The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

I can't bear it anymore, I don't need to bear it anymore.This sentence can't be more appropriate to describe Hitler's mood.

For safety's sake, he hid in Tibet, and unless necessary, he never wandered around in public easily, and had to change places frequently when he slept, staying in the oppressed wolf's lair without seeing the sun, is it easy?

not easy!But no one understands this hard work, and even Zhu Bin threw the missile on his head so openly, even if he didn't really blow him up, but the shocking consequences have directly penetrated Hitler's bottom line!Running to the door and slapping her in the face severely, this is absolutely unbearable!

It was also a coincidence that the nuclear power plant was destroyed on one side, and the wolf den was hit by missiles. On the other side, on the Soviet-German battlefield, there was another pattern.After integrating the main forces of various countries, especially the long-range bombers, heavy bombs, air-to-ground missiles and mass-produced V2 rockets from the United Kingdom and the United States, Hitler had no worries, and his full support for the frontline battlefield was unprecedented. Within a month, the number of supplies and ammunition airdropped to the war zone increased dozens of times, and the number of bombs dropped on Moscow and Stalingrad was unprecedented!

The most critical shortcoming is the performance and quantity of German fighters, which are professional fighters including the p51 series and p61 series from the United States with high speed, thick armor, long range and large ammunition load, and a1 attack aircraft. After the low-altitude fighting big killer was filled, and the number exploded, it severely overwhelmed the Maozi who had been counting on the superiority in numbers, thus completely controlling the air!

After the air strike density was tripled, Zhukov's carefully deployed anti-aircraft weapon array was not so effective.With the continuous investment of super heavy bombs such as "goblets", hundreds of holes the size of basketball courts and radial damage the size of football fields have been blown out of a good historical ancient city. It's full of holes, look down from a high altitude.Those who didn't know thought it was the surface of the moon!

In particular, after mastering the ideas provided by the previous Chinese observation team, instead of the previous aimless bombing, a few relatively narrow and specific attack lines were selected, and a large number of radio beacons were deployed at low altitude by rough-skinned and thick-skinned attack aircraft. At the point of landing, they forcibly opened up several wide attack channels from the dense urban buildings!

That is a huge passageway enough for heavy tanks to pass through side by side!Even big pits one after another will inevitably affect the progress of heavy tanks.But don't forget, the Germans don't expect those cumbersome guys to take the lead, they just need them to stop on the edge of the big pit, use their thick cannons to provide direct fire support, and the main force is tens of thousands wearing body armor The heavy infantry of the army continued to pour in like a tide, advancing in multiple lines, and drove straight in when the air force was firmly suppressing the opponent's artillery.Rush into town!

The more than one million desperate Soviet army held on to the line of defense for a full year and a half, and suddenly collapsed!

Zhukov had to shrink his defense many times in a row, concentrating his troops again and again, struggling desperately along every street and every building, but it was still in vain. Finally, when winter came, under the snow and the cold wind, In the middle of the battle, he gave up his position helplessly!

This is an unprecedented tragic offensive and defensive battle in human history!

In order to seize this capital representing a powerful empire.Germany successively invested 240 million troops and paid nearly 70 casualties.More than 30 people died directly, which can be described as a heavy loss!

Mao Zi paid a higher price!Not to mention the cities that were blown into ruins, just the troops, they filled in about 350 million people, directly killed more than one million people, and captured more than one million people.The wounded and missing cannot be counted!

As for the civilians who rushed to the battlefield in the war and were killed, there were at least a million or so, it can be said.It has almost exhausted one-third of the vitality of the mighty Russia, and the loss is too great to count!

The most important thing is that the blow to the morale of the people has reached an unprecedented height. Zhukov's consecutive failures have severely damaged his self-confidence, and also made the crazy Stalin's patience with him reach the limit. Not only did he order to withdraw For all his duties, he even wanted to try and shoot him!

But Maozi still did not surrender!They still gathered millions of troops, defended Stalingrad, and built a huge retreat along the Volga River-Kazan-Kirov-Petrozavosk line, backed by the industrial core Ural In the mountainous area, grit your teeth and hold on!

Stalin's persistence was not without cost.No matter how cruel the previous war was, the population and troops under his control are still huge, and the key military production is still going on. The most important thing is that at the moment when the front line is about to be decided, the British and Americans quietly Through the Caspian Sea, there was a large number of key military support that he could not buy with money before!

Its quantity is extremely huge!It includes not only the technology of fighter jets, bombers, especially heavy bombers, but also a large number of scientists who are unwilling to serve the Germans and Chinese, factory owners in the military industry, and even a large number of high-precision machine tools that were secretly transported from the two countries and secretly transferred. Production equipment!

These things are of no use to countries with no foundation, but for Maozi, whose industrial scale is second only to the United States and Germany, and once rushed to the world's second super-system industrial body, it should not be too easy to digest!They only need to translate the drawings in English, and they can directly manufacture according to them!Of course, the consistently rough manufacturing style will inevitably make some of the equipment that needs finishing processing inevitably have various problems.

But these small problems are nothing in the fierce battle.The survival life of an aircraft will not exceed 200 hours, so there is no need for precision work.

The important cannon is what Mao Zi is best at. The reliable high-power diesel engine has already bought the technology from the Americans; now there are only samples of the missing reference, and I am full of anger and plan to take advantage of the winter to launch a Jedi Stalin, who fought back, saw hope!

So there are no strong relationships in the world at all.

Seeing that Germany was about to become great and unbalanced, Britain, France and the United States immediately sold Hitler out. The ruthless methods and decisive strikes had to be written a word of convincing.

Hitler also lived up to expectations. On the day when he captured Moscow, he delivered a eloquent and shocking speech to the whole country, and at the same time announced a mobilization order to fight against the cunning, despicable and shameless Chinese with righteous indignation!

this day.Hitler waited too long!

Without his excessive words, [-]% of the Germans who have fallen into frantic cheers expressed their absolute support!Afterwards, the multinational naval forces that had been training together for half a year finally completed the final deployment, mobilized more than [-]% of the main force, and marched into the North Atlantic in a mighty manner!

December 1942.No worse than last year's severe cold once again swept the north of the earth.The area above 12 degrees north latitude is completely covered with snow, and the global temperature has dropped by more than ten degrees than before. In Siberia and Northern Europe, there are even ultra-low temperatures of minus 30 degrees!

On the sea surface at about 40 degrees north latitude, a mighty group of warships dispersed into three huge clusters, in the shape of an inverted triangle, each advancing separately at a distance of about 39 nautical miles.in the middle.It is led by the two newly launched super battleships H40 Hindenburg and H[-] Ludendorff, with Bismarck and Tirpitz as deputy, two Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers, and two Essex-class ships. The aircraft carrier is the main unit of the maritime aviation force, plus three heavy cruisers, two assault ships, and a bunch of destroyers escorting a huge combat column.

German Admiral Lukins served as the commander of the Central Attack Fleet.Complacently control the most powerful navy in German history, and drive forward aggressively.Head straight to the southern waters of North America where the Chinese ocean-going fleet is located.

In broad daylight, the cold wind blows the sea as if it is about to freeze, and the violent climate of the Atlantic Ocean, under the addition of bad weather, presents a frightening cold murderous intent!The endless turbulent waves viciously hit the steel body of the battleship from all directions.The seawater that rushed onto the deck was condensed into pale icicles in a blink of an eye. It was slippery to step on, and even the turret seemed to be frozen and unable to move!

As long as there is a slight delay in cleaning up, the entire battleship will be covered with a thick layer of ice.Not only will it greatly increase the weight, but it will also cause an unstable center of gravity, which is a very unfavorable factor for sailing in harsh sea conditions!

Therefore, the damage control department and the soldiers who were fine had to change shifts to remove the ice. In addition to chopping and chiseling with ice picks, the most effective way was to use pipes to bring high-temperature steam over, scouring the deck fiercely, causing the ice to crack or melt!

This kind of work is as difficult as an icebreaker sailing on the Arctic Ocean.

From the high bridge, overlooking the floating and sinking blocks of ice on the sea, Colonel Lindemann, the captain of the flagship "Bismarck", couldn't help frowning, and said: "Fortunately, we got the information from the Chinese." In exchange for the antifreeze lubricating oil technology, otherwise it would be terrible to encounter such weather!"

Facing the icy North Sea, the Germans had long coveted the resources of the Nordic countries. To start a war with Maozi, the Germans had already quietly made various preparations, among which the most critical one was to ensure that all kinds of machinery and equipment could be used in severe cold weather. Various lubricating oils used.Don't underestimate this thing, it is absolutely indispensable for modern military armed forces that rely more and more on mechanical equipment.Without it, your tank can't start, the cannon can't fire, the gun bolt can't be pulled, the plane can't start, all of them are dead targets!

In the past, Hitler didn't expect the situation to be so serious. He got up early and obtained lubricating oil and antifreeze from Zhu Bin through trade. shocked!Last winter was the hardest.

After suffering a lesson, he came back this year and personally urged him to increase research efforts. On that basis, he continued to develop lubricating oil and antifreeze that can withstand ultra-low temperatures above minus 40 degrees. improvement.The navy also benefited from this, otherwise, it is still a matter of whether they can drive out of the North Sea today!

Including high-temperature steam ice melting technology, all learned from the Chinese.It seems simple, but how to ensure the output steam without affecting the total system pressure and controlling the balance and temperature under the operation of steam boilers and steam turbines also requires careful study.

Today, these technologies are helping a lot!

Colonel Lindemann wondered how the Chinese would feel about this?Um?Shoot yourself in the foot?

Admiral Lukins also stayed here, did not comment on his topic, only calmly asked if the other warships had much impact, the situation summed up, it was not bad, except that a dozen light ships were seriously ill and were forced to slow down outside of speed.None of the chains have been dropped, which shows the excellent level of German machinery manufacturing.

Afterwards, he focused on the opponent's situation, and the reward he got was that the Chinese Navy had all left their posts and was expected to be in the current sea area.Not far from Bermuda.

"Huh? How did they go there?"

Lukins couldn't help frowning, this is really not good news.Not to mention that in Bermuda, there is a naval base leased to the Americans by the British and distributed to the Chinese according to the agreement. A military airport and a small port can be opened up.

In the large triangle between Bermuda, Florida, and the Bahamas, there is a turbulent Mexican current and a large area of ​​the Sargasso Sea.There are unpredictable geomagnetic anomalies. Over the past century, dozens of shipwrecks have occurred. Because the sea water is too deep, it is impossible to rescue and salvage. It has been spread as a sea of ​​​​devils.

Ships sailing on the Atlantic Ocean are quite afraid of this, like old guys like Admiral Lukins.It is also unavoidable to be suspicious.

The Chinese, don't they want to lure the fleet there before starting the fight?

Colonel Lindemann smiled easily: "No matter what their plan is, it is meaningless in the face of absolute power. Well, maybe they already know the scale of our operation now, and maybe they have adopted an evasive strategy in advance!"

He has enough confidence to say this.The naval power dispatched this time is enough to block the Atlantic Ocean without any loopholes. Just the reconnaissance planes flying in the sky can form an uninterrupted connection from east to west with the vast ocean hand in hand.Even at night.There are a large number of night vision reconnaissance planes constantly searching, trying to hide, but there is no door.

The submarine force dispatched in advance, more than 100 sea wolves from various countries, has long been lurking in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.Under the command of Doenitz himself, all the elites will be sent out, and no enemy will be let go.

Lukins nodded. He also knew that the strength of the fleet he led was not only unprecedented in Germany, but the key was the strength of three teams. The scale of millions of tons of warships was probably unprecedented.No matter how advanced the Chinese weapons are and how powerful the missiles are, there will always be a time when they are exhausted, and there are nearly [-] battleships on my side, and they can be exhausted.

However, he still doesn't agree with excessive pride, and kindly reminded: "Always be careful. This battle is directly related to the reputation of the German Navy, and no mistakes are allowed!"

Lindemann replied solemnly: "Understood! Please rest assured, General, we will do our best!"

Sailing along the non-European border on the left is a battle group with British ships as the main force. Reliable guy, but gathered no less than ten battleships, mighty and majestic!

The navy that was barely integrated was looked down upon by both sides before, and even more, it was Commander Cunningham who had no fighting spirit, no plan, and reckless rudeness for this batch of advanced warships. The contempt of a good-for-nothing guy.Even now, the glorious British Empire Navy has lost most of its main force, but even if there is only one battleship left under his command, he dares to despise the Italians who have nine battleships.Nothing else, the gap is too big!

Just like now, that General Augustus is talking endlessly, how many volleys can blow up the Chinese, no one else needs to do it, as long as the powerful "Veneto" sets up the cannon, the Chinese will You have to surrender obediently...

General Cunningham couldn't help showing a sneer of sarcasm: "These idiots really think that the Chinese are still the same as they were 20 years ago! Hehe, are we and the powerful navies of the United States and Japan all just paper? No wonder the Germans dumped them to our commanders, they really are a bunch of bastards who have done more than fail!"

Then, he couldn't help feeling extremely worried about the battle that was about to break out --- fighting with such a group of pig teammates, it's not a small trouble!

The Italians didn't realize it, and even felt good about themselves, completely ignoring the strange eyes of the British, splitting the fleet into several columns for a while, and letting the battleships come out at the same time, making a horizontal impact posture, which was a lot of fun.

In the end, Cunningham couldn't take it anymore, and violently seized the command, ordered the fleet to return to the stable posture of two columns abreast according to the previous plan, and sent reconnaissance planes to continuously search the sea at a depth of 20 kilometers at low altitude, even Reduce the overall speed to [-] knots, and take strict precautions for fear of being attacked.

In this regard, the Italians have a lot of opinions, but their protests were ruthlessly suppressed by the Germans accompanying the army---the rubbish performance of the Italian Army has spread throughout Germany, and Hitler has a headache and does not know how to comment , Repeatedly warned the commanders from all walks of life to keep an eye on them, don't play tricks on them!

Contrary to them, the troops going south along the North American continent on the right side are centered on the incomplete US Navy and a few newly built warships, but they have accumulated an air superiority attack formation of six aircraft carriers. Lieutenant General Spruance, who was put on the command post, remained silent all the way, showing no emotion.

Only Fletcher, who served as his deputy, knew that in fact, in the general's heart, there was always something called "revenge anger", and the target was to occupy the major ports in southern North America, and he was about to face the war head-on at this time. The Chinese Navy! (To be continued..)
