Chapter 574

The Air Force Commander of the Woolly Bear Alliance, General Astakhov, and the political commissar, General Vorozheikin, were directly dismissed from their posts and were escorted by the internal affairs troops to Siberia to dig potatoes..

For them, this may be the best ending. It is much better than being shot directly.

However, the former chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zavoronkov, took advantage and was able to act as commander.

However, Lieutenant General Zavoronkov knew that he was just taking over a mess.

The current Furry Bear Alliance Air Force has suffered heavy losses and simply does not have the strength to confront the Third Reich Air Force anymore. Therefore, he suggested to Marshal Shaposhnikov, Chief of the General Staff of the Bear Alliance, that from now on the Air Force should preserve its strength and wait as long as possible until more Yak-Fighters are put into service, and Lago-3 and MiG-3 fighter jets are also put into service. After that, there was a decisive battle with the Third Reich Air Force.

Otherwise, once a large number of pilots are lost in battle, the Air Force of the Wooly Bear Alliance will only become weaker and weaker. By then, they will no longer have the capital to confront the Third Reich Air Force.

Marshal Shaposhnikov agreed with Lieutenant General Zavoronkov's plan and reported it to Joseph.

Joseph is also very clear that the Air Force of the Wooly Bear Alliance is now greatly weakened. Under such circumstances, if they continue to fight against the Third Reich Air Force, they will die. This will seriously affect future battles.

Therefore, Joseph also agreed to the Wooly Bear Alliance Air Force's plan to preserve its strength.

But this will be very detrimental to the huge ground forces of the Woolly Bear Alliance. This means that the ground troops of the Woolly Bear Alliance may not receive support from the air force for a long time to come, and they will face indiscriminate bombing by the Third Reich Air Force. I don’t know how many soldiers of the Bear Alliance Army will be killed by the Third Reich’s air force.

After the Third Reich Air Force gained air superiority, it began to launch fierce bombings against the Army of the Woolly Bear Alliance.

Medium bombers and dive bombers were destroying the Eastern Front of the Woolly Bear Alliance with aerial bombs. Even those fortresses with strong defenses cannot withstand heavy aerial bombs.

Under the fierce bombing of the Third Reich Air Force and the fierce artillery shelling, the Eastern Front of the Woolly Bear Alliance was being rapidly destroyed.

"boom! boom! boom!"

Violent explosions continued to ring out on the Eastern Front of the Wooly Bear Alliance. Large sections of defenses were destroyed in the explosions. Trenches were collapsed, firepower points were blown away, and anti-gun holes and air-raid shelters also collapsed.

The defense line The soldiers of the Woolly Bear Alliance stationed above suffered extremely heavy losses.

In order to destroy the Eastern Front, the fierce bombardment by the three army groups of the Third Reich lasted for a full day and a half, and the fierce bombardment did not stop until the afternoon of September 26.

The Third Reich's tens of thousands of heavy artillery fired as many as tens of millions.

It can be said that the defense line of the Furry Bear Alliance has been plowed repeatedly with artillery shells.

The entire Eastern Front is riddled with holes and has become dilapidated. The soldiers of the Woolly Bear Alliance on the defense line suffered extremely heavy losses.

"Your Excellency, Commander, our firepower is almost complete. Our artillery, supported by the air force, has destroyed the Eastern Front of the Woolly Bear Alliance. This line of defense has lost more than 90% of its functions."Marshal Manstein reported to Field Marshal Fedor von Bock

"very good! The Woolly Bear Alliance is too naive. They think that they can stop our attack with just one line of defense. This is simply a delusion. The defense lines in this era can no longer exert as much combat effectiveness as they did in the last world war."Marshal Fedor von Bock had a look of disdain.

If in the last world war, a solid defense line could still be used to withstand the enemy's attack, and even the enemy could be beaten to death on the solid defense line, his head would be bloody.. Then in this era, all this is no longer possible.

Powerful artillery and bombers can destroy these solid defense lines.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. It is always easier to destroy than to build."Marshal Manstein said.

"Are our troops ready? It was preceded by performances by the Air Force and Artillery. Then, it’s up to us. Our warriors will break into the Furry Bear Alliance's defenses, completely defeat them and kill them! asked Fedor von Bock

"Of course, Your Excellency Commander. All armies, infantry divisions and armored divisions are ready for battle. The soldiers were already anticipating an attack. Everyone is eager to win!"Marshal Manstein looked very confident.

"Very good, then immediately ask the Supreme Command for instructions to launch a ground attack!"Marshal Fedor von Bock ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"Marshal Manstein replied.

Not only Army Group Center requested a ground offensive from the High Command of the Third Reich, Army Group North and Army Group South also made requests.

After evaluation, the High Command of the Third Reich approved it. accepted their request.

However, Hess also told each army group.

The goal of the Third Reich's attack was to annihilate the three million elite troops deployed by the Woolly Bear Alliance on the Eastern Front. This was the key point. To kill Mao The effective force of the Bear Alliance.

Therefore, he did not want the frontline generals to focus on siege of the city. If these main forces of the Bear Alliance were let go, it would be troublesome.

Naturally, the frontline army groups of the Third Reich Said that he would respect Hess's order.

On the afternoon of September 6, the Empire's Central Army Group, Northern Army Group and Southern Army Group all launched an attack on the Eastern Front of the Woolly Bear Alliance.

12 Armored Divisions, on Hundreds of infantry divisions, on a defense line of more than a thousand kilometers, violently attacked the Eastern Front of the Woolly Bear Alliance.

Behind them, the artillery continued to fire, firing at the deep positions of the Woolly Bear Alliance Army to block the Woolly Bear Alliance. Alliance reinforcements.

In the sky, swarms of fighter planes pass by.

These fighters will continue to attack the Furry Bear Alliance's defense line and provide direct fire support for ground troops.

On the ground, one after another Leopard medium tanks, Wolf Type light tanks, Hyena-type infantry fighting vehicles and Hound- type armored personnel carriers, like a torrent of steel, rushed towards the defense line of the Bear Alliance.

More infantry, with their legs, charged towards the defense line of the Bear Alliance._See
