In the 26th year of the Republic of China, I come from the future Chapter five hundred and seventy-three the war between the Soviet Union and Germany (below)
Chapter five hundred and seventy-three the war between the Soviet Union and Germany (below)
Zhukov said anxiously, Comrade Stalin, "I'm not kidding. We think this news is extremely possible." 23us.
Fastest update
Stalin laughed loudly and said, I think that noncommissioned officer is probably a spy for the British or some other force. Now the whole world hopes that we will go to war with Germany... Well, it may also be a test by Germany. It suddenly occurred to me that Germany would be desperate to land in the UK.
I'm worried about our attitude here, well, it's very possible, okay, it's very late, let's leave it at that for today.
Zhukov wanted to say something more, but Stalin hung up the phone. Zhukov looked at the phone blankly, and then looked at the German noncommissioned officer who was rushed by the plane and looked at him timidly. He waved his hand and said, "Pull him down, torture him, do it."
Know whether he is telling the truth or lies.
When the German sergeant saw someone coming to arrest him, he quickly said loudly that what I said is true, we are really going to attack, really.
Zhukov rubbed his head in annoyance, thought for a moment and then ordered the border troops to strengthen their vigilance.
Three o'clock in the morning on Saturday, May 2, 1942
Since it was Saturday and Labor Day was over, the entire Soviet Union was in a state of rest. The relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany had been very good in the past two years, resulting in a lot of quiet on the border.
Suddenly, more than a dozen mortar shells were fired from the Soviet territory and landed on the empty German territory. Listening to the vague explosion in the distance, the Soviet sentries on the border did not know what to do. The explosion
It happened in Germany, do I need to report it myself?
The German government did not have the hesitation of the Soviet sentry. At 3:10, Germany immediately activated its internal radio station, announcing that the Soviet Union was provoking Germany and killing twelve officers and soldiers on the border, including a visiting Polish brigadier general. Germany was preparing
A comprehensive counterattack.
At 3:30 in the morning, the Axis forces were divided into three groups. Army Group Northern, commanded by Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Loeb, set out from East Prussia under the cover of more than 1,000 aircraft. The total strength was 34 divisions, led by Fedor.
Army Group Center, commanded by Marshal Ervon Bock, set out from the east of Warsaw, with a total strength of 61 divisions. Army Group South, commanded by Marshal Rundstedt, rushed towards the densely populated agricultural heartland of Ukraine, with a total strength of 69 divisions.
The three armies advanced rapidly according to the plan, and more than 15 Romanian divisions, 5 Hungarian divisions, 3 Italian divisions, 6 French divisions, 6 Polish divisions, 3 Czech divisions, and 2 Slovak divisions joined the battle. Another 16 divisions joined the battle.
Three Finnish divisions and five Norwegian divisions started their offensive separately from the Finnish-Soviet border in the north. The total input of troops was 230 divisions, plus the special forces of the Military Labor Organization directly under the army groups that followed the army, the total number of troops exceeded six million, of which
The German army numbered close to three million.
More than 3,500 aircraft were deployed on the battlefield in the first wave of offensive, and the steel torrent formed by more than 5,000 tanks and 50,000 artillery pieces on land swept unstoppably across everything they encountered.
In fact, the Soviet army at this time was not weak at all. It had more than 6 million troops, more than 10 million reserves, more than 25,000 tanks, of which 15,000 were on the Soviet-German front line, and more than 130,000 artillery pieces.
There were more than 20,000 aircraft in the country, but these advantages on paper were of no advantage under the close cooperation of the German army.
On the first day of the raid, more than 1,500 aircraft were destroyed by the Germans at the airport, and countless tanks and artillery were destroyed by the German Stukas in the military camp before they even left the base.
.
Moscow at 3:20 in the morning
Stalin held the phone and listened to the report of Chief of General Staff Zhukov. He thought for a while and said, are you really sure that the German army is launching a full-scale offensive?
Zhukov almost wanted to vomit blood. There were as many German planes in the sky as wasps. If this wasn't an all-out attack, he didn't know what a real all-out attack would be like.
He said anxiously, Comrade Stalin, I can assure you as a Red Army soldier that the German army is really launching an all-out attack.
Stalin still hesitated and said, "I think this incident should be a test by the German army against us, and ordered the frontline troops not to fight back. I will contact the German government first to see their reaction."
Zhukov was dumbfounded after hearing this order. He slammed the phone and sat down angrily. The officer next to him anxiously asked the commander, "How is it?"
Zhukov said helplessly and ordered all ministries to guard the military camp. If there is no order, there is no need to attack.
What is this...isn't this waiting to die? Everyone said in a panic.
Zhukov scratched his head and said in great pain: Our people are lying in a pool of blood, but we can't fight back... Comrade Stalin, you... ugh
When other people heard Zhukov say such words, they couldn't help but look at each other. Several staff members wanted to say something, but they opened their mouths and were speechless. They on the front line knew best the pain caused by this order.
Stalin on the other side waited until 4:30 in the morning, and finally waited until Molotov came back. He immediately asked excitedly how Hitler was not answering my calls, what did their ambassador say?
Molotov said to Stalin with an indignant look. They said that we opened fire on them first and they had already declared war on us. As he said that, he held up a document bag and said: This is Germany’s declaration of war on us. I went there.
At that time, he was preparing to come to our place. Germany was so shameless.
Stalin took the pipe and took a step back. His face no longer had the usual calmness and calmness, but was full of fear. His hands kept shaking, and he bit the pipe several times without biting the pipe.
Comrade Stalin Comrade Stalin
There was a noise outside, and Stalin looked over, but a group of Politburo members came in. Andreev quickly stepped forward and said, Comrade Stalin, the German army has launched an attack on us, what should we do?
Kalinin followed up and said, that's right, Comrade Stalin, if Germany has declared war on us, we should also declare war on them. In addition, how should we explain to comrades across the country the German army's surprise attack on us? We have been promoting to them that Germany is
Our friend's
Stalin listened anxiously to what these people said. His hands were still shaking. He looked at everyone in a panic and said in a daze that the war had broken out and its development would be catastrophic. Comrade Lenin left us with
It is a proletarian Soviet country, but we are here. He looked at everyone with some fear and said, "I am resigning from the leadership position."
After Stalin finished speaking, he quickly walked out, quickly grabbed his personal bodyguard and left. When everyone reacted, Stalin actually rushed back to his villa in his own car, closed the door tightly, and unexpectedly
Want to come out.
Everyone in the Soviet Politburo saw that this was not the case, so they had no choice but to run to Stalin's villa to find him. Stalin heard that everyone in the Politburo and Beria had arrived, and asked with a pale face what they were here for. Why did Beria come?
Do you want to capture me?
His guards lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. The closed door was slammed open, and Beria walked in quickly with everyone from the Politburo.
Stalin jumped up with a whoosh, took two steps back, held his pipe tightly in his hand and said, are you here to arrest me?
Beria was confused by Stalin's words. Others in the Politburo also looked at each other, wondering what Stalin was doing. Andreev said, Comrade Stalin, the Soviet Union needs you now and needs you to preside over the work. For Germany,
To fight against the Soviet Union, there must be a backbone, and that person is you.
After hearing these words, Stalin calmed down. He took a drag on his pipe and slowly curved the corners of his mouth. The worst thing had not happened. All he had to do now was to find a way to defeat Germany.
Stalin's name means steel. He was originally a very tough person. His initial panic was just that he was worried that the Politburo would remove him on the grounds of war between the Soviet Union and Germany. After all, the Soviet Union was still a Soviet country. If
Everyone in the Politburo will have to deal with him, and he will have no power to fight back. No one knows how much of his initial avoidance was out of sincerity and how much was out of testing everyone in the Politburo.
Stalin blew out a smoke ring and said, comrades, the war has begun. There is only one thing we should do now, and that is to win the war. Germany has declared war on us, and we must also respond, Molotov, Molotov
come here.
Molotov came over, and Stalin slowly said that at 12 noon today, he would issue a national broadcast, announcing to the whole country that Germany would launch a full-scale attack on us, saying that the Red Army would defend the Soviet Union until the last moment, and that we would express our support for it in the broadcast.
confidence in victory
Molotov nodded to express his understanding.
Stalin also said that the east of the Soviet Union is Japan. We must beware of Japan's attitude. If Japan attacks from the Far East, we will be in danger. Beria, you must understand Japan's true plan and you must not make this mistake again.
Beria took a breath. He didn't expect Stalin to blame the intelligence failure on his head. He opened his mouth and finally said "Comrade Stalin"
Stalin went on to say that he immediately ordered all frontline departments to use any means to attack the axis.
People's Commissar of Defense Voroshilov nodded to express his understanding.
Stalin also said that the moral army is very powerful, we must have friends, and Britain is our natural ally. Now the German fascists have become the biggest enemies of the Red Cabinet. The Red International issued the following order to the Red Parties around the world: The British Red Parties must no longer
Criticize and attack Churchill's relevant policies and instead cooperate with Churchill; the French Red Party should organize guerrillas to launch resistance to Vichy France and German fascism, and can fully cooperate with the de Gaulle faction; the Chinese Red Party should launch an attack on the Japanese army
attack, contain the Japanese army, prevent the Japanese army in North China from entering Manchuria, strengthen the Kwantung Army, and then attack the Soviet Union from Siberia. Order the Red Parties in other countries to comprehensively fight against the Axis Powers, and use propaganda and riots as means to defend the country in their own way.
Soviet Union
Since Dimitrov was not a member of the Soviet Politburo, he was not here. Instead, a special person took down Stalin's order and prepared to relay it to him.
Stalin turned around a few times and finally said, moving the embassies of various countries in the Soviet Union to Tashan to prevent their staff from staying in Moscow and engaging in espionage activities, and announcing a national war mobilization order. I know the strength of the German army, and we must use it.
We use all our strength to prepare for this war. Comrades, the Soviet Union has reached its most dangerous moment, but this is not the first time. The road to Ming Dynasty has been extremely tortuous. In the past, Napoleon was arrogant and eventually hated Moscow. I don’t think so.
Hitler today will be more powerful than Napoleon of yesteryear
Stalin's actions were not slow at all. At 12 noon, the Soviet Union officially declared war on Germany, but interestingly, there was no declaration of war between the Soviet Union and Japan. While the border war was going on, many riots occurred within the Soviet Union at the same time.
, among which the riots in Lithuania were the most serious, with more than 30,000 people joining the riots. In just one day, Lithuania announced its separation from the Soviet Union and became the first area to fall to Soviet influence.
The news of the war between the Soviet Union and Germany spread throughout the world at the speed of light. Even some people who had been psychologically prepared were shocked by the news and could not calm down for a long time. No one knew what the national strength of the Soviet Union was, but the German army still had no iron cavalry.
The country can resist. Even France, which is known as the number one in the army, did not last for three months. How long can the Soviet Union resist? Or, this will be a turning point in Germany's expansion.
After receiving the news, Churchill in the UK finally slept peacefully. After all, no matter how crazy Hitler was, he could not launch a full-scale attack on both the east and west at the same time. The British royal family had secretly transferred several core members to India, Australia and Canada, and even himself
He had been contemplating whether to leave for a few days, but now it seemed that Britain would not fall. As for the issue of Gibraltar Fortress, he already felt a little resigned to his fate.
Roosevelt in the United States did not speak for a long time when he received the news. This was what he had been looking forward to, but he did not have much confidence in the national power of the Soviet Union. If anyone in the world knows the national power of the Soviet Union best, it is the United States.
During those days when the United States and the Soviet Union were intimate, in addition to a large number of talents and machinery, many spies were imported into the Soviet Union. Of course, most of the spies were purged through various movements, but there were still some who survived.
From time to time, they reported some news about the Soviet Union to the United States. Based on this news, Roosevelt came to the conclusion that if the Soviet Union relied only on itself, it would be a miserable victory at best, or the worst kind, and the possibility of failure was actually greater.
Roosevelt turned around and said to Hull. I suddenly remembered Mao from Yan'an, China. He once said that all forces that can be united should be united. I think the Soviet Union is now also a member of this force.
