Two hundred and thirty third chapter retreat

After Malinovsky was shot for half the salary, Zhukov said to his subordinates around him, "Comrades, our great Soviet Union has reached the most dangerous moment, and the German devils are step by step. And because of Comrade Malinovsky's mistakes, our great Soviet army was in trouble. If Comrade Stalin knew the current situation, none of us could survive. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes! Marshal Zhukov, we understand." Everyone couldn't help feeling sad when they died, but they couldn't show it now. Once they talked too much, they would be themselves who died in a while.

Zhukovli looked at everyone and reminded him again, "You must all forget what happened today. Comrade Malinovsky is not dead. He is still commanding the troops on the front line. Due to his miscommand, our hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped in the siege of the German army. We are unable to rescue them and can only retreat. The surrounded heroes voluntarily stay to block the German army and give us time to retreat. Do you understand?"

"Yes! Marshal Zhukov, we understand completely." Everyone answered expressionlessly.

"Well, very well, now start to retreat, all troops evacuate from Orel area and retreat to Muqinsk's defense line, where they block the German advance."

"Yes! Comrade Zhukov."

On August 7, 1943, Zhukov led the remaining 500,000 troops to retreat east of Orel. Before leaving, Zhukov asked the 400,000 troops in the encirclement to block the German army with all their might and squeeze out time for the retreating troops. At this point, the 50th Army of the Soviet Army, the 11th Army of the Guards, the 60th Army, the 61st Army and a large number of independent divisions, nearly 400,000 troops were surrounded in the narrow areas from Kursk to Orel and continued to resist.

On August 8, 1943, the main force of the German army recaptured Oryol City and locked more than 400,000 Soviet troops in the encirclement. Originally, the Germans wanted to take the opportunity to break out of Oryol area and assault the Soviet Muqinsk area to the east, and approach Moscow strategically. However, Hitler sent several telegrams in a row, demanding that all counterattack troops stop advancing and eliminate the Soviet troops in the encirclement first. The German pursuit troops stopped their pace and transferred back to the current aggressive pursuit troops, and turned to the encirclement war. The final stage of the Kursk battle was announced to begin.

In the evening, at the German Front Command, Manstein stared at the combat map in front of him with a calm face. The expression on his face did not feel a little proud because of the current victory, but instead seemed very clarified. Model beside him also shook his head helplessly and sighed sadly, "Oh,,,".

"What's wrong with you two, sigh. We are the winners now." Kinda was surprised by the expressions of Manstein and Model. He was still dejected when he was about to win the battle.

"Hey,,," Manstein sighed a few times, and said helplessly, "This guy Zhukov is not a loss for being the victory marshal of the Soviet army. He is really a traitor. He used hundreds of thousands of troops to block our progress. If he ordered a full retreat, my counterattack force would have the chance to destroy more troops.

And we can also take advantage of the chaos of the Soviets' failure to retreat and continue to attack forward, and at least 50 kilometers towards Moscow. But what we never expected was that Zhukov did not hesitate to stop and block the likely surrounded, which made my plan fail. Our energetic troops could only stop and deal with the hundreds of thousands of surrounding Soviet troops."

"Yes! It's really a loss. Zhukov actually threw down hundreds of thousands of troops without paying attention." Model said with a wry smile. "We had already mobilized the 48th Panzer Army from elsewhere and the 2nd Army came to participate in the battle. As long as the Soviet army retreated, these troops could start assaulting from the flanks. Taking advantage of the chaos when the Soviet army retreated, they pushed the entire front towards the Moscow defense line. Now it is impossible to achieve. These hundreds of thousands of troops blocked our way. The entire plan was forced to strand, and all the energetic troops had to stop."

After hearing the explanation of the two, Jintian rolled his eyes and felt that these famous generals were all old foxes. "Don't sigh, at least we have surrounded the 400,000 Soviet troops. If we work harder, we will definitely eat these troops and end the Battle of Kursk as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Manstein stared at the combat map, pointed to the area surrounded by the Soviet army, and said, "Now, nearly 4 Soviet army armies and some independent divisions were surrounded by us. These surrounded troops suffered great losses in the previous offensive battles, and I think it would be easy to eat them. But the only thing I worry about now is that this group of Soviet army will definitely not surrender easily. If we want to destroy hundreds of thousands of troops, there will definitely be a lot of casualties. What we need to do now is to minimize casualties."

"That's right," Moder locked his eyes on Jinda. "General Ge Siyun, do you have any traitors? Last time you surrounded the Soviet army's Dunhe Front, you were a prostitute and food. This time, you have to come up with a good idea to destroy these hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops without bloodshed."

"Well, it makes sense," Manstein also focused his eyes on Jintian and smiled brightly. "Dear General Ge Siyun, you have to give advice this time! I think, can you transfer your A-Photo Master? I will find some more chefs and bring the literary attack team over. I will seduce you again, add delicious food to force the Soviet army to surrender."

Jinda shook his head in disagreement and said, "This prostitute offensive and food offensive! I have used it once, and the Soviets must be prepared. This time it should not be easy to use, so I have to think of another idea. But now I can't think of any way. I think it's better to let the troops use heavy artillery troops to bomb for a few days and bombers for a few days. Haven't we seized a large number of Soviet heavy artillery and a lot of shells? It's just for bombing for a few days, and I'll figure out how to slowly come up with a solution."

"Well, that's good." Manstein kindly held Jintian's hand, and an old fox-like smile piled up on his fat face. "Dear General Ge Siyun, you must be sure to defeat your opponent, look at your appearance. I think this encirclement and annihilation battle will be left to you to command! I believe in your ability, you will definitely be able to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest price."

Seeing Manstein's expression, Kimda was impeached in his heart, "Oh no, I've been trapped again. This Manstein made himself get into a chore. Damn! The old fox is the old fox, it seems that I'm still too young."

On August 11, 1943, the Germans began to launch firepower attacks on the Soviet army in the encirclement. The Germans' heavy artillery launched a covered artillery bombardment at hundreds of thousands of Soviet army in the encirclement, and hundreds of thousands of shells ruthlessly hit the Soviet positions.

In the air, German bombers dispatched 1,300 aircraft a day, and together with Stuka and fighter attacks, they carried out carpet bombardment on the enemies in the encirclement in an unintentional way. However, the German attack only hit thunder and without rain. Every day, the bombardment did not stop, but they did not send ground troops to attack, and launched a siege without fighting.

In fact, the Germans also had their own difficulties. At this stage of the war. Germany, which had a relatively sparse population, had begun to lack troops in terms of military sources. In order to preserve the lives of soldiers, the Germans' siege war was to attack mainly to reduce casualties, and to prevent the Soviet army from launching a counterattack to die. The Germans dug trenches around the encirclement, and a large number of armored forces also joined the surrounding area for defense. The Germans, as the attacking side, were building fortifications, which was beyond the expectations of all the enemies.

Jintian raised his telescope and looked at the Soviet position ahead. The Soviet position in the telescope was a ruined scene. No defense was seen, no complete defense system was found. There were only potholes and charred land. During the violent bombings in the past few days, the Germans blew up all useful targets, and even the hidden tanks and armored vehicles of the Soviets became scrap iron.

Kimda put down his telescope and pondered the battle situation in front of him. Kimda knew very well that now was the best time to attack. The Soviets had run out of ammunition and food, and there was no supply, and there was no reinforcements. But Kimda was always undecided to launch an attack. After all, there were 400,000 troops in the encirclement. There were more ants to kill elephants, more cats to kill lions, and more wives to kill their fierce husbands. If they launched an attack, they would definitely suffer major losses. What should they do?

"Oh,,," Jintian knocked on the painful head and felt that this was really a troublesome. At this time, several Soviet soldiers entered Jintian's eyes. Several Soviet soldiers had just run over from the Soviet position opposite and surrendered to their troops with a sad face. However, what made Jintian feel the most strange thing was that these Soviet prisoners were not walking properly. It seemed that the girl had just broken behind her and was not walking smoothly.

Jintian felt something strange and ordered curiously, "Bring those Soviet prisoners here to me."

"Yes! General Gesiyun" Several soldiers from the Pest Guard, holding AK-47s, walked up and brought these Soviet prisoners to Kinda, and a German translator followed behind.

The Soviet prisoners walked to Jintian tremblingly. When they saw that they were a German general, they looked very frightened and their whole bodies were trembling very hard. The German translator on the side paid tribute to Jintian and said, "General Ge Siyun, what's your problem?"

Jintian stared at the Soviet prisoners in front of him and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I am a good person, a great person. I just want to ask you a small question, why do you surrender?"

After passing the explanation of the German translator, the Soviet prisoners knew what the general was asking. A Soviet prisoner who had served as an official in the urban management department and was more courageous came forward and explained, "I, we didn't want to surrender at first, but the troops have been too chaotic these days. Since being surrounded by your army, everyone has been shrouded in the shadow of death. And a few of us, 55555".

As he said that, the Soviet prisoner couldn't help crying, "Now there is a collective sexual misconduct in the army, but there are not many women! Many perverted officers have come up with the soldiers. We were the regiment commander, Comrade Duanxiuvsky, gave it to you, gave it to you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Kim Tian felt a move in his mind and hurriedly asked, "Is this an individual phenomenon? Or is it the entire army like this? Are there many people who know about this now?"

The Soviet prisoners wiped away their tears and replied with sadness, "No such incident happened, but it has spread throughout the army. Now the soldiers are worried about being XXOO, and many of them commit suicide due to mental breakdown. We felt really disgusting, but we didn't want to commit suicide, so we ran over and surrendered to your army."

"Ba," After hearing the words of the Soviet prisoners, Jinda slapped his head and blurted out "I have an idea"-
