It is not difficult to find Salinchkin. This person's initial mission in the swamp was to connect with Yang Mingzhi and act as his close comrade-in-arms, even close enough to conduct surveillance.
In the past few days, Salinchkin has communicated with Moscow many times through special bands and through the signal-amplified broadcasting stations under his control.
In fact, his mood was as bad as the weather these days.
First of all, what made Salinchkin most uncomfortable was the failure of the Kharkov Offensive Battle. The failure of the battle had been determined by Moscow, and the TASS News Agency also released Stalin's speech to the world.
As the current de facto leader of the Soviet Union, Stalin's image is somewhat of a tyrant, but this time, he actually criticized himself humbly. The so-called overly idealistic view of the war situation was due to his willful refusal to listen to the military opinions of the generals and marshals, and based on his own
Based on his own opinion, he ordered the execution of this battle.
This was hard not to shock Salinchkin. The Tass news agency even announced the losses of the Soviet army to the world, as well as Stalin's request. It was said that if the United States, Britain and other countries did not vigorously support the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union might not be able to survive!
The current Stalin and the Military Council, the Supreme Soviet, have made an in-depth assessment of the current situation of the Soviet Union. The country's situation is precarious, and it is not impossible for Germany to defeat the Soviet Union! Of course, the current Southwest Front Army and the Southern Front Army are still struggling in the south.
It is not impossible for the German army to continue to attack and occupy the rich southern Russia in one fell swoop.
Before the start of this battle, the Soviet Union was still confident that it would severely inflict heavy losses on the elite German troops and liberate half of Ukraine. Now that it was deeply slapped in the face by the German army, the Soviet top brass had to consider the fact that this war would end
At what point, can the war end in a short time?
Therefore, the top leaders of the Soviet Union also began to have the idea that they could find a way to make peace with Germany, even if they ceded some land, which would at least stop the Soviet Union's "hemorrhage." It is not inconceivable that some people have this idea. When the Soviet Union was established, it would cede
I traveled half of Belarus and western Ukraine, thus gaining twenty years of cultivation. Since I succeeded once, is it possible to try again?
This idea seems to be an expedient measure under the current predicament, but most people do not agree with it, because the Soviet Union has been calling on the people to fight this year! If it makes peace with Germany without authorization, it will be tantamount to breaking up with Britain, the United States and other countries!
On June 3, at a meeting in the Kremlin, someone proposed this idea. The atmosphere of the meeting was very one-dimensional. Figures like Beria did not stand up to object in public! The venue fell into an eerie silence.
, because even Stalin had to think about whether this plan to try to make peace and preserve the strength of the Soviet Union was reasonable.
Stalin neither agreed nor objected. He was silent for a while and vaguely revealed to everyone: "We very much need assistance from the United States, and we must urge them to quickly launch strategic assistance. Perhaps, we can use peace with Germany to urge them to give us assistance.
!”
Salinchkin did not know about this situation, and there were only a dozen or so people who knew about the secret meeting of high-level Soviet officials.
Salinchkin received several important messages, including those approved by Stalin himself.
It turned out that the report on the rocket shelling of Chernigov was indeed missed by Stalin, who was all thinking about Kharkov. He only read the report on the guerrilla republic a few days later.
Stalin knew very well that Berekov was still in the Pripet Swamp. This man insisted not to retreat to the rear. He had indeed achieved many major victories in the swamp. If all the guerrillas behind the enemy lines, even only the 63rd Army
, one-tenth of the comprehensive combat power of the Guerrilla Republic, then the war situation is probably unknown. But he also knows that because the swamp is too far from the nearest Soviet army, material support is very difficult and dangerous.
They achieved many victories, especially at the end of May, when they did severely damage a Romanian infantry division that had defeated the Soviet army in Odessa.
This unit annihilated more than 7,000 German soldiers in January, which was finally confirmed to be true! Therefore, the report claimed to have annihilated more than 6,000 enemy puppets, and the Supreme Command initially believed it to be true.
But what happened to their so-called rocket artillery bombardment of Chernihiv? Is this possible? Bah! It’s an exaggeration!
This time Stalin asked the opinions of many generals of the Supreme Command, especially Zhukov, Voroshilov and Timoshenko. The Soviet army had long used Katyusha rocket launchers in actual combat. The performance of this rocket launcher made the generals
very clear.
The Guerrilla Republic's report claimed that it had manufactured rockets with a range of up to 41 kilometers. Everyone familiar with the matter immediately questioned whether the telegraph operator had accidentally omitted a decimal point when recording, that is, the range was only 4.1 kilometers. After all,
For this Belekov, because of his unique identity, it was difficult for these generals who had never even met him not to be suspicious.
Everyone knows that this person is a blessing to the Soviet Union, and his current actions are indeed helping the Soviet Union, but his message is too bizarre.
Therefore, Salinchkin received a message from Stalin. The leader verbally commended the 63rd Army for its heavy damage to the Romanians and successfully rescued the 17th Guerrilla Brigade, and promised new air support in the future. As for the rocket launcher, Stalin
He expressed his attitude by saying, "You must truly prove that your self-produced rocket launchers are operable."
This meaning is very obvious, and the senior management does not believe it!
Sarinchkin knew that if he told Berekov the truth about the matter, he would be causing trouble for him! Only those who actually fought in this swamp would know that all these reports were true! It was not just about the range.
A 40-kilometer rocket launcher. Soon, the 63rd Army will even be able to build a radar!
So when Salinchkin learned that Commander Belekov suddenly fell ill, he hurriedly changed his clothes and ran out of the dormitory. This iron-like old soldier, weapons inventor, and the best guerrilla commander, if he came out
If things go wrong, the prosperous situation of the guerrilla republic may be reversed.
Fortunately, his fever was discovered in time, and the hospital also kept some special anti-disease drugs. But he was sick, and this situation still made Salinchkin unable to sleep or eat well.
Furthermore, there are still a large number of wounded prisoners of war lying in the hospital. Will they pose a threat to the commander? Salinchkin and Yevlov together simply pulled up a row of stools outside the special care ward where Yang Mingzhi was lying.
The guards armed with submachine guns were led by Abram and were always on guard! Yang Mingzhi was completely unaware of this situation.
Finally, Salinchkin came in a hurry. It was said that Berekov came to see him for something urgent, and he was afraid that it was closely related to the radar incident. Therefore, this time Salinchkin also decisively pulled Yevlov, Fomin and others together.
Come here, these three people even appear in this special care area at the same time, visiting the commander who has regained consciousness...
