Iron Germany

The offensive of the German army and its allies has become more and more fierce, which has caused great casualties to the Russian troops stationed in the urban area of ​​Smolensk, and at the same time, their morale has been greatly affected.

With more and more casualties and more and more positions lost, the Russian army's will to resist is no longer so strong.

This change is undoubtedly more unfavorable for the Russian army. In this case, they will not last long in Smolensk. In other words, they will soon be wiped out by the German army and its allies.

The Western Front of the Russian Army originally had five infantry armies, one tank army and one air force army. However, the 3rd Army, the 3rd Tank Army has been eaten by the Germans. The 1st Army of the Air Force was lost under the air strikes of the Luftwaffe at the beginning of the war. The other four infantry armies also suffered considerable losses. After retreating to Smolensk, it was besieged by the German army and its allies, which caused heavy losses to the Russian army. There are not many troops left in many Russian army groups.

At the headquarters of the Russian Army's Western Front, a military meeting is being held. However, except for the political commissar Formineh and other political workers who still showed confidence and fighting spirit, the other military chiefs were almost completely desperate. Even General Timoshenko, the commander of the front army, knew that this time there might be more than good luck.

"Comrades, the Germans and their entourages are attacking more and more fiercely, and our casualties are increasing. Now, what should we do?" General Timoshenko said.

"Comrade Commander, although our casualties were great. But I believe that we also caused great casualties to the Germans and their servants. Therefore, as long as we persevere, victory must belong to us!" Admiral Forminekh's expression was full of confidence, as if the current defeat was only temporary, and they would soon be able to win.

"Yes, although we have lost more than 100,000 troops. But the losses we caused to the Germans and those servants are undoubtedly greater than this. Therefore, if we continue to fight like this, we will not suffer." Another political worker also said.

All of a sudden, those political workers expressed their opinions one after another, looking very optimistic about the current war situation, as if the Russian army would not only fail, but would soon win.

The commanders of the group army all had very ugly faces. Do these guys really understand the situation of the war? They just chanted a few slogans of loyalty to Joseph, and they were promoted to high positions. They supervised the military chiefs like them, so that they could only stick to their positions.

Now, these guys' judgments about the situation are even more wrong if they can't keep up. However, there is no way. Anyway, no matter what, they seem to have only one final result, and that is to be wiped out by the German army and its allies.

"Even if our soldiers can exchange two Poles or Belarusians for one, so what? The German army and their servants who attacked Smolensk were as high as more than 800,000. And, in Smolensk There are more than one million German troops and their servants on the outskirts of Sk, how can we fight against them?" Major General Korobkov, commander of the Russian 4th Army, said dissatisfiedly.

Immediately, Forminekh and a group of political workers had a bad look on their faces. This is the first time for those military chiefs to refute them! In their view, this is undoubtedly a provocation to them.

"Comrade Korobkov, are you questioning our judgment and Comrade Joseph's wise leadership? Defend Smolensk to the last, and fight to the last. This is Comrade Joseph's order. If you dare to disobey Comrade Joseph's order, this is treason, treason to the party and the country!" Admiral Fominekh put on a hat as soon as he came up, and put several big hats on Major General Korobkov. You know, if these charges are proven, Major General Korobkov will not only lose his position, but even face trial.

Major General Korobkov was also a little flustered. He was a person who had experienced the Great Purge, and he knew that these guys could do anything under the guise of being loyal to Comrade Joseph. Over the years, many generals have been killed by them.

"Okay, at this juncture, the Germans are attacking fiercely. If we still want to fight among ourselves, we simply don't need to do anything, just wait for the Germans to come and wipe us out!" General Timoshenko said dissatisfied.

If those political workers are allowed to mess around again, it will even damage the combat effectiveness of the troops. At that time, they will lose faster.

Upon hearing this, Forminekh looked at General Timoshenko, but finally said nothing. General Timoshenko is not an ordinary person. He has a deep influence in the Russian army, and these political workers do not want to take action against him.

"Comrades, although our casualties are heavy. However, since Comrade Joseph asked us to stick to Smolensk, we must complete the tasks assigned by Comrade Joseph. We need to drag the Germans here to fight for the rear Gather the troops to buy more time. The Germans this time obviously intend to destroy us completely. Even if we all die here, we will definitely not allow the Germans to succeed in their plot!" General Timoshenko said .

"Yes, Comrade Commander!" Everyone answered loudly.

Only General Timoshenko knew that what he said was nothing more than empty words. This does nothing to solve the current crisis. As the German offensive became more and more fierce, General Timoshenko knew that the remnants of their garrison in Smolensk might not last long. Perhaps soon, they will be wiped out.

Although, I was very unwilling in my heart, and didn't want to die like this. But General Timoshenko had no other choice. With Joseph clearly abandoning them, their fate is undoubtedly doomed.

It's just that Timoshenko was very unwilling. He is only forty-four years old, and now he has the rank of general, and he is only one step away from marshal. At his age, he is undoubtedly considered to be in the prime of life. It would undoubtedly be unacceptable for him to die like this. However, now that he is in such a desperate situation, can he have other ways?
