The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Chapter 521 Public revenge and private revenge

Churchill certainly knew what it was.

In fact, when Churchill saw the telegram from the Soviet Union regarding the inquiry, he jumped out of his chair immediately.

"The Germans finally used 'aircraft missiles' on the Soviets!" Churchill said. (Note: The British call V1 an ‘aircraft missile’)

"Do you want to pass the information to the Soviets?" the staff officer asked.

"No!" Churchill lit the cigar on his lips, thought for a moment and replied: "You have to have reservations, understand?"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister..." The staff officer was a little confused.

"We also need the Soviets to provide us with information!" Churchill said: "If all the information is passed to them... they will not provide us with follow-up information!"

After hearing this, the staff officer couldn't help but suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Yes, I know what to do!"

The staff officer indeed knew what to do. He sent a telegram to the Soviet Union, revealing only a little information: "We have also been bombed by Germany's new equipment several times and suffered losses. We have no confidence in this equipment." The understanding is very limited, and it is speculated that it may be an unmanned aerial vehicle. I hope to keep in touch and share information about this equipment in the future!”

This means that the Soviet side revealed a little bit of bombing data, and the British side also revealed a little bit.

On the other hand, Churchill immediately sent a telegram to Roosevelt in a high-profile manner: "I'm right, the Germans used 'aircraft missiles' on the Eastern Front, and do you know what happened? They used 'aircraft missiles' 'It accurately bombed a position only one kilometer away from the German defense line. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that the accuracy of this equipment is within one kilometer!"

After receiving this telegram, Roosevelt fell into deep thought, or it could be said to be shocked.

He really couldn't imagine how Germany, under the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, would come up with equipment one after another that made everyone stunned... For example, this "aircraft missile" can travel hundreds of kilometers Finally, there is an accuracy of one kilometer, which is simply incredible.

Thinking about Roosevelt, I feel a little scary. If the Germans produce this equipment on a large scale, what else can they do to confront the Germans in the future? Land battle? Landing battle?

Roosevelt unconsciously fell into a kind of pessimism.

Of course, this information was also conveyed to Stalin. He was silent for a while while holding his pipe in his mouth, and then only said a few words: "Continue to attack Holm!"

Stalin actually didn't take this matter too seriously. In his eyes, decisive victory in the war was more about quantity. If it was just a few new equipment of small scale... it would be nothing more than a showpiece.

Stalin's idea can be said to be reasonable or unreasonable.

It makes sense because an important indicator for evaluating equipment is output... If the performance is good but the cost is high and only a few or a dozen vehicles can be produced a year, it will also not be effective.

The typical one in modern times is the Japanese Type 10 tank. Its performance on paper is indeed good (the reason why I say "performance on paper" is because this tank broke down frequently during training, and many of its performances were obviously blown out) , but the cost is high and only a dozen can be produced a year... If this thing is really put into the battlefield, it will collapse itself before defeating the enemy.

It makes no sense because some equipment is strategic and does not need to be scaled up. For example, just one or two atomic bombs can play a decisive role.

Of course, this was all turmoil within the leaders of various countries, and Holm didn't feel much of it.

If anything, the Soviets have become more and more cautious, and they are a little timid when attacking. No matter how much the officers shout and curse behind them, it is of no avail. Many people still look up at the sky from time to time, worried that something will happen. There won't be a "plane missile" falling from the sky and blowing them up.

Qinchuan and Conrad liked to whet the appetite of the Soviets in this way. When the Soviets were always worried that there would be another "aircraft missile", they did not make any move. After a few days, the Soviets slowly relaxed and even Just when I had almost forgotten about it, suddenly "aircraft missiles" fell from the sky again, and this time there were three of them.

Except for one of these three missiles that malfunctioned and fell on the way, the other two hit the west bank of Holm very accurately.

One hit a row of houses, causing the entire row to collapse...but this may be because this row of houses had been bombed before, otherwise it would not have been so powerful.

The other one hit the cemetery, blowing up all the tombstones in the cemetery, turning them upside down or blowing them crooked. It also left a large hole several meters deep.

As for the malfunctioning V1, it was confirmed that it exploded shortly after landing... For confidentiality reasons, the Germans installed several explosive fuses on V1 to ensure that it could explode under any circumstances. It turns out that these fuses also Successful, because almost all V1s fired exploded normally.

That look frightened the Soviet soldiers... What the soldiers were most worried about was encountering this kind of thing. They encountered a powerful piece of enemy equipment on the battlefield and they were unable to counterattack.

This will make the soldiers feel that they are fighting a battle with no hope of victory, and they will even think about whether the entire country will collapse under this equipment.

As a result, negativity, laziness, fear, and all kinds of negative emotions sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain.

The German Army Group Center headquarters also received relevant news.

Kruger immediately called Conrad: "Colonel, I heard that you are using a new type of equipment in Holm?"

"Yes!" Conrad replied.

"I want to know... can this new equipment be used in other directions?" Kruger said: "You know, our Northern Army Group is not completely out of trouble yet!"

"Your Excellency Marshal!" Conrad replied: "I can't say too much because it's confidential. Please forgive me!"

Then Conrad hung up the phone.

Qin Chuan looked at Conrad with confusion.

"What's wrong?" Conrad asked.

"Why didn't you agree to Marshal Kruger's request?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No reason!" Conrad replied: "I just want him to understand how stupid he was to leave you and your troops in Holm!"

"Okay!" Qin Chuan rolled his eyes: "That's why!"

"Yes, just for this!" Conrad said: "Everyone knows that offending me will not end well, even the marshal is no exception!"

After a pause, Conrad added: "Now, if this guy is not too stupid, he should know what to do!"
