Four hundred and fifty. There is always a need for scapegoats

This is not a battlefield, this is hell on earth!

The roaring tanks and gunfire made every effort of the Russians come to naught.

In the positions ahead, how many enemies have fallen? Who can give an accurate number?

No!

Blood washed the battlefield, and corpses piled up like hills.

In half a day on the 19th, the Russians launched a terrifying 12 charges!

That is to say, every charge is not blocked at all, and it is almost the previous charge that is repulsed, and the next charge arrives again

The Russians - crazy!

And the Germans, who held their positions, suffered minimal losses. Such a defensive battle was too easy for them.

The Russians had no formation, no artillery cover from the air or on the ground, they just piled up all the men and rushed up in droves to the sound of "Ula" or "Long live the Soviets".

All the Germans had to do was endure a huge psychological impact, and then endure the feeling of vomiting and shoot all the enemy at their guns

Other than that, they don't need to do anything else!

"Are you scared?" Wang Weiyi put down the binoculars and suddenly asked.

Ludwig was stunned: "Scared? The German soldiers never knew what it was to be afraid! ”

"I'm scared, really." Wang Weiyi said calmly: "I'm worried that some of our soldiers will collapse. ”

Ludwig was stunned again: "I'm afraid this is unlikely, marshal?" The nerves of the German soldiers were all made of steel! ”

"Nope. It has nothing to do with bravery" Wang Weiyi said lightly: "And what I said is not the current collapse, now I firmly believe that every German soldier can bravely complete their tasks I am afraid of." It is after the end of the war that many soldiers wait until they are discharged, and as soon as they close their eyes, they think about what happened today, and they fall into great fear"

Ludwig still did not understand what the marshal meant

If the war is over, all those who survived will only rejoice, how can they be afraid?

Wang Weiyi smiled, maybe it is a good idea to set up a large number of psychological counseling centers for post-war soldiers, which can save them from the trauma of war as soon as possible.

Of course. It's not something you should think about right now

On the afternoon of the 19th, the momentum of the Russian offensive weakened significantly. In the morning attack, they lost at least half of their strength.

And Major General Karetov, who commanded these troops. It is also clear that he is no longer able to succeed.

But he has another option:

Lead all your troops and die here for the great Soviets!

He's crazy

When a commander begins to completely disregard the lives of his soldiers, he really goes crazy!

2 p.m. Major General Karletov sent the last telegram to Marshal Timoshenko:

"I will personally get on the tank. Fight for the Great Victory! Long live the Soviets! ”

Brave and stupid, often only between the thin line

2:10 minutes.

Karletov really got on a tank, and then gave an order to all the remaining troops of his army that could not be changed:

Onward - or breakthrough, or death!

The suicidal offensive resumed

The Russians poured into the German positions like a tidal wave

And Wang Weiyi and Ludwig, who were watching all this, as well as the German commanders in the position, could only shake their heads helplessly when they saw all this

A large number of machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the tragic slaughter began

T34 assaulted forward without regard for his life. What awaited them was one bombed after another, and the Soviet soldiers rushed forward without regard for their lives, and one death after another awaited them. It's a grave; Ahead, hell opens its mouth; Ahead, is the end of their lives

Blood is flying!

What kind of horrific scene is the road to the charge, almost completely blocked by corpses?

The 151st Infantry Division and the 114th Tank Brigade are two elite units in the Soviet Army, and most of their members are composed of experienced veterans, but this amount of strength is wasted here!

Once completely hopeless, there is no possibility of a successful breakthrough

3:30。

The Soviet troops in the breakthrough had almost been wiped out, and the German soldiers were exhausted.

The heavy's hands were shaking, and God knew how many bullets they had fired.

The grenadiers swore that they would never be able to throw a grenade again, and their arms were completely red and swollen.

The gunners sat down in front of the cannon, panting for breath and not wanting to stand up at all

There were still some sporadic Soviet soldiers and tanks attacking, but that didn't have any effect on the outcome of the battle.

The breakout battle that took place in Slevingtonya ended in such a terrible way

The Soviet 151st Infantry Division was almost completely annihilated, and the 114th Tank Brigade was mostly destroyed.

While inspecting the position, the Germans found a corpse. The owner of the corpse belonged to Major General Karetov!

Wang Weiyi stood in front of the corpse.

What should I say? Cursing him? Or praise him?

A Soviet telegraph operator had been captured, and just a few minutes earlier, Marshal Timoshenko had sent a telegram asking about the situation here.

Wang Weiyi sighed softly: "Call Marshal Timoshenge back for me." General Karletov and his men showed themselves bravely, but now they are almost dead. I don't know how to describe it. A large number of corpses were right in front of me, and my boots were already soaked with blood. There is no hope of continuing to resist, and I think you know what is the wise choice for Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bream. ”

After saying that, he sighed again: "Prepare to kill more enemies, my officers and gentlemen." ”

"There is no hope of continuing to resist, and I think you know what is the wise choice for Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bream. ”

Timoshenko put down the telegram in his hand with a sad expression: "Comrade Kaletov did what a Bolshevik should do, but we were not able to succeed. ”

"They were all heroic." His chief of staff, Volwalk, said: "After the breakthrough is successful, each of these fallen soldiers should be given a big medal." ”

"Do you think the breakout will succeed, Comrade Chief of Staff?" Temoshenko suddenly asked.

Volwalker hesitated: "Are you ready to make the so-called wise choice according to what the enemy says?" ”

"No, I won't do that, I'm a staunch Bolshevik." Timoshenko shook his head: "But I was thinking, I have to be responsible for so many soldiers, these are our most precious treasures, if they can't complete the breakthrough, then we are Soviet sinners!" ”

When he said the word "sinner," his expression was very heavy

Break through, how to break through?

The surroundings were already densely surrounded by enemies, and there was no chance at all. The Soviet commanders who were in the encirclement were under tremendous pressure from the enemy.

Every minute, every second, they will be doomed.

And as their supreme commander, Marshal Timoshenko was so powerless in the face of all this.

"Comrade Stalin's telegram has just arrived." Volwalker perked up: "His telegram was worded in a strange way, and even politely. He asked if we would be able to destroy the enemy. ”

"You say that Comrade Stalin's telegram was very politely worded?" The muscles on Marshal Timoshengo's face throbbed.

"Yes, that's exactly what the telegram says."

"Destroy the enemy, destroy the enemy." Marshal Timoshenko laughed miserably: "Comrade Volvok, I think that our military career may end with the end of this war. ”

"What do you mean?"

"If Comrade Stalin is furious in the telegram, then we still have a chance to save it." Timoshenko's gaze involuntarily fell on the telegram: "However, he is actually talking to us in such a situation, in a tone of consultation and inquiry. Do you know what this is for? ”

He also did not need an answer from his own chief of staff, but answered the question himself: "Because he was afraid that we, in a moment of despair, would surrender to the Germans." You learned that I am the marshal of the Soviets, and if I surrender, the political impact will be too great, and he would rather die in battle."

Volwalker was a little worried, Comrade Marshal is still like this, so what will be his fate?

"We have only two options now, Comrade Volvoker." Timoshenko said softly: "One is to destroy the enemy in front of us, as Comrade Stalin's telegram said, but that is simply not possible. There is also a kind of death here, and we will get a national medal. ”

"Where's the breakout?" Volwalker asked cautiously.

"Then tragedy awaits us." Timoshenko picked up his pipe, loaded it with tobacco, lit it, took a deep breath, and watched the smoke billowing in the air, and he said in a trance: "I may have a better fate, I will be relieved of my duties as a front-line commander, and then I will be put in charge of a department that does not require a brain." At most, it's just being scrutinized day after day. But you, I'm afraid, are not so lucky. So I should say I'm sorry to you. ”

Volwalker looked at the marshal in a daze, and he knew that what the marshal said was true.

Will they be sent to a labor camp, or will they be shot?

Anyway, Comrade Stalin always needs some scapegoat! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
