Chapter 565: Retreat

"Comrades of the Red Army!" Qin Chuan continued to shout: "You should know that Sevastopol is no longer able to hold it, and where are your commanders shouting at you 'fight to the last moment'?" ”

As he was talking, the whistling sound of an airplane faintly came from the direction of Sevastopol, and Qin Chuan took this opportunity to shout: "Look, that's the plane that came to pick up your commander and fled to the Caucasus, you should know that this is your last chance to get out of here!" ”

The Soviet troops at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but riot.

"Comrade Igor!" Someone shouted at Major General Igor: "Are they telling the truth? ”

"No, it's not true!" Igor replied: "I didn't get any news, how could the Germans know?" ”

"Maybe that's right!" The regimental commander responded: "They will not let us know about their escape, and the Germans are constantly watching them!" ”

After a pause, the signal soldier continued: "We really can't contact the headquarters!" ”

This immediately caused a panic among the Soviet troops.

"They really left us here!"

"They ordered us to fight until the last moment, but they themselves ran away shamelessly!"

"The most shameful thing is that they didn't even say a word to us!"

"Forget it, if you tell us, how can they escape in peace?"

"That's right, we fight here so they can escape in peace!"

……

All kinds of rumors are rampant, in fact, this can be said to be a rumor or not a rumor.

It was a rumor, but the officers did not actually flee, they retreated on the orders of Stalin and Oktyablisky.

It is not a rumor that these officers were indeed deceitful about the garrison in Sevastopol, and that they had indeed left the soldiers and fled.

Although this is understandable, because countries around the world choose to do so when they encounter such a situation...... The Germans also used planes to evacuate senior officers and tank crews when they lost the Battle of Moscow (note: skilled tank crews were also a valuable resource for the German army), and MacArthur was also evacuated alone when the American army was surrounded by Japanese troops in the Philippines.

The peculiarity of Sevastopol lies in the fact that the Soviet army has always been very demanding on its soldiers, and the commanders require the soldiers to move forward bravely, not afraid of sacrifice, and not to surrender as prisoners at any time, and even to be shot if they do not charge according to the order on the battlefield, but the officers who should be exemplary and take the lead fled at the critical moment.

This contrast made the soldiers feel betrayed by the state, and all kinds of negative emotions such as anger, disappointment, and panic suddenly came to the fore.

I don't know who started with the withdrawal of Soviet soldiers of the 388th Division towards Sevastopol, and although Major General Igor did not want to see this scene, he acquiesced to this behavior of his subordinates.

In fact, even Major General Igor wanted to go back and see if the commanders were running away, and if so, he thought that he would at least spit in the faces of the high-ranking officials who were usually sanctimonious and high-minded, which would be much more resentful than a stupid fight to the death with Germany.

This kind of psychology is actually very easy to understand, because the most hateful people in times of crisis are often not the enemy, because they are enemies, and what they do on the battlefield is what they should do. The most hateful are those friends and comrades-in-arms who stab in the back, which is the most difficult to accept and unforgivable.

So, soon after, even Igor joined the retreating crowd with his guards.

Colonel Slein and the German soldiers watched all this dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that Qin Chuan had "persuaded back" a division of the elite of the Soviet army in just a few words, and not long ago they were inseparable from each other, and the Germans were even ready to die.

"How do you know their commander is retreating?" Colonel Slain asked curiously.

"I don't know!" Qin Chuan sat back in the trench and replied, "But there's nothing to lose if you give it a try, isn't it?" ”

Colonel Slain couldn't help but laugh.

"Good!" Colonel Slane said: "Actually, almost perfectly, Captain, you saved us again!" ”

The situation of the Soviets was not as simple as the "retreat" that the German soldiers saw.

Rear Admiral Igor returned to Sevastopol with his troops, and then saw that the Soviet officers were indeed preparing to retreat at the port and airport, and by the time they arrived, the guards had already cordoned off these places, because they feared that the Soviets would rush to get on planes and submarines.

Igor watched all this coldly, he did not step forward to argue with the officers who fled in a hurry, nor did he treat them "bipolarly" like other soldiers.

The so-called "bipolar" refers to the fact that some of the soldiers are begging for the officers to bring a few more people with them. Most of them know that they have no hope, so they use extremely unbearable words to accuse and curse.

Faced with this situation, the officers did not dare to say anything, because they knew that the most unprovoked at this time were these helpless, desperate, and angry soldiers, and they could do anything at this time.

The officers proved to be wise, because even so, one soldier grabbed a Bobosha submachine gun and opened fire on the officer corps, one of the logistics officers fell in a pool of blood, and the ranks were in disarray, and some Soviet soldiers threw away their guns and jumped into the sea to swim to the submarine.

But what the result will be is needless to say...... Fearing overloading, the sailors on the submarine brandished rifles and beat the soldiers who tried to get on the deck of the submarine back into the sea.

Even at the last minute, the sailors did not dare to shoot, knowing that the result of the shooting would likely completely anger the soldiers and cause them to fire at the submarine.

Eventually, the submarine departed amid the shouts of the Soviet soldiers, and the planes took off one after another, and then moved away from Sevastopol.

Major General Igor thought about it and said to the soldiers around him: "Give up those unrealistic ideas, we should find a way to save ourselves!" ”

"Self-help?" The soldiers looked at Major General Igor suspiciously.

"See those cars?" Major General Igor raised his head at the cars strewn across the harbor.

"What's the use of a car?" The soldiers asked: "Comrade Igor, can we cross the Black Sea with it?" ”

"No, of course it can't!" Igor replied: "But if you can remove the wooden compartment from the back of the car and tie a dozen tires, they may be able to!" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but suddenly realize.

Igor added: "Do this in an hour, and we may still have a way to live!" ”
