Chapter 1441: Romney join forces
"We can't wait any longer." At this moment, a voice sounded: "I will issue an order to let our army retreat across the board. If the Germans completely surrounded us, we will never have a chance."
Khrushchev and Temuxingo turned their heads and spoke with General Kilbonos and commander of the Southwest Front. Ukraine's war was not as bad as Belarus, and it was largely up to him.
Admiral Kilbonos, one of the first senior generals to recover from the shock of the war, did not specifically place his troops at the forefront. After the war broke out, he effectively used the depth of Ukrainian territory to deploy the four armies under his jurisdiction to tackle the stages, support each other, and even boldly carried out counterattacks on the flanks of the German armored legion.
He was in Budonny and later under the command of Temuxinge, the military affairs of the Southwest.
(The hero of East China is a little confused. He is the commander of the Southwest Front Army. What should Brother Timuxin be called?)
Now, Stalin did not agree to retreat, and their front-line commanders knew very well that once the Germans surrounded him, hundreds of thousands of troops would probably be lost.
It has been more than a day or two for them to retreat. Now Stalin has asked to hold on. Finally, General Kilbonos stood up. He ordered his troops to retreat on his own regardless of the danger of being sent to the military court.
Brother Timuxin nodded.
Khrushchev nodded as well.
Of course they had no objection, but they did not dare to sign their names on the order book. If such an order is issued, they would probably be shot. Now that General Kilbonos stands out, that would be absolutely great.
Under the orders of Admiral Kilbonos, the Southwest Front began to act, and they packed up their camps, moved their cars, and prepared for evacuation.
………
Eastern Kiev, Romne.
(It is inevitable that the middle army will go south, because there are too many defenders in Kiev. If the encirclement is not large enough and the troops are not strong enough, you will not be able to cover it tightly. Just look at the map and you will know that Rom is in the eastern part of Kiev, which is about the same distance from Kiev and the border. You can think of how huge the encirclement in the Battle of Kiev is! Just now, the heroes of East China were also shocked.)
"Roar, rush, rush in!" Tiger tanks were driving at full speed, and black smoke came out from the diesel engine at the tail, and the 88mm gun barrel was high. As the SS's fist unit, they were rushing in the front.
The first heavy armored battalion, Yishui Tiger tanks, and some of the additional armors hanging outside have been cracked. After repeated battles, they didn't even have time to replace the rotten additional armor. For them, time is everything!
Carl Bowman sat in his tank basket, looking at the outline of the city gradually appearing in front of him, and he was looking forward to it infinitely. Where is the Soviet tank? Come out quickly!
Since Operation Barbarossa, Bowman's achievements have been soaring. So far, he has destroyed 72 Soviet tanks. Now, the rear has begun to plan to award him the Iron Cross. As long as the war is over, Bowman will become a hero that everyone admires.
Now, Bauman hopes that the Soviet tanks will appear in front of him, so that he can accumulate more results.
Unfortunately, there was nothing. His tank rushed into the city first, and no enemy on the streets attacked him.
Romne had empty troops, and there were less than one company of troops stationed here. When they rushed over, the order for the military command to retreat was issued.
As a result, the defenders here retreated quickly, leaving the empty city to the German army!
Citizens in the city hid in their rooms and no one dared to come out. They were waiting for their destiny in fear.
"We have successfully occupied Romne!" Battalion Commander Livat shouted in the radio. The news reached the command of Ditrich, the commander of the 2nd Armored Cluster, which was fifty kilometers away from them.
"After occupying Romne, we blocked the Soviets' retreat. Now, we are going to meet with the Southern Army Group. Where is Manstein's troops?"
Just on the map spread out on the flat ground, Ditrich looked at the densely packed marks on it and listened to his subordinates' reports.
"General Kleist's first armored cluster has been rushing for a while. They had forced the Dnieper River the night before yesterday and seized a landing field in the Kremenchurch area. Then they attacked from this landing field to the general direction of the Rubre."
The Soviets thought that relying on the Dnieper River as a natural barrier could block the German legion. Unfortunately, it was easy to find a suitable landing ground for such a long river. There was only the weak 38th Army in the Kremenchurg area, which was transferred from the base camp reserve team and had poor combat effectiveness.
When Germany controlled the landing ground, they could not fight back at all. As a result, a large number of German tanks came.
Two days ago, when we arrived in Kremenchurg, we should reach Romne at their speed, right?
"Send our scouts south to find the armored forces of the Southern Legion and look forward to joining them," Dietrich said.
When the armored troops advance, they must send scouts in front. Now, just as the main force captured the city, the pioneering scouts have begun to continue their reconnaissance to the south.
The light three-wheeled motorcycle and wheeled infantry fighting vehicle are the main equipment of the scouts. At this time, in a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, the scouts' eyes were looking at the black smoke rising from the ground in the distance, and they could no longer stop being surprised.
They were so familiar with that kind of movement, that was a large-scale tank force advancing!
"It must be our troops, hurry up, go up!" said the scout excitedly.
Just when they saw the outline of the troops in the distance, they had already contacted the reconnaissance units opposite. The riders riding three-wheeled BMW motorcycles were wearing windbreakers and looked very cool.
"Hey, which part of you are? We are the 2nd Armored SS First Armored Army!"
"We are the 16th Armored Division of the 1st Armored Cluster!" the soldier opposite shouted loudly.
"We're meeting!"
"Long live the empire!"
On the vast Ukrainian plains south of Rom, the two armies finally met successfully. The pioneering reconnaissance troops first came into contact, and they hugged each other excitedly and celebrated.
Chapter completed!
