Chapter 724: 725 Strong like a forest

"What do you think? There are no weak people under the command of the head of the head! He Klug usually pretends to be a good man. Do you really think of him as a sick cat? That's a tiger! A tiger that can eat people anytime and anywhere!" Lundstedt sat in his shaking car and said to his confidant beside him: "Look, this is the end of underestimating the talents under the head of the head of the head!"

After saying that, he stuffed a telegram he had just obtained into the palm of his deputy. When the deputy opened the telegram, he saw the short text on it. He read it softly, with a look of shock: "Kluge's F Army broke through a line of defense of the Soviets and advanced 20 kilometers..."

He raised his head and looked at his commander: "Marson, this time, Zhukov's determination to fight must be shaken. Maybe we will kill all the way through this and we won't find any cheaper."

"There is no way. In order to wait for the new 100 Tiger King tanks to be equipped with my army, we waited on the German border for one day. This was the order of the head of state. After all, the situation had not deteriorated to this point at this time." Lundstedt sighed and said, "Zhukov and Rokosovsky, who was the commander-in-chief of the Soviet offensive forces, are still a little capable after all. We still underestimated our opponents after all!"

"Don't they underestimate Klug?" The deputy laughed, remembering that many German generals underestimated Klug, so he restrained his smile again.

"Yes! That general who usually looks harmless is indeed easy to be despised, but he has proved his worth!" Lundstedt narrowed his eyes and said, "Facts have also proved that there are no mediocre talents under the command of the head of state!"

He paused, then raised the corner of his mouth: "Klug, Klug, you made a big splash, but in the end I am still better. After all, as the marshal of the Empire, I am the strongest general under the head of state!"

The cars were shaking constantly, and the infantry was winding forward on both sides of the road, stretching for more than 5 kilometers. On the road further away, trucks and tanks gathered into a torrent of steel. The entire A Group Army can be said to be a new main group army, and the scale of the armored forces was even close to the level of the G Group Army, which was a huge modern cluster.

"The meteorological department called and said that it would be a short 30-hour clear weather, and there would be a period of continuous snowfall. Although some of the locals can take off the plane to investigate, it is not recommended to use the Air Force on a large scale." The deputy put the message sent by the phone that was just stopped and rested in his file bag, and then said: "The message from the General Staff of the Army said, Marshal, your progress speed can be slightly slowed down."

Lundstedt waved his hand and denied his deputy's suggestion: "The marching speed remains unchanged as planned, and the speed of the armored troops is slightly faster! Use armored grenades to cover the two wings of the armored troops! Even if we do not appear on the battlefield, we must put enough pressure on the Soviets. I want to see how courageous Zhukov is and how he chooses!"

"How else can I choose! We can only retreat!" In another direction on the battlefield, Zhukov in the temporary command of the suburbs of Minsk angrily hit the map and roared at a group of combat staff: "Who can tell me why the German team has changed from a disadvantage to an advantage in just one day!"

In fact, what Zhukov was most worried about was not the 18,000 German paratroopers standing in front of Rokosovsky's attacking cluster. If calculated based on the original attack speed of the 2nd Front of the Guards, after eating these German paratroopers, the Soviets still had enough time to fight for the close Kiev.

But when he wanted to grit his teeth and let the troops attack Marin, the name of a city called Damanhul always lingered in his heart. According to information sent by American allies, in the place of Damanhul, the mighty Barton and most of the 8th Army suffered. And the inconspicuous 20,000 British and American coalition forces suffered the most was the inconspicuous 20,000 German paratroopers.

Of course, another news had to make Zhukov fear three points. The "ium" Klug, who was originally in the other direction of the north, suddenly turned into a fierce tiger down the mountain, forcing the 1st Front Army of the Guards under the command of the famous Soviet general Konev, put unprecedented pressure on the Soviet front line of defense.

Zhukov had to reassess the danger of his attack on Kiev. In the end, he felt that even if he captured Kiev, he would not be able to achieve the final plan to encircle the German army in the south. The offensive cluster could not prevent the German army from counterattacking, and the subsequent hundreds of thousands of Soviet infantry could not be the opponent of the two German armies.

"The 1st Army in Romania has entered Ukraine, and they are temporarily assigned to the German General Staff to command. Intelligence shows that an Italian army is also entering Romania one after another, and their ultimate goal is also the Ukrainian region." A Soviet staff member talked about the changes and development of the war situation as if he was a death. The German army had too many reserve forces, which was not the result that the Soviets wanted to see.

The key is that Zhukov was not afraid of those fragile Romanian troops and the distant Italians. What he was more worried about was the A-Group Army, which was gradually approaching the Soviet-German front. Once this army was fully launched on the front, Konev's 1st Front Army would be under greater pressure. Only Comrade Lenin in the sky could know whether he could defend the defense line.

If Zhukov insists on attacking Kiev, it is likely that the A-group Army will defeat the Soviet defense line and then encircle the entire Rokosovsky attack cluster, and the Soviet Union will lose all its main forces. This result is not what Stalin hopes to see, and in that case the Soviet Union will be defeated quickly, and Stalin's personal rule in the Soviet Union will also be in crisis.

"Order Rokosovsky to stop advancing immediately! Retreat!" So many reasons made Zhukov give this retreat order. God knows how many Soviet soldiers he had betrayed this order. In Donetsk, hundreds of thousands of people were surrounded by Guderian, but on the front battlefield, the Soviet Red Army gave up attack and turned to retreat and defense.

This is equivalent to the announcement of Hong Guoguo. He admitted his defeat on the southern front and used the lives of hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers as a price to complete a bet that lost some of his family's assets. Although it was not a bankruptcy, it was definitely a trauma. Obviously, this decision made Zhukov feel shame, his face swelled red, and he looked ashamed and angry.

In order to save the Soviet Red Army in the south, Zhukov had to let Temuxingo, who was in charge of the southern line, organize a southward counterattack, attempt to recapture Shebelinka, a southern important town, and threaten Guderian's side-rear defense. However, the Soviet Red Army infantry heading south happened to run into the D-G Army commanded by Model behind Guderian's G-G Army, so the plan to retake Shebelinka was incomplete. The Soviet Red Army near Donetsk had to rely on themselves.

Model, a general who was the best in defense, immediately took the cover from Guderian's rear. His troops firmly pressed against Sheberinka, leaving Temusinko no one to try.

At the same time, on the Soviet-German front near Marin, a Soviet officer handed a telegram from Minsk to his commander.

"Retreat!" Rokosovsky is worthy of being a famous general in the world. After receiving the telegram from Zhukov, he did not even hesitate and directly issued an order to retreat. From the announcement of stopping the attack and until the camp retreat, the Soviet Red Army did not delay 2 hours. Countless Soviet Red Army soldiers staggered on the road they had just walked along with no expression on their faces. They defeated their opponents and won one after another. Unfortunately, they still had to retreat and retreat from their own territory in the end.

The bombing of the day caused these Soviet soldiers to lose a lot of equipment, but now tiny snowflakes continued to float in the sky. The German Air Force planes that followed the shadows finally disappeared, making the retreat easier.

When the Soviets stopped moving forward in front of the German paratroopers' defense line, cheers broke out on the German paratrooper positions in the outskirts of Marin! A paratrooper division of 11,000 people frightened away the 200,000 elite army commanded by the famous Soviet general Rokosovsky. What a glory and how powerful it is!

"Damanhul!" All the paratroopers held their guns high and made a shocking cry. This was their pride, and they were also the fastest and hardest fist of the empire. They fought to the death in Damanhul, and they fought for the lifetime of German paratroopers there. Now they are already a terrible army that all commanders have to consider!

The news that 20,000 German paratroopers scared away more than 400,000 Soviet soldiers on the periphery of Kiev spread like wildfire and became a miracle in world military history. Although this miracle was not done by paratroopers alone, this honor still belongs to the Third Reich paratroopers, and to every soldier who shouted the word Damanhul when he jumped out of the cabin door.

The entire Eastern Front Battle was like a feast of generals, making the whole world unable to help but applaud the front commanders of the two countries.

Guderian's fierce attack and sudden turn on the German southern front; Model's defense was as steady as Mount Tai; Liszt in the north defended the fierce and tenaciousness; Klug's stunning success...

Similarly, the performance of the Soviet generals was remarkable. Zhukov's decisive behavior during the attack was also unhesitant when retreating...

Even Akado has to admit that this is an era of star-studded stars, it is truly true, and there are many strong people.
