Chapter 949: The German Army That's Everywhere
"Is this an unpredictable fate?" Meng Xiang couldn't help but feel a sense of strangeness when he saw the news that the German armored troops on the Eastern Front were defeated by Liang Zan.
"Where is there no Kursk, another Ryazan Waterloo appears?"
When she learned that the Germans were behind the attack on the 814 Chinese camp, Meng Xiang decided to make the Germans pay a little price.
After indirect attacks, the Germans also understood that they were in the wrong. Ribbentrop came to China in person to discuss other forms of compensation conditions, and liberated several of the latest technologies that Germany was developing for China in a row.
But this did not impress Meng Xiang's determination to hit the Germans at all.
Both the counterfeit companies and the second-hand weapons transactions in China are in a relatively slow state. The oil controlled by the two disposal bases in Libya and the Soviet Union have also reduced the supply.
Meng Xiang did not think that Germany was suddenly in a state of decline and was beaten up by the Allies.
As Germany strengthened its control of its occupied territory, the Germans who gradually integrated European industrial production capacity were able to make blood on their own. If it weren't for the lack of some resources, even the Germans could directly get rid of the counterfeit companies. In addition, the large number of second-hand weapons obtained from China had relieved the production pressure of the Germans.
As for oil, the Germans temporarily got rid of the most urgent period.
Although the Germans have not yet rushed through the Volga section near Stalingrad and have not yet crossed the Caucasus Mountains, oil wells and refineries near Grozny have begun to resume production, and oil production wells in the Meekenpu oil field have also been erected. Although the production is still limited, it is no longer possible to let German tanks fall into bed from time to time.
This is already a very good situation when Romanian oil fields are constantly being hit by Allied air strikes and production cuts.
But the Allies also saw this situation.
Since 42 years, Britain and the United States have lost at least 3,000 bombers to hit the Romanian oil fields through the gaps in the tight German air defense system. But when they were watching the victory, the Soviet-Russian oil fields occupied by the Germans on the Eastern Front produced oil again.
"Blast it! This is the key to our victory!" As long as there is fuel, German tanks will continue to open factories everywhere. Churchill immediately shouted to Stalin when he thought of tens of thousands of tiger and leopard tanks wandering on the European continent and completely ruining the British Empire's continental dream.
"Give me enough tanks, enough aircraft, and enough supplies, and I can blow it up, otherwise I won't talk!" Who knew Stalin yelled louder than him and was confident.
Over the years, although the Germans were exhausted, the Soviet Union itself was also injuring. After most factories were damaged in the war, the Soviet Union's military manufacturing had not recovered.
Even though the threat to China in the east has been reduced in the past two years, and with the support of Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union has built a large-scale military-industrial system between the Volga River and the Ural Mountains, Stalin understood that the enemy of the Soviet Union was not just the Germans. Don’t look at the fact that Britain and the United States are now squatting in the same trench with the Soviet Union, but as long as the Germans fall, the gun will immediately turn to the Soviet Union, which is seriously injured.
But facing the current crisis, Stalin could only resist the Germans while asking for supplies and weapons from the British and American lions, secretly accumulating wealth.
The Soviet Union, who paid a huge price of blood, was naturally upright.
After being tight, the Germans once asked Stalin to extend an olive branch. However, the gap between the negotiation conditions between the two sides was too big and it was finally left alone.
However, Stalin has always grasped the cannon fodder role of the United Kingdom and the United States against the United States. Once the Soviet Union loses its restraint, at least 60% of the German attack power will turn to the western front and completely destroy the resistance of the United Kingdom and the United States. Britain and the United States are grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and now they are both in a loss for the time being.
So every time I speak, Stalin's emphasis always overwhelms Churchill.
This time, it was no exception. Churchill's face felt as if he was constipated, and in the end he did not promise anything, he instead provoked Roosevelt.
At this time, only wealthy Americans could promise a large number of tanks and planes with one wave. When the British land was still ruins, the British Empire could only send out cocoa, bananas and cotton produced in the colonies.
Roosevelt did not bargain with the Soviets at all, so he directly sent a large number of tanks and materials for producing tanks to the Soviet Union, and there were thousands of fighter jets.
Of course, the fighter jets are P-39 air cobras, P-63 super cobras, P-40 warhawks, and other fighters that Americans don’t use. As for Hellcats, Pirates, Mustangs, etc., the Americans will not give it, and long-range bombers will not give it, only some medium-sized bombers such as B-25. The British also only gave it to hurricane fighters, and they will not give it to fire, especially the latest model, which at most gave it a super sea spitfire amid Stalin’s roar.
It also shows the defense of Britain and the United States towards the Soviet Union.
Not to mention the dispute over ideology, under the coverage of the spirit of internationalism, the Soviets were very skilled in using ideology and never paid any patent fees.
The Soviets were also very wise. They could take advantage of the saliva splashed under their beards. If they could not take advantage of it, they kept asking for some raw materials such as aluminum, copper, rubber, and some machine tools and equipment to produce them themselves.
Their new tank T-34/85 and Stalin tanks have been produced, with performance far exceeding that of the United States. Moreover, their fighter La 7 and Jacques-9 are no less than that of the British and American Spitfire and Mustang. All they lack is enough production capacity.
The war consumed the young and strong Soviet Union. Even women worked overtime and were still short of staff. The factory was destroyed and the machine tools were relatively scarce. Even after many resources in the East and the West fell into the hands of China and Germany, many of the originally rich resources were also scarce, not to mention resources like rubber that have always been scarce.
Since the Japanese were gradually squeezed out from Southeast Asia by China and Sakhalin Island was recovered by China, the oil exchange for rubber in the secret agreement between the Soviet Union and Russia and Japan has stopped.
The Soviets could only ask Britain and the United States for openness.
Although facing difficulties of one kind, the internationalist spirit that is not good at lasting passion is most suitable for sudden bursts. Even though the Germans, under the promotion of Meng Xiang, released the Tiger and Leopard series early and the subsequent models of various fighter jets, the Soviets at the critical moment of life and death also burst out the potential of the Russians, and pushed forward against the tit-for-tat and launched various weapons and equipment with similar performance in advance.
The goods supported by Britain and the United States are only suitable for the Soviets to select elites from cannon fodder because of their good anti-elastic performance and anti-cine crash performance. However, the new weapons of the Soviets are constantly popularizing, gradually narrowing the overall gap with German weapons.
With the support of British and American raw materials and machine tools, Stalin had the confidence. With his counterattack orders, various new Soviet equipment emerged and was tested on the battlefield.
The performance of the Jacques-9, which has become the main force of Soviet fighters, has been adjusted with the performance of German fighters, which is enough to fight against the early models such as the BF-109g model that appeared in the Germans early, as well as the FW-190a. Moreover, the Soviets have a better La7. More importantly, the number of fighters under the counterattack of the Soviets far exceeds that of the German Warhawks.
During this counterattack, the key targets of the Soviets' aerial attack were determined to be near the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea, and the oil wells and refineries erected there were to be destroyed.
German intelligence agencies also received such news.
Although Germany is still in turmoil, Lao Xi, who is still lying on the hospital bed, still realized the crisis and issued an order to dispatch air forces and air defense forces to protect the oil field.
It should be said that Lao Xi's decision was not wrong. However, when the Germans had already drawn some air forces to the Western Front to deal with it, it undoubtedly made the air defense forces in other places worse. After hitting the air counterattack of other Soviet fronts without any reduction, they could only defeat quickly when they were unable to get support from all sides.
When the Germans lost air cover on most of the fronts, they encountered a counterattack from the Soviet tank army in Ryazan.
Zhukov, who was commanding the battle, threw out more than 4,500 tanks in one go. The German army defending on the front line of Ryazan, including near Moscow, had more than 3,000 tanks, and many of them were newly received from China. Although they were renovated second-hand goods, their performance and quality were no worse than the new tanks made by Germany.
It's just that what determines the war is not just the performance of weapons.
The Soviets who invested 2 million troops in this direction vowed to retake Moscow turned quantitative change into qualitative change, and their strategic deployment played a role.
From the beginning, Stalin, who was very enthusiastic, formulated a strategy to attack from two lines.
With the support of Britain and the United States, they attacked the oil fields occupied by the Germans, but they set up army formations and attacked Moscow.
Although the air force along the way was not as good as that of bombing oil fields, the Luftwaffe near Moscow still failed to fight back.
Zhukov, who was keenly aware of the weak German air force, also increased his bombing power along the way. A group of Pe-2 light bombers were raging over the German positions where the air defense power was greatly reduced. Fortunately, he dropped the bomb on two large oil depots of the Germans, and fortunately ignited the well-protected oil depot and exploded.
This made it short of oil from the beginning that the German tanks on the front line of Ryazan were on the verge of oil.
