Chapter 724

"What are you looking at? There will be no weak under the leader! He looks like a good man in klugpin's fashion. Do you really think he is a sick cat? That's a tiger! A tiger that can eat people anytime, anywhere Randstadt sat in his rickety car and said to his confidants, "you see, this is the end of belittling the talents under the Fuehrer!"

Having said that, he just got a message, into the deputy's palm. As soon as the Deputy opened the message, he saw the short text on it. He read it out quietly with a look of shock: "Kluger's F group army broke through a line of defense of the Soviet Union and pushed forward 20 kilometers..."

He raised his head and looked at his commander: "marshal, this time, Zhukov's determination to fight must be shaken. Maybe we'll kill all the way, and we won't find any cheap. "

"I can't help it. In order to wait for 100 new tiger king tanks to be equipped for our army, we waited for one day at the German border. This was the order of the head of state. After all, the situation at that time had not deteriorated to the present situation." Lundstedt sighed and said, "Zhukov and rokosovsky, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet offensive forces, after all, still have some abilities. After all, we underestimate our opponents a little."

"They look down on Kruger, too!" The Deputy gave a smile, remembering that many German generals underestimated Kluger, so he restrained his smile.

"Yes! It's easy to despise the general who looks harmless to human beings and animals, but he has proved his worth Lundstedt narrowed his eyes and said, "facts have proved that there is no mediocrity under the Fuehrer!"

After a pause, he raised the corner of his mouth: "Kluger, Kluger, you've made a big splash, but in the end, I'm still better. After all, as a marshal of the Empire, I'm the strongest general under the head of state!"

The car kept shaking. On both sides of the road, the infantry meandered forward, more than 5 kilometers away. On the farther Road, trucks and tanks converge into a torrent of steel. The whole a group army can be said to be a new main group army, and the scale of armored forces is even close to the level of G group army, which can be called a huge modern cluster.

"The meteorological department called, saying that after a short 30 hours of clear weather, there will be a period of continuous snowfall. Although some aircraft can take off for reconnaissance, it is not recommended to use the air force on a large scale." The Deputy put the message he had just sent when he stopped for a rest in his file bag, and then said, "the message from the general staff of the army says, marshal, you can slow down a little."

Lundstete waved his hand and denied the deputy's suggestion: "the speed of March will remain unchanged as planned, and the speed of armored forces will be slightly faster! Cover the flanks of the Panzer with Panzer grenadiers! Even if we don't appear on the battlefield, we have to put enough pressure on the Soviets. I'd like to see how bold Zhukov is and how he chooses! "

"How else can I choose! We can only retreat On the other side of the battlefield, Zhukov of the temporary headquarters in Minsk suburb beat the map angrily and growled to a group of combat staff: "who can tell me, in a short day, why the German team has changed from a disadvantage to an advantage?"

In fact, Zhukov's biggest worry was not the 8000 German Paratroopers in front of rokosovsky's attack group. If calculated according to the original attack speed of the second front army of the close guard, after eating these German Paratroopers, the Soviets still have enough time to fight for Kiev which is close at hand.

But when he wanted to bite his teeth and let the troops attack Marin, the name of a city called Damanhur always haunted him. According to information sent by US allies, in Damanhur, the valiant General Patton and most of the 8th Army fell. And it was the humble 20000 German Paratroopers who made 100000 British and American allied forces suffer.

Of course, another news had to make Zhukov afraid of three points. Originally in the other direction of the north, "stupid" Kluger suddenly turned into a ferocious downhill tiger, and forced back the first front guards under the control of the famous Soviet general konev, which caused unprecedented pressure on the front line of the Soviet Union.

Zhukov had to reevaluate the danger of his attack on Kiev. In the end, he felt that even if he captured Kiev, he could not make the final plan to encircle the German army in the south. There was no way to stop the German army's counterattack in the attack group, and the subsequent hundreds of thousands of Soviet infantry could not be the opponents of the two German army groups.

"Romania's first army group has entered Ukraine, and they are temporarily assigned to the command of the German general staff. Intelligence shows that an Italian army group is also entering Romania, and their ultimate goal is Ukraine." A Soviet general staff officer, like a mourner, talked about the changes and development of the war situation. There were too many German reserve forces. This was not the result the Soviets wanted to see.

The key point is that Zhukov is not afraid of the fragile Romanian troops and the distant Italians. He is more worried about the a group army which has gradually approached the Soviet German front. Once this group army is fully launched in the front, the pressure of konev's close guard first front army will be greater. Only comrade Lenin in the sky can know whether he can hold the line.

If Zhukov insists on attacking Kiev, it is likely that the a group army will defeat the Soviet defense line and then encircle the whole rokosovsky attack cluster, and the Soviet Union will lose all its main forces. This result is not what Stalin hoped to see. In that case, the Soviet Union would be defeated quickly, and Stalin's personal rule in the Soviet Union would be in crisis“ Order rokosovsky to stop at once! Retreat For so many reasons, Zhukov gave the order to retreat. God knows how many Soviet soldiers he betrayed in one fell swoop. In Donetsk, hundreds of thousands of people were surrounded by goodrian. On the front battlefield, the Soviet Red Army gave up its attack and turned to retreat and defense. This is equivalent to the announcement of hongguoguo, who admitted defeat in the south line, and took the lives of hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers as the price to complete a gamble of losing part of his family. It's not a ruin, but it's definitely a bone breaking. Obviously, this decision made Zhukov feel shame, his face became red, a look of shame and indignation. In order to save the Red Army in the south of the Soviet Union, Zhukov had to ask timoshinger, who was in charge of the south line, to organize a counterattack to the south in an attempt to take back the important southern town of sheberinka and threaten goodrian's flank defense. However, the infantry of the Soviet Red Army who went down to the south just ran into the group D army under the command of modle, who was behind the Guderian group army. So the plan to take back sheberenka was not finished. The Soviet Red Army near Donetsk had to rely on themselves. Modle, who was the general of the third empire with the highest level of defense, immediately took on the cover of goodrian's side rear. His troops firmly in the top of the sheberinka, so that timoshinger did not try. At the same time, on the Soviet German front near Marin, a Soviet officer handed a telegram from Minsk to his commander“ Retreat After receiving Zhukov's telegram, rokosovsky did not even hesitate. He gave the order of retreat. From the announcement of stopping the attack to the withdrawal, the Soviet Red Army did not delay for two hours. Countless soldiers of the Soviet Red Army hobbled along the road they had just come, without any expression on their faces. They defeated their opponents and won many battles. Unfortunately, in the end, they still had to retreat from their own territory. One day's bombing cost these Soviet soldiers a lot of equipment, but now the sky continues to drift with small snowflakes. Those accompanying German Air Force aircraft finally disappeared, making the retreat a little easier. When the Soviets stopped in front of the German Paratroopers' defense line, a cheering burst out on the German Paratroopers' position in the suburb of Marin! A parachute division of 11000 people scared off the 200000 elite troops under the command of the famous Soviet general rokosovsky. What a glory and what a prestige“ Damanhur All the paratroopers were holding their guns high and shouting. This is their due pride, and also their due pride as the fastest and hardest fist of the Empire. They fought to the death in Damanhur, where they played the first world prestige of German Paratroopers. Now they are a terrible army that all commanders have to consider! The news that 20000 German Paratroopers scared off more than 400000 Soviet soldiers outside Kiev spread like wildfire and became a miracle in the world military history. Although this miracle was not accomplished by the paratroopers alone, the honor still belongs to the paratroopers of the Third Reich. It belongs to every soldier who jumps out of the cabin door and shouts the word Damanhur. The whole east line battle was like a feast for generals, which made the world applaud for the front-line commanders of the two countries. The attack and sudden turn of goodrian on the south line of the German army; Modle's defense followed up steadily; In the north, Liszt's staunchly fierce tenacity; Kluger's amazing performance... Similarly, the performance of Soviet generals is remarkable, Zhukov's vigorous and resolute attack, and he did not hesitate to retreat... Even akkado has to admit that this is a brilliant era, it is true, the strong are like a forest.
