Historically, when Germany attacked the Soviet Union, there were less than 4,000 tanks in total, and the number of the most powerful No. 3 and No. 4 tanks was seriously insufficient.

And now? The German offensive team has more than 20,000 tanks, and the Black Panther 3 tank is the main force and the Tiger tank is the elite. Compared with the past, the attack power has been greatly improved.

In the past, Guderian was unwilling to do so because he had so many troops under him. Now? The Central Army is equipped with the most powerful. It has two tank clusters, the second armored cluster is under its command of the 3, 17, 18th Armored Division and the 1st SS Armored Army, with a total of about 3,800 combat tanks.

The third armored cluster is under its jurisdiction of 7,14,20,12,19 Panzer Divisions and the SS 2nd Panzer Army, with a total of about 5,089 combat tanks.

Guderian was going south because he saw the fighter plane keenly. Manstein might have this idea, but he would not mention it because Manstein would think it was his shame.

As long as Guderian sent a second armored cluster in the south, nearly 4,000 tanks and hundreds of thousands of powerful troops, it would be enough to complete the mission of encircling Kiev with Manstein's existing troops.

The third armored cluster in Guderian's hand can still continue to move forward. The Soviets now hurriedly arranged several defense lines from Smolensk to Moscow, almost all second-line troops, and their combat effectiveness is very poor. Guderian relied on one of his armored clusters and five thousand tanks, which was enough to complete.

In this way, after surrounding the Kiev defenders and eliminating the threat from his flanks, the second armored cluster quickly returned to the rescue and could also catch up with the battle to siege Moscow.

At the same time, there is also a powerful Northern Legion, which is also advancing towards Moscow. What else can Guderian worry about?

This is also the reason for the deployment of troops.

The most powerful German army was the middle lane army, while the most powerful Soviet army was the Southwest lane army, so Guderian was unstoppable, while Manstein was constantly in trouble.

Cialek certainly knew that Guderian's proposal was not for the so-called military achievements, but for the sake of the empire. Since everything is not dangerous, what else can I worry about?

"After the Central Army Group took Smolensk, the Second Armored Cluster quickly moved south to assist Manstein and encircle and annihilate the Kiev defenders!"

With the issuance of this order, the fate of the Kiev defenders was destined. They would never have thought that the German army would suddenly appear in their rear. The so-called natural chasm of the Dnieper River was an absolute joke.

“In the occupied Ukraine, traffic was quickly restored and wide-gauge railways were transformed, so that our engineering team could create new miracles, lay the railway as soon as possible, and provide enough supplies to our front lines,” Sirik continued: “Before this, we can use our transport aircraft for transportation and increase supplies.”

The middle lane army fought very hard, because there was a wide-gauge railway, which was very convenient for material transportation and the southern lane was much more difficult. At this time, our strong air transport forces also needed to participate.

Cialek didn't know that with the mobilization of his own army, he actually successfully abolished a Soviet general.

Although they encountered difficulties, on the whole, Germany was still attacking, and the Soviets on the opposite side were also using all their strength for their survival.

Roy Folk, who jumped down from a thousand meters of air without a parachute, survived the situation of almost dying. After Roy rested in the hospital bed for a few days, his health improved and he began to train Soviet pilots with others. The first task was to meet with Soviet air force experts.

"In the past few days, we have conducted test flights on this aircraft. At medium and low altitudes, we found that the performance of the P-39 Flying Snake fighter is indeed good, but now, what we need most is not such an aircraft that can only dominate low altitudes. Our biggest threat is the German high-altitude bomber. If they throw such a terrible bomb at our city, we need to be able to stop it."

Rabkin, chief engineer of the Air Force Academy of Sciences, said to the Americans present: "We need high-altitude fighter jets. Can the engine of this aircraft be improved and equipped with a supercharger so that our aircraft can fly to an altitude of 12,000 meters."

After the test flights these days, they have become more firm in this view. The flight performance of this aircraft exceeds 6,000 meters has dropped significantly. If it continues to fly upward, it can only climb slowly and patiently, and it has no practical value.

Hearing the other party’s complaints, the American experts present shook their heads: “No, the space behind is too small, and there is no supercharger to be arranged.”

For the United States, since there is no mature Merlin engine to study, the United States has not thoroughly understood the high-altitude superchargers. The existing aircraft with superchargers are not enough to provide the United States with its own aircraft, so how could it be given to the Soviets?

The ones given to the Soviets were all for the United States. They were given to the Soviets as surplus materials. Although they could not be high altitudes, they did not mean that all the planes were at high altitudes. Aren’t those Stukas and those HS-129s all flew at ultra-low altitudes? You can fight those.

Seeing that the situation was going to be a mess, Roy joked: "I thought you should have complained that the cabin door of the plane could not be opened in the air and could not escape at all."

Roy wanted to ease the embarrassment with his American humor: "After all, not everyone will be as lucky as me."

However, his joke was useless, and Safonov, who was present, just replied: "That hatch is indeed a bit alternative, but we don't care."

Don't care? Roy asked curiously: "Why?"

"Because we can't jump," Safonov said: "As long as we fly the plane into the sky, we never thought of living, even if we hit, we would knock down the enemy's plane."

The scene became even more silent.

For the Americans, the war that took place across the ocean was just a topic of their meal. Although the war broke out between the United States and the island countries, it was at sea after all, and the impact was not wide.

In the Soviet Union, war was everywhere, and everyone was facing the test of life and death at any time.

Their fighting will is firm, and such pilots are worthy of respect, and they have won the praise of the United States.

"I think we can try it out and find information about Allison's engines. Maybe we can add superchargers to them in the Soviet Union." Finally, an expert from the United States made a statement.
