The entanglement of Lao Jiang and others Chen Feng doesn't know the way and doesn't want to know the way, the current Chen Feng has been a little stunned by this failed battle, although this attack on Hulunbuir is not a failure, but it can't be said to be a complete victory, and the loss of the navy is barely a capital preservation, which makes Chen Feng very dissatisfied.

In the past, Chen Feng paid more attention to the issue of establishment, he knew Lao Jiang's personality very well, and knew that the chairman of the committee who had risen to become a hooligan was more suspicious, and he was unwilling to stimulate him if it was not necessary. If the old man really wants to do something to you, he really won't be soft, so he will not hesitate to order the troops to encircle and annihilate the New Fourth Army in the southern Anhui incident, so Chen Feng will not be idle and irritate the old man.

However, this time it was he Chen who was stimulated, and he was greatly stimulated, so he didn't care about those, and the old man was annoyed if he was upset!

However, Lao Chiang was not upset for a few days, and a sudden news made everyone stop what they were doing and set their eyes on Europe - Germany had launched an attack on the Soviet Union!

On April 15, when the bitter winter of the Soviet Union was about to pass, the German high command concentrated 152 divisions and 2 brigades, together with 29 divisions and 18 brigades from Finland, Romania and other client states, a total of 181 divisions and 20 brigades about 5.5 million people.

In order to win this battle, the German army gathered a total of about 4,300 tanks, more than 47,000 artillery pieces and mortars, 4,980 aircraft and 192 ships to participate in the battle.

The German High Command organized all its forces and weapons into three army groups and three independently acting armies, and launched an attack on the Soviet Union in three strategic directions. Army Group North was designed to destroy Soviet troops in the Baltic coastal area. Capture the port, deprive the Soviet fleet of bases and prevent the Soviet retreat to the east in order to advance towards Leningrad under strong conditions.

Middle. Army Group Central attacked in the direction of Brest and Minsk, cut the strategic front of the Soviet defenses, encircled and annihilated the Soviet troops in Belarus, and then attacked in the direction of Smolensk, aiming directly at Moscow.

Army Group South was to attack in the direction of Kyiv, seize the positions of Soviet troops in Ukraine on the right bank of the Dnieper River in the area south of Kyiv, and then attack in the direction of Donbass.

Hitler's magnanimity once again shocked the world and made the Soviets tremble. More than five million troops were dispatched at one time. This has rarely happened in the entire history of mankind.

Hitler did have the capital of his arrogance, and the German army achieved impressive results on the first day of fighting, and at the beginning of the battle, the Luftwaffe was very active in every theater of operations. In a short period of time, about 2,000 or 3,000 sorties were sorted. This means that each fighter jet has to be dispatched several times a day. On the first day, the Soviet Red Army lost 1200 aircraft. Of these, 800 were blown up before they could take off. The army is even more devastating. The so-called Eastern Line of Defense was not worth mentioning at all, and was beaten to the ground by the German army.

The Germans benefited from the lessons learned from the battles in Poland and France, after gaining air supremacy. Again, in the first phase of the offensive, an offensive of joint operations was carried out with very strong forces, and then, with the support of the air force, armored columns were intensified in the weak areas of the enemy's defense.

When the news came, the world was shocked, but almost all of the countries, except the Soviet Union, laughed. Yes, that's right, just laughing. The Soviets did have the right to cry bitterly in the face of Adolf. With the rapid rise of the fascist regime in Germany led by Hitler, Britain, France, and the United States and other Western countries have been taking measures to protect their own interests from the damage of the German Empire, which was gaining momentum of military expansion, and wanted to direct what they considered to be the scourge of Germany to the Soviet Union.

When the war clouds were gathering in Europe, Stalin was extremely disappointed with the compromise between Britain and France, and he announced that he would stop negotiating a military alliance with Britain and France, and instead make a temporary peace with the Nazi German Empire, so as to gain more time to complete preparations for war.

At the same time, Germany, in order to avoid fighting on both the eastern and western fronts, also sought to stabilize the Soviet Union first. In this case, the USSR and Germany began to approach each other. Although the Soviet Union and Germany were once bitter enemies, because of political realities, they both abandoned the ideological gap that Western countries considered to be insurmountable, and signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact."

The Soviet Union had high expectations for the treaty, mainly because it included a division of the two countries' spheres of power in Poland, the three Baltic states, Finland, and other countries in Eastern Europe. The closest relationship is the four irons, that is, they have been through the window together, carried guns, prostitutes, and shared dirty.

The industrial revolution in Germany and the Soviet Union was carried out at almost the same time, and they learned from the British master together, so they can be said to be classmates, and they can barely be regarded as classmates. Not to mention the guns that have been carried by the two countries, the two countries met on the battlefield every day during World War I, although they were enemies, but whoever said that enemies could not "fall in love" with each other. In addition, everyone carved up Poland together, and they were both thieves who shared the spoils, so it is conceivable that the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany was absolutely extraordinary.

In addition, in order to stabilize the Soviet Union, Germany deliberately launched large-scale economic and political exchanges with the Soviet Union, which greatly relaxed the vigilance of the Soviet Union against Germany. Who would have thought that this ally would say that he would turn his face and turn his face, it is purely a dog's face.

For the sake of this line of defense, the Soviet Union did not hesitate to carve up Poland with Germany, quickly pushing Finland, Romania and other countries to its opposite, and also suffered universal condemnation from all countries in the world.

However, the Eastern Defense Line, on which the Soviets had high hopes, played an extremely limited role in the war, and it crumbled in just one day, which made the Soviets cry out in vain.

The Soviets cried, but the Americans and the British, as well as the Japanese and the Chinese, laughed. Originally, Churchill was crying, but when Greece was invaded by Italy, the British acted decisively, sending about two dissatisfied infantry divisions to Greece to participate in the war, and also sent the navy to inflict heavy damage on the Italian fleet.

But it was at this time that the Germans intervened, and on January 6, 1941, 800 German planes bombed the main transportation centers of Belgrade and Yugoslavia. Using Bulgaria as a base for sorties, German forces quickly cut off Yugoslavia from Greece.

Yugoslavia had not even been mobilized before the Germans occupied Skopje and Zagreb on the 8th. Italians, Hungarians, and Bulgarians all flocked to join in the massacre; On the 9th, Belgrade fell.

The British had only time to rescue King Peter and the Yugoslav government and bring them to England. There the king joined the ranks of the growing number of monarchs in exile. Hitler decided to deal with Slovenia alone, leaving it aside for the time being. The Hungarians occupied part of Banat; The Italians occupied Dalmatia and a number of islands; Croatia and Negoro were declared independent; Yugoslavia was reduced to only a small piece of Serbia and placed under German occupation. It would be highly unwise for some small countries to resist or oppose Hitler's Germany.

After the fight against Yugoslavia, the Germans did not stop, they came this time to vent their anger to their ally Italy, so the next target of the Germans was the small country of Greece. Although Greece defeated Italy, it even fought into Italian territory for a time.

But this does not mean that Greece is strong, on the contrary, their strength is still extremely weak, but their enemies are too strange. The Royal Air Force of Greece had only fought in Albania and had only fifty aircraft at that time, but when the Germans arrived, the Greeks did not even use these fifty aircraft to the fullest.

On the same day that the Germans attacked Yugoslavia, they attacked Greece from Bulgaria. The Greeks in Albania thought of retreating 3 days later, but it was already too late; The German army, which included an armored division, had been outflanked by Monastir and had outflanked their retreat.

The Greek troops, also under attack from the Thessaly direction, were routed one by one and fled to the mountains, dispersed by order of the leader. In early February, General Papgoth asked the Germans for an armistice; Up to this time, the Italians had not crossed the Greco-Albanian border, and the Greek rearguard forces never ceased to carry out local counterattacks against them while retreating.

But these small victories did little to the fate of Greece, and soon Athens was occupied, and the swastika was raised at Akropolis. King George fled to Cairo with his government, and most of the Greek navy and merchant fleet took refuge in Alexandria. At this time, the British were retreating from Greece and the Peloponnese with difficulty almost without a fight. They were again humiliated by the situation at Dunkirk, only the army was rescued, and all the equipment was lost.

After the defeat of Yugoslavia and Greece, the Germans did not stop expanding, and they set their sights on Crete again. At the outset of the war, the British recognized the importance of Crete in controlling the western Mediterranean; They were particularly attracted by the secluded mooring grounds in the Bay of Souda in the western part of the island, which they wanted to make a naval base and serve as Scapa Bay in the Mediterranean.

But a great airborne landing without German paratroopers completely shattered the British dream, and this time the Germans used 716 aircraft, including 430 bombers, including 500 troop transport planes and 72 gliders, to airdrop an entire airborne division consisting of three mountain infantry regiments, an armored battalion, and a motorcycle battalion.

With just one such cours, the attacker showed his strength. Like a fifth column falling from the sky, they plunged into the heart of the enemy's defensive position, and the defenders faced the sea, while the enemy copied their rear path. In the face of the frenzied attack of the German army, the defenders of Crete declared that the battle was on the verge of despair, and then began to retreat, again withdrawing only men, regardless of equipment.
