"We Aryans are the noblest race in the world, how can we lose to the Chinese." The person who said this must be a member of the Nazi Party.
"Gentlemen, do you still remember what happened in the Far East a few years ago? If not for our help, China would have been destroyed by the Japanese. It was precisely because of our assistance that the Chinese withstood the Japanese attack. , However, if they think that they can defeat our Third Reich with a little experience gained from fighting the Japanese, I would like to say, it is wishful thinking. The Chinese are not good at economy and war, and their missiles will definitely not work. Now, it is us. It’s time for them to recognize themselves.” Some people also made this kind of voice,
At this time, regardless of their political stance, the Germans do have pride. Therefore, even if some people feel that their country's rockets may really be inferior to China's missiles, due to the self-esteem of military personnel, they are never willing to show it. Moreover, most people have such a lucky idea in their minds. The reason why they were defeated by the Chinese before was not because their equipment and tactics were inferior to the opponent, but because of damn luck. "Luck cannot always favor the Chinese." With this thought in their minds, many people are even more looking forward to using a hearty victory to wash away the humiliation forced upon them by the Chinese.
The German rocket men are busy preparing to use the Soviet artillery force as the cornerstone of their reputation. The Soviet Russians are not unaware of this. The Soviet heavy industrial base was destroyed by the intensive German rocket attacks, so for Germany The Soviet military and political departments attach great importance to the rocket force from top to bottom, and have always regarded the collection of information on this unit as the top priority in intelligence work. However, it is precisely because of the extremely complete intelligence collection that the Soviet Russians realized that the V3 The shortcomings of rockets, so after dividing the artillery into several positions, the Soviets thought that even if the Germans used rockets to attack their artillery, it would not cause too much damage.
This is of course a wrong understanding. Well, when the German rocket cluster attack came as scheduled, it was too late for the Soviets to make adjustments. In fact, the accuracy of the V3 rockets did not improve due to the improvement of the German rocket soldiers' fighting will. The change was only because the Germans were willing to invest more than a thousand V3 rockets at once, so they still caused great damage to the Soviet artillery group.
In terms of cost alone, the cost of one V3 rocket is equivalent to three Russian 150 mm heavy artillery. And because the Germans fire an average of five rockets to destroy one Russian artillery, so the Germans use It is actually extremely uneconomical to attack the Soviet artillery with rockets. Of course, if the strategic value is taken into account, neither the Germans nor the Soviet Russians will think it is an uneconomical deal. The Germans have a big business now. Regardless of this loss, the Soviets are in dire straits. This bit of artillery may be the last bit in their hands.
Timoshenko was working hard and was preparing to launch a ground offensive after the artillery preparations were completed. However, bad news came from the artillery units in the rear. After he immediately issued an order to stop the artillery fire and move immediately, he looked towards The dedicated phone in front of me, I took a deep breath and picked it up resolutely.
Five minutes after the Soviet artillery was attacked by German rockets, Zhang Zizhong received relevant intelligence. Zhang Zizhong ordered the intelligence department to pay close attention to the frontline battle because he not only hoped to continue to consume the strength of the Soviet Russians through this decisive battle, but also had to guard against the Soviet Union. There was a collapse on the Russian side, because he knew very well that with the strength of the Far East Expeditionary Force, there was no chance of winning against the Germans alone, so although he was actually more prepared for the Soviet Russians, he also hoped that the Soviet Russians would be hit harder. It is good that he will never be able to stand up, but at the same time he must ensure that he can maintain his slight advantage over the Germans when the expeditionary force joins.
What Zhang Zizhong did actually went against the spirit of the Soviet-Russian battlefield strategy of the Supreme Command, but he insisted on doing it. Not to mention that the Supreme Command did not know about it, even if he knew about it, I believe no one would make irresponsible remarks, "Now our Our vision should not just be limited to this century war, but should take a longer-term view. The essence of war is of course destruction, but it may not be an opportunity for rebirth for our already ruined country." This is Ouyang Yun in a What was said at the high-level military meeting, coupled with the many things done by the coalition government and the Supreme Command during this period, are somewhat intended to lay the foundation for domination of Asia and even the world. Therefore, as long as they are not that kind of second-rate, then no one will Stand up and accuse Zhang Zizhong of damaging the Allied united front or Sino-Soviet friendship, etc.
The dedicated telephone line between Timoshenko and Zhang Zizhong was temporarily set up. The proposer was Timoshenko. The Soviets were not worried that Zhang Zizhong would add insult to injury at this time and be forced to accept the return of the Far East to China. After the fact, he believed that the Chinese government had to seek help from the Soviet Russian government if it wanted to fully accept the Far East. Therefore, he believed that the Chinese would not betray the alliance at this time even from this point of view.
Zhang Zizhong was paying attention to the latest information about the German Second Armored Group at this time. The dedicated phone rang. He put down the message in his hand and said to his left and right: "The Russians can't hold it anymore." The officer who was the translator picked up the phone and the other party immediately Timoshenko's rapid-fire voice sounded,
"Marshal Timoshenko said that their artillery positions were under rocket attack and hoped that we could dispatch missile troops to counterattack. He said that their artillery losses have now exceeded six regiments. If the losses exceed ten regiments, then he will We have to consider withdrawing the artillery to a safe area."
Zhang Zizhong did not answer immediately, but thought about it seriously and then said calmly: "Tell Marshal Timoshenko that we are willing to let the missile force carry out counterattack immediately, but ask their artillery to hold on a little longer, because we need Verify the location of the German rocket positions." Then he asked Deputy Chief of Staff Xue Taowan next to him: "Is what Timoshenko said true? Please verify it immediately."
Xue Taowan worked very efficiently. Ten minutes later, he reported: "The situation is true. A total of thirteen Soviet artillery positions were attacked by rockets, eight of which suffered heavy losses."
"Very good." Zhang Zizhong said: "Honest people should be rewarded. Answer Wang Chengyi's call immediately."
From the time Timoshenko called Zhang Zizhong to when Wang Chengyi's second artillery launched a counterattack against the German rocket forces, it only lasted about half an hour. However, in this half hour, the Soviet artillery lost more than a hundred more Artillery, so after receiving the report that the German rockets had finally stopped firing, Timoshenko's face did not improve at all, but became even more gloomy.
