Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 883 The German-Soviet War (120)

"Damn it." Eisenhower paced back and forth in the underground office in frustration, smoking the pipe in his hand one after another, inhaling and spitting out. He was already a heavy smoker, and after coming here he never left his pipe.

These days, the expeditionary forces are not having an easy time. Since the Soviet Far East suddenly rebelled and fell to Germany, their retreat has been completely cut off. Even if they want to return to the United States, it is impossible. What's even more speechless is that the weapons and equipment stranded in the Far East have also been swallowed up by those damn rebels (what he doesn't know is that these weapons and equipment have been taken away by the Germans). Now most of the U.S. infantry equipment on the front line What they used were the Soviet Mosin Nagant rifles and old-fashioned wooden handle grenades; the tank crews drove junk tanks like T-26, KV-1, and 2. Many tank crews would rather pick up rifles and serve as infantry. Don't want to drive this crap. Only the pilots were better. After all, they drove the fighter jets directly, and there was no separate transportation of man and machine. But without follow-up support parts, once these fighter jets need overhaul, they will be scrapped. By then, I am afraid they will have to fly Soviet fighter jets. But these damn Soviets are unwilling to hand over the latest production of advanced fighters such as MiG-5 and Yak-7 to American pilots. They only allocate those backward MiG-1, 3, Yak-3, 4 and other models to the US military. Pilots, angry American pilots cursed their mothers one after another.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so Eisenhower simply walked out of the office. "Come up and get some air." This place was dozens of meters deep underground. Although the air circulation system was operating normally, he still felt a little breathless.

He and his adjutant took the elevator to the subway station, which was 20 meters above the ground. Because this was an important government location, there were no civilians taking refuge nearby, only soldiers standing guard every few meters. Following the stairs to the subway entrance, there was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the air. The German bombing can be said to be non-stop day and night. Recently, it seems to be for training night bombing. Night bombing is more frequent than day bombing.

However, what is puzzling is that even though the whole city of Moscow is under light control, and even the searchlights of the anti-aircraft gun positions are not turned on, the German bombers can accurately find the target every time, and even drop bombs directly without throwing flares first. And these bombs will fall accurately into Moscow.

It seems that the Germans have come up with something that can accurately determine the position at night?

Looking at the broken eaves and walls in the distance, Eisenhower sighed deeply. Presumably Washington today is similar to here. I heard that the Germans dropped a large number of incendiary bombs on New York City last time, almost burning the entire city to the ground, and causing countless casualties.

"I don't know how the defensive positions on the front line are being built." Zhukov is responsible for building defensive positions outside Moscow, hoping that these defensive positions will be stronger.

"I'm afraid it's too much." The adjutant beside him also sighed. "Even if France's Maginot Line is built, it won't be able to stop the German attack." Construction of France's Maginot Line began in 1928 and was basically completed in 1940. It was a huge project costing 5 billion francs. There was not even a year left for the Soviets. After half a year at most, the German army would launch its final offensive in the spring of next year.

That would be a decisive battle that would determine the fate of the Soviet Union and the United States. Once Germany completely defeated the Soviet Union, it would definitely point its troops at the United States.

Compared with the sluggish Soviet Union and the United States, Europe is in a jubilant atmosphere, especially these days are Germany's Oktoberfest.

In October 1810, the grand celebration of the German Oktoberfest was held to celebrate the wedding of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Hils of Saxony. Since then, Oktoberfest has remained as a traditional folk festival in Bavaria.

Just like Russians regard vodka as their life, Germans regard drinking as a "compulsory course" every day, and various pubs, wine houses, and inns are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Munich alone, with a population of 1 million, has more than 3,000 beer halls that are packed every day. Almost everyone who steps into a pub orders at least half a liter of beer to go with their meal, but the most common order is a liter. Therefore, "one liter" can be said to be a "unit of measurement" in Munich and throughout Bavaria. There is also a popular local proverb, "Drink one liter a day in moderation, and you will be in good health." People don’t just drink when they eat, they drink almost anytime and anywhere. There are "beer parks" almost all over Germany. As soon as the sun comes out, people flock to the beer parks to enjoy nature.

Nowadays, the war situation is very good, and this year's Oktoberfest is even more lively. The whole of Europe is in a carnival.

There was also a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere on the front line. A transport truck stopped at a company camp, and the driver stuck out his head and shouted several times. "Captain Simon, Captain Simon. Your supplies have arrived!"

Hearing the sound, an officer walked out of a tent not far away, walked to the cab, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the driver. "What good stuff is there today?" He waved his hand towards the camp and called a few soldiers to carry the supplies on the truck.

The driver lit a cigarette. "Today is something good, authentic Liberian ham and dark beer."

At this time, a troop transport truck came from a distance and parked next to them. "Captain Simon, the machine gunners added to your company have arrived." He shouted towards the car behind him. "This is the 19th Company. Get off the train when you report to the 19th Company." Then nine recruits carrying RPK machine guns jumped out of the trunk.

After saying hello, the troop truck continued to its next destination. The driver on the side couldn't help but wonder. "So many machine gunners? Wouldn't there be two machine guns in each squad?"

"Yes." Captain Simon nodded and casually assigned the nine machine gunners to nine squads. "Our military's firepower now ranks first in the world."

The organization of the German squad in World War II in the original time and space was a squad leader, a machine gun team (main and deputy machine gunners, plus an ammunition hand), and six ordinary infantrymen.

Among them, the weapons carried by the squad leader were 98K and 1P38/40 submachine guns at first, and later equipped with STG44; while the machine gun team was equipped with MG32 in the early stage and MG42 in the later stage; and most of the other soldiers were equipped with 98K rifles.

Today, the firepower configuration of the German front-line troops is one MG3 machine gun, four G43s, two AKMs, and one SVD; now there is an additional RPK machine gun.

This firepower is several times greater than the original time and space.

The driver couldn't help but sigh. "Oh, it's amazing. If we had half this firepower in the last war, Europe would have been unified long ago."
