The story of two unlucky eggs still has to start with the line of defense named after Iron Man. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
From the southernmost tip of the Pripyat Marshes in the north to the northern shore of the Black Sea in the south, after the Stalinist lines were broken through by the Germans, a reality that shocked the German army slowly emerged.
"The main forces of the Soviet army on the territory of Ukraine ran away, and millions of troops of the Central Front, the Southwestern Front and the Southern Front fled to the east bank of the Dnieper? Do you think this is true? ”
Wolf *** Hitler asked, staring at Halder and Brauchitsch.
"My Führer, although this news may sound unbelievable, it is true." Halder said.
"What kind of iron will is Stalin who dared to throw away half of Ukraine and let us occupy it?" Marshal Keitel said.
With a wave of his hand, Hitler stopped Field Marshal Keitel's attack on Stalin, and instead exclaimed: "You are wrong, my dear Mr. Marshal. On the contrary, Stalin's courage to give up half of Ukraine is proof that he has an iron will and is worthy of the nickname Iron Man. He must have been aware of our plans to make this painful decision. Seriously, from this incident, I'm starting to like him a little bit. ”
After a pause, Hitler said: "Stalin has detected our plan, the main forces of the Russians have run away, we must draw up a new battle plan, I will give you three days to bring me a new plan." Since Iron Man's friends are so generous, the first step in the plan is to occupy half of Ukraine first. ”
Tapping his head, Hitler said: "Our troops have entered Ukraine, and I think it is necessary to change the number of the troops, so I will rename the two army groups after Ukraine." ”
With Hitler's order to occupy half of Ukraine with Flash Hitler, the main German army, which broke through the Stalin line and had no Soviet troops in front of it, rushed to the Dnieper River at lightning speed.
On the way to the march, the troops under the command of Marshal Liszt were renamed Army Group South Ukraine, and the troops under the command of Marshal Rundstedt were renamed Army Group North Ukraine.
Among the Northern Ukrainian Army Group, the fastest rush was the 46th Panzer Corps commanded by General Sher.
Admiral Scheer marched with a strong resentment.
I thought that a large number of Soviet troops would be outflanked behind the Stalin Line, but only one chicken feather was caught, and the troops of the two divisions first went west, and then turned back to the east, coming and going, wasting at least five days.
In particular, after breaking through the Stalinist line with the troops of the Sixth Army, Admiral Scheer received a polite request from friendly forces.
Friends of the 46th Armored Army, do you want to get out of the way of the road first, and don't get in the way.
With a sense of resentment, Admiral Sher ordered the troops to turn around on the spot and rush all the way to Kyiv to start a new journey.
Nothing could stop Admiral Scheer's wheels from advancing, except for the torrential rain.
Nothing could slow down the galloping pace of the 46th Panzer Corps, except for the mud.
On the way to Kiev, Admiral Scheer and his 46th Panzer Corps encountered torrential rain and mud.
In the midst of the rain and mud, there was another man who was full of resentment, Lieutenant Rabin of the 1st Honorary Jewish Division.
Lieutenant Rabin rushed out of the swamp with his comrades, thinking that he would turn left and go to Kyiv, but he was ordered to turn right and march to the Stalinist line to participate in the major battle that might arise to encircle and suppress the main force of the Soviet army in Ukraine.
However, before the Stalinist line could see it, Lieutenant Rabin's 1st Honorary Jewish Division suddenly received another order, and the whole division turned around and returned the same way to Kiev.
The troops turned around in place and were about to rush to Kyiv with full horsepower, but they were slapped on the road by the sudden rainstorm.
Wrapped in a wet military uniform, Lieutenant Rabin pondered.
To the left, to the right, where exactly are we going?
The Germans are sometimes unreliable!
On the battlefield, if the enemy opposes us, we must approve it.
The torrential rain and mud brought resentment to the Germans, but to the Russians smiles.
The Dnieper River split the city of Kiev in half, about three-quarters west of the river and a quarter east of the river.
On the east bank of the Dnieper, a Soviet officer, who was only about the same height as Mandolfel and had long hair only at the back of his head, looked up at the pouring rain and smiled confidently.
"This heavy rain can buy us at least three more days. When the Germans arrived in Kiev, hell awaited them. ”
The Soviet officer's full name was Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, a name that will shock the world in the future and will forever go down in history.
However, in August 1942, our Comrade Khrushchev was only a political commissar of the Central Front, and he was a conscientious political cadre under Comrade Iron Man.
Breathing in the damp and ion-filled air brought by the heavy rain, Khrushchev kept looking at his watch.
After waiting for more than an hour, Khrushchev finally waited for the person he was waiting for.
A Gaz truck with a rainproof cloth in the back compartment stopped at the entrance of the headquarters, and four officers jumped out of the rear compartment, led by a rough-looking lieutenant general with thick hair.
"Welcome to the Central Front, dear Comrade Chuikov." Khrushchev greeted the lieutenant general warmly.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Commissar, I'm late."
"With such heavy rain, you are only thirty minutes late, and the Germans will be three days late, your speed is already very fast."
Chuikov smiled and said: "This rain is so timely・・・・・・ what is my task?" ”
"Come," Khrushchev walked to the map with Chuikov.
"The task of your 62nd Army is to garrison the eastern part of the city of Kyiv on the east bank of the Dnieper, and the western part is under the responsibility of the 6th Army, they are responsible for defense, and you are responsible for the counteroffensive."
"Okay, I'll leave it to me, but I'm going to go to the west bank of the river first to familiarize myself with the city's topography."
Khrushchev and Chuikov were busy setting up a killing field in the city of Kiev, and the German high command in the wolf's den had a little change.
The new battle plan did not wait, but Hitler waited for bad news.
"Marshal Reichenau is seriously wounded, for what reason?"
"The enemy has planted bombs with timed fuses in many houses in Zhytomyr, and unfortunately there is one in the headquarters of the army group chosen by Marshal Reichenau." Brauchitsch said.
"Save ・・・・・・ at all costs, who do you think is more appropriate to take over as commander of the Sixth Army?"
"I think General Paulus is more suitable." Halder said.
"General Paulus? I know him, this person can, that's him. Let him hurry up and take office, tell him to take Kyiv as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
