Imperial Overlord

: one thousand one hundred fifty-seven

Since arriving on the Crimean Peninsula, Vasilevsky has been imagining in his mind his final scene before his death.

He had fantasized about the moment when he bravely sacrificed himself, and also thought about the possibility of being beaten to death by the enemy. When the final time was getting closer, he realized that his doomsday was different from his original idea: People's hearts will be chaotic, and no one can take it lightly when they die.

Above his head is a three-story thick reinforced concrete fortification. Almost the entire mountain of Sevastopol was hollowed out by the Soviet Union's own laborers, and three-story internal buildings were built inside.

The bottom layer is the current headquarters of Vasilevsky, and he is surrounded by equally important well-being and ammunition depots; on the upper layer, there is a huge underground barracks where soldiers are stationed, enough to accommodate more than a thousand fully equipped soldiers. Armed Red Army soldiers, and some storage depots for small arms ammunition; further up are the passages to the various branch batteries and the main bunker, which are now almost all destroyed by shelling.

On the surface, in the trenches that have been destroyed, are Soviet soldiers who have little will to fight. They guarded the rubble-like defensive positions and tried every means to fight the Germans.

Because there are still some underground passages, the more the Soviet army retreats to the core fortifications, the easier it is to get more support.

The hidden underground traffic tunnel can dispatch troops to transport ammunition without knowing it, and a large amount of ammunition has been hoarded in the entire Sevastopol fortress, which is enough for the defenders to squander for a while.

The fortress or the group of fortresses in front of you can already be regarded as the strongest defense system built in the history of mankind - no one!

In terms of the firepower configuration and defense level at the core position, it has completely surpassed the French Maginot Line of Defense, which is no less than any defense project built by humans.

Being able to destroy with such a fortress, Vasilevsky felt that he had no regrets.

He persevered like a true warrior to the end, and then died a decent battle in the great fortress - a good home, and made him feel that everything was fine.

"Send a telegram to Stalingrad and tell Comrade Stalin that I have died in battle here, please take care of him." Vasilevsky sorted his clothes and told his chief of staff.

After instructing the chief of staff to send the telegram, Vasilevsky sighed, then took off his general's cap from the wall and put it on top of his head.

Like many Soviet generals who were temporarily promoted to field marshals, Vasilevsky had no chance to wear his own field marshal uniform.

He could only die in the dark basement, wearing his general's uniform, which has to be said to be a pity.

But think about it, the marshals who died in front of him, from Rokossovsky to Gorshkov, were not able to wear decent marshal uniforms, so Vasilevsky did not feel that he was How unlucky.

"Boom!" A cannonball exploded on top of the underground bunker. It seemed very far away, and it seemed to be right next to his ear. The sound of the explosion of the cannonball was not strong in the office.

Because above this office, there are dozens of meters of concrete and rooms. But it is a pity that Vasilevsky can still feel the vibration brought by the shell to the whole mountain.

From the slight tremors of the table and chairs, he could still detect how huge the exploding shell was.

"After the German army has occupied all the ground positions, you will inform me." Feeling the vibration under his feet, Vasilevsky looked at his chief of staff and said in a pleasing tone.

"Comrade Marshal! I will inform you as soon as possible!" The chief of staff gave a military salute and said with his chin raised.

"Bah!" A gunshot suddenly sounded across a few doors. Vasilevsky knew who fired the shot, so he didn't speak.

A few minutes ago, his comrade political commissar had just said goodbye to him, and tragically expressed his wish to die generously to him.

Now, the comrade political commissar has proved his loyalty to the Soviet Union with practical actions, and it is Marshal Vasilevsky's turn next.

"Boom!" Another German heavy artillery shell fell on the position of the Soviet defenders, sending up a huge cloud of black smoke. The vibration spread to the underground bunker, causing a wisp of dust to fall from the roof.

"Another comrade has left us..." The chief of staff squeezed out a wry smile and said to Vasilevsky.

"Sacrifice is a relief for each of us." Vasilevsky straightened his military cap and said, "At least we can choose to die with dignity!"

...

The Luftwaffe has been suppressing its rival, the Soviet Air Force, on the Eastern Front, and the number and quality of fighter jets are almost higher than the latter.

As for the level of pilots, it is even more that the Luftwaffe has an overwhelming advantage. Whatever the mission, the Luftwaffe was far more powerful than its Soviet counterpart.

The ace air combatants here in Hartman are generally more leisurely. They only need to perform battlefield patrol tasks and then shoot down all enemy aircraft they encounter.

And the pilots who performed the German ground attack missions were completely hard work compared to fighter pilots.

They often work overtime, flying planes to and from their bases and their targets. They dropped bombs over their targets, drained their ammunition and returned home.

These dive bomber pilots often face Soviet ground artillery fire~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Sometimes the Soviets even use their rifles and machine guns to counter low-altitude German attack aircraft.

Often Stuka or JU-88 bombers flew back to their bases with bullet holes all over their bodies. Sometimes, the bulletproof steel plate behind the pilot is even filled with various types of bullets.

The pilots who carried out bombing missions were also the group that suffered the most losses in the Luftwaffe. In the six months since the start of the war, the Germans lost more than 2,500 aircraft, two-thirds of which were bombers of various types.

Because of this, the bomber force has the largest number of supplementary pilots, and the highest percentage of pilot losses on ground bombing missions.

Even so, the Luftwaffe has never rejected a ground attack mission. As long as the Army requests it, the Air Force will always try its best to send aircraft to participate in the battle.

Now, they are fighting again, and the target of the attack is the last lonely city of the Crimea: Sevastopol!
