Chapter 469 469 Each has its own thoughts
81_81266 "Bastard, that guy dared to surrender without permission?500,000 troops! surrendered without a day of resistance?" Khrushchev slammed the table and cursed loudly. As soon as he gave the order to defend to the end, almost half of the troops surrendered their weapons and surrendered, this is a humiliation for Hongguoguo, this is a provocation to him!
"The troops in those encirclements do not have much ammunition, they themselves are not our main force, they are all some reserve units gathered from Ukraine and Belarus, and it is not surprising that they surrendered. Marshal Voroshilov explained with a sigh.
He knew that those troops were not so bad, but because over the years, Moscow had been biased in its treatment of the ethnic issues of Ukraine and Belarus, which had led to increasingly hostile hatred in these regions. Now that the forces in these regions have begun to collapse on a large scale, it is a good indication of the Soviet rule in these areas.
Now the German army is counterattacking, there has been large-scale chaos in some areas, and once the millions of troops on the front line begin to rout, will there be problems with Ukraine and Belarus behind them, and a little thought will make Voroshilov's head like a fight. He was now a little envious of Zhukov in the Far East, after all, it was much easier to deal with the Japanese than with the Germans.
"This is a betrayal of Comrade Lenin! This is a blasphemy against Comrade Stalin!" Khrushchev did not feel any better at Voroshilov's comfort, but became even more tyrannical: "The families of these people will be shot! The relatives of these people will be escorted to Siberia! They are innocent of death! Those who surrender! Every man's wife and children will be banished to the coldest place! This must be done! The fate of betraying the Soviet Union must be remembered by all!"
Marshal Voroshilov was tempted to tell Sù Khrushchev that his order had moved almost all of Ukraine to Siberia. However, Voroshilov, who witnessed the purge with his own eyes, did not have the courage to speak against Khrushchev, he just sighed and stopped expressing his opinion.
After scolding for a while, Khrushchev, perhaps tired of scolding, sat down in his chair and gasped for breath, he remembered the German Führer he had met, of his once young self, and of the once young Colonel Accardo Rudolph. If I could have killed him at that time, wouldn't there be so many problems now?
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. Khrushchev finally spoke with difficulty, then leaned back in his chair and said with some chagrin: "Now the battle on the front line continues, so we still need to come up with a way to solve the trouble of the front-line troops being quickly cut into by the German army." ”
Voroshilov only opened his mouth to answer at this time, after all, this is his domain, and Khrushchev is not so much a commander as a politician: "Comrade Khrushchev, in this situation, even God cannot prevent the rout." ”
He pointed to an area of the map and said with some frustration: "The German armored forces have appeared in this area, our troops here and here and here have been surrounded, and here and here are also very dangerous and are retreating. ”
"Comrade Stalin will not allow retreat......" Khrushchev said toughly.
"These units are short of ammunition and supplies. Most of them had no anti-tank weapons and could not deal with German tanks and armored vehicles, and the 25th and 26th armies did not even have support weapons, and their bullets, machine guns and artillery were piled up at the railway station here. How do you let these troops resist?", Voroshilov replied.
The Soviet army is like an egg, the attacking troops on the front line are the slightly hard shell of this egg, and the second-line troops that follow behind are the soft egg whites and yolks. And once the seemingly hard egg shell is knocked open by the German stone, the egg white yolk is even more vulnerable in front of the stone.
As for whether or not the egg whites and yolks in the back can be used to stop the German attack, as long as a normal person who is a little more sane knows that this is an impossible task. The Soviet Union is now doomed to a rout, it just depends on how far it will go. As for the support and supplies negotiated between the Soviet Union and the United States, most of those things have not yet been shipped.
"Comrade Stalin will not allow retreat!" Khrushchev once again emphasized.
Only then did Voroshilov remember that the Comrade Khrushchev in front of him was just a minion, and the real problem was the great god in the Kremlin. Even if he had a good reason now, if Stalin felt that it was inappropriate, he Voroshilov would end up no different from Marshal Tukhachevsky.
So he trembled and said to Khrushchev: "Now we can't hold our positions at all, and if we don't allow our troops to retreat, it will cause a mutiny! Those Ukrainians and Belarusians are unreliable, and once there is a problem, we will only collapse faster." ”
"Kill the wives and children of those who surrendered! Then let everyone know that betraying Comrade Stalin will be a dead end! If anyone surrenders! His parents will be hanged!" Khrushchev said fiercely: "Go and give orders! Let these troops not take a step back! Otherwise, they will be shot!"
In fact, these things have been done, but the troops are still collapsing, the defense line is still being breached, and the most important thing is that those troops who should surrender are still surrendering, and they have not played a half-point role.
After all, the current war is different from the First World War, at that time, everyone only had rifles in their hands, and after the fight, courage and strong suppression could play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army and maintaining combat effectiveness, but now, these methods are completely useless.
Even a soldier with a firm belief has no way to face the opponent's torrent of steel with flesh and blood, and even a soldier who is not afraid of death has no way to defeat the opponent's machine guns and tanks with courage.
Countless bare-handed Soviet soldiers crouched on both sides of the road, allowing German tanks and armored vehicles to rumble past their eyes, while they could only hold their heads in their hands and be escorted to the rear by a few German soldiers with guns.
It was not that these Soviet servicemen did not want to escape, nor that they did not want to resist, but whoever saw their comrades fleeing and resisting was rushed to suppress the 7 on the Crusader helicopters. As a result, thousands of Soviet soldiers were captured by the Germans, and in some areas they even had to stop and collect the prisoners because they had taken too many prisoners. The large number of prisoners affected the logistics of the German army, and the Soviet soldiers crowded on both sides of the road even mixed with the advancing German soldiers.
The Soviet Red Army lost a full 2 million troops in two days, and more than 1.5 million were either surrendered after being surrounded by German troops or captured unprepared. About 100,000 people were killed or wounded in offensive operations, and the remaining 400,000 were scattered because they could not resist the German offensive.
In fact, the losses of the Soviet Red Army in the battle were not large, but because of the chaotic logistics and the wrong tactical arrangement, the Soviet Red Army suffered an astonishing defeat with millions of troops lost in two days. The defeated troops fought against each other and trampled into the mountains and forests, not daring to return to the unit for fear of being sanctioned by the law enforcement team, and not daring to surrender to the German army for fear of endangering their families, so tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers disappeared on paper in such a daze.
At the same time, the international situation of the Soviet Union has become less optimistic, although the United States has promised to secretly support the Soviet Union, but this covert support has not been reflected in the intuitive grassroots changes for a while, on the other hand, Germany, on the other hand, seems to have more than doubled overnight.
In the past day, the Soviet Union seemed to be a country hated by the whole world, and 36 hours after the Soviet-German war, Italy, Germany's most solid ally, declared war on the Soviet Union, and Mussolini delivered a speech entitled "The Red Devil Peeps into the European Continent", declaring that the Iron Axis had the obligation to ensure that the capitalist world was protected from the Soviet demon Stalin.
Immediately after the vassal state Vichy France declared war on the Soviet Union, Marshal Petain announced that he would provide aid to the allies who resisted the Soviet invasion with steel and other materials, and did not rule out the possibility of direct military intervention.
Nearly 500,000 Romanian troops and 50,000 German troops in Romania were ready to fight back against the Soviet invaders at any time.
Interestingly, the self-absorbed British Churchill government then declared war on Romania, and Romania officially entered World War II. However, the Scottish regime in the northern mountains of England announced the formal establishment of diplomatic relations with Romania, and the British embassy in Romania announced that it recognized Scotland for its own security.
"I will organize a counterattack here and here, and the troops in this vicinity, including those near this village called Turbos, are the 1st Guards Infantry Army, and they are still fighting at the moment. Marshal Voroshilov pointed to the map and hurriedly said: "If we can stop the German advance near the Persian village, then at least we have hope of preventing the German army from entering Belarus and Ukraine before the German army completely occupies Poland." ”
"You'd better be able to stop the German army from entering Belarus and Ukraine! Otherwise, something will really go haywire!" Khrushchev stared at the map, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead
