Just after Ciric had already set his sights on the United States, a grand encirclement was unfolding quickly and efficiently in Kyiv.

The German encirclement was huge, and there must have been a big gap in this huge encirclement, and now, the Soviet troops in the encirclement tried in vain to break through these encirclements.

At this time, what is the difference between a breakout and a counterattack? If the only difference is that because of Stalin's insistence, the casualties of the Soviet Red Army would have increased considerably.

"Boom, boom." The Tiger tank's tall and mighty posture galloping across the vast plains of Ukraine is now a familiar tactic for the German army.

With the arrival of the follow-up troops, the German army gradually increased in number, and they began to carry out the inevitable practice at the beginning of the encirclement, dividing the encirclement into several small encirclements.

It was in Romny that the 1st SS Panzer Corps, which arrived first, began to march westward, towards Kiev, and they rowed all the way through and split the encirclement in two!

At the front, still the 1st Heavy Tank Battalion, Carl Bowman was in high spirits and rushed to the front with his crew.

"Grenade preparation. Directly ahead of the target, a military truck. Carl Bowman shouted.

For him, it was not enjoyable to come all the way, he did not meet a suitable target at all, and he felt that it was a waste to hit a car with his precious grenade!

"Boom!" With the roar of the tank, the truck in front turned into a burning fire and moved on!

On the map, a clear line was drawn, and in two days they completed the interspersed passage from Romny to Kiev, dividing the defenders of eastern Kiev into two, then four, eight, and eat them in one bite!

Where exactly are the tanks of the Soviets? Bowman was extremely disappointed.

Suddenly, his expression was strange, and through his observation hole, he could clearly see that on the Soviet position in front of him, a Soviet soldier came out of the trench, raised his bayonet, and bravely rushed towards his side!

Are the Soviets crazy?

"Machine guns, kill them." Bowman gave the order coldly, and the radio soldier in front, who was also a machine gun operator, and the light machine gun in front of him soon sounded like a chainsaw.

On the battlefield, the clear voice of a loudspeaker was heard, it was Stalin's speech, his speech, it was inspiring, but unfortunately useless.

Rows and rows of Soviet soldiers fell, and their charge was doomed to death.

Moscow.

Stalin looked at the map and was speechless for a long time.

The blockade of the German Southern Advance Corps by the Bryansk Front, which he had hoped for, did not materialize at all, and after a slight move, they suffered heavy losses and were forced to evacuate.

Germany's huge army corps is constantly pouring into Kiev, and now, the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army in Kiev are in danger of being annihilated.

Stalin's hands trembled a little, he picked up his large smoking pot, held it in his mouth, did not light it, just put it down again, and repeated it several times.

No one spoke, everyone knew that Stalin had made another bad move.

Stalin's vain attempt to organize a resolute resistance in Kiev in a vain attempt to block the Germans in western Ukraine has now been completely shattered.

Stalin was reluctant to give up Kiev, because to abandon Kiev would be to give up Ukraine, and Ukraine was the granary of the Soviets, and once Ukraine was taken away by the Germans, the Soviets would be starving.

If there is no food, how can you fight?

And now, Stalin's insistence has put the precious Soviet army in danger of being wiped out again.

"Comrade Stalin, General Zhukov is here." At this moment, a voice came from beside him.

Zhukov, because he insisted on withdrawing troops from Kiev, was pushed to the reserve by Stalin, and now, Stalin called Zhukov to Moscow, and Stalin's attitude is already obvious.

Zhukov walked in, his gaze was still firm: "Comrade Stalin, now, we can no longer hesitate, we must give an order to immediately abandon Kiev and let the army break through." We need to organize troops in the eastern part of the encirclement and open the opening for the troops inside the encirclement. ”

Zhukov did not hold grudges, he was still conscientious in the reserves, urgently organized more than 20 reserve infantry divisions for the Soviets, and sent them to the front, and Zhukov did a good job.

And now, having returned to the center of power, Zhukov still insisted on his point of view and dared to put it directly to Stalin.

Now, Kyiv must be abandoned!

Stalin nodded: "Yes, Shaposhnikov, immediately convey my order to let the Southwestern Front break through from the encirclement to the east and move to our interior." ”

As the chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army, Shaposhnikov was unknown, he was just Stalin's microphone, and now, when Stalin spoke, he immediately went down to deliver orders.

The rest of the people sighed in their hearts, knowing that this was the case, why bother withdrawing the troops in the encirclement at the beginning, but now there is nothing, there are more than 700,000 Soviet troops there, and the mobilization of these troops to Moscow is enough to fight a decisive battle with the Germans outside Moscow.

It's a pity, Zhukov strongly suggested it at the beginning, but it was degraded, and now...

Zhukov did not complain, he was just trying his best to save the current situation, and just after saying what happened in Kiev, Zhukov continued to propose: "Comrade Stalin, I suggest that we hold a military parade in Moscow. Make up for the regret that we didn't hold a military parade on May 1, Labor Day. ”

In Soviet tradition, on May 1, 1923, in order to celebrate International Labor Day, the Soviet Union held its first military parade on Red Square in Moscow, and it was also the first May 1 International Labor Day parade in the Soviet Union.

Historically, it was not until after World War II that the Soviet Union established Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War on May 9 and decided to change the date of the military parade from the original May 1 International Labor Day to Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War. May 1 International Labor Day was celebrated with a large parade.

The tradition of the Labor Day parade has been until this year, because the Great Patriotic War disrupted everything, so this parade was over, and now, Zhukov actually put forward this opinion at such a time?

Stalin, however, was in the spotlight, and he already understood Zhukov's intentions.

This is the most memorable military parade in the history of the Soviet Union, and this military parade will give the greatest encouragement to the Soviet army and people, even in the case of the loss of the land and the continuous defeat of the army, the Soviets will definitely not give in, and they will overcome all difficulties with a fearless spirit to meet the final victory!
