"Marshal, in Ukraine, after a hard battle, we have routed the main forces of the Russian 1st Army, and we are continuing to advance forward, and if everything goes well, we will complete the convergence with the main forces of Ukraine tomorrow."

"It's good, it's progressing quite satisfactorily." Wang Weiyi nodded: "If Kolkorok, who rushed to the front line in person, can continue to resist the Russian attack, then it will be of vital help to us to defeat the main force of the Russian army!" ”

Karemb, who commanded all German troops on the territory of Ukraine. Rommel had some proud smiles on his face.

Although there were some problems in the process of marching, and he also encountered fierce resistance from the Russian army, so that he suffered losses, but on the whole he completed the task excellently.

The Russian 1st Army was the main force trusted by Grand Duke Gregory of Belstoka and the most well-equipped unit in the Russian army, but it was also unable to hold back the imposing German army.

We are already one step away from victory......

Wang Weiyi walked out of the temporary headquarters and saw that all the German soldiers were busy. A large number of tanks and assault guns that had just arrived on the battlefield roared, and several planes flew overhead.

The Germans threw a large part of their forces into Ukraine.

First, because the victory of the second Berlin offensive and defensive battle allowed the German army to draw part of its forces, and second, Ukraine was too important for the victory of the whole of Germany.

The seizure of Ukraine means a big step forward for Germany!

In fact, since the beginning of the Second World War, Germany has laid a fairly good foundation in Ukraine. All major offensives began in Ukraine. And the local Ukrainians also have a favorable opinion of Germany, and pro-German forces are quite active in Ukraine.

Local support is also a key condition for victory......

April 17, 1966. With Ernst. With the arrival of Field Marshal Bream, the Germans, with the Baron's Guard as the main force, launched a general assault on the Russian 21st Panzer Army.

This is the last Russian military to stop the Germans......

After the outbreak of the battle, the strength of German air support quickly appeared in the sky. Compared with Germany, although the Russian Air Force has a large number of fighters, the models are backward and the combat quality of the pilots is inferior. And the Luftwaffe is not at all on the same level.

Such a scene can be seen in the sky every time, a large number of Russian planes appear in a menacing manner, but in the face of the Luftwaffe, which is far less numerous than them. Russian flight formations tend to suffer a swift defeat.

The Russian pilots actually did their best...... However, they have not been able to receive military support for many years, and even the models they use are old aircraft from the early days of the Second World War.

In today's war, quantity is completely incapable of winning in the face of quality......

By the day after the engagement, the Luftwaffe had already gained air supremacy. Those Russian Air Forces, which are constantly shot down. I don't dare to continue to appear in the sky anymore.

It's a frustrating scene.

And with the support of the Luftwaffe. The Germans quickly moved in the direction of Belsota.

Defending here was the Russian 21st Panzer Corps under the command of General Nestaslav, a Russian general loyal to Grand Duke Berstoka.

He was given the order to resist the German attack at Belsota for at least 20 days, a rather difficult task, at least for now.

Some people say that General Nestaslav is a reckless fellow who often does things without going through his brain, but at such moments, Grigory needed such a commander.

He doesn't need his subordinates to think for themselves. The only thing he needs is for his subordinates to complete their tasks unconditionally and faithfully.

Nestasrov pulled out his entire force at Bersota in one fell swoop. put on a posture of a decisive battle.

The vanguard that reached Bersota made contact with Nestasrov in an attempt to induce the Russian general to surrender, but was quickly refused.

He didn't even want to meet the German emissaries......

"Respectable, huh?" Wang Weiyi, who arrived at Belsota, said with a relaxed expression after learning of the situation: "Such a person is always worthy of the respect of the opponents......"

However, respect is one thing, but Wang Weiyi is not ready to stop the march for even a minute......

On April 19, 1966, the Battle of Belsota began.

This will be the most crucial battle for the complete integration of Germany and the Ukrainian army......

And here in command, it is Ernst. Marshal Bream - Baron Alexon!

Planes appeared over Belsota and bombed the city indiscriminately. Countless bombs and incendiary bombs fell on the city or the positions of the Russian army, and in an instant everything was drowned in smoke and fire.

The bombing lasted a whole day. On April 20, the main German forces all arrived.

Nestasrov was well aware of the passive situation he was facing, and on the 19th he called for air support numerous times. But the Russian pilots, who were really frightened by the Luftwaffe, always made a few hastily circles over Belsota and did things perfunctorily. They were reluctant to go head-to-head with Ben and the Luftwaffe......

And when the German Barons' Guard arrived, the offensive and defensive battle of Belsota officially began!

A large number of German tanks and assault guns of various types launched artillery shelling of the Russian troops in Belsota. Although the strength of the German army suffered great losses under the attack of the Allies, the strength of the elite Barons' Guard was unmatched by the Russians.

The Russian 21st Panzer Corps was armed with only a handful of new vehicles, and the vast majority of them were still using old-fashioned weapons, just like their air force.

As for their officers, they were probably far more proficient in balls than in war......

The war had just begun, and phone calls for help were constantly coming to General Nestasrov's headquarters. All the calls, without exception, were to tell General Nestasrov how ferocious the German offensive was. The heavy casualties of the soldiers also made General Nestasrov very nervous.

What can you do? How can you solve the problem? The fighting qualities of the Russians are clearly there, but you alone will not be able to solve them immediately.

The only order that General Nestaslav was able to give was one:

The dead top is there. Don't let the Germans go any further!

It's very easy to give orders, but it's obviously very difficult to do......

Under the attack of artillery shells, the tanks began to take heavy steps and, accompanied by infantry, launched a terrible assault forward.

The Russians were not able to collapse immediately, but were able to organize some resistance, presumably due to the character of General Nestaslav.

General Nestaslav never listened to anyone's complaints, and he had only one way to go to war. Either complete your own orders or be shot.

I have to admit that this method is crude and simple. But sometimes it can make a big difference.

In the case of comprehensive backwardness in equipment and combat quality, these Russian troops actually carried out frantic resistance without fear of death.

Old tanks appeared on the battlefield, including Soviet-era T-34 tanks.

At that moment, the German commanders almost doubted whether what they were seeing was real......

After the overthrow of the Bolshevik regime. Russia has embraced a great deal of the legacy of the former Soviet Union. The Russian regime, like an upstart, guarded its property like a miser, probably thinking that if they had it, they had everything.

They are no longer willing to spend more money on upgrading weapons and equipment, and while major countries are equipped with new aircraft and new tanks, the Russian army is still using a large number of equipment left over from World War II.

For example, the T-34 tank.

Such a tank is simply a toy in the face of the sophisticated "Leopard IX" or "Destroyer 3" type. Even in the Second World War, the T-34 is far from being a Panther or Tiger opponent, not to mention how many years have passed?

So on the battlefield you can see one-sided tank battles.

Numerous T-34s have not yet reached their range. It had already been destroyed by German tanks. And those "Moder assault guns" that helped in the war also exerted terrible power. Shells continued to destroy the Russians' tanks one after another.

The Russian officers of the 21st Panzer Corps never felt so powerless......

Their weapons can be used against civilians, as well as against the Ukrainian rebels, but they are definitely no match for the equipment of the German army.

The tank battle lasted less than an hour, and the Russian army lost a large number of combat vehicles, and the casualties reached a terrible level.

"I seem to have returned to the Second World War," Wang Weiyi put down his binoculars...... "At that time, in tank battles, we were always able to achieve absolute superiority, and after so many years, the Russians have not made any progress, but are still spinning in the same place." ”

"Not only that, but at the same time as the Russian officers captured by our team were interrogated, it was learned that they were seriously in arrears of pay and that the Russians were not very enthusiastic about fighting. With the exception of a small number of troops, many Russian units were quickly routed, often with simple resistance. ”

Wang Weiyi smiled: "I already know about this situation. The United States provided a lot of financial aid to Russia, but unfortunately this money was not used for Russia's domestic construction or the upgrading of the army, and without exception it filled the private pockets of those big bureaucrats, such as the Grand Duke of Belstoka. ”

"It's a pity." Karemb suddenly sighed: "Russia has such a large territory and so many people, if it can develop with all its might, not only Germany, but even the United States will become the strongest opponent, but it is a pity that they have obtained such a government." ”

Wang Weiyi nodded silently...... Yes, Russia is quite capable of becoming a superpower...... But the more this happens, the more you can't let it develop smoothly.

Otherwise, it will remain a major problem for Germany......

During the all-day offensive on the 20th, the Russian 21st Panzer Army suffered huge losses. The vast majority of their positions fell into the hands of the Germans, and now, they can be protected. There's just one Belsota.

Although General Nestasrov knew that his troops were definitely no match for the Germans, the rapidity of the defeat was unimaginable.

The loyal, almost blind General Nestasrov, without thinking about anything else, shot two officers who had abandoned their positions that night, and told everyone that Belsota must hold on, and no one was allowed to take a step back. The Grand Duke of Belstoka gave an order to hold on to the place for 20 days, and there was no room for bargaining for this order.

The stubborn General Nestasrov is almost maddening. Anyone with some brains can see that. Belsota simply did not have the conditions to hold on. If so, the 21st Panzer Corps would be wiped out here.

But the shooting on the battlefield terrified the Russian commanders, who feared that General Nestaslav's bullet would mercilessly pierce their bodies.

Resistance is death. Not resisting is also death. Then there is only one way out:

Make contact with the Germans and surrender to the Germans!

There is no one who is not really afraid of death, no one. If they can save their lives, they are willing to try.

The first to take this step was the commander of the 330 Infantry Regiment, Colonel Khayerav.

He has beautiful wives. There are lovely children. He didn't want his life to be buried here. Driven by this mentality, Colonel Heillav secretly contacted the Germans that night.

This is already in Wang Weiyi's prediction.

Wang Weiyi personally answered Colonel Heyeraf's phone call, in which he agreed to all the conditions put forward by Colonel Heyraf and promoted him to major general on the spot.

Colonel Heyerav - No, Major General Heyerav did not hesitate at all, at 1 a.m. on the 21st, the 330th Infantry Regiment of the 21st Russian Panzer Corps defected on the battlefield. And under the orders of the German command, he cooperated with the German troops overnight to launch a night attack on the 47th Panzer Regiment, which was once a friendly unit.

A situation that occurs suddenly. The 47th Panzer Regiment was thrown into disarray, and Colonel Torymasev, who commanded the troops, immediately made a decision that was crucial for his future:

Surrender!

If Colonel Heyraf can surrender, why can't he surrender? Who wants to keep their lives here?

In just a few hours, two Russian units surrendered at the same time!

When the news reached the ears of General Nestaslav, the lieutenant general of the Russian army was almost collapsing! What he couldn't have imagined was that under his harsh battlefield discipline, why would such a thing happen? What he couldn't figure out even more was, didn't those officers who surrendered respect the honor of the soldiers at all?

His troops had already suffered heavy casualties during the day yesterday, and two more relatively intact units had surrendered during the night. General Nestasrov has already felt the approaching defeat......

While he did his best to organize his defenses, he quickly reported to the Grand Duke of Belstoka that there was a serious situation in Belsota.

But in the face of the embarrassment of his subordinates, Grand Duke Belstoka issued only one order:

"I need Belsota, I need you to fend off the Germans!"

Then, the phone was mercilessly hung up......

General Nestaslav sighed deeply, he knew the meaning of the Grand Duke's words.

I don't have any choice anymore......

The sun had already spread on Belsota on the 21st, and the German troops had fully entered Belsota.

A large number of Russians have also chosen to surrender, they do not want their lives to be buried here, they have to think about their own future.

As a result, there is no longer any suspense in the war......

While the guns were ringing out in the city, Nestaslav wrote the last letter of his life, which was addressed to his family:

"The war has been lost, and I can no longer hold back the enemy's offensive...... I love this country, I love being a soldier, but the biggest frustration of a soldier is that he can't save the fate of this country. I know what I should do, and I know how to keep the honor of a soldier decently, so I will be my last words...... We are completely backward, and with such an army, whether in terms of weapons or the quality of the soldiers or officers, we will not be able to hold back the enemy's attack, even if I can command an army of a million at the moment. Perhaps, the nightmare of more than twenty years ago will soon be repeated, and the Germans will once again seize our Moscow...... My child should never be a soldier again, never will...... Here we get nothing but shame......"

These were the heartfelt words of General Nestasrov and a final warning to Russia.

At 10 a.m. on April 21, 1966, the commander of the 21st Russian Panzer Army, General Nestasrov, committed suicide.

In less than two hours after his suicide, most of the remaining Russian troops chose to lay down their arms, unwilling to continue fighting, unwilling to shed such senseless blood again. Every human life is precious, and every human life is worthy of respect.

See you again, weapons! See you again, war!

Being alive is more important than anything else.

Wang Weiyi, who entered Belsota, ordered the body of Nestasrov to be properly buried, and like any enemy who fought to the last moment, such a commander was worthy of respect.

Now it is possible to launch the most ferocious attack on the main forces of the Russian army! (To be continued......)
