During the offensive period of the Battle of Kursk, it was first dragged again and again, and became a forced offensive position stand rather than a blitzkrieg; then, at the most critical moment, several elite SS armored divisions on the southern front were transferred to deal with the Allies' landing in Italy, resulting in the loss of the last glimmer of hope for victory in the Fort Battle...

After the Battle of Kursk, the failure of the German army was more due to extreme disadvantages in the army and equipment. In a large number of times, it was demolished from the east and the west walls. Due to helplessness, it was no longer discussed one by one. It is undeniable that many wrong German combat decisions in World War II were the main reasons for the major losses of the German army. If the German combat command system could operate soundly and not be disturbed, the German army's achievements should be better.

Li Mo, the other defense forces, dared not guarantee, but Li Mo would definitely guarantee that the Southern Army Group he commanded would not be subject to Hitler's command over the top, and Li Mo would not be arrogant. Anyway, Li Mo's Southern Army Group is in this tradition, and even Li Mo is like this. He issued strategic tasks and sets targets to capture them. How to make an idea for the front-line commander?

Although the German weapons had excellent performance, their quality was not as good as the quantity after all, and they might eventually be submerged in the wolves tactics of the T34 tank. It is worth mentioning that Germany already had a strategic air force and strategic bomber with long-range large bomb loads, which could perform strategic bombing missions and destroy the raw materials production areas, production bases, and material centers in the rear of the Soviet army, thereby removing firewood from the bottom of the pot.

In history, the German army was still regarded as liberators in the early stages of the Soviet-German War. However, Hitler's racial policy determined that he could not win over the people in the occupied land, and the Slavs and Jews were seen as inferior nations that must be eliminated. The large-scale massacre of Jews, Soviet prisoners of war implemented by Nazi Germany; the order to execute Soviet political commissars; the anti-guerrilla measures that a German man wanted to make hundreds of Soviets pay their lives. These terrorist measures pushed the Soviets to their own hostile front, aroused the will of the Soviet people to resist, and created countless enemies for themselves.

Li Mo's academic report was to tell Hitler in a tactful way to tell Hitler not to use the historical policy of ethnic discrimination. This is undoubtedly a way to seek death. Li Mo prayed in his heart that Hitler's stubborn personality would listen to his opinions.

One of Germany's fatal weaknesses is the lack of strategic resources. After the defeat in the World War, it lost all overseas colonies. Most of the materials needed during the war depend on imports, such as Romanian oil and Norwegian iron ore. Now Germany can use almost all resources from Europe. But it is still not enough. For example, Germany itself also produces artificial rubber and artificial gasoline. Although the cost is huge, it cannot be done. Therefore, in the Soviet-German War, the plunder of strategic resources will be an important goal of the German army, and to some extent it will interfere with strategic decision-making. If the war continues for a long time, resources will be even short of them. The failure of the German army on the battlefield will lead to further loss of resource origin, thereby accelerating the decline of defeat??

Li Mo can formulate a series of strategic deployments and policies based on the situation he analyzed and implement them in the places he occupied so that the advantages of the German Southern Army Group will be more prominent.

At 5:30 am on April 20, 1940, the border between Germany and Suzhou was silent, and the stars in the sky were already hidden in the sky, and the light below the horizon shot into the sky, and when it reflected on the ground, there was a trace of light on the ground.

At this time, there was a lot of snoring in the Soviet barracks. Because the Soviet Union was northward, everyone got up late. On the German side, countless cannons had taken off their cannon suits and held huge guns high with huge guns. Countless German soldiers were lying on the wet ground and quietly carried them. The rear airport in Germany had already been busy. More than a dozen large airports and hundreds of field airports were all brightly lit, and all the planes were loaded and parked neatly on the runway. The pilots had boarded the plane, but they had not closed the cabin, and they were also waiting for orders.

This time, Germany's air strike on the Soviet Union was the first to launch because the Soviet Union did not have a radar system. Britain and the United States did, but these imperialists could not sell advanced weapons such as radar to the Soviet Union. In order to give the Soviet Air Force the most deadly blow, Hitler ordered all aircraft to take off at one time, and another 10% were used to guard the airport.

The Northern Army Group and the Central Army Group had a total of 5,600 aircraft, and the Southern Army Group had more than 2,100 aircraft. Germany used a total of more than 7,000 aircraft to attack the Soviet airports and railway hubs. It is necessary to destroy the Soviet air force as soon as possible. Germany dispatched more than 7,000 aircraft at one time. This is the first largest air strike in human history.

Kesseling's Air Force Command is located in the municipal government of Poland. The communication facilities are complete and various conditions are relatively good. Now it has long been converted into a standard Air Force Command, telecommunications room, logistics department, dispatching department, sand table interpretation team, staff office, etc. are all busy.

It was only late April, and the outdoor temperature was only about ten degrees. Looking at Keselin on the wall, he was still a little nervous. It was not that Keselin did not understand the importance of this strategic plan. It was because Keselin understood the importance of the "Barbarossa" plan that he was nervous. The success or failure of the Keselin Air Force's raid determines the success or failure of the "Barbarossa" plan. If Keselin's Air Force did not achieve major results, the Soviet army supported by the Air Force would definitely not be as easy to fight.

"Report, the first airport is ready."

"Report, the second airport is ready."

"Dangdang...dangdang..."

The clock hand of the Warsaw Air Force General Command pointed to 6 and began to ring the crisp bell. Kesselin held his hands and then gritted his teeth to pick up the microphone in front of him. Kesselin felt that the microphone seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"The whole person takes off and executes according to the established mission. I wish my soldiers a triumphant success."

"Bang bang bang...huh hu..."

Three red signal flares rose to the sky, and countless planes ready to go at the airport immediately turned the propeller. The roar of the engine was deafening, and the smoke emitted from the plane formed layers of black oil smoke over the airport, drifting out of the airport under the breeze.

Countless aircraft began to accelerate, getting faster and faster, and then soared into the air and pierced the blue sky. This time Germany prepared and built a lot of airports. A field airport arranged at most two brigades of aircraft, only eighty. Large airports were generally arranged with large aircraft such as bombers, but the number would not exceed three brigades. This is the overall dispatch of more than 7,000 aircraft. If the coordination is not good, extreme chaos is very likely.
