Chapter 461: The Painful Automobile Factory

June 27, 1941. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Kiev.

Throughout the western part of the USSR, the USSR was organizing a great retreat. They burned the wheat that was about to ripen in the fields and moved the factory offices to the east, to the east.

In the train station, a large number of cars carrying machinery and raw materials drive into the train station, and the workers carry the machines off the train and carry them on the train little by little. In order to facilitate transportation, large machines have been disassembled into parts. Technicians stared at the workers, fearing that one part was missing.

Soon, the loading of more than a dozen wagons of machines was completed, and several trailers were equipped with large machines. The railway dispatchers had already arranged the locomotive, the locomotive had already fired, the steam had been filled, and it was just waiting for the order to start.

No one noticed that in a small building opposite the station, a window was open, and inside the window was a curtain, and two people behind the curtain were loading a transmitter into a suitcase. One humanitarian: "Will German planes come and bomb?" ”

The other said, "Don't worry." Japan and Germany work very closely. The telegram we sent was, in fact, addressed to Germany. Quick, in two minutes, the plane will come. ”

The two got out of the house and got into a car parked on the side of the road. This is the design of the GA61 by the Gorky Automobile Plant, the first light off-road vehicle of the USSR. GAZ, got it? It is the famous Gas, Gas, which is the abbreviation of Gorky Automobile Plant.

Maxim, Gorky, the great Soviet writer. Who else knows about him other than studying literature? In Russian, Gorky means pain, and Maxim means maximum. The greatest suffering can produce great literature, "Childhood", "In the World", and "My University".

Of course, the Gorky Automobile Plant, you can't consider it a painful car plant, nothing more than a name.

The car left the station and headed out of the city. The direction they take is the east, to the next city.

As soon as they left Kyiv, two people in the car heard the sound of a plane flying. Soon, they heard an explosion. They were familiar with the city of Kyiv, and the sound of the explosion was heard at the train station.

The two stopped the car. This section of the road is on a high slope, just enough to see the situation in the city and carefully observe the effects of the bombing.

As soon as a train left the station, it was spotted by a German plane and chased after it. The plane swooped down along the railroad and dropped several aerial bombs, which blew up the train in one fell swoop.

Soon, the bombing stopped, and the train station was on fire.

The two men who were observing on the high ground on the side of the road immediately turned on the transmitter, and after calling, they received an answer, and immediately sent a very short telegram: "Confirm that the Kiev railway station has been successfully bombed." ”

A telegram was sent. The two of them immediately hit the road.

A few days after the start of the war, the Soviet authorities immediately began to mobilize troops to meet the German army. Order in the troops everywhere was quickly restored. Although the battle was unfavorable, it delayed the fierce German offensive.

While counterattacking, the Soviets soon realized that the Soviets were unlikely to hold the Germans back on the Soviet Union's western front, and that the Germans would soon occupy more land. On the land, a large number of industrial facilities, a large number of factories, especially arsenals, would fall into the hands of the Germans.

As a result, the Soviet Union set up an evacuation committee to evacuate the industries of the western part of the Soviet Union to the Ural Mountains and to Central Asia.

In the evacuation committee, Shvernik was the director, and Mikoyan was one of the main leaders, responsible for the evacuation of workers and industrial facilities. He did a great deal of work in the retreat.

Mikoyan, whose full name was Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan, was a loyal supporter of Stalin and became a member of the Central Committee of the Party in 1923. In 1926 he was appointed People's Commissar for Domestic and Foreign Trade and has held this post ever since. In 1935, he was elected as a member of the Political Governance Bureau and became an expert on trade issues in the Political Governance Bureau.

Engaged in industrial retreat, he is an expert. Seeing that the German army was not far from Kiev, the Evacuation Committee concentrated its retreating forces and evacuated the industrial facilities in Kiev, but it did not expect that it was bombed just at the beginning.

The plane left after only two minutes of bombing, and the personnel of the Kiev Committee immediately came to the site of the railway station, and after investigation, the station was finished.

The station immediately put forward a plan to set up a temporary platform on the railway and continue to load the trains.

Mikoyan, who was far away in Moscow, immediately approved the plan and asked them to organize a retreat overnight.

This order was issued, and Mikoyan immediately issued another order approving the withdrawal plan of the aircraft industry, ordering the immediate evacuation of several aircraft design bureaus and aircraft factories.

Among the aircraft design bureaus that were evacuated was the Mikoyan Grevich Aircraft Design Bureau. And this Mikoyan is the brother of the politician Mikoyan, the aircraft designer Mikoyan.

Aircraft designer Mikoyan, who entered the airfield after graduating from university, entered the design office of the plant in 1937 and worked on aircraft design. In this design room there is a talented designer named Grevich. Mikoyan and Grevich hit it off at first sight and began to develop a new aircraft.

To accelerate the design and manufacture of aircraft, 1939

Year 2

In January, Stalin personally presided over a meeting in the Kremlin and decided to form a new design bureau based on merit. Mikoyan and Grevich's design scheme was selected, and permission was given to form a design bureau.

The names of Sukhoi, Yakovlev, Ilyushin Design Bureau, etc., which became thunderous in the future, were also formed in this era.

The Mikoyan and Grevich Design Bureau, which occupies a place in the history of world aviation, was born. The combined prefix of the two surnames is "MiG", and the aircraft they designed is the world-famous "MiG" aircraft.

The politician Mikoyan did not take care of his brother, and all the aircraft industry had to be evacuated. In addition, other military industries are also actively working out evacuation plans, and tank, artillery, and firearms factories will be evacuated from one heavy industry base after another.

German troops are progressing well in the Belarusian direction. On the 23rd, the Germans occupied Grodno. The 10th and 3rd armies of the Soviet army each carried out a counter-assault on the city, but did not achieve its goal.

On the 24th, the Germans occupied Vilnius. General Pavlov urgently ordered the reserves of the Western Front to advance out of the Bialystok salient.

On the 25th, the Germans advanced deep into the rear of the Soviet army on the Western Front and encircled them on both flanks, putting them in danger of being encircled. The 3rd and 10th Soviet armies were ordered to evacuate the salient through a corridor only 60 kilometers wide.

On the 26th~27th, two German armored groups successively advanced to the outskirts of Minsk and occupied the city on the 28th; The 11 divisions of the 3rd and 10th armies, the main forces of the Western Front, were encircled in the area near Novogrudok between Bialystok and Minsk.

On the 29th, the German 9th and 4th armies converged in the area east of Bialystok and divided the besieged Soviet army into two parts. On July 9, most of the besieged Soviet troops were annihilated, some broke through the encirclement, and one carried out guerrilla activities in the rear of the German army. According to the German war report: about 324,000 Soviet troops were captured in this battle, 3,332 tanks and 1,809 artillery pieces were captured, and almost the entire territory of Belarus was occupied.

Field Marshal Fedor von Bock, the commander of the German Army's Center Group, was highly regarded in Germany, and Guderian destroyed a large number of Soviet tanks.

On the contrary, the commander of the Western Front, the commander of the Soviet Union, D. G. Pavlov, was arrested and executed in July.

At the same time as the occupation of Belleros, the Germans immediately drove the prisoners and repaired the bombed airfields, and within two days, some airfields on the border were repaired, and the Germans began to use them as a base to bomb the interior of the Soviet Union. It was from Belarus that the planes that bombed Kyiv took off.

1. The German offensive in the center was the smoothest. Soon to Smolensk. At this time, Hitler suddenly changed his attention and demanded that the offensive on the central line be postponed and moved to the southern front to seize the granaries and oil of the Soviet Union. This objectively saved Moscow. Many people attacked Hitler and called him the most stupid. Actually, Hitler was not necessarily stupid. Attacking the millions of Soviet troops, where did the food and drink come from? It must be a logistical problem. An example of this is the later German army's inability to find padded clothes for the troops at the front. How can they attack Moscow without oil?
