Chapter 662: The Bomber and the Wood
The rumbling sound of artillery resounded throughout the land, and the smoke of gunpowder enveloped this large city covering an area of 1,081 square kilometers, and it has been two months since the German army surrounded the city, and 1.8 million German troops and 1.25 million Soviet troops have fought bloodied on this land, and the Soviet army under the leadership of Zhukov has resisted desperately, and the Germans have not broken through the outer defense of the Soviet army despite all their efforts.
"Buzz"
A low roar came from the clouds, and more than 100 black-pressed B-17 heavy bombers appeared in the sky above the Soviet position, and they quickly lowered to an altitude of 3,000 meters, and hundreds of tons of bombs fell on the Soviet position in a sharp whistling.
And the Soviet troops on the ground were not to be outdone, and the anti-aircraft artillery of various calibers also retreated and poured their anger into the sky, and a cloud of green or black smoke exploded in the air, like a festive flower blooming in the air. But if any plane happens to be within the range of the salute explosion, then the shrapnel that is about to fly out will quickly burrow into the fuselage of the plane, cut through the fuselage of the plane, kill and injure its members, and then the plane that originally seemed to be majestic will fall to the ground with black smoke, and even explode in the air.
In an observation post more than 20 kilometers outside the Soviet position, General Guderian, the commander of the second group, put down his binoculars and said with some regret to the commander of the fourth group, General Hopner: "It would be nice if we could have more heavy bombers, as long as we can gather enough 300 heavy bombers, we can carry out uninterrupted covering bombing, and then the tank group will rush like this again, and it will be much easier to capture the positions of the Soviet Russians." ā
Admiral Hopner sighed and said with a wry smile: "Heinz, these planes in the sky are already all our heavy bombers, since our government and the Huaxia government have cut off trade with us since the war between our government and the Huaxia government, this heavy bomber naturally stopped exporting to us, and now this aircraft is even very tight in the supply of spare parts, you don't expect these heavy bombers to help us sweep the positions of the Soviet Russians in the future." ā
"Alas!" Guderian also sighed heavily, although the lower-level officers and soldiers of the German army did not know that the relationship between the government and China had begun to stiffen, how could they hide it from Guderian, a senior general. It's just that although they are very dissatisfied with this strategy of the government of their country, there is nothing they can do, after all, this is no longer the business of their soldiers.
Can't we build these heavy bombers ourselves? Shall it not be long before our engineers copy these bombers? Guderian thought about it and was still a little unwilling, the power of these heavy bombers is really nothing to say, hundreds of tons of bombs are thrown down in one trip, and the enemy's position will collapse no matter how strong it is, if it is just gone, it is really unwilling.
"Heinz, you're still thinking too simply." Hopner smiled bitterly: "To say that we have the ability to manufacture this heavy bomber, but the production and construction of heavy bombers is not so simple, just to say that the workshop and production line of this heavy bomber are different from our original dive bomber, everything has to be restarted, plus the production line from manufacturing to commissioning is not a year and a half can be solved." Besides, you are not unaware of Marshal Goering's consistent attitude towards the Chinese government, and if you want him to agree to copy the Chinese plane, it is simply impossible. ā
Speaking of this, Guderian was silent, the fat man who claimed that everything that could fly in Germany belonged to him was under his control, and he had always hated the Chinese government, although he was forced by Hitler to equip his air force with heavy bombers of the Chinese people, but now he wanted to be cheeky to copy and produce this bomber of the Chinese people who had always been looked down upon, he really couldn't save face.
"This Goering is really not enough to achieve and more to lose!" Guderian could only scold indignantly in his heart at this moment.
"Comrade Zhukov, how is the fighting on the outskirts of Moscow going now?" In the spacious office, a deep voice wafted through the empty space.
Zhukov's face was still so calm, and he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, respected Comrade Stalin, the German offensive has been broken down by us, and our outlying fortifications can withstand at least a week, and then our fortifications in the city will be completed." ā
"That's good, the outer positions must hold out for another week, so that we can hold out until our reinforcements and supplies arrive. Only then do we have the capital to engage in street battles with the enemy. Stalin nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The current battle in Yekaterinburg is very bad, Comrade Sisyat reported that the Chinese had occupied the Catherine field at noon yesterday, which means that Yekaterinburg can no longer be defended, in order to prevent the Chinese army from taking the opportunity to march to Moscow and join the German invaders, we need to transfer a mobile force of no less than 500,000 people to Kazan, so as to deter the Chinese, and secondly, once the Chinese advance to Moscow, we will not be in a hurry, you see?" ā
Zhukov was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Comrade Stalin, now that most of our troops are trapped in Moscow, Umyyanovgrad, and Stalingrad, it may be difficult to transfer 500,000 people at once." ā
"If you can't do it, you have to do it, if the Chinese people take the opportunity to attack us westward, then it will be too late." There was a hint of irritation in Stalin's words, he was actually in a state of anxiety at this time, Stalingrad, Moscow and Umyanovgrad were fighting with the Germans, and most of the Russian forces were also pinned down there, if the Chinese attacked westward again, everything would be over.
"Comrade Stalin, I don't think there is any need for such worries, if the Chinese really wanted to go west, they would have come and join the Germans." Zhukov had to comfort his boss like this, "The Chinese just want to watch us and the Germans fight to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and now they will not act rashly." ā
"No, we can't put our own safety on the premise that the enemy won't advance west." Still shaking his head, Stalin said: "Our own destiny must be in our own hands." ā
Although he was very unimpressed with this, Zhukov also knew that Stalin's words were still reasonable, "As you wish, I will go and send a force to Kazan as soon as possible." ā
"Go ahead, just hold on for another week, and by the time the first heavy snow falls, everything will be fine." Stalin's voice still sounded confident.
"Yes, I'll do it!"
With the sound of footsteps, the office fell silent again
Watching the sun set, a warm afterglow shone on the eaves of the Prime Minister's Office, and Su Tong, who was walking in the garden, was also talking about the same thing.
"Have all the winter clothes of the troops been shipped? Now the millions of troops in Soviet Russia are still wearing autumn clothes, and the weather will soon turn cold, and we must not let our troops fight in autumn clothes! Thinking of the terrible winter in Soviet Russia, Su Tong shivered in his heart. Historically, Napoleon and Hitler were defeated not so much by the Russians as by the Russians in winter and poor traffic.
"Rest assured, sir, 5.5 million sets of winter clothes have been shipped, and they are guaranteed to be delivered to all battlefields in Soviet Russia within a week, and our soldiers will never be frozen." The person who spoke was Ma Jun, who was currently the head of the Logistics Department of the Huaxia National Defense Forces, who was an unknown person in both the Chinese military circles and the world, and he was walking by Su Tong's side at this time.
Su Tong turned his head to look at the cyborg man with the rank of general beside him, and sighed in his heart, it has been seven years since he came to this time and space, and he is also a thirty-year-old person, but this person's appearance is still the same as back then, and there is no change at all. This expedition of millions of troops is out, and countless supplies have to be transported to Soviet Russia thousands of kilometers away every day, all of which have to pass through the hands of Ma Jun.
"By the way, how is the research going in Lop Nur?" After asking about logistics, Su Tong asked about the "Yaori Plan" again. These are all major matters that have a bearing on the fate of the entire country, and he cannot afford not to be cautious.
It is expected that our first atomic bomb will be ready for test explosion by April next year, and since this is the first test explosion, General Zhang and those scientists have set the power of the first atomic bomb at 500,000 yields. Ma Jun knew everything about these things in charge, and he answered Su Tong's questions as soon as he opened his mouth.
"That's good!" Su Tong nodded with satisfaction, as long as the atomic bomb is successfully developed, then Huaxia will be invincible in this biggest war in human history.
As for the development of the atomic bomb by the Americans and the Germans, the process of developing the atomic bomb has been greatly slowed down after Su Tong intervened in the middle of the way, assassinated and kidnapped a group of scientists, and it is expected that it will be good if it can be successfully developed in four or eight years.
"Humph Japan, when the time comes, my brother will definitely put a few big firecrackers on your heads!" Thinking of the scene of putting that brilliant flower on the head of the Japanese in the future, Su Tong's heart couldn't help but start to heat up. ać
