"Asshole! How dare that guy surrender? Half a million troops! Surrender without resistance for a day? " Khrushchev thumped the table and swore loudly. As soon as he issued the order of sticking to the end, almost half of the troops surrendered their weapons. This is hongguoguo's shame and provocation!
"Those troops in the encirclement do not have much ammunition. They are not our main force. They are all reserve forces assembled from Ukraine and Belarus. It is not surprising that they surrendered." Explained marshal voroshlov with a sigh.
He knew that the troops were not so unbearable, just because Moscow had been biased in dealing with the ethnic issues of Ukraine and Belarus over the years, which led to the growing hostility in these areas. Now that the troops in these areas have begun to collapse on a large scale, it is a good illustration of the popular opposition of the Soviet rule in these areas.
Now the German army is fighting back, and there has been a large-scale chaos in some areas. Once millions of troops on the front line begin to rout, will there be any problems in Ukraine and Belarus behind them? If you think about it a little, it will make voroshlov's head fight. He is a little envious of Zhukov in the Far East now. After all, it's much easier to deal with Japanese than German.
"This is a betrayal of comrade Lenin! This is a blasphemy against Comrade Stalin! " Khrushchev didn't feel better because of voroshlov's comfort. Instead, he became more tyrannical: "all the families of these people will be shot! The relatives of these people will be escorted to Siberia! They deserve to die! Surrender! Everyone's wife and children will be banished to the coldest place! It has to be done! The end of betraying the Soviet Union must be remembered by all. "
Marshal voroshlov wanted to tell Khrushchev that his order had almost moved all the Ukrainians to Siberia. However, voroshlov, who witnessed the great cleansing process, still did not have the courage to speak against Khrushchev. He just sighed and stopped expressing his opinions.
After cursing for a while, Khrushchev, perhaps tired of cursing, sat down in his chair and gasped. He thought of the German head of state he had met, of the young himself, and of the young akkado? Colonel Rudolph. If I could kill him at that time, wouldn't there be so many problems now?
"I'm sorry, I've been rude." Khrushchev finally spoke with difficulty, then leaned back on his chair and said with some chagrin: "now the battle on the front line is still going on, so we need to come up with a way to solve the problem that the front-line troops are cut in quickly by the German army."
After all, this is his field. Khrushchev is not so much a commander as a politician: "Comrade Khrushchev, in this situation, even God can't stop the rout."
He pointed to an area of the map and said with some frustration: "German armored forces have appeared in this area. Our troops here and here have been surrounded, and here and here are also very dangerous. They are retreating."
"Comrade Stalin is not allowed to retreat..." Khrushchev said tough.
"These forces are short of ammunition and supplies. Most of them have no anti tank weapons and can't deal with German tanks and armored vehicles. The 25th and 26th armies don't even distribute support weapons. Their bullets, machine guns and artillery are piled up at the railway station here. How do you make these troops resist? " Replied voroshlov.
The Soviet army is like an egg. The front-line offensive troops are the slightly hard shell of the egg, while the second-line troops follow up are the soft egg white and yolk. Once the hard egg shell is cracked by the German stone, the egg white and yolk will be even more vulnerable in front of the stone.
As for whether we can use the egg white and yolk behind to stop the German attack, as long as we are a little more rational, we all know that this is the impossible task. The Soviet Union is now doomed to collapse, just to what extent. As for the support and materials agreed by the Soviet Union and the United States, most of them have not yet been shipped.
"Comrade Stalin is not allowed to retreat!" Khrushchev stressed it again.
Voroshlov then remembered that the comrade Khrushchev in front of him was just a minion. What was really difficult was the great God far away in the Kremlin. Even if he has a good reason now, when Stalin thinks it's not right, voloshlov's fate will be the same as that of Marshal Tukhachevsky.
So he said to Khrushchev with fear: "now we can't hold the position at all. If we don't allow the troops to retreat, it will cause mutiny! Those Ukrainians and Belarusians are unreliable. Once there is a problem, we will collapse faster. "
"Kill the surrender's wife and children! Then let everyone know that betraying Comrade Stalin is a dead end! If anyone surrender! His parents are going to be hanged Khrushchev said fiercely, "go and give orders! Let the troops not step back! Or shoot them! "
In fact, all these things have been done, but the troops are still collapsing, the defense lines are still being broken through, and the most important thing is that those troops who should surrender are still surrendering, which has not played a part. After all, today's war is different from the first World War. At that time, people only had rifles in their hands. After fighting, they had courage and strong suppression, which could stabilize the morale of the army and maintain its combat effectiveness. But now, these methods are useless at all. No matter how firm the belief is, there is no way to face each other's iron and steel flood with flesh and blood. No matter how brave the soldiers are, there is no way to defeat each other's machine guns and tanks with courage. Countless unarmed Soviet soldiers squatted on both sides of the road, allowing German tanks and armored vehicles to rumble before their eyes, while they could only hold their heads in their hands and were escorted to the rear by several German soldiers with guns. It's not that these Soviet soldiers don't want to run away, or they don't want to resist, but no matter who they are, the seven soldiers on the Crusader helicopter who saw their escaped and resisted companions being driven to suppress. The 92mm machine gun is a sieve, which will also suppress the heart to escape or resist, right? As a result, thousands of Soviet soldiers were captured by the German army. In some areas, because of too many captives, the offensive troops had to stop to take in the prisoners. A large number of captives affected the German logistic supply. The Soviet soldiers crowded on both sides of the road even mixed with the advancing German soldiers. The Red Army of the Soviet Union lost 2 million troops in two days. More than 1.5 million of them surrendered after being surrounded by the German army or were captured unprepared. There were about 100000 casualties due to offensive operations, and the remaining 400000 collapsed because they could not resist the German offensive. In fact, the losses of the Soviet Red Army in the battle were not great, but because of the chaotic logistic support and the wrong tactical arrangement, the Soviet Red army suffered an astonishing loss of millions of troops in two days. The defeated troops fought against each other and broke into the mountains. They did not dare to return to the army system for fear of being punished by the law enforcement team, and they did not dare to surrender to the German army for fear of implicating their families. So tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers disappeared on paper. At the same time, the international situation of the Soviet Union has also become less optimistic. Although the United States has promised to secretly support the Soviet Union, this kind of covert support has not been reflected in the intuitive grass-roots changes for a moment. On the contrary, the rival Germany seems to have more than doubled overnight. In the past day, the Soviet Union seems to have become a country resented by the whole world. 36 hours after the war between the Soviet Union and Germany, Italy, as Germany's most solid ally, declared war on the Soviet Union. Mussolini delivered a speech entitled "the red devil peeps at the European continent", declaring that the steel axis has the obligation to ensure that the capitalist world is not attacked by Stalin, the Soviet devil. Then Vichy France declared war on the Soviet Union. Marshal bedang announced that he would provide steel and other materials to the allies who fought against the invasion of the Soviet Union, and did not rule out the possibility of direct intervention. Subsequently, Romania also raised the banner of fighting against the Soviet invasion. Nearly 500000 Romanian troops and 50000 German troops in Romania were ready to fight back against the Soviet invaders at any time. Of course, the "leader" of Romania, Antonescu, had his own plan. He hoped to take back the territory of Eastern Romania that had been occupied by the Soviet Union. Interestingly, then the British Churchill government declared war on Romania, and Romania officially entered the Second World War. However, the Scottish regime in the northern mountains of Britain announced the formal establishment of diplomatic relations with Romania, and the British Embassy in Romania announced the recognition of Scotland and Britain for its own security“ I will organize the counterattack here and here. The troops around here, including the troops near this village called tubos, are the first group of guards. They still have combat power. " Marshal voroshlov pointed to the map and said: "if we can stop the German army from advancing near the village of turkos, then at least we still hope to stop the German army from entering Belarus and Ukraine before the German army completely occupied Poland."“ You'd better stop the German army from entering Belarus and Ukraine! Otherwise, there will be a real mess! " Khrushchev was staring at the map with a cold sweat on his forehead.
