Chapter 602: Daddy, Uncle is back
January 13, 1942. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Ukraine, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
This is the eastern part of Ukraine, a hilly area, the flat areas in the high places are wheat fields, the flat areas in the low-lying areas are also wheat fields, and the terraced fields on the hillsides are woods. Where the slopes are steep, there is a forest.
Ukraine is one of the largest inland countries in Europe, only smaller than Russia. At the time of the formation of the Soviet Union, Eastern Ukraine became a Soviet republic, and Western Ukraine became Polish territory under the Treaty of Riga signed between Poland and the Soviet Union.
After the Battle of Kiev, the Soviets lost 700,000 troops, and the Germans occupied the entire territory of Ukraine. As German control over Ukraine weakened, Ukrainian partisans grew rapidly.
The weather has taken a turn for the worse in the past two days, and although it is not as cold as in Moscow, the weather is also sad, especially for people living in the forest.
Deep in the forest, there are a few wooden houses, which are very simple and barely warm. White smoke came out of the chimney of the house, indicating that there were people inside.
A man who had just walked into the forest was very happy to see the white smoke in the snowstorm. He hadn't eaten for a day.
Approaching the house, a young man jumped out from behind a tree and said, "Uncle, are you back?" ”
The man said, "I'm back." Kid, now you're on duty? Is it cold? ”
The young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and said, "I've just been on duty for half an hour, and it's okay." Go ahead, Daddy is waiting for you. ”
The man who was called Uncle went into a room, and there were about twenty people in the room, a few women were baking potatoes, one was taking care of the wounded, another was teaching two children to write, and an old man in his fifties was reading a document, and when he saw the uncle come in, he said, "But I'll wait for you to come back." Is there good news? ”
Not bad, this is the Ukrainian partisans, one of the hundreds. The guerrillas fought in the mountains near their hometowns, and most of them were locals, but there were also many scattered Red Army troops, plus people from the cities. Most of the guerrillas use pseudonyms, because if they use their real names, the family in the village will suffer, and this uncle is the deputy captain and also serves as the political commissar, and the father is the captain. Some of my father's four children died on the battlefield, some died in guerrilla warfare, and two of the younger ones were killed by the Germans, so my father is in his fifties and is still leading everyone to fight guerrillas.
The commissar said: "The bandit Semyonov in Moscow was killed by the hoe squad. Is this good news? ”
Daddy said, "Really? As he spoke, he brought him some baked potatoes.
The commissar ate the potatoes and took out the documents and gave them to the father. Daddy read it and read it.
After a few words, the people in the room cheered.
After reading, the political commissar said: "We are going to have a combat mission, I want to convey the orders of my superiors with my father, let's hurry up and prepare." ”
The political commissar and the father said a few words in the corner of the room, and the father's face became gloomy. The two discussed for a long time and called a meeting of all the guerrillas.
Dozens of guerrillas gathered in the big room, and the old man said: "Just now, the political commissar brought back news from the establishment that the Ukrainian puppet army, that is, the Ukrainian rebel army, wants to conquest us. This time, they came with a regiment to annihilate our dozens of guerrillas. The higher authorities have issued an order for our dozens of guerrillas to organize themselves and have me as the commander-in-chief to fight against these puppet armies. ”
One of the partisans asked: "When will they arrive?" ”
Dad said: "There is still half a month." Their train was sabotaged by other partisans and was to be delayed for a while. On this occasion, we need to bring together the other guerrillas and act collectively. ”
Another partisan asked: "Our bullets are gone, when will the planes in the big rear arrive?" ”
Daddy said: "We have sent a telegram urging us, and it will be there soon." Don't be in a hurry, everyone. Think about it, the munitions at the airfield are ready and will be able to fly over in a few hours. We had to clear the snow from the airfield before we greeted the planes. ”
The guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines in the Soviet Union was different from that of the Chinese in that their guerrilla warfare supplies were transported by rear aircraft. When the plane came, it transported some baggage, and when it returned, it took the wounded and children away. With such superior organic conditions, if it is seen by the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, it will not be envious to death.
January 15, 1942. Ukraine, Lopetrovsk on the Dnieper.
A man with a white flag came to the forest. The sentry guerrillas arrested him, blindfolded him, took him to the guerrilla station, and handed him over to his father for interrogation.
Daddy asked, "You said you were the negotiator of the Ukrainian rebel army?" ”
The man: "Yes, I was entrusted by Bandera to negotiate with you. ”
A partisan next to him jumped up and said, "My father was killed by the Ukrainian insurgents." It's not a good thing that you collude with the German devils! ”
Bandera, the spokesman of the nationalists, a leading figure in the thirties against the USSR, was sentenced to life imprisonment. The Nazis invaded Poland and he was released. In 1940, Bandera became the leader of the revolutionary group of the "Ukrainian nationalist organization".
In 1941, the Nazi puppet state of Ukraine declared independence in Lviv, and he was immediately elected as a member of this independent government. In order to achieve the independence of Ukraine, he began to work for the Nazis.
Daddy said: "Negotiation? What do you want to do? Wasn't Bandera locked up by the Germans? ”
The man: "That's a rumor, we'll accept Bandera's leadership now." We have now occupied all the cities of Ukraine, as well as most of the villages, and established a regime. Now we have liberated the vast majority of Ukrainians from Stalin's tyranny. My purpose is for you to join our Ukrainian rebel army, encircle Ukraine, and help the German troops to advance smoothly into Stalingrad. ”
Daddy said, "You want us to surrender?" ”
The human: "Ukraine is Ukrainian, not Russian." Today, Germany has occupied Moscow for a long time, and at present, both Stalingrad and Leningrad are going to win. Stalin's government took refuge in the mountains of the Urals and was soon overrun by the passive Japanese army. The USSR is almost finished. ”
Daddy said: "The Soviet state is finished, as long as we don't die, we will resist." The Germans have now taken away all our resources and killed millions of our people. Can we work with them? ”
The man: "Aren't the Russians the same?" When the Germans called, Russia transported away our Ukrainian factories, and destroyed those that could not be transported. The unripe wheat in the fields is also burned, starving us Ukrainians. They are the same villains. We are working with the Germans to use one villain against another. We don't have to work with the Germans to the death, that's why we quarrel with the Germans. ”
Dad said: "Our people, which family has not died in the hands of the Germans?" Want us to work with the Germans? No way. ”
Another partisan next to him said: "Something happened to the Semenov gang in Moscow, Semenov was killed, you know!" Treason to the enemy, you have to think about your fate! ”
Negotiations broke up unhappily.
January 17, 1942. Ukraine, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Negotiations failed, and the Ukrainian insurgent army went on the offensive of the partisans. The purpose of the Ukrainian insurgent army's offensive is to prevent the guerrillas from sabotage.
Because the guerrillas were very scattered, at the beginning, several guerrillas suffered heavy losses, and soon a large number of guerrillas organized and fought in a planned way.
After the start of the war, the guerrillas were faced with a shortage of weapons and ammunition, a shortage of medicines, and a difficult situation.
The plane that the guerrillas had been waiting for finally arrived, only after the battle had begun. The bullets were delivered to the battlefield, and many of the partisans were already dead. This time, it was the ammunition that came with the weapons produced in the Soviet Union. Part of the partisans used American carbines. The carbine had no bullets, and a small half of the partisans had almost no combat effectiveness.
The guerrillas gathered more than 3,000 people and attacked the Ukrainian rebels from all sides, like a swarm of mosquitoes biting elephants, there was no unified command, only an approximate start time, and many guerrillas came late and actively participated in the battle.
The scale of the fighting grew, and the partisans, realizing that the troops of the Ukrainian insurgent army had actually come with more than three thousand people, hurriedly mobilized partisans from all over the country. The Ukrainian rebel army is not so much harassed by the railway, and it is also actively increasing its troops.
The battle lasted more than ten days, with three to four thousand dead and wounded on both sides, and the guerrillas finally won the victory. The Ukrainian insurgent army finally could not support it anymore and retreated.
In these ten days, the German army attracted partisans with the Ukrainian insurgents, taking the opportunity to transport troops and munitions. German, Romanian, Hungarian, and dozens of trains of munitions were delivered to the front line in Stalingrad, on the territory of the USSR.
The pressure on the Stalingrad front increased suddenly.
The partisans realized that they had been fooled, it was too late.
The guerrilla command in Ukraine was harshly criticized by Stalin, and the top commander was dismissed on the spot.
On the third day after Stalin severely punished the partisans, about a hundred more partisans surrendered to the Ukrainian insurgent army.
The situation in Ukraine immediately became severe.
The Germans actively used the puppet army, not entirely because of the successful use of Semenov's relations, but because of a mysterious diplomatic pressure. The diplomatic department said that it was diplomatic pressure, and in essence, no one knew whose idea it was.
In real history, the Ukrainian puppet army, that is, the Ukrainian rebel army, reached 100,000 people at its peak, and the main area of activity was in the western part of Ukraine. The puppet army once cooperated with the German army to massacre the Jews of western Ukraine. They also killed Jews in Poland and had a bad reputation in history.
The Germans sent more than 100,000 puppet troops to clear the partisans along the main communication routes, open up the main communication routes, and transport weapons, ammunition and cotton clothes to the Stalingrad front.

1. Lviv is located in the southwest of Ukraine and borders Poland to the west. It covers an area of 21,800 square kilometers, with the majority of Ukrainians and the rest Russians, Poles and Jews. During World War II, there were several massacres against Jews. The Germans slaughtered together with the Ukrainian insurgents, it was bad.
2. Stepan Bandera was the leader of the "Organization of Ukrainian Nationalism" (OUN) during World War II. Their army is called the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. Because Stepan and the Germans also disagreed, the Germans imprisoned him in a concentration camp for a time. At 1 p.m. on October 15, 1959, at the entrance to an apartment in Munich, Stepan Bandera collapsed in a pool of blood and soon died of poisoning. Two years later, on November 17, 1961, the West German Ministry of Justice announced that the assassin of Stepan Bandera was the Soviet spy Bogdan Stashinsky, who was on the orders of Sherepin and Khrushchev. The Ukrainian government voted to award Stepan Bandera the title of Hero of Ukraine. Because of the opposition to the Soviet Union, the modern Soviet Union rehabilitated those who collaborated with the Nazis and treated them as national heroes with great fanfare, which is really confused and bastard.
