Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This caused a lot of discussion among the German 10th Army Headquarters and the army generals below. They all said that Goering was frightened by the yellow-skinned monkeys of the Allied Air Force. Many people clamored for General Wilhelm Greiner to report to Berlin.  , requesting the removal of the commander of the 1st Fighter Wing, because G?ring, the former ace, has been beaten into a coward and rookie by the Chinese

    In addition to seizing the time to accept the newly reinforced fighter squadron these days, Goering spends the rest of his time leading a FokkeIII fighter squadron to continuously patrol and intercept the reconnaissance aircraft of the Allied Air Force in the north and east of Kiev.  He tried to make an emergency landing and capture a coalition's latest metal-cased monoplane two-seat fighter-bomber. It is said to be the Chinese FR18 Excellent fighter-bomber independently developed, designed and produced by the Chinese

    But it is a pity the coalition reconnaissance planes that appeared outside Kiev are basically DH4 bi-wing reconnaissance fighters, and they are never alone The limited jihus of both sides failed to form a battle. The coalition reconnaissance planes are very alert, and if there is any sign that something is wrong,  He turned around and evacuated, and even pounced down several times from mid-to-high altitudes on the opponent's entire SE5 fighter squadron ambushing on the clouds

    Obviously, the Allied Air Force is also trying to avoid the enemy. It does not intend to go deep into Kiev to provoke the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground, and it does not want to give Hermann Wilhelm Goering a chance to regain the field with fighting skills This makes Hermann Wilhelm Goering very a little bit.  Frustrated Several times he even suspected the trap set by the opponent, waiting for a group fight to kill him In this case, Hermann Wilhelm Goering decided not to act rashly seize the time to continue to run in and become familiar with the troops  If we want to dispatch, we need to dispatch a large fleet of aircraft A piecemeal war of attrition obviously won't work!

    Goering was able to assemble 6 fighter squadrons with all his weapons in hand, but during the air battle on July 28, the opponent directly flew out more than 200 fighter planes from two directions. The coalition forces invested at least 2 or more fighter squadrons in Fujian, the battlefield in Eastern Ukraine.  , and the performance of the aircraft is even higher than that of the German Fokker series aircraft. The only advantage of the German fighter wing is the combat experience of the pilots and the skills of formation combat, but it does not have the upper hand in terms of quantity and aircraft performance This made Goering  Become more calm and cautious!

    The German Air Force cannot afford to lose a second large-scale air battle over Ukraine If it loses again, regardless of whether G?ring and his plane are shot down, it is highly likely that this ace pilot's military career will end

    "Until we have a clear understanding of the strength of the coalition air force deployed in the Ukrainian battlefield, the 1st Fighter Wing will not easily leave Kiev and enter Eastern Ukraine to fight This is recognized by General William Greiner and Berlin My people  The number of missions in the past few days has been much higher than before the war, but the coalition air force refused to approach Kiev. We tried several times to lure the enemy into a deep ambush but failed When the enemy's situation is unclear blindly dispatching is not worth the gain.  The coalition's fighter planes are better than ours in terms of quantity, quality and performance. Do you want the German aces to be defeated by the rookies? "

    Hermann Wilhelm Goering did not take Lieutenant General von Kusmani's doubts too seriously. Although the other party was the lieutenant general of the 27th Army, the main infantry force of the 10th Army, he could not control his fighter wing.  Captain, the German Army Air Force has its own command system. It is true that the Air Force cooperates with the Army Ground Forces in operations, but it does not accept the direct command of the Army Ground Forces generals!

    Of course Goering did not retort. He said that the German Army could not fight without the support of the aviation force. He did not dare to say it casually, otherwise he would offend a room full of generals of the 10th Army

    "Captain, please be careful" Emil Herr, chief of staff of the 10th Army, reminded the unpopular German ace fighter captain with a stern face. Goering shrugged helplessly, closed his mouth and stopped talking to Feng Ku.  Lieutenant General Smani's provocation He gritted his teeth secretly in his heart. He must win back the honor of the German Air Force and the glorious 1st Fighter Wing from the Allied Air Force with an overwhelming victory!

    "Is it true that General von Francois's condition cannot continue to command the battle of the Kharkov Group? Your Excellency, Commander, I think that Major General von Neuhaus has obviously betrayed the trust placed in him by the Army Headquarters, and is now preparing infantry  The 47th Division suffered heavy casualties. In this case, is it a wise decision to let the major general act as the battlefield commander of the group? Major General von Siegfiss of the 48th Infantry Division and Major General von Woodford of the 49th Infantry Division are no better than Feng in terms of experience and qualifications.  Neuhaus difference"

    The commander of the 27th Infantry Corps, von Kusmani, shifted the focus from Captain Goering who was present to Major General Sven von Neuhaus who was far away in Yekaterinoslav. The commander of the main infantry corps  It seems that Major General Sven von Neuhaus may be able to properly command a reserve infantry division in combat, but he definitely does not have the experience and ability to command a corps plus a bunch of Ukrainian troops. The final result of the Battle of Kharkov proved  at this point.

    The lieutenant general¡¯s words aroused whispers from the generals of the 10th Army present. In fact, these generals and FengSmanni did not pay attention to the combat effectiveness of the Allied forces on the Eastern Front. Of course, Hermann von Francois, who commanded the 29th Reserve Infantry Corps stationed on the front line of Kharkov in Yekaterinoslav  He will be a veteran who created an impressive record in the Battle of Tannenberg a few years ago, but he is obviously very old now. At least he has made mistakes in hiring and recognizing people. The division commander under him, von Neuhaus, is not good at all.  Have the ability to command large corps in defensive operations!

    "Your Excellency, Commander, Chief of Staff, why not let the Chief of Staff of the 29th Infantry Army, Joseph von Dietrich, take over the position of the general and command the 29th Army to fight in the Kharkov area?" Pagoda, the Chief of Staff of the 29th Infantry Army,  Maj. Gen. Ruth von Baloui asked what most people were thinking.

    Major General Emile Herr, the chief of staff of the group army, turned his attention to the commander of the group army, General Wilhelm Greiner. Only the general himself could explain this problem. To be honest, Emil Herr even volunteered to go to Yeka for Greiner.  Telinoslav cleaned up the mess, but was rejected by the general. Could it be that Berlin was ready to give up Eastern Ukraine?  !

    "Silence! Look what you have become? Are you still a strict German? You have almost turned this high-level military meeting into a vegetable market Major General Sven von Neuhaus remains as the agent of the Kharkov cluster  Commander, it's my decision!
