The Allied forces on the Western Front were also earnestly implementing the Baghdad Conference Agreement. On November 5, more than 1,500 bombers took off from more than a dozen airports in Great Britain, flew over the English Channel, the Strait of Dover and the North Sea, and began to attack the Third Reich and its

The occupying power carried out strategic bombing.

On this day, air defense warnings were issued continuously over major cities in Western Europe, and the Axis troops were trembling with fear as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Allied air forces bombed Brest, Le Havre, and Calais in Gaul; Brussels, Belgium; and Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Bombers even rushed into the Third Reich and bombed cities such as Hamburg and Hannover!

Aerial bombing targets all valuable military facilities, including industrial bases, transportation hubs, ports, docks, etc.

On the first day of strategic bombing, the Allies lost more than 120 bombers, destroyed six ports, two shipyards, and destroyed more than ten military factories.

Seriously affected and disrupted the industrial production and economic construction of the Third Reich.

The Allied forces on the Western Front implemented the Baghdad Conference Agreement, which made all the Allied Powers take action!

There was a scene of great unity within the Allied Powers.

In the coming months, strategic bombing will continue until the Third Reich, like Japan, loses its industrial production capacity.

The entire European continent was cast in the shadow of the Great War.

Kharkov, Headquarters of the Third Reich Army Group South.

Marshal Manstein and General Guderian were quickly browsing the intelligence issued by the Supreme Command regarding the Baghdad conference held by the Allies.

After many days of inquiring and the sacrifice of a large number of personnel, the Third Reich intelligence department finally obtained the minutes of the Baghdad meeting of the major Allied Powers.

The expressions of Manstein and Guderian became more and more solemn, and they both felt the tension of the coming storm.

There are many conflicts within the Allied Powers, but for now, internal conflicts will not break out easily. They will pour all their firepower into the Third Reich.

The conference room of the headquarters was quiet, except for the sound of Manstein and Guderian shuffling documents.

News that the Allied forces dispatched bomber groups to bomb major cities in Western Europe also spread to the Eastern Front. Combining this information with him, Manstein felt that Germany had reached its most dangerous moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the two of them put down the documents in their hands and remained silent for a long time.

The sound of the wind at night seemed more shrill and urgent, just like the mood of the two of them at this moment.

After a long time, Manstein seemed to be minding his own business and said:

"After learning about the high-level meeting of the Allies in Baghdad, the head of state immediately left Kiev and rushed to the base camp!"

"Before he left, he told Marshal Busch that he must defend Eastern Ukraine no matter what."

"No retreat is allowed without orders from the Supreme Command!"

Guderian did not answer and nodded silently.

The two gradually understood the painstaking efforts of the head of state.

It can be seen from the content of the Baghdad Conference that the Allies planned to advance simultaneously on both the east and west fronts to completely destroy the Third Reich.

If Eastern Ukraine is abandoned at this time, the Bolsheviks will take advantage of the situation and the empire will be under greater pressure.

In the eyes of all the soldiers and civilians of the Third Reich, the Bolsheviks were far more terrifying than those of Britain and the United States.

Presumably the head of state is also worried about this, and must not let the red spread to the great Germany.

After thinking about these things clearly, Manstein and Guderian felt deeply responsible.

"Army Group Center was enduring the stormy attacks of the Bolsheviks. Many troops did not even have supplies to keep out the cold. You can imagine how difficult the battle was!"

Manstein said:

"During this period of intense tension, the Air Force lost a large number of fighter aircraft."

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and the combat effectiveness of our soldiers continues to decline."

He glanced out the dark window and seemed to see the heavy snow falling all over the sky, and sighed:

"Our army must not follow in the footsteps of Napoleon."

Marshal Busch, the commander of Army Group Center of the Third Reich, was also worried. He requested supplies from Berlin over and over again, but what could be delivered to the front line was a drop in the bucket.

Judging from the situation in the past two years, the average winter temperature of the land under our feet will reach minus 20 degrees.

On some particularly cold nights, the temperature can even drop to minus 35 degrees.

Fighting in that kind of weather was unthinkable.

Marshal Busch believed that he had to either retreat or obtain sufficient supplies, otherwise the 2 million-strong army would be defeated by the blizzard.

The Bolsheviks believed that ice, snow and cold currents were the blood of their nation!

The Germans could not do this.

The 12th Army, which retreated from Orel, was deployed to the northern flank of Kharkov to support the Southern Army Group.

During this period, the Fourth Army commanded by Marshal Kluge suffered the greatest losses.

In addition, General Huth's Third Armored Army also lost a large number of tanks. These tanks were mainly lost in defensive counterattacks.

The main force of Army Group Center still exists, but Marshal Busch is still worried.

Because he knows that defeat is like a mountain, and victory and defeat only happen in an instant.

The orders of the head of state must be carried out, otherwise he, the commander of the army group, will be done.

Unable to transport supplies to the front line on a large scale through railways and roads, Marshal Busch could only find another way to turn the people in the occupied areas into coolies and force them to carry supplies.

Use manpower to transport food, clothing, guns and ammunition from the rear.

I just hope I can hold on for a little longer.

Paris, Army Group B headquarters.

On the day when the Allied forces carried out strategic bombing, the telephone and radio station at Rommel's headquarters rang non-stop, warnings were everywhere.

Especially the coastal defense forces in Calais and other places have entered the highest state of combat readiness, fearing that the Allies would launch a landing battle on this day.

After a tense day, as night fell, the air raid sirens gradually disappeared.

Rommel sat in the office slightly tired. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. He was about to call his wife to ask about the situation in Berlin and at home.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the half-read document on the table, and the hand reaching for the phone paused in mid-air.

In the end, he didn't pick up the phone and continued reading the document.

The contents of the document were similar to those seen by Manstein and Guderian, both of which were about the Allied Baghdad Conference.

After reading the document, Rommel felt his head hurt even more.

The strategic bombing we encountered today was part of the content of the meeting, and there will be more and more such things in the future.

Army Group B's days of leisure will be gone forever, and they will bear the same pressure as their colleagues in the Eastern Front Empire.

For some reason, Rommel suddenly thought of the group of people who planned to overthrow the Führer.

"If they know this information..."

Rommel said to himself, then shook his head,

"No, they must have received the news, and now I'm afraid they have decided to speed up the action."

Judging from the content of the Baghdad Conference, as long as the Allies work together, the Third Reich has no chance of winning, which is exactly in line with the requirements of that group of people.

Rommel already knew that the group of people who planned to overthrow the Führer was known as the Black Band.

The black band was anti-Nazi, and their goal was to preserve the German nation and resist communism.

Now that the Red Army is powerful, in order to prevent the Bolsheviks from entering the Third Reich, they should speed up their actions.

Without knowing the details of the members of the Black Band, Rommel only knew that one of them was Colonel Count Stauffenberg.

Count Stauffenberg's family is prominent, both his father's and mother's lines are nobles, and he once held important national positions.

Colonel Count Staufen is even more young and promising, with sharp eyes and quick thinking.

Rommel tapped his index finger lightly on the document in his hand. He had previously focused on remaining neutral, but after reading this document, this idea was shaken.

'Besides Colonel Count Stauffenberg, who else is in the black band?'

'Did the Führer and Himmler really know nothing about this matter, or was the matter itself a trap?'

'What effect will it have if I join in?'

"Ding ding ding......"

Just as I was lost in thought, the phone next to me suddenly rang.

Rommel was startled and the documents in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

The head of state will arrive in Paris at noon tomorrow to inspect the "Atlantic Barrier".

For some reason, Rommel suddenly felt guilty.
