Chapter 541: The Situation Changes Again

At this time, in Stalingrad, only the guards of less than 1,000 people defending Stalin still had some combat effectiveness, and in addition to the hundreds of thousands of militiamen who came one after another, there were no more battle-hardened fighters in Stalingrad.

In order to be able to defeat the German army in Moscow as soon as possible, Stalin sent a dozen marshals to Moscow to command the battle.

Today, only five marshals, including Zhukov, remain in Stalingrad. If the original historical trajectory was followed, even if Zhukov was given ten dares, they would not dare to rebel.

But this life is different, and the successive defeats have dealt a serious blow to Stalin's prestige in the Russian army. In addition, Stalin, who was already desperate, made a stupid move, and he was about to lead Russia to the road of no return.

Several marshals of the Russian army finally couldn't help but launch a military admonition. The Russians have always been known for their decisiveness and bravery in battle, so Zhukov and his men reached an agreement in less than an hour to discuss how to rebel.

Then, in the following hours, the marshals only had a detailed discussion of the specific steps of the operation. A few hours later, several marshals left Zhukov's mansion one after another.

That night, several marshals mobilized their own guards to break into Stalin's residence, citing various emergency military situations.

In front of Stalin, several marshals disarmed Stalin's guards without blood, and then secretly placed Stalin under house arrest and deprived Stalin of his command.

The whole operation was carried out in great secrecy, and until Stalin was already under house arrest, no one noticed any flaws in the operation.

Early the next morning, several marshals took Stalin's personal power of attorney and began to take over the management of various departments. One of them, in Stalin's name, gave an order to the Russian troops in Moscow to stop the offensive.

At this time, Stalingrad was in turmoil, and several marshals took over all power without attracting too much attention.

After all, just the day before, these marshals were Stalin's most loyal subordinates, and who would have thought that in just one night, the leaders of the whole of Russia had been replaced.

After arranging everything at Stalingrad, Marshal Zhukov personally went to Moscow to convey the order not to storm Moscow by force, but to secretly transfer two million troops to the west to attack Kursk, the retreat route of the Germans, while maintaining a certain amount of pressure.

So just a few days later, Marshal Zhukov led the two million Russian troops to the west to attack Kuersk. At this time, Kursk was the strategic node of the German team connecting Kiev and Moscow, and it was one of the two necessary routes for the German army in Moscow to return to Germany.

Therefore, the strategic location of Kursk is very important, and it is the German Third Panzer Army, which is the most mobile of the German ** team, trained and personally led by Manstein, who is defending here.

There were also nearly 2,000 German tanks and 3,000 armored vehicles, as well as thousands of aircraft and thousands of artillery pieces.

At this time, although Zhukov also led 2,000 tanks, his tanks were all old T34 tanks, which could not cause much damage to the German Tiger tanks.

However, with the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, Zhukov concentrated all the tanks and armored vehicles, and with the help of countless rocket artillery death squads, he raided the relatively scattered German Third Panzer Army.

After paying several times the enemy's casualties, Zhukov's tank armored forces actually defeated the German armored forces in Manstein.

It turned out that although Manstein was also a good hand at armored clusters, due to the vast territory of Kursk City, Manstein was afraid that the tanks would be bombed by the Russian army if they were too concentrated.

As a result, the relatively scattered German Third Panzer Army was overwhelmed by the swarming Russian ** team. When Manstein saw that the defeat of Kursk was irretrievable, he immediately gathered all his forces to break through to Minsk, the northern region.

He knew that the Kursk, which he had such a large number of troops, could not stop Zhukov, and it was even more impossible for Kiev, which had a relatively weak defense, to stop Zhukov.

After the loss of Kursk, in order to ensure that Minsk, another westward route and the only retreat route for the Moscow defenders, would not be lost, he could only reluctantly retreat to Minsk.

And the fact is just as Manstein expected, the crushing defeat of the Kursk Panzer Army directly led to the loss of Kursk, and the loss of Kursk shook the confidence of the German team defending Moscow.

When half a month later, Kiev, an important southern town and one of the main bases in the rear of the Germans, was also attacked by Zhukov, and the German defenders in Moscow somewhat collapsed.

They were very worried that the back road would be cut off by the Russians, so Moscow broke itself, and millions of German troops withdrew from Moscow overnight, preparing to go to Minsk, the only way to retreat.

As soon as the German army in Moscow retreated, the German 7th Panzer Army, led by Guderian, was left alone in the defense of Leningrad.

According to the situation at this time, the Russians could defeat the German ** team as long as they pursued at the end of the year, and even recaptured Minsk in one fell swoop.

And the Russians did exactly that, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, when the Russians saw that they were about to catch up with the Germans near Minsk, no one thought that Guderian, who was confronting the bandits, would suddenly abandon the city and flee.

What I didn't expect was that after Guderian left Leningrad, the bandit army to the left only easily occupied Leningrad, that is, they did not inform the Russian ** team of this enemy situation, nor did they pursue the German ** team.

As a result, the German team of hundreds of thousands led by Guderian had to calmly evacuate, and soon made contact with the retreating German troops in Moscow and Kursk, so a bold counterattack plan was formed in the minds of Guderian and Manstein.

And all this, the Russians were still in the dark, they were happily pursuing the German ** team, so when the Russians chased to the vicinity of Minsk, they found that the German army in front of them suddenly stopped running, and put on a powerful attack formation, they were a little confused.

When hundreds of thousands of German armored units suddenly appeared behind them, the Russians woke up to the fact that they might be surrounded again.

As a result, the happy and sad Russians were flanked by the Germans, and they were even more divided and surrounded, and many Russian ** teams were captured by the Germans before they could organize an effective defense.

However, after more than ten days of hard fighting and the loss of millions of troops, the Russians were finally able to break out of the siege and escape back to Moscow.

And the Russian ** team, which finally returned to Moscow, no longer dared to come out easily, and the Russian army at this time began to actively build fortifications and prepare to defend against the German counterattack.

At this time, Kyiv and Kursk also returned to the hands of the Russians, and the Russians saw that the strategy was becoming more and more advantageous from a geographical point of view.

In fact, after several major battles in the siege of Moscow and Minsk, the Russians lost more than 3 million troops. It can be said that the current Russians are the weakest.
