readx;??? In the early morning of August 28, 1941, when the sky was still very dark and the weather was even cooler and lovely, the 700,000 German officers and men of the German Army Group North, who had suffered two months of scorching heat outside Leningrad, were ready to attack early.

Perched on a high hill a few kilometers from Leningrad, Manstein was studying the latest operational maps from a concealed command post halfway up the mountain.

By the dim light, he looked at the time, and it was still a minute before it was one. According to the plan of the German staff, he would soon receive a radio signal from the air.

It is said that tonight there were a thousand bombers taking off from German territory alone, and as for how many fighters would come to escort the escort, Manstein did not know.

However, what he knew was that in the past month or so, although their Northern Army Group had 1,000 planes, there were only 200 bombers, and more fighters were used to fight for air supremacy.

In Manstein's view, Leningrad's air defense is quite qualified, and there are even more underground bomb shelters, and now Leningrad has been fighting fiercely with Army Group North for a month, and there are already good ways to guard against German night attacks.

So even though he heard that the Air Force had sent a thousand bombers to help him fight tonight, Manstein still did not think that it would cause much damage to Leningrad. Bombing alone still won't solve Leningrad. In Manstein's view, it would be better to send him an additional 2,000 tanks than to waste the hope of victory on the illusory air force.

If he could now be reinforced with two thousand tanks, especially the latest German Tiger tanks, even if only a thousand, Manstein thought he was sure enough to capture Leningrad within a month.

Unfortunately, that is impossible, because as far as he knows, although the current Tiger tank factory is already working overtime to manufacture, in fact, it will not produce 500 units by now.

I heard that a kind of reactive armor from Huaxing Laboratory is very expensive, and even with the economic power of the entire empire, it cannot be produced in large quantities.

Damn, it's that Huaxing laboratory again, and it seems that the best scientific research achievements in the world have all been invented by Huaxing laboratory in recent years.

It seems that they must find an opportunity to make suggestions to the Führer, and they must find a way to find the location of this Huaxing laboratory, and take them to a nest, so that they will no longer have to worry about the use of these high-tech products in Germany.

It's just that I heard that the boss of Huaxing Laboratory is Li Tie, a good friend of the Führer, and I don't know if the Führer will agree to his opinion based on the relationship between the Führer and Li Tie.

While Manstein was still thinking nonsense, the radio next to him suddenly sounded the voice of the Luftwaffe: "Vulture calls hounds, vultures call hounds, hear please answer, hear please answer." ”

"I'm a hound, I'm a hound, the call is clear, the call is clear." Manstein's operators are actively in contact with the Air Force.

"We have reached the skies over the enemy, please indicate the target, please indicate the target." Manstein heard the last contact from the Air Force. Orders were immediately given to fire flares from all artillery in the army into the city of Leningrad, and all tanks to launch their engines and prepare for the attack.

With Manstein's order, I saw a deafening sound of artillery suddenly sounding around Leningrad, and then thousands of flares were fired into the city of Leningrad.

These thousands of flares were like thousands of meteors falling slowly from the sky, illuminating a large area of Leningrad.

The Russian defenders in Leningrad had long been experienced with the air raids and artillery bombardments of the German army at night, and they had already thought of the simplest and most effective way of defense, that is, to control the lights of the whole city at night.

Once attacked by the Germans at night, immediately pull the power gate throughout the city, plunging the whole city into darkness, you must know that air raids in this era rarely occur at night, and the attack of the large army will not choose to attack at night, because that will only cause more accidental injuries.

Therefore, Leningrad's response was very simple, to respond to all changes without change, as long as the lights were not turned on, no matter how beneficial the German air force was, it would not be possible to bomb all the buildings in Leningrad.

When the artillery outside Leningrad sounded, dozens of anti-aircraft positions in the city turned on defensive mode, huge searchlights shot into the sky, and countless anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns poured shells into the air.

However, even the air defense forces themselves know that in this dark night, it is really impossible to directly hit a bomber in the sky.

Although the planes in the sky are also flickering, but they are too far away, everyone is blind, and they are lucky to be able to hit, and they are considered unlucky to be hit, and it is normal for them to miss, and no one will criticize them.

Therefore, from the air at this time, we can clearly see that dozens of air defense positions in Leningrad City are shooting fiery red bullet lines from the ground to the air from time to time.

If it were an ordinary air force, it would have been scared away by the fiery red projectiles flying all over the sky, but the Luftwaffe came prepared this time.

Don't look at the thousands of planes that came to bomb this time, but in fact, in order to avoid accidentally injuring themselves in the night bombing, the Luftwaffe divided the entire bombing team into ten squads, each squad only bombed for a few minutes, and after dropping the bombs in the planes, it had to quickly withdraw from the battlefield, and then the second wave of 100 bomber squadrons continued to bomb.

And every wave of planes that came to bomb did not come to bomb blindly, they stared closely at the area where the fire and flares disappeared on the ground. They did not run away after dropping the bombs as quickly as before, but drove slowly to the relevant airspace, and dropped the special bombs in the plane one by one.

These bombs roared and flew to the ground, and when they were still tens or even hundreds of meters in the air, they exploded spontaneously with a bang, and then hundreds or thousands of huge fireballs were scattered to the ground.

These fireballs, whether they fall on buildings or anti-aircraft weapons, do not extinguish on their own, but burn until there is nothing left to burn.

Just the first wave of bombing, Leningrad was already full of wolf smoke, and everywhere there were unquenchable sparks. Everywhere that was covered by Mars was burned to the ground.

As for the Russian soldiers and civilians who were injured by Mars, they were unlucky, and neither they could extinguish the Mars with water or sand. Even if a person gets a little bit of it, it will only shoot more and more, and finally form a human-shaped fireball until it burns to death.

If there were Japanese soldiers who participated in the Battle of Changsha here, they would have been surprised, it turned out that these bombs were napalm bombs that Li Tie sent people to throw into Changsha City.

This napalm is actually very easy to make, and with Germany's strong industrial capacity, it is easy to make hundreds of thousands of pieces a week as long as there is a recipe.

However, Li Tie was only able to sell the formula of the coagulant without bombing at such a high price because Li Tie also sold the accessories of the proximity fuse to Hitler at the same time.

It turned out that Hitler only got the formula for napalm at that time, but the proximity fuse that could exert the maximum power of napalm was the patent of Huaxing Laboratory.

In order to better help Hitler occupy Leningrad, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li Tie directly used his strategic reserves and airlifted millions of proximity fuses to Hitler by plane.

Germany only needs to install the proximity fuze provided by Li Tie on the napalm to ban the original collision fuse.

It is precisely because of Li Tie's proximity fuse that the power of a napalm can be increased to more than 100 times.

It is important to know that napalm without a proximity fuse is not very effective in a city full of high-rise buildings, because high-rise buildings will prevent the gasoline bomb from spreading in all directions.

However, with a proximity fuse, it is different, after being detonated at an altitude of 100 meters, the area of napalm will be more than ten times larger. At this time, the destructive effect of a napalm explosion is dozens of times greater than that of a gasoline bomb that falls to the ground and explodes.

Thus, when 1,000 German bombers attacked Leningrad this evening with 100,000 napalm bombs equipped with proximity fuses, the whole of Leningrad was actually subjected to 10,000 or even 100,000 sorties of conventional bombing.

Who can imagine what the consequences will be after a city is bombed by 10,000 or even 100,000 planes in a short period of time?

In just one night, the inexperienced Russian defenders suffered heavy losses, and overnight, almost a thousand tactical positions were devastated by napalm.

Even more serious was the fact that overnight, the air defense forces of the entire Leningrad were the first to be devastated. Almost in the first round of bombardment, the Luftwaffe wiped out dozens of anti-aircraft positions in Leningrad.

Then, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were also destroyed, and those who were lucky enough not to be burned to death were also poisoned to death by a large amount of poisons such as white phosphorus contained in napalm.

The most important thing is that these poisoned people will not die immediately, they will ulcerate all over their bodies, there is no medicine, and finally they will die miserably after screaming for a few days and nights to consume all the energy in their bodies.

So the next morning, when the soldiers and civilians in Leningrad crawled out of the bomb shelters and saw the tragic events around them, more civilians collapsed.

However, this was only the beginning, after the first napalm attack on Leningrad, from this day on, three consecutive days of super-intensive bombardment, day and night, directly burned Leningrad to the ground.

On the third day, after the Germans used this napalm, which could destroy almost everything, Zhukov led his generals to escape on Russian fighters during the German air raids.
