The head of state convoy is usually parked in the underground garage of the Prime Minister's Office, and usually enters and exits through the dedicated passage on the west side of the Prime Minister's Office. In addition, next to the sidewalk on the sidewalk on the side of the Prime Minister's Office building, there is a hidden vehicle elevator, which looks like an ordinary floor when raised.

This elevator is usually used by trucks that transport supplies, and the food and supplies on the truck can be sent directly to the underground warehouse. Xu Jun rarely enters the underground garage. He only needs to issue orders, and the convoy will naturally wait in front of the agreed door.

The head of empire currently owns twenty high-end cars that belong to him. In addition to various Mercedes-Benz, he also has a Citroen, a Rover, a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Daimler DB18. Some of these cars are gifts given to him by foreign governments, and some are purchased by private money, and have been strengthened and modified.

Originally, Mercedes-Benz, in accordance with Hitler's requirements, replaced the head of state with a high-power supercharged engine, mine-proof armored chassis, and the windows were made of five centimeters thick bulletproof glass, and installed bulletproof steel plates on the inner layer of the door, finally creating the famous Mercedes-Benz 770k.

The new head of empire even proposed the concept of heavy protection, requiring all his cars to withstand the test of German light weapons attacks.

For safety reasons, Xu Jun did not like convertibles very much, but because of political propaganda needs, he had to take some risks. When operating in Berlin, such as rushing from the Prime Minister's Office to the Commander-in-Chief, he liked to ride a hard-top Mercedes-Benz 770k with a 30-mm-thick hardened armor plate on the roof, which could withstand the current strafing of most fighter jets.

Of course, some abnormal modifications cannot be included, such as the Stuka ju87g-type cannon bird that was born early.

At present, the German Air Force's research plan is full, and the senior Air Force leaders are convinced that dive bombers will definitely be eliminated by multi-purpose attack aircraft, so the German army stopped the development of the Stuka replacement aircraft model and shifted its focus to the research and development project of multi-purpose attack aircraft.

Xu Junke is not interested in making a German version of Il-2. After the German army strengthened the medium- and short-range air defense firepower, the myth of the Black Death God is no longer possible. The Stuka Cannon Bird is just an excessive version. Before the new attack aircraft is fully refitted, the German Stuka will probably need to stick to it for about a year.

However, with the current performance of Stuka, as long as the Luftwaffe firmly grasps the battlefield air supremacy, this dive bomber is an awesome threat to all Soviet ground forces.

The German Army Air Force has begun to equip new anti-tank cluster bombs, each bomb box containing forty to eighty butterfly bombs, which are small bombs called Demon's Eggs. It once showed its face in the Battle of Dunkirk in this time and space, which caused a considerable psychological shadow to the British and French army in the encirclement.

The German army is now equipped with its anti-tank version, equipped with a bronze cast-in-formed loading warhead, which can penetrate thirty-five millimeters of homogeneous steel armor.

The aircraft that drops this kind of bomb can be a single-shot dive bomber or a multiple-shot horizontal bomber. After the bomb box leaves the carrier, the cover is bounced at a preset height, and then the sub-bombs loaded inside are scattered in an area.

The specific area of ​​the scattered area depends on the height of the bullet box. This value floats within a space of 500 to 50 meters. There was no technical threshold at that time, and it only needed a simple air pressure altimeter.

After using gravity and centrifugal force to throw out the internal sub-bomb, the original bomb box is useless. Maybe it is lucky to kill one or two soldiers on the ground. The moment the Demon Egg left the bomb, the fuse safety was pulled open, and the wings folded around the bullet body pop out, and then the gravity dragged out the traction cable on the bullet body, and the warhead hung under the rotating bullet wing and began to fall steadily.

To put it simply, this thing is like a bamboo dragonfly. The opened wings rotate rapidly, effectively reducing the speed of the projectile falling, and at the same time creating a stable descending posture for the projectile, so that one side of the warhead is always facing the ground.

The attack direction of the forming charge warhead is vertically downward, which means it attacks the most fragile top of the tank armor. Because the bullet body does not rotate at high speed with the bullet wings, the metal jet can exert the best armor-piercing effect.

The Army Air Force conducted an experiment. If a medium-sized cluster bomb is well distributed, it can destroy all armored units in the area of ​​200 square meters. At the same time, the German army believed that with the current power of this ammunition, no Soviet tank could withstand this terrible weapon that fell from the sky.

However, this weapon also has its limitations. The Command believes that it is only suitable for combat in the German attack situation and is used to destroy armored clusters on the enemy's front. Because the technical content of this kind of bomb is not high, the Army Command is worried that if an unexploded sub-bomb falls into the hands of the enemy, this is a very common thing on the battlefield. The Soviet Union is likely to imitate it and then use it on the German own armored forces. The Command found that the German army has currently equipped no tank that can withstand the attack of such a small demon.

In offensive operations, the German army held the initiative on the battlefield. If used properly, it should be guaranteed that this secret weapon would not fall into the hands of the enemy.

So what other ways does the German army have to effectively curb the offensive momentum of the opponent's offensive troops while their own troops are retreating.

The answer is yes, that is, the newly developed aerial mine laying tactics by the German army.

This tactic, which only appeared during the Vietnam War, was actually nothing mysterious. To put it bluntly, it was to throw landmines from the air to the ground and quickly create a large open-air mine belt.

As we all know, the landmines in the concept are usually buried under the ground, which can be regarded as camouflage traps using explosions as a means of destruction. Relying on the enemy's fear of unknown threats, it effectively delays the enemy's actions.

The mine laying in the air was completely released on the open air, and the mines were exposed to the ground, which could be easily discovered by the enemy.

Everyone may wonder, the enemy is not an idiot or a blind man, how can anyone step on the landmines you can see? In fact, this is the effect that the air mine laying tactic wants to achieve. The purpose of this tactic is to delay and block the actions of enemy troops, or force the enemy to turn around, or reduce the enemy's movement speed.

At that time, the mine-sweeping technology was still very primitive, and it was usually mainly manual mine clearance. Even if the mines placed in the open air were large enough, as long as the number and density were large enough, if the enemy wanted to clear a passage that could be used for large troops to pass, it would have to consume a lot of manpower, material resources and time. Dense shelling may clear a minefield. The problem was that the ground plowed by artillery would also hinder the movement of the troops.

Of course, the simpler method is to bypass the mine-branch zone, so that the purpose of the mine-branching side can also be achieved. If the commander operates properly, the enemy can even be forced into the ambush circle on his own.

The German army is currently developing a set of rocket mine laying equipment according to the head of state's drawings. At that time, rockets can be used to quickly deploy a large minefield. The specific dispersion principle is similar to the cluster bombs above.

This minefield has another outstanding advantage, that is, after the battle is over, the mines will be easier to remove and will not cause harm to your own troops.

In addition, on the winter battlefield on the Eastern Front, the mines thrown in the air will be buried by snow, which can quickly create a mine defense line at the front of the position. If a timed self-destruction device is installed on these mines, even the subsequent mine clearance will be avoided.

The German army can time the mines to self-destruct after one day or one week. During this period, it can ensure that the front line is closed. After the scheduled time, the mines can self-destruct after the German army can attack the enemy through the former minefield.

"Willer, think about it again, what else can I forget?" Xu Jun put the air mine-burning exercise report sent by the Army Command into the document box.

"Everything is ready, my head, Marshal Brauchch has issued a notice." Weirle nodded and replied.

The head of empire stood up from behind the desk and pulled the hem of his uniform.

"How much time will it take on the road?" Xu Jun opened the drawer of his desk, took out his gun from it, and then skillfully took off the magazine.

"If it goes well, it won't take more than twenty hours." Weirler handed the briefcase to Colonel Kirsten.

"I think you should think carefully, my head of state." Kirsten persuaded.

"Don't worry, Colonel Kirsten, I'll be back the day after tomorrow at most." After Xu Jun put the magazine back on and closed the insurance, he inserted his pistol into the cowhide holster.

"Eric, is the guard ready?"

"It has been assembled, my head of state." Diesenhaufen handed the military cap to Xu Jun.

"Okay, let's go now." The head of empire put on his military cap, picked up the marshal's stick on the table, and threw a stick flower in a casual manner.

ps: Thank you for your support, the author will continue to work hard.

The jet lag finally turned around, but now I don’t have much free time, so it may be better in a while.

Next week I will try to squeeze out time to write more and strive to pay off the debts from last month.
Chapter completed!
