Do the Romanians want to rebel? Is this the overall attitude of the prisoners of war, or is it Brimayo's personal opinion?
Yang Mingzhi is very happy to see Romanians sincerely stand on the anti-fascist position. He personally is very willing that these are true, but it takes convincing people such as Salinchkin, Fomin and Evlov, as well as tens of thousands of people, to
It is really difficult to believe these Romanians who have a lot of hatred against the invaders.
Brimayu left with a smile and continued his wound inspection today.
Yang Mingzhi asked the guards still in the ward: "You all just heard that this Romanian wants to be your comrade. Do you believe it?"
"Bah! Sir, haven't you heard the story about the farmer and the snake?" Abram said angrily.
"I know! You're reminding me that we can't be this farmer, Romanians can be snakes too!"
"It's not just that! Sir, I think you also made a dangerous mistake in the conversation just now!"
"Wrong? Tell me."
Abram quickly put on a frown: "Sir! You should never reveal the fact that the doctor who saved that man's life is your wife! Maybe this Romanian officer will not make a mistake, but others
What? Prisoners of war have assassinated you before, is there really no next time? If they know the details about Dr. Besica, won’t they attack her? After all, she is only eighteen years old!"
After all, he was a considerate guard. After hearing his words, Yang Mingzhi felt as if a thunderbolt had hit his heavenly soul. He stood up with a slap on his thigh and slapped himself in the face: "Oh! Why am I so stupid!"
"Sir! Don't blame yourself. It has happened. For the safety of Dr. Besica, I think we should..." Abram made a motion of cutting his throat.
"What? Kill people and silence them? No, no, no!"
"But!"
"Forget it! Forget it! Bessika is not a weak girl!"
"Sir! She has no weapons! Do you expect her to use a surgical lancet to fight back against the attacker?!"
"So it's up to you guards! Maybe I should keep some people as her guards full-time."
From Abram, Yang Mingzhi finally understood that the soldiers at the grassroots level were wary of prisoners of war. This was right. Many soldiers were originally very dissatisfied with the army's policy of "preferential treatment of prisoners". If there was no discipline to suppress them,
Private prisoner abuse incidents must have occurred frequently. And this time, making prisoners of war dig in the rain and cut trees, isn't it also a disguised form of prisoner abuse?
Maybe I am too fond of the Romanians? Yang Mingzhi asked himself, although the Romanians will definitely rebel as a nation in the future, it is purely a beautiful imagination to make the majority of soldiers believe this.
But Brimayo’s words cannot but be thought deeply about. It is feasible to reorganize the Romanian prisoners of war and select those who are physically strong and mentally reliable to form a small unit to serve as “cannon fodder”! After all, Vlasov’s
Although many Romanians could defect to the Axis powers, it is not surprising that a small group of Romanians took the initiative to stand on the Allied side.
After all, the commotion caused by Brimayu was just an episode, and Yang Mingzhi's mind was still on the radar. When the guards were sitting at the door with their guns loaded, Liguschkov, who was avoiding the situation, came to the ward again...
Yang Mingzhi did not leave the hospital until the morning of June 11. His body has fully recovered and his weight has increased significantly. The most intuitive manifestation is that his square face has become much rounder, and his belly has accumulated some fat.
Only his wife knows best.
During the period of his training, on the battlefield of Kharkov, 500 kilometers away, the collapse of the Soviet army was finally contained.
The Kharkov offensive finally came to an end on June 10!
By June 10, the front line had been basically stable. When the German army began to counterattack frantically, it finally encountered a difficult situation in Severodonesk. Kostenko, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front, personally took charge of the city and mobilized everything
Mobilizable force.
The German army tried to capture the city quickly. They organized three attacks, each of which was successfully resisted by the Soviet army. For this, the Soviet army paid a huge price in casualties. Especially those who had almost no armed training and were mobilized in an emergency
There were 90,000 so-called mobilization troops composed of citizens. As a result, in the week-long "Battle for the Defense of Severodonesk," there were as many as 40,000 casualties!
They used their flesh and blood to withstand the German armored troops and dragged the German infantry into positional battles.
Mobilizing soldiers and regular troops, the Soviet casualties largely came from German air strikes. German fighter planes seemed to be afraid of bombings. Severodonesk, which had served as a strategic assembly area and logistics support center, had 60% of the city destroyed, and a large number of people were not evacuated.
The peaceful residents who were walking were killed in the air strikes. Even Kostenko was injured in the arm in the air strikes.
Even so, the deputy commander-in-chief still insisted on staying here, commanding the 38th, 9th, 21st and 28th Group Armies, holding on to the existing defense lines and dragging the enemy into a war of attrition!
Undoubtedly, the Soviet army's strategic intention seemed to be achieved. The German army did not launch a full-scale attack again, and the battle came to an end.
The final result of the battle was also reported to the world by Tass News Agency, so Yang Mingzhi knew the result clearly.
In his impression, this battle was another disastrous defeat for the Soviet army, with more than 300,000 casualties. If the injured were included, the overall Soviet attrition reached 400,000.
In this dimension, the Soviet army performed slightly better.
In this battle, the Soviet army killed 105,000 people (including the mobilization troops guarding Severodonesk) and captured 180,000 people. When the Soviet army showed signs of failure, it launched a large-scale retreat, which indeed preserved the strength of the Soviet army.
, also allows them to stabilize the current front.
Now Severodonesk has become a salient, and the Soviet army has once again lost control of Belgorod. The overall display has moved an average of 100 kilometers eastward. The battle finally ended like this, and it also made people as far away as Moscow
Stalin's mood would not be too bad.
This was a defeat that the Soviet army could accept. The Soviet Union had strong manpower, and on the battlefield, the Soviet army was also willing to die. Although the overall loss of regular troops was nearly 300,000, the main forces of the Southwest Front Army and the Southern Front Army were still preserved!
The T3476 is being mass-produced, and the new La-5 fighter jet has also been successfully developed. The Soviet military's military strength has grown rapidly during the war, and a large number of new equipment are being continuously delivered to the troops.
What the Soviet army needs most now is time to delay the German attack. In this way, when the new equipment is fully equipped with the troops, it will bring about a qualitative change in the Soviet army's combat effectiveness!
The current front has returned to the state during the winter offensive, which means that the Soviet counterattack in the south for half a year was wasted in this failed battle. Fortunately, the war situation has not deteriorated further, and Stalin and the Supreme Command officially recognized it.
He accepted Timoshenko’s correct request more than ten days ago and urged him to stabilize the existing front line.
It is said that this is a failed battle with completely bearable losses. The Soviet Union can afford to lose such a defeat. A large number of new troops are actively being formed, and tens of millions of Soviet men are heading to the front line!
So in Stalin's phone call to Timoshenko who was already in Lugansk, he said: "You have to hold on to the current defense line. A large number of new troops formed in southern Russia will soon join the Southwest Front's battle order. When our army's strength recovers,
, launch the winter counterattack in a few months!”
Until now, the Soviet Army Headquarters has always believed that when it started snowing that day, winter would become the Soviet Army's new friendly force. From top to bottom, Soviet officers and soldiers looked back on history and found that no foreign enemy that invaded Russia had ever defeated Russia's General Winter!
As a result, the officers and soldiers had a little more thought of victory, provided they could hold on for the next three months!
Is this feasible?
Timoshenko had a keen insight that the so-called stabilization of the war situation was only a very short inter-war period. The reason why the German army stopped attacking was because they had logistical problems. On the other hand, the German army also carried out a high-level offensive for three weeks.
The intensity of the fighting has reached the limit of manpower and material resources. What's more, the German army has to actively consume the results of victory.
The German army will finally rest, and then they will definitely continue to attack!
When German tanks and aircraft embark on the journey again, can the Soviet army hold on to this line of defense?
In this regard, Timoshenko has only one attitude - pessimism! The Southwest Front Army Headquarters will still retreat!
