Chapter 379: Under the Defensive Line of Paper Ties (Part II)
In the end, the commander of the guard company conscientiously carried out the order of Buvelevsky-Young, and fought to the death, and the Soviet troops of the entire guard company were finally bombarded by Frieze's tank shelling and collapsed the municipal building and buried alive in the rubble......
Let the photographer take a few pictures of himself, showing that he was the first to occupy the municipal building of Niov. Frieze occupied Neoff, but Flitz made some losses to his troops because of his greed for merit, and I don't know how Li Mo will deal with Flitz's various behaviors, waiting for Flitz to praise or punish, everything is still unknown.
Frieze's greed for merit was quickly reported to Li Mo, and it is indeed necessary to examine Flitze's handling of Li Mo, and it is absolutely undesirable not to deal with this kind of behavior of ignoring casualties and friendly forces advancing by leaps and bounds for the sake of merit, and Flitz must be treated as a typical example, otherwise if this situation occurs in the future, it is likely to put the troops in a desperate situation.
If the handling of Flitz is too heavy, Li Mo is afraid of damaging the enthusiasm of the front-line commanders, and this kind of greedy behavior must be dealt with, and the Soviet Union did not react in the early stage, but once the Soviet Union eases up in the later stage, it will definitely be a very difficult war, and this kind of behavior of Flitz will put the troops in a catastrophic predicament.
After Li Mo's careful consideration, Flitz was demoted to the rank of colonel, and he was directly promoted from colonel to sergeant, which is equivalent to the military rank of a squad leader, and the position is acting regimental commander. That is to say, Frieze carries the rank of sergeant on his shoulders, and his actual military rank is acting regimental commander, and he still commands his "Scythe of Death" armored regiment.
This kind of treatment can be said to be heavy, and it is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Germans who regard honor as anything, but Li Mo still gave Frieze a chance to make meritorious service and let him continue to command the "Death Scythe" armored regiment.
Frieze thought that he had received an order for commendation. There is known about the order to demotion received. This devastated the arrogant Frieze cried as he cried and began to think deeply about what he had done wrong, or wrong. Fortunately, Frieze is not a fool either. Able to reflect deeply on themselves.
Li Mo conquered the capital city of the Soviet border province in one day. He ordered the troops to rest well for the night, and at the same time to do a good job in the maintenance of all kinds of vehicles, and tomorrow the troops would march to Volrog, which is 300 kilometers away. And Limer has already completed the encirclement of Odessa. The Soviet Black Sea Fleet, anchored in the Odessa military port, was bombed indiscriminately by German JU87 dive bombers.
……
Li Mo commanded 550,000 Wehrmacht field troops in the southern section, broke through the three lines of defense of the Soviet army in half a day, and also captured many Soviet prisoners, because Odessa is more than 190 kilometers away from the German-Soviet border, Li Mo can only rush to Odessa in one day, and surround it, it is impossible to launch an attack overnight, and Li Mo is not the kind of reckless person.
When to attack, when to rest, Li Mo has accurate calculations, and it definitely does not exceed the physical limit of the soldiers. This is the best front-line commander, and all kinds of factors will be taken into account. As soon as Li Mo saw that the Soviet Union had lined up its troops, defended everywhere, and lacked strategic depth, he began to order his own armies to attack freely.
After bombing the Odessa airport, Captain Carpenter was ordered to carry out a full-scale attack on the Soviet Black Sea Fleet in the Odessa military port, and the Carpenter squadron had a total of 12 JU8 dive bombers, and together they went to bomb more than 120 planes of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, including 80 JU87 dive bombers.
The other forty are horizontal bombers, most of these forty horizontal bombers are soy sauce, it is difficult to bomb moving warships, if low-altitude bombing, the anti-aircraft weapons on Soviet warships are not vegetarian, so these horizontal bombers can only choose medium and high altitude bombing, so their effectiveness is much worse. If it weren't for the Soviet Black Sea Fleet in the harbor, these horizontal bombers would be a pure waste of ammunition, although the area in the port of Odessa is large enough, after all, it is not as wide as the sea, and there are still certain restrictions on the places to avoid, maybe there are a few bombs on these horizontal bombers that can hit the target.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
More than 100 bombers flew towards the port of Odessa, this is the largest number that Li Mo can draw, and the other planes have their own tasks, according to Li Mo's idea, it is to send about 500 bombers to directly wipe out the number of Black Sea Fleet, in order to eliminate the trouble of this maritime threat in the future, but the Southern Army Group does not dare to deploy it casually because of that number of aircraft.
The first wave began to rush into the air, the use of the air force was already the limit, Li Mo still gritted his teeth and dispatched 120 planes to carry out bombing missions, Li Mo did not dare to say that he could give a devastating blow to the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, at least he could inflict heavy losses on the Black Sea Fleet, and at the same time expel the Black Sea Fleet from the port of Odessa, so that when Li Mo's ground forces attacked Odessa, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet could not use naval guns to support the ground defenders.
You must know that the caliber of naval guns is relatively large, and if a 203-mm naval gun falls on the Leopard tank about ten meters, the Leopard tank will become scrap metal, and there is no possibility of repair. This is the main purpose of why Li Mo gritted his teeth and dispatched planes to bomb the Black Sea Fleet.
The main surface ships of the Black Sea Fleet are 1 battleship Paris Commune, 3 heavy cruisers Red Caucasus, Voroshilov and Molotov, and 2 light cruisers Red Crimean and Red Ukraine. 3 destroyer lead ships, 11 new destroyers, 4 old destroyers, 44 submarines, 2 gunboats/escort ships, 18 minesweepers and 84 torpedo boats.
The Soviet Black Sea Fleet protected the Soviet Union's foreign trade, and the port of Odessa accounted for 50% of the Soviet Union's foreign trade, which shows the importance of Odessa and the Black Sea Fleet to the Soviet Union.
"Captain Carpenter, your squadron is attacking the heavy cruiser on the lower left, it seems to be the Red Ukraine."
