"Uranium weapons?"

Neither the American nor the British ambassadors understood that they were not aware of the "uranium project" that their governments were secretly carrying out - like the Americans, the secret of nuclear fission had been discovered in 1941 thanks to the joint efforts of scientists at the Cavendish Laboratory in the United Kingdom and MI6 intelligence officers, but because the British Empire was already in a state of flux, the uranium project was progressing slowly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut this matter is top secret, and the ambassador in a foreign country does not know about it.

Stalin smiled, in fact, he did not know what "uranium" was used for, his spies only learned that Germany, the United States, and Britain were all hoarding this "porcelain dye", and they had all set up special scientific research institutions to conduct secret research, which was obviously not for the sake of high-tech porcelain manufacturing.

Therefore, when the British and American ambassadors came to discuss the world anti-Nazi alliance with Stalin today, Stalin took the opportunity to blackmail him. Maybe we can come up with a "co-development" so that at least we can figure out what the Germans are collecting so uranium for.

"General Secretary, I have not heard of this thing...... "The American ambassador replied in the affirmative, "what is this thing?" ”

"It's chemical element No. 92," said British Ambassador Stafford Murphy. Cripps knew what uranium was, and he was in the chemical industry before he became a barrister. "But I didn't know this thing could be used to make weapons, it's just a dye......"

"It can!" Stalin continued to deceive, "Comrade Kapitsa, director of the USSR Institute of Physics, told me that uranium can be used to make weapons. ”

Stalin, of course, also knew that the Germans were collecting uranium at the same time as they were also collecting quantum physicists, and that experts from the Soviet intelligence services had linked uranium with quantum physicists, because the quantum physics community was now keen to find transuranic elements.

"Did Mr. Kapitha say that?" Stafford studied chemical engineering. Cripps, of course, knew that Capitsa was a physics guru.

This under Stafford. Kripps also believed what Stalin said, and when he returned to the embassy, he was ready to send a telegram to London - Stalin was now blindfolded! However, when he fully understands the slow progress of Britain and the United States in "uranium weapons research," he is afraid that he will have to live in fear.

"Don't pick it up! Don't look at it! ”

Amid the rebuke of the political work cadres and the cadres of the counterintelligence department of the group army, Yakov. Drugashvili got up from the wheat field on the side of the road, walked to the road and picked up a leaflet dropped by a German bomber.

The military headquarters column of the 9th Mechanized Corps, to which he belonged, was discovered by several DO217s when he stopped for dinner just now, dropped a bunch of bombs and scattered many reactionary leaflets.

But Yakov. Dzhugashvili was unharmed, and when the German plane arrived, he was eating roast beef with potatoes and vodka - this was not a small stove, but the standard ration of a "mid-ranking officer". But those German planes dropped flares first and then bombs (night bombing, if you don't drop a few flares, who knows where the world revolutionary fighters are at night?). As soon as the flare dropped, Rokossovsky dragged Yakov into the wheat field by the roadside, so there was no danger.

When the German planes were far away, Dzhugashvili came out of the wheat field, only to find many more leaflets on the road, apparently dropped by Nazi German planes. Others would not dare to pick it up, but Yakov . Dzhugashvili is not afraid, Stalin is his loving father. So I picked one up and looked at it with the help of the fire from the German bombs.

"What did the Germans say?" Rokossovsky saw that Yakov was looking at something that should not be seen, and instead of criticizing education, he sounded.

"The Germans said that Stalin betrayed the world revolution, betrayed Lenin's line, and colluded with Anglo-American imperialism to attack socialist Germany. It was also Stalin, in order to carry out the line of betrayal of the revolution, that killed and arrested many tried and tested old Bolsheviks......"

"Nonsense! Utter nonsense! Rokossovsky gritted his teeth and said, "These German Nazis talk nonsense all day long, and without a word of truth, no one will believe them." ”

Yakov. Dzhugashvili shrugged his shoulders, the words of the German leaflets, of course, were slanderous, and it was true that no world revolutionary fighter would believe it. However, the propaganda on the Soviet side apparently did not work, because the crackling gunfire was heard from not far away, and it was the vanguard of the 9th Mechanized Corps exchanging fire with the partisans led by the Polish Solidarity Party and the Polish volunteers of the SS. Ever since the 9th Mechanized Corps crossed the Bug River, Polish reactionaries have been firing at them. At the same time, no Poles took the initiative to welcome them with open arms.

At this time, the gunfire became more and more intense, and occasionally a few piercing explosions were heard. A staff officer ran from somewhere, got to Rokossovsky, whispered something to him. Then Rokossovsky turned his head and smiled bitterly at Dzhugashvili: "Yakov, it seems that the comrades of the vanguard will fight hard again tonight. ”

"What's wrong?"

"There was a wooded area ahead, just off the road, where a lot of Polish reactionaries were lying in ambush, and perhaps anti-tank guns. What a nasty and reactionary guy! ”

Ambushed in the woods ahead was a cavalry of SS Polish volunteers, a battalion-sized battle group - not a traditional cavalry battalion, but a combined battle group of mounted infantry, horse-drawn 50mm anti-tank guns, cavalry guns, mortars, and mounted sappers, as well as a radio station to communicate with the air force. They called the DO-217 that had just been bombed.

The combat capability of this composite battalion-level battle group, especially the ability of anti-tank warfare, far exceeds that of ordinary cavalry battalions, and although it cannot stop the advance of the 9th Mechanized Army, it can delay them. In addition, there were still 2 ring fortresses in the way of the 9th Mechanized Corps that needed to be detoured, so the imaginary hurricane did not appear. On June 1, the 9th Mechanized Corps advanced only 50 kilometers, far less than Stalin boasted in his address to the nation (Stalin said it advanced 50-100 kilometers). At this rate, it will take at least 2-3 days for the 9th Mechanized Corps to rush to the gates of Warsaw.

"Comrade Commander," Dzhugashvili asked, "do you want to make a sortie of Бm-13 rocket launchers?" ”

The 9th Mechanized Corps' repeated blockades by Polish Nazi battalion clusters were also related to its own weaknesses. This mechanized corps has one tank brigade and three motorized infantry brigades (three tank brigades and one motorized infantry brigade in the tank army), and currently has more than 220 tanks in operation, and more than 30 tanks are under repair. The number of tanks was quite a lot, several dozen more than the 1 newly formed German Panzer Division with only 11 tank regiments. However, this Soviet mechanized corps was not lethal enough for rapidly maneuvering "soft targets", and the Soviet People's Commissariat of Defense conceived such Soviet heavy units to be used against German tanks or German infantry in trenches. It was not expected that you would encounter a rifle infantry that was nimble and maneuverable, and had considerable anti-tank capabilities.

In the face of such an enemy, if it is set aside to fight the Soviet mechanized army, of course, it is not afraid. Each mechanized corps has 2 artillery regiments, and it is enough to bombard with artillery and then charge with motorized infantry (in fact, it is just a truck march), and there is no need for tanks to be dispatched.

But now they encounter enemies who like to play ambushes, buy a mine to make a roadside bomb, or ambush a 50mm anti-tank gun in the roadside forest to attack the weak side of the tank. Against such an opponent, which is small in number but has great mobility and firepower, Rokossovsky's mechanized corps has nothing to do but cover the infantry with rocket artillery.

Because it is not a matter of a while and a half to set up an artillery position, and the enemy will not give you so much time. And to charge with tanks, it was necessary to deal not only with the 50mm guns of the Germans, but also with what "iron fist" anti-tank grenade launchers and pre-buried anti-tank mines. Seeing that the precious tanks were destroyed by the small forces of the reactionaries in this way, everyone felt distressed, after all, the Soviet Union was not as tyrant as the United States.

As for the direct charge with infantry, Rokossovsky did it once in the morning, and as a result, the losses were quite heavy! With this engagement, Rokossovsky was surprised to find that the combat effectiveness of the German infantry (mounted infantry) far exceeded that of the Soviet Red Army!

Not only did their infantry outwhelm the Soviet infantry in tactics and battlefield experience, but the number of automatic firearms was surprisingly large. The German infantry seemed to have a new type of submachine gun that had a range no less than that of a rifle, but could fire in bursts, and although it was not a single one, it was used with the MG42 and Mauser 98 rifles, giving it an overwhelming advantage in infantry-to-infantry contests.

"Okay, send out the rocket artillery to fire a salvo!" Without much thought, Rokossovsky agreed to Dzhugashvili's proposal. No matter how secret weapons are on the battlefield, they are meant to be used, so the important thing is not to be discovered by the enemy, but to use them in the right place.

Woohoo......

A shrill scream reached the ears of Colonel Figlein, commander of the 20th Polish Volunteer Cavalry Division of the SS, who was watching the battle on the second floor of a Catholic church not far from the battlefield. At the same time, he saw a hundred fires streak across the night sky at great speed, and then destroy a large area of the woods occupied by SS Polish volunteers.

"The Soviets are shooting rockets?" Colonel Figlein frowned, he was worried about the Polish Nazis guarding the woods.

"Yes, colonel, this weapon has caused us great losses, and during the day today alone, our regiment lost more than 200 comrades, most of whom were killed or wounded by such rockets."

An SS lieutenant colonel immediately reported to Feglein: "In addition, the KV-1 of the Soviets is also powerful!" Usually after a round of rocket fire, the KV-1 led the Soviet infantry to charge. Our 50mm guns will not be able to deal with the front of the KV-1 at all, and the KV-1 will not rush too close, they will stop at a distance of two or three hundred meters from our positions and continue the charge with 76.2mm guns and machine guns to support the infantry. ”

"Okay, I got it all." Feglein nodded, "Let your men retreat, you don't have to organize an ambush tonight." (To be continued.) )
