"It's hard to believe that you would be involved in something like this and be the mastermind. You let me down so much."

The mustache lowered his head, looking sad and sorrowful.

Marshal Rommel stood motionless in the room, and the soft light at night made his outline more clear and distinct.

There were only two of them in the room, and most of the time it was Mustache who was talking, while Rommel listened quietly.

Perhaps because of mental and physical exhaustion, Mustache was silent for a long time this time.

When he raised his head again, there was no sadness in his eyes, and there was a hint of confusion.

"What exactly did they promise you? You actually want to betray your own country and head of state."

Rommel did not remain silent this time and defended himself:

"I did not betray the Third Reich. Instead, I saw the difficulties faced by the empire and clearly realized that the head of state was no longer suitable to continue to be in charge of the country.

Nowadays, the two fronts, both internal and external, must choose one to compromise, but the head of state is unwilling to do so.

If this is the case, then my companions and I can only take relatively drastic measures, but it is a pity that we failed in the end."

The confusion in the mustache's eyes turned into anger, and he slapped the table hard:

"You can tell me these things face to face, but how do you know that I am unwilling to make changes?

No matter what the reason, it is always wrong to assassinate a head of state, and he should even be killed by a thousand cuts."

Rommel smiled bitterly and was unwilling to speak again.

He knew the character of the head of state very well. If the assassination failed, there was nothing to say.

The mustache sighed deeply again, and then gently pressed a switch on the table.

Two seconds later, SS leader Himmler opened the door and walked in, standing behind Rommel.

Mustache finally said:

"The people of the entire Third Reich will know the crimes you have committed. Go all the way, I will not make it difficult for your wife and children."

"Thank you, Head of State."

Marshal Rommel followed Himmler out of the Führer's office. He met Marshal Kruger in the corridor. The two looked at each other and remained silent.

The SS's speed was very fast, the ins and outs of the assassination incident were already clear, and the individual's guilt was very clear.

Field Marshal Rommel and Field Marshal Kruger were the two highest-ranking people involved in this matter.

The two men were shot in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Office. The bodies were not cremated. The head of state made an exception and allowed their families to collect the bodies.

The sound of the gunshot reached Mustache's ears from a distance, and his body gradually collapsed, his age becoming more and more obvious.

"Dong dong dong..."

Before he could adjust his mentality, there was a knock on the door, and then Chief of General Staff Keitel walked in.

Keitel has one arm bandaged and walks with a limp.

This assassination operation and the Valkyrie plan secretly planned by the traitors involved many people, and 1/4 of the people in the Supreme Command were captured.

Under such circumstances, there was no one available for Mustache, so the injured Keitel could only continue to work.

Keitel's eyes flashed with anxiety, and his mustache was slightly frightened.

"Führer, the Soviet army has begun to strengthen the Dnieper River."

Keitel said quickly:

"They dispatched at least five airborne divisions and landed on the west bank of the Dnieper River. This move was beyond Marshal Model's expectations. The war was very intense and the entire Dnieper River defense line was undergoing a test!"

The mustache cursed harshly.

Obviously, the Bolsheviks took advantage of the civil strife in the Third Reich to launch an attack, and Stalin was probably waiting to see his own joke.

Mustache forced himself to stand up and followed Kate to the Supreme Command.

He has not slept for more than 30 hours, and now it seems that he will not be able to rest for the next 10 or so hours.

This assassination incident would involve so many people, and there would also be many senior generals and senior government officials, which Little Beard did not expect.

On the surface, he still appears calm and collected, but in reality he has begun to doubt himself.

I thought I could get unconditional support from all the military and civilians, but I didn't expect there were so many rebels secretly.

Along with self-doubt, I also felt a little paranoid.

..

At 3 a.m. on February 24, nearly 1,000 transport planes carrying five Red Army airborne divisions took off from multiple frontline airports.

At 4 a.m., the transport plane arrived in the target airspace, and tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers began parachuting.

The German anti-aircraft firepower deployed on the west bank of the Dnieper River continued to pour firepower overhead. The ballistic trajectories drew eye-catching red lines in the sky, and the explosions illuminated the night.

At the same time, more than 20,000 artillery pieces of various types deployed by the Soviet army on the east bank of the Dnieper River also began to roar.

Dense artillery shells flew over the Dnieper River and landed on the German defense lines.

The west bank of the Dnieper River was set on fire, and the flames stretched for hundreds of miles.

Katyusha rocket launchers were fired intensively, and the roaring tail flames of the rockets drew a long flame dragon in the sky.

It looks like a rainbow and is as powerful as thunder.

The smooth surface of the river was sparkling with all kinds of war flames.

In the underground command fortress of Army Group Center in Kiev, Marshal Model's forehead exuded fine beads of sweat, glistening in the dim light.

The assassination world is still fermenting, and hundreds of Model's men have been arrested by the SS. Most of these people are officers.

Some of the senior staff officers of the Army Group with whom he spent all day were also arrested, and Model felt a serious shortage of manpower.

Before the gunfire sounded tonight, the SS was still arresting people in his unit.

This incident involved the safety of the head of state, and Model did not dare to easily stop it.

At least four marshals, including Marshal Rommel and Marshal Kluge, were arrested and shot.

Model had long thought that the Soviet army would take advantage of the chaos to attack, and made some responses and adjustments.

However, the Soviet army suddenly dispatched five airborne divisions, all of which landed at the seams of the German defense lines on the west bank. This move exceeded Model's expectations and disrupted his combat plan from the beginning.

Model estimated that the Soviet army only had 15,000 airborne troops, but the actual situation was three to four times that estimate.

This forced him to deploy more troops to encircle and suppress the airborne troops, causing considerable loopholes in both the frontline and rear defenses.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, at dawn, the Soviet army's large-scale forced crossing operation began.

"The enemy wants to use the airborne troops to seize the bridgehead position and cover the follow-up troops to quickly land on the west bank. The 255th, 267th and other infantry divisions directly under the 4th Group Army have all gone to encircle and suppress it."

Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Ludwig pointed at the map and spoke quickly:

"Currently, it seems that the place the enemy wants to capture most is Kiev. This direction has the largest number of enemy landing troops and the most intense artillery fire."

"Some enemy tanks and soldiers have already run onto the ice. Marshal, do you want to blast the ice immediately?"

Marshal Model lay all over the battle map. After studying it for a while, he waved his hand and said:

"Don't rush, don't rush, this is definitely just a tentative attack by the enemy. We can't use all the trump cards at the beginning."

Lieutenant General Ludwig said with some concern:

"But our army will not be able to wipe out all the airborne troops that have landed for a while. If the enemy's landing troops are allowed to join the airborne troops, then..."

The chief of staff felt that the current situation should be concentrated on destroying the enemy's airborne troops, which were like fleas, and then strengthening the river bank defenses.

Model still shook his head, and Ludwig had no choice but to convey the order.

..

General Vatutin, the commander of the First Ukrainian Front, personally came to the east bank of the Dnieper River and looked at the west bank where the artillery fire was pouring with his binoculars.

To his left and right stood Lieutenant General Ivanov, Chief of Staff, and Lieutenant General Khrushchev, member of the Military Commission.

More than 20,000 cannons roared at the same time, and shells rained down on the German positions on the west bank. The scene was very shocking.

The excited Khrushchev even felt that the rolling heat wave crossed the Dnieper River and fell directly on his face, making him feel itchy.

The rockets fired from the rocket launcher flew over the heads of the three people and hit the west bank like a violent storm.

The power of war is displayed before our eyes, making people involuntarily proud of the great and powerful Soviet Union.

The two armies of the 60th Group Army are currently launching the attack, with a front line stretching for five kilometers.

Red Army soldiers held red flags and ran quickly toward the west bank behind tanks and armored vehicles.

Although many soldiers knew that such attacks were only exploratory and aimed at attracting enemy firepower.

But they had no fear and had no intention of retreating once they started charging.

The German anti-tank guns deployed on the west bank continued to fire at the river, and the Soviet tanks were blown into fireballs as they marched.
