"The total strength of the two sides in the battle exceeded 4 million, and nearly 8,000 tanks were dispatched." Jiangdong stood up and said:

"In addition, 3,000 combat aircraft of various types will be dispatched."

"Haha... we are not only witnessing history, we are also creating and changing history!"

The officers looked at each other, with expressions of excitement and shock on their faces, as well as some nervousness and apprehension.

Wu Zhan took over and said:

"The air duel has been going on for almost a week, and the results of the air combat are obvious."

"The Allied Air Force has gained air superiority in this airspace, and the Third Reich's air force does not dare to easily cross the Don River and penetrate deep into the vicinity of Volgograd."

"Our air force also destroyed a large number of enemy air defense early warning radars built in various frontline areas, blew up many roads and railways, and caused major problems in the logistics supply of the Third Reich army."

"The most obvious point is that the enemy's armored groups will not be able to obtain sufficient fuel supplies."

"Of course, they can't continue to plunder the oil fields in the North Caucasus!"

"The Allies have won the air battle, and then it depends on the ground troops."

The accompanying Air Force Commander-in-Chief Zhou Yingshan asked Jiangdong with bright eyes:

"Commander-in-chief, is the next step going to be to send super flying fortresses to bomb the industrial cities and capitals of the Third Reich?"

Xiao Jiang, Zhang Shengqing, Li Zhaoying and others also looked over at the same time.

The Third Reich still had strong industrial strength, and its homeland did not suffer major air strikes after the war began.

Military factories all over the country are still producing weapons and equipment continuously, and its military technology is also developing very rapidly.

If there were not sufficient resources of various types, the number of Tiger tanks might have exceeded 3,000.

Zhou Yingshan wanted to bomb the Third Reich like he bombed the Japanese mainland, destroying its industrial capabilities and accelerating the process of the war.

Jiang Dong nodded and shook his head and said to everyone:

"We are bound to bomb the Third Reich itself, but there is no rush on this matter. We can wait until the joint counterattack is over."

"Before that, the Air Force can send SkyEye high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft to explore various military facilities of the Third Reich and mark them. Especially the manufacturing plants of tanks and aircraft!"

Zhou Yingshan nodded slightly disappointedly.

Jiangdong asked:

"How many high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and how many H-6As do we have on the Eastern Front battlefield?"

"There are three Sky Eye high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and three squadrons of H-6A!"

Jiang Dong warned:

"We must do a good job of confidentiality and don't let others know the performance of these two aircraft easily!"

Lao Maozi's ability to imitate and recreate was also very strong, and Jiang Dong did not dare to take it lightly.

After discussing the logistics and material reserve issues for a while, Jiangdong stood up and asked the officers to return to their respective units.

On May 22, Jiang Dong and Wu Zhan came to the Supreme Command of the Red Army.

Here they met several front army commanders of Mao Xiong. These front armies will cooperate with the Chinese Western Expeditionary Army to recapture Volgograd and completely annihilate or severely damage the Third Reich's Army Group South.

At the meeting, Jiang Dong and Wu Zhan also received another news.

Great Britain has received missiles from China and conducted a strike across the English Channel the day before.

The missile transport fleet was always threatened by the submarines of the Third Reich, but most of the missiles successfully reached the island of Great Britain without any danger.

On May 21, missiles flew across the English Channel and struck the Third Reich's military facilities on the Atlantic coast.

This move shocked and angered Mustache, and he ordered the missile force to prepare for a counterattack.

Judging from the information obtained from Mao Xiong, the impact of the attack was quite good.

Zhukov even suggested that China could sell them a batch of missiles at a low price.

In front of a group of senior Bolshevik officers, Jiang Du did not refuse directly. Instead, he said that the missiles had high technical content and low production capacity. It was enough to supply Great Britain alone, and there was no surplus for the time being.

Everyone gave him meaningful looks and finally stopped worrying about this issue.

The meeting mainly discussed the attack directions of each group army and the cooperation issues between the two sides.

After friendly consultations and full exchanges, the two sides finally reached an agreement that the Chinese Western Expeditionary Army would be responsible for capturing Volgograd and destroying Paulus's 6th Army.

The Bolsheviks were mainly responsible for two sections of the German "7" defense line, namely the Don River side and the North Caucasus area.

The Volgograd region is a key point in this battle and will also be the bloodiest and most brutal battlefield.

Paulus' Sixth Army was the elite of Army Group South. They had to pay at least 800,000 men to retake the city.

During the defense, nearly 2 million Red Army soldiers died in this city.

Now that China's Western Expeditionary Army is blocking the front, it is naturally impossible for them to pay dozens or millions of casualties.

After all, in their view, the Bolsheviks had spent blood and tears in exchange for China's resources and the Western Expedition.

These driving services cannot be spent in vain, and China should also make corresponding sacrifices.

The most difficult battle will be fought by China's Western Expeditionary Army.

The condition proposed by Jiangdong was that after the victory of the battle, the Chinese company would be allowed to enter the North Caucasus and the Black Sea.

The other party agreed.

Zhukov and others believed that even though the Chinese army was well-equipped and well-equipped with land and air cooperation, it would still have to suffer at least 500,000 casualties if it wanted to capture Volgograd.

Therefore, in their opinion, this deal is a good deal.

Jiang Dong had a gloomy face, looking very embarrassed and sad.

It wasn't until he walked out of the conference room and got into a car produced by Huaxia that he snorted coldly and his expression turned relaxed.

"Old Maozi wants to force us to jump into the fire pit, haha... I can see how proud they are!" Wu Zhan said with a sneer.

"For them, Volgograd is indeed a pit of fire. For the Western Expeditionary Army, this is not necessarily the case..."

After May 22, the deployment of the campaign entered the final stage.

Mao Xiong's Don River Army, North Caucasus Front and Southern Front all entered their scheduled combat positions.

Even the naval fleet on the Black Sea was dispatched.

It is impossible for such a big movement to be hidden from the enemy's intelligence lines.

The Third Reich also began to actively respond, and the Eastern Front battlefield once again became tense and busy.

The battlefield is a whole. Once the first shot is fired, the north and the center cannot live in peace.

Therefore, the Eastern Front will re-enter the final sea of ​​​​the war.

The combined total strength of both the enemy and ourselves exceeds 10 million, and the number of civilians affected exceeds 50 million.
