At the beginning of the war, an air commander of the deputy division level was trapped behind enemy lines, and this news was immediately reported to Rommel's former enemy headquarters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Führer Rommel is now very idle as the former enemy's commander-in-chief, the three army groups have their own commanders-in-chief, and the general strategic direction is guided by the "Barbarossa Plan", and the Führer Rommel will not interfere in the specific operational arrangements, so it is impossible for the Führer Rommel not to be idle!

When this news reported that Führer Rommel was here, the great Führer Rommel finally found something to do, and Führer Rommel, who had not had a practical "eye of God" for a long time, now finally had his own use.

Rommel immediately used the "Eye of God" to probe the coordinate area reported by Charles at the time of the crash, and Rommel's current "Eye of God" has reached a detection distance of 500 kilometers, and the detection radius has also reached an unprecedented 200 kilometers.

To put it simply, Rommel can detect all situations around him for 700 kilometers, which is equivalent to the visual reconnaissance satellite of later generations, and Rommel's eye of God is the confidence that he dares to inherit Hitler's legacy and continue to challenge the whole world with Germany's own strength.

The site of Charles' crash, scanned by the "Eye of God", was soon discovered. Rommel saw Charles's crashed plane from the air, and he quickly closed the sight closer, and Rommel was pleasantly surprised to find it.

Colonel Charles was actually pulled away by a Soviet girl in an ox cart, and Rommel, who found Charles's specific coordinates, immediately ordered a helicopter commando team to dispatch, and five FA223 transport helicopters, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately flew according to the coordinates provided by Führer Rommel.

The helicopter to rescue Charles has departed, and the Führer Rommel, who was idle at the beginning of the war, did not close the eye of God, and he continued to check on Charles's situation, perhaps the idle Führer Rommel wanted to see what the Soviet girl was going to do with Charles.

Then Rommel discovered that a small group of Soviet militiamen was coming, and they went to the sheep shed where Charles was hiding.

The Führer Rommel immediately radioed the direct-flight commandos who had already departed, preparing them for battle.

Thanks to the accurate information provided by the Führer Rommel, Charles was rescued in time, but Maria, who helped Charles, was shot and killed by the Soviet militia.

After the rescued Charles woke up, he immediately crawled to Maria's side, Charles hugged Maria's emaciated body and cried, he said nothing and refused to let go of Maria's body, and the German army who rescued him had no choice but to carry Charles and Maria's bodies onto the helicopter together.

It was because of this incident that Charles began to be filled with extreme hatred for the Stalin regime in the Soviet Union, and he took the lead in every air battle in the future, resulting in the emergence of Germany's first air combat ace.

Charles shot down more than 300 planes, more than 500 tanks, and more than 1,000 vehicles of various types in the entire war against the Soviet Union.

……

The German army of 5.5 million launched a full-scale attack on the Soviet Union at a time that Stalin could not have imagined, and Germany launched a blitzkrieg against the Soviet troops in the region from three directions: north, center, and south.

The Soviet army was completely blinded by such a large-scale German blitzkrieg, and the commanders of the Soviet troops had no ability to deal with such a critical situation, and in addition to calling for help from their superiors, they ordered to shoot all soldiers and officers who dared to flee.

The large forces of the German army quickly launched a lightning pincer offensive against the Soviet troops in various areas, and the Soviet troops could only retreat in some relatively strong defensive positions and desperately cry for help, waiting for their fate can be imagined.

Stalin's 290 troops deployed on the Soviet border were superior to the Germans except for a small number of troops.

For example, the Soviet Union had 16,000 tanks deployed on the border, while the Germans had just over 5,000, and the Soviet Union had 32,900 artillery pieces deployed on the border, while the Germans had only more than 14,000.

In addition, the Soviet army also has a geographical advantage, the Soviet army has long built a large number of fortifications in the border area, they are still fighting on the mainland, and the logistics supply is also very convenient.

However, the Luftwaffe and Army were extremely well trained and experienced, and their qualitative superiority was more than offset by the Soviet Union's numerical superiority.

Coupled with the fact that a large number of experienced Red Army officers and commanders were killed by Stalin during the Great Purge (1935-1938), one-third of the Red Army officers and almost all of the high-ranking generals were executed or exiled to Siberia, and replaced by a large number of officers with "political experience" but no combat experience.

Three out of five field marshals were executed, and two-thirds of the corps and division commanders suffered the same fate. In total, the number of executed leaders of the Red Army was as high as 30,000.

This resulted in a large number of young and poorly trained officers within the Red Army; In 1941, for example, 75 percent of the officers of the Red Army had not served for more than one year.

The average age of the commanders of the corps of the Red Army was a full 12 years less than the average age of the commanders of the German divisions, and these officers often lacked the will to act actively on the battlefield, and a significant part were simply not capable of fulfilling their posts.

Most Soviet units remained in peacetime at the outbreak of war, which may explain why Soviet Air Force planes were easily destroyed by Luftwaffe bombers in tight line-up (rather than dispersed) along the runway.

Until the outbreak of the war, the Soviet Air Force was forbidden to attack German reconnaissance aircraft, and a large number of German reconnaissance planes were allowed to enter Soviet airspace to conduct surveys.

Although the Soviet Air Force had thousands of fighters, most of them were extremely old, such as the I-15 and I-16, while advanced aircraft such as the MiG and Lavochkin were scarce.

Very few warplanes had radios, and those that did had them often malfunctioned, and the lack of encrypted equipment made it easy for the Germans to eavesdrop. At the same time, Soviet pilots were extremely backward in their experience and technology in air combat.

The Red Army units were rather dispersed and unprepared, the units were often unable to communicate with each other, and there was a lack of transport to assemble effective combat forces. Although the Red Army had a very large number of advanced artillery, many of these guns were not equipped with ammunition.

Artillery units also lacked transports and could not be deployed quickly. Tank units are large and well-equipped, but they are extremely inexperienced, logistically unsupported, and poorly maintained.

Tank units are often rushed into battle without any fuel, ammunition, or personnel resupply arrangements. Usually after a single battle, the tank is destroyed or reimbursed.

Before the war, the Soviet propaganda machine was constantly promoting the strength of the Red Army, declaring that any aggression against the Soviet Union would be easily repulsed.

Stalin's stubborn personality prevented him from accepting any undesirable subordinate advice, and his blind faith in non-aggression pacts led to an increasing overestimation of the Soviet Union's strength in early 1941.

In the spring of 1941, Stalin's intelligence services repeatedly warned of an imminent German invasion, but none of them were taken seriously.

Although Stalin and his staff were aware of the possibility of an attack, Stalin decided to avoid provoking Rommel because of Stalin's superstition about the strength of the Red Army. (To be continued.) )
