Ossa was set by Manstein as the battlefield for the decisive battle with the expeditionary force. Army Group A took root in Ossa. Immediately, with Ossa as the center, German garrisons and retinue troops from various countries around Ossa came in one after another. , on the Soviet battlefield at this time, in terms of military strength alone, Germany is a prehistoric monster. Not counting the German local army, the number of retinue troops from various countries alone exceeds five million. Ironically, among them, the Soviet Russian puppet army is There are more than two million or five million troops. Even if the weapons of these troops are only spitting, each one of them can drown the expeditionary force. Zhang Zizhong led the expeditionary force to follow, and as the reconnaissance plane returned to Vietnam, As more and more intelligence came in about how many German troops were gathering towards Asa, Zhang Zizhong realized that the Germans were preparing for a final decisive battle in Asa. The Soviet government was also aware of the German army's movements. Deep down in their hearts, the Soviet Russians might want to They are gloating about their misfortune. After all, the Chinese are now in the front, but the cruel realistic considerations make them dare not even think about it. The Soviet-German war has reached this point. After the Soviet government lost many military industrial bases, it still has aircraft tanks. Artillery and other strategic weapons are being used less and less, and the troops are becoming weaker and weaker. At this time, if the Chinese are driven away again, will Soviet Russia really be destroyed?
The situation on the battlefield in Soviet Russia has evolved to this point, which was beyond Stalin's expectations. The Chinese were dragged in, but the Germans did not slow down their attack. The Germans already had a solid advantage, and now they are putting on a desperate posture. , in his opinion, unless Ouyang Yun is willing to mobilize more than one million student soldiers to enter the Soviet Union, then the existence of the expeditionary force will only play a role in slowing down the advance of the German army. Originally, Stalin still had no intention of using the expeditionary force against China. With the extra Xiao Jiujiu, I can no longer imagine it. With his call, the Soviets finally began to fully cooperate with the expeditionary force's military operations. Zhang Zizhong was also able to grasp the latest German intelligence at the same time, and had full authority over the three Soviet Red Army divisions. The command authority was misled by the Soviets. Zhang Zizhong did not know that the desperate driving shown by the Germans was just a facade. The real trump cards were the V2 rockets and Type 4 and Type 5 tank destroyers. Therefore, although the latest weapons from the Supreme Command He was not afraid of the order, but considering the huge gap in strength between the two sides, he still prepared for the worst when making arrangements. Victory was completely unthinkable, but retreating without a fight was equally impossible. Since Marco Polo Bridge After the incident, Zhang Zizhong took life and death lightly, and when the overall situation between China and Japan was decided and Japan had become a grasshopper after the fall, he looked back on the past and suddenly realized that he had taken many wrong paths over the years. If Instead of worrying about personal gains and losses, if he had followed Ouyang Yun earlier, he would have achieved higher achievements now, at least reaching the heights of Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and even Chen Cheng. In that case, he would definitely be able to command more people now. The army can also make greater contributions to the country, but it seems that it is not too late. The land of more than one million square kilometers in the Far East was conquered by myself and the soldiers of the expeditionary force, right? For soldiers, is there any greater honor than opening up new territories? Victory seems to be a luxury, but if the Germans think they can easily defeat us with their numbers, I will give them a painful lesson they will never forget.
Both sides realized that a decisive battle was coming, and the air battle became the prelude.
The showdown between the Chinese and German air forces is actually a contest between the jet fighters of both sides. The slight difference is that the German air combat weapons are still cannons, but the expeditionary force has more missiles and rockets. Thanks to the efforts of military researchers, the Thunder air-to-air missile has been developed to the sixth generation, and the new Lightning has also been finalized. Compared with the Thunder, the Lightning is faster and has stronger guidance capabilities, so once it is used in Osa air combat, it will immediately gave the Germans a head-on blow,
On June 19, that is, the day when the leading troops of the French First Far East Army and the Second Far East Army of the French Restoration Army arrived in Ulegai, Mongolia Province in flying fortresses, the Chinese and German aviation forces exchanged fire again in the sky over Soviet Russia and Osa.
The process was the same as before. The Chinese Air Force still dispatched fighter planes to attack a German army that had gathered towards Osa, and then the German army took off fighter planes to meet the enemy. However, because of the name Erich Hartmann, this air battle was doomed. Leave your name in the history book of the meeting,
An hour before the battle started, at the Kirov Airport far away from Osa, Captain Erich Hartmann was joking with a few comrades around several brand-new fighter planes. Erich Hartmann, this is a command The Soviet pilot is famous for his perverted name. Hartmann, who is only 22 years old, has nothing special about his appearance. However, considering that he joined the front-line troops for less than a year, he has shot down as many as 287 enemy planes. , if you look at him again, you will think that he is a monster.
Isn't he just a monster? In the past time and space, Hartmann was an unsurpassable myth. In that time and space, although Germany was defeated, Hartmann became an unreplicable legend because he shot down a total of 352 enemy planes in his combat career.
Hartmann had just returned from Germany. In mid-January this year, because he had shot down 287 enemy planes and replaced his friend Baghorn as the number one ace pilot of the Luftwaffe, he was summoned by Hitler. And got a period of vacation. It was also because of this period of vacation that he missed the opportunity to compete with the young Chinese colleagues in the Chinese Far East Expeditionary Force.
Hartmann served in the 3rd Flying Group of the 52nd Fighter Wing of the German Air Force. Because the 3rd Flying Group provided air support to Army Group A for a long time, it became the first unit in the Luftwaffe series to compete with the Chinese Air Force. After returning to the army after half a year, Hartman's first feeling was that the atmosphere of the army had changed. This change was natural. Before, the experience of the 3rd Flying Group in the Soviet battlefield was from one victory to another. Although there were also They encountered fierce resistance from the Soviet Air Force, but in the end they ended in victory. Now, no, to be precise, after the Chinese Air Force entered Soviet Russia, the good luck of the Third Flying Group seemed to have ended here. We can't talk about defeat in every battle, but it has become a law that people will die in every battle. Like the army people, the German air force people also looked down on the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts at first. Then, they were slapped on the left and right by the Chinese air force people. He slapped her hard in the face until Army Group A was defeated in the Battle of Kungur and retreated to Osa. The morale of the 3rd Flying Group also dropped to the lowest point in history.
In the last three months of his stay in China, Hartman had been staying at the test ground and was busy testing the ME262B jet fighter, so he didn't know this. Now, he felt that the atmosphere in the army was not right, and he figured out the reason. He knew that he must first
What needs to be done is to inspire the fighting spirit of our comrades,
"The Chinese golden eagles are indeed good, but I bet that compared with our ME262, the golden eagles are just sparrows. Do you know sparrows? They always want to imitate the goshawk and fly high, but they will only find themselves in the sky when they really reach the sky.
It's so small, like this." Hartman said, raising his right little finger,
Returning to Kirov with Hartman were five ME262B jet fighters. These new fighters became Hartman's props to boost the morale of his comrades.
