Chapter 713

"We have more faith than our enemies! This allows us to bear more losses than the enemy. " Rokosovsky stood in front of the bloody map of Germany with his hands behind his back and said this in a calm tone. His troops captured the German position more than half an hour ago, but paid a heavy price of 20000 soldiers.

The two sides competed repeatedly in the nearby positions, and finally the Soviet Red Army won the biggest victory since the beginning of the war. They captured nearly 3000 German soldiers and captured four 150 mm caliber heavy guns, four 105 mm caliber cannons and two 75 mm caliber anti tank guns.

The military band set up its own equipment in the position where the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and then began to play and sing to the soldiers who were exhausted but still on the way. If akado comes here, he will hear a familiar melody, a very familiar song.

"When pear blossoms bloom all over the world, the river is floating with rouman's gossamer, and Katyusha stands on the beautiful bank, singing like a beautiful spring light." A group of female college students from the Soviet Union stood on the top of the trench, standing in a neat line, singing this love song just written to the Red Army of the Soviet Union. On January 1, 1939, new year's day, this song was first sung in the Soviet army. It was immediately Sung and became one of the most popular songs of the Soviet Red Army.

Rokosovsky is very satisfied with the attack speed of his guards. The meteorological department of the Soviet Union predicts that the bad weather will last for about 10 days, which is undoubtedly a very favorable condition for the Red Army of the Soviet Union who is about to attack Kiev. After all, their air force is not the opponent of the German air force.

"We've lived in this land for thousands of years, and that's our advantage! We know the cold here, we know the snowfall here. Standing here and feeling the cold wind pouring into my neck, I know that the terrible snowfall will last for at least a few more days. " He confidently told his assistant: "our opponents obviously underestimated the bad weather here in the Soviet Union."

Even if the preparations were more adequate, the German army could only barely make sure that the coming of winter would not affect their operations. However, the Soviets could take advantage of this bad weather. They knew how to use these strange weather. This is the extension of geographical conditions, and this is the terrifying part of their local advantages.

Although korosovsky had already gained the advantage, he was still shocked by the German's tenacity and strength. He carefully prepared for the attack that could tear up the German defense line. Now he just broke through the German defense line, and the difficulty of the attack far exceeded his plan. Even now he still can't figure out how many German opponents are so difficult.

He knocked out a German infantry division at the cost of losing two divisions. Although he won the biggest victory since the war, he knew that this kind of exchange was not enough to advocate with a big victory. The Red Army of the Soviet Union had to invest more troops and make greater sacrifices to tear up the German defense line completely.

Rokosovsky walked out of the underground bunker, which was originally the German front-line headquarters, and felt the cold wind blowing on his face: "Liszt... This German general is really a difficult opponent. Up to now, he has not given up his position. What are you waiting for? Waiting for the distant goodrian? Or waiting for the incompetent Kruger? "

On the other hand, the news from the other direction is not very reassuring. Goodrian's troops have captured a large area of Soviet territory like a race. The most powerful German armored group army, G group army, has entered between Kharkov and Donetsk. Now timoshinger, who is responsible for it, can't judge whether the Germans want to go north or south.

Kluger's army had been on Liszt's flank, and it was hard to remember that there was a mediocre general there. This man, who became a front-line General of the empire by following akkado's advice, still looks like a warm old man. Even the Soviet Red Army opposite him can breathe a sigh of relief. He is a peace Ambassador during the war.

"Send a telegram to general Zhukov and promise him that my troops will attack kalinkovich by noon tomorrow." As he walked in the trench, which had been cleared out, but was still covered with blood, he ordered to the deputy who followed him: "command the whole army, speed up the attack! Above the commander, you must fight in person when charging! If the division commander and the army commander fail to capture the target on time, they need not be interrogated, and they will immediately carry out the military law! "

At this moment, the opposite Liszt is looking at the battle map in front of him, which shows that he has two divisions defeated by the Soviet Red Army, and another Division has been completely annihilated. An hour ago, he just sent a telegram to the general staff about the complete annihilation of this division.

The E group army is gradually going to destruction. In Liszt's area, he has even organized the rear garrison troops into combat forces. These recruits with only rifles have been incorporated into the front line to supplement several divisions that have suffered heavy losses. However, the whole E group army is still in short supply and has been severely reduced to the point of making people angry.

Each division of this group army has lost more than five percent of its personnel, some as high as 20 percent. Two divisions have lost more than half of their personnel, and one has been completely destroyed. This does not include the ammunition and materials consumed by the front line, and the loss is as great as the German army has never seen.

"Ring, ring!" When the phone rings suddenly, Liszt grabs the phone and hears akado's voice: "good afternoon, general Liszt, this is akado? Rudolph“ WOW Liszt quickly stood at attention, and then respectfully replied: "the great Fuehrer akado? Long live Rudolph! My Fuehrer! What can I do for you? "“ It's simple! I have just heard the report on the loss of the E group army. I think it is necessary for me to call you personally. I want to know if I am sure that I will stick to the position for 10 days? " Akado's voice came from his headphones, and he must be concerned about the extent to which the war situation in northern Kiev will deteriorate“ My Fuehrer! I can guarantee that my troops will hold on for another 10 days, or even 11 days if necessary, but if the nearby reinforcements don't move in advance now, can they arrive on time to reinforce the defeated E group army in this bad weather? " Lister said anxiously: "I'm afraid you will lose the whole E group army, even Kiev behind the E group army." Akado was silent for a while. When Liszt thought that the phone was disconnected, he slowly said, "I have a way to reinforce 20000 of you in 10 days, and I'm well-trained, but this army will only appear in Kiev, not anywhere else. You just have to continue to follow the plan and retreat back a little bit. "“ Try to preserve your strength, and then wait for the moment of victory, my lord general! Victory will surely belong to the third empire Akado finished this sentence and hung up the phone“ I really want to know, if I can't stop the opponent's attack, then our prepared backhand is useless... At this time, the head of state also personally called me and asked me to stick to this direction for 10 days. " Putting down the phone, Liszt once again turned his eyes away from those already chaotic maps, and then muttered to himself: "I just insist here, without follow-up support preparation, what's the use?" Akado calls Liszt and asks him to stick to it for 10 days. Liszt is still a little confident, but he hasn't got the specific number of the troops to reinforce him, and there is no news about the actions of several group armies. This makes him very worried. He is worried that his group army will bear unbearable losses, He also worried that his defeat would make the situation in the whole southern region uncontrollable“ Let the five divisions in rotation change to the front line! Don't reserve ammunition! Give me a hard fight in the last line of defense! Then give up kalinkovic and go back to ovrucci He called his own chief of staff and some nearby military commanders and divisions. Liszt gave an order according to akkado's request. He was ready to move his defense line between korossian, Malin and Ivankov, so that the E group army could have at least two more days to rest, and also let Liszt arrange his defense line calmly in these cities“ Let the recruits watch the prisoners build a new line of defense! I'll give you one day. We have to build enough defense lines in these places to hold us for more than three days! " Liszt pointed to the cities and said to his men. So a large-scale retreat began. The German army gave up their two-day defense line and retreated to kalinkovich, where their guards fought a cruel encounter with the three divisions of the Soviet Red Army, and gave up kalinkovich at dawn. The Red Army of the Soviet Union has been singing all the way on the northern front line. It seems that Kiev is already under their attack. Rokosovsky issued an order to continue the attack, ignoring the entire 200 T-34 tanks and KV-1 tanks of various types that were abandoned due to the breakdown on the road. The Red Army of the Soviet Union, which occupied kalinkovich, continued to move south towards their new target, ovruchi.
