#1098 air force counterattack
July 5, Stalingrad.
Operation Uranus has completely ended, and the troops have gradually entered a state of rest after cleaning the battlefield.
Jiangdong participated in the grand celebration held by Lao Maozi the night before. This battle wiped out more than 1 million troops of the Third Reich and its servants.
It was the greatest victory since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.
At the celebration party, Zhukov, Chuikov, Vasilevsky and others were in high spirits. They seemed to have seen the day when fascism would be completely destroyed.
Because of Yakov's incident, the loving father was not in a high mood.
Jiangdong responded hastily with a few words and then left the venue. If he wanted to celebrate, he would celebrate with the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army.
Most of the captures captured by the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Western Expeditionary Army on the battlefield were piled on Stalinger.
All kinds of supplies and equipment are piled up like mountains, as far as the eye can see.
A few years ago, Zhang Shengqing, Fu Yisheng, Li Zhaoying and others would have been unable to move even if they saw this.
All the German weapons and equipment are all good stuff, many times better than the little devil's.
But in just a few years, the situation has been completely different.
The generals of the Western Expeditionary Army had no interest in the mountains of rifles, submachine guns, general machine guns, and mortars.
Everyone just lamented the large number of seizures.
Even some officers in the logistics department still have some headaches:
So much "junk" is really tricky.
Jiangdong didn't come here to see these ordinary equipment.
He led a group of senior generals through the mountains of equipment and came straight to some strange-looking anti-tank guns.
The equipment here is very different from the equipment in other places. In addition to being small in quantity, it is relatively rare.
Relevant experts from the Academy of Military Sciences are already evaluating the captured equipment.
"This is an infrared night vision device, and it is a bit crude." The person in charge of the Academy of Sciences explained to Jiang Dong and the generals:
"This is a vehicle-mounted infrared searchlight. We tested it and it can illuminate up to one kilometer away."
"There are also assault rifles and semi-automatic sniper rifles..."
Various new equipment of the German army were placed in front of Jiang Dong and the generals one by one, and everyone came forward to watch with great curiosity.
People from the Academy of Sciences said to Jiang Dong:
"The Third Reich's technological development is very fast. If this continues, they will catch up with us in another three to five years."
Um?
Jiangdong couldn't help but look at the researcher who was speaking.
'There seems to be something wrong with this sentence, but I can't explain it clearly.'
The gentle researcher was serious, and there was even some false worry on his face.
Seeing the Commander-in-Chief looking over, the researcher continued:
"They have mastered infrared technology. At first, they only put it on anti-tank guns. I think it won't be long before enemy tanks will also be equipped with infrared night vision devices."
"But please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, the Academy of Sciences already has more advanced infrared night vision technology."
"Research on infrared tracking and infrared detection has also made progress in stages."
"Maybe it won't be long before the troops can be equipped with small missiles that can be used to accurately attack tanks!"
Jiang Dong felt that this researcher's words were strange, and he always seemed to like to suppress his words first and then raise his voice.
But seeing that the other party was serious about what he said, it was hard for him to interrupt.
After viewing all the new equipment, a group of people returned to the headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army.
Walking into the headquarters, the intelligence chief handed over several photos that had just been cleaned.
After seeing the content in the photo, Jiang Dong's eyes narrowed instantly.
Wu Zhan directly cursed:
"These idiots are not trustworthy!"
"We have already agreed to the exchange, why are we still hurting our soldiers!"
The other generals quickly gathered together, and then there were angry curses in the headquarters.
The photo shows the scene where Goebbels shot the Allied pilots. Five of those shot were from China.
Air Force Commander Zhou Yingshan even felt that these five people looked very familiar, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
After scolding for a while, everyone gradually stopped and looked at Jiangdong in unison.
Jiang Dong was also very angry, but he suppressed these meaningless emotions very well.
"It's useless to scold. The top priority is to get those 30 soldiers back first to avoid further trouble!"
Zhou Yingshan had calmed down a bit and nodded quickly.
Just listen to Jiang Dong continue to say:
"The Hunter Brigade and the special forces of each army group will immediately infiltrate to the west after a day's rest."
"They can find our pilots earlier if they enter behind enemy lines one day earlier and avoid similar tragedies!"
The officers had calmed down. Wu Zhan took a step forward and said:
"Commander-in-chief, Lao Maozi also wants to send people to penetrate the rear with our special operations team. The staff has agreed to the other party's request."
Jiangdong did not object to this.
The purpose of the special forces' infiltration to the rear was very clear. Lao Maozi sent people to accompany him, and the people photographed must be people who were familiar with the local terrain, or even guides.
Although Lao Maozi definitely had other intentions in doing this, at least they would not hold back until the main enemy was defeated.
"Tell me about the situation of the enemy troops on both sides of the Dnieper River." Jiang Dong said.
The first person to speak was Air Force Commander Zhou Yingshan. He seemed to have guessed Jiangdong’s next plan and said seriously:
"In the last air raid, German storage bases in Minsk, Kiev and other places were burned to the ground."
"Reconnaissance shows that the enemy is transporting supplies from the rear to the front on a large scale."
The SkyEye high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft can take at least thousands of photos at a time. When the Third Reich did not know the performance of the SkyEye high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, all military and civilian facilities on the battlefield and behind the battlefield could not avoid the SkyEye.
With the assistance of the Sky Eye, the air force struck very accurately at the enemy's frontline military facilities.
This made the frontline officers of the Third Reich wonder if there was a traitor.
"The enemy's troops are in short supply and are building new fortifications on both sides of the Dnieper River." Zhou Yingshan said:
"The fortifications stretch for two to three hundred kilometers, and many local people are forced to work. It is not easy for us to carry out air strikes."
After Zhou Yingshan finished speaking, Wu Zhan also began to report the intelligence obtained by the general staff.
After hearing all the situation, Jiang Dong and the generals all began to think deeply.
After a long time Jiang Dong said:
"The infantry and armored forces continue to rest and recuperate, and the staff department is working hard to mobilize supplies from the country."
"Air Force fighters and bombers will attack continuously. I hope your bombing can achieve this effect:
The soldiers of the Third Reich had less than a base amount of ammunition, no toast, and even potatoes were a rarity."
"All tracks, half-tracks and wheeled vehicles are lying down due to lack of fuel!"
"With the traffic cut off from the rear, the new force cannot be replenished in time, and the wounded cannot be transported!"
"No enemy aircraft is allowed within the 800 kilometers of airspace from the front to the rear!"
Jiang Dong looked at Zhou Yingshan:
"Can the Air Force do it?"
Zhou Yingshan's heart was surging, but at the same time he was also worried, saying:
"As long as there is sufficient supply of ammunition and materials, the Air Force is guaranteed to complete its mission!"
Chief of Staff Wu Zhan blinked, took a deep breath and said:
"The staff department will try its best to coordinate and ensure the supply of ammunition for the Air Force!"
Jiangdong:
Chapter completed!
