Chapter 438: Kyiv's pre-war deployment

"I have personally sent a telegram and phone number to the Head of State! The Head of State's reinforcements will come to us soon!"

"Let's evacuate now! The faster the better! I don't see these Soviet offensives and the style of fighting to the death!"

"I was really unexpected that their tank army group had more than 100,000 people, and the number of tanks was even more than I expected! Fortunately, we had the 503 heavy armored division to help with the battle, otherwise our current tank group would be in trouble, and most of the tanks would be wiped out!"

Model frowned and said.

In response to this, Chief Operations Staff John and Chief of Staff Everfert also looked at each other and stopped talking.

Then at around 5:45 am, Model personally led his main force and began to make a retreat plan.

On the way to retreat, Model first let the infantry troops eliminate the enemy within 1,000 meters; if there are more distances in lurking enemy troops, he will repeatedly ask for the use of a large number of mortars, artillery, heavy machine guns, and even tank groups to eliminate them so that his troops can pass smoothly.

In addition, he also requested the aviation force to cover and leave.

Their marching speed has increased from 7 kilometers per hour to 9 kilometers.

Of course, there were also dispatching a group of elite troops to resist the pursuing Soviet troops behind the large army; and deploying a large number of mine areas and obstacle areas to prevent the Soviet troops from pursuing.

"Why did these Soviet troops suddenly fight bravely like chicken blood?"

A German soldier named Fred who was deploying the minefield was full of confusion.

"I heard from the Soviet prisoners who were captured that their famous writer Ilya Ellenburg seemed to have delivered some radical speeches; the soldiers of the entire Soviet army, as well as people, hated us to pieces and cut us into pieces!"

Another German soldier named Frank responded.

"Hmph! If these damn Soviet writers hadn't been too much talkative, they wouldn't have let these Soviet soldiers chase us like madmen!"

Fred said angrily.

"Actually, to be honest, the writer's words are really right. At least we have really killed many of them, including those prisoners! And we have also ruined many women. I still remember the Soviet girl a few months ago. Her figure is really hot. I have worked it several times in the night and I still feel unsatisfied!"

Frank was heartless.

"Hey! Is it really okay for us to say this? If someone else hears it, you may be beaten to death! And now more than two months ago, the head of state has issued a death order, strictly prohibiting us from doing this! If you want to die, don't pull me together! I have my wife and children waiting for me to return to the hamburger!"

Fred looked at the German soldiers in the distance who were concentrating on deploying minefields and hurriedly warned Frank.

Frank shrugged indifferently, stopped talking and continued to deploy those minefields.

"Hey! Those planes seem to be the Soviet army's "Black Death" - Il-2 attack planes? And there are thousands of them!"

At this moment, a German soldier who was looking up at the sky and resting for a while suddenly shouted in horror.

"Oh no! It's the Soviet aviation troops coming to the air strike! Escape quickly!"

Hearing this, Fred couldn't help but look up, and then he shouted in panic.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

"Bang!Bang!Bang..."

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da..."

At this time, the Il-2 attackers, which were equipped with two 7.62mm machine guns, two 20mm air cannons, and eight of the most advanced rockets at the time, which could not only fire at the air, ground, and 500 kilograms of bombs, were also diving at a maximum speed of 470 kilometers per hour and attacking.

For a time, the German troops who were deploying minefields and blocking their backs to resist the Soviet pursuit were beaten to death.

The sounds of screams and pain were also coming one after another, which made people feel heartbroken.

However, the Il-2 attackers that just attacked the German army were only of their usual type, and the Il-2 attackers that flew up to carry out large-scale air strikes were the improved Il-2m-3 attackers.

This type of camouflaged Il-2m-3 attacker can have a speed of up to 420 kilometers per hour and a range of more than 750 kilometers. The weapons include: 2 23mm cannons, 2 7.62mm machine guns, 4 82mm and 132mm rockets, and 400 to 600 kilograms of bombs can be mounted under the bay and wings. The self-defense weapon is a 12.7mm machine gun in the rear seat.

Moreover, the Soviet army is now in mass production, and they plan to produce at least 40,000 aircraft before December 1943.

Therefore, facing the Soviet army's sudden large number of new Il-2m-3 attack aircraft, Model's troops retreating were suffering from bombing.

At this time, in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, Manstein had already dispatched a large number of German troops to transport them from Konisburg through helicopters and transport planes three days ago, and carried out a large number of fortifications here, preparing to fight a sniper battle with the Soviet army here.

Because for Chen Yanlong, Ukraine is not only the world's third largest grain exporter, but also has the reputation of "European granary"; it is also a country with relatively developed industry and agriculture, especially the heavy industry here, which occupies a major position in industry.

So Ukraine cannot be lost to the Soviet army just like this, and it is also changing its policies to treat Ukrainian people.

Because Chen Yanlong, based on the historical information of World War II on the Internet and the forum contents that he had read in later generations, he knew that the Ukrainians did not like the Soviet army before the Soviet-German War broke out during World War II; because Ukraine was not as good as Russia in the Soviet Union, and because their resources were more important to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union demanded more and gave less to Ukraine.

Because Ukraine, as a major grain producer, was constantly forced to purchase food by the Soviet Union at a price reduction, which led to Ukraine's shortage of grain storage and starving to death for many people (especially the Great Famine of Ukraine), over time, Ukraine wanted to resist the Soviet Union and pursue independence.

So when the German army and the Soviet Union fought a war, many Ukrainians gave food, honey and other food to the German army; and many Ukrainian people also made their own rooms to accommodate the German army.

But when the Soviet-German War broke out for a while, the Ukrainians discovered that the German army was not here to help them resist Soviet rule, eliminate Jews, and the Russians came to establish a purebred Ukrainian country, allowing them to be liberated and independent.

So many Ukrainians were ready to resist the German rule, even those Ukrainians who were summoned into the SS were the same.

For example, for example, historical records on the Internet in later generations, in Russia, which was the 30th Grenadier Division of the Waffen SS on August 27, 1944, the Ukrainians not only created a large number of mutiny activities within the organization, such as passing away, providing intelligence to the Soviet army, but also launched a riot, killing 200 German officers, and then surrendering to the Soviet army.

As well as the Soviet and Ukrainian soldiers of the 36th Grenadier Division of the SS, they also carried out large-scale abandonment, departure, and surrender in December 1944...

Therefore, Chen Yanlong also took these Soviet soldiers and Ukrainian soldiers seriously; but at this moment, he planned to turn Ukraine into an independent country like later generations to restrain the Soviet army.

Because this is always better than those who all surrendered to the Soviet army after Ukraine rebelled. In that case, it would be very disadvantageous to the German army, because the number of troops mobilized by Ukraine was at least 500,000, or even more than one million.
