Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The German Air Force, which had been tested on the European battlefield and baptized by the air battle in Great Britain, was obviously at its peak combat effectiveness at this time. It was obviously extremely easy to deal with the Soviet army, which did not have any anti-aircraft weapons, its combat effectiveness was extremely low, and the remaining defeated Soviet army!

    The unobstructed snowfield has a very good view. The Soviet soldiers and various vehicles crawling on the ground like ants have become the best bombing targets for German pilots. "Boom! Boom! - Boom!"  Pounds of aerial bombs poured down mercilessly, blowing up clouds of snow and blowing the Soviet soldiers' flesh and blood into pieces. Their body fragments were mixed with the snow and scattered in all directions. Cars were hit by bullets and burst into flames, and thick smoke drifted away.  .

    Not to be outdone, the German fighter pilots flew their fighter jets so close to the ground that they aimed at the Soviet soldiers and vehicles and swept them wildly. On the snow, there were patches of bright red blood, and Soviet soldiers lay in pieces.  Even the car Stalin himself was riding in was hit by several machine gun bullets. If it weren't for the two loyal guards who made human shields, Stalin might not have been able to escape this disaster!

    Cars became the main target of attack by German pilots. As a result, the great Soviet leader, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Comrade Stalin, had to abandon his scarred car in the presence of a large group of senior Soviet party, government and military officials and  Under the protection of the guards, they joined the march on foot.

    The mixed fleet of the Luftwaffe's 3rd Air Force bombed the remnants of the retreating Soviet army for almost a whole day, with batches of German fighters and bombers.  Almost like a slap on the backside of a Soviet soldier, the corpses of Soviet soldiers lay on the vast snowfield west of the Ural Mountains.  Burning and burned-out cars, scattered documents and other items were everywhere.

    It was not until dusk and visibility decreased that Major General Kohler, chief of staff of the German Air Force¡¯s Third Air Force, who directed this large-scale air raid, reluctantly issued the order to return, within one day.  Major General Kohler himself had flown three sorties and could not pursue any further.  In the field of vision, the rolling snow-covered mountains of the Ural Mountains in the distance are an eye-catching geographical landmark!

    Before leading the team to take off, Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Garibaldi.  Tell yourself again and again.  To the east of the Ural Mountains, that is Chinese territory. The fleet of the Third Air Force will never be allowed to fly across this limit. Moreover, this is an order personally issued by the Head of State, and the commander's warning can allow it to be slightly exceeded.  No big deal, but an order from His Excellency the F¨¹hrer.  But no one dares to violate it!

    The German military planes finally disappeared in the bloody sunset sky. All the Soviet soldiers and officials of the party, government and military agencies breathed a sigh of relief. Stalin was so exhausted that he could not walk. He was killed by a stout man.  With the guard on his back, he trudged forward on the snow. In the dim light of dusk, the continuous peaks of the Ural Mountains in the distance were right in front of him. As long as he crossed the geographical dividing line between Europe and Asia, he would be safe for the time being.

    Stalin knew very well that the biggest threat was not the German fighter jets and bombers, but the hundreds of thousands of elite German soldiers who were rushing towards them. The retreating troops had to keep walking to get rid of the pursuers in order to have a chance of survival.  As for the next step after evacuating to Western Siberia, we can only decide at that time!

    "Comrade Rokossovsky, on behalf of the high command, you issue an order to all soldiers and personnel of the party, government and military agencies. You must hold on and cross the Ural Mountains without stopping. You must tell all comrades that the difficulties at hand are  For the time being, all party members and Communist Youth League members in the army must proactively stand up and assume leadership responsibilities! Staff members of the party, government and military agencies must take the initiative to assume their own responsibilities!" Stalin, lying on the back of the guard, said to the deputy  General Rokossovsky, Chief of the General Staff, ordered.

    General Rokossovsky left with dozens of guards. In the current chaotic situation, the task of conveying Comrade Stalin's orders was not easy to complete. What numbers of troops were they? Who are the commanders of the troops at all levels left?  , to whom are the orders from the headquarters given?

    As the deputy chief of staff, I was confused. However, General Rokossovsky was obviously a smart and capable man, and he quickly came up with a solution. After about two hours, the straggler-like Soviet army  The soldiers began to organize themselves, and the senior officials of the Soviet party, government, and military organs also played a role.

    Stalin breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the sound of intensive gunfire came from the front, which made his heart hang up again. He had a very bad feeling in his heart, "Could it be that the German troops occupied the passage to the Ural Mountains first?  "

    The commander of Stalin's personal guards quickly confirmed his judgment. This officer with the rank of colonel, covered in snow, rolled over and said, "Report to Comrade Stalin that the troops in front are not trying to stop us."  german soldierFirefights broke out on all the passes over the Ural Mountains. However, judging from the intensity of the battle, the German troops blocking us were not very large. The temporary commander of the forward troops requested an order from the high command!  "

    "At any cost, rush over!" Stalin said through gritted teeth. "Immediately tell the comrades and commanders at all levels that this is a critical moment for the survival of our Soviet party, government and army. Comrades must not be afraid of sacrifice and break through the German army."  Block the attack, cross the Ural Mountains victoriously, and tell the comrades that Stalin will take up arms and fight with everyone! Victory must belong to the great Soviet people!"

    The Guards Commander left with his blood boiling, and brought with him a large group of soldiers who were also motivated by the leader. "Comrade Rokossovsky, you stay at the headquarters and continue to command the troops. I will go to the front line.  The Red Army soldiers need Stalin even more!" Stalin said to General Rokossovsky, the deputy chief of staff who had just returned.

    "Comrade Stalin, you are the supreme leader of all the Soviet people. How can we let you go to the front line?" Including General Rokossovsky, members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and a large number of senior party, government and military officials  , unanimously opposed, and in the end, it was Major General Aslanov, director of the Operations Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters, who rushed to the command line on behalf of the headquarters and Comrade Stalin without hesitation.

    Stalin was a figure with outstanding oratory skills, no less than Hitler. In history, on the Soviet-German battlefield in 1941, when the German troops were pressing down on the border and almost surrounding Moscow, which speech did he give to celebrate the victory of the October Revolution and the Red Square military parade?  It will not be regarded as one of the classic speeches by future generations.

    However, at this time, Stalin was struggling at the end of the road. Compared with the complacent Hitler at this time, his mood and situation were very different. However, it is undeniable that Stalin's orders still played a great role after being conveyed.  It is more likely that the Soviet soldiers facing a desperate situation knew that they had no way out. Behind them, no more than a day away, hundreds of thousands of well-equipped German soldiers were rushing towards them fiercely, unable to open the Ural.  Passage of the mountain range, everyone must die in this wilderness of ice and snow!

    As a result, the Soviet soldiers who were forced to a dead end broke out with unprecedented fighting power. They braved the fierce firepower and pouring rain of bullets from the blocking German soldiers, and rushed forward without fear of death, and fell to the German soldiers one by one.  Fierce battles broke out at various mountain passes from the Ural Mountains to Western Siberia.

    Despite the strong assistance of the Third Air Force, which dispatched as many transport planes as possible to tow gliders, made risky forced landings in the wild, and parachuted to transport troops, General von Rundstedt, the commander of the German Second Army Group, could not make it in such a short time.  Within a certain period of time, a sufficient number of soldiers were airdropped at various passages in the Ural Mountains behind the Soviet army.

    Along the entire Ural Mountains, there were only about 10,000 German soldiers blocking the retreat of the Soviet soldiers. They were distributed at multiple blocking points, with only a few hundred people at each location. Facing more than 200,000 Soviet soldiers who had already risked their lives.  Soldiers, the weak strength of the army will inevitably become the irreversible weakness of this blocking war!

    The fierce battle between German soldiers and Soviet soldiers to block and break through the various passages from the Ural Mountains to Western Siberia lasted until the early morning. The Soviet army, who had to kill a bloody road, used the blood and corpses of tens of thousands of young soldiers to  After breaking through the blockade of the German soldiers, in the snow-covered wilderness, in the bitterly cold weather, the frozen corpses of Soviet soldiers almost covered the charge road, and the bright red blood solidified the white snow.

    Colonel Sitinatl, commander of the "Klebley" Assault Division of the German Second Army Group responsible for blocking the Soviet army, could only look at the Soviet soldiers rolling away desperately and sighed. Fortunately, the remnants of the Soviet army were eager to  He fled the road without any intention of fighting, and he did not take the opportunity to launch an attack. Otherwise, more than 10,000 soldiers under his command would have died in the Ural Mountains, and most of the remaining Soviet soldiers would have disappeared in the pre-dawn light.  .

    Colonel Sitinater ordered his troops to stick to the blocking position and continue to intercept and kill the scattered Soviet soldiers and vehicles that had not passed through the Ural Mountains. All units were not allowed to pursue them, although he knew that if he pursued them at this moment, at least nearly ten thousand people would be left behind.  He could not save the lives of Soviet soldiers.

    The belligerent German colonel did not want to continue the pursuit, but General Rundstedt, the commander of the army group, specifically told him before leading the expedition that he only needed to hold on to the occupied blocking position and wait for the arrival of the main follow-up troops.  We must not pursue east of the Ural Mountains. This is the order of His Excellency the Head of State!

    Colonel Sitinatel still clearly remembered that when the Commander said these words, his expression was quite serious. More than two hours later, the gunshots on the battlefield began to become sparse, and there were not many Soviet soldiers left behind.  He can be killed. He has heard the tank engine.?Roaring sound, "Just one step missing!" the colonel thought with great regret.
