“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The artillery fire of the Russian army was extremely fierce, and shells rained down on the Germanic positions.
The explosions rang out continuously, bursting into the sky and filling the smoke.
The defensive lines of the 7th Army and the 9th Army under Army Group North of the Third Reich were under heavy shelling by the Russian Imperial Army. Although the Germans also carefully built defensive lines, under the fierce shelling of the Russian army at any cost, these defensive lines still could not be carried ah! In the explosion, the Germanic defense line is being destroyed little by little.
Especially those 210 mm heavy guns, extremely powerful.
Even fortifications made of reinforced concrete cannot be carried either.
In the sky, MiG-36 fighters of the Russian Imperial Air Force are suppressing the anti-aircraft positions of the Germans with cannons and aviation machine guns, creating favorable conditions for the attack of Tu-34 bombers.
Under the attack of these Tu-34 bombers, the fire points and forts on the Germanic lines were destroyed one after another.
On the sea, 11 capital ships of the Baltic Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy were fiercely firing at the German coastal defenses. However, most of the 11 capital ships are equipped with 280mm guns, and only a few are equipped with 305mm guns, 380mm guns and 410mm guns. But against land targets ~, it is undoubtedly enough.
One by one, large-caliber naval guns smashed fiercely on the Germanic coastal defense line, causing a violent explosion.
In the face of such fierce large-caliber naval guns, the Germanic coastal defense line was like paper paste, and huge craters were blown out one after another.
In the face of the fierce attack of the Russian Empire from the ground, air and sea, the 7th Army and the 9th Army of the Third Reich Army stationed in East Prussia suffered heavy losses and could not bear it at all.
The commander of the 7th Army and commander of the Third Reich in East Prussia, General Maximilian von Wickers, had to send a telegram to Berlin requesting reinforcements. Otherwise, I am afraid that they will soon be wiped out by the Russians.
When the mustache learned that East Prussia was besieged by the Russians, he was shocked and immediately summoned the army, navy and air forces of the Third Reich to discuss countermeasures.
“Your Excellency, the situation in East Prussia is now very critical, and the Russians have gathered nearly a million troops to launch a siege of East Prussia. Now they are attacking our defenses with artillery, aircraft and warships, intending to destroy our defenses and kill our living forces. The 7th Army and the 9th Army were in extreme danger. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Russians, huge losses have already been paid. The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal William Keitel, reported.
“Gentlemen, what should we do? How could the 7th and 9th armies be rescued and safe in East Prussia? Mustache asked.
“Your Excellency, the geographical location of East Prussia is very important from a strategic point of view. If we can hold East Prussia, we can directly threaten Petersburg, the second city of the Russian Empire, from here, and even to Mosk.
However, now East Prussia is almost completely surrounded by the Russians. If we want to rescue East Prussia, I am afraid that it will have to pay a great price. At present, this is probably very uneconomical. ”
The commander of the army, Marshal Brauchitsch, expressed his opinion.
The mustache shook his head: “East Prussia is the land of the entire Germanic Empire, and it plays an extremely important role for the empire. Therefore, the Reich could never lose East Prussia! ”
Marshal Brauchitsch opened his mouth and said nothing more.
He is well aware that now the mustache is getting more and more stubborn. Often what he decides, no one can change.
“On the side of the army, how many troops can be sent to reinforce East Prussia?” Mustache asked.
“Your Excellency, we can draw troops from Western Europe. From the current point of view, there is no problem in transferring two army groups. However, the Russian fleet had already blocked the coast of East Prussia. If we were to send reinforcements to East Prussia, we had to catch up with the Russian fleet. Marshal Brauchitsch said.
Mustache nodded and looked at the commander of the Navy, Marshal Raeder.
“Was the navy capable of driving the Russian fleet and connecting East Prussia with the mainland of the empire?” Mustache asked. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

“Your Excellency, the Baltic Fleet of the Russians is the weakest of the four fleets of the Russians. With the strength of the Imperial Navy, it is enough to crush them. However, we need to worry about the attack of the carrier-based aircraft of the Russians. Although, the Baltic Fleet of the Russians, there are no aircraft carriers. However, they were equipped with shore-based aviation. If the Russians send a large number of shore-based aviation troops to attack the Imperial Navy, I am afraid that we will pay huge losses. The commander of the navy, Marshal Raeder, reminded.
The mustache’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly, which was indeed a difficult problem for the Third Reich.
If the Third Reich Navy had suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Russians’ shore-based aviation, they would have undoubtedly suffered a great loss.
“Can the Air Force send fighters to escort the Navy?” Mustache asked.
The commander of the Air Force, Marshal Herman Gorin, was a little embarrassed.
The current Air Force of the Third Reich has been severely damaged by the Tsarist Imperial Air Force in air battles. Although, now they are still insisting on fighting the Russian Imperial Air Force. However, in order to preserve their strength, the size of their fleet has become smaller and smaller.
At least, until the Royal Air Force of the Empire and the Army Air Force of the Beacon State put new fighters into large-scale deployment and entered the European war, the Air Force of the Third Reich may not be able to confront the Tsarist Air Force.
“Your Excellency, East Prussia is more than four hundred kilometers from the nearest airport to the imperial mainland. This is already at the limit of the combat radius of the BF-109 fighter of the Imperial Air Force. Almost enough for the BF-109 fighter to fly back and forth, and it is simply impossible to fight.
Moreover, in order to avoid being intercepted by Russian air force fighters, the fighters of the Imperial Air Force also needed to fly over the Baltic Sea, which required a lot of detours. I’m afraid that after the fighters flew to East Prussia, there was no longer enough fuel to fly back. And the airfields in East Prussia have already been destroyed by the Russians! ”
The chief of staff of the Air Force, Marshal Albert Kesselring, looked embarrassed.
The mustache’s face was ugly: “Gentlemen, in any case, East Prussia is the land of the empire, and we must prevent the Russians from occupying it!” “。
