The battle in the air was mixed, and the air strikes on the Kirkuk Oilfield and the Huzistan Oilfield were a huge success!

Although the price paid was also very huge, at least 300 aircraft participating in the air strikes did not return, with a loss rate of nearly one-third. However, the main ones shot down were the US B-17 bombers, and the Soviet Pé-8 and MiG-5 suffered little losses, which obviously had withstood the test.

However, the Red Air Force suffered heavy losses in the sky of Poland, Polo and Western Ukraine. On just one day on June 1, the air force under the jurisdiction of the three Western Fronts lost thousands of aircraft! Although it also destroyed thousands of aircraft at the German airport in Poland and shot down 200-300 German aircraft, the Red Air Force was still at a disadvantage in the exchange ratio of crew members.

Therefore, Stalin had already issued instructions in the early morning of June 2, requiring the air force commanders of the three western fronts to attack carefully and avoid excessive losses.

What made Stalin most dissatisfied with was the harassing air strikes of German high-altitude high-speed bombers!

Last night, major Soviet cities including Moscow, Leningrad, Kharkov, Minsk all reported air strikes. In addition to throwing bombs, the Germans also lost many "paper bombs" that accused Stalin of betraying the revolution. It was a ridiculous tactic... I don't know who thought it out? After the world revolution was victorious, we must investigate thoroughly! We must seize the culprit and send it to Siberia for labor reform for the rest of our lives!

"Woo...woo..."

Just as Stalin was thinking about arresting someone for labor reform, the sound of the air defense alarm suddenly sounded!

The German bombers actually came to Moscow in broad daylight to throw bombs and flyers.

...

"Biavestok and Lublin both have to abandon the defense as planned. The Soviet Red Army will occupy Biavistok today, and Lublin will be occupied by the Soviet army tomorrow. At the latest day after tomorrow, the Soviet army will face the city of Warsaw!"

"The day after tomorrow? June 5th? Didn't it mean that it can be delayed until the 7th or 8th?"

"No, the Russians used rocket launchers to cooperate with tanks, and the cavalry could not stop them." Marshal Kesselin, who had not slept all night, shook his head, "Those Russians are smarter than we thought. We didn't expect that this method... rocket launchers can be used like this."

As expected, the rocket launcher was better used by the Russians! Hessman said in his heart that the Germans had too many self-propelled artillery and assault guns, so in history, he did not want to turn the rocket launcher into a mobile, but instead turned it into a towing type. As a result, he always ran too slowly and was easily attacked by artillery counterattacks, and he could not enter the battle as quickly as the Russians' car-mounted rocket launcher.

However, in the era when Hessman was the chief of staff, this problem had been solved. Now German rocket launchers (also known as smoke launchers) are all self-propelled. However, they are not installed on tracked vehicles, but are installed on low-cost trucks, called SWR40 self-propelled rocket launchers (or self-propelled smoke launchers).

And it is not a 6-barrel 150. Although its power is still not as powerful as the 16-unit 132 of the Soviet Union (the Soviets were installed on I-shaped rails), it can also cope with fierce battles. So Hessman did not necessarily require the following engineering and technical personnel to "copy" the Soviet designs - in fact, it is impossible to copy. Hessman only knows the concept of "rails", and he does not have specific design drawings.

"Isn't it just a lot of rocket launchers?" Hessman smiled. "We have them too. Warsaw and Lviv have three regiments, the Central Army Group has four regiments directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Army Group, and the Northern and Southern Army Groups also have 10 regiments each. There are 30 regiments on the entire eastern front and 1,620 rocket launchers, which is not less than the Soviet Union."

"But we cannot use rocket launchers as self-propelled artillery now." Kesselin shook his head and said, "because our artillery is much smaller than that of the Soviets, we can only rely on the concentrated use of rocket launchers for firefighting."

While the two were talking, the office door was pushed open by a lieutenant of Keseling, who handed over to Keseling a report on the battle situation. Keseling took a look and frowned slightly.

"The Soviets began to attack the Trespol ring fortress, and also used large-caliber 203 howitzers!"

...

"Boom!"

It's really a shaking earth!

Even hiding in the underground bunker of the Trespol ring fortress, Major General Carol Rommel felt like he would be blown into pieces by Soviet cannons in the next second.

Although he was also an old rival to the Soviet people, he fought with the Soviet army twice in 1920 and 1939. However, it was the first time that he was bombarded at close range by more than 100 b4 howitzers!

The Soviets' method of fighting the tough battle was indeed extremely cruel, completely beyond his expectations. They actually fired a giant 203 caliber cannon and installed a crawler tractor, turning this cannon into a "semi-propelled cannon", which had a certain degree of maneuverability, so they could move to the front closer to the Trespol ring for precise shooting.

What's even more crazy is that the Soviets actually mobilized 30 B-4 artillery companies at once to siege the Trespol ring fortress.

In addition, the five artillery regiments (2 military ranks and 3 divisions) belonging to the 4th Soviet Infantry Army, more than 200 cannons of various caliber belonging to the 4th Soviet Infantry Army, now they smashed shells on the positions of officers and soldiers of the Trespol Fortress brigade as if they were not worth it, which meant to blow up the Trespol Fortress.

The Poles guarding this ring fortress are now real cannon fodder!

"For the liberation of all mankind!"

"Ula!"

"For the world revolution!"

"Ula!"

"For the victory of the cause of gcism!"

"Ula!"

"For the leader Stalin!"

"Ula!"

"Comrades! Follow me!"

"Ula!Ula!Ula!"

Lieutenant Solzhenitsyn, who was carrying a platoon of soldiers to pull shells for the B-4 howitzers on the front line, heard the cheering sounds of everyone. He turned his head and looked and found that on a large field of wheat that had been flattened on the roadside, there were at least 2,000 Red Army soldiers ready to go cheering. A young soldier who might have been the political commissar of the regiment had just finished his political mobilization. At this time, he waved his hand hard and pointed to more than a dozen T-34 tanks that had already been formed not far ahead.

Bombing with deadly cannons, and then tanks guide infantry charges, this is the standard tactic of the Soviet Red Army!

The kind of fighting style in which political workers use machine guns to force infantry to die is usually used when there is no way. Now the machine gun supervision team is not the highly morale Red Army, but the Poles trembling in the anti-aircraft shelter. If it were not for the few noble officers and the non-commissioned officers who participated in the Polish Solidarity Trade Union Party, the Trespol Fortress fell in the first wave of charge by the Soviet army at 10 a.m. this morning.

But how long can the Poles last like this? Solzhenitsyn shook his head in confusion. Why do these Poles fight to the death to resist liberation? Don’t they want to live happily like a Soviet?
