Chapter 1111 Moscow of Blood and Snow (End)
(This chapter suggests listening to the former Soviet war song "The Holy War" and enjoy it while listening. Because this is how Xiaochao coded it.)
They are not humans, they should be cast from some kind of steel. I can't see the possibility of their defeat. All I touched is their and our bodies. Incomplete, complete, or crushed and cut into pieces by shrapnel and tank tracks. But they still do not retreat...
——Diary of a German commander in the Battle of Stalingrad
The shot came so suddenly and the timing was so accurate. At this moment, almost all the Allied soldiers focused on attacking the German army.
This area has been baptized by countless shells and bullets, and no one would think that there is still a sniper hidden here. However, there is a sniper hidden here!
Otto Scholzne, German Nazi SS Colonel. This colonel in charge of the SS Special Commando, stayed in the snow for more than a day.
What I was waiting for was such an opportunity. Countless shells exploded beside him, and countless stray bullets passed by him. But he was never moved.
He was silent and quietly waiting for this opportunity. But the whole night of not moving in the cold snowy night was finally given him the best opportunity.
When the Allies were excited about the arrival of their support troops, he fired the bullet at Trotsky, who relaxed his vigilance.
"Trotsky is dead! Trotsky has been beaten to death by me!!" Skorzne was not sure that Trotsky had been beaten to death by him. After firing the gun, he quickly turned over and left the shooting position.
Then, the rain-like bullets and shells hit the spot where he was just staying. Scholzne tried his best to keep shouting in German and Russian that Trotsky was shot dead by himself.
Trotsky was indeed dead, and the bullet that Skorzne seized the opportunity and shot it accurately shot directly from Trotsky's right brain.
The rapidly rotating bullet stirred Trotsky's brain into a shattered ball of brain matter. The back of the head was pierced by the bullet. The guards around Trotsky were caught off guard.
The angle chosen by Scholzne was also excellent, just cutting into the dead corner of the Trotsky Guard. He knocked Trotsky down with just one shot.
"Trotsky was beaten to death! Trotsky was beaten to death!!" A series of shouts sounded on the position, and the Soviet army was immediately in a panic.
Many people subconsciously turned their heads to look at the position where Trotsky was, but saw that there was a shadowy person there and there could not see the real situation at all.
The German troops took advantage of the fact that the Soviet army was stunned and launched their own counterattack.
The retreat of the Soviet army caused a large gap in the Allied forces. Although the remaining Allied troops did not know what had happened, the retreat of the Soviet army greatly affected them.
A large number of Allied troops slowly retreated with the Soviet army, which led to the German army being able to press forward against the Allied forces step by step.
"Boom boom boom... 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 时 �
Along the way, Trotsky's guards roared in anger and kept firing and trying to kill him. But none of them succeeded. Skolz learned a lot of position retreat tactics from the National Defense Forces.
Therefore, even in the rain of bullets, he could still use a large number of ruins and fortifications and bunkers to retreat backwards. Of course, this was inseparable from the German cover for him.
The German army on the position had the advantage. They pressed forward step by step against the Allies. The shells continued to explode in the crowd. As the two sides were clearly distinguished, the German heavy artillery troops began to exert their power.
Countless artillery shells fell into the crowd, and the explosions continued to stir up blood waves. Countless broken corpses were blown up, and blood and corpses were constantly flying among the snowflakes in the sky...
It's over! This is what Eisenhower and Montgomery think now. Due to Trotsky's death, the Soviet army was already in a panic that could not be stopped.
Countless Soviet troops were retreating in despair, which led to the entire Allied front being dispersed.
Under such circumstances, Eisenhower and Montgomery could not see any hope of victory. The Soviet army had the most strength on the position, and if they were in panic and retreating, the situation of the entire Allied forces would not be much better.
Under the enslave of these retreating Soviet troops, the entire Allied forces would also retreat together. In this way, Moscow's positions would be lost.
Even the Allies themselves are at risk of being annihilated by the Germans.
Trotsky's death will cause the morale of the entire Allied Army to be extremely low. The German army will be highly motivated. Simply put, in Eisenhower's view, this battle is equivalent to being defeated from the moment Trotsky was killed...
"Get up! A huge country!! Fight to the death!! To eliminate the evil forces of fascism!!!" A series of thick Russian songs suddenly exploded in the crowd, but the retreating Soviet troops suddenly stopped their retreating pace.
"Let the noblest anger roll and roll like waves, carry out the people's war! The sacred war!! The people of the whole country rise up and fight back against the executioner! Fight back against the tyrannical plunderers and man-eating beasts!!"
As the song was heard, the Soviet troops who were supporting him had not retreated. They roared and rushed towards the German army angrily.
The retreating Soviet troops suddenly stopped, and they seemed to feel something that many people lowered their heads.
"I am Stalin! Joseph Visarionovic Stalin! I am in Moscow, I will fight with you!" Suddenly, a voice came from the radio.
"If our comrades died, we will take the lead. If Comrade Trotsky died, then I will continue to fight! If I die in battle, then Comrade Kalinin will lead the Soviets to continue to fight!"
"Defend your dear motherland! Great alliance! Let the noblest anger roll and tumbling like waves, and carry out the people's war! The holy war!!" Stalin's voice came out of the radio.
There were not many words, but all the Soviet army heard the man's voice. This small voice represents the roar of a country and a nation.
"Sacred War! Ula~~" I don't know who roared first, and then the Soviet army in Moscow began to roar in anger!
And on the radio, the passionate song - "The Holy War" was constantly played! A Soviet army roared the battle song and rushed towards the German army.
One, two, three...numerous Soviet soldiers turned back and turned back to their positions. Although the other soldiers of the Allied Army did not know what was going on, they were also inspired by the passionate singing.
Amid the rumbling guns, countless Allied forces launched a desperate counterattack against the Germans.
"Corrupt fascist monster! Be careful of your head!! Prepare the coffin for unfilial descendants of mankind!!" Angry singing sounded on the battlefield, and countless people roared and rushed towards the German army.
The German army was caught off guard for a moment, and the Soviet soldiers roared "Ula~" and rushed towards the German crowd. Even when facing tanks and German firepower circle, they still did not take a step back.
This became the last straw that crushed the German army. The German army, who had been fighting for a night after the frantically counterattack of the Allies, finally retreated.
Lundstey and other senior German generals had no choice but to issue orders to alternately cover the retreat. The German army completed its strategic goals, but failed to achieve its strategic goals.
Kill Trotsky, and now Skolzne has completed his mission. He successfully killed Trotsky, but the Allied defeat expected by the German army was not achieved.
The tens of thousands of Soviet troops supported, Stalin's roar and those Soviet troops who revolted and continued to fight made the German army unable to see the possibility of victory.
Therefore, the top leaders of the German army chose to give up fighting. The battle reached such a level, and continuing to fight had lost its meaning. Instead of consuming troops here for nothing, it would be better to constrain the troops and wait for the next opportunity.
As the German army retreated, the Allies did not pursue the pursuit. Eisenhower and others in front of the formation could not see the German army panic, and the Allies now urgently needed to repair it.
If we continue to pursue, once we are surrounded by the German army, the Allies will suffer heavy losses...
The two sides had a tacit understanding and stopped fighting each other after the German army withdrew from the positions controlled by the former Allied forces. Both sides stopped fighting and silently retreated back to the position and licked their wounds. Then they looked for the next opportunity to chew and swallowed the other party hard...
Trotsky's body was carried back to the command center. He was wearing the worn Soviet military coat. His eyes were wide open, but his eyes were gone.
The guards carrying him back kept crying. Some of the guards even blamed themselves and wanted to commit suicide, but were stopped by others.
Eisenhower, Montgomery, Patton, Stalin and others walked to the Soviet president one after another and silently took off their hat.
The staff members in the command who survived the war had begun to sob in a low voice, and the Soviet president was now awarded their heartfelt respect.
"Don't cry, we Slavs have shed enough tears. If we shed, we will only have blood left..." Stalin looked at his opponent, and his colleague suddenly knelt down and gently stroked Trotsky's hair, closing his unclosed eyes for him.
"Get up! A huge country!! Fight to the death!! To eliminate the evil forces of fascism!!!" Suddenly, Stalin suddenly raised his head and roared loudly. There was anger and unyielding song.
The singing slowly came out, and the Soviet soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield on the position lowered their heads and hummed. Then, the humming turned into a loud roar.
"Defend my dear motherland! Great alliance! Let the noblest anger roll and tumbling like waves, and carry out the people's war! The sacred war!!" (To be continued...)
