"Comrade Joseph, it seems that we have kept the radio silent these days and missed a lot of news." Colonel Karl Rove, commander of the 4th Guards Infantry Division, said.
Joseph's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Comrade Karrov, are you accusing me?"
"Ah! Comrade Joseph, that's not what I meant." Colonel Karl Rove quickly denied.
Colonel Karl Rove was afraid that Joseph would be angered by this. If this led to his death, it would be a disaster.
"Hmph!" Joseph snorted coldly. If it were any other time, he would have killed such a little colonel long ago. However, at such a juncture, he dared not do that. If a mutiny is caused, the consequences will be even more serious.
"Comrade Joseph, what should we do now?" Marshal Voroshilov asked.
"We are not far from Nizhny Novgodero now. If we turn on the radio now and contact them, can they send a car to pick us up?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, in this case, our whereabouts are likely to be leaked. The Germans will definitely monitor the radio signals around Nizhny Novgodero." Marshal Voroshilov said.
"Comrade Joseph, we have received news that the government agencies and troops evacuated to Nizhny Novgodero have already evacuated there." A Russian scout reported.
When Joseph heard the news, his face became very ugly.
"Damn it, what are those guys doing? Are they going to betray me?" Joseph was trembling with anger. In his view, those Russian leaders and troops actually withdrew before he arrived, clearly abandoning him and betraying him. This gave Joseph a feeling of betrayal, and made him wish to kill all those guys.
"Comrade Joseph, if the army retreats, the Germans will have no resistance. They will definitely arrive in Nizhny Novgodero soon." Marshal Voroshilov said.
There is no doubt that the current situation has become even more unfavorable to them. Once the Germans occupied Nizhny Novgodero, they could no longer escape. Even, they are very likely to fall into the hands of the Germans.
"Go on, take the path through Nizhny Novgodero and go all the way to Kazan." Joseph ordered.
With no other options, Joseph could only resort to risky tactics. He could only hope that the German blockade would not be too tight. In that case, they would be able to slip past the German blockade and escape all the way.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph." Marshal Voroshilov gritted his teeth, and could only adopt Joseph's suggestion.
Joseph and others continued to start on the road, and their speed increased a lot. Perhaps because of the imminent threat, even Joseph is gritting his teeth and persisting. He knew that if he stayed any longer, if he was caught by the German army, he would die. In order to survive, all potential must be unleashed.
The two armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions of the German army are still rushing forward. And, without the blocking of the Russian army, they only need to march along the road.
Although Russia's transportation facilities are very bad, it hinders the advance of the German troops along the way. It even caused the damage of many tanks and armored vehicles. But even so, the advance speed of the German army is still very fast.
On the afternoon of June 23, troops of the German 9th Armored Division entered Nizhny Novgodero. At this moment, Nizhny Novgodero has become an empty city. Russian government agencies and troops have already evacuated here. Even the civilians in the city were all evacuated. This allowed the Germans to occupy the city without bloodshed.
"Center on Nizhny Novgodero and search the nearby area. According to the information obtained by the intelligence agency, Joseph has not contacted the Russian government agencies and the army. This means that they should still be around here. Even if it is digging Sanchi, we must also find Joseph!" Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff!" The commanders of several divisions replied.
The two armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions of the German army, except for a small number of troops staying at the headquarters, the rest of the troops were dispersed in companies and searched for traces of Joseph around Nizhny Novgodero.
At the same time, the Luftwaffe also dispatched a large number of aircraft to participate in the search.
This kind of carpet search method that cooperates with the sky and the ground is enough to find out any potential enemies.
The only trouble is probably that a large number of routs fled eastward, so that the routs captured by the German army many times had nothing to do with Joseph. They didn't even know that Joseph had escaped from Moscow.
But even so, the German army did not relax, and continued to search. Until they receive an order to stop the search, they will continue to search like this until they find Joseph.
On the morning of June 24, a FW-190 fighter jet was circling in the airspace a little south of Nizhny Novgodero. In order to see the ground clearly, the pilot even lowered the altitude to about 1,000 meters.
Just below this plane, in the bushes, hundreds of Russians are hiding here. This includes Marshal Joseph and Voroshilov.
As the German army's search became more and more stringent, in order to avoid the planes in the sky, they even had to adopt the method of lying down at night. However, this also made their retreat even slower. If it continues like this, it will soon be caught by the German army.
"Comrade Joseph, the German planes have been circling above our heads, and we have no chance to get out of this bush. Once we go out, we will be discovered by the Germans." Marshal Voroshilov looked anxious .
They have wasted a lot of time here, if they continue like this, they will soon be discovered by the German ground forces. At that time, even if you want to leave, you will not be able to leave.
Joseph frowned tightly, and he had no other choice.
"Comrade Karrov, send a team to break out to the west! Lead the German planes away." Joseph ordered.
At a time like this, he had no choice but to abandon the car to save his handsomeness.
Colonel Karl Rove looked a little unhappy, but he still nodded and chose to execute the order.
"Okay, Comrade Joseph, I will arrange it immediately." Colonel Karl Rove said.
Ten minutes later, more than a hundred Russian soldiers left the bushes and ran westward quickly.
