readx;

At 2 a.m. on 22 June 1941, 3,500 German warplanes divided into dozens of air raid groups attacked all Russian targets within 300 kilometers of the German border. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hundreds of Russian military camps were bombed, as were the main bridges and roads leading from the Russian border to the interior.

After just an hour of bombing, the northern, central, and southern Russian border to Leningrad, Moscow, Kiev and other important communication arteries were all cut off.

Nearly a million Russian ** teams in the far west of Russia have lost direct contact with Moscow. Then a whole five thousand tanks and armored vehicles on the territory of Germany began to quickly strike in the direction of the above three cities.

Behind them were hundreds of thousands of German military vehicles, pulling a full three million German troops and supplies, and began to boldly penetrate into the Russian territory in western Russia.

Since most of the Russian troops were under heavy bombardment at this time, the troops suffered heavy losses, plus the road from the border to Moscow was blocked, and the telephone and telegraph were cut off.

The next morning, the Russians, who had finally figured out what had happened that night, found that most of them had been blocked in the barracks by German tanks and armored vehicles.

Because the Russian army fought on its own and could not organize an effective counterattack, a large number of Russian troops were divided and surrounded. A night of air strikes had already broken up most of the troops.

The troops that were not scattered were helpless because they did not receive clear orders from above, and even if they organized a little resistance, they could not resist the attack of German tanks.

What's more, the Germans did not give the Russians a chance to resist at all, and even omitted the steps to surrender, and at dawn of the day, the German artillery units and mechanized infantry divisions finally arrived in front of the Russian garrison.

When hundreds of thousands of German troops launched the first attack on the Russian army with the help of thousands of artillery pieces, a massacre without suspense had begun.

The Russian army, which did not have many heavy weapons at all, was wantonly crushed by German tanks and artillery. Millions of Russian troops were defeated in a battle. The Russian troops, desperately resisting, were either mercilessly killed by German tanks and artillery, or fell under the heavy German machine guns.

Most of the Russian troops rushed into the barracks as prisoners by the Germans without organizing resistance at all, and although a few Russian troops who reacted quickly entered their respective positions, some troops even established several lines of defense.

It's a pity that under the crushing of German planes and artillery, their performance is not as good as that of the Chinese ** in front of the Japanese army. In just one day's fighting, all the important military towns within 200 kilometers of the Russian border were occupied by the Germans.

Then the German tank and armored forces, having completed the first wave of attacks, immediately advanced non-stop to Leningrad, Moscow and Kiche in three directions.

In fact, before the German tanks entered Russian territory, the first wave of 3,500 planes had just crossed the Russian border and were on their way to their respective targets on the border.

Germany also arranged for 1,500 warplanes to pounce on three bombing targets that Germany considered to be the most important, attacking Leningrad, Moscow, and Kiev and other important military targets in the surrounding areas.

At three o'clock in the morning of June 22, the sky over Moscow, the huge capital of Russia, was just a little dark, and on both sides of the open streets, hundreds of drunken drunkards were still lying on the cold steps and were still asleep.

At this time, outside the city of Moscow, industrious Russian farmers took advantage of the cool weather to enter the fields early to plow.

After the farmers had been working in the field for a while, everyone slowly straightened up, raised their heads, and walked out of the field in agreement.

The women took out dry food and served a simple breakfast to the men. The men went to the ditch at the edge of the field to light a dry tobacco, took a few quick puffs, and enjoyed the happiness brought by the burning tobacco.

Among them, there are several farmers from wealthy families, and even generously took out Moscow brand cigarettes from Huaxing Tobacco Factory imported from China.

While judging the figure of the peasant women in the fields, everyone boasted about the feat of fighting with their mother-in-law for hundreds of rounds last night. At the same time, he also prayed that there must be a good harvest this year, and that he could get more grain and pay more food during the autumn harvest, and he could also exchange more money to buy more cigarettes from Huaxing Company.

I heard that the vodka spirits produced by Huaxing Company are the best goods, but unfortunately the price is expensive, and when it is not the time for the New Year, if you don't catch up with the promotion of Huaxing Department Store, the vodka spirits they can't afford to buy by the people.

However, if you can't afford it, you have to save money to buy it, because in today's Russia, if you can't take out two bottles of vodka produced by Huaxing to entertain distinguished guests during the Chinese New Year, you will be looked down upon by your neighbors.

It is said that even their leader, Comrade Stalin, was particularly fond of this vodka spirit from Manchuria, China, and whenever an important foreign friend visited, he would always open a few bottles and invite these foreign friends to taste it, and it is said that foreign friends who drank this spirit also praised it.

As if in order to increase the production of this spirit, a large number of thousands of square kilometers of farmland were specially given to the Chinese in Manchuria called Xiangzuo.

Alas, we have nothing else in Russia is more land, this kind of wine is really good, if every Russian can drink this kind of wine every day, let alone rent thousands of square kilometers of land to the Chinese, even if it is all rented to them?

Just as a few knowledgeable Moscow peasants were sitting in the fields outside Moscow, chatting and farting. I saw a lot of planes flying in the sky to the west of the city.

"Where do you get so many planes?" Afraid there will be thousands? It's not time for the parade yet, is it? Hundreds of farmers in the fields watched with curiosity as the plane flew over their heads.

"These planes fly so low, why don't the fuselages of these planes have a red five-star logo, but a black double cross? Has the Red Cross changed its logo? Or something like a Black Cross. ”

Under the strange gaze of these peasants, the first planes had already flown over Moscow, and then the nose of these planes suddenly pulled up, and then, from a distance, the peasants saw from a distance that these planes seemed to drop two small black balls under the belly.

Then, there was a violent tremor and a loud explosion on the ground. Listening to a loud explosion in the distance, and watching thick black smoke rise from the city, the farmers outside the city finally exclaimed: "God! Air raids! ”

Then a mournful air raid siren sounded throughout the city of Moscow.

Massive German air raids began. Of this batch of 1,500 planes, 300 flew to Leningrad, 200 to Kyiv, and indeed a full 1,000 attacked Moscow.

And there were 800 clumsy heavy bombers out of a thousand aircraft, and the reason why the Germans were so bold was firstly because of the excellent performance of these bombers, and secondly because Russia at this time did not expect to be bombed by the Germans at all.

Because until this time the Germans' bombs fell on the heads of the Muscovites, and they could not figure out who had attacked them.

This was part of Li Tie's change of Hitler's initial plan of attack. In the original history, German planes did not directly attack Moscow, but began to bomb Moscow only a month after the war had been carried out, after the completion of the occupation of several hundred kilometers of land on the Russian border.

At that time, Moscow had already established a complete air defense system, and at the same time, Germany and Russia had already entered a state of war, so the Germans did not effectively bomb the city of Moscow until the siege of Moscow. This led to the defeat of Germany in the future siege of Moscow, because Moscow had already moved its arsenal underground, and various strategic factories had been defended accordingly.

But this time it was different, with Li Tie's reminder, the goal of these German planes was very clear, they did not go to the barracks of several cities, but the first to attack the planes outside Moscow.

Then there were the grain processing factories, the power plant, the telegraph office, the water supply plant, and finally the arsenal and all kinds of factories in the city.

In the past, the Germans would have been the first to attack the city's office and administrative buildings.

This time, the German General Staff changed the bombing style of the past, but changed to a very practical focus on people's livelihood and military production.

Since most of these places did not have anti-aircraft fire, the Luftwaffe bombing effect was surprisingly good, and the Russian air force and air defense forces had not organized an effective defense until this time, so the Luftwaffe was very successful.

This bombing alone destroyed 70 percent of the industrial production capacity of Moscow, a huge city, and plunged Moscow into a panic.

The people of Moscow were suddenly plunged into the flames of war, and Moscow's factories and important military targets were bombed. As the political heart of Russia, as well as the center and symbol of Russia's power, the Kremlin, where Stalin worked, was naturally the focus of German bombing.

Fortunately, two anti-aircraft artillery regiments near the Kremlin played a good role in air defense, and more than a dozen of the newest German heavy bombers were shot down by Kremlin anti-aircraft fire. This prevented the German bombers from bombing unscrupulously.

When Comrade Stalin, who was hiding in an underground bomb shelter in the Kremlin, heard that there were fewer and fewer bombs falling overhead, he said to the general next to him with a blue face:

"It must have been the Germans who treacherously attacked us, immediately contact several marshals, we want to counterattack, we want to let the despicable Germans know the history of our Russian Red Army."
