Chapter 976

Govorov, commander in chief of the Soviet Leningrad regiment, was scolding his subordinates angrily. In fact, he was dissatisfied with Stalin's instructions to rush south. However, the long-standing sense of oppression made him dare not tell his leaders what to do. ┞╪═┝═╞.《。

"Seven days ago, we had received the order to withdraw. As a result, we did not deploy our troops to cover us in advance on all the necessary roads, including Tver. Isn't that to let us go into the pockets of the German army?" The general, who led the Leningrad defense, slapped the table in anger and was disappointed with the incompetent Soviet High Command.

He deployed perfect fortifications in Leningrad, and because of the supply of materials from the port, he was confident to use these defensive positions to delay the German attack and hold on for more than six months. As a result, with Stalin's order, the Soviet army in the direction of Leningrad had to give up its solid defensive position and slowly went south at the risk of being surrounded.

In order to get rid of the pursuit of Liszt group, he arranged some troops to stay behind every once in a while, and used the method of sacrificing a few to open the distance, so as to ensure the safety of more than 50 million troops. However, the closer he got to Moscow, the more uneasy govorov felt. As an isolated army going south, he didn't see his own troops on the way.

Govorov's troops are not the elite Soviet armored regiments under Zhukov's command. He has only infantry, a large number of infantry. These troops move very slowly in the field, and they can't hide completely. Once they are entangled by the German army, they can't get rid of the battle without injury.

But this force is now the hope of Moscow, the only hope of defending the Moscow line. Govorov felt that as long as there were some people with brains, he would send troops to cover the actions of his regiment.

As a result, he was wrong. He overestimated the strength of the Soviet Red Army in the direction of Moscow and underestimated the mindlessness of his comrades in arms. ┠═┝┡╪。 As his vanguard approached tevel, there was a shadow of German armor in tevel's direction.

"Not now? Which German unit is it? Is it the investigation force or the main force? Say it When govorov finished scolding the idiots who made him so miserable, he looked at the face of a general who came to report and asked in a loud voice.

"The German armored vehicles are painted with the capital letter A. according to the German serial number, it should be the a group army in the hands of lundstedt from the central cluster. Soldiers in the outskirts of tville are resting German armored vehicles and tanks, should be the main force The general stuttered in his bow tie. It's the worst case to run into German armored forces in the field. No infantry can fight against large-scale mechanized armored forces in the field without the cover of solid positions. So now everyone in the headquarters is pale. They know that a catastrophe is coming.

Take tville first? Govorov shook his head. Even if he occupied Tver in a hurry, it was just a foothold. The German encirclement seems to have been formed. In this case, there is no essential difference between a defenceless tville and a barren ridge.

What's more, a total of 50000 troops were crowded around teville, and they could not squeeze any more. Most of the troops would still be eaten by the German troops in the wild, and it would be meaningless for Moscow to keep more than 100000 or tens of thousands of troops. Now his only chance is to retreat to the northeast, where the German siege should not have been formed.

As long as they retreated a certain distance, the German troops with unstable flanking lines would give up their pursuit, and their troops would be able to win the last gasp. However, if we make a detour to the south, we don't know how many people are left. If we don't have time to help Moscow, then no one knows.

On the other hand, with this retreat, Moscow's flanks will be completely exposed. When the time comes to fill the loopholes in these defense lines, it will naturally take troops. How many people can be left to fill the long northern defense line with 50 million people is a question after all?. c﹝om﹝

Now govorov is in a dilemma. Whether he can get Stalin's approval for his withdrawal is an unknown number. Whether he can get rid of the German entanglement after approval is an unknown number. Whether he can stabilize the defense line after getting rid of entanglement is also an unknown number. How many people can support Moscow after stabilizing the defense line is another unknown number.

He couldn't go to Stalin with a pile of uncertain things and said, "brother, I can't handle the problems on my side. You allow me to retreat first. I don't know if I can do it. I can only do it together..."

It is estimated that Stalin would not allow him to swallow a gun and commit suicide, but he would have to change his generals and let others continue to command the last blood and bone of the Soviet Union. At that time, we don't need to know what will happen to him and whether he will be sent to the Siberian labor camp.

So govorov thought about it and decided to deal with the crisis with the safest way. Didn't the German army appear on the road of retreat? Send someone to get through, isn't it? If we can't get through, we will try our best. These troops retreated here because of Stalin's order. No matter what the end, Stalin should be responsible for it.

Thinking of this, govorov called his assistant: "send a telegram to Moscow, to the great leader comrade Stalin, saying that there are German armored forces on the way of our army going south... Ask him to show us how to deal with them." Since our leaders like to tell us what to do, it's obviously a good idea to invite them to take the blame at the critical moment.

What a mess of subjective initiative, let that kind of bullshit thinking go to hell. So a telegram was sent to Moscow and placed on Stalin's luxurious desk. The Soviet Union once had such a vast territory, and in such a huge country, so many things can be put on this table, it can really be said that very few. Stalin's face is a bit ugly. After all, any leader who claims to be a great man will look very ugly when the enemy forces are approaching the city. From Li Shimin's rush to attack Jieli Khan after he turned over, it is not difficult to see how hated this kind of thing is. History tells us time and time again that when we have the ability to show off our power, we'd better kill our opponents directly and avoid future trouble. Now, Stalin, who felt like the greatest leader of the whole Soviet Union, had the most difficult time since he came to power. The great city named after him was captured by the German army, and the city named after Lenin, the founding leader of the country, was lost to the German army bloodlessly... Now that the German army is coming to Moscow, Stalin feels that his face is red and swollen. Thinking of this, Stalin touched his cheek. After all, compared with his predecessors, he is still lucky now: Charles de Gaulle is now in exile in the United States and has no territory, Churchill died in the basement of London without leaving his whole body... He is still alive after all. What else can he be if he is not lucky? However, it is obvious that what he has experienced now has nothing to do with luck, so he once again summoned the defense commander in the direction of Moscow, vatukin, to vent his anger at this confidant: "general vatukin! How could the direction of tevel be easily lost to the German army? Ah? Why is it like this? Hundreds of thousands of our reinforcements are trapped on the road and are at risk of being surrounded by the enemy. Who is going to take the responsibility? " At the moment before, vatukin was still thinking about how to solve the problem of the German army that had captured kolubakino. His defense line was broken by the attacking klugf army from the center. The German vanguard even threatened Kubinka. When Stalin asked him about the direction of Tver, vatujing was obviously stunned. It was the place in charge of the defense command of Tver state. How could it involve him? Moreover, wasn't Stalin himself the one who signed the order to transfer 10000 troops from tevel's garrison some time ago? So vatujing quickly shirked his responsibility, bowed his head to Stalin and said: "Comrade Stalin, the great leader, it is necessary and correct to deploy Tver's forces to strengthen the front line of Moscow, but we have too few forces in our hands, which gives the German army such a chance to bypass its flanks." On hearing this, Stalin shifted his resentment to Zhukov, who was still fighting hard in Kursk, so he waved his hand and motioned for him to find a seat. Then he picked up the telegram, slapped it on the newspaper and asked, "what should we do now? Let govorov continue to go south and break through the German encirclement to Moscow, or let them retreat to the Northeast? " Watujing sneered. This govorov really dares to speak freely. I don't want to come to Moscow to accompany you to death. Why do you have to find such a poor excuse? In the wild, a way out of the wheels of German mechanized infantry and tanks on two legs. Are you kidding? It is estimated that if these hundreds of thousands of troops could not escape to cushalino, they would have to be surrounded and annihilated by the German army. It is also dangerous to break through the siege. After all, vatukin also learned about the news of the German armored forces' detour to the north not long ago. When he got the news, he knew that govorov was finished. Moscow might not be able to wait for the help from Leningrad. However, govorov was a single man. He even left this option to Moscow, leaving Stalin to carry the doomed black pot. He did not dare to give Stalin any advice at this time, but just waited for Stalin to speak in silence with his head down. The room was very quiet for a while. It was so quiet that people felt dizzy - today's catch-up, and there will be a chapter later. I guess it's a little late. You can go to bed first and watch it tomorrow
