The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

Outside Smolensk, a batch of new weapons called V4 missiles were transported to a secret base.

They are called V4 missiles, but the correct name is Scud missiles.

Yes, that's right, it's the Scud missiles. August exchanged ten Scud missiles for Dr. Braun, who used them for reverse engineering.

In fact, the Scud missile was modified on the basis of the V2 missile, but the basic materials science at that time had not made a big breakthrough, so the actual combat type of the V3 missile was not strong.

But with the Scud missile as a reference, Dr. Braun suddenly realized that for these talented scientists, sometimes just a small hint can greatly improve scientific research and technology.

In addition, the Scud missile itself is not a high-end weapon. For Dr. Braun, it is easy to produce it with a sample.

In order to protect this place, an infantry division was directly transferred to station, and the guard post was placed ten kilometers away. Fighters were always on standby for takeoff, and the radar was turned on 24 hours a day.

Basically, not a fly can fly in, and not a mosquito can fly out.

"This is a missile? It's no different from the previous missiles."A German soldier looked at the V4 missile on the car and said curiously

"There is a difference. It is said that the maximum range is 300 kilometers and the killing radius is 150 meters. It is definitely a powerful weapon."A lieutenant officer nearby explained.

"My God, this is so powerful. Doesn’t this mean that we can defeat the Russian bears on the front line here?"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think the guards are so strict?"The lieutenant glanced and said

"So that's why. The Empire has more and more new weapons recently. They actually made so many missiles at once, as well as so many auxiliary equipment and command vehicles."The soldier sighed.

In order to solve the cost problem this time, the three-purpose vehicle used for launching can be recycled. Next time, just load the missiles, unlike before when they were all disposable and the cost was too high.

With the help of these rocket experts, the missile officers and soldiers soon understood the missiles, and simple launch should not be a problem.

"Now we just need to wait for the front-line reconnaissance aircraft to send us the location and dimensions of the target to be attacked, so that we can determine the missile launch distance and approximate location." Dr. Brian said.

The officer next to him nodded, then turned around and asked,"When will the reconnaissance aircraft send the data?"

"It will probably take some time."The communications officer said hurriedly.

"Dr. Bryan, I want to ask, how powerful is this missile?"The leading colonel asked curiously.

"The exact number of casualties is unknown, but since all the missiles were fired at the enemy's gathering place, the casualties are probably very heavy.

It is hard to estimate the exact number, but there will be no living creatures within a radius of 150 meters.

"Dr.

Brian pondered for a while, his eyes sparkling.

Upon hearing this, the colonel officer took a breath of cold air.

There were no living creatures within a radius of 150 meters, which was a bit scary.

According to the Russian infantry attack manual, there was at least a battalion of troops within 150 meters, which meant that a single missile could kill a battalion, which was simply too scary.

If it was the German infantry attack manual, there would be almost a company attacking within a radius of 150 meters, which was also scary.

"This is a truly terrifying weapon." The colonel said with a wry smile, looking at the group of experts with awe, they are all a bunch of lunatics.

"We are just scientists, responsible for researching weapons. What they are used for has nothing to do with us."Dr. Brown spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

Hearing this, the colonel was stunned for a moment, and then said:"Indeed, the war has nothing to do with you."

……

On the front line, Model's Fourth Army did not put up much resistance, and of course did not retreat directly, but counterattacked a little at midnight, but the force was not very strong. Even so, the Soviet army responsible for the counterattack was still confused, and they had no idea what this operation was.

We retreated before we attacked? And the retreat was very straightforward, which made the vanguard of the bear hesitate and dare not move forward for a while.

Because they were all wondering if there would be any conspiracy waiting for them ahead.

It was soon passed to the general headquarters, and Zhukov, who received the telegram, was also hesitant. He didn't know if there was a trap ahead.

Because the German army's tactics are very confusing now, unlike before, as long as they were looking for a decisive battle, they would definitely fight hard and never give up until they win.

Now, often this side just attacked and the other side retreated, and Model was even more absolute, without even saying hello, he retreated ten kilometers directly.

If it weren't for the German army counterattacking on some other lines of defense and causing them great damage, he would have suspected that the German army was secretly instigating some conspiracy

""What should we do? Should we continue to move forward now?" Zhukov asked undecidedly.

Marshal Vasilev next to him also fell into deep thought and said slowly:"How about sending a division to launch a tentative attack first?"

"That's a good idea."Zhukov nodded.

Soon, a newly formed infantry division was assigned to the exploratory mission. After receiving the mission, the commander of the infantry division looked desperate and even wrote a suicide note.

"Check carefully to see if there is an ambush under your feet"

"Be careful, look for mines"

"do not worry"

"Hey, nothing? Are they really retreating?"

After advancing for several kilometers without any gunfire, the commander of the infantry division of the Russian bear immediately relaxed his vigilance.

"Are they really scared?"This is what all the bear soldiers thought, but they still did not take it lightly.

Seeing that there was no gunfire, Zhukov frowned even more, because so far, apart from some isolated counterattacks, there was no other counterattack.

"Is it really a retreat? This is not in line with the German army's fighting style."Zhukov said doubtfully.

He has been dealing with the German army for several years, and he knows the other side's tactics very well, but now, it is really difficult for him to make up his mind.

""Commander, how about sending five more divisions to test it out?" Marshal Vasilev suggested.

Since one division is not enough, then send a few more divisions. If they are ambushed, that would be even better, because it means that the German army is really plotting something. Anyway, there are still hundreds of divisions in the rear, with nearly four million troops, and they have enough confidence to consume the troops.

Zhukov thought Vasilevsky's proposal was feasible. After thinking about it, he immediately ordered:"Well, transfer five more divisions. I want to see if the German army is really plotting something."

"yes!"
