Chapter 943

"Yes, comrade general, now that we are surrounded, at least we should try to find a way. This is not the way." The staff officer said anxiously. As he spoke, the kerosene lamp trembled, and the beating light made his face look no better than ghost.

After all, people in this state of mind are not so good at all. Hiding in the city, in the dark air defense tunnel below, I can only see the short sunshine every day, and then nest in the dark and desperate environment, I don't know when it will end.

The feeling of yearning for the end of everything as soon as possible, but knowing that the end of everything is death, makes everyone in this headquarters slightly decadent. At least in recent days, even rokosovsky, who has always been full of confidence, has begun to become a bit out of his wits.

"If there's any way you can get out of here, I'll approve." Looking at his staff, rokosovsky lost his tough side. He once executed more than a dozen senior generals on the ground of fleeing. Now when his last moment is approaching, this cold-blooded senior Soviet commander shows his soft side.

He went to his own staff, stretched out his hand, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally patted each other on the shoulder twice: "I am ready to give my life for my motherland... But you or you, are still young, should not accompany me, such a sinner, to die here."

"Comrade General! This is Stalingrad! This is the city for which we need to give our lives! We have hundreds of thousands of young soldiers killed here. If our commanders leave at the last moment, what face will they have to go back to their motherland? " The staff officer lowered his eyes and replied with a slightly sour tone.

Yes, I ordered thousands of young soldiers to soak the whole Stalingrad with blood - every crack in the stone here is red soil, every square here is full of rotten bodies, every building here is full of mottled bullet holes, and every bullet hole here seems to be an abyss of countless souls.

He ordered the troops to attack again and again coldly. He ordered the troops to give up every inch of land. He used his life to fill one big pit after another dug by the German army. He used his own life to support himself and keep Stalingrad's promise.

Unfortunately, when everything was gone, he found that he was a flying insect struggling in the spider web. It seemed that he could get rid of the shackles as long as he struggled, but he finally made his silk thread tighter and tighter. Holding the curse of Stalingrad has become an impossible strategic goal. From Zhukov's delay in going south, rokosovsky had a premonition that he would leave the stage and become a "historical" figure.

The elite infantry and armored units of his elite 2nd guard had been exhausted in the streets of Stalingrad. When these troops suffered heavy losses and finally could not become a fighting force, rokosovsky realized that the brutal street fighting in Stalingrad not only consumed the valuable German troops, but also consumed the Soviet Union's little mobilization ability.

The mobilization capacity of the Soviet Union is three times more than that of Germany, which is roughly judged by its population - the population of the Soviet Union is about three times as large as that of Germany, but this multiple has shrunk to less than twice as small as that of Germany after it mobilized Ukraine and other regions.

Even such a weakened advantage has been almost lost when the Soviet front lost a lot. In fact, the total number of troops mobilized by the whole Soviet Union is almost the same as the total number of troops mobilized by the German army.

"Let the captain of the guard come in!" Rokosovsky found his palm shaking because his last moment was coming. The captain was appointed by Stalin. He was a very conscientious man. However, rokosovsky knew that the captain was probably the one sent by Stalin to supervise him to fulfill his promise of survival with Stalingrad.

"Comrade General!" As soon as the captain of the guard entered the gate, he stood respectfully at attention and made a very formal military salute. Rokosovsky laughed awkwardly. He didn't know if the other party could see his expression, but he still made it.

"Chief of staff, you can go out. Announce my order with all the people in the headquarters. I declare that you can break through or surrender now. Any decision is approved by me. " Rokosovsky signaled that his chief of staff could leave. When the other party was about to leave the room, he repeated the order he had just repeated.

"Sir..." the chief of staff took a look at the back of the head of the guard chief who entered the room, as if he wanted to say something more. But rokosovsky interrupted with a wave of his hand. So the chief of staff had to stand at attention to salute and turned to retreat.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little strange. Rokosovsky took the lead in saying: "in this situation, there is no difference between me and me. Stalingrad will be occupied by the German after all, and I have tried my best - now no one can change the ending, so I'll come to you, I want to thank you for taking care of me for such a long time. "

"Is it possible for Comrade Zhukov's troops to recapture Stalingrad if they go south?" The captain of the guard opened his mouth and asked in a hoarse voice. Power has been cut off here for many days, and water has become a scarce resource in recent days, so everyone's voice is hoarse and their voice is full of despair“ If I were him, I would go back to Moscow, or at least he would die with dignity in the end. " Rokosovsky sneered, then continued: "I've been waiting for this day since Stalin and Zhukov hesitated and wasted the opportunity to go south. I've spent countless lives here, hoping to change something at the last minute - but it's all too late, it's all over. "“ Boom The huge explosion made people frown involuntarily, and the German army's shelling started again. The frenzied cheers of the German grenadiers could be heard in the distance. A few minutes ago, another commander in the encirclement had sent a telegram. The German army was only a few tens of meters away from the headquarters. In this case, the fool also knows that another encirclement is over, and rokosovsky knows that his encirclement will not last long. The German army is cutting off his retreat along the Volga River. It will take only one day at most for his headquarters to be occupied by the German army. All resistance is futile, because the organized and formed units have been lost, and each defensive position can only fight on its own“ If you do it quickly, then at least you will have a chance to break through. The German attack on the river bank is not fast. If you hurry up and want to go back to Stalin, there will still be opportunities. " Rokosovsky got himself a vodka and unscrewed the button on his collar with his hand. He wants to have a good drink, because he is also a Russian who likes drinking. Listening to the distant rumble of guns, listening to the dust falling from the top of the basement shed knocking on the floor, rokosovsky drank vodka in his hand, and then greedily poured himself another cup“ Shoot, or I'll drink all this good wine. " The last general looked at the guard captain in front of him. He was very considerate and said, "if you go with half a bottle of wine, you will have a good drink on the way. Remember to drink more, maybe in Moscow, or Chelyabinsk... Anyway, you will die, at that time, we will see you again. "“ I think... If I find a new owner for myself, then at least I can live for a long time... "The captain took out his pistol as he spoke. He opened the insurance, loaded the bullet, and then said with a smile, "if I give you to akkado, maybe I can be a major in the Third Reich."“ You! This is the supreme headquarters of Stalingrad... You can't get me out, there are many red army commanders and guards outside, they can't watch you take me away from here, and... "Rokosovsky is brewing his own death, so he didn't come back for a moment, he thought his death was coming, But now I find that someone thinks more than him------------- Forget to set up regular update, sorry to keep you waiting
