Chapter 1028 Lupaus, who was suddenly promoted to marshal

With this order, Lupaus dug up his own grave.

The remaining panzer regiments of the German 14th Panzer Division annihilated the 3rd Regiment of the Soviet 1st Guards Cavalry Corps, which was trying to carry out a detour, but its anti-tank gun positions were broken through by the Soviets and suffered heavy casualties.

The Soviet 1st Tank Army had forced the German 48th Panzer Army to retreat, while the Soviet 26th Tank Army had captured the town of Pelerazovsky, about 130 kilometers northwest of Stalingrad, and the German advantage was wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, the Soviet Air Force also carried out immediate bombing of the German-occupied areas, which also provided an opportunity for Wang Liang and them to break the siege.

With the help of sudden artillery support, Wang Liang and the others moved quickly, trying to get rid of the encirclement of the Kai German army.

Soviet bombers bombed aimlessly, with the aim of disrupting the deployment of the German army and striking at the German army's living forces to the greatest extent.

Of course, Wang Liang, who was in the enemy's position, could not help but become the target of artillery bombardment, after all, artillery shells do not have long eyes.

The strings of bombs dropped by the bombers blew up the German army to the bitter end, and at the same time, the Soviet soldiers were killed, this is a cruel war, and the one who lives is the king.

"Quick, get moving, break out!" Seeing that there were a lot of Soviet soldiers lying on their stomachs, Wang Liang yelled.

Rychagov followed Wang Liang closely, he knew the boss's skills, and there was nothing wrong with following the boss.

Those Soviet soldiers who were slightly behind were annihilated by artillery fire in an instant.

With the town of Pelerazovsky, the Soviet offensive became more and more intense, and the German advantage was reduced little by little.

The Stalingrad Front broke through the German line for 50 km.

By this time, the remaining Romanian units in the north had been divided and encircled, and one by one they were wiped out, and the Red Army began to attack the flanks of the German 4th Panzer Corps and the 6th Army Corps.

The German 22nd Panzer Division, although attempting to launch a small counteroffensive, had been depleted to the size of a company and was forced to retreat to the southwest.

The Soviet 26th Tank Army, having eliminated most of the strength of the Romanian 1st Panzer Division, continued its offensive to the southwest, but did not destroy the Romanian remnants left behind, even though the remnants of the Romanian 5th Army had regrouped and established a strong defensive line, waiting for the rescue of the German 48th Panzer Army.

German command.

"Report, General. The Soviets are less than 40 kilometers from our headquarters, and we already have no remaining troops to stop the Soviet offensive in the south. To the south, the Soviet 4th Mechanized Corps continued its offensive northward, clearing the German defenders of several towns in the area, aiming directly at Stalingrad. ”

"Report, the Führer ordered us to fully defend in all directions and to divide the troops between the Don and Volga rivers into the Stalingrad fortress."

Hearing this news, Lupus realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Soviet army, and Führer Hitler's order completely cut off the hope of the 6th Army Corps to break through.

The Soviet encirclement grew stronger, and the 6th Army, other Axis units, and most of the German units of the 4th Panzer Army were trapped to the death.

At this moment, where does Lupaus still have the heart to take care of the Soviet army squad at the door, now he needs to think more about how to save the crisis, the Führer asked him to die, but he didn't want to die!

"Report, General, the 16th Panzergrenadier Division defied orders and carried out a breakout operation without authorization."

"Report, General, the soldiers of the 4th Romanian Army Corps took advantage of the lack of coordination between the infantry and the tanks when the Soviet tank corps tried to expand the breakthrough along our southern flank, and most of them escaped from the encirclement."

Hearing these two pieces of news, Lu Baosi was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and he scolded: "Bastard, damn bastard, who let them break through without permission?" Damn Romanians, I'm going to kill them all! ”

The escape of the 16th Panzergrenadier Division and the Romanian 4th Army Corps was tantamount to a trap for Lupaus.

These two forces ran away, and the Soviets could immediately cross the Don River and attack the town of Karachi, and now the German troops defending Karachi were mostly composed of maintenance and supply personnel, and they did not have any combat effectiveness at all.

Once the town of Karachi was lost, the Germans were completely destroyed.

"Give me orders to the defenders of Karachi Town, and defend me to the death at all costs!"

"In addition, send a telegram to the Führer to report on the current situation of our army."

Lupaus was disheartened, the stall that had been in business for so long was destroyed overnight, and his army was completely eaten by the Soviet army.

Now the best outcome was to return to Berlin alive, and Lupaus was waiting for an order from Führer Hitler to allow him to return to Berlin on a military plane.

"Report, the Führer calls back!" A word from the communications officer silenced the entire command, which directly affected everyone's life or death.

The formation of military planes has been prepared and can be towed to the ground by military jeeps at any time to carry out flight missions.

"Read!" With a broken voice, Lupaus motioned to the communications officer to read the telegram.

The communications officer hesitated for a few seconds, but still read the telegram truthfully: "Promote Admiral Paulus to Field Marshal." ”

Although it was only twelve words, this was a death sentence for the entire command of the Sixth Army.

Lupaus snatched the telegram, confirmed its contents, and then slumped limply on the couch, and the other officers in the command looked gloomy.

Hitler's meaning couldn't have been more obvious, wanting Lupuus to commit suicide, thus aligning with the story of the heroic sacrifice of the Sixth Army.

In fact, as soon as the order was issued, a German fighter plane took off from Berlin, and they were responsible for the airdrop to the outskirts of Stalingrad, and the airdrop was to be carried out by the rank of marshal belonging to Lupaus.

Hitler was now afraid that Lupaus would surrender to the Soviets, so he couldn't wait to shove the rank of marshal into his hands.

You know, there has never been a German marshal in history who surrendered, and this is not just a military rank, but an invisible pressure.

"Let the pilot inspect the warplane." Lupaus was silent for a long time, but finally made up his mind.

He didn't want to die, let alone fall into the hands of the Soviet army, and now the only option was to flee to a safe place in a fighter plane.

**************

"Boss, look, what's the situation? Nazi warplanes! Rychagov said, pointing to the three behemoths that suddenly appeared on the horizon.

At this moment, Wang Liang and the others had successfully escaped the pursuit of the German army and hid on the spot, but the number of people was also reduced to seven.

"These guys are trying to escape." Wang Liang understood what was going on at a glance, and ordered: "Go, find a few grenadiers." Want to run? It's not that easy. ”

"Okay." Rychagov crawled and moved, looking for heavy fire weapons.
