These Soviet troops lacked tanks and other heavy equipment, because most of those heavy equipment were abandoned in Poland. It was almost a month since the war started. During this period, the German troops destroyed and captured no less than 6000 Soviet tanks, which exceeded the total number of German Eastern armored forces.
Of course, most of these tanks are out of date BT and T-26 tanks, and there are also many faulty tanks abandoned by the Soviet Union. Counting in, more than half of the captured tanks are just putting money on their own faces. It's really a bit of a boast. What can you show off when you capture T-26 with Tiger tanks? You want to be shameless?
In this huge encirclement, including Russian troops, there are at least 400000 regular troops. If the temporarily mobilized troops are included, almost 600000 Soviet Red Army troops have nowhere to escape. The Soviet Union's counterattack plan was broken by the fast attacking goodrian before it started. Timoshinger, the supreme commander of the encircled Soviet army, is still in the north and has not arrived at the front line of Kiev! Kiev is completely surrounded by the German army.
Goodrian stood up, put his hand on the map hanging on the wall, and carefully looked at every village and every town. These places are almost in the bag of the German army now. According to the plan, as long as these troops are annihilated, the Soviet Union will almost accept the German peace treaty.
By that time, Britain, the only one who refused to accept the peace talks, had been beaten to pieces. Moreover, there was a naval contest over there, which would not arouse the resistance of the domestic people. Germany would enter a relatively stable period of development. First, it would cast a plough as a sword to fight in all directions, and then cast a sword as a plough to usher in peace in mananshan, This is definitely the most glorious time for a general.
Who wants a real general to die? Who really wants to return home? Those generals who chant such sad slogans are just in an endless dark environment. If they can really become famous and show their glory, they will be remembered and praised by the whole nation. Who doesn't want to swallow mountains and rivers with millions of troops?
Goodrian felt that he was worth it. He watched Soviet towns conquered one by one and felt that his life was worth it. If it wasn't for akado's appreciation and promotion, his armored forces theory might still be a poor document on paper. If it wasn't for akado's promotion, he would be a poor colonel or major general at most. Maybe every day I think about how to resist the provocations and insults of foreign troops. Where can I command hundreds of thousands of troops to fight with the enemy in the vast territory of the enemy country?
Twenty years, twenty years to sharpen a sword! Germany walked out of the shadow of defeat in 1919. In 20 years, it swept Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, France and Britain. It stood on the plain of Ukraine and fought to the death with the Soviet Union. Winning the world has long been a dream. The head of state has given him such a general trend of the world. How can he not repay the head of state with a hundred battles and victories?
"Long live the Fuehrer!" An officer went to the door and knocked, interrupting goodrian's imagination. He's here to deliver the documents, the latest information just sent from the front line.
"Next time you knock on the door and come in, shout the name of the head of state. Don't be so casual." Goodrian, the officer, was surprised and nodded. This kind of thing is naturally a matter of great concern to all of us. It's a great honor for this army to decide which army is the first to get out of this kind of superhero.
Besides, 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion is definitely an ace to the extreme force. Almost two-thirds of the tank car captains of this force have their own iron cross medals. These car captains are drawn out to stand in a row. They are young and handsome. It is estimated that taking a group photo will definitely make the girls scream more than taking a group photo of the Italian football team.
Of course, it's one thing to scream and be crazy, and it's not necessarily a step further. After all, you can't imagine how thick an Italian star's thighs are, or how thick the oil smell of the German Panzer is. However, this does not affect the fact that they are in a mess after taking black and white photos.
Then goodrian's staff began to call the railway transportation department, hoping to prepare trains to transport 5000 Ukrainian skilled workers and corresponding technical equipment to Warsaw, Poland. And we need to find ways to make room for these real "strategic resources.".
Under the command of goodrian and Keitel, the German soldiers of G group army and E group army on the front line soon completed the task of reinforcing the encirclement. The hope of the Soviet troops to break through the encirclement became more and more dim. Before arriving at the front line to take over the command, timoshinger became a loner without seeing his own troops, which made him even have the ability to communicate with heaven, There's no way to save your men.
What timoshingo, who had wanted to fight against goodrian and Keitel, is now reduced to the work of logistics officers, such as gathering the rout troops, improving the defense line, and asking for guns from Khrushchev and marshal voroshlov. He could only watch the 600000 troops in the siege of Kiev go nowhere.
What is more tragic is that he also prayed that the German army would not take the opportunity to attack Moscow, because the troops in his hand were not enough to stop the German army, his troops were too few, and his defense line was too long.
Meanwhile, in Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, Stalin was exasperated by the fall of Kiev's industrial zone. The cooperation with Germany in those years gave the Soviet industry a chance to take off, but it also foreshadowed various problems now. A large number of industrial areas were established close to Europe. These areas have either been occupied by the rapidly advancing German army or have been surrounded. All the industrial equipment that the Soviet Union paid a lot of money to get back to their original owners. A large part of the railways and roads in the Soviet Union near Poland were built with German assistance. They were designed according to German standards. The width of the railway and the number of sleepers were unified in Europe, which allowed German trains to drive straight in and transport strategic materials needed by the German army. Now all these problems need to be solved by Soviet leader Stalin - including how to restore production to the near collapse of the industrial system, how to stop the victorious German army, how to stabilize the border defense, and how to stabilize his own crumbling dominance in Moscow. It seems that the rash attack on Germany and the rash refusal of peace talks are indeed not very wise decisions. Stalin narrowed his eyes and sighed. Then he called his secretary: "go and get the German special envoy. I want to have lunch with him! Hurry up and arrange it“ Yes Stalin's secretary nodded quickly, then retreated respectfully. At present, the war on the front line is unfavorable. He is afraid that Stalin will really vent his anger on himself.
