Compared to the ferocious and angry look on his partner's face, Baron Richthofen, who had borrowed something from his distant brother who died young, obviously had a further perspective.
"What the head of state needs is loyalty, and Paulus is the one who does the best job among those who can offer loyalty to the head of state. The Wehrmacht is so big, but I guarantee that you will not find someone who can offer absolute loyalty and at the same time be better than
Paulus did a better job.”
Next to the airport runway, where there was only the sound of wind and the roar of propellers, there was no third person except Baron Richthofen and the chief of staff. All words spoken could only be heard by the two of them.
"The military must serve politics. My family already understood this when the title was awarded 350 years ago, and it was passed down to me by my father."
"Politics are changing, but what remains unchanged is the loyalty of soldiers. You understand what I mean, everything is for the head of state and the motherland, as well as the future of the entire German nation."
Baron Richthofen is not a person who talks a lot. He is usually taciturn and loves to talk less and do more. This is in line with the fact that he is very popular with girls. He is handsome and has great military exploits. He gives away a lot of autographs and is worthy of praise.
The Red Baron cousin is somewhat different and even completely opposite.
If the Chief of Staff remembers correctly that he said so many meaningful words in one breath like today, it should be the first time this year outside of a routine meeting.
"Do you think Paulus will succeed this time? The Fourth Air Force has almost met all his requirements. Those Russian planes were pinned to the ground by us at all costs and could not even take off.
What kind of results can we get after paying so much?"
The chief of staff's expression was thoughtful, while Baron Richthofen still had the same calm poker face.
"The Fourth Air Force has 54% of the combat strength of Marshal Göring. If Paulus still cannot win this battle, then we should probably start formulating an action plan for the next stage."
As the Chief of Staff, he had no idea that Berlin had issued the next phase of the battle plan requirements. The Chief of Staff, who looked slightly shocked, looked quite surprised that he was "ignored".
"When did this happen? Have we received orders for the next phase of operations?"
What the chief of staff did not expect was that the answer Baron Richthofen gave next was even more dramatic, even with a hint of prophecy.
"The scales have now reached the critical point of balance. As long as Paulus loses one more time, the weights drawn from his side will be placed on the Russians' tray by Athena, and the scales will appear irreversibly.
When the time comes, we should make plans to help the Sixth Army break through on the ground. This has nothing to do with whether the Russians believe in the existence of Athena."
Obviously, everything was limited to Baron Richthofen's personal speculation. In the end, it was just the chief of staff who misunderstood Baron Richthofen's hint and made a short-lived joke.
Except for Malashenko, no one in the world can conclude that Baron Richthofen's prediction will become a reality in the near future, and will even get worse than it, and will deteriorate to the point of being completely irreversible.
call out--
boom--
The huge bombardment that shook the earth and shook the mountains could almost lift the entire earth into the air and take off on the spot. The mushroom cloud that shot straight into the sky rose to a terrifying height of thirty meters with the scattered earth and rock debris. This bomb was extremely powerful.
The large super aerial bomb is even more powerful than the "big sweet potato" called by Malashenko.
The German-made 1.8-ton heavy aerial bombs, which were rarely dropped in previous battles, have become more common in this large-scale air raid. With a terrifying charge of 1,100 kilograms, it has become the well-deserved number one among the German Air Force.
A tool for demolishing buildings.
No matter how strong and tall the Russian building is, after a 1.8-ton super sweet potato is smashed down, it will only leave a mushroom cloud rising from the ground and masonry ruins and debris flying all over the sky, leaving nothing behind.
Any trace of the building's past.
The Junkers 88 front-line bombers, which are heavily invested in front-line bombing, can carry two of these super sweet potatoes into battle at a time as long as they ensure sufficient range.
Many Red Army soldiers garrisoned solid buildings that hindered the advance of the German ground troops were directly razed to the ground by this extremely powerful heavy aerial bomb. After updating the routine tactics, the defense and blocking battle in the northern heavy industrial zone became more difficult for the defending Red Army.
Even more difficult to deal with.
The entire command post was almost completely destroyed. Major General Joludev, who survived only to be hit by the rubble and whose face was covered in blood, spent a lot of effort to crawl out of the rubble without the help of others.
His identity is the commander of the 37th Guards Infantry Division.
Commander Ruolujev, who was wandering among the ruins, endured the intense pain from his injured body, constantly looking for soldiers and division personnel among the ruins who could be united to try to restore command and order.
There are only a few people who can respond to the call of Master Ruolujev. The faint groans buried deep in the ruins cannot be heard by the outside world. Master Ruolujev, who has never given up, is still trying his best to unite all the forces that can be united and try to gather together.
force.
About ten minutes later, I saw that almost everyone in front of me was injured, and even used the rifle as a crutch to support my body. Without the rifle, I would collapse on the ground without support. Talk about the thirty-plus commanders and soldiers. It felt like
With tears welling up in his eyes, Commander Ruolujiev still forced his will and issued the latest order.
"Comrades, the enemy has broken through our defense line and is moving closer to the group army headquarters! Follow me now to defend the group army headquarters. We must not let the enemy break through there! Our division has the honorary title of Guards and has
We must hold on to our defense!"
Division Commander Zoludev, who was back on the road with more than 30 disabled people, quickly arrived at the headquarters of the 62nd Army. What surprised him was that all the German troops who were supposed to besieging the headquarters of the Army suddenly disappeared mysteriously.
I didn't meet anyone along the way and had no idea where I was going.
With strong inner uneasiness, Division Commander Ruoludev, who originally planned to bring people to support the defense of the Army Headquarters but failed to do so, directly found Chuikov who was very busy and prepared to state the dangers of the situation to him face to face.
It was also recommended that they relocate quickly or strengthen their defenses.
