Chapter 587 Scam


    Colonel Fred and his subordinates had a great time that night. They swooped down again and again with their fighter nes, destroying the Russian amphibiousnding ships again and again. In just two hours, there were everywhere on the Volga River. It was the wreckage and debris of the amphibiousnding craft and the burning ship drifting on the river.


    Good news spread from the pilots to Colonel Fred''s headquarters one after another, and there were cheers from the pilots one after another:


    "I took out another target!"


    "I can''t count how many times this is, but I can guarantee that my victory will break the record tonight!"


    "Me too, but they are as numerous as ants, and they can''t be beaten!"


    …


    Of course Colonel Fred doesn''t care about these things, he cares more about the battle damage ratio.


    However, he is not dissatisfied in this aspect, because only two fighter nes have been lost so far tonight, one was hit by enemy anti-aircraft artillery, and the other plunged into the river without controlling the height properly.


    The pilot of thetter will definitely not be able to survive, flying at high speed and plunged into the river, not to mention being drowned or blown to death, no one can bear the momentum.


    Although the former pilot parachuted, the ne flew to the east bank of the Volga River at thest moment... The east bank is an area controlled by the Russians. It is conceivable that the pilot will probably nevere back.


    Therefore, Colonel Fred also gave the pilot a warning: "Once your fighter ne is hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire, you should pull the ne as far as possible to the west bank of the Volga River before parachuting! Otherwise, I think it would be better to die with the ne." choose!"


    The subordinateughed: "Maybe some people like to see the snow scene in Siberia!"


    It was no secret to the German army that the Russians sent prisoners of war to Siberia to do hardbor.


    In particr, Germany’s hype about this aspect also helps to boost its morale...Let all soldiers know what will happen when they are captured by the Russians, so they would rather choose to die in battle than be a prisoner.


    However, the losses of these two fighter nes and pilots are obviously insignificantpared with the results they achieved, because so far they have confirmed that they have destroyed 35 ships.


    35 ships?


    Colonel Fred felt a little strange. At this time, the Russians should have stopped the transportation as before, but they didn''t do so.


    Then the phone rang, and it was Paulus.


    "How''s the situation, Colonel?" Paulus asked.


    "Everything is under control, General!" Fred replied: "We have confirmed the destruction of fifty-one amphibiousnding ships!"


    Although the German army is well-trained, there is a bad atmosphere, that is, there is a serious exaggeration from top to bottom. They will get used to exaggerating their achievements to show their merits, even the "Desert Fox" Rommel did not exception.


    This was not a big problem in the early days when the German army won many battles, but in the middle andte stages... these falsely reported results often affect the uracy of the mid- and upper-levelmanders'' judgments on the battle situation.


    Exaggerating 35 ships to 51 ships like Fred can be said to be a conscience.


    "51 ships?" Paulus asked suspiciously, "Have they still not stopped shipping?"


    "No, General!" Fred replied, "I think they must have prepared a lot of amphibiousnding ships!"


    After a moment of silence, Paulus said: "No, Colonel, I don''t think that''s the case!"


    "I don''t understand you, General!"


    "Colonel, we should put things in context!" said Paulus. "If the Russians have so many amphibiousndings, why didn''t they go into use a few days ago? I mean, before we found them using When the amphibiousnding ships are transporting, they should put all the amphibiousnding ships and do everything possible to transport crazy!"


    Fred understood what Paulus said, and immediately knew that Paulus was right.


    The reason is very simple: Two days ago, the Russian military used amphibiousnding ships to transport it waspletely safe, because the German army did not know, of course they would not intercept it with fighter nes or artillery fire.


    At the same time, Stalingrad is short of supplies, so the Russian army should use as many amphibiousnding ships as they have.


    In other words, the amphibiousnding ships seen by Fred and other pilots that day are the real number owned by the Russian army.


    "General, you mean to say..."


    "Are you sure it''s an amphibiousnding ship?" Paulus asked.


    "I don''t know, but my men saw theme ashore, I mean...they crossed the sandbar!"


    "That may be their deception n!" Paulus shook his head and said, "Those amphibiousnding ships that didn''t really go ashore may just be modified with sidecars or something else!"


    Then Colonel Fred understood.


    "These damned Russians!" said Colonel Fred. "No wonder they keep transporting after we''ve destroyed so many targets!"


    Immediately Colonel Fred asked again: "But what purpose do they have in doing this?"


    "Supply, Colonel Fred!" Paulus sighed: "They are systematically consuming our supplies. If we continue to fight like this, we will run out of fuel reserves tomorrow, which means we will only have to I can just watch them transport!"


    Although the bullets and bombs used by fighter nes are alsorge, they are insignificantpared to the fuel required by fighter nes... Bullets and bombs can beunched when they see the target, but the fuel consumption is generated as soon as the fighter jet engine starts.


    In addition, it is not only the night aviation regiment that needs fuel, but also the aviation team responsible for daytimebat, as well as reconnaissance nes, transport nes, etc. All they need are aviation fuel.


    Fred couldn''t help but wiped his sweat secretly when he heard the words, and then asked: "So, what should we do, General?"


    "Anyway!" Paulus said: "What we are doing now is meaningless. It cannot stop the enemy''s transportation, but it consumes a lot of resources of our army! So, stop the interception operation immediately!"


    "Yes, General!"


    As a result, the sky over the Volga River quickly became quiet.


    It was also a battle between the fighter nes and thending ship, and the fighter nes also won a big victory, butst night and tonight got twopletely different results: the former ended with the suspension of the Soviet army''s transportation, and thetter ended with the German army''s cessation of bombing Finish.


    As soon as the German army stopped bombing, the Soviet army immediately mixed real amphibiousnding ships into the transport team.


    "Don''t mix in too many!" Shulka confessed: "Twenty ships are mixed in for each transportation line, and the Germans may attack suddenly!"


    "Yes!" Andrianka responded, and immediately conveyed the order.


    This also means that the supply of Stalingrad has returned to normal.
