“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
On the border between the Third Reich and the Russian Empire, the troops of the Third Reich Army gathered a large number of artillery pieces and opened heavy fire on the defensive lines of the Russian Imperial Army.
A door of 105mm light howitzers, 150mm heavy howitzers, are firing fiercely.
Dense shells rained down on the lines of the Imperial Russian Army.
On a front of more than 800 kilometers, more than 20 armies of the Third Reich Army used tens of thousands of heavy artillery pieces to open fire fiercely.
They attempted to destroy the defenses of the Tsarist Army with artillery fire before the armored forces and infantry attacked, killing the sound forces of the Tsarist Army on a large scale and preparing for the next attack of the ground forces.
According to the scheduled plan, when the artillery of the Third Reich Army began to shell, the Third Reich Air Force would also send a large number of fighters to fiercely bomb and strafe the defense line of the Tsarist Imperial Army, and destroy the defense line of the Tsarist Russian Imperial Army with powerful air firepower.
However, soon the generals of the Third Reich Army discovered that the Air Force fighters did not join the attack, which immediately dumbfounded them. You know, without the assistance of the Air Force, it is undoubtedly difficult to destroy the defense line of the Tsarist Imperial Russian Army by relying on the artillery of the army alone.
Over the years, the Imperial Russian Army has been building defensive lines. On the defensive line, there are quite a few permanent fire points. There are even dark bunkers made of reinforced concrete and so on.
“What are those guys in the Air Force up to? And what about the massive bombing they promised? The commander of Army Group Center, Marshal Fedor von Bock, was very annoyed.
“Your Excellency Marshal, it seems that the Air Force side is not going well.” General Ernst von Buto, chief of staff of Army Group, said.
“Hmph! Drop the chain at the critical moment. Order our artillery, intensify the shelling, destroy the Russian lines with artillery. Without the support of the Air Force, we must also win this battle~! Field Marshal Fedor von Bock ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!” Admiral Ernst von Bu replied.
The artillery fire of the Third Reich Army was very fierce.
The fire and smoke almost completely covered the defense line of the Tsarist Imperial Army.
A large number of trenches, barbed wire and buried minefields were destroyed. Other fire points were also destroyed.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Tsarist Imperial Army, at the moment of the attack, had already taken refuge in anti-gun shelters and bomb shelters in advance. Therefore, although the defense line was seriously damaged. But in reality, none of them lost much.
And the artillery of the Tsarist Imperial Army has also been silent and did not engage in artillery battles with the artillery of the Third Reich Army.
The troops assembled by the Tsarist Imperial Army on the front line were inferior to the Germans in terms of strength.
For example, on the western battlefield of the Bolan Plain, the 8th Army, 18th Army and 28th Army of the Tsarist Imperial Army totaled only more than 600,000 people. Even if the main forces are deployed on the first line of defense, it is only 500,000 people at most. They had to face five or six times as many Germans.
The 9th, 19th and 29th armies deployed in Bohemia and the kingdoms of Audili were less stressed. After all, the 7 armies of the Audili Kingdom have also been mobilized and can be used for war. At the same time, the 7 armies of the Kingdom of Hungary served as reserves, ready to reinforce the front line.
In contrast, Army Group South, which was responsible for attacking in this direction, totaled only ten armies.
Even if the combat effectiveness of the Audili Kingdom Army and the Hungarian Kingdom Army is relatively poor. However, there was no big problem in assisting the three armies of the Tsarist Imperial Army to withstand the attack of the Third Reich Army.
The real pressure is relatively large, or the western part of the Bolan Plain. And this area is the place of decisive battle with the Third Reich and even with the entire anti-Russian alliance that Tsar Mikhail demarcated.
In the face of the large number of artillery of the Third Reich Army, the artillery of the 8th Army, 18th Army and 28th Army of the Tsarist Imperial Army, if they engaged in artillery battles with the artillery of the Third Reich Army, I am afraid that they would not take advantage of anything at all, and they would soon lose everything.
Instead of this, it is better to hide first, and when the ground forces of the Third Reich Army attack, they will open fire at full strength, causing huge casualties to the ground forces of the Third Reich Army. That might be more useful. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
At the time when the artillery of the Third Reich Army fiercely shelled the defense lines of the Tsarist Imperial Army, the Third Reich, Palin, the base camp.
The mustache was furious, and the commander of the Air Force, Marshal Herman Gorin, the director of the Air Force, Marshal Elhald Milch, and Marshal Albert Kesselring of the Air Force, were scolded a bloody head.
“‘Bastard! How did you do it? Why was there no air force capable of destroying the Russians, as expected? Seizure of air supremacy? Support for the offensive of the army? Don’t you guys know that this will seriously restrict the advance of the army’s armored forces? If we can’t quickly crush the Russians, we can’t quickly inflict heavy damage on the Russians. Well, it will be difficult for us to defeat the Russians.
The Russians are overpopulated, and they are mobilizing frantically. Soon, millions, if not tens of millions, of Russians will join the army. This will make it impossible for us to defeat them!
Once the Russians gather forces to launch a large-scale counterattack against us, how can we possibly resist?
When the time comes, we will lose the war. Our empire will be destroyed by the Russians. Our dreams will also be completely shattered! (Nolee’s)
The mustache was very annoyed, because the air force failed to complete the set goal, failed to inflict heavy damage on the Russian air force, and failed to seize air supremacy. This gave him a sense of fear that the development of the battle situation was beyond his control.
Marshal Hermangorin, Marshal Elhaldmirch and Marshal Albert Kesselring were also very helpless.
The Air Force of the Third Reich has done its best. However, the resistance of the Russians was too tenacious. In other words, the strength of the Russian air force completely exceeded their expectations. Plus their raid did not work, turned into a strong attack. So much so that they are still in the midst of a bloody war with the Russians. Even though it has paid a huge price, it has still not been able to seize air supremacy.
And this has undoubtedly had a great impact on the entire Barbarossa plan.
No wonder the mustache is so angry.
