The defeat of the Soviet troops in Kharkov was inevitable.

The last breakthrough operation organized by Marshal Timoshenko also suffered the worst defeat.

From the beginning of the defeat of the 9th Army, the Soviets suffered terrible losses, and now such losses continue.

The German encirclement became smaller and smaller, and by the 24th, the Soviets were encircled in an area 10 miles long and 2 miles wide.

A large number of Russians were gathered here, and the German aerial bombardment and artillery bombardment could easily hit a large number of targets.

Patches of Russians are dying every minute

And what was Moscow doing at this time? Moscow at this time was preaching the great "Battle of Kharkov"!

The wise Marshal Timoshenko, who was commanding the heroic and warlike Soviet army, dealt a heavy blow to the German army, countless Germans died under our attack, victory was firmly in our hands, victory belonged to Marshal Timoshenko, victory belonged to the Soviets, victory belonged to Stalin!

Moscow is boiling, and all the Russians are celebrating their upcoming "victory"

And at this time, what was the Soviet army, which was "annihilating" the German army, doing?

They were short of ammunition, they were deprived of supplies, and they didn't even have anything to eat.

The night wind blew the battlefield, bringing with it the painful wails of the wounded Soviet soldiers.

The figure of Marshal Timoshenko appeared on the battlefield, and he looked at his once high-spirited soldier and let out a deep sigh

At this point in the war, it can be said that the Soviet army has been defeated. There is no room for salvation anymore.

"Comrade Marshal!" A major general saw the appearance of Marshal Timoshenko and the chief of staff, Volvok, and hurriedly stood up.

"Ah, you're Sergeevich. I remember you, during the defense of Moscow, you behaved very bravely. Marshal Timoshenko's gaze fell on one of Sergeevich's empty sleeves: "What's wrong with you, Comrade Sergeevich?" ”

"Report to Comrade Commander, my arm was lost during the enemy bombing." Sergeevich, despite the fact that his face was very pale from excessive blood loss, replied loudly.

"Can you still fight?"

"Of course, Comrade Commander!"

"Brave general!" Timoshenko nodded. Then he swung his fist vigorously: "Comrades, please rest assured, me." Timoshenko, in the name of an old Bolshevik, I will definitely lead you to break through! Even if I die, I will die with you! ”

"We are willing to defend your safety with our lives!" Sergeevich said loudly with all his subordinates.

A gust of wind blew. Brings a strong smell of blood

A smile spread across Timoshenko's face. He had to inspire his soldiers with a smile.

But he knew that there was no possibility of breaking through.

The commander in chief of the enemy would never make such a mistake

"Marshal, the Soviet army has been surrounded by us in this small area." General Kleist pointed to the map and said: "By the 28th at the latest, we can end the battle of Kharkov." And we also interrogated some prisoners, and the enemy's commander-in-chief, Timoshenko, was in this encirclement, and we confirmed. There is a high probability that he will be in the enemy's 5th Guards Army"

Wang Weiyi listened to the report of his subordinates, and suddenly asked, "General Kleist." What benefits do you say it would all do us to capture or kill Marshal Timoshenko? ”

General Kleist was stunned: "Of course there are many benefits, this is a marshal of the Russians!" This can greatly boost morale and dampen the confidence of the enemy, which will cause a sensation! ”

"What else?" Wang Weiyi asked slowly: "Can we still let him play a bigger role?" ”

Kleist had no idea what Marshal Lu Dao meant by asking.

Wang Weiyi groaned: "It is indeed very good to catch and kill a marshal of the enemy, if he can be used by us, I think it will be even better."

"Marshal, I don't think Timoshenko will surrender." General Kleist immediately said: "He was a very stubborn fellow, and he was said to be very strong in his faith in the Bolsheviks. ”

"No, you misunderstood what I meant." Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "Even if he really surrenders, he still can't exert his full influence, his influence is not in Germany, my General Kleist may let him stay in Moscow, it is indeed a good choice, the premise is that we have to let him live, and we can't let his comrades Stalin throw him into a labor camp, this is a veteran Russian marshal, his every move will affect many Russians, but how can Stalin want to liquidate him again without harming his life?" ”

Kleist was confused, what exactly did the marshal mean? What does it mean to liquidate him without harming his life?

"Faith, that's a strange thing." Wang Weiyi smiled even brighter: "It can make countless people die for it, but when they find that their faith has been reversed by some people, their faith will be shaken, no, they will turn their faith on the right track."

Kleist swallowed hard: "Marshal, I really don't understand what you're talking about"

"General Kleist, as a soldier, you don't need to understand so many political things!" Wang Weiyi was still smiling: "What you have to do is to defeat the enemy's troops!" And what I have to do is to think about how to shake the rule of the enemy. On the battlefield alone, we will not be able to achieve complete victory, we will have to let something happen within the enemy itself. Of course, to achieve my goal, it must be accompanied by victory after victory on the battlefield, but who shall I send to save Marshal Timoshenko? ”

"What, you want to save Timoshenge?" General Kleist was taken aback.

"Don't make such a fuss. Even if Timoshenko lived, Stalin would never let him command the army again, because he had already lost Stalin's last trust. Wang Weiyi pondered there for a while: "I have to find some jewelry and intelligence, and I also need reliable people." Guo Yunfeng? It seems that he went well. Go, call Guo Yunfeng in immediately! ”

Well, General Kleist must admit that his intellect is completely incapable of keeping up with Marshal Ernst

But he must be convinced that whatever Field Marshal Ernst did was to win the last victory for Germany.

Although some of the things that Field Marshal Ernst did were too difficult for outsiders to understand

General Kleist made the most accurate judgment that the Battle of Kharkov could be concluded before the 28th.

At this time, the Soviet army was already vulnerable!

Patches of Soviet troops died, patches of Soviet troops surrendered or were captured.

Those Soviet prisoners, from here you can't see the end at all.

Being captured and surrendering is a relief for these Russians, at least they don't have to face this terrible thing anymore.

As for what will happen in the POW camps in the future, that's not something they have to think about now

General Ludwig was complacent.

This time, the Skeleton Division also achieved great results, they annihilated and captured a large number of Russians, which was enough to put a few more medals on their chests.

Opposite them was now the Russian 5th Guards, and although they were still stubbornly resisting, Ludwig was confident that the battle would be over in two days.

"General Ludwig, General Guo is here."

"Aha, General Guo, did the marshal send him to congratulate me on my victory?" Ludwig happily greeted him and personally welcomed Guo Yunfeng into his headquarters: "My Chinese friend, did the marshal ask you to bring me rum?" ”

"The marshal has decided to punish you and Van der Winny for a few days of confinement after the war is over." Guo Yunfeng said with a smile: "The marshal doesn't have so much rum to fulfill the promise you made for him. ”

Ludwig laughed out loud.

After a few jokes, Guo Yunfeng suppressed his smile: "General Ludwig, is it the Russians' 5th Guards opposite you?" ”

"Yes, you're here to watch me annihilate them!"

"Yes, annihilate them, but before that, I need you to make a gap in the northwest."

"What, make a gap?" Ludwig did not react.

"Yes, this is the marshal's order, you come and see." Guo Yunfeng pointed to the map: "Right here, at 11 o'clock tonight, I need you to temporarily evacuate your soldiers here for about half an hour, and then reclose your encirclement." ”

"For what? This will get the Russians out of the city. Ludwig could not understand this order at all: "I have exerted a lot of effort to surround these Russians, my dear Chinese friends!" ”

"Yes, I'll get out of the way." Guo Yunfeng nodded: "But it's not much, we just need the Russians to be able to run out of the two people." As for those leftover, whatever you do with them, it's fine. That's not in the marshal's plans."

Ludwig thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to understand something: "Did the marshal do anything?" Hey, tell me about it, maybe I can help. ”

"That's not your business, General Ludwig." Guo Yunfeng's face was serious and authentic.

Ludwig shrugged: "Okay, well, at 11 o'clock tonight, the brave General Ludwig, had to let some Russians escape from my encirclement. ”

Guo Yunfeng smiled: "That's for a bigger victory!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
