The Germans surrendered to the Soviets in droves, including Major General Schroeder...... In fact, the Germans surrendered on the orders of Major General Schroeder.

"Surrender!" Major General Schroeder said to his subordinates on the walkie-talkie: "We have failed, and there is no point in continuing to fight!" ”

In this respect, the Germans differed from the Soviets, who emphasized that they should not surrender to the enemy at any time, even if they fought until the last moment, otherwise they would undoubtedly be labeled traitors.

The Germans, on the other hand, did not consider it a shame to hold out at the cost of their lives if they tried their best but could not change the tide of the war.

The Soviet camp cheered and shook the sky, and Katukov excitedly asked several times when he heard the news of the enemy's surrender:

"Is it true? They surrendered? ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

"Are you sure they gave up their resistance?"

"I'm sure, Comrade Colonel!"

"We've won?"

"Yes, Comrade Colonel!"

……

Then Katukov immediately reported the news to the command of the Western Front.

When the command received the news, there was a burst of cheers, and although Zhukov remained silent, he could not hide the joy on his face, and he said to the walkie-talkie: "Congratulations, Comrade Katukov! Congratulations to all the officers and men of the heroic 4th Tank Brigade, you not only successfully defended Moscow, but also successfully broke the myth of the invincibility of the German Panzer Division, set an example and build confidence for the whole army, you are the heroes of the Soviet Union, the heroes of the motherland, and the pride of the people! ”

Zhukov's words are not an exaggeration at all.

Before that, the Soviets did not know what the problem was from top to bottom...... The equipment is not necessarily less than that of the German army, and in some respects it is even stronger than the German army, and the number and total strength are even more than the German army, but they have been defeated repeatedly.

The generals of the Xu Soviet Army simply boiled it down to the question of "bravery", just like the spiritual atomic bomb mentioned earlier, as long as the soldiers are brave enough, they can defeat the enemy.

Some generals realized that the problem might be due to the quality of the troops or tactics.

But it will take time to catch up with the gap between the two aspects, and it will be difficult to catch up for a while and a half, so there is a kind of defeatism throughout the country, and even Stalin does not believe that the Soviet army can hold off the German attack.

If there was any victory, it was the battle of the Southwestern Front in Kiev for counter-encirclement.

But that battle was not a hard-fought battle, but the result of deceiving the German armored forces across the river and then using armored forces against the enemy infantry, and in this case it was also a dangerous battle.

This battle was different, it was completely a tank-to-tank battle, although it still used some tricks to take advantage, but with tank brigades it was very simple to annihilate a German armored division...... This is enough to prove that the formation, tactics, etc. of the tank brigade are correct.

So, the Soviets found their way. In the future, there is no doubt that the tank unit will be developed to the T34 and the tank brigade.

"But ......," Zhukov then ordered: "your battle is not over yet, Comrade Katukov!" Capture Kling and fill the gap in the second line of defense! ”

"Yes, Comrade General!" Katukov responded, and then gave the order to move on.

Major General Schroeder got out of his command vehicle with his hands raised, and he originally planned to use the speed of the barrel truck to break through with dozens of subordinates, but he had to abandon this idea after several tanks blocked the road head-on and blew up the barrel car led by him with a "boom".

This made it so that Major General Schroeder did not even have time to change his military uniform.

As soon as the Soviet soldiers saw the rank of Major General Schroeder, they immediately informed Major Gavrilov of the situation.

Soon Major Gavrilov arrived at the scene, also driving a barrel cart, which had been captured from the Germans.

Of course, this is not the one he drove in Kiev, but the one that has just been captured from the Germans...... As a Soviet, Major Gavrilov is also a nervous type, daring to use a freshly captured barrel car, and it was also when Soviet tanks were chasing the Germans everywhere in this poor visibility.

If Major Gavrilov did anything to prevent it, it was to tie red flags to the mirrors on both sides.

"When they see this, they know it's their own people!" Major Gavrilov said: "If anyone dares to open fire, I will put him in the barrel!" ”

Major Gavrilov did not think about it at all...... If someone did fire, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to put someone else in the barrel at all.

The barrel car stopped in front of Major General Schroeder, and Major Gavrilov skillfully jumped out of the car, walked in front of him, shook hands with Major General Schroeder, and said: "Welcome, Comrade Major General!" As much as I hate you invaders, I have to say ...... Your bucket cart is very useful, this is the second one I have captured, and I find that I can't live without it! ”

The surrounding Soviet soldiers burst out laughing, and the interpreter translated Gavrilov's words to Major General Schroeder in laughter.

Major General Schroeder's face was calm, he had long been prepared to be ridiculed by the enemy, and at the same time knew that there would be no good life in the hands of these Russians.

But......

"I hope to meet your commander, Major!" Major General Schroeder said.

"Meet our commander?" Major Gavrilov playfully asked: "Are you trying to assassinate him?" ”

The Soviet soldiers burst into laughter again.

"No, Major!" Major General Schroeder said: "I just want to pay tribute to him, it was a very successful battle!" I want to meet the man who defeated me......"

"Then I don't think you're going to see our commander, Major General!"

With that, Major Gavrilov shouted to the driver, who was on standby in the rear: "Bring Shulka here!" ”

When Shulka got out of the barrel cart, he saw an angry German major general.

"Are you insulting me, Major?" Major General Schroeder said: "He's just a second lieutenant!" ”

"Do you think it is necessary for me to insult you, Comrade Major General?" Major Gavrilov said: "You want to meet the man who defeated you, and he is!" ”

As he spoke, Major Gavrilov raised his hand at Shulka and said, "He wants to see you, Shulka, I think he is in love with you!" ”

Major General Schroeder looked at Major Gavrilov and then at Shulka in confusion, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The interpreter answered Shulka for the answer: "Maybe you haven't heard of it, he is the 'Breakout Hero', he can indeed be said to be the one who defeated you!" ”
