Up to now, Stalin knew that the menacing Germans had made preparations for a long time. Therefore, this war will be a difficult war. The Soviets will even have some unacceptable situations in the early stages of the war. But Stalin believed that the victory ultimately belonged to the Soviets.
There is no other reason, because in history, even in the Tsarist era, polar bears can be defeated, but they will never be conquered. How could Germany do what Napoleon failed to do?
He didn't know that Britain, which had never been perished in history, was now destroyed by Germany. Although Britain still exists, it is already a servant country of Germany.
Stalin still gave a charismatic speech that the country should fully transition to the wartime system, and all the country's power should be transferred to the production of weapons. The country should implement a rationing system. In the future, the people's life may be difficult.
At the same time, he also called on the people to actively donate money and materials to support the just war in the Soviets. Stalin believed that the Soviets would not be conquered.
Coming out of the broadcasting room, Stalin stepped into his headquarters again, and he felt a little depressed.
"Comrade Stalin, it's great for you to come back." Timosingo, chairman of the headquarters of the command headquarters, greeted Stalin: "We have just received a report from the Western Special Military Region. The situation there is not very good."
On a large-scale map, the blue arrows indicate the direction of the German offensive. Although the frontline is still in chaos, it is not easy to carry out the number detection work of some troops, but the general direction of the German army’s offensive When it came out, a terrible situation had already appeared.
"In other words, the Germans are now divided into two directions, heading for our Minsk. Once the Germans occupy Minsk, the encirclement will be formed. In this way, we are in these three areas of the Bialystok salient. The group army is in danger of falling into the encirclement of the Germans." Timoshenko continued to explain.
This is also Marshal Shaboshnikov's worry, and his worry has become the consensus of everyone present.
"In this case, we can't let our army continue to take risks." When Stalin looked at Zhukov, Zhukov said: "We must withdraw these troops on the protrusion to prevent the Germans. Surrounded by people, the Germans have used this tactic more than once on the European battlefield."
Zhukov is also deeply worried. He clearly knows the strength of Germany's mechanized forces.
Stalin took the cigarette pot and inhaled mouthfuls. He continued to stare at the map for half an hour before he finally said: "The guards of the Białystok bulge quickly withdrew to the original fortification area. No. 3. The Tenth Army withdrew to Lida, Slonim, and Pinsk."
After finishing speaking, Stalin put his smoking pot on the table and knocked it. The soot in it was exhausted: "What the **** Pavlov is thinking? If Minsk falls, the German army will It is easy to reach Smolensk and even Moscow. If hundreds of thousands of people from the Western Front are completely encircled by the Germans in a small Bialystok bulge, Minsk, the entire Soviet Union will lose its geographical and A barrier to military power."
Stalin had a strategic vision. He had seen through all of this: "It seems that our judgment is problematic. From this situation, the southern German army is not the main force of the offensive, but the central army is the The most powerful, we must set out to deploy a line of defense in Smolensk to prevent Belarus from falling."
Stalin already had a bad feeling.
The order given by Stalin himself quickly reached the headquarters of the Thirteenth Army. When he heard the order, it was as if a scoop of cold water was poured on his head, and Pavlov felt that his head was sober. .
"The north and south armies are coming towards our capital, Minsk." Pavlov said to Marshal Shaboshnikov: "Now, our Minsk is facing security threats, our Bialystow What the troops of the Kraken Protruding Department need to consider is not how to fight back, but how to avoid the immediate danger of annihilation."
Pavlov finally understood it, but Marshal Shaboshnikov’s face was very meaningful. As the commander-in-chief of the front army, it is really anxious to think about how to engage in these political tricks. .
What do you want to understand, did you not understand before? In the past, I just didn't dare to retreat. Now, after Comrade Stalin's order to retreat, Pavlov dared to withdraw the troops. Now I only hope that it is too late.
"Now, immediately give my order to withdraw the Fourth, Third, and Tenth Army of the Białystok Bulge, and stick to Minsk. We must protect our capital." Pavlov said and began to write Own orders~www.novelhall.com~Commanders of the 13th, 10th, 3rd and 4th Army:
Today, on the night of April 3, no later than 21 o'clock in the retreat, all ministries should be prepared to use tanks as their forward guards and cavalry and powerful anti-tank defense forces as their guards.
...
This march should be under the cover of a strong defender, making rapid progress day and night. Throw off the enemy on the vast front
...
Should jump more than 60 kilometers in one fell swoop in one day and night
...
Allow troops to make full use of local tools and recruit any number of horse-drawn carts
...
Seeing Pavlov writing the order, Marshal Shaboshnikov on the side was very impulsive to put his head on the table and beat him up. Now, the military situation is very urgent. How do you plan to convey such a mother-in-law's order?
If you let the telegraph soldiers send it out, it would definitely be a nightmare for the telegraph soldiers. If you let the soldiers do it, you may not be able to go to the headquarters of each mechanized army tonight. This is a waste of time and sacrifices the lives of soldiers. !
He finally suppressed his impulse, and Pavlov’s order was finally written. It can be said that the order is generally good, with clear thinking, clearly organized, and decisive, but it is full of political color, making people look Anxious.
If it weren’t for this kind of procrastination, if Marshal Shaboshnikov took over command as soon as he came up, and then ordered a retreat immediately, then the group armies of the Western Special Military Region would not be surrounded by the Germans and then be surrounded by the Germans. Annihilated.
But now, due to the continuous delay of time, the retreat of the Soviet army is destined to be a terrible breakout battle. Moreover, after giving this order, Pavlov has completely lost all of the Białystok ministries. command……()
