Chapter 469: Germany Begins Attacking Russia
In the early morning of June 22, 1941, it was at least three hours before the sky was dark. On the 1,800-kilometer land and sea border from Poland to Romania from north to south, from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, millions of German troops had already secretly lurked in their respective defense areas, closely watching the Russian border in the distance.
At the same time, along the 1,800-kilometer German-Russian border, hundreds of German special detachments of several dozen people, carrying huge packages on their backs, with binoculars around their necks, and military maps in their hands, began to feel for the Russian border not far away.
Some of these hundreds of detachments crossed the border directly into Russian territory, and some detachments directly touched the Russian army's outposts, and soon the Russian sentries responsible for defending against the German attack were assassinated by the German special forces.
Then these detachments immediately cut off the communication between the various outposts and the rear barracks, and at the same time infiltrated the Russian territory as quickly as possible.
At the same time, inside the Russian border, outside dozens of Russian military garrisons, there were also groups of German secret agents, who made the final mark of the location of the Russian military camp, and then ran towards the wilderness in the designated direction, and every time they ran a certain distance, they would always calculate the exact distance.
The agents quickly found the military telephone lines that had been detected a long time ago, and then one by one they took out the telegraph and looked at the watches in their hands to wait for the most important moment to come.
At the same time, when the sentries on the German-Russian border were almost wiped out, hundreds of tanks slowly drove from a distance on dozens of high-grade roads on the side of the German occupation zone and quickly crossed the Russian border towards the Russian hinterland.
As soon as the German tanks crossed the border and headed for the Russian hinterland, thousands of bombers whistled over the heads of these tanks in the sky.
Dozens of minutes later, when the time pointed to one o'clock in the morning, outside the Russian army's garrison on the Russian border, the dozens of lurking German spy detachments immediately took out the pre-prepared wire cutting tools and cut the thick telephone line in their hands.
Then they took the bucket out of the package and poured the liquid into the countless trees and weeds around them according to a specific pattern.
They immediately removed the lighter from their bag after pouring the liquid, and then began to run quickly around, throwing the lighter in their hands on the liquid as they ran out of range.
"Wow!" With a bang, the entire forest was set on fire, and the huge fire could be seen more than ten miles away.
As the agents fled away from the Russian barracks, they kept whispering to each other: "Quick, fast, only two minutes, the farther you run, the better." ”
Two minutes later, when the agents ran out of the grove, they clearly heard a screaming sound in the air, and then saw a rumbling explosion in the Russian military camp in the distance, and then the entire Russian military camp was in flames.
Seeing this, the German agents showed excited expressions: "It was successful, according to our prior agreement, the gasoline was poured in the shape of an arrow, and the arrow pointed in the direction of the barracks."
In this way, our air force can really accurately find the location of the Russian military camp in the air in such a dark night. With tonight's bombardment alone, the Russian troops in front of us will definitely be destroyed, so that our ground forces can crush the Russian border guards without firing a single shot.
With tonight's bombardment, our ground forces can penetrate at least a hundred kilometers deeper into the interior of Russia. This plan is so painful that I really don't know which big boss in the Imperial Staff can come up with such a precise plan. ”
That night, there were hundreds of such German spy squads in Russia, and after completing their mission, they disguised themselves as refugees and began to flee to the planned major cities.
They would be the first Russian civilians to be driven out by the Germans into these big cities to do the unseemly things.
At this time, the Russian military camp not far away was in chaos, and it was the station of more than 10,000 people of a division of the Russian border defense group. Just two minutes earlier, they had been bombed indiscriminately by unnamed aircraft, and a huge military camp had been destroyed.
The enemy dropped not only powerful aerial bombs, but also countless incendiary bombs, and now it is the end of June, it is a day of lush vegetation, the woods around the barracks are lit, and countless thick smoke is drifting into the barracks.
As the commander of the 28th Division of the Russian Border Guards, Major General Petronov had torn up several phone numbers, and he still could not contact the military headquarters.
What is even more strange is that their radio is also useless, almost all the channels on the radio are full of noisy sounds, and Major General Petronov does not understand what is happening at all? But he could guess that the Germans must have bombed them.
Because looking at Europe today, only Germans have the strength, and only Germans have the courage to do this. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly resent:
"The Germans are too unsophisticated, the Soviet-German non-aggression pact will not reach until the end of next year, and they will openly tear up the armistice and attack our great Russia.
No, I must find a way to inform the military department, which originally gave the order to conduct secret training in preparation for a sneak attack on the Germans at the end of next year as soon as the armistice agreement was suspended.
I didn't expect to let the hateful Germans make the first move, this is really the first to benefit, and then the first to suffer, I don't know how my troops are damaged now? ”
Seeing that the telegram and the telephone were no longer working, Major General Petronov simply rushed out of the telegraph room and called a few orderlies, asked them to find the special service battalion and the cavalry battalion, and immediately sent more people to the military headquarters to report that they had been attacked by the Germans and asked for reinforcements.
Several orderly soldiers rushed out of the barracks quickly, braving the explosions that sounded from time to time around them, and rushed to the camp in the distance. In fact, the 28th Division at this time was more than a mess.
I don't know why the enemy's bombardment was so accurate in this dark night, almost all the barracks were hit by bombs, and there was no safe place for the whole camp.
Although the 10,000-strong troops sound like a lot, because of the intensive training, most of the nearly 10 regiments of the entire division are actually stationed not far from the division headquarters.
As soon as the first explosion sounded, the camps not far from the division headquarters were immediately lit up, and all of a sudden the lights of these barracks pointed out the direction of the bombing for the German air force.
As a result, more barracks were bombed, which led to serious damage to the Russian barracks. When Petronov finally rushed out of the barracks and saw the fire in the anti-aircraft artillery battalion camp guarding the division headquarters not far away, he couldn't help but curse:
"These stupid people in the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, they are not allowed to light the lights when the barracks are bombed, don't you even know such a little common sense?" As soon as I thought that the new commander of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion was actually a nerd parachuted in from the political department, he had never been a soldier at all.
He suddenly thought bitterly: "My God, my 28th Division, eight of the ten regiment commanders are political department personnel who don't understand military affairs to serve as military commanders. ”
Just when Petronov was still annoyed, suddenly he felt a sharp whistle in the air flying towards him, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
Just as several orderlies beside him were trying to pounce on Major General Petrov, an aerial bomb landed on the place where Petrov was standing.
With a loud bang, a huge crater appeared in Petrov's location, and Petronov and several orderlies around him had long since disappeared.
It turned out that the aerial bomb just now directly vaporized Major General Petrov and several of his loyal orderlies.
At the same time, at an altitude of several hundred meters, dozens of huge Junker bombers were hovering over the Russian military camp. As long as there is a light on the ground, their bombs are dropped.
In the middle of these bombers there is a special-looking bomber, this bomber has a huge round pot lid on the top, which looks a bit like an AWACS aircraft of later generations.
But in fact, in this era, where is there such a sophisticated weapon as early warning aircraft, they are just radio jammers designed by Huaxing Laboratory, just because of Li Tie's bad taste rather than to make a round antenna.
However, it was this unique jammer's round antenna shape that deeply impressed the German pilots. They treat this electronic jammer, which is also the most advanced electronic jammer of this era, as if it were a treasure.
It was the full-band jamming signal that blocked all the radio signals of the entire battlefield that made the war so far, and the Russian government did not know that their borders had been fully attacked.
At this moment, in the huge jamming machine, more than a dozen generals and colonels are constantly operating various electronic devices. A German major general even shouted the order: "At ten o'clock, an unknown light flashed in the direction, and the 15th and 16th bombers were ordered to bomb." ”
"Yes, General, the order has been delivered." A major officer replied.
"Report to the general, the bombing has been going on for half an hour, and judging from the fire on the ground, the 28th Division of the Russian Border Army, which is the target target, has basically lost its combat effectiveness, and the bombing brigade requests to end its mission and all of them to return." Another lieutenant colonel took a drawing and handed it to the major general.
The Major General looked at the dozen or so red targets marked on the map, and now each of them was marked with a checkmark, and the Major General was very satisfied.
"The intelligence work of the Imperial Intelligence Department is so good, the effect of this bombing is the most satisfactory effect for me, if there was such accurate intelligence during the bombing of London, the British would have been defeated by us a long time ago." Lieutenant Colonel said.
"Yes, has the Imperial Intelligence Department recently received some high-level guidance, they sent more than 100 pieces of information on the garrisons on the Russian border, not only the direction and location of each military camp are extremely accurate, but even the distribution of troops is extremely clear.
It can be said that after each of our bombs was dropped, the bombs did not go off, and we could almost roughly calculate the results of the battle. If there had been such clear information for every bombing in the future, regardless of the size of the Russian territory and the large number of people, we would only need to bomb a few times to destroy the Russians. The major said happily.
"Haha!" Interfere with the laughter of the German officers inside the plane.
