Stalingrad has become a past, and this name has finally become a history in front of the German tank torrent. People who want to name a city for immortality may never achieve their goal. Of course, Washington is a beautiful exception.
Finally, the city was flattered by the army and renamed as St. Rudolph. The city will continue to exist as a German city, and it will provide services for Germany on the third day after its occupation. After the confession of some high-level prisoners, some grain, oil and ammunition buried underground in the city have been found. Batch after batch of materials have filled the eyes of the occupying forces, and also brought a lot of benefits to the following Ukrainian troops.
At the same time, Zhukov was still desperately leading his troops to the south. Soviet troops once recaptured part of the German occupied area in northern Voronezh state and relieved the German threat to Voronezh.
The Soviet Union's first close guard armored front army and the Soviet Union's third close guard armored front army attacked the German first armored army. The two sides started the most fierce tank battle in human history in the bulge. In the narrow area, there were more than 1000 tanks on both sides at one time, and the whole battlefield was full of tank debris and soldiers' bodies.
If Stalingrad is the hell of infantry, then the battle born in the south of Kursk can be called the tomb of tank troops. Sadly, as the most effective troops on both sides, all of these troops are the most valuable elite of the Soviet and German sides.
Zhukov doesn't even know how to deal with the situation now. The city he went south to reinforce has been lost not long ago. His hundreds of thousands of troops stayed in the field and struggled with the German army. This may be one of the German army's favorite ways of fighting. The two sides piled up tanks on the plain, and then lost each other at the speed of several vehicles one by one.
You know, it took the Soviet Union half a year to have so many thousands of tanks that could compete with the German army. Now if all the tanks were left in the south of Kursk, Zhukov would not have to go back to Stalin to plead guilty.
But now it seems that it is not the case to ask him to turn around and go back. He made the idea of going south. He also made the strategy of giving priority to Stalingrad - even the generals who stick to Stalingrad were promoted by him. All this seems to be too bad for him, Zhukov thought of these things is a headache.
No matter when, there is more or less distrust between generals and leaders. This distrust relationship may be infinitely close to zero because of the close origin between the two, but this distrust relationship actually exists, and affects the harmony between generals and leaders.
For example, in another time and space, Hitler and his army commanders have an extremely distrustful relationship with each other. This distrust broke out with the progress of the war and the constant rout, and the nvwushen project is the final product of this distrust relationship.
Akkado was born in Germany, and also has a deep foundation in the military. However, we can still see from the complex command and coordination relationship between the general staff and the supreme command that marshal blauchich and other veteran army generals do not trust the new head of state.
But this distrust can be masked or remedied by a series of victories. Hitler and his generals, who won all the way, had a good relationship, but once they were defeated, they began to blame each other. So akado still has a good relationship with brauchich and others, because akado has not lost.
It's not hard to understand why Stalin increasingly distrusted his generals. At least Khrushchev, voroshlov and rokosovsky, whom he selected, betrayed him, so he began to distrust Zhukov and his generals.
In Moscow's Kremlin, Stalin held a document in his hand and was silent to a group of people. Through the gap between his fingers, he could see the contents of the document. This is an appointment document, a promotion document Stalin is going to send to rokosovsky.
Originally, as long as rokosovsky died in Stalingrad, Stalin would sign the document and send it to the whole army as an obituary. This is an attitude that shows Stalin's respect for the generals who fight to the end for him. But before he had time to grieve for the fall of Stalingrad, he heard the news of rokosovsky's surrender.
What about trust? Where is the most basic trust between people? Stalin wanted to ask his more and more disrespectful subordinates. These people were "reliable comrades" who had gone through the great cleansing period. However, under the current situation, Stalin did not guarantee how long these people would be reliable.
"It is declared that rokosovsky is the first criminal of the Soviet Union! All his family, friends, relatives and neighbors were hanged at once Stalin's voice broke the silence: "he should be killed! They should have died there! He vowed to live and die with Stalingrad! He swore
No one answered Stalin's words. It is obviously not a wise thing to stand up and express one's opinions at this time. What Stalin needed was to vent his anger, to yell at a group of idiot like subordinates. After being sprayed, everyone went back to their homes to prepare for escape from the city.
Do you really think that all people are willing to contribute their lives for their motherland? Do you really think that all the people firmly support Comrade Stalin forever? Do you really think that under the current situation, someone is willing to pit Zhukov again and take over this hot potato? This can be clearly observed from the process of changing generals on the front line several times: at the beginning, it was argued who went to the front line. All the people who could go to the front line were people that Stalin highly trusted, such as Khrushchev and voroshlov. When the two of them were finished, we all knew that the German was a tough character to deal with, so we began to take the recommended route and collectively recommended the more capable Zhukov to block the gun for us; Now it's Zhukov's turn and he can't stop it. That's who's in the bad luck stage. If you volunteer at this time, it's just a pit in the back of your head. make fun of! The purpose of power seeking is to gain more benefits, to be promoted and to stand out, and to build up one's own political capital more comfortably in a good environment. Now in this situation, anyone who still cares about the chair with Zhukov's buttocks down can't be called crazy, it can be called extremely stupid! Even if Stalin wanted to replace Zhukov, these people would cry and cry for Stalin to take back his life. Of course, after ordering the execution of all the people related to rokosovsky, Stalin spoke slowly and raised the question of his distrust of the front-line combat Generals: "although yezov has the ambition he shouldn't have, he is right to say that these generals are unfamiliar wolves, and they can never be one with me!" Hearing Stalin's comment, these low headed officials and generals lowered their heads even lower. This kind of time is often the time when a storm is about to start, so we all try to make ourselves look less impressive, so that the big thunder on this day can be split on other people's heads first“ I'm thinking about replacing Zhukov and letting him come back from the front. Do you have any good candidates to replace him? " Stalin saw that everyone was silent, and the resentment in his tone became more obvious. He played with his pipe with one hand and rubbed the Marshal's appointment certificate with the other. At last, he swept the heads of all the people with sharp eyes and gave up the intention of forcing them to speak with a sigh. He himself knew that the current war situation was extremely unfavorable to the Soviet Union, and a fool could see that no matter who went to the front line at this time, he could not do better than Zhukov. At this time, even if Zhukov was called back and cut to pieces, Stalin himself could not escape this fate and would still follow Zhukov's old path. It's just one after another. It's meaningless. The sound of sighing reverberated in the open conference room, and everyone's hanging hearts were finally released with this sigh. After all, Stalin compromised and gave up the plan to recall Zhukov, so the rotten situation on the front line may be able to delay for a period of time and strive for more opportunities for everyone to retreat to a more distant hinterland. The curtain has fallen on Stalingrad, which is now called St. Rudolph. This city represents the achievements of the German head of state in all directions, and also represents the great power of this great head of state in Germany. This time, the name change is a naked "slap" at the leader of another country. In this supreme chamber of the Soviet Union, few people think about the future of the Soviet Union. All they think about is to find a reason to go to Chelyabinsk as soon as possible, or somewhere farther away - in short, waiting to die in Moscow is not a good choice“ Don't think about running away! When you go back, think carefully about how you can hold on to Moscow! " As if seeing clearly the thoughts in everyone's heart, what Stalin finally said surprised every senior Soviet official here: "I know you are all planning to leave Moscow, but... No one can leave without my order! Violators will be punished for treason! "“ Yes!... " All the people were powerless to answer. The meeting was dissolved. How to stop the German army was still an unsolved problem------------- It's a bit late to make up a new chapter. I'm sorry
