Chapter 423: Abandoned Son
The first Soviet air raid ended in 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 its bombers lost a half, 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, and I also know that the refueling tactics are wrong, but we can't just leave Vincent alone, let's send more anti-aircraft artillery and weapons and ammunition to them continuously from tomorrow.
"No!!"
Bock, deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff, bluntly rejected Li Mo again:
"Why!!"
Li Mo didn't think that he would propose Vincent's supplies. His deputy commander-in-chief refused, which made Li Mo suddenly unable to figure it out, and hurriedly asked Bock why. Without even thinking about it, Bock directly retorted:
"My commander-in-chief, you command millions of troops. 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, what we have 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 ORSSK, because the Soviet Union already has very advanced fighters, and in this case our JU89 can only be sent to death. My commander-in-chief, ju89, I don't think I need to explain much about what it means for us, and at the same time we need to immediately send a warning signal to the high command. ”
Li Mo completely understood what Bock meant, and Bock meant that he didn't care about Vincent's life or death at all, that is, he completely used Vincent as a dead chess, and even the Air Force had to avoid fighting with the Soviet Union. All the sources of aircraft for Army Group South are the production of Poland and the European Union, which is only more than 500 a year, even if Li Mo gets some from the production of Germany itself. The total supply is only more than 1,000 points, which cannot be consumed on a large scale by planes no matter what.
That is to say, 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 aircraft, he must hoard the "BF109" and give the enemy a killing blow in a decisive battle.
Boke'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, and Li Mo is a good person. The method of commanding the war is also very clever, and Li Mo's only shortcoming is that he is too soft-hearted. This is a taboo for senior generals. As the saying goes, "The heart is not dark." 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.
