The battlefields on both the east and west fronts were engaged in bitter fighting at the same time. This was an unprecedented challenge for the Third Reich.

Mustache's original plan was to abandon Sicily on the Western Front, preserve the strength of the troops as much as possible, and protect Mussolini's Italy.

The Allies' Operation Mincemeat was a huge success. Mustache was completely deceived. He thought the enemy's landing point would be in Greece, but he never expected it to be Sicily.

Since he was at a disadvantage at the beginning, it was not particularly difficult for Mustache to give up Sicily.

As long as one of the two fronts, East and West, can achieve relative success, Mustache will be very satisfied.

But what made Mustache angry and desperate was that he gave up Sicily on the Western Front and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the battlefield on the Eastern Front.

However, the situation on the Eastern Front battlefield not only did not improve, but was completely defeated.

Marshal Bock arrived in Rostov to save the veteran, but he could only rescue a few thousand people at most. The main force of the 17th Army had been surrounded by the Bolsheviks.

Judging from the current intelligence, the commander of the 17th Army, General Stipnagel, also seems to be planning to surrender.

Manstein and Guderian's breakout operation has begun, and Mustache's preparations for this will all be sent to the battlefield.

The most optimistic outcome on the Eastern Front battlefield is to be able to rescue Manstein and Guderian, as well as tens of thousands of German soldiers.

It is impossible for the Eleventh Army and the Second Armored Army to retreat intact.

Mustache listened nervously to the battle reports from the front line, always paying attention to the situation after the V2 missile took off.

The warhead of the V2 missile is equipped with 1,000 kilograms of high explosives. When it explodes, it can release huge energy and level everything around it.

If 200 v2 missiles attack the Chinese defense line, they will definitely be able to rescue Manstein and Guderian.

This is one of the trump cards prepared by Mustache.

Another trump card was the 5th SS Division, which consisted of 20,000 robot-like Nazi soldiers.

'As long as Manstein and Guderian can be rescued, Army Group South has not completely failed.'

Mustache kept comforting himself in his heart.

Shortly after the missile took off, Wolfsburg received reports from radar stations in the rear:

"Enemy aircraft group discovered!"

The fat and bloated Air Marshal Göring frowned and said to the Führer:

"Judging from the air targets captured so far, it is obvious that the enemy intends to carry out a comprehensive air strike."

"Kiev, Minsk, Tallinn and other places on the front line have been bombed. All the fighter planes that can take off have taken off and are fighting the Chinese side, but the situation is very bad."

"There are more enemy bomber groups coming north and east. They fly over the Baltic Sea and attack Stockholm, Copenhagen, Warsaw and Berlin."

"Führer, one formation is even heading directly towards the Wolf's Lair. In an hour or two, major cities in the rear will be attacked by air."

SS leader Himmler gritted his teeth and said:

"This will be the largest air raid on major cities in the rear since the war began!"

"They must be stopped and the enemy bombers must not be allowed to reach Wolf's Lair and Berlin smoothly!"

Everyone present knows that China's air raid carries more political significance.

Once bombers were allowed to bomb Berlin, the Allies would definitely publicize it.

At the same time, it will also arouse suspicion and doubt among the domestic people, and many people will become panicked all day long.

The boss with a mustache is still very clear. He sees the enemy's intentions and knows the consequences of the bombing.

After digesting the news over and over again, he asked somewhat unhappily:

"Do we have that many aircraft to intercept the enemy's bomber formation? If we do, do it immediately!"

Air Marshal Göring glanced at everyone, and finally said truthfully to Mustache:

"Führer, in the last air battle, the air force on the Eastern Front suffered heavy losses."

"At the same time, we are also aware of the gap between the Stormbird fighter and the Chinese jet fighter, and are making improvements."

"The enemy dispatched at least eight bomber formations of varying sizes."

"And these bombers must be escorted by fighter jets. Ordinary propeller fighter jets can't do anything to them, so they can only rely on the Stormbird."

"But we don't have enough Stormbirds to intercept all enemy formations, so we can only choose to intercept some of them, up to four directions."

The corner of the mustache's mouth twitched. He had expected this and said:

"You go ahead and make arrangements, I don't want to see a bomb fall on Berlin!"

"Yes, Head of State!"

This matter had just been arranged, and when the time was approaching 9 o'clock in the evening, Chief of Staff Keitel took the telegram with an ugly face and said:

"Führer, colleagues, General Stipnagel of the 17th Army sent a telegram saying that in order to save the lives of his soldiers, he will soon surrender to the Bolsheviks!"

This is not very unexpected news, after all, no one can help the 17th Army.

A group army withstands the attack of hundreds of thousands of enemies. Even if it is solid as a rock, it still has to endure the fate of being completely torn apart.

It’s hard to support a tree alone!

Everyone looked at Mustache and saw that he was unusually not angry. He waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry about the 17th Army, save Manstein and Guderian first!"

Manstein and Guderian were the signatures of the Third Reich's new army. Both of them had profound attainments in the study of strategy, tactics and military combat methods.

Must be saved!

…………

The desperate charge of Guderian's three armored divisions put huge pressure on the Sixth Corps and the Young Guards defense forces on the front.

Because it was a dark night, the disparity in firepower between the two sides was narrowed.

The desperate charge of the three armored divisions was not chaotic, and the tactical coordination between them was very deft.

A simple summary is that the German soldiers are not here to bury their lives, but to save their own lives while opening a gap.

It is essentially different from the Japanese onboard charge.

As a result, the Chinese army becomes very difficult to defend.

This is a brutal blocking battle, not a simple harvest of heads.

At the height of the fighting, the order suddenly reached the Sixth Corps and the Young Guards company and battalion level:

Abandon the position and retreat immediately to both flanks.

The officers and soldiers who were fighting vigorously were full of doubts about this order, and many people began to hesitate.

In such a tense time, it is a normal order to stick to the end.

retreat?

This is really strange.

The officer's doubts caused the defense line to waver, and Guderian's attack became more violent.

In less than a minute, the second order came to the front line, which was exactly the same as the first order.

Now no officer had any doubts. He gave up all frontal positions and took the wounded and equipment with him, leaving no force behind!

Soon there was not even a single person to be seen on the position, only the wood that had been ignited by the artillery fire was crackling and burning.

All the troops on the front were retreating, so after three to five minutes, a gap five to six kilometers wide appeared in front of Guderian.

The officers and soldiers resolutely carried out the command's orders, but they were still confused.

When they retreated to the rear and bent over to catch their breath, they suddenly felt something unusual in the northwest sky, and countless people raised their heads in unison.

When they raised their heads, everyone's eyes showed expressions of wonder and shock.

I saw that the sky in the northwest was filled with light, and countless meteor showers were lining up and flying towards me at high speed.

The meteor shower was continuous, and the bright fire even outlined a river of meteors in the sky.
