaw according to the "Great Thunderstorm Plan".

If the main force of the German army wants to take advantage of the Red Army's attack on Warsaw to flank the Western Front, then the Western Front will dispatch a strong reserve prepared in advance to fight a strategic decisive battle with the German army with absolute superiority!

And the battle in the air was a mixed bag, with air strikes on the Kirkuk and Khuzestan oil fields achieving great success!

Although the price paid was also very high, at least 300 aircraft involved in the air raids did not return, a loss rate of nearly one-third. But it was mainly the American B-17 bombers that were shot down, and the Soviet Per-8 and MiG-5 suffered small losses and apparently withstood the test.

However, the Red Air Force suffered heavy losses in the skies of Poland, Baltic and Western Ukraine, and on June 1 alone, the air forces under the jurisdiction of the three western armies lost thousands of aircraft! Although it also blew up thousands of planes at the German airfield in Poland and shot down 200-300 German planes, the Red Air Force was still at a disadvantage in terms of the exchange ratio of crew members.

Therefore, in the early morning of June 2, Stalin had already given instructions to the air commanders of the three fronts in the west to strike cautiously and avoid excessive losses.

And what dissatisfied Stalin the most was the harassing air raids of German high-altitude high-speed bombers!

Last night, large Soviet cities including Moscow, Leningrad, Kharkiv, and Minsk were reported to have been hit by air raids, and the Germans dropped a lot of "paper bullets" accusing Stalin of betraying the revolution in addition to throwing bombs...... I don't know who came up with it? After the victory of the world revolution, we must thoroughly investigate! If you catch the culprit, you must send it to Siberia to be reformed through labor for a lifetime!

"Uh......h Woo......"

Just when Stalin was thinking about arresting someone and sending him to a labor camp, the sound of air defense sirens suddenly sounded!

The German bombers actually came to Moscow in broad daylight to drop bombs and leaflets.

……

"Bialystok and Lublin are to be abandoned according to the plan, the Soviet Red Army will occupy Bialystok today, and Lublin will be occupied by the Soviets tomorrow. The day after tomorrow at the latest, the Soviet army will be under the city of Warsaw! ”

"The day after tomorrow? June 5th? Didn't you say that it could be delayed until the 7th or 8th? ”

"No, the Russians use rocket artillery to fight with tanks, and the cavalry can't stop it at all." Marshal Kesselring, who had not slept all night, shook his head, "Those Russians are smarter than we thought, and we didn't think of this solution...... Rocket artillery can be used like this. ”

The rocket artillery is really still good for Maozi! Hersmann said that the Germans had too many self-propelled guns and assault guns, so in history, they did not want to turn rocket artillery into mobile ones at the beginning, but made them towed. As a result, it was always too slow, easy to be counterattacked by artillery, and there was no way to put into battle as fast as Maozi's vehicle-mounted rocket launchers.

However, in the days when Hersmann was chief of the General Staff, this problem was solved, and now German rocket artillery (also called smoke launchers) are self-propelled. However, instead of being mounted on a tracked vehicle, it is mounted on a low-cost truck called the SWR40 self-propelled rocket launcher (or self-propelled smoke launcher).

And it's not 6 tubes 150mm, but 12 tubes 130mm, although the power is still not as good as the Soviet Katyusha's 16 132mm (the Soviets are mounted on I-shaped rails), but it can also cope with fierce battles. Therefore, Hersman did not necessarily ask the engineers below to "copy" the design of the Soviets - in fact, he could not copy it, Hirschmann only knew the concept of "steel rail", and he did not have specific design drawings.

"Isn't it MLRS," Hersman smiled, "we have it too, Warsaw and Lviv both have 3 regiments, Army Group Center has 4 regiments under its direct jurisdiction, and Army Group North and Army Group South also have 10 regiments each. There were 30 regiments and 1620 rocket artillery pieces on the entire Eastern Front, which would not be less than the Soviets. ”

"But we can't use rocket artillery as self-propelled guns right now." Kesselring shook his head and said, "Because we have so much less artillery than the Soviets, we can only rely on the concentrated use of rocket artillery for fire counterattacks." ”

While the two were talking, the office door was pushed open by one of Kesselring's lieutenants, who handed Kesselring a war briefing, and Kesselring frowned slightly after a glance.

"The Soviets began to attack the Trespol Ring Fortress, and they also used large-caliber 203mm howitzers!"

……

"Boom!"

The earth really shakes!

Even hiding in the underground bunkers of the Ring Fortress of Trespol, Carol. Major General Rommel all had the feeling that he would be blown to pieces by Soviet artillery in the next second.

Although he is also an old enemy of the Soviet people, he fought with the Soviet army twice in 1920 and 1939. But it was the first time that more than 100 B4 howitzers were shelled at close range!

The Soviets' method of attacking the fortified positions was indeed extremely ferocious, which was completely beyond his expectations. They actually fired a 203mm caliber cannon and mounted a tracked tractor, which turned this cannon into a "semi-self-propelled gun", which had a certain degree of mobility, so it could move closer to the front of the Trespol Ring Fortress for accurate fire.

What was even more frustrating was that the Soviets actually mobilized 30 B-4 artillery batteries at once to besiege the Trespol Ring Fortress.

In addition, more than 200 artillery regiments of various calibers owned by five artillery regiments (2 corps and 3 divisions) belonging to the 4th Soviet Infantry Corps now smashed shells on the positions of the officers and men of the Trespol Fortress Brigade as if they did not want money, which had the intention of blowing up the Trespol Fortress.

The Poles guarding this ring fortress are now real cannon fodder!

"For the liberation of all mankind!"

"Ulla!"

"For the world revolution!"

"Ulla!"

"For the victory of the cause of GCISM!"

"Ulla!"

"For the leader Stalin!"

"Ulla!"

"Comrades! Follow me! ”

"Ulla! Ulla! Ulla! ”

Second Lieutenant Solzhenitsyn, who was leading a platoon of soldiers to pull shells on B-4 howitzers on the front line in a wagon, heard the cheers of the crowd and turned his head to see at least 2,000 Red Army soldiers cheering on a large wheat field that had long been flattened on the side of the road. A young soldier who may have been the political commissar of the regiment had just finished political mobilization, and at this time he waved his big hand vigorously, and then pointed to a dozen T-34 tanks that had already been set up in formation not far ahead.

Bombardment with an outnumbered artillery shell, and then tanks to guide the infantry charge, this is the standard tactic of the Soviet Red Army!

The kind of fighting in which political workers use machine guns to force infantry to death is usually used when there is no way to do so. It was not the morale-high Red Army that was needed now for the machine gun watchmen, but the Poles trembling in the anti-artillery bunkers - if it had not been for the desperate desperate few noble officers and non-commissioned officers of the Polish Solidarity Party, the Trespol fortress would have fallen at 10 o'clock this morning in the first wave of Soviet charge.

But how long can the Poles hold on like this? Solzhenitsyn shook his head a little puzzled, why did these Poles desperately resist liberation? Don't they want to live happily like a Soviet? (To be continued.) )
