The offensive of the German army and its allies became more and more fierce, which caused great casualties to the Russian troops stationed in the city of Smolensk, and at the same time, it also greatly affected their morale.

As more and more casualties and more positions are lost, the Russian army's will to resist is no longer so strong.

This change is undoubtedly more unfavorable for the Russian army. In this case, they will not be able to hold out for long in Smolensk. In other words, they will soon be wiped out by the Germans and their allies.

The Western Front of the Russian Army originally had five infantry armies, one tank army and one air force arm. However, the 3rd Army, the 3rd Tank Army, had already been eaten by the Germans. The 1st Army of the Air Force was lost to the Luftwaffe at the beginning of the war. The other four infantry armies also suffered heavy losses. After retreating to Smolensk, it was besieged by the Germans and their allies, which caused heavy losses to the Russian army. Many of the Russian army groups simply do not have many troops left.

At the headquarters of the Western Front of the Russian Army, a military meeting is being held. However, except for the political commissar Fominech and the other political workers, who were still full of confidence and fighting spirit, the other military commanders were about to despair. Even General Timoshenko, the commander of the front army, knew that this time it was probably more than lucky.

"Comrades, the Germans and their servant armies are attacking more and more fiercely, and our casualties are getting bigger and bigger. Now, what do we do? General Timoshenko said.

"Comrade Commander, our casualties are very large. But I believe that we have also inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans and their servants. So, as long as we persevere, the victory will be ours! Admiral Fominekh looked as if the current defeat was only temporary, and they would soon be able to win.

"Yes, although we have lost more than 100,000 troops. But the losses we inflicted on the Germans and the servants were undoubtedly greater than that. Therefore, if we continue to fight like this, we will not suffer. Another political worker also said.

For a while, those political workers spoke one after another, looking very optimistic about the current war situation, as if the Russian army would not only not lose, but would soon win.

The commanders of those group armies all looked very ugly. Do these guys really know about the battle situation? They would only shout a few slogans of loyalty to Joseph, and as a result, they were promoted to high positions, and the military commanders formed a supervision so that they could only hold their positions.

Now, these guys' judgment of the situation is even more wrong if they can't keep up. However, there is no way around it. Anyway, it seems that they will only have one final result, and that is to be wiped out by the Germans and their allies.

"Even if our soldiers could exchange one for two Poles or Belarusians, what would they do? The Germans and their servant troops attacking Smolensk could have reached more than 800,000. And, on the outskirts of Smolensk, there are more than a million German troops and their servant army, how can we fight against them? Major General Korobkov, commander of the 4th Army of the Russian Army, said dissatisfied.

Suddenly, Fomineh and a cadre of political workers suddenly looked bad. This is the first time that those military commanders have refuted them! In their opinion, this is undoubtedly a provocation to them.

"Comrade Korobkov, are you questioning our judgment and questioning the wise leadership of Comrade Joseph? Defending Smolensk and fighting to the last soldier was the order of Comrade Joseph. If you dare to disobey the orders of Comrade Joseph, this is a betrayal, a traitor to the party and the country! "As soon as Admiral Fominech came up, he buttoned his hat and put several large hats on Major General Korobkov. You know, if these charges are confirmed, Major General Korobkov will not only lose his post, but even be tried.

Major General Korobkov was also a little flustered, he was a man who had experienced the Great Purge, and knew that these guys could do anything under the guise of loyalty to Comrade Joseph. Over the years, there have been quite a few generals killed by them.

"Okay, at this juncture, the Germans are attacking fiercely, and if we still have to fight among ourselves, we don't have to do anything, just wait for the Germans to wipe us out!" General Timoshenko said dissatisfied.

If those political workers are allowed to mess around, it will cause even more damage to the combat effectiveness of the troops. When the time comes, they will lose faster.

When Formineh heard this, he looked at General Timoshenko, but in the end he didn't say anything more. General Timoshenko is no ordinary person, he has a deep influence in the Russian army, and these political workers do not want to attack him.

"Comrades, although our casualties are large. However, since Comrade Joseph has asked us to defend Smolensk to the death, we must fulfill the tasks assigned by Comrade Joseph. We need to drag the Germans here to the death to buy more time for the build-up of troops in the rear. This time, the Germans, apparently, were aiming for the complete destruction of us. Even if all of them die here, we will never be able to let the Germans' conspiracy succeed! General Timoshenko said.

"Yes, Comrade Commander!" Everyone replied loudly.

Only Timoshenko knew that he was talking nothing more than empty words. There is no solution to the current crisis. As the Germans intensified their offensive, General Timoshenko knew that the remnants of their garrison in Smolensk would probably not last long. Perhaps soon, they will be destroyed.

Although, I was very unwilling in my heart and didn't want to die like this. But General Timoshenko had no other way. With Joseph having clearly abandoned them, their fate was undoubtedly sealed.

It's just that Timoshengo is very unwilling. He is only forty-four years old, and now he is already a general, and he is only one step away from marshals. At his age, he can undoubtedly be regarded as in the prime of life. If he was allowed to die like this, it would undoubtedly be unacceptable to him. But now in such a desperate situation, can he have any other way?
