BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1115: It's all bad news (ask for a monthly ticket)
As soon as the war started, the German army used its powerful air force to carry out a large-scale bombing of the airports in western Russia, destroying almost all the airports in western Russia. A large number of fighter planes were blown up on the airport before they could take off. Of course, even if the planes of the Russian Air Force take off, they may not be able to cause much damage to the Luftwaffe. But at least it can make the Luftwaffe pay a greater price.
After this battle, the Russian Air Force can be said to have suffered heavy losses. Although the Russian Air Force still has a large number of aircraft deployed in other areas, the strong combat effectiveness of the German Air Force has already frightened them. Before finding a way to deal with the Luftwaffe, the generals of the Russian Air Force did not want their pilots to die in vain.
Next, the onslaught of the German Army tore through the Russian defense line in a very short period of time. Although the Russian army\'s defense line was not strong in the first place, everyone was secretly shocked by the German army\'s powerful assault capabilities. In particular, the armored forces of the German army performed very well in the war. This is undoubtedly a place worth learning for other countries.
Of course, for Buer, these are undoubtedly bad news.
General Staff of the Russian Army, General Shaposhnikov is in a state of desperation. After the war began, the German attack was much more violent than they expected. The Russian positions on the front line were constantly being breached, and almost every hour, some troops would be defeated and suffer heavy losses. General Shaposhnikov is keenly aware that the current situation may be very unfavorable to them. If it is not done well, the entire defense line will collapse.
"Come on, go and invite Marshal Voroshilov." General Shaposhnikov ordered.
Marshal Voroshilov, as the People\'s Commissar of National Defense, Joseph\'s confidant, must let him know about these critical situations on the front line. At the same time, everyone has to work together to find a way to solve the current problems.
Marshal Voroshilov soon arrived at the General Staff.
"Comrade Shaposhnikov, has something happened on the front line?" Marshal Voroshilov asked.
"Comrade Voroshilov, the war has broken out for three days. However, the four front armies on our front line have not only suffered heavy losses, but are also facing a great crisis. If not, all four front armies will lose Yes!" said General Shaposhnikov.
Marshal Voroshilov\'s complexion suddenly became very ugly. You must know that the four front armies deployed by the Russian army on the front line can be said to have gathered all the elite troops of the Russian army. Once they lose, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Russian army. Although, as the mobilization unfolds, the strength of the Russian army is rapidly rising. However, this does not mean that those troops will be able to enter the battlefield. They still need to train, they have to wait for equipment and so on.
"The attack power of the Germans far exceeded our expectations!" Marshal Voroshilov sighed.
"Yes, Comrade Marshal." General Shaposhnikov nodded deeply.
"How long can the various frontline armies last?" Marshal Voroshilov asked.
"The Northwest Front is trying to abandon the outer line of defense and stick to Ulyanovgrad. If it is well prepared, it should be able to persist for a long time under the German attack."
"Well, Comrade Kuznetsov\'s strategy is correct. The Germans are powerful. If you send troops outside Ulyanovgrad to fight the Germans, you are looking for death. Only rely on the city Only by defense can it be possible to resist the German attack. In addition, it can also cause greater casualties to the Germans." Marshal Voroshilov said.
The combat effectiveness of German soldiers is obviously higher than that of Russian soldiers. If it is a field battle, the German army will easily win. However, in street fighting, even if the German army is more powerful, the Russian army has many advantages, such as being more familiar with the terrain and so on. This will allow them to further shorten the gap between the two sides, and then cause greater casualties to the German army.
"The situation of the Western Front and the Southwest Front is very bad. The Germans have invested as many as two million troops in these two directions! Moreover, almost all of them are elite troops. Comrades Timoshenko and Comrades Kirporos are probably very It\'s hard to resist." Shaposhnikov looked worried.
"The two most powerful armored armies of the Germans were devoted to these two offensive directions. The gap between our tanks and the German tanks is too great." Marshal Voroshilov sighed.
The results of the battle between the 3rd Russian Tank Army and the 8th Panzer Army of the German Army are already known to the upper echelons of the Russian Army. They also had a clear understanding of the powerful Tiger and Leopard tanks of the German army. That is, relying on the existing Russian tanks, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the German tanks. For this reason, the top Russian army has issued a death order, and the T-34 tank must be put into service as soon as possible.
Of course, even if the T-34 tank is in service, it is very difficult to say whether it can withstand the German Tiger and Leopard tank. But Russia has no other way to do this.
"The most dangerous thing is the southern army led by Marshal Budyonny. They have penetrated deep into Ukraine. Now it seems that all this is a trap. The Germans have assembled three armies, and there are also Ukrainians. The three armies will launch a siege to Marshal Budyonny. I very much doubt whether the Southern Front can withstand the siege of the Germans. At least, judging from the current situation, it will be very difficult." Shaposhniko Husband continued.
"No, the Southern Front must retreat. Otherwise, as long as the Germans cut off their retreat, they will be finished!" Marshal Voroshilov said.
