"Comrade General! We're surrounded! "An officer hurried into a crater with horror written all over his face.

He had just run back from a section of ground where several German soldiers were now rummaging through the bodies, apparently all of whom had been annihilated.

The Germans were probably less than 100 meters away from the crater where he was now. Moreover, on the way back, he saw a German tank No. 4 parked on the edge of the ruins.

The No. 4 tank was modernized and equipped with a 75 mm anti-tank gun, and it was also very powerful.

"We ...... Isn't there a way for us to break through? The officer in charge of the guard, who was holding a submachine gun, asked in a low voice.

They still have more than 100 people, half of them are probably combat units, they are the elite of the guard company, and they are armed with a large number of **sha submachine guns.

The other half was the divisional officer of the 56th Guards Infantry Division, as well as the commander of the 50th Guards Infantry Corps.

The 50th Guards Infantry Corps was temporarily formed and commanded only three infantry divisions, which were the 55th Guards Infantry Division and the 56th Guards Infantry Division, which had been defeated all the way.

The other unit was deployed behind the two main divisions, an infantry division with the number 372.

Listening to this number, you will know that the 372nd Infantry Division is neither the main Guards Division nor a serious infantry division.

Most of the soldiers of this infantry division were temporarily recruited, and their combat effectiveness was very limited, and they basically did not have heavy weapons.

Although the number of Soviet troops is still quite large, most of them are infantry divisions like this.

The shortcomings of the Soviet army's serious lack of heavy firepower production capacity have also begun to appear. They had to equip these light infantry divisions with pitiful mortars to compensate for the lack of support firepower.

Who would have imagined that an infantry division of the Soviet army had only a dozen 120 mm caliber mortars attached to the division, which could be used as suppressive fire?

The original 55th Guards Infantry Division had no combat effectiveness, so it was left in place when it retreated, acting as cannon fodder.

The 372nd Infantry Division was already in the rear, so it had the opportunity to escape with the 56th Guards Infantry Division.

Unfortunately, neither the retreating 56th Infantry Division nor the motley 372nd Infantry Division could get far.

After retreating for a few kilometers, they were bitten by the armored forces of the German attack that had seized the defensive line.

Then the planes from the sky began to bomb them, and the German mechanized infantry on the ground, as well as tanks, began to tear at their perimeter alert forces.

Only a few hours later, the 56th Guards Infantry Division, which was still formed and effective at the time of retreat, also collapsed, and more than 10,000 soldiers rushed to flee, losing both the division headquarters and the military headquarters.

Now, only half a company of the loyal guards were left to defend these high-ranking Soviet officers.

The good news is that the surroundings are too chaotic, and the Germans are busy taking prisoners, and for the time being there is no way to carefully check everything around.

The bad news was that even if the German armoured units didn't have time to check their surroundings, they couldn't outrun the German armoured forces and run back to the Soviet-occupied zone.

By the time the German infantry arrived, they had little hope of leaving.

Now, if they have the courage, they may have a chance to slip away while the Germans are in temporary disarray.

"We have long been surrounded! Of course I do! The leader of the general complained, not knowing what was in his mind.

He was the commander of the 50th Guards Infantry Corps and a general. It's a pity that now there are only 50 troops left in the troops he can command.

"Can you get in touch with the other troops? The 1 regiment also had 2 regiments...... It is better to find the troops around so that we also have a suitable direction for the breakthrough. Looking at the radio dropped in the middle of the crater, the commander of the guard company asked an officer next to him.

The company commander didn't dare to ask the general directly, after all, the difference in rank was too big. The officer had the rank of lieutenant colonel, which didn't seem too high and unattainable.

The lieutenant colonel pointed to the radio station that was thrown over there, shook his head and said, "One was broken when I ran away just now, and the other one had to be turned on with an antenna. ”

Although the German army was very chaotic, it was not blind, and if a radio antenna was erected and came out, someone would definitely come to check it.

"Damn...... Damn it! We're breaking out now! Just to the south! Anyway, the general direction can't be wrong! The general was a little flustered, and opened his mouth to give his orders.

In his opinion, why do you care so much about running away now? Just choose a direction and move quickly.

"To the south?" Hearing this direction, the commander of the guard company, who was the commander of the combat unit, could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

The German panzers had just driven over, and now they were to the south. They are chasing the rout of the 372nd Infantry Division, and if they find themselves with Soviets behind them, they will stop and solve the trouble behind them first!

He can't afford to gamble on this risk, if he leads the army commander and the division commander into a dead end, wouldn't he become a sinner?

"Who ordered the retreat? If we are stationed in the same place, we have a position, and we can hold it for a few hours, right? Watching his troops collapse in an instant, the commander complained with a crying voice.

Everyone knows the order, of course, it was given by Zhukov. At such times, it seems that it is also the right choice to leave the infantry and run first.

Zhukov made the right choice, Guderian also made his right choice, and now only they are left, they have no right to choose, they can only wait to become prisoners of war.

"Suddenly! Dodo! "At this moment, behind a mound in the distance, a dense burst of gunfire rang out.

The German panzers had just driven over, and now they were to the south. They are chasing the rout of the 372nd Infantry Division, and if they find themselves with Soviets behind them, they will stop and solve the trouble behind them first!

He can't afford to gamble on this risk, if he leads the army commander and the division commander into a dead end, wouldn't he become a sinner?

"Who ordered the retreat? If we are stationed in the same place, we have a position, and we can hold it for a few hours, right? Watching his troops collapse in an instant, the commander complained with a crying voice.

Everyone knows the order, of course, it was given by Zhukov. At such times, it seems that it is also the right choice to leave the infantry and run first.

Zhukov made the right choice, and Guderian made his own right choice
