In the city of Leningrad, the head of the secretary of the Leningrad Municipal Party Committee, and the political commissar of the Leningrad Front, was about to explode. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The last two days have been an absolute nightmare for him.

In the early morning of September 6, the Germans launched an offensive in the direction of Lake Ladoga, which he had anticipated, so it did not cause much panic.

While ordering the troops of the 67th Army to hold the defense line along the lake, Zhdanov called the headquarters of the 23rd Army and informed Zhukov, commander of the Leningrad Front, who was inspecting there, that he should hurry back to the headquarters of the Front to preside over the overall situation.

More than two hours later, in Zhdanov's anticipation, Zhukov rushed all the way back to Leningrad.

In Zhdanov's stunned, Zhukov did not not appear at the command of the Front, but was admitted to the operating room of the Leningrad Central Hospital lying down.

"Shameless, mean, incompetent."

When Zhdanov learned about Zhukov's injury, he couldn't help but scold.

The Germans actually appeared behind the defense line of the 23rd Army, and according to eyewitnesses of the tragedy, those Germans wore Soviet uniforms, which can be described as shameless and despicable.

The incompetence in Zhdanov's mouth refers to the 23 Army.

The Germans were able to bypass the defense line of the 23rd Army and suddenly appear on Zhukov's way back to Leningrad, which can only be described as incompetent to describe the 23rd Army.

Zhukov was seriously injured in an ambush, but it was only the beginning of a series of bad news.

On the day of September 6, the Germans advanced five kilometers in the direction of Lake Ladoga, capturing the town of Klicklovo.

A small town, five kilometers may seem like a short distance, but it accounts for a quarter of the total depth of the Soviet defenses.

At this rate, the Germans would only need to advance 15 kilometers, or at most three days, to reach Lake Ladoga and completely cut off Leningrad's ground connection with the outside world.

By that time, Leningrad will fall into an even more miserable situation.

Before the German army approached Leningrad, Zhdanov set out to send 65,000 skilled workers out of Leningrad, and 40,000 wagons of machinery, raw materials and machine tools out of Leningrad to the distant Ural industrial region to set up a sub-base to preserve the vitality of the protracted war.

65,000 skilled workers, a tiny fraction of Leningrad, with a population of more than 2 million.

Plus six armies under the Leningrad Front, as well as a Red Banner Baltic Fleet, on which at least two and a half million mouths depended on him for food.

The rationing system has long been implemented in the city, and the rations of front-line combat soldiers have been halved, and the rations of logistics and command personnel are only one-third.

On the civilian side, the workers involved in production were given five slices of bread each, about 250 grams.

The families of workers and factory managers will be halved to 125 grams.

For citizens who are not workers, they can only get a minimum quota of food if they participate in work such as digging trenches, and even then, food is still not enough to make ends meet.

It has been calculated that the minimum daily consumption of food for 2.5 million soldiers and civilians in the Leningrad region is 3,000 tons, and once the road traffic is completely cut off, the Leningrad region can only transport food by water and air to Lake Ladoga, and the daily volume of food can be transported up to 100 tons.

The reason is very simple: during the day, the skies over Lake Ladoga and Leningrad will be attacked by the Luftwaffe, and many ships and planes carrying supplies will directly deliver supplies to the Kingdom of Heaven and deliver them to Comrade Lenin.

Most of the transport can only be carried out at night.

Even if the daily volume of goods can reach 100 tons, at least half of this 100 tons of materials are raw materials for the production of weapons and ammunition in the factories in Leningrad, after all, the German army around the city is heavily pressed, and the Soviet Red Army needs weapons and ammunition to fight.

In any case, the lifeline on the last road to Leningrad must not be cut off.

Zhdanov's mind flashed a string of terrible numbers, and the hungry and staggering citizens who walked and staggered in his mind, and he made up his mind decisively.

Pulling his belt, Zhdanov tightened his hungry gurgling stomach and hurried to the headquarters of the Front Army to meet with the new commander of the Front, Lieutenant General Khozin.

"Comrade Zhukov's condition is okay?" Lieutenant General Khozin asked with concern when he saw that Zhdanov had returned from visiting Zhukov in the hospital.

"He's out of danger, but he's going to be in a hospital bed for at least a month, so I've decided to let him fly out tonight and go back to Moscow."

"It's best that way・・・・・・ he's a lucky guy." Lieutenant General Hozin said.

"Why do you say that?" Zhdanov's eyes glowed green, staring at Lieutenant General Khozin and asked.

And because of what, of course, because of envy that this Comrade Zhukov could leave Leningrad, which was about to fall.

Lieutenant General Huo Jin was envious in his heart, but he said: "You don't know, last night, there were many bizarre incidents on the side of the 23rd Group Army. ”

Lieutenant General Khozin handed two blank sheets of paper to Zhdanov.

It was recorded on the white paper that last night, between some units under the 23rd Group Army, it was suddenly found that the telephone line was interrupted, and the maintenance personnel then set off to check the line, and then there was no more.

The patrol set out to find the missing maintenance personnel, but was ambushed by the Germans, who were lucky enough to escape and who were all dressed in Soviet uniforms.

Some units had nothing to do all night, but when they got up in the morning, they found that the sentry standing guard near the station had disappeared・・・・・・

Other troops, who had a peaceful night and woke up in the morning, were well guarded, and the troops, as usual, ate their breakfast with a greatly reduced share, but suddenly a group of German bombers rushed out of the air・・・・・・

"Comrade Zhukov was only wounded, did not lose his life, did not leave a disability, and compared with those soldiers who disappeared mysteriously, he was certainly a lucky one."

"Well, he's lucky, but how many enemies are moving behind us?"

"I don't know, the 23rd Army is encircling and exterminating these bedbugs that have entered our rear." Lieutenant General Hozin said.

"Lake Ladoga is the most important link in our defense, how is the battle now?"

"The 67th Army reported that the German Air Force was very fierce. They advanced another five kilometers and occupied Desovo, which is currently only ten kilometers away from Lake Ladoga. Lieutenant General Hozin said.

"What, it's only noon, the Germans have advanced five kilometers, and at this pace, they will reach Lake Ladoga tomorrow at the latest." Zhdanov's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"The 67th Army reported that the Germans' air raids were so strong that they almost wiped the town of Desovo off the map with one of their air strikes, and they could not hold out for a longer time without strong enough air support."

"Go to the Volkhov Front and ask them to send their air force to coordinate the defense." Zhdanov said.

"I tried, the Volkhov Front was also attacked by the Germans, and they were under a lot of pressure from the Luftwaffe there, and there was no spare strength to support us, so we had to figure it out on our own. I have already sent the fighters of the Baltic Fleet to attack to assist the 67 Army in its air defense, and I hope that their sortie will have some effect. Lieutenant General Hozin said.
