As the commander-in-chief of the whole army, Guderian could not pass the responsibility on his subordinates as soon as something happened, that was not the bearing that a commander-in-chief should have, and few people in such a command were willing to die.

Guderian would not put the blame on Catherine, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, that was a cowardly act without responsibility, not to mention that Guderian and Catherine were still very good friends.

"Tell Marshal Catherine that this mistake is my responsibility, and I will explain where Führer Rommel is."

"It's the Commander-in-Chief."

Führer Rommel was at Guderian's headquarters at this time, and without waiting for Guderian to speak, he got up from his chair and said:

"General Guderian, you fought very well, your artillery was attacked by the Soviet Air Force, that is not your responsibility, because the Soviet army knows the defects of the radar, and fight your battle with peace of mind! I'm going to be in Berlin, where there's more to take care of. ”

"Hey! Rommel. ”

There is no habit of staying on the battlefield, especially Rommel, the Führer, Rommel stayed in Guderian's headquarters for a second longer, and Guderian felt that his responsibility was heavier, because after all, this place was close to the front line, and no one dared to guarantee that this command post was absolutely safe.

Rommel said to go, and there were four FA223 helicopters on standby outside the command post. In fact, Rommel's greatest dream was to gallop across the battlefield with thousands of troops, rather than return to Berlin to deal with the cumbersome official documents.

But Rommel, as the head of state, is destined to be impossible for him to be on the front line at any time, and the good operation of the whole country is the most important thing he should do, and fighting a war has become a matter for generals.

……

Amini is now the commander-in-chief of the Air Force Group South, with two air corps in his hands and a total of more than 1,700 aircraft.

This time, the air force cooperated with the army to bomb Petrovsk City, because of his Armini's arrogance, there were only 40 escort fighters of more than 300 bombers, but Timoshenko, who was at the end of his rope, actually organized more than 500 planes to sneak attack his own artillery positions.

Had it not been for a joint telegram from Führer Rommel and Catherine, all the heavy artillery of Army Group South would have been destroyed by the Soviets, and even the armored units parked in the open plain would have suffered heavy losses.

Amini sent two aviation divisions at one time, of course, only fighters, a total of more than 700, Amini was determined to keep all the Soviet planes to offset his mistakes.

The huge fleet of planes sent by Amini, under the command of radar, rushed towards the huge fleet of Soviet planes from all directions, and the end of Soviet aircraft had arrived.

The Soviet planes did not even have a chance to escape, and the Soviet Union had more than 500 sneak attack planes, including about 200 fighters.

The sky over the entire Petrovsk was full of planes chasing each other, and all kinds of light bombs were like meteor showers in the air, never stopped. Soviet planes were beaten down one after another by "BF109", and less than 100 of the more than 500 Soviet planes escaped, not because the Soviet planes did not want to run, but because they could not run "BF109" at all, not to mention that the German army still had the command of the radar.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Soviet planes shot down have been counted, our side shot down a total of 424 Soviet planes, our losses of 120 pilots, the loss of 52 pilots, the rest of the pilots were all rescued, 430 Soviet pilots were captured, and our artillery losses ...... Fifty-eight artillery pieces were lost. ”

"How many cannons are lost?"

Guderian couldn't believe his ears a little, thinking that he had misheard, and hurriedly asked.

"Commander-in-chief, our loss of fifty-eight large-caliber artillery pieces is a complete loss."

Guderian understood that the complete loss meant that the shadow of the artillery was gone, and even a few pieces of scrap metal could not be found, and that all the artillery had gone to God.

"The losses are still bearable, let Amini put away his arrogant thoughts, Stalin is not a sick cat, and now Britain and the United States are sparing no effort to support Stalin!"

Manstein was also afraid that Guderian would suddenly make a mistake and kill Amini, but now it seems that it will not be, after all, Amini's mistake this time is so big that it can be sent to a military court.

Now is not the time to hold accountable, Manstein proposes to go to the artillery positions and take a look, anyway the shelling continues:

"Brother Guderian, you can command here with peace of mind! There is still half an hour to go before the ground attack, and I will go to see the artillery positions. ”

Guderian nodded gratefully at Manstein's brother, and then turned all his attention to the upcoming ground war, which was a battle between millions of troops, and Guderian could not be careless.

……

Timoshenko and Tuvatin are definitely not stupid, they are also very concerned about their air force, and this time the attack on the German artillery, Timoshenko also showed the courage to break the cauldron.

It was not that Timoshenko did not know that German planes were advanced and the quality of German pilots was also high, but Timoshenko did not plan to hide the planes, because it was useless at all, and Timoshenko did not want to do such a thing.

Thousands of German heavy artillery bombarded their defensive positions indiscriminately, there were still hundreds of planes in the air, and the soldiers on their defensive positions did not dare to come out of the defensive artillery holes at all; if Germany was allowed to bomb indiscriminately like this, Timoshenko, who had been in battle for a long time, thought that few of the generals on his position could climb out of the defensive artillery holes alive, so Timoshenko had to send all his planes out to attack the German artillery positions!

Timoshenko waited for the results of the air raid for many seconds, and finally the telegraph officer ran into the command room at a brisk pace, reporting:

"Report to Comrade Timoshenko, our Air Force has returned."

"How's it going?"

"Shot down about two hundred enemy planes, blew up about three hundred enemy artillery, and killed about three thousand Germans."

Temoshenko rubbed his hands excitedly and said happily:

"Yes, the effect of this air raid is very good, if we have a few sneak attacks, the planes and heavy artillery of the German front line will be all finished. Our planes are not as good as the German ones in terms of quality, but we still have the ability to tell the Germans that the Soviet skies still belong to the Soviet Union. ”

It was not clear to him that these results were fabricated by his own subordinates, and that the air force commander of Timoshenko had fabricated false results in order to escape the crime of being shot.

Timoshenko excitedly continued to ask:

"What about our losses?"

"We lost 424 planes, 10 crashed on the way back, and 76 returned safely."

"Ahh

After hearing the report, Timoshengo screamed, and couldn't say a word with his mouth wide open. His political commissar Tuvatin saw the pale Timoshenko, and hurriedly helped Temoshenko to sit down, and comforted him in a low voice:

"Marshal Timoshenko, don't worry about the loss of the air force, Britain and the United States have continuously sent a large number of weapons and equipment, and the number of planes among them is very considerable, or it won't be long before our skies will be filled with our planes.
