The arrival of night temporarily stopped the fighting that lasted for a whole day, but Smolensk, the largest base of the German army near Moscow, showed a lively atmosphere. Huge searchlights made the entire Smolensk brightly lit, and the Air Force Front , the aircraft fleet of General Kesselring's Second Air Force was undergoing final repairs. The continuous fighting caused heavy losses to the pilots and fighters of the Second Air Force. Maintenance crews are rushing to get their air force back into combat effectiveness.
The Gestapo of the SS, like the Air Force, are also making their own contributions to Lin Wei's actions. It is already late at night, and Heydrich, the second-ranking figure in the SS, still has not rested. He is wearing a heavy military coat and wearing full military gear. Heydrich, armed with only one head left, looked extremely funny, but he did not dare to joke in front of him. Unlike Lin Wei, Heydrich does not need anyone to challenge his authority at any time and anywhere, even if this person is the person he trusts most.
Perhaps feeling the cold weather, Heydrich rubbed his white-gloved hands, a contemptuous smile flashed under his handsome face, and he exhaled, "Marshal Bock didn't notice our Take action!" As he spoke, he stared at the warehouse not far ahead without blinking. This warehouse is where Heydrich stored chemical weapons according to Lin Wei's instructions. The huge iron door looks a little rusty, and there are still some bullet marks left on it from the Battle of Smolensk. The large warehouse that was once used as a grain depot is now used by the SS to store chemical weapons. I wonder if the Soviet Union The Red Army's supplies exploded and they recaptured this place, but they still dared to store food in the warehouse.
The huge iron door was pushed to both sides by the soldiers, and the pulleys below touching the ground made a sharp creaking sound. The sharp sound made people feel irritated. Walter Schmidt, the director of the General Administration of Justice who was next to Heydrich, said, "Deputy leader, please rest assured that the Wehrmacht does not yet have the power to figure out what we want!"
"That's good!" Heydrich ordered with an indescribable smile; "Tell the soldiers, don't take the wrong one! The leader is not ready to mobilize chemical weapons yet. If Kesselin discovers the dropped bomb, it will pop out." It’s not gasoline but poisonous gas that might cause trouble for us!”
"We understand this!" Walter Schmidt said solemnly. Although the thick iron door caused some minor troubles to the Gestapo, it could not stop the Soviet Red Army from being destined to be bombed. When the switch was turned on, the entire warehouse immediately became brightly lit. The bomb was marked with the same logo as the Skeleton Division. The skull indicates that this is a dangerous item. No one touched the bomb marked with a skull, but went to find what the SS needed now, napalm.
Soon, the sorted napalm bombs were loaded onto the vehicle one by one and transported to the Air Force warehouse five kilometers away from here. Although Heydrich's wasteful behavior made the Gestapo a little dissatisfied, no one dared to show it as his boss was watching. In fact, next to the Air Force warehouse, another group of Gestapo was already waiting there. They would check to make sure that no chemical bombs were loaded on the vehicle before releasing it.
The time for the Soviet Red Army's bombing of the Garden Ring Road was set at noon on October 25th, yes, noon. After attacking at a fixed time from nine to five every day, Lin Wei was tired of the rigid-minded German staff and forcibly postponed the attack to the afternoon. The real attack began in the afternoon after the bombing was completed.
After a good sleep, Lin Wei woke up feeling refreshed in the morning. After breakfast, Lin Wei asked his generals to go to his room, because for the upcoming attack, Lin Wei still felt that it was necessary to talk to him again. The division commanders took a breather, but they were still the same old faces. Crawford temporarily worked part-time as a staff officer, sitting and recording Lin Wei's words.
"What did the media around the world say about the Viking Division? By the way, what was Goebbels's reaction?" As soon as the meeting began, Lin Wei immediately asked a question that had nothing to do with the military, digressing as usual. Fortunately, Crawford had anticipated this situation and replied, "According to this morning's rest, the United States and the Soviet Union condemned the Empire and protested against the Empire's actions in disregard of the Geneva Convention. Your Excellency, Minister of Propaganda, will be held responsible." The whole blame is placed on the SS, and the explanation to the outside world is that the SS is not a regular force in Germany and cannot strictly demand them!"
"Protest? Condemn? Say something else! If protests and condemnations were useful, we wouldn't be sitting here anymore. We should have been friendly with Poland long ago! Establish friendly relations with the Czech Republic and continue to split into two countries with Austria!" Lin Wei sneered at the Soviet Union's reaction. Wasn't it true that the Soviet Union was always stubborn to the end? But it also let Lin Wei know that governments all over the world are equally shameless. No matter what, they must stand firm on justice. However, Goebbels's reaction was as expected by Lin Wei. This ass was not in vain. Lin Wei had already anticipated this, and it was reasonable for Goebbels to sell the SS.
"Today we will attack the Soviet Red Army's Garden Ring Road defense circle. Everyone knows it!" Lin Wei took a sip of tea and continued his style of chaining up the chain at critical moments. He almost finished the tea before everyone When everyone was feeling very uncomfortable waiting, he added, "Whether the entire Moscow battle can achieve the expected results and annihilate the three Soviet front armies depends entirely on whether we can stick the Soviet Red Army here! In order to make the Soviet Union full of hatred for us, we will not hesitate to Destroy us at all costs. Yesterday I personally ordered the Viking division to massacre three thousand prisoners of war. However, this is not enough. Stalin will not seek revenge from us for the lives of small soldiers! So if the attack goes well, you must spread the word and say The SS dug up Lenin's tomb, and I will let Stalin know later that I am in Moscow!"
The first words made several division commanders nod their heads, but Lin Wei's next words made several people frown. They looked at each other and looked around. Several division commanders, including General Paul and Hauser, all saw what the other party was thinking! My own leader seems to love using these dirty tricks too much. Admiral Paul Hausser said, "Leader, this is not good! During the war, although a certain amount of resourcefulness can play a role, the side with the greater overall strength will still win. Is what you say really useful?"
"It's obscene as long as it's obscene. It doesn't have to be called resourcefulness! As the general said, when you can use tricks, of course you should try your best to use tricks!" Lin Wei waved his hand and said. At that time, the war was backed by the country's strength. Lin Wei also knew that one or two measures would not be of much use. Lin Wei's response to this was to play with methods all the time and achieve his goals bit by bit. Purpose. And it must take a high-end route. Whatever Stalin taboos, Lin Wei will do.
"Today the Air Force will carry napalm bombs for bombing. The time will be around noon. It is completely different from our usual attack time. This is also to catch the Soviets off guard! Remember, we must evacuate those who are in contact with the Red Army before the Air Force bombs. "Lots of people, the power of napalm bombs is far from comparable to the semi-finished products during the British air battle. If ordinary soldiers are stained with solid gasoline that they cannot get rid of, don't doubt it, just take a gun and destroy yourself!" Lin Wei said seriously! He reminded his division commanders that in history, the United States bombed Tokyo and killed 100,000 people in one day. Two thousand tons of incendiary bombs achieved the same results as atomic bombs. Although this has a lot to do with Japanese wooden buildings, Lin Wei does not want his army to be harmed. This kind of bombing with a huge impact area will definitely kill a large number of ordinary people and is simply unavoidable. If Germany is defeated, it is estimated that Admiral Kesselring will definitely be tried, but as long as it can be defeated, a small air strike is naturally not a big problem.
"Admiral Paul and Howser, tell me what you think!" Lin Wei said.
Admiral Paul Hausser stood at attention and said, "According to estimates, the fire will end within two hours. This time should be around two o'clock in the afternoon. We still have one and a half hours of attack time. After this period It was getting dark, and we could only continue to wait. For this reason, we thought that we could not send out a large force to attack. The attack force consisted of four regiments of 9,000 people. The Imperial Division Heads of State Regiment and the Gendarmerie Division National Leadership Regiment were the main attacking forces. Try to concentrate as much as possible and not separate. It was like a steel nail driven hard into the concrete, tearing apart the defensive position of the Soviet Red Army!"
"Not bad, let's make some Arrancars! Very good!" Lin Wei clapped his hands and said the vocabulary that Admiral Paul and Hauser didn't understand. Seeing that Admiral Paul and Hauser couldn't understand, he immediately gave an explanation. Listen Paul & Hausser's continuous shouting is accurate.
"Generals, today will be the day to break the deadlock. We are going to burn Moscow. Long live the empire!" Lin Wei said solemnly.
"Long live the empire!" Although there were not many people, the voice was extremely powerful.
At this time in Smolensk, General Kesselring received a telegram from Göring, ordering the Air Force to cooperate with the SS attack and break the deadlock. The telegram emphasized napalm, telling Admiral Kesselin to burn Moscow to ashes without reservation. This is completely interfering with the frontline generals' operations, which is usually absolutely not allowed. However, Goering's focus is indeed what Lin Wei needs now. Lin Wei takes advantage of Goering's habit of pointing fingers and guides Goering to cooperate all the time. I have to say that the current results of my own actions are pretty good. Goering's biggest shortcoming in history has helped Lin Wei do a lot of things.
