"Werner, you will take a squadron of Ju288 tonight to Moscow."

After receiving the order from Guderian, commander of the 6th Air Force of the Luftwaffe, Yeshunnek, immediately called Lieutenant Colonel Werner Baumbach, the commander of the 2nd Long-range Bombardment Regiment to his headquarters in the Courland Peninsula.

As early as the 1920s, when Germany had not yet escaped from the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles, the Courland Peninsula was an important base of the Luftwaffe Air Force, which was in a "underground state" at that time. The secret military academies of the Luftwaffe and the experimental center of the FK-BF aircraft manufacturing complex were all located on the Courland Peninsula near Riga.

After joining the German Empire in the Polo Republic, the Courland Peninsula was built as an important stronghold of the Luftwaffe/Naval Aviation Corps on the Eastern Front. Not only did several large division-level airports be built, but underground ammunition depots and underground oil depots specially used by the Air Force/Naval Aviation Corps were also built, and the Air Force/Naval Aviation Joint Command Center was built.

After the outbreak of the World War, the Luftwaffe Air Defense Forces also deployed radar stations and a large number of air defense towers on the Courland Peninsula, turning the Courland Peninsula into the most solid nest of the Luftwaffe/Naval Aviation Corps on the Eastern Front.

Therefore, after the tension on the Eastern Front, the headquarters of the 6th Air Force Air Force and a large number of aviation regiments mobilized from the Western Front entered the Kurland Peninsula. The 2nd Long-range Bombing Aviation Regiment, which had 85 Ju288 long-range bombers and 40 He-219 high-altitude fighters, retreated from the Western Front battlefield in mid-May 1942 and deployed to the Tarsi base with the most tight defense on the Kurland Peninsula. The Ju288, with a maximum range of 6,000 kilometers, took off from here, and the combat radius (the combat radius is generally one-third to forty percent of the maximum range) can cover the Ural Mountains and northwest Kazakhstan!

Unfortunately, the ju288 is not a four-round heavy bomber like the B-29. Although the range is not inferior to the B-29, its maximum bomb load is only 3.6 tons (if you want to fly so far to the Ural Mountains, the bomb load will be reduced to 1.8 tons), and the number of equipment is not large, which is not enough to carry out the strategic bombing mission of destroying the Soviet Union from the air.

However, it is very ideal to use Ju288 to perform restraining bombing missions. To prevent the destruction of two regiments of Ju288 (the 4th Air Force also has one regiment), the Soviets needed to deploy at least 2,000 MiG-5s that were strengthened by high altitude and night wars, and also to deploy a large number of radar stations and 130mm heavy anti-aircraft artillery.

Because ju288 is a difficult opponent to defend against, it is a bit like the enhanced British mosquito model, which has faster speed, higher flights, and a larger range. Moreover, the destructive power of remote-controlled gliding bombs is not comparable to throwing bombs at high altitudes, so the Soviet Union had to deal with it with it with all its strength.

"General, what good things should we bring to Stalin?" asked Lieutenant Colonel Werner Baumbach.

"Ordinary bombs and flyers," said Yeshunnek, "because it was a night attack, remote gliding bombs were difficult to use. In addition, the Army Policy Association also prepared hundreds of thousands of flyers to reveal the nature of Stalin's traitors."

"Is Stalin a traitor?" Werner Baumbach was stunned, "Who did he betray?"

"It is said that he betrayed Marxism-Leninism and the world revolution..." Yeshunnek shook his head, "It's right that he is not a good person anyway."

"Army Policy..." Werner Baumbach smiled bitterly, "What are these guys thinking? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! Do they expect the Russians to believe our propaganda?"

"Probably?" Yeshunnek shrugged, "Werner, it's not our business. Let's just throw paper bullets. Even if no Russians believe it, it's good to disgust Stalin."

Yeshunnek did not believe in the national socialist attack on the heart of the attack on the heart of the country discussed by Hessman and Natalie. However, he was a soldier, and the soldiers had to obey orders, so there were more than one city to throw paper bullets tonight. Leningrad, Minsk, Kharkov and Kiev had to throw them, and they had to throw them on the heads of the Soviet Red Army soldiers who were marching west... Of course, bombs and paper bullets were thrown together!

The same thing was done by the Soviet Air Force during the day on June 1. Their SB bombers dropped countless leaflets in Warsaw, Krakow and Lublin, saying that the world revolution had begun. The good news that the Soviet Union was preparing to liberate Poland told every Polish working people in these cities, calling on them to launch an armed uprising and overthrow the rule of the German Nazis. However, these paper bombs will definitely not have any effect in Warsaw City, because the citizens of Warsaw will soon go to Western Europe to be refugees. The Western European people certainly welcomed them with open arms!

"Friends, the Russians have occupied half of our motherland and massacred hundreds of thousands of our brothers and sisters. Now they still want to deceive us..."

Warsaw Railway Station was so lively tonight, and the tweeters kept playing the speeches of the leaders of the Polish Solidarity Trade Union Party. Countless Warsaw civilians, most of them are elderly people or women and children, carry luggage in their backs, shed tears while she was under the command of the Umodarity Trade Union Party cadres and soldiers of the Polish SS Division, the operation to evacuate the million-person train to Western Europe is still continuing, and it is expected to be completed around June 10.

At the same time, trains from the West also brought trucks of German officers and soldiers! These officers and soldiers were all affiliated with the 6th Army of the German Wehrmacht. The current task of the army is to defend against Warsaw, so it is also a pure infantry army.

The troops directly under the 6th Army Command include the 168th Infantry Division, the 29th Polish Volunteer Division of the SS (there are 2 Polish Divisions of the SS, and the other is the 20th Polish Volunteer Cavalry Division, which is now directly under the Central Army Group), the 9th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Division and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Smoke Launcher Regiment (Rocket Launcher), the 49th, 101,733 Heavy Artillery Battalion, and the 6th, 41st Light Engineer Battalion.

The troops under the army include the 17th Army (including the 50th, 62th, and 298th Infantry Division), the 29th Army (including the 44th and 289th Infantry Divisions), the 44th Army (including the 9th, 57th, 262nd, and 297th Infantry Divisions) and the 55th Army (including the 75th and 111th Infantry Divisions).

There are 13 infantry divisions, 1 anti-aircraft artillery division and 1 smoke launcher regiment (rocket launcher regiment), with a force of about 240,000. It is not powerful, and there is not much mechanized equipment, but it is enough to defend the strong city of Warsaw.

Of course, it was not the unlucky Paulus who commanded this army. Paulus is still hospitalized in Brest. General Moder, who was sent by Marshal Guderian to serve as the commander of the 6th Army, was a classmate of the military academy. During the interwar period, he served in the General Staff system for a long time. He had a good relationship with Hessman, so his official career was better than in history.

Model now has an army rank of armored soldiers, but he has no armored soldiers to command him. Instead, he has become the commander of the infantry army. However, his long-term experience in armored troops can be used in anti-armor combat.

"Walter, can you really defend Warsaw?"

Marshal Longdested, the commander of the Central Army Group, also took a train from Bosen's headquarters to Warsaw to inspect the city defense. After seeing the situation in the city defense of Warsaw, Marshal Longdested seemed very worried.

Because Warsaw has almost no fortifications! Apart from the "Warsaw Forest" area, there are no fortifications left by the Pisusky era outside the city.

"You can stick to it for a while," Moder replied, "It's about 2-3 months."

"Can you stay for so long?" Marshal Longdested didn't believe it, "You don't even have peripheral fortifications!"

"I don't need fortifications," Moder spread his hands. "Marson, I only have 13 infantry divisions. The periphery of Warsaw is more than 60 kilometers, and the 13th Division is scattered on a defense line of more than 60 kilometers. Each division is responsible for 5 kilometers of defense, and the troops are definitely not enough."

"Then how do you guard it?"

Model walked to a model of a city sand table in the middle of his headquarters war room, and then pointed to the model of Warsaw City, which was full of buildings.

"Marson, isn't this a fortress? There are tall buildings everywhere, and a Vistula River, which is more than 200 meters wide, passes through the city."

"Troubleshooting?"

"Yes," said Model, "this is the best way. Tanks are relatively vulnerable in cities. In the Western Front, many tanks were destroyed in cities. And at that time, the British and French did not have the Iron Fist anti-tank grenade launcher. The Iron Fist had a range of only 30 meters, and at this distance it could destroy any known frontal armor of the tank. Is there any place that is more suitable for this weapon than the streets of Warsaw?"

Model paused and said, "And we not only have iron fists and anti-tank guns, but we also have No. 3 assault guns. Each division has a battalion of No. 3, and No. 3 assault guns are enough to deal with the Soviet tanks."
