Chapter 937
Timoshenko looked at Pavlov with sharp eyes. As a general who led troops, he left his troops and ran away first. This behavior is quite shameful.
Khrushchev is gone. After all, Khrushchev is not the commander of the army, he is just a political cadre. Although this guy has been savagely interfering with the command of the army, his escape will not affect the overall situation.
If Timoshenko and Pavlov also left, this would be a big problem. The troops who stayed here, because there was no command, would definitely fall into chaos and eventually be captured by the Germans.
Brother Timoshen could not do such a thing.
Pavlov was in a hurry: "Moscow has not decided to fight a big war at all. This battle is at best a border conflict. If we are not here, then the diplomatic mediation will be very simple. If we It also falls into the hands of the Germans, and Moscow will be very passive."
Pavlov is the only one who speaks of escape so righteously, but his words are not without reason.
Moscow has not yet planned to fight with the Germans. Since last year, Moscow just wanted to take back the fortress and fool the British. Moscow is not ready to fight a world war. They are now just a border conflict.
If in a border conflict, the generals of the Soviets were all captured by Germany, it would be difficult to explain, it shows that the Soviets were definitely prepared, and it was not an accident at all.
Although they are well aware of each other, but at least on the surface to be reasonable.
Pavlov said it with great righteousness and dignity, and at the same time, it was also in line with Timoshenko's intention.
No one wants to be a prisoner, especially as a high-ranking commander, it takes a face.
In history, Timoshenko was a tragic figure who turned the tide. The Soviet-Finnish war was messed up by Voroshinov. At least after Timoshenko went up, the war was stabilized, and the Soviet Union could be swollen and fat. , say he is the winner.
After the Barbarossa plan began, Pavlov's front army leaked a big hole, Timoshenko was also ordered in danger, although he kept retreating, it was not a complete defeat.
It's a pity that Timoshenko was defeated by Germany in Kharkov and eventually faded out of people's attention. He was originally a character with the same name as Zhukov, but he ended up being unknown.
But now, Timoshenko, who was born in the cavalry, was instigated by Pavlov in the face of imminent defeat. In order not to be captured by the Germans, Timoshenko decided to retreat immediately.
And his order has just reached the front line.
Under the bombardment of Karl's artillery, every shot was a terrifying sight, with heavy casualties. After a few shots, the courage of the Soviet soldiers to go all out had long since disappeared.
The infantry lost morale, and the tank troops were still advancing according to the original plan. In this way, the tanks and the infantry were out of touch. In front of the fortress, the tank troops suffered a devastating blow.
"Boom!" The German 75mm anti-tank gun fired artillery shells from the fortifications with very high accuracy. The KV tank in the front emitted black smoke and was blown up!
Only the driver ran out from the front, and the people behind were already killed!
The driver sprinted back quickly, but he still did not escape the shadow of death. The sound of a chainsaw sounded from behind, and the MG light machine gun shot a dense rain of bullets. In an instant, there were more than a dozen holes in his body. !
He turned his head back and saw a terrible scene. The suspension bridge of the fortress was lowered, and a large number of German soldiers poured out from the fortress. They were counterattacking!
Later, the German tank troops had blocked the retreat of the Soviets. When the news reached the fortress, the commander guarding the fortress immediately issued an order to attack!
This is what they've been waiting for!
The momentum of the Soviets' offensive has long since disappeared. Now, the morale of our own side is in full swing. Go out and capture all the Soviets. Those who refuse to surrender will be killed directly!
Due to the limitations of the terrain, no tanks were deployed in the fortress, and all infantry divisions guarded the fortress. Now, they are bravely charging outside with their own submachine guns!
At this time, the Soviet soldiers also just received the order to retreat.
Because of the fear of having a supervising team behind them, the Soviet soldiers could only bite the bullet and rush forward. Now, when the order to retreat came, they instantly became excited.
Run!
Turning around, their pace is fast, not as slow as when they came, everyone is running with all their strength, because the Germans are behind them!
And their escape quickly turned into a rout. No one stayed behind to cover. The people behind were shot and killed during the escape, and panic spread rapidly.
At this time, in the other direction, the German tank force has entered the new city of Brest!
The resistance of the Soviets was not brave. Many of them raised their hands and surrendered after resisting a little. Bauman did not care about these prisoners at all, leaving it to the troops behind to watch and detain them. His task was to rush to the Soviet Union. Go inside the human headquarters!
The city is not big, but the streets are very wide, which is the advantage of the new city.
The tracks of the Tiger tank are rolling against the solid ground. Inside the tank, Karl Bowman carefully observed the front from the observation hole.
The turret is turning back and forth. This is the normal way for tanks to search. In the regulations of the tank crew, after entering the theater, the tank operator must stay in the tank and cannot show personal heroism. After entering the army, life no longer belongs to oneself. , but belong to the whole country.
Just after the turret turned ninety degrees, suddenly, his eyes were attracted. Just to the right of the tank, there was a stadium. At this time, inside the stadium, a biplane was running at full power, preparing to take off. !
In an instant, his eyelids jumped, and many combat experiences told him that this plane must be famous!
"Stop, hurry, high-explosive shells, nine o'clock, ready to shoot!" he shouted loudly.
The cooperation of the crew was extremely tacit. When the driver in front stepped on the brakes, the loader was half-squatting, and as soon as the car stopped, the shells were loaded immediately.
It was only two seconds before and after, and the gunner had already set his eyes on the sight, silently estimating the advance in his heart.
Tanks hit planes, I have never done it before, but tanks have been abused by planes, and now, they are finally going to reverse it!
The 88mm high-explosive bomb has a killing radius of more than ten meters, so as long as it explodes near the opponent, it will be enough.
"Aim finished."
"Fire!"
Following Bowman's order, the gunner stepped on the trigger savagely, and with a loud bang, the entire tank swayed, and a high-explosive shell flew out of the muzzle.
