Steiner fought a fierce battle in Kovsk, and Petrovsk was in full swing at this time, and after Guderian had eliminated Timoshenko's more than 200,000 elite forces, he immediately handed over these prisoners to Vlasov, a former Soviet general. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Vlasov's subordinate Nikolai was also more powerful, and actually recruited more than 100,000 people from these prisoners, which is the number of three full armies.

There is no shortage of weapons and equipment to arm these Russian People's Liberation Army, how many or how many are needed, since the start of the war, Guderian has captured a lot of Soviet weapons, and the artillery units of the Russian Liberation Army, Guderian is not stingy, it is completely configured according to the number of Germany, those cannons are of course also captured artillery, and the reorganized Russian Liberation Army, Guderian has no intention of deducting money at all in terms of weapons and equipment.

This is a kind of trust of Guderian, of course, what Guderian gained is also the trust and gratitude of the Russian People's Liberation Army, you must know that Guderian's Russian Liberation Army is used to fight, not used as a propaganda show, and if there is not enough weapons and equipment, how can it fight? Absolutely not.

In fact, this is just a means of Guderian, to put it bluntly, it is "use people without suspicion, and do not use suspicious people." "But there are limits to this trust, all the mid-level commanders of the Russian PLA are Germans, even the ideological instructors, and Russian officers generally hold deputy positions.

After Guderian eliminated Timoshenko's more than 200,000 elites and the vast majority of tanks and artillery, a decisive strategic offensive began on Timoshenko's defense of Petrovsk.

After losing most of his elite, Timoshengo was powerless to recover. The German armored assault group ran over Timoshenko's defensive line, and although Timoshenko had hundreds of thousands of patchwork infantry in his hands, it could not stop the three-dimensional attack of the German army at all.

Although the Soviet army had political commissars at all levels to drive a large number of peasant armies to block the German army's steel torrent, what role could it play except to let them die in vain.

When Guderian's German army rapidly advanced to the city of Petrovsk, Timoshenko and Vatutin's were intending to live and die with Petrovsk.

It's a pity that Stalin didn't let them die, and picked them up in the evening by boat, and while he was leaving, Timoshenko gave the order to blow up everything that could be blown up,

The Battle of Petrovsk ended on June 22, 1941, and in 12 days, the Soviet Union's 340,000 regular troops and 320,000 militia were all annihilated, and more than 450,000 prisoners were taken.

Stalin can be said to be red-eyed, but the furious Stalin did not punish Timoshenko and Vatutin, Stalin did not understand military affairs, he knew that Timoshenko and Vatutin had done their best.

If Timoshenko and Vatutin were to be purged, the Soviet Union would probably no longer have a few military generals who could take charge on their own.

At this time, the Battle of Minks was also coming to an end, and the 600,000 regular Soviet troops were surrounded by the German Army Group North, and it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.

Judging by the strategic deployment of the German army, they intended to besiege Moscow from three directions, and the defense of Moscow became Stalin's top priority.

There are only a few that the Soviet Union can fight now, and the most capable of fighting are Zhukov and Vasilevsky, Vasilevsky went to exterminate the German army in Kovsk, and the defense of Moscow happened to be presided over by Zhukov, two famous people with actual combat experience.

Returning to Moscow, Timoshenko and Vatutin, who had been prepared to be punished by the leader, were only to wait for a letter of appointment, with Timoshenko appointed to Stalingrad and Vatutin as political commissar and deputy commander-in-chief.

At the same time, Zhukov and Chuikov were appointed commander-in-chief and general political commissar of the entire Moscow campaign, and this appointment can be said to have handed over the command of the three million Soviet troops in the whole of Moscow to Zhukov and Chuikov without reservation, and the result was that Timoshenko and Vatutin were determined to be loyal to Stalin to the death.

After Guderian completely occupied Petrovsk, he allowed the Soviet Affairs Bureau led by Goebbels to launch a vigorous land reform campaign in the Petrovsk region.

The Directorate of Soviet Affairs was responsible for organizing the people to restore production, heal the wounds of war, and conduct democratic elections, while Vlasov's Russian Liberation Army was responsible for destroying the remnants of the Soviet army and the Soviet grassroots.

Many of the prisoners in Petrovsk this time were peasants who had just laid down their hoes, and they were captured by Timoshenko to serve as soldiers, and Guderian also gave them free choice, and those who were willing to serve as soldiers stayed, and those who did not want to be paid for the passage home, and then went home to divide the land.

Guderian's agrarian policy was like a sharp blade, cutting the feelings of the vast rural areas of the Soviet Union towards the Stalinist regime, and the peasants had a lifelong wish to own land.

In the Soviet Union under Stalin, all the peasants who did not have the land of their dreams were actually realized under German rule.

It is true that the people under Stalin's brutal rule can no longer have the heart to resist, and as for the rural areas of the Soviet Union, as long as they are occupied by the German army, Germany is also carrying out land reform and elections.

For some policies in the Soviet Union, Rommel also used the same national policy as Poland, which was very relaxed, in order to unite people's hearts.

Rommel also instructed Vlasov and Nikolai to form the United Russia Party, and for those members of the Bolshevik Party, Rommel also adhered to the principle of free withdrawal from the party, of course, the specific work can only be presided over by Vlasov and Nikolai, and Rommel will not interfere.

As for what to do with those stubborn Bolshevik diehards, that's a matter for Vlasov. Vlasov, a traitor to the Bolsheviks, shot all the Bolsheviks who were unwilling to quit the party in order to prevent the Bolsheviks from resurrecting in the occupied territories.

Was it risky for Rommel to do this? Of course, there is a risk, which will only become apparent when United Russia has full control over all of Russia.

Besides, Rommel also allowed other ethnic groups in Russia to form their own political parties, and Vlasov could not be the only one, and Rommel would not let that happen.

As long as Stalin, the greatest threat, is not eliminated, and the United Russia Party does not fully control the whole of Russia, Vlasov and Nikolai cannot do without the support of the German army, and the later Korea and Vietnam are living examples.

Without reunification, North Korea is constantly facing existential threats, and it will never be able to do without our protection. As for Vietnam, we helped to reunify it, but instead ushered in a backlash.
