Two hours later, the new German Field Marshal Rommel's car entered the town of Diechinen, escorted by a large number of German troops. Looking at www.biquge.info grenadiers who were gathering around to enjoy the cigarettes distributed by the Ming army, Rommel ordered his driver to stop, and then he walked over, accompanied by a large group of officers.

"Sir!" The grenadiers, who were standing on a pile of rubble, saw a large group of officers approaching, hurriedly stopped laughing, and saluted.

"You're doing a great job." After returning the salute, Rommel nodded and said, "How did it feel about this battle?" ”

"Sir." A German corporal looked at his comrades and replied, "Although the enemy is fiercely resisting, it is much easier than the previous battle." Their will to fight and their technical and tactical level have been greatly reduced. It doesn't feel like the elite unit of the Ming army. ”

"Huh." Rommel turned to look at the dozens of dejected prisoners of war crouching next to the ruins of a small two-story building not far away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Although they look almost identical in terms of face and skin color." However, what we encountered in Dychingen this time was not the regular army of the Ming Dynasty. These are the armies of their vassals. Comparatively speaking, it is like the Luxembourg army that joined the Wehrmacht. ”

The German troops around them all showed surprised expressions after hearing Rommel's words. This era is not the era of the information explosion of modern time and space. It was difficult for people in this era to obtain information from the outside world, and it was normal for these ordinary German officers and soldiers not to know the difference between the Ming army and the army of the Kingdom of Korea. Just like all white people in the eyes of the Ming people, all yellow people are the same in their eyes.

"Although this is not a regular unit of the Ming army, you are still doing a good job." Rommel was very satisfied. It took them just over an hour to break down the defenses of more than 10,000 defenders, which fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the German army.

"Alright." After a few moments, Rommel looked at the cigarettes in the hands of the soldiers and the other trophies under their feet, and said with a smile, "Now you can enjoy the fruits of your victory." ”

Although the armies of the Kingdom of Korea were all cannon fodder for the Ming army, their military supplies were rationed according to the standards of the Ming army. After the Germans succeeded in crushing the resistance of the Korean army, the supplies of these people became the trophies of the German army, which had been short of all kinds of supplies for a long time.

The most popular are of course cigarettes, which are not produced in Germany. Almost every soldier is a smoker because they need this kind of military material that can relieve mental stress. This is followed by all kinds of canned food, especially canned fruits, and then there are alcohol, chocolate, tea, honey, and so on. These things were a rare treat for the German army.

As Rommel returned to his car, the loud roar of the engine could be heard in the sky. It was a long time coming, and the fighter unit of the Ming Army Aviation finally arrived on the battlefield after the battle. But there were no more targets here that needed their reinforcements. The fighters of the Daming Army Airlines had no choice but to hurriedly put the bomb on the ground, and then turned around and left. They need to realign their deployments.

"It would be nice if all our opponents were such troops." Looking at the Army fighters that hurriedly left in the sky, Rommel shook his head slightly. This time it was only an army of a vassal state, and its combat strength was not enough to resist the ferocious attack of the German army. However, if it were the elite infantry units of the Ming army, even if they would eventually fail in the face of the German armor frenzy. However, it will inevitably bring huge losses to the German army.

"Leave the infantry to hold their positions and order them to fight to the last man." After giving the order to his adjutant, Rommel closed the window and turned to look at his driver. ”

The units of German Army Group G, having opened a breach near the town of Diechinen, advanced rapidly towards the Karlsruhe area without stopping. The surrounding Ming troops were dragged by the German infantry who stayed behind to hold on, and they were never able to get rid of their entanglement and pursue the fleeing German main force.

By the afternoon of 11 August, most of the German troops had escaped the encirclement using all the means of transport they could gather. They fled in the face of the fierce attack of the Ming Army and Aviation, and the losses along the way were very heavy.

In order to save this force, which was extremely important to Germany at this time, the Allies sent a large number of air forces from France, Belgium and the Netherlands to support it. Fierce fighting between the air forces of the two sides lasted from morning to evening, and thousands of aircraft of all types were lost.

Because most of the fighter units of the Ming army on the front line have been converted into jet aircraft wings, and the Allied air power, which is still dominated by piston engine aircraft, has suffered heavy losses. At one point, the battle damage exchange ratio between the two sides reached a terrifying level of 1:10. This is the main reason why Allied fighters have rarely appeared in the sky since the Ming army's jet fighter wings arrived at the front line.

If you go up, you almost want to die. In this case, the allies could not afford to consume pilots of this magnitude. Even if there are a lot of planes and they don't care about losses, the pilots are not able to produce them in ten or twenty minutes. The loss of every pilot was unacceptable for the allies.

Although the Americans have already received the technical information of the Germans with a full set of jets. But it's not easy to turn it into results quickly. Production plants and raw materials, training of workers and production placement and commissioning of specialized production machines, etc. In addition, there is very important pilot training.

It's not that just pulling a pilot will be able to fly a jet. This new aircraft, which is completely different from the one near the propeller, requires special training to be able to fly in combat.

As early as 1942, Daming Army Aviation had completed the finalization of jet aircraft, and they spent nearly a year training pilots, which led to the strength of Daming's jet fighter wing to dominate the sky.

After the loss of the sky, the actions of the Allies became increasingly difficult. Needless to say, important cities in the rear were bombed into ruins, and many times the Allied troops would encounter heavy bombardment by the Ming Army and Air Force on the march, thus breaking up the entire army without bombing and losing its formation.

Army Group G led by Rommel did not actually encounter much resistance on the way to escape. Because the main force of the Ming army was still some distance between them at this time. Even if it is always catching up quickly, it is not possible to catch up in a short period of time. And Army Group G was not so far from the Rhine.

However, because of the fierce bombardment of the Ming Army and Air Aviation, in just two days, the Germans lost almost most of their armor and various vehicles. The number of casualties and the number of people scattered and abandoned was as high as nearly 100,000. On this road, which is no more than 100 kilometers, there are all kinds of burning German vehicles and German soldiers who are dead and wounded.

After Rommel commanded Army Group G, which had successfully reached Karlsruhe and subsequently crossed the Rhine, had less than 100,000 men and less than 100 tanks of various types. Most of these losses were due to the air power of the Ming army's army and aviation.

The Ming dive bombers carried high-explosive bombs weighing half a ton could hit the vicinity of German tanks at very precise angles. The enormous power generated by a bomb of this level after the explosion was a shock, and it could also shock the German armorers within its reach. As for other models of vehicles, this is not a problem.

The perspective of the planes flying in the sky is much wider than that of the infantry on the ground. And the road from Stuttgart to Karlsruhe is almost always a vast plain with no obstruction. This directly exposed the German troops to the attack of the Ming Army Aviation.

The German soldiers lined up in rows were extremely dangerous when they encountered the Ming fighters attacking from low altitudes. Because experienced Ming fighter pilots would fly at low altitudes and appear in the sky above the German marching columns at a very fast speed, taking them by surprise.

The new Ming jet is equipped with two 20-millimeter cannons on the wings, and can also carry several 50-kilogram or 100-kilogram bombs. When they suddenly appeared in the sky above the German marching column, it was a massacre of Chiguoguo.

The fighter pilots of the Ming Army Aviation usually lowered the altitude to a position of no more than a few tens of meters, and then fired their crosshairs at the center of the German marching column.

The whip-like 20-millimeter cannon pulled out a long tongue of fire and swept through the panicked German marching columns. But anyone who was touched by a horrific warhead was torn to pieces. Moreover, the Ming pilots would also drop all the bombs on the wings and belly before pulling up the plane.

Although the Germans were equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, the number of Ming army and army aviation fighters was too large and too sudden. Moreover, the Germans were always on the march and could hardly organize any effective resistance. After losing the protection of the air force, the ground forces can only be tortured by enemy planes.

One of the main reasons why the armies of the Third Reich collapsed after 1944 in modern time and space history was that they lost air protection.

And for the Germans, although they crossed the Rhine, it did not mean that they no longer had any worries and were safe. The Rhine River is not a no-fly zone classified by the United Nations, so the pilots of the Daming Army Aviation will not care about these natural barriers.

Soaring in the sky, the Ming Army pilots crossed the Rhine in droves and continued to attack any target they were interested in. The Germans simply could not hold out for too long. (To be continued.) )
