Jagged Germany
Chapter 1447: Soldiers Coming to Moscow (Ask for Monthly Tickets)"Comrade Commander, the German attack was too violent. They dispatched a large number of armored troops to attack our defense line. Now, the front line has been torn apart by the Germans. A large number of German tanks are slaughtering our troops!" Russian Army Lieutenant General Pulkayev, chief of staff of the Southwest Front, reported with a look of horror.
General Kirponos, the commander of the Southwest Front Army, also had a very ugly expression on his face, although they had already expected that once the German army launched a violent attack, they might not be able to resist it. However, after the German army actually launched an offensive, they realized that the German army's powerful attack power was stronger than they expected.
"Order the frontline departments to defend their positions!" Lieutenant General Zhertov, political commissar, ordered.
"Stay on the ground? In that case, our last troops will be eaten by the Germans!" General Kirponos said.
"Then what should we do? Is it possible to retreat?" Lieutenant General Zhertov frowned.
"If we retreat, the retreat speed of our troops may not be as fast as the German armored troops!" Lieutenant General Pulkayev said.
Admiral Kirponos doesn't know what to do now. If he orders the troops to stand firm, the final result may be that all the troops will be wiped out by the Germans. If they retreat, the final result may be similar to this.
"Comrade Commander, why not leave some troops to retreat and let them find a way to resist the German attack. The rest of the troops, retreat to Moscow! As long as we can withdraw to Moscow, we will be safe." Lieutenant General Pulkayev suggested.
The current Southwest Front Army has only hundreds of thousands of people left. Facing the attack of three million German troops and their servants, they simply couldn't resist. The only way is to retreat to Moscow.
Admiral Kirponos thought for a while, then nodded: "Send a telegram to Moscow to inform them of our intention! If Moscow agrees, we will withdraw to Moscow. If Moscow refuses, then everyone Get ready to fight to the death."
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Both Lieutenant Generals Zhertov and Purkayev replied.
As the generals of the Russian army, they obviously didn't have the guts to retreat without authorization. In that case, Joseph will not let them go. If you want to retreat, you must get authorization from Moscow.
It's just that it takes time for those people in Moscow to make a final decision. And the fierce German attack will not give them time.
The German 9th Panzer Army became the main force attacking the Russian Southwest Front Army. The 9th Armored Division, 99th Armored Division, 91st Mechanized Infantry Division, 92nd Mechanized Infantry Division, 93rd Mechanized Infantry Division and 94th Mechanized Infantry Division all have powerful assault capabilities.
Under the leadership of the armored troops of the German army, the armies of the slave countries also performed very well. Although the armies of these slave countries are not as well equipped as the German army, they are no worse than the Russian army. In terms of fighting will, although it cannot be compared with the Russian army. But they are very good at playing with the wind. It is still very good at attacking behind the advancing German army.
It is precisely because of the armies of these slave countries that the German army has largely escaped the plight of insufficient troops. A large number of German troops and their servants, with the assistance of armored forces, surrounded the Russian army, and then wiped out the Russian army in the encirclement.
Marshal Rommel's headquarters, along with the advancing troops, kept moving forward.
"How is the situation on the front line?" Marshal Rommel asked.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, all our armored units have already torn through the Russian defense line. Currently, they are interspersed with encirclement. It is expected that soon, the main force of the Russian Southwest Front Army will be divided into pieces." Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner, chief of staff of the Ninth Army, said.
Marshal Rommel nodded, he is still very satisfied with the current German offensive. According to this speed, it will not take much time to wipe out the Russian Southwest Front Army. When the main force of the German Army Group C approached the city of Moscow, it would probably scare the Russians enough.
"Order all departments to continue advancing according to the scheduled plan. We need to eliminate the Russian Southwest Front Army in the shortest possible time." Marshal Rommel ordered. The sooner the Russian Southwest Front Army is wiped out, the sooner the German C Group can implement the right uppercut plan, and perhaps be able to surround more Russian troops. This will be very beneficial for subsequent operations.
According to the German army's right uppercut plan, in this battle, at least the Russian Southwest Front Army and the Western Front Army need to be eliminated. If possible, encircle the Northwest Front Army of the Russian Army.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal!" Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner replied.
"However, Your Excellency the Marshal. If the Russians are determined to flee, it may be difficult for us to wipe them out." Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner continued.
Marshal Rommel nodded: "This is inevitable. Let our armored forces speed up. That way, we can keep more Russians."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal." Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner immediately went to convey the order.
The armored units of Army Group C of the German Army, including six armored divisions and 12 mechanized infantry divisions, have become the fist of the entire army. Three thousand tanks formed a torrent of steel and rushed towards the defense line of the Russian Southwest Front Army. The remnants of the Russian Southwest Front Army could not withstand the German attack at all. Numerous troops were divided and surrounded, and then wiped out by the infantry who followed up with the German army.
In the sky, German planes flew by and dropped bombs on the heads of the Russian army, taking the lives of countless Russian officers and soldiers.
On the ground, the German armored forces are rampaging.
When the Russian Southwest Front Army received an order from Moscow to retreat, the entire Southwest Front Army had been completely disabled. Although Admiral Kirponos immediately issued an order to retreat. However, it was still too late. A large number of Russian troops were surrounded and then wiped out. Even those retreating troops could not escape. After all, how could human legs outrun the tracks of a tank or the wheels of a car?
It took only three days for the German Army Group C to wipe out the Russian Southwest Front Army. This Russian front with 8 armies was almost wiped out. The vanguard of the German Army Group C is not far from Moscow. It can already be regarded as the soldiers approaching the city of Moscow.
