"My troops have met the main force of the Huaxia Army on the southern front, and Huaxia should be prepared for our operations in the south, and they have already concentrated a considerable part of their forces to intercept us before we set off, this force is at least the size of a division, with a large number of tanks and tank destroyers. My troops tried to break through their defenses, but were unable to continue the offensive after making the opponent pay a considerable price. It's like splitting the first part of a stake with a sharp blade and getting stuck. We are facing off against our opponents on the front lines. It's a matter of success or failure! In a letter to Brauchitsch, Hube said.

Most of what Hu Bei said in this telegram was correct, for example, he ran into the main force of the Southern Front Army of China, for example, the battle was in a stalemate, (well, in other words, he was in a dilemma, the attack had no strength, and he wanted to retreat but was pinned down by the other side.) But the most important point is that he misestimated the size of the other party! And this had a significant impact on the future of the war, if it was one division, then Brauchitsch would continue to attack, and if there were two divisions, Brauchitsch would consider the gains and losses. And if Brauchitsch knew the true situation of the troops on the other side, then he would immediately gather his troops and deploy and withdraw!

Brauchitsch still agrees with Hubey's judgment, so now the question arises, where did this force come from? Is there any more troops in China that can be drawn? Judging from the current situation in Huaxia, it is still possible to transfer a division. After all, the southern front was originally a division and a brigade, and when Huaxia realized that he had bypassed the defense line and attacked, he would naturally return to the defense, plus some remaining troops in the rear, so it was really not a big problem to make up a division.

"Hube is in trouble, and I would be surprised if he rushed in all the way." Brauchitsch understood Hubey's experience very well, and he firmly believed that the force that Hube encountered head-on was the last force to stop his success, a division in China had 4 armored battalions and 6 mechanized infantry battalions, and Hube's strength was 2 reinforced armored battalions and 3 mechanized infantry battalions, it was normal for such a force to be blocked by the other side, and at least half of the opponent's troops were not used. It is unlikely that Hube will be able to make a breakthrough, but he has at least bitten the main force of his opponent, and Brauchitsch's other two attacking forces have 1 armored battalion and 2 mechanized infantry battalions respectively, and it will still be difficult to launch a centripetal attack. Why don't you use the right flank to defend the flank of the Huaxia troops? It now concluded that the original positions on the southern line of China should have been emptied, and the troops of nearly eight battalions deployed on the flanks would be meaningless.

"All of them, crush them!" Brauchitsch was absolutely desperate, and the strength of 3 German divisions with a total of 27 battalions was included in Brauchitsch's attack sequence, and he did not leave any hole cards under his hand! At the same time as giving the order to attack, he also personally sent a telegram to the commander of the Luftwaffe on the Southern Front, hoping that the Air Force would do its best to support the battle. "The battle in the next 2 days will determine the outcome of the entire Southern Front and even the entire campaign. Whether you greet the embrace of the goddess of victory or fall into the abyss of defeat is largely up to you and your Imperial Eagles! In the telegram, Brauchitsch lowered his stature in a rare way. The Air Force quickly said that it would give its full support, so the Germans entered the third wave of the Monsoon attack**. (The first wave was a strategic bombing by the Air Force, the second was a surprise attack on the northern front, and the third wave was an assault on the southern front.) ）

A plane flying in the air will always move much faster than a tank running on the ground! By the time the Germans on both flanks of Hube began to turn to launch a centripetal assault, the German bomber groups were already accumulating in the air! Their goal was Hubey's frontal enemy. The two sides are almost in an encounter, and there is not much time to build a position, if this wave of bombs is dropped, it will be enough for Xu Huaide! However, fortunately, Qin Yue's promise was still fulfilled, and when the watchtower-type early warning aircraft appeared in the sky over the Huaxia army again, it meant that the Huaxia Air Force regained the ability to carry out large-scale battles, and the Huaxia Middle East Air Force had recovered some vitality from the previous strike!

In order to cope with the attack of the German air force in the south, Huaxia at most drew up to 8 full squadrons at one time! 160 fighters of all kinds flew to the battlefield with the help of watchtowers and ground guidance! The Ishchafalcon fighters located at the front-line airfields and the Foxbat fighters taking off from the rear take turns cruising over the battlefield, and there are always 4 to 6 squadrons of fighters available in the theater of operations! On the one hand, the Germans did not expect that the Huaxia Air Force would recover so quickly, and on the other hand, because the attack targets were too scattered, they attacked a surface rather than a point similar to an airfield or a special center for materials. The entire fleet has to attack targets within hundreds of square kilometers. This greatly dispersed the aircraft group, and many German bomber units had to attack in squadrons, and the BF109 was obviously unable to patrol over the theater of operations for a long time, and the Germans could only disassemble the fighter units to carry out accompanying escorts.

And what is even more depressing is that when the Southern Theater Air Force Command just expressed its full support for Brauchitsch, and turned around and planned to ask the headquarters for the FW190 fighter unit to attack, it was categorically rejected by the latter! According to the meaning of the top level of the Air Force, this drill is a good exercise, just assess the combat effectiveness of the new aircraft, if it is really knocked down a few, whether the plane or the pilot falls into the hands of the enemy, it will bring unpredictable consequences, after weighing it again and again, Richthofen believes that the success or failure of the German offensive on the southern front does not seem to have as much impact as the leakage of new aircraft, so the air marshal personally ordered a ban on the FW190 fighter unit.

"Damn, it's a Huaxia fighter, it's a flying fox!" A JU88 bomber that was preparing to dive suddenly changed out of the descent path, and the nose of the bomber carrying the heavy bomb jumped upward, and the huge overload made the fuselage of the plane make a series of teeth-sour sounds. And all this stemmed from the alarm of the rear-firing machine gunner, and the figure that emerged from the clouds above was something that almost all German bomber pilots did not want to see. And more than one, 4 flying fox bombers swooped down from the flanks and rear in a formation of 4 fingers like people! The JU88 bomber, which had descended to an altitude of 2,800 meters, was in a dilemma: on the one hand, it could not climb, and on the other hand, it was somewhat high at an altitude and could not be detached with the help of ground cover.

"Drop all the bombs! Stop the bombing mission and run separately! "At this time, the fighters who were covering them didn't know where to go, and they stayed in a box formation to face the fox-bat fighters with rough skin and thick firepower, and they were looking for death." Maybe the other side will estimate our fighters and not dare to disperse too much, right? However, the gap between the ideal and the reality was too great, and the low-altitude and high-speed Foxbat fighters rushed up when most of the German bombers had just abandoned the bombs and had not yet turned, and the roar of the Sispano's cannons instantly resounded in the sky. THREE FIERY SNAKES INTERTWINED INTO A SCYTHE OF DEATH AND RUSHED TOWARDS A BOMBER THAT WAS TURNING, THE POWERFUL THIN-SHELLED BULLET EASILY SMASHED ONE WING INTO PIECES, THE PLANE ROLLED AND THREW DOWN, AND THIS WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING, THE FLYING BAT FIGHTER BIT A BOMBER THAT WAS SPEEDING AWAY AFTER LEVELING, HE BRAVELY FIRED AT THE 3 MACHINE GUNS AND THE 13MM MACHINE GUN IN THE REAR OF THE JU88. (It doesn't seem like it takes a lot of courage.) ）

The alternating shells fired by the three machine guns formed a funnel-shaped death zone, enveloping the entire tail of the bomber, and it was only a 10-second burst of fire, and dozens of shells dismantled the entire tail and the machine gun to pieces. The flames caused by the armor-piercing incendiary bomb spread along the tail to the front of the fuselage, "Don't worry about him, he can't go back!" Boynton looked at the bomber that was losing altitude and easily told the wingman who was about to replenish the gun on the radio.

"Eat alone, you are destined to live alone!" The wingman's dissatisfied words came from the headphones, and there was even a national curse mixed with it! However, Boyynton turned a deaf ear to the wingman's whining. The Americans are still very kind, although there are not many planes left, but as long as the American pilots are willing to participate in the war, then they can temporarily join the flight squadron in Huaxia, so as to make up for the lack of the number of Chinese fighter pilots, and like Boynton from the Italian War to the present, the flight time is more than 2000 hours, and the ace pilots who have fought no less than 50 long battles are naturally in demand, and Boyynton's requirements for coming to the Huaxia Air Force are only two points, the first is to give him a flying bat fighter, And the second is to never be a wingman!

At the same time that the bombers were killed, the German fighter units were not having a good time, they couldn't beat their opponents when they were fighting, and it was even more difficult to destroy their opponents after they dispersed! "These Foxbats are definitely the hardest planes in the world to shoot down!" A German pilot frustrated himself released the cannon button, then watched the flying fox fly away in front of him. He had been hit at least twice, and the two tails in the rear were riddled with bullet holes, but this guy just hadn't been knocked down, and even risking crashing up to 300 meters to get close to 300 meters and hit it didn't work, and when he flew past the other party, the hateful Huaxia pilot even made an apologetic cleanup for himself! This is a naked mockery! In an instant, the German pilot really wanted to crash into the other side and play with the other side.

However, compared with the gap in aircraft performance, the Germans paid more attention to battlefield perception, and the Huaxia Air Force grasped the timing of the attack very accurately, and they usually entered the battlefield from the rear hemisphere or when the German fighter unit was ready to return. The German pilots could clearly sense that the number of fighters on the other side was not very large, but the superiority of the Germans in strength did not translate into superiority on the battlefield.

However, the Luftwaffe still had some gains, that is, they found that the targets they had planned to attack were only a very small part of the opponent, and many experienced German bomber pilots became suspicious of the size of the enemy force after a mission. "It's hard for me to imagine that my target is just a supply point for a regimental combat unit, and when you look down from the plane, you can see all kinds of ants in the wilderness, and I probably estimate that there are at least 500 or so! And they also have quite a lot of anti-aircraft artillery for cover, and their density of fire is not inferior even to the average airfield! Although I am an air force, I also know that this level of anti-aircraft firepower is at least available to division-level units, and they are also equipped with anti-aircraft artillery radars, which make Huaxia's anti-aircraft artillery attacks extremely accurate, and 4 bombers in my squadron were shot down by these anti-aircraft guns, and 3 were damaged! Rudel reported the situation to his superiors as soon as he returned. But there is no turning back from the bow, the army has already thrown its arms, how can the air force stop at this time?

The air force on the Southern Front, which was already not strong enough, was quickly depleted, but even so, Brauchitsch still insisted on believing in the assault plan, but he still kept a hand, and he withheld five battalions of troops from the flanks as a general reserve, and when the heavy artillery units were in place, he launched a final attack. The largest armored battle between China and Germany during the entire war finally kicked off, with a total of about 6 divisions on both sides! And the number of tanks participating in the battle exceeded 1500!

The other two forces that were in charge of the attack drew a huge U-shape on the ground and rushed towards Hube like scythes. The Germans walked very crisply and decisively, rushing up like sharks smelling fish. The main forces of the German army in the rear of Hube finally caught up with a large amount of their heavy equipment, and long-range artillery of various calibers such as K18 was deployed to attack positions. The Germans moved quickly, but did not rush to attack, they began to form a huge ring of encirclement on the perimeter. Reconnaisance units and reconnaisance planes are constantly reconnoitring the deployment on the ground in China, and everything is preparing for tomorrow's decisive battle.

And Huaxia was not idle, and made the last deployment adjustment that night, and the tanks and wheeled combat vehicles that were originally located in the front were pulled to the back, replaced by anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns of various calibers and a small number of wheeled tank destroyers. Armored units were deployed behind the anti-aircraft artillery support points, while high-speed light units were deployed on both flanks. The Germans have a strong armored spearhead this time, there is enough mid-range support firepower, and the losses will be great if they hit hard, the Germans strengthened their frontal attack force to take advantage, while Huaxia considered attacking from multiple directions to disperse the opponent's firepower, the former is to improve combat effectiveness from the technical level, while the latter is to improve combat effectiveness from the tactical level, history and people have played a big joke, both sides learn from each other to perfect their tactics. In the original battle, the Huaxia was good at equipment technology, while the Germans were good at maneuver tactics!
