At this moment, Andrei remembered the evaluation of his previous life: The Soviet Union fought a general war when the national strength was exhausted, and this was the most ambitious war between countries in human history. From June 22, 1941 to May 9, 1945, for 1,418 days and nights, the two world-class industrial powers fought to the death, from the Arctic Circle to the Caucasus Mountains, from the Volga River to the Elbe River in the heart of Europe, the battle line stretched for thousands of kilometers. In every major battle, both sides committed millions of troops, thousands of tanks, and tens of thousands of artillery pieces. The soldiers who participated in the war came from dozens of countries throughout the Eurasian continent, and on average, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were killed every day, until the territory of one side was completely occupied and the armed forces were almost completely wiped out. The war completely changed the political landscape of Europe and the world, and turned the victor into a superpower, ruling the fate of half the world for 50 years.

In 1941, the population of the Soviet Union, including Western Ukraine, Moldova, and the three Baltic states, which were newly annexed before the war, was almost 190 million. If we subtract more than half of the women, and then subtract the minors and the elderly among the men, the middle-aged and young men in the entire Soviet Union are about 50 or 60 million, of which the Red Army suffered more than 24 million casualties, plus the casualties of male civilians, it can be said that half of the adult men in the Soviet Union are either killed or wounded. The hardest hit were Soviet men born in 1923. [In the year of AIQU, they turned 18 years old, just in time to join the army, and after four years of fighting, 80% of them did not live to the day of victory. In 1945, the total population of the Soviet Union fell from 190 million in 1941 to 167 million, with only 43.2 per cent of men and 56.8 per cent of women.

Not a single family was intact at that time, Stalin's son died at the front (due to the change of the previous protagonist, Yakov was not captured, but was already killed). Mikoyan's son died at the front, and Timoshenko's son died at the front.

And Chuikov here saw Andrei's contemplation and asked: "Andrey, after a while, Comrade Zhukov will come here, I just want to ask if you think we can win this battle?" ”

And Andrei replied firmly: "Comrade commander, it must be us who will win this war, we have tough fighters, great Soviets, and firm commanders like you, and at the same time we have no way to retreat now, think about the sacrificed soldiers, and this is the pride of the motherland, we will fight to the end!" ”

Now Andrei's heart is surging: this is a nation that has always admired heroes, courage and sacrifice. In the cold north, surrounded by strong enemies, without such a spirit, it is impossible to survive at all. In the Great Patriotic War, the courage and heroism of the Soviet army were once again aroused, and the names of 11,000 Soviet heroes were embellished in the annals of history, and a series of magnificent feats moved the whole world.

On August 24, 1941, Alexander? Pankratov sacrificed himself to block the gun holes of the German pillboxes. In the whole of 1941 there were 5 people, people. During the entire period of the Great Patriotic War, there were 276 heroes of the Matlosov type.

Moscow, 7 October. At the critical juncture of the defense of Moscow, Stalin resolutely held a military parade on Red Square as usual. It was snowing heavily that day, and the German soldiers were under the city. The Soviet troops loaded their guns and drove directly to the front from the parade ground. Stalin's impassioned speech rang in their ears: "The war you are waging is a war of liberation, a war of justice. Let our forefathers ——— Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Kuzma Minin, Dmitry Pozharsky, Alexander? The heroic images of Suvorov and Mikhail Kutuzov inspire you in this war! Let the banner of victory of the great Lenin guide you! ……”

On the 27th, the famous Soviet composer Shostakovich completed the Seventh Symphony in Kuibyshev, dedicated to Leningrad under siege. On August 9, 1942, the Soviet Union decided to perform the Seventh Symphony in Leningrad. At that time, the city had been under siege by the Germans for a year, and the only food available to civilians every day was 125 grams of black bread mixed with sawdust. In order to form a full band, the dying musicians were either carried out of their darkened apartments or rushed back from the front line under heavy fire. In order to gain quiet playing time, the Soviets carried out heavy artillery bombardment of the Germans before the performance. Then the people stepped out of their bunkers and into the streets, listening to the music broadcast on the radio. At the end of the performance, the entire band collapsed, and many people fainted, but the performance greatly stimulated the morale of the people of Leningrad. During the 880-day siege, 640,000 Leningraders starved to death, even to the point of changing their children, but never surrendered.

The USSR was a country that attached great importance to the honor of its servicemen. Even in the most difficult years of the war, the USSR did not forget to reward its heroes. The Soviet Army's medals are of many types and exquisitely crafted to be rare in the world. During the Great Patriotic War, more than 35 million individuals were awarded and more than 10,900 military medals were awarded. The Order of Lenin, the highest medal of the Soviet Union, was awarded 8,800 medals in platinum during the war. The Order of the Hero of the Soviet Union with the Golden Star, made of gold, awarded the Order of Victory established in November of the year, the red five-pointed star is polished with rubies, the light of the five-pointed star is made of white gold inlaid with diamonds, the disc in the middle of the medal is made of silver, and the patterns and words in the middle are made of gold inlaid with diamonds.

As for the fact that there was no way back, in September 1942, in the Battle of Stalingrad, the German Panzer Army of Hoth was invincible, and the Soviet army retreated. After an infantry division had too many fugitives, the division commander ordered the whole division to line up, and after the lecture, he raised his pistol, walked to the front row, counted them one by one, and every time he counted to ten, he shot the soldiers on the spot until all the bullets in the magazine were gone. Anyone familiar with the history of ancient Rome knows that this is known as the Law of the Eleven, a punishment for troops who flee from battle. Russia is no stranger to this, and this law prevailed in the tsarist army. In 1918, in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the newly formed Red Army, Trotsky also used the law of eleven killings.

According to records, in total, during the entire Battle of Stalingrad, the Soviet Internal Affairs Forces executed a total of 13,500 officers and soldiers.

Thinking of these, Andre felt that his motherland in his previous life was not also able to survive to the day of victory because of those countless hot-blooded men!

Seeing Andrei's firmness, Chuikov also stood up and said excitedly: "Andrey, you're right, this is a battle that can't be lost and won't be lost, we must win the battle that is fought to the last person, and it is we who win!" ”
