Chapter 42 Snow
Golachenko sat in the front machine gun cabin of the Du2 bomber, humming a tune. He looked at the ground below and shouted loudly, Dear Captain, have you seen it? Our troops below are so spectacular. Captain Machinov also replied loudly: Yes, this time, these damn fascist robbers will die without a burial place. I heard that the head seemed to have an order, don't take prisoners. Machinov remembered the news that his brother-in-law General Kadan Weichsky revealed to him when he was drinking last night. This time, it was a 600,000 army and more than 800 tanks. Moreover, our 8th Air Army was also dispatched in full swing. Hehe, when he went back this time, my brother-in-law said that he wanted me to be the captain."
Thinking of this, Machinov looked up at the sky. There were black aircraft groups around him, and the sky was covered. Yes, this time it was the largest dispatch since the establishment of the group army. There were more than 1,200 fighter jets, bombers, and attack aircraft. I heard that the young fighter jets had put a lot of smelly socks and smelly dog shit in the cabin. Hahaha, after firing bullets, they threw them. This formation scared many Germans to death, right? Machinov just thought about it like this.
Hum? What was suddenly stained with the cabin glass? Another piece of snowflakes? What happened? Didn’t the news network say that today is sunny, is it a good day to go out for a trip? Why does it snow? Looking at the increasing wind and snow, listening to the curses and scoldings of various aircraft groups coming from the headphones, Machinov immediately collapsed on the chair. It’s over! In such a weather, everything is over! What is the consequence of Machinov’s own plane under the attack of a blizzard?
A sudden blizzard swept the Stalingrad region. We don’t know whether the snow was brought by the great General Gesyun. But it is certain that the 8th Air Army of the Soviet Union was finished. The strong cooling caused a layer of thin ice on the engine of the aircraft, and then it stopped the engine and stopped rotating. Then the Soviet aircraft fell to the ground like a headless fly.
Of course, there were also aircraft of particularly good quality that struggled to fly up, and the pilots tried hard to control the plane and flew towards the airport. But they found that it was almost impossible to go back under such circumstances.
"Look, look, it's another one that fell down, it's MiG-3." "There, there, there, we've hit each other. It's so good, retribution." As the Soviet planes fell one after another, the German soldiers surrounded the air raid shelter and watched. The fall of each plane in front of them could make them cheer. Several soldiers who were gambled together and started a bet. Seeing that the Soviet plane would not fall into the pit in front of their air raid shelter.
Jintian was also awakened by the cheers of the soldiers, rubbing his eyes that were a little hazy, "It's time for such a noisy time. Is it time to start dinner?" Wright and Taide, who had been in a daze for a long time, woke up, "General, it's really snowing. It seems that the Ice and Snow Goddess saw the text message you left. General Ge Siyun is really a god."
The blizzard made the Germans successful, but the Soviets suffered. The first unlucky one was the 8th Air Army of the Soviet Army. Only 1,200 aircraft were successfully forced to land, and the rest were like crows that had been stripped of hair and fell all over the ground. The second unlucky one was the Soviet infantry that was launching an attack. The knee-deep snow made the troops unable to move except tanks. They were also frustrated by the planes that fell on the return flight and bombs. All military operations were forced to stop. All assembly had to be listened to obediently.
In short, no matter how different the opinions of future generations of military scientists commented on this battle, they only had one thing in common: this snow changed the direction of the battle, changed the direction of the war, and changed the direction of the world. Without this snow, it would be difficult for the Germans to stop the Soviet Union from fighting back like a tide. It seems that Nazi generals Ricci, Feng, and Ge Siyun had invincible good luck.
After learning that his 8th Air Army had suffered a blizzard and was wiped out, Lieutenant General Popov found a piece of tofu on the spot and committed suicide by hitting his head. At the Soviet Front Command, Zhukov received a report from the staff officer, without saying a word, and his old habit of irregular Nikkei immediately relapsed. His eyes turned white and he almost hung up. The staff officers and generals were breathing artificially, massaged, and acupuncture. Zhukov recovered.
History is often just a joke, it was the early winter that allowed the Soviets to block the Germans in Moscow. In Stalingrad, the belated blizzard gave the Germans a chance to breathe. If Popov did not send the 8th Air Army out at one time, if the blizzard came late or a little earlier, the situation might not have been like this. In any case, Kimda never encountered another attack from a Soviet plane in the subsequent battles. The rumors of German generals, Rich, Feng, and Gess Games calling the wind and rain spread throughout the Soviet army.
In Berlin, Germany, Hitler stared blankly at the front-line information he had just received, what should he do? Is the hope I just saw shattered again? He gnawed his fingers and circled around Himmler: The damn Slavic monkey and the damn Zhukov actually gathered 600,000 people to attack Stalingrad. Now the 8th Air Force of the Soviet Union is bombing Stalingrad again. How can Gesyun defend it? Please God bless my dear little Geshe!"
