"My troops encountered the main force of the Chinese Army on the southern front. China should be prepared for our actions in the south. Before we set off, they had already concentrated a considerable portion of their forces to intercept us. This force was at least division-level in size.

, has a large number of tanks and tank destroyers. My troops

Trying to break through their defense, but being unable to continue the attack after making the opponent pay a considerable price. It is like using a sharp blade to split the first part of a wooden stake and then getting stuck. We are confronting the opponent on the front line. Success or failure

In one fell swoop!" Huber said in a letter to Brauchitsch.

Most of what Hubei said in this telegram is correct. For example, if he encountered the main force of the Chinese Southern Front Army and the battle fell into a stalemate, (well, in other words, it was a dilemma and the attack had no power.

, wanted to retreat but was restrained by the opponent.) But the most critical point is that he used the opponent's rules

The model estimate was wrong! And this will have a major impact on the future battle situation. If it is one division, then Brauchitsch will continue to attack. If it is two divisions, Brauchitsch will consider the gains and losses. And if Brauchitsch

If he knows the true situation of the troops on the opposite side, he will immediately gather his troops, deploy and evacuate!

Brauchitsch still agrees with Hubei's judgment, so now the question arises, where did this army come from? Does China have more troops that can be mobilized? According to China's current situation

, it is still possible to deploy a division. After all, the southern front is originally a division and a brigade. When China realizes that it has bypassed the defense line and launched an attack, it will naturally return to the defense, plus some remaining troops in the rear, then a division can be made up.

It's really not a big problem.

"Hu Bei is indeed in trouble. If he rushed in smoothly, I would be surprised." Brauchitsch understood Hube's experience very well, and he firmly believed that the force Hube encountered was blocking the way.

He succeeded in the final strength. A Chinese division has 4 armored battalions and 6 mechanized infantry battalions. Hubei's strength is 2 reinforced armored battalions and 3 mechanized infantry battalions. It is normal for such a force to be blocked by the opponent, and

At least half of the opponent's troops were not used.

It is impossible to expect Hubei to achieve a breakthrough, but at least he has captured the opponent's main force. Brauchitsch's other two offensive forces have one armored battalion and two mechanized infantry battalions respectively. If he launches an attack,

If we attack from the center, it may still be more difficult. How about allocating some of the troops on the right wing used to defend the Chinese troops from flanking attacks? It has now concluded that the original positions on the southern front of China should have been cleared, so the nearly 8 battalions of troops deployed on the flanks

It becomes meaningless.

"Press them all up and crush them!" Brauchitsch made an absolutely desperate move. A total of 27 battalions of three German divisions were included in the attack sequence by Brauchitsch. He did not leave any trump cards in his hands!

While issuing the attack order, he also personally sent a telegram to the commander of the German Air Force on the southern front, hoping that the air force would do its best to support the battle. "The battle in the next two days will determine the entire southern front and even the entire southern front."

To the end of the entire campaign, whether you welcome the embrace of the goddess of victory or fall into the abyss of defeat depends largely on you and your imperial eagles!" In the telegram, Brauchitsch rarely lowered his stature. And the Air Force

Convenience quickly expressed that it would fully support it, so the Germans' Operation Monsoon entered the climax of the third wave of attacks. (The first wave was the strategic bombing of the Air Force, the second wave was the assault on the northern front, and the third wave was the assault on the southern front.

)

Planes flying in the air are always much faster than tanks running on the ground! When the German troops on both sides of Hube began to turn and launch a concentric assault, the German bomber groups had already accumulated in the air! Their target was the front of Hube

The enemy. The two sides were almost in a confrontation, and there was not much time to build positions. This wave of bombs

If it were thrown down, it would be enough for Xu Huaide! Fortunately, Qin Yue's promise was fulfilled. When the watchtower-type early warning aircraft appeared again in the sky above the Chinese army, it meant that the Chinese Air Force had regained the ability to carry out large-scale battles.

.The Chinese Middle East Air Force has recovered somewhat from the previous blow!

In order to cope with the German air force's attack southward, China had withdrawn up to 8 full squadrons at a time! 160 fighter jets of various types flew to the battlefield with the help of watchtowers and ground guidance! The Ishikatsu Falcon located at the frontline airport

Fighter and from behind

The Foxbat fighter jets taking off from Fang took turns cruising over the battlefield, always keeping 4 to 6 squadrons of fighter jets in the theater to call upon! Compared with China's long-planned aerial preparations, the Southern Air Force's attack was much more sloppy.

On the one hand, Germany

People did not expect that the Chinese Air Force would recover so quickly. On the other hand, because the attack targets were too scattered, they attacked one area this time instead of a point like an airport or a dedicated supply center. The entire fleet would have to attack hundreds of square meters.

Targets within kilometers. This greatly dispersed the fleet. Many German bomber units had to attack in squadrons, and the bf109 obviously could not cruise over the theater for a long time. The Germans could only separate the fighter units to perform accompanying escorts.

.

What's even more depressing is that when the Southern Theater Air Force Command had just expressed its full support for Brauchitsch, and then turned around and planned to request the headquarters to send FW190 fighter units to attack, it was flatly rejected by the latter!

According to the wishes of the top brass of the Air Force, just conduct a drill this time to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the new aircraft.

, if a few are really shot down, whether the aircraft or the pilot falls into the hands of the enemy, it will bring unpredictable consequences. After careful consideration, Richthofen believes that the success or failure of the German offensive on the southern front does not seem to be caused by the leakage of new aircraft.

The impact was so great that the air marshal personally ordered a ban on the dispatch of fw190 fighter units.

"Damn it, it's a Chinese fighter, it's a Foxbat!" A JU88 bomber that was preparing to dive suddenly forcibly recovered from the descent channel. The nose of the bomber carrying a heavy bomb jumped upwards, and the huge overload made the aircraft

The aircraft's fuselage made bursts of heart-wrenching sounds. All this came from the rear gunner's warning, which appeared from the clouds above.

This figure is something that almost all German bomber pilots don't want to see. And there is more than one, four Foxbat bombers in a formation like four human fingers swooping down from the side and behind! It has dropped to an altitude of 2800 meters.

The JU88 bomber is in a dilemma. On the one hand, it cannot climb. On the other hand, the altitude is too high and it cannot escape with the help of ground cover.

"Throw away all the bombs! Terminate the bombing mission. Let's run away!" The fighter jets that were covering them at this time did not know where they had gone. They stayed behind to form a box formation to face the thick-skinned and fleshy fox bats with brutal firepower.

The fighter is looking for death. "Perhaps the opponent will estimate our fighters and not dare to disperse too much?" However, the gap between ideal and reality is too big. The Foxbat fighter, which has top-notch low-altitude speed, has just been abandoned by most German bombers.

The bomb rushed up before it could turn around. The Sith

The roar of Panno's cannon instantly resounded through the sky. Three flaming snakes intertwined into a scythe of death and rushed towards a turning bomber. The powerful thin-cased bullets easily shattered one wing of the aircraft into pieces.

Tumbled and thrown down, but this was only

It was just the beginning. After leveling off, the Foxbat fighter bit a bomber that was accelerating away. He bravely used three machine guns and the 13mm machine gun at the rear of the ju88 to start shooting. (It seems.

It doesn’t take much courage.)

The shells fired alternately by the three machine guns formed a funnel-shaped death zone, covering the entire tail of the bomber. It was just a 10-second burst of fire. The dozens of shells fired destroyed the entire tail of the bomber together with the machine gun.

It was torn into pieces. The flames caused by the armor-piercing incendiary bombs spread along the tail to the front of the fuselage. "Don't worry about him, he can't come back!" Boynton looked at the bomber that was losing altitude and relaxed in the air.

The radio told the wingman who was preparing to replenish his gun.

"You're a solitary eater, you're doomed to be alone all your life!" The wingman's dissatisfied words came from the earphones, even followed by a national curse! However, Boyington turned a deaf ear to the wingman's complaints. Americans are still very kind.

Although there are not many remaining aircraft, as long as American pilots are willing to participate in the war, they can temporarily join the Chinese flying squadron. In this way

This makes up for the shortage of Chinese fighter pilots. Ace pilots like Boynton, who have flown more than 2,000 hours and fought in various battles for more than 50 years from the Italian War to the present, are naturally hot commodities, and the Bo

Inton came to the Chinese Air Force with only two requirements. The first was to give him a Foxbat fighter jet, and the second was to never be a wingman!

While the bombers were being killed in pieces, the German fighter force was also having a hard time. Originally, they could not defeat their opponents when fighting in groups, but it was even more difficult to destroy their opponents after they were dispersed! "These Foxbat aircraft are definitely out of this world.

Get on the most difficult aircraft to shoot down!" A German pilot dejectedly released the cannon button. Then he watched the Foxbat aircraft in front of him fly away from his eyes. He had been hit at least twice.

The two tails at the rear were full of bullet holes. But this guy couldn't be shot down. Even at the risk of hitting him, he got close to 300 meters and beat him hard, but it didn't work. When he flew past the opponent,

At that time, the hateful Chinese pilot even made an apology for himself! This was a naked mockery! For a moment, the German pilot really wanted to bump into the opponent and risk his life.

However, compared to the gap in aircraft performance, the Germans value battlefield perception more. The Chinese Air Force grasps the timing of their attacks very accurately. They usually enter the battlefield from the rear hemisphere or when the German fighter units are preparing to return. The German pilots obviously

It can be felt that the opponent's number of fighter jets is not very large, but the German's military advantage has not been transformed into an advantage on the battlefield.

However, the Luftwaffe still gained something, that is, they found that the targets they originally planned to hit only accounted for a relatively small part of their opponents. Many experienced German bomber pilots had an impression of the size of the enemy's force after performing a mission.

Doubtful. "It's hard for me to imagine that my target is just a supply point for a regiment-level combat unit. Looking down from the plane, you can see various vehicles densely packed like ants in the wilderness. I roughly estimated that at least

No less than about 500 vehicles! And they have quite a few

Anti-aircraft artillery provides cover, and its firepower density is no less than that of ordinary airports! Although I am in the Air Force, I also know that this level of anti-aircraft firepower can only be possessed by at least division-level units, and they are also equipped with anti-aircraft artillery radars. These things

Let the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery attack the aliens

Very accurate, 4 bombers in my squadron were shot down by these anti-aircraft guns, and 3 were damaged!" Rudel immediately reported the situation to his superiors after returning. But there was no turning back.

The Army has already moved on. How can the Air Force stop now?

The southern air force's already insufficient financial resources were quickly depleted, but even so, Brauchitsch still insisted on his belief in the assault plan, but he still had a hand, and he withdrew 5 battalions of troops from the troops transferred from the flanks.

As the general reserve team,

When the heavy artillery troops were in place, the final attack was launched. The largest armored offensive battle between China and Germany during the entire war finally kicked off. The total number of troops participating in the battle was about 6 divisions! And the tanks participating in the battle

The number exceeds 1500 vehicles!

The other two attacking troops drew a huge U-shape on the ground and rushed toward Hubei like sickles. The Germans moved very decisively and rushed forward like sharks that smelled the fishy smell.

The main German force behind Hubei finally caught up with their large amount of heavy equipment, k18

Waiting for long-range artillery of various calibers to be deployed in attack positions. The Germans moved quickly, but were not in a hurry to launch an attack. They began to form a huge ring-shaped encirclement network on the periphery. Reconnaissance troops and reconnaissance aircraft continued to attack China

The ground is deployed for reconnaissance, and everything is being prepared for tomorrow's decisive battle.

And Huaxia was not idle either. It made the last deployment adjustment that night. The tanks and wheeled combat vehicles that were originally located in the front were pulled to the back and replaced by combat artillery and anti-aircraft guns of various calibers and a small number of wheeled vehicles.

Tank destroyer. Armored troops are deployed behind the combat artillery support point, while high-speed light troops are deployed on both wings. This time the Germans have powerful armored spearheads and sufficient mid-range support firepower. In a head-on confrontation, the losses will be

The Germans have strengthened their frontal attack power to gain an advantage, while the Chinese are considering launching attacks from multiple directions to disperse the opponent's firepower. The former is to improve combat effectiveness from a technical level, while the latter is to improve it from a tactical level.

Combat power, history and people have made a big joke. Both sides learn from each other to improve their tactics. In the original battle, China was good at equipment technology, while the Germans were good at mobile tactics!
