At this time, Vlasov had received the news that the Soviet army had occupied most of the city of Smolensk. Vlasov was shocked. There was no intelligence showing that the main force of the Soviet army was moving towards Smolensk. What was the fate of this Soviet army?
Where did it come from?
But no matter where this Soviet force came from, it was obvious that their next goal was to deal with their own troops.
Vlasov felt a little guilty. He had no clear information about how many people there were in the Soviet army. Secondly, his troops were all pieced together. The real combat effectiveness has not yet been tested in actual combat.
, I really don’t know what will happen in the fight.
Maybe, many troops will defect because of this. If he just leaves, the Germans will not let him go, but if he doesn't leave, they are afraid of losing their lives. Vlasov is in a dilemma.
Vlasov immediately decided to ask for help from Von Kruger, the commander of the German Army Group Center in Moscow. At the same time, he knew that the morale of his troops was not high. If he relied on fortifications, he could still fight. If it was a field battle, that would be
Defeat was inevitable, so Vlasov issued an order to defend to the death.
Vlasov calculated that he had 50,000 men under his command. If he relied on the fortifications to fight, he could withstand it for a day or two. When the German reinforcements arrived, he would be able to survive the crisis.
Thinking of this, Vlasov immediately ordered everyone to enter the fortifications to prevent Soviet attacks...
This is a fortress built of cement, left over from the original Soviet army. Due to the cold weather in the Soviet Union, the buildings were built very thickly to keep warm. In addition, it is a cement building, so this fortress has survived several wars.
Now surrounded by the Russian People's Liberation Army, Nikita and Igor are holding on to this fortification.
In the distance, the sound of killings was loud, and the sound of gunfire came one after another. Seeing that Nikita was a little nervous, Igor said: "Nikita, what's wrong with you? I have never seen you so nervous."
Nikita said: "When I think about having to deal with my compatriots and former comrades-in-arms, I can't bring myself to do it. It's very uncomfortable."
Igor glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered to Nikita: "Nikita, if you really don't want to fight, let's find an opportunity to escape."
Nikita said: "With Peter, a hard-core traitor, there is no way we can escape."
Igor said: "The situation outside now, the Soviet army should have the advantage, and we no longer have to be afraid of Peter. If it doesn't work, we will kill him."
"Good idea." There was a chill in Nikita's eyes.
"You two lazy guys, the Soviet army is about to come up, and you are still chatting here!"
Peter came over and kicked Nikita.
But Nikita grabbed Peter's feet fiercely and pulled Peter to the ground. The next moment, Igor pulled out the bayonet from his waist and penetrated Peter's throat with a bayonet. Only blood was seen in Peter's throat.
Gugu pours out.
After killing Peter, the dozen or so soldiers in the bunker were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.
Igor said: "Comrades, we are Soviets and cannot sacrifice our lives for the Germans. Now that the Red Army is calling, we should go and join the Red Army!"
"If we are caught, Vlasov will kill us," one soldier said.
"Do you really want to be a dog to the Germans? Do you really want your relatives to be unable to hold their heads high?" Nikita said.
"Igor, we listen to you." Several soldiers said one after another.
Igor said: "Contact the people nearby immediately and let's do it together!"
Subsequently, Igor and Nikita began to contact the troops in various bunkers. In fact, there are still a few die-hard Soviet traitors like Peter in the Russian Liberation Army. Most soldiers had no choice but to join the Russian Liberation Army from prisoner-of-war camps in order to survive.
Now there is a series of connections, and a group of people immediately responded...
Molov led his troops to prepare to attack the fortifications ahead. Seeing such a strong fortification on the opposite side, Molov was scratching his head. If such a large fortification was attacked head-on, the losses would be great, but he did not attack the bunker.
What's the point of having a necessary flat-firing cannon?
However, at this moment, white flags were hung out from all the bunkers. At first, Morov couldn't believe his eyes. After rubbing his eyes, he finally believed that these Russian Liberation Army surrendered!
"Could it be a fake surrender?" said an officer next to him.
Molov said: "Wait a minute, let's see what happens first."
After a while, many soldiers were seen walking out of the bunker with their hands raised high.
When Moloff saw it, he knew there was no lie, and immediately ordered the soldiers to move forward and accept the bunker.
"Igor!"
Among these Soviet puppet troops, Morov saw his old subordinate Igor at a glance.
"Molov, it's me, I'm Igor!" Igor shouted excitedly.
It turned out that Igor and Molov were both comrades in the same battalion. Molov was Igor's superior, but the two had a good personal relationship. Later, during the Smolensk breakout battle, Igor was ordered to cut off the rear.
After being captured, Morov successfully escaped. Unexpectedly, the two old comrades met again here.
At that moment, Igor and Molov hugged each other and cried, and Molov said: "Igor, I thought you were dead, why are you here?"
Igor told the story of how he entered a prisoner of war camp, then entered the Russian Liberation Army, and finally led others to fight.
Molov said: "Igor, you helped a lot this time. If it weren't for you, we would have suffered a lot."
Igor said: "Molov, I am willing to atone for my sins and help you instigate more officers and soldiers of the Russian People's Liberation Army."
Molov was overjoyed and said: "Igor, tell those puppet soldiers that as long as they behave anyway, I guarantee that they will be fine, and the Soviet government will not pursue their faults, nor will their families be harmed."
"Are you telling the truth?" Igor said excitedly.
"Of course, Comrade Xu Rui had already explained it to me when I came, and I was just repeating what he said."
"Comrade Xu Rui? We have heard of his name. Some time ago, he scared the German troops in Moscow. He is a hero of our Soviet people. If there is Comrade Xu Rui's guarantee, Molov, then I will
There’s nothing to worry about anymore!”
Igor quickly called Nikita, and the two returned to the puppet army camp to do their work.
Due to the surrender of the puppet troops in the bunker group, thousands of puppet troops rebelled. After Xu Rui heard about it, he immediately dispersed the thousands of puppet troops and added them to other units. In this way, the strength of Xu Rui's troops increased.
At the same time, it also opens up the way for the troops to advance.
Vlasov was shocked when he heard that the outer positions had been lost and the Soviet troops were marching in. Vlasov now finally understood how vulnerable his troops were in combat and how weak the soldiers' fighting will was. Vlasov
I keenly feel that if the situation continues like this, my Russian People's Liberation Army will inevitably collapse.
Vlasov knew that now he could only use his last trump card.
Thinking of this, Vlasov immediately called Plushenko, the captain of his guard.
Plushenko is Vlasov's old subordinate, and he was captured together with Vlasov. Vlasov trusted Plushenko very much, so he specially selected some hardcore anti-Soviet elements to form his own guard.
, led by Plushenko.
The entire Guard consists of 3,000 people, all equipped with German-made weapons. They are all composed of anti-Soviet Lithuanians, Latvians and White Russians who fled abroad during the civil war. They are very hostile to the Soviet Union and have strong combat effectiveness and loyalty.
It is also relatively high.
At that moment, Plushenko came to Vlasov's office. Vlasov explained the current situation to Plushenko, and then said: "The Red Army's offensive is very fierce. It has broken through the forward position of our army and attacked the frontline."
To attack in depth, your troops must stop the Soviet Red Army from advancing. Even if they are all exhausted, they must not be allowed to approach the headquarters."
"Yes!" Plushenko replied firmly.
Plushenko was worthy of being a strong soldier, and he immediately went out with three thousand guardsmen to attack the Red Army's attack.
At this time, the frontline troops of the Russian People's Liberation Army continued to mutiny due to the propaganda of Igor and Nikita. After these people heard that as long as they did anything, the government would not pursue them, many of them surrendered without firing a shot.
Some actually turned against the enemy and helped the Red Army fight against their own people. As a result, the Red Army's progress was greatly accelerated, and it continued to advance towards the core area where Vlasov was located.
And here, they encountered a tough opponent. The guards led by Plushenko blocked their way forward, and a bloody battle was inevitable.
Igor and Nikita have returned to Molov. Igor said to Molov: "The one standing in front of us is Vlasov's guard. This army has about three thousand people.
They are all extremely hostile to the Soviet government and the Red Army, equipped with new weapons issued by Germany, and have strong combat effectiveness."
The situation introduced by Igor attracted Morov's attention. Kosygin was about to report to Xu Rui. Yegor said at the side: "I don't believe how much fighting power a group of traitors can have. This group of puppet soldiers is fighting
Give us a group."
At this time, Yegor's regiment had just added some veterans, and its combat effectiveness had increased dramatically, so he was full of confidence.
Molov said: "Egor, if you are so confident, you can try it."
Igor said: "You must not underestimate the enemy. Vlasov's guards are very powerful. Although they are not as good as the German regular army, they are much stronger than the ordinary servant army."
Yegor turned a deaf ear and said: "Aren't they just a group of puppet soldiers? What's so great about it? Just look at me!"
Yegor immediately summoned his troops and launched an attack on Vlasov's guards with full confidence...
