Chapter 224: The Battle of Blood and Fire C--A Diagonal Knife!

At the temporary headquarters of several armored command vehicles at the ferry, Guderian could not believe the report he had heard - the most elite "Reich" division of Army Group Center had lost more than two-thirds of its tanks in an hour and had actually been defeated! And just 5 kilometers away, one of its own armored divisions is not attacking, but engaging in a melee with the frantically attacking Russians!

The sound of artillery fire several kilometers away could be heard clearly in the crossing area, and Guderian lost his composure and urged his troops to speed up the crossing of the river - he knew that the Red Army armored unit he had collided with must be the best armored unit in the Soviet Union, which was a far cry from the expected "overwhelming momentum". It can be seen from the pen "Fun" www.biquge.info that the Russians are already desperate, and if the support troops are not put into the battlefield in time, the distance of these few kilometers is just a short charge distance for the armored forces!

With the Bug River behind him, if the Soviet tanks reach the ferry area, then their own ignominious temporary retreat to the west bank of the Bug River is the only option, and then the southern raid of the entire Army Group Center is tantamount to a de facto defeat! It will even affect the implementation of the entire "Barbarossa" plan!

"Call from the 2nd SS Panzer Division." The staff officer paused, which made Goodry, who was standing on the roof of the armored command car and observing with a telescope, "chuckle" in peace of mind!

"Lieutenant General Paul Hausser is killed! The armored division, temporarily under the command of the Chief of Staff, is trying to organize a defensive line 5 kilometers to the north, requesting reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Guderian was silent for two seconds - the invincible SS lieutenant general was killed just a few hours after the start of the battle?!

Without allowing him to think too much, there was an overwhelming scream in the air - "Hidden! Shelling by the Russians! ”

A salvo of more than 100 shells of 76.2 mm caliber accurately hit the ferry area, Guderian had to get into the bottom of the command car after jumping from the car, the "blitzkrieg" expert was disgracefully lying on the ground, seeing explosions everywhere on both sides of the entire ferry area, the Russian artillery positions had been constructed, and Guderian knew that this raid was over!

"Our artillery could not locate the position of the Russian artillery positions and could not suppress them! The battle at the front has entered a melee, and the artillery cannot support it! "The staff officer who doesn't want to die, this will still be in the command vehicle to contact the rear.

"Let the artillery carry out the blocking shelling, as long as it is not on their own heads, anywhere to the east!"

Guderian really wanted to kill the artillery commander who cooperated, he was holding his head like an ostrich and receiving shells, but they could not find the target!

"Goering, where is your air force?!"

Artillery will need the eye of the air the most, in Poland and France, the air force will always be the fastest to inform the opponent of the situation, but this time there is nothing - where is the dead fat Goering ?! Guderian was furious, such a blind beating was not the "standard situation" of a "blitzkrieg"!

You can't blame Goering, even if the fat man loses weight in an instant, it is impossible to give Guderian more support - the JG52 fighter wing in charge of this airspace will be busy staging round after round of aerial battles with Sergei's 109th Fighter Regiment!

If it weren't for Sergey and the 109th regiment, JG52 would definitely play its own in this central theater of operations and dominate most of the Belarusian skies, but they met Sergei Ivanovich Grytsevets and his "wolf of the air"!

After the bombing mixed formation suffered heavy losses early in the morning, the Second Air Force clearly realized that it was necessary to completely destroy the "air circus" in order to occupy air supremacy in this area, and the order given to the JG52 Wing was to completely strangle the wolf-like force at all costs!

The Russians seem to be able to clearly understand their movements like the British, and if they continue to send bomber formations in a straight line, they will only increase their losses, and they will not be able to break through the interception of the "air circus" at all! Such losses are unbearable for the 2nd Air Force! In an hour in the morning, they themselves already lost 128 bombers and fighters, and the other side lost up to 30! According to the pilot's report, Marshal Kesselring's staff immediately understood who the difficult opponent in front of them was - in the USSR there was only one fighter in such a livery - the ace of the Spanish and Chinese battlefields, Marshal of the Soviet Air Force Andrei Nikolayevich Prenyakov!

As the actual number two person in the Kremlin, the Air Marshal could not have appeared here! Coupled with the details described by the pilot in the air battle, he could not have so many achievements, and the commander could only be Sergei, the number one air killer under the Air Marshal!

During the Spanish Civil War, the Luftwaffe learned about Sergei's existence from the newspapers - as long as it could eliminate this Soviet Union's first air ace in the air, it would greatly damage the morale of the Russians!

Kessellin didn't want his own bomber boys to die needlessly, and he couldn't afford that kind of exertion - but, was that how Sergei dealt with it?

Of course not! How could the Germans not have thought that the "air circus" was just an aviation regiment, an aviation regiment that surpassed the strength of the aviation divisions! Coupled with the nearby troops that can cooperate with the 109 regiment, at a frontage of 200 kilometers, the number of fighters that Sergei can control has exceeded the Germans by 80 percent! Goering thought that the Russian pilots were just a group of brave but rough reckless men, and his pilots used to think so, but now the situation is different: on the entire border line, the opponents of the Luftwaffe are basically on a par with themselves, whether it is the quality of fighters, air combat tactics, or the quality of pilots!

Lin Jun, the marshal of the Air Force, is not in vain, the Soviet Air Force has kept up with the trend of the world, not only has the world's first-class aircraft, but the quality of the entire Air Force has changed greatly! Within a few hours of the start of the war, the contest between the Soviet Union and Germany in the air force was not one-sided, but a standard war of attrition, depending on whose strength was strong, whose aviation industry and pilot reserves were sufficient, and whose potential could withstand such brutal and rapid attrition!

By the time Guderian hid under armored vehicles, the Second Air Force had lost more than 200 combat aircraft, and Kessellin's pessimistic estimate was that if it went on in this form, it would take less than a week to finish fighting for its own strength! The Russians didn't seem to care about attrition at all, the pilots reported that they even encountered ramming tactics, and the Russian planes seemed to fight more and more in two consecutive rounds of engagement!

Catherine had to plan to ask the Reich Ministry of Aviation for reinforcements, but now that the war had only been going on for a few hours, it would be a call for help from Goering, who could not guarantee that Hitler and Goering would not shove themselves into hell! I'll have to wait a few days.

The Second Air Force will have to wait, Kobets in Minsk and Lin Jun in Moscow will not wait! Twenty minutes after the start of the battle, after clarifying to Zhukov the strategy of the Front, Kobets issued an order to attack all second-line airfields of the Front Air Force and transferred to the front line 70 percent of the fighter units with a combat radius outside the combat zone!

When Lin Jun of Moscow arrived at the Air Force Operational Command of the Supreme Command, he issued an order to the air force reserve and the air force units in the rear to support several fronts in the west. Soon, or at the latest, by tomorrow, Kesselring would regret why he hadn't called on Berlin for reinforcements sooner.

At six o'clock in the morning, at the very moment when Stalin was addressing the nation at Lenin's tomb, Ferdo Petrovich Porenin's troops appeared on the heads of the Germans in East Prussia under the cover of fighter jets - Lin Jun did what he said!

Lin Jun has an even bolder plan -- just tonight, a long-range heavy bomber unit and long-range fighter planes will attack the German mainland, and Berlin will taste the taste of being bombed! Of course, Lin Jun knew that even if Berlin was blown into ruins, it would not mean much to the war, he would not only bomb Hitler in London, most of the bombs would be dropped on a few heavy industrial factories in Germany! And there will be eight batches of such raid formations tonight!

What is Zhukov doing? The Admiral knew that this was the most critical day, and that if the Germans could be driven across the two boundary rivers on the border in one fell swoop, the Western Front would be able to consolidate its front; If the goal is not achieved, the situation will be complicated when the Germans have gained a firm foothold! The headquarters of the Front Army was busy, and all kinds of orders were constantly issued -- if the Front Army wanted to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the Germans at any cost, it would depend on whose teeth were hard enough and whose will was tenacious enough!

At the crossing of the Bug River, Guderian was under almost incessant shelling, and the troops on both sides of the Bug River temporarily lost their combat effectiveness - who could still expect to be able to fight under the overwhelming shelling! Even worse, eight minutes after being shelled from the east, the veterans heard an even sharper shell - it was from the south!

This is no longer a shell that can be carried by one person, the violent explosion and the huge lethality made the Germans understand what a "Soviet heavy artillery" is!

Guderian and all the Germans overlooked one thing - the Brest Fortress! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
