Chapter 1450 Zhukov Is Back

Just after Cyric had set his sights on the more distant America, in Kyiv, a grand siege was unfolding quickly and efficiently.

The encirclement of Germany is huge. There must be a lot of gaps in this huge encirclement. Now, the Soviet troops in the encirclement are trying to rush through these encirclements.

At this point, what is the difference between breaking out and counterattacking? If the only difference is that Stalin's insistence will greatly increase the casualties of the Soviet Red Army.

"Boom, boom." The tiger tank is tall and majestic, galloping on the vast Ukrainian plain. For the German army, this tactic is now familiar.

With the arrival of the follow-up troops, the number of German troops gradually increased, and they began to carry out the inevitable practice at the beginning of the encirclement war, dividing the encirclement into several small encirclements.

In Romne, the 1st SS Panzer Corps, which first arrived here, began to head west, towards Kyiv, and they rowed all the way to divide the encirclement in two!

The first one was still the 1st Heavy Tank Battalion. Karl Bowman was in high spirits and rushed forward with his crew.

"Grenade ready. Target right in front, a military truck." Karl Bowman shouted loudly.

For him, it was not enjoyable to go all the way. He didn't meet a suitable target at all. It made him feel that using his precious grenades to hit cars was simply a waste!

"Boom!" With the roar of the tank, the truck in front became a burning fire, and move on!

On the map, a clear line was drawn, and within two days, they completed the crossing from Romny to Kyiv, dividing the defenders in eastern Kyiv into two, then four, eight, Eat it in one bite!

Where are the Soviet tanks? Bowman was extremely disappointed.

Suddenly, his expression was very strange. Through his observation hole, he could clearly see that on the Soviet position in front of him, a famous Soviet soldier came out of the trench, picked up his bayonet, and rushed towards his side bravely. Come!

Are the Soviets crazy?

"Machine gun, kill them." Bowman gave the order coldly. The radio soldier in front was also the machine gun operator. The light machine gun in front of him soon sounded like a chainsaw.

On the battlefield, the clear voice of the loudspeaker came. It was Stalin's speech. His speech was inspiring, but unfortunately it was useless.

Rows of Soviet soldiers fell, and their charge was doomed to death.

Moscow.

Stalin looked at the map and was speechless for a long time.

The Bryansk Front's blocking of the German southward corps, which he expected, did not materialize at all. After a little movement, they suffered heavy losses and were forced to withdraw.

The huge army of Germany is continuously flocking to Kyiv, and now, the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army in Kyiv are facing the danger of being annihilated.

Stalin's hands trembled a little. He picked up his big cigarette pot, put it in his mouth, didn't light it, just put it down again, and repeated this several times.

No one spoke, and everyone knew that Stalin made another bad move.

Stalin's vain attempt to organize a resolute resistance in Kyiv and to block the Germans in western Ukraine has now been completely dashed.

Stalin was reluctant to give up Kyiv, because giving up Kyiv was equivalent to giving up Ukraine, and Ukraine was the granary of the Soviets. Once Ukraine was taken by the Germans, the Soviets would starve.

If there is no food, how can we fight?

But now, Stalin's insistence has put the precious Soviet army in danger of being wiped out again.

"Comrade Stalin, General Zhukov is here." At this moment, a voice came from beside him.

Zhukov, because he insisted on withdrawing from Kyiv, was sent to the reserve by Stalin. Now, Stalin has called Zhukov to Moscow, and Stalin's attitude is already obvious.

Zhukov walked in, his eyes still firm: "Comrade Stalin, now, we can no longer hesitate, we must give an order to give up Kyiv immediately and let the army break through. We must organize an army in the east of the encirclement and open an opening to the army inside the encirclement. ."

Zhukov did not hold grudges. He was still conscientious in the reserve, and urgently prepared more than 20 reserve infantry divisions for the Soviets and sent them to the front. Zhukov did a good job.

But now, back at the center of power, Zhukov still insisted on his own views, daring to put forward it directly to Stalin.

Now, Kyiv must be abandoned!

Stalin nodded: "Yes, Shaposhnikov, immediately convey my order to let the Southwest Front break out of the encirclement to the east and move to our interior."

As the chief of staff of the Soviet Red Army, Shaposhnikov was anonymous, he was just Stalin's messenger, and now that Stalin spoke, he immediately went down to convey the order.

The rest of the people sighed in their hearts. They knew this earlier, why did they withdraw the army from the encirclement at the beginning? Now there is nothing. There are more than 700,000 Soviet troops there. The mobilization of the army to Moscow was enough for a decisive battle with the Germans outside Moscow.

It's a pity, at the beginning, Zhukov strongly suggested that he was demoted, and now...

Zhukov didn't complain, he was just doing his best to save the current situation, and after he finished talking about Kyiv, Zhukov continued to propose: "Comrade Stalin, I suggest that we hold a military parade in Moscow. It's a pity that there was no military parade on Labor Day."

According to the Soviet tradition, on May 1, 1923, in order to celebrate International Labor Day, the Soviet Union held a military parade on Red Square in Moscow for the first time, and it was also the first military parade in the Soviet Union on May 1, International Labor Day.

Historically, until after World War II, the Soviet Union established May 9 as the Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War and decided to change the date of the military parade from the original May 1 International Labor Day to the Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War. 5?1 International Labor Day turned into a large-scale parade celebration.

The tradition of the Labor Day military parade has been until this year. Because the Great Patriotic War disrupted everything, this military parade has come to an end. Now, Zhukov actually raised this opinion at such a time?

Stalin's eyes lit up, he already understood Zhukov's intentions.

This is the most unforgettable military parade in the history of the Soviet Union. This military parade will give the Soviet military and civilians the greatest encouragement. Even when the country is lost and the army continues to be defeated, the Soviets will never give in. They will use fearless The spirit overcomes all difficulties and welcomes the final victory!
