Chapter 241: Take a gamble

"Then, I'll gamble with you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Suddenly, Hitler slammed his fist on the table, apparently making a decision.

Immediately, Hitler did not delay, and directly began to issue one order after another, first ordering the two army groups in the north and south to stop the offensive, retreat to the periphery of Kiev and Stalingrad respectively, suspend the offensive, and at the same time, each set aside 500,000 troops to support Moscow, which was attacking Army Group Center.

At the same time, the Wehrmacht stationed on the German-French border allocated 500,000 to support the Soviet Union.

It can be said that Germany has used almost all the forces it can to deal with the Soviet Union, and has even almost given up most of its own security, which is a desperate performance.

Stalingrad is in the southwest of Moscow, so the fastest support of 500,000 German troops drawn from here to attack Moscow, the addition of 500,000 German fresh troops, injected a dose of strength into the German army, but it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Soviet army.

The Soviets quickly found out the source of this support for the German army, and Stalin immediately ordered the Soviet troops in Stalingrad to immediately attack the German forces outside Stalingrad. Stalin's aim was simple, that is, he hoped that the Soviet troops inside the city could defeat the German troops outside the city, and then they could rush to support Moscow.

However, if the Soviet army wanted to take the initiative to attack, it undoubtedly directly gave up the geographical advantage, but let the German army occupy the geographical advantage, because after the German army withdrew outside the city, it seized the time to build a lot of fortifications and waited for the Soviet army to attack.

The top brass of the Soviet army also knew that the morale of the Soviet army was very low at this time, so when the order to attack was issued, as soon as the attacking troops set off, the overseers had already set up their machine guns on the rear flank, and once a soldier did not receive the order to retreat and retreated on his own, they would be shot directly by their own people on the spot.

Therefore, the Soviet army no longer had any choice, only to attack, only to break through the positions of the German army, they had a chance of survival. However, in many cases, it does not mean that victory can be achieved without dying, and the Soviet army at this time does not know how far behind the German army in terms of tactics and individual soldier quality.

Groups of Soviet troops, driven by the supervising team, shouted the slogan of "Ula" to cheer themselves up, and saw their comrades-in-arms in front of them fall under the fierce fire of the German army like cutting wheat, and the Soviet troops behind did not dare to retreat easily, so they could only continue to charge numbly.

Batch by batch, as if pigs were sent to the slaughterhouse, the front of the German army was covered with the corpses of Soviet soldiers, and the blood flowed like a river.

Although the Soviet troops at Stalingrad were more than twice as large as the German army, the Germans had air superiority and were ahead of the Soviet army in heavy firepower.

The main reason is that during this period of time, due to the sudden attack of the German army, the Soviet army lost too many heavy weapons such as aircraft, artillery, and tanks, and the replenishment of heavy weapons was not achieved overnight, so the Soviet army was almost at a disadvantage in other aspects except for the superiority in troops.

But even so, the Soviet army still had to bite the bullet and launch rounds of attacks against the German army, with at least tens of thousands of casualties every day, and the largest one, even directly exceeded 100,000.

But even if the Soviet army was so reckless in sacrifice, it still failed to penetrate the German defense. In fact, the German army's fortifications were not very strong, after all, they were only built in a hurry, and the most important thing was the combat quality and tactical literacy of the German army, which could not be made up for at once by manpower.

The Soviets could not open up the situation here, but the reinforcement of the 500,000 German troops in the direction of Moscow played a significant role, and with the support of this new force, the Germans quickly launched several rounds of powerful offensives, and the Soviet defense lines outside Moscow were scattered.

In desperation, the Soviet army had to shrink its forces and retreat into Moscow to hold on, and almost all the outer positions were abandoned.

Shortly after the Soviet army retreated into Moscow, the second batch of German troops reinforced from Ukraine also arrived, and the situation in Moscow was even more unoptimistic.

Stalin was so angry that he was even more angry with the British and French bystanders, and he had already sent people to England and France more than once to lobby for the German threat, and if the Soviet Union had perished, it would be the turn of Britain and France next.

In fact, Britain and France did not think about this problem, they were also worried that after Germany killed the Soviet Union, they would quickly turn around and attack other European countries, but they were used to compromising, and they also instigated Germany to attack the Soviet Union.

Now, if Britain and France were to take the initiative to stop Germany's actions, one would be unable to get over face, and more importantly, they would still be afraid of war, even if they learned that the Wehrmacht had transferred hundreds of thousands of troops, and there were not many troops left on the border with France.

The attitude of Britain and France was unclear, and Hitler was actually very nervous, and at Wei Qidong's suggestion, he also took the initiative to send people to contact Britain and France, and confidently told the two countries that it would take at most one month for the Soviet Union to be defeated.

However, the territory of the Soviet Union was vast, and Germany could not manage it alone, so it was suggested that Britain, France, and Germany should jointly manage it. As a result, Germany suggested that Britain and France also take the opportunity to send troops to land from the north of the Soviet Union. Since the main forces of the Soviet army were almost completely pinned down by the Germans, there should be no problem with the landing of British and French troops in the Soviet Union.

The meaning of the Germans is very clear, the Soviet Union has been defeated by our Germany, but we Germany do not want to swallow the fruits of victory alone, you Britain and France should also come and share a piece of the free soup, we don't mind. Now that the Soviet Union has been defeated by our Germany, there is no risk for you, Britain and France, to share the fruits of victory, and you will have something to eat when you come.

Look, how generous Germany is.

As soon as the Germans behaved like this, Britain and France were even more embarrassed to fall into the ground.

However, Britain and France did not accept the Germans' suggestion to send troops to the Soviet Union, not because they did not look down on the interests of the Soviet Union, but because they did not want to start a war and did not dare to steal food from the mouths of the Germans. Although the Germans are so generous, maybe they are just polite, but Britain and France can't really not treat themselves as outsiders, if they really take it, the Germans will really feel comfortable?

Although the Germans failed to pull Britain and France into their ship to attack the Soviet Union, they succeeded in dividing their possibilities for moving closer to the Soviet Union.

President Roosevelt more than once bluntly said that Britain and France were short-sighted, and he gave a vivid example of three monkeys being kept in cages, and one day, one of them was caught and killed, and the other two monkeys clapped their hands and said that they would soon escape.

However, they did not expect that the death of the first monkey only delayed their death a little. Now, Su Yingfa is the three monkeys.

In fact, the few monkeys in the game are not really completely ignorant of this truth, but people have an incomprehensible luck psychology a lot of time.

For example, some soldiers, knowing that surrender will die, but they still have that little bit of luck, put down the weapons that can resist and surrender, until the moment before the enemy's bullet pierced their body, they will feel regret.
