Fate has already been decided at this time.

Tasotsky, who was unwilling to give up anyone, finally tasted the consequences: he and his troops were overtaken by the Germans.

That's the Myristel Commando.

Myrist did not expect that the pursuit would be so smooth and that the enemy would retreat so slowly.

Ah, Popotsky's intelligence is absolutely correct, the enemy has such a large number of non-combatants in its troops. If from this point of view, the commander of the enemy is still worthy of admiration.

After all, by this time, he still hadn't given up on any of them......

Commanders who do not give up their subordinates are always worthy of respect.

But it's one thing to respect them, it's another thing to get rid of them.

Without much hesitation, Mylistre immediately directed his players into the attack.

However, after all, there are nearly 800 people on the other side, and they are extremely strict, and more importantly, among these Russians, in addition to staff officers and others, there are also a large number of political workers.

The firmness of these people's beliefs is difficult for outsiders to understand......

When they spotted the Germans, they immediately threw themselves into the fight. Machine guns, submachine guns, grenades...... They fought back with every weapon at their disposal...... Even the thirty women were all thrown into the battle without exception......

Myrist couldn't come up with a good solution for a while......

These Russians have really completely lost their minds...... But. Mylistre wasn't worried that they would run away, and there were friendly forces all around, once this Russian force was captured. There was no escape from them......

It's only a matter of time before they are resolved......

The German assault team carried out a number of small attacks, killing about a dozen Russians, and their attack was not violent, but it held down the Soviet troops on the opposite side.

Now, all they were waiting for was the arrival of Weidmann's tank reinforcements. As soon as the tank forces arrived, the end of the Russians was also coming.

And on the opposite side of them. When the Germans were discovered, Otskomann was met with no chance of breaking through.

If you are desperate, let everyone die here......

He constantly commanded the troops to fight bravely. He also sent small troops to see if there was any possibility of protecting General Tasotsky to break through the encirclement.

But the ending was disappointing.

In such a situation, Tasotsky did not panic too much, anyway, starting with the general offensive of the German army. After the failure of the Soviet breakout. He saved himself with the determination to die.

He thinks he is a sinner, and sinners are not qualified to live in this world......

General Linderov's telegram was placed in front of him, and Tasotsky thought about it for a long time before he sent a telegram to General Linderov, in which Tasotsky told him what he was facing and told him that it was impossible to break through.

And he solemnly mentioned that he would never be a traitor to the Soviets, and that he would die for a great cause.

When this telegram was sent, Tasotsky's mood suddenly became much lighter. Now, the question he had to consider was why he would fail.

Was it that the Germans were too strong? Maybe...... Is there a major error code strategically? Maybe...... Was it that there were too many recruits in the 3rd Army Corps of the Soviet Army? Maybe......

Too many maybe. Countless may constitute the defeat of the Legion......

Their fate has been decided, but what about the fate of the Third Legion? What about the fate of the entire Soviets? So what could it be?

Tasotsky felt that his spirit was in a trance.

It seemed as if he saw the future of the USSR:

An illusory, huge shadow is appearing over the USSR, ah, that's supposed to be a knight, right? He wore a skeletal mask from death, black armor, rode a skeletal horse covered in fire, and held a sharp spear capable of destroying everything.

Wherever the spear went, all resistance was in vain......

Who's that? Who, exactly? Skull masks, fire-fighting horses - ah, Tasotsky remembered, there was only one person with such a costume:

Skeleton Baron!

Out of him, no one ......

His momentum makes even the enemy want to bow to him; His majesty is admired even by his enemies; His magic made even his enemies bend over him......

Only he is worthy of the title of Baron of Skeletons - Ernst. Brahm!

The sound of the cannon pulled Tasotsky's mind back, and he couldn't help but shudder, God, this is the most tense moment of battle, why would he think of an enemy?

He looked over the battlefield and saw several German tanks appear, and Tasotsky had a sad wry smile on his face......

Presumably, the enemy has already fought himself here, and even tank units have been mobilized.

The Soviet soldiers who fought so hard showed great courage, but this was only the most difficult struggle.

Tasotsky saw a major, it was a political cadre, and Tasotsky forgot his name for a while...... He saw the major holding a bag of explosives in his hand, and he was trying to rush forward to blow up the tank despite the enemy's machine gun fire, but he only rushed a few steps before he was beaten into a hornet's nest by the machine gun......

Then another soldier rushed out, looking like he was going to continue the Major's unfinished task, but before his hand even touched the explosives bag, he fell next to the Major's body......

What a brave soldier...... Tasotsky thought sadly in his heart..... Unfortunately, if they were trained, it would take up to three months. They can be the best fighters.

But the Germans would not give them this opportunity again.

The appearance of six Tiger tanks is simply a nightmare for the Russians. And subsequently, two more of the latest Leopard tanks appeared.

It seems that Weidmann has found all the tanks he can possibly find.

Look for. The end of the Russians has really come......

The Tiger and Leopard attacks as if no one is around, and they simply treat the enemy on the opposite side as if they were live targets. The Soviet troops defending here were forced to use small arms to fight to the death with these eight steel monsters.

There is simply no chance of success.

Even eight T34s here, in the face of so many Tigers and Panthers, have no hope of success, and now the Russians can only use their flesh and blood.

They are constantly trying to blow up the enemy's tanks. But they sacrificed thirty people before they finally succeeded in killing a Tiger.

But it didn't have the slightest effect on the battle......

Those German infantry, followed behind the tanks. Quickly broke through the Russian lines, and even then the Russians were fighting valiantly with the Germans who rushed into the position.

But with bayonets in their hands, they were mercilessly fired by German soldiers' submachine guns.

This is not war - it is not! It's just a massacre!

Myrist and his companions had long since given up trying to persuade the Russians to surrender. Judging by their previous performances. I'm afraid that no one here will be willing to surrender on their own initiative - no!

The only thing that can put an end to this is the bullet.

In the face of the incoming German troops, a large number of Russians rushed forward, but a large number of Russians fell under the stormy bullets of the German soldiers.

Half an hour later, the makeshift Soviet defensive line was largely breached, killing more than 300 Russians and capturing 200.

There were less than 300 Russians left, and they continued to hold on to the last line of defense......

The captured Russians glared at the German soldiers. If possible, Myrist and his companions are convinced. They'll break the rope and keep fighting.

Even those women in captivity......

Myrist was eager to try and challenge the impossible task of trying to comfort the Russians from surrendering, but the emissary he sent to the Russians was shot before they could see the Russians.

Forget it, let's give up on this idea......

The remaining seven tanks were already lined up, their muzzles fearfully aimed at the front. Then the shells whistled down, and bursts of fire rose from the enemy's positions.

The explosions continued, and the Russians could be seen looking very embarrassed in the smoke and firelight.

"It's over." Mylistre said with a sigh.

Thus, the German attack on the rear of the area began......

"It's over." Tasotsky let out an equal sigh.

He took a bayonet-mounted rifle from Captain Otscoman and shouted to all the survivors:

"Comrades, let's make the last charge!"

It is undeniable that these Russians behaved very bravely, but when they die, Moscow will not shed a single tear for them. It is even possible that Moscow will comment:

“．．．．．． As a result of the serious mistakes of Tasotsky and other front-line generals, which undermined the overall operation of the great commander-in-chief Comrade Stalin, we suffered such a heavy defeat...... In view of such reasons, it was decided to expel Tasotsky and others from their posts as party members and to carry out a deep reflection within the army...... Marshal Vasilevs also has to assume leadership responsibility......"

That's all, that's all.

Tasotsky and his men died worthlessly. Their courage to fight for the Soviet Union will not be known, and all will only see from the official documents in Moscow how Tasotsky repeatedly disobeyed the orders of his superiors and how he caused the crushing defeat of the Soviet army at Elklin.

The truth is submerged in history...... And this was the fate of Tasotsky and his men......

Fate is irreversible, so accept it.

Tasotsky, like an ordinary soldier, bravely rushed at the enemy tank with a bayonet. Follow him. It was Captain Otskoman, all his comrades......

Shells were whistling, machine gun bullets were whistling. The Russians simply could not break through such a fire blockade and simply rushed in front of the Germans.

There were fewer and fewer soldiers around Tasotsky, and then, Otskomann also collapsed in a pool of blood......

He saw that the division commander continued to rush from his side, and then Otzcoman let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

Relief, it's really a relief. From then on, I no longer have to worry about my comrade division commander, and I no longer have to face this sad everything......

Who says it's not a good thing?

Tasotsky suddenly froze there. He looked down and saw several bullets coming through his body, and he shook a little, but he didn't want to fall. He opened his mouth. But I found that I couldn't make any sound.

Then. Another barrage of bullets came in.

The commander of the front line of the 3rd Army Corps of the Soviet Army, Major General Tasotsky, commander of the 190th Division, died on this battlefield!

After the battle, the Germans found Tasotsky's body and buried him with ceremonies. For a brave enemy, it must be treated with respect.

War HistoryWar, respect is respect.

Baron Alexon once told his men that if you can't respect your enemies, you will never be able to respect yourself.

The battle is over.

The smell of gunsmoke and blood still permeated the air, which would never fade away......

Nearly eight hundred Soviet troops. It means that the number of prisoners reached more than 200 people, which is very small. From this point, we can also see the determination of the Soviet army to the death. However, the current war is no longer possible to achieve victory with the determination to die.

The German soldiers did not mistreat the prisoners, but sent them all to the rear. However, the captives were not honest on the way, and tried to snatch the weapons of the escort soldiers, and as a result, about 80 Russians were killed in the exchange of fire.

It's a little helpless, and there is still a lot of work to be done to make them honest.

And this is about what Biljanlowsky and other cadres of the Soviet military and political work have to do.

After learning that the Mylistre commando and Weidmann's armored unit had successfully killed Tasotsky, the supreme commander of the Soviet army in Elklin, Wang Weiyi immediately sent a congratulatory telegram.

At this time, the Soviet army had been completely defeated in the entire battlefield from Elkelin to Saminos, and its losses were so heavy that the Soviet army finally lost any hope of continuing to resist.

Wang Weiyi immediately ordered that the Battle of Elkelling be completely ended by February 16.

Now, all that remains is to see how many enemies the Germans are able to destroy......

General Linderov, who was fighting in Samilos, was also forced to face a crushing defeat. When he received Tasotsky's last telegram, he learned that Tasotsky could no longer live.

That's fine, at least you can leave with dignity.

Is it really that meaningful to be alive? When they return to Moscow, they will face endless scrutiny, which is the greatest insult to a military man.

And now, at least Tasotsky doesn't have to face such torture anymore.

The troops under his command did not succeed in breaking through, but from two hours on, the German counteroffensive began, and the exhausted Soviet troops could no longer hold back the German offensive.

Soon, Lindelov will face the same fate as Tasotsky.

In his suicide note, Lindelov told his wife and children that he had no regrets about dying for his faith, and hoped that when his children grew up, they would be able to carry on his legacy and continue to fight for the Bolsheviks.

He also expressed his apologies to his wife, thinking that he had never been able to fulfill the responsibility of being a husband, and he had never taken care of the affairs of the family and the cultivation of children, and threw them all to his wife.

When he had written this, he sent a letter to Marshal Vasilevsky:

“．．．．．． It is clear that we have failed, and this failure will have a series of irreparable consequences...... I believe that after the victory in the Battle of Elklin, the Germans will take advantage of the situation and continue to advance towards Stalingrad without giving us any respite, and now the initiative in the war is already in the hands of the Germans...... Stalingrad was the most important gateway to the entire Caucasus campaign, where we had to fight the most brutal battle, and many people would die, but I believe that the final victory would be ours......

．．．．．． There is something I must report to you that in the Battle of Elklin, the Germans showed terrible fighting qualities, and the strength of their weapons, if at this point we could not defeat our enemy...... The only possibility of victory is to fully mobilize the confidence of the Soviet fighters to fight to the death for the Motherland......

For the first time in the battlefield war, I met our worst enemy, Ernst. Bramm, it seems, from the very beginning of the war, was told what we were going to do and had us firmly in his hands...... In the war to come, this will be our most formidable opponent, far more than all the German ......."

When he finished the last word, he put down his pen and let out a long breath.

After all the explanations have been explained, it is time to face death bravely. The Germans will soon rush here, what will they do in the face of the enemy's guns?

To live, or to die?

The goddess of fate seemed to be laughing at General Linderov, who seemed to be there telling this Soviet general:

Now that fate has been decided, all he can do is accept! (To be continued......)
