Chuikov and Shumilov died on their own battlefields one after another.

Their successive deaths meant that the Battle of Stalingrad had come to an end.

The Russians continued to resist, but this resistance was insignificant to the Germans. Gone are the whole large-scale, organized battles.

Now the whole of Stalingrad can be said to have been completely controlled by the Germans.

Vasilevsky gave up, Moscow gave up. Stalingrad, a city of great importance to the Russians, was about to complete its historic mission.

The planes in the sky are gone, both German and Soviet...... The Russians must now devote all their strength to Moscow, because everyone knows that after the German capture of Stalingrad, it is only a matter of time before the whole of the Caucasus is completely controlled by the Germans, and it will not even wait for the end of the Caucasus to force the Germans across the Volga and launch a new offensive against Moscow.

It won't take long for the Second Battle of Moscow to unfold.

As for the Luftwaffe, there is no need to waste bombs on Stalingrad anymore, they prefer to keep more bombs on the other side of the Volga......

On May 10, 1942, after the most desperate resistance, at ERNST. The day after the last day of the time set by Marshal Bream, the Battle of Stalingrad ended!

The Battle of Stalingrad consisted of several parts, and in a series of battles, the brilliant victory of the Ernst battle group was astounding.

The Soviets, on the other hand, lost a large and terrible number of troops in this series of operations......

Only in Stalingrad. Surrounded by regular and irregular troops, they lost 470,000 killed and 390,000 captured. 30,000 people are missing.

The Germans and their allies lost 80,000 killed, captured and missing......

Judging from this battle, the strength of the German and Soviet armies is no longer on the same level, and the quality of the armies of the two sides is terribly widening a huge gap......

Moreover, in the numerous battles that made up the entire Battle of Stalingrad, the Soviets lost most of their equipment, and as for the veterans with combat experience, they lost almost everything.

And, of course, their senior commanders. Killed, captured, or surrendered, this is the most valuable asset that the Russians have lost.

Now the whole of Russia is already in the shadow of defeat......

And on the very day of the end of the Battle of Stalingrad. Several unexpected and even shocking things happened one after another.

The first is on the battlefield.

The Manstein cluster crushed the Budyonny Army, and the Guderian cluster routed the Rostov Army, which laid the overall situation in the Caucasus.

The victory of Manstein and Guderian. It's not at all unexpected. It is impossible to describe the shock, this is just another victory on the road to continuous victory for the German army.

What is really shocking is that on May 10, the Soviet Union and Japan signed the "Soviet-Japanese Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance."

The Russo-Japanese Alliance was formed!

The establishment of the Russo-Japanese alliance was expected by Wang Weiyi, but it was beyond everyone's imagination.

In fact, if you think about it, this is also logical......

Japan has long lost the support of all countries, and the situation of the USSR is somewhat peculiar.

In Ernst. After the return of Marshal Braem. The German baron, on the other hand, quickly changed Germany's position in the international arena and actively established a secret alliance with the United States. At the same time, the attack on Britain was stopped, and the German-British ceasefire was achieved in various ways to improve relations between the two sides.

Thanks to his efforts, Germany and Britain declared a cease-fire, and the completely abandoned Soviet Union withdrew from the Central Powers.

Similarly, Japan desperately needs to find another ally internationally......

In such a situation, Japan and Russia can strike at once, and a new military alliance will emerge......

That is to say, when this new military alliance was formed, the situation of the two opposing blocs, the Axis and the Allies, had collapsed after the outbreak of the Second World War.

A new pattern of the world has emerged.

In spite of the heavy pressure on itself, Japan, in order to show its support for its new allies, actively raised some armies in order to give some form of help to the Russians.

However, Wang Weiyi, who had been prepared for this, immediately sent his own generals to make a strong resistance to the Japanese army that tried to enter Russia.

On May 11, the day of the establishment of the Russo-Japanese Alliance, the Free French Movement and the French National Liberation Committee, led by Charles de Gaulle, who had fled London and established their headquarters in Moscow, announced their membership in the Russo-Japanese Alliance.

Of course, the addition of De Gaulle, who now has almost no soldiers in his hands, is more of a formality.

However, the British were outraged, they believed that they had helped De Gaulle in his most difficult time, but de Gaulle betrayed himself.

The British reacted unusually violently at the first time, announcing that they would no longer recognize the de Gaulle regime, but instead officially recognized the Vichy government as the only legitimate government of France......

The world is in turmoil, but the world is moving towards a new situation......

Wang Weiyi is happy to see such a thing happen, and it can even be said that it is all in his expectation......

It's time to end the war as soon as possible......

After the Battle of Stalingrad, the Germans began to actively prepare for the forced crossing of the Volga, Manstein and Guderian clusters, and after the initial completion of the sweep of Soviet troops, they also began to move in the direction of Moscow.

Soon, Moscow will be enveloped in terrible flames of war. The countdown to the end of the war has begun......

Stalingrad, night of May 10, 1943.

The artillery fire continued to roar, but not at Stalingrad, but at the few remaining Russian troops on the other side of the Volga.

A large number of captives were escorted out of the city in droves. In their faces, there is numbness and despair, and you can see something else.

For example, liberation.

Yes. When the war is over, it will be a great relief for them.

At the very least, they don't have to worry about the shells that may come at any time, and at least they can get a good night's sleep......

Wang Weiyi watched as groups of captives passed in front of him, most of them with their heads bowed, and occasionally some of them raised their heads and looked at him. But it will also quickly lower its head again.

They were completely unaware of the situation, and the man who stood on the edge of the line and watched them was none other than Ernst, who commanded the German army to win this victory. Marshal Bream.

The soldiers and civilians of the captured Russian regular army were mixed together. And among those civilians, there are old people, women, and even children.

"Children shouldn't belong to the ...... of war," Wang Weiyi whispered.

"Women don't belong to war." The orthodox German Moder also said.

"They can't help it." General Paul Hausser shrugged his shoulders and said: "By the time our team began the offensive at Stalingrad, the Russians had already lost a large number of their troops. They had to put a large amount of irregular armed forces on the battlefield. Tried to undo their defeat, but they ultimately failed......"

Wang Weiyi looked thoughtfully at the team composed of those prisoners: "Sometimes I have been thinking, if all the Soviet troops were to be commanded by Russian generals such as Zhukov and Vasilevsky, without considering any unnecessary interference from the outside world, what kind of situation would have occurred after the war?" Can we still achieve such a victory? ”

He didn't have to answer from his own generals, but quickly gave himself an answer: "I think it will...... We're going to win, but not like we are today...... We will pay more sacrifices, maybe now the assault on Stalingrad has not begun......"

Modell and Paul Hauser nodded thoughtfully.

They thanked Marshal Ernst for the glory he brought them. When the war ended, their names would be forever etched in German history.

It's them. Accompany Marshal Ernst and follow Marshal Ernst to the most difficult victory!

"Hey, bring that kid here." Wang Weiyi suddenly pointed to a child in the captive team and said.

The child was brought in, only about twelve or thirteen years old, and although his face was covered with filth, he could still see that he was still childish.

"What's your name?" Wang Weiyi asked in Russian.

There was obvious hatred in the child's eyes, but he still said: "Somzhov." ”

"Why do you want to go to war?"

"I hate you, you are all German fascists, I am from the Soviet Youth League, for the sake of the Soviets, even children will take up arms and bravely fight you to the end!" Somzhov said loudly.

It can be seen that he said these words sincerely......

Wang Weiyi exchanged glances with his generals, and each other was a little helpless, Wang Weiyi sighed: "What about your father and mother?" ”

It was only at this time that a trace of sadness and pain appeared in Somzhov's eyes: "They are dead, they are all dead...... My father died in Kharkov, he was a company commander...... My mother, she ...... She died in a labor camp, she was a traitor......"

"Traitor?" Wang Weiyi was stunned for a moment, but then understood: "Find some food for this child, looking at his appearance, he has been hungry for many days......"

Some food was delivered to Somzhov, and although the child wanted to be strong and resolute not to eat what his enemies wanted, the long-term hunger made it impossible for him to resist the temptation of food.

Anyway, you always have to be shot by these German fascists, so let's just eat and die again.

The child comforted himself, then took the food and put it in his mouth to devour.

Wang Weiyi and the German generals all laughed, and Moder asked someone to bring it and handed it to Somzhov: "Hey, kid, eat slowly, it's all yours." ”

"Find someone to ask about this child." Taking advantage of this, Wang Weiyi said in a low voice.

Figuring out what happened to Somzhov was not a particularly difficult thing to do. About his life experience was soon sent to Wang Weiyi's hands. Because the situation with the children of the entire Soviet Youth League was basically the same as with Somzhov.

In particular, their regimental commander, Kokovsky, knew everything about these children. In the war. Kokovsky lost an arm, but survived and became a prisoner.

Kokovsky was also brought to Wang Weiyi, and he did not hide anything, but told the German marshal about Somzhov's situation in 1510......

Wang Weiyi sighed, yes, he saved and guessed that there must be many tragic stories in this child that even he didn't know the truth......

Watch as Somzhov puts some of the last food in his mouth. Wang Weiyi then said: "Your father was a captain company commander, and during the battle of Kharkov, he was responsible for defending a position. He behaved very bravely, and when all the soldiers of the company were killed, he still held the position alone for two full hours, and died on his own position after the last death......"

This was the first time Somzhov had heard such a detailed story about his father. His tears fell involuntarily. But his face was full of pride for his father.

Wang Weiyi was silent there: "Can you tell me what you know about your mother?" ”

Somzhov was so attracted that he even forgot his hatred of the Germans, and when he heard the Germans ask him, he couldn't help but say: "After my father's death, she was cowardly and cowardly, and she betrayed the information to the Germans without permission." Became a shameful spy! She should have been shot, but was forgiven for her father's credit. They were only sent to a labor camp to reform ......"

"You're wrong." Wang Weiyi said in a low voice: "They deceived you......"

"No!" Somzhov's voice grew louder again: "They won't deceive me, I trust them!" ”

"They? Are they those from the Political Division? Wang Weiyi sneered: "Kokovsky, tell this kid the truth, let him know what happened to him." ”

Kokovsky was silent: "Originally, you should have been sent to a labor camp with your mother, but your father and I are the best friends, and I did everything I could to protect you and put you by my side......"

Somzhov was stunned, Comrade Commander never told him that he and his father were good friends.

Kokovsky's voice was very low: "When I was in Kharkov, I was in a company with your father, he was the company commander, and I was the deputy company commander. The Germans began to attack, and it was during an artillery bombardment that my arm was lost. Your father had me carried me down, and I survived. While I was in the hospital, your mother approached me and asked about the situation on the battlefield, and I told her that your father didn't deserve to die, if reinforcements could have arrived sooner...... Your mother remembered this sentence, she had to ask for an explanation for her husband, so he kept going to his superiors to react, asking what the reinforcements were for Lu and never arrived? But no one could give her an answer. But your mother was a stubborn person, and she was unwilling to give up without an answer, so she went to her superiors again and again, and wrote letters to higher leaders again and again, and finally, this completely angered some people in power......"

"For what?" Somzhov didn't understand at all: "My mother just wants to find the truth, why would it anger them? ”

"Son, in the battle for Kharkov, many people should have taken the responsibility for the defeat, but they did not bear it, on the contrary, some people who had nothing to do with it, but because of it, they suffered a bad luck in their lives." Kokovsky smiled bitterly: "Because once the responsibility is really pursued, countless big people will be implicated." ”

Somzhov still doesn't understand.

Kokovsky said sadly: "At the very end, your mother really the big guys...... The tragedy ensued when a large number of people from the political department showed up at your home and found evidence of your mother's alleged spying for the Germans...... According to the secret trial, you and your mother will be exiled to a labor camp, and when I learned about it, I came out of the hospital and found my old superior, begging him to keep you no matter what. Last, you were taken to the Soviet Cadet Corps, and I, who could no longer remain in the regular army after being crippled, asked to be transferred to the Cadet Corps, where at least I could take care of you......"

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Somzhov, and he said word by word: "Your mother was never a traitor, never was ever!" She was loyal to her husband, to her family, and to her country! ”

Somzhov's tears flowed again. He used to feel ashamed of his mother, but now, he realized that his mother was actually the greatest.

"Child, the war is not yours." Wang Weiyi said at this time: "Go home, go home." I promise you, when the war is over, I will find your mother by all means, if she is still alive, of course. ”

"Home?" Somzhov smiled miserably: "Where can I go back?" I don't know what to say, I used to think of the Youth League as my home, but now, I don't even have this home. ”

Wang Weiyi was silent, yes, where can he go back?

He didn't add it a long time ago, he didn't have it a long time ago.

"Marshal." Despite being a prisoner, Kokovsky had the audacity to say: "Please keep him with me, I beg you to show mercy, at least here I can take care of him." ”

Wang Weiyi thought for a moment, and then nodded silently. (To be continued......)
