At this point, Timoshenko no longer thought that his troops could have any possibility of breaking through.

All sides were German, and all the breaches were tightly corroborated, and there was not the slightest gap to drill.

And what is even more terrifying is that even without the use of infantry to attack, the German planes and artillery were enough to inflict the most heavy damage on the Soviet army.

Faced with such a situation, Marshal Timoshenko really couldn't find any way.

In a situation where the weapons are seriously lagging behind the enemy, the fighting qualities are seriously lagging behind the enemy, and even the desire to fight is beginning to gradually lose, even the Skull Baron commanding the Soviet army here is equally powerless.

The desire to fight, this is the most important thing, but Timoshengo can't see the slightest

The Germans continued to launch onslaught, wave after wave, and the intensity of the offensive was simply suffocating.

The artillery fire was constantly weakening the resistance of the Soviet army, and the casualties increased every minute.

From despair to despair, from Timoshenko to any commander of the Soviet army below, from regiment commanders at all levels, battalion commanders, to ordinary soldiers, each of them was ready for complete defeat.

Moscow is also ready for this

Both the German and Soviet high commands received the news that Moscow was preaching about the great "victory" of Timoshenko and recalling what a contribution Marshal Timoshenko had made to the Soviets in the first half of his life.

Comrade Stalin even at a rally, praised Marshal Timoshenko for almost three hundred years. The greatest military commander that appeared in Russia.

The Supreme Leader of the Soviet Union gave this praise to Timoshenko, in fact, sending the strongest signal to Marshal Timoshenko:

Die in Kharkov, don't come back to your death. It can win you infinite honor, but it is an embarrassing thing for everyone to live for you.

Marshal Timoshenko knew that he had been abandoned by Moscow, and that he was even put to his head with a pistol by Moscow

Who would be willing to accept such a situation? But who has the choice in such a situation?

"Comrade Chief of Staff, if the enemy hits me in front of me, please kill me with one shot." Marshal Timoshenko calmly looked at his chief of staff, Volvok: "Perhaps this is the last order I have given you!" ”

"No, I'm not going to do that!" Volwalker shook his head calmly: "I will not kill the commander I admire with my own hands." And I'll do everything in my power to get you out of here! Comrade Berekov, commander of the Guards Brigade! ”

"Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff!" The commander of the Guards Brigade, Major General Berekov, walked in.

"How's it going out there?"

"Comrade Chief of Staff, the Germans are making a breakthrough from several directions. I have to say, I'm afraid we won't last much longer. ”

"Then, I will give you an honorable mission!" Volvok's expression was so serious: "Before the enemy completes the breakthrough, I must ask you to take the commander out of Kharkov!" ”

Berekov's body stood straight: "Yes. Comrade Chief of Staff. Even if the entire guard brigade is killed in battle, I will definitely take Comrade Commander out of the city. ”

At this time, there was a loud explosion outside

On April 26, 1942, the Germans launched the most rear-end attack on the besieged Soviet forces in Kharkiv.

This attack can only be described as "overwhelming and invincible".

The Soviet army, having lost all its baggage and ammunition and food, also lost the will to resist.

Even if there was some resistance, it was only sloppy and perfunctory

The Germans were tasting the fruits of their victory in large gulps, and now, after hard work, the harvest season has arrived.

On the opposite side of the position. In the eyes of the German soldiers, it was not the enemy, but patches of ripe crops. It's golden rice, waiting for them to harvest.

What a delight.

The planes sang happily in the air, the cannons played the battlefield symphony briskly, and the soldiers happily danced on the battlefield.

The feast – begins! A German that Russians will never forget!

At the same time as the Germans launched the most rear-end general offensive, the Guards Brigade under the command of Major General Berekov also embarked on a task that seemed unlikely:

With Comrade Commander Timoshenko - break through!

In such a dense encirclement, there is almost no hope of breaking out, unless a miracle can happen.

The Soviet troops of the Guards Brigade were still absolutely loyal, each of them carried enough ammunition, they were strapped with grenades, and they were ready:

Die with the enemy!

Even if all the guards brigade is killed, it is necessary to protect the comrade commander and rush out of the city

In fact, no one, including themselves, thought that they could succeed, but who said that miracles can't happen

Gunfire rang out intensively on the battlefield.

There were constantly falling shells of Soviet troops whistling and falling, frantically bombarding everything around

Berekov didn't pay any attention to this at all, and no matter how many people died, they had nothing to do with him.

Break through and protect Comrade Commander from breaking out, this is the only thing he wants to do!

Night, perhaps, is the best way to cover up

Sharp gunfire continued to ring, and the Guards Brigade, relying on a spirit, actually managed to break through several enemy positions.

But Berekov will never forget how they broke through these positions, and the brave soldiers directly pulled the grenade and the enemy died together, and the sound of explosions seemed to cut his heart with a knife

Another German position appeared in front of them, and without the slightest hesitation, the Guards Brigade immediately threw itself into the attack

German machine-gun bullets swept out like a whirlwind, and the charging Russians fell in a whirlwind.

One piece, then another piece

The enemy's fire here was so dense that the guard brigade rushed twice, but it was not possible to break out. And by now, they have lost two-thirds of their forces.

There is no more hope. Berekov saw this clearly. Timoshenko and Volwalker saw this clearly.

"You have done your best, Comrade Berekov"

Timoshenko was about to comfort his subordinates, when suddenly someone hurriedly came over and said: "Comrade commander, a team of comrades from the special task force of the General Directorate of State Security is here. They were dressed in German uniforms, we almost opened fire, they stopped us with a loud voice. ”

"The General Directorate of National Security Special Operations Team?" Timoshenko was stunned, he had never heard of this organization.

There were about two dozen "Russians" who came, and their German uniforms and steel helmets made them really look like a group of German soldiers.

The young officer in the lead, wearing the rank of captain of the German army: "I am Major Laskimir of the Special Operations Unit of the Main Directorate of State Security, and I came to the rescue of Comrade Timoshenko on the orders of Comrade Stalin!" Our action team was set up on an ad hoc basis! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts jumped wildly, Comrade Stalin, Comrade Stalin! The Supreme Leader did not forget about Marshal Timoshenko!

Marshal Timoshenko also sighed in his heart that he had mistaken Comrade Stalin

"Don't worry, my people's weapons have been confiscated by your people, Comrade Major General!" Raskimir glanced at Berekov, who was very vigilant, and spread his hands, indicating that he did not have any weapons in his hands.

"Comrade Laskimir, thank you for your efforts, this is Marshal Timoshenko!"

"Hello, Comrade Commander!"

"Hello, Comrade Laskimir." Timoshenko nodded: "The Germans are so tightly surrounded, how did you get in?" ”

"Comrade Commander, we have found a loophole for the Germans. But that loophole will soon be noticed by the Germans as well, so please break through with me immediately. ”

"Loopholes? Did the Germans have loopholes? Berekov frowned.

"Yes, on such a large battlefield, it is impossible for the Germans not to have any flaws." Laskimir looked around: "Time is very short, Comrade General, if you don't believe me, you can kill me anytime and anywhere, but this is the last opportunity for Comrade Commander!" ”

Timoshenko didn't seem to think much about it at this time: "What about the others?" ”

"I'm afraid they can only be here" Laskimir sighed: "Comrade Stalin said, your value is worth one or even two armies, and if you fail, we can start again." ”

A warm current rose in Timoshenko's heart, and he nodded at Volwalker.

Volvok then said: "Comrade Berekov, please return their weapons to Comrade Laskimir and his men." ”

"Come with us, then."

Regaining his weapons, Laskimir quickly disappeared into the darkness with Timoshenko and the others

"Marshal, I'm back." Guo Yunfeng stood in front of Wang Weiyi and said calmly.

"Ah, our Comrade Laskimir is back." A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Weiyi's mouth: "How is it, Comrade Laskimir, has your comrade commander escorted him out?" ”

"Yes, the escort has gone out. Comrade Commander, Comrade Chief of Staff, what is that called? Ah, Comrade Berekov, I managed to get them out of the encirclement. ”

"Well done, Comrade Laskimir." Wang Weiyi laughed loudly: "This is even more beautiful than the several divisions that annihilated the Russians." ”

As he spoke, he smiled, and then said slowly:

"Timoshenko is gone, now, let's end all the fighting here!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
