Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

A formation of IL-10 attack aircraft was leisurely wandering in the air. The reason why it was so leisurely was because the target assigned to them in the original plan was blown to pieces by friendly forces first. The dispatch center was extremely busy and had no time to arrange new bombing targets for them. With enough fuel, they could only wander around leisurely to see where they could drop the bomb.

After a while, the formation commander received a notification from the dispatch center. "C-13 Squadron, C-13 Squadron, please rush to area Z-21 immediately to support the ground forces. Repeat, area Z-21."

"C-13 Squadron received it." The commander whistled and immediately rushed to the Z-21 area, fearing that his target would be robbed again.

They arrived at the Z-21 area 20 minutes later. From a distance, they could see the dust raised by the shells falling on the ground, as well as a large number of Soviet troops gathered on the other side of the river. These Soviet troops seemed to have just arrived, and they didn't even build defensive positions. They were just huddled on the other side of the river, making them perfect targets.

"Hans, you guys go find the Soviet artillery position, the others follow me!"

At this time, the Soviet army on the other side of the river also discovered the fleet of aircraft flying from the sky.

"Damn it!" the Soviet division commander shouted loudly. "Prepare for air defense operations!!"

The Soviet army hurriedly set up their anti-aircraft machine guns, and the rest of the infantry also raised their rifles and pointed them at the sky.

The standard weapons of the IL-10 attack aircraft are two 20mm cannons and two 62mm machine guns. In addition, a cannon pod can be installed on the belly of the aircraft or rocket launchers can be mounted under the wings. The caliber of the cannon ranges from 30mm to 40mm, 57mm, and the maximum can be mounted to 75mm. The German Hs-129 attack aircraft during World War II was equipped with a 75mm cannon and became the ultimate "tank can opener".

"Fire!" The anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground fired wildly at the fleet of aircraft in the sky, leaving tracer bullets all over the sky. The IL-10 attack planes also swooped down under the hail of bullets, pouring firepower on the Soviet troops on the ground.

The armor of the Il-10 attack aircraft is thicker than that of the Il-2, and it is not afraid of the firepower of small-caliber anti-aircraft weapons on the ground. The attack aircraft's 62 mm machine gun, 20, 4 mm cannon, and 88 mm rockets are overwhelming. Go down and beat the Soviet soldiers to their knees.

The Soviet army arrived here less than an hour ago. They only focused on attacking and did not build any defenses. Facing the German aerial attack, they had nowhere to hide. At most, they found a ditch to hide. But there were not so many holes on the ground for them to avoid. After just one dive attack, the Soviet army collapsed and dispersed in all directions.

Seeing the German planes climbing to a high altitude and circling in preparation for another attack, the Soviet division commander couldn't sit still. He didn't care about "Order No. 270" and immediately fled in the direction of the car. However, there were only a few Soviet vehicles, and these vehicles were quite conspicuous among the infantry scurrying over the mountains and fields. It was difficult for the German pilots in the sky to spot them. Immediately, two attack planes focused on the convoy, swooped down, and fired a stream of rockets at the convoy. Although the rockets at this time were not accurately guided, if dozens of rockets were hit, one or two would explode at close range.

The unlucky Soviet division commander and his division headquarters were drowned in the scorching flames. Without unified command, the remaining Soviet troops were like lambs to be slaughtered. The Il-10 attack plane almost passed over their heads, and the Soviet troops were hit with raindrops of machine gun bullets.

In the Kremlin's combat conference room, when they received news that German troops had appeared near the village of Gorac, the senior officials did not react for a while. Until the staff found the little-known village chief of Gorac on the map, everyone was shocked when they saw the location of the village chief. "Why did the Germans show up here?!" That's already the northern border of Ukraine. Could it be that the German troops that broke through the frontline defenses have already advanced here? !

Eisenhower, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Expeditionary Force, was also here, frowning and staring at the German troop movements displayed on the huge sand table. In fact, after the German army broke through the three front lines of defense, this movement was no longer very reliable, but now the German army appears on the border of Ukraine. "Do the Germans want to surround the entire Ukraine and Belarus? This appetite is too big." However, the Germans have always had a big appetite, otherwise they would not have eaten most of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. And he did not believe that the Germans would make crazy moves that were not sure.

Eisenhower asked the translator to translate his words to others. "Everyone, if the German army succeeds in encircling the entire Ukraine and Belarus, then our losses will be considerable. Either we go to Ukraine and Belarus to support more troops, or we immediately withdraw all troops that can be withdrawn to reduce losses." There are three lines of defense. None of them could stop the German attack. He finally saw the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army. If you stay in Ukraine and Belarus with such combat power, you will definitely be annihilated!

Upon hearing Eisenhower's suggestion to retreat, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Stalin.

Stalin had not slept well last night and roared in a hoarse voice. "No retreat!" He had just issued "Order No. 270" not long ago, and now he is ordering a retreat. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to himself? "You cannot retreat just because the enemy is temporarily strong! The battle will continue until the last moment. The great Soviet Red Army will definitely win the final victory by adhering to its firm belief!!"

Eisenhower couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the translated words. I secretly cursed this guy for not knowing anything about war. No matter how firm your faith is, can you withstand the enemy's bullets? !

If you don't understand, just stop interfering and leave the problem to professionals to solve, okay? But looking at the Soviet top brass around him who lowered their heads and dared not say a word, Eisenhower became even more angry. This is totally a one-man rule, even more so than Germany's. But at least the German Crown Prince is a genuine military genius, but you are not. Can you please stop gesticulating? !

Others also have their own concerns. Because of Timoshenko's defection, the terrible purge movement is about to start again. Who dares to disobey Stalin at this time? Since Stalin does not allow retreat, even if all the troops in the encirclement are wiped out, he does not need to take the blame; if he loses the battle, he cannot blame himself anyway, right?

It was their business not to withdraw, and Eisenhower could not watch his troops fall into siege. He immediately ordered the adjutant next to him. "Send an order to immediately withdraw all our troops from Ukraine and Belarus."
