- The Soviet 9th Army collapsed completely.
Major General Frariyakush committed suicide, Lieutenant General Kharitonov committed suicide
The speed of failure is jaw-dropping and unbelievable. The "Three-Headed Banshee" burst out her huge and terrifying power in front of everyone from the very beginning.
And Marshal Ernst Brahm, who commanded these German troops, was as stable as a huge rock and was not affected at all.
After defeating the 9th Army, the German army quickly launched a powerful attack on the Soviet 57th Army. Moreover, a hole was deliberately left to welcome the arrival of Russian reinforcements!
Marshal Ernst Brahm posed a huge problem to Marshal Timoshenko of the Soviet Union:
Save or not!
Without rescue, the German army can concentrate all its forces and destroy the 57th Army. Once two armies are lost in Kharkov, what kind of impact will it have, both militarily and politically? This is a responsibility that Marshal Timoshenko does not dare to bear!
Save? What results will be encountered? Marshal Timoshenko doesn¡¯t know either.
In fact, starting from the second stage of the Battle of Kharkov, Marshal Timoshenko¡¯s brief hesitation led to the current situation.
"If he had been able to order the 9th Army to continue to break through and contain the German army in motion, or directly order the 9th Army to retreat in large strides, perhaps the situation would not be like this.
With just such a short hesitation, the battlefield quickly changed dramatically!
Marshal Timoshenko now has only one choice:
Break into Kharkov and start a decisive battle with the German army!
The brutal Kharkov battle is officially on!
And Marshal Ernst Brahm has decided: Never let go of this most favorable opportunity!
Annihilate the main force of the Soviet Southwest Front and Southern Front, and reverse the passive situation on the Soviet-German battlefield in one battle!
On April 14, the German Skeleton Division and the Kleist Group launched wave after wave of attacks against the 57th Army, which put the 57th Army in a precarious situation.
And Marshal Timoshenko, who made the final decision, personally directed the Soviet army to launch a massive counterattack against Kharkov.
Now, it is not only a decisive battle between the two armies, but also a decisive battle between the two highest commanders on the battlefield!
The situation of the Russians looks very bad. The German army has penetrated 80 kilometers into the left flank of the Soviet army, and continues to maintain assaults, continuing to put heavy pressure on the Soviet army.
Marshal Timoshenko, who was fighting an attack, quickly ordered the Soviet 6th Army, commanded by Grodyansky, to enter Kharkov and launch an attack on the 6th Army commanded by the German General Paulus!
Wang Weiyi urgently ordered the 6th Group Army to move towards himself and complete the rendezvous.
The two sides frequently mobilized their troops and generals on the battlefield to show off their wisdom and courage.
The battle situation is changing every minute. Often, just after this order is issued, the situation of the troops to whom the order is issued has changed.
Now, it is not only a test of the top commanders of both sides, but also a test of whether the officers and soldiers of the Soviet and German armies have the courage and determination to win this battle!
The German Air Force played a huge role in the Battle of Kharkov.
With surprising frequency, they continue to take off and bomb, then return to base, complete supplies, take off again, and bomb again. Continuously destroying the Russians' communication and supply channels.
Precisely because of this, the Soviet army was in a mess.
Especially in terms of communication, orders are simply impossible to convey.
On the 15th, the left wing of the Soviet 28th Group Army was breached, which forced the Soviet command to use its reserves in advance, the 34th Motorized Infantry Brigade and the 32nd Cavalry Division to protect its flank.
On the way forward, these two troops were once again brutally bombed by the Luftwaffe.
A German encirclement is gradually forming
On the 16th, Wang Weiyi invested his own reserves of the 288th and 289th Infantry Divisions in a complete final blockade.
Timoshenko also responded quickly, ordering the main force of the 38th Army to break through the German lines to the west and resume contact with the troops within the German encirclement.
And Wang Weiyi¡¯s response measures are shocking:
He put a large part of the 38th Army into the encirclement!
How big is his appetite? How many Soviet troops did he want to eat in Kharkov?
I¡¯m afraid no one can give the answer now
On the 18th, Paulus's 6th Army was at Balaklea.Completed the rendezvous with General Ernst Brahm in the south, cut off the Soviet army's retreat from the Barvinkovo ??salient to the other side of the Donets River in the north, and defeated all the Soviet 6th, 28th, and 57th armies. , surrounded by most of the 38th Group Army.
The encirclement has been formed!
At this time, the German army, which had completed the encirclement, continued to widen the blockade. Kleist's armored battle group widened the outer ring of the encirclement from the east.
The 60th Motorized Infantry Division, 384th, 389th Infantry Division and 100th Light Infantry Division fanned out to the west, firmly blocking the enemy's retreat in the encirclement.
At this point, the siege of Kharkov has been formed!
Within the encirclement, there were all three Soviet armies, most of the 38th Army, and the remnants of the previously annihilated 9th Army.
The huge Russian troops are waiting for the Germans to destroy them!
Wang Weiyi knows very well that the "Three-Headed Banshee" plan is already half successful!
On the night of the 18th, a new news came:
Marshal Timoshenko¡¯s headquarters is actually within the Kharkov encirclement!
This information came so suddenly! Even Wang Weiyi didn't react for a while.
Did Timoshenko personally bring his troops to fight him? No, this is not a decisive battle, but the final madness of the Soviet army!
With so many troops surrounded, the Soviet Supreme Command no longer has the strength to deploy new troops for reinforcement and rescue, leaving Wang Weiyi with plenty of time to eat these troops.
After the siege of Demyansk ended, the German army finally let out a long sigh of relief.
It¡¯s time to give an explanation to the German soldiers who died in Demyansk! It¡¯s time for the Russians to also taste the taste of being surrounded and annihilated!
They¡ª¡ªhave no way to escape!
Not only are the Germans working hard, Xiaoling and Elina are also working hard at the Ziguang Military Base.
Pieces of intelligence and intercepted telegrams they detected were continuously passed to Wang Weiyi.
In front of Wang Weiyi, the Russians have no secrets left
The besieged Soviet troops are now in complete chaos. The troops no longer consider the password issue at all, but directly generate electricity with clear codes.
The contents of the telegram are also quite confusing.
The commander directly gave an order to a regiment commander to open a gap to the west. In less than a minute, the division commander gave the regiment commander an order to open a gap to the east, making it impossible for the regiment commander to follow. Who should he listen to? Is that good?
It¡¯s chaos, the Russians are completely in chaos!
At this time, the German army began to calmly redeploy its troops, preparing to complete the final annihilation operation against the Soviet army!
At the Soviet high command in Kharkov, Timoshenko was also distraught.
This battle was fought too cowardly. Before the Soviet army was fully prepared, so many troops were already surrounded by the German army. And how exactly all this happened, Timoshenko has not yet reacted.
In the sky, German aircraft continued to bomb the Russians in the encirclement, without giving them a moment's rest; on the ground, the German artillery poured out shells like crazy, blasting those who wanted to regroup. Instead, the Soviet army became more chaotic.
Crisis, this is a complete crisis. If a raw gap cannot be opened within two days, then the Soviet army here may be completely eaten!
Marshal Timoshenko, who had regained his strength, decided to create a miracle as well:
The Miracle of Kharkov¡¯s Great Breakout!
It¡¯s just like the Demyansk miracle created by the Skeleton Baron, except now the roles of the two parties have been reversed.
In the early morning of the 19th, Timoshenko ordered the 151st Infantry Division and the 114th Tank Brigade to launch an assault in Srevingtonya, trying to open a gap to cover the retreat of the main German army.
What is being defended here is a wide defense line composed of the German SS Totenkopf Division and the 60th Motorized Infantry Division.
Timoshenko once again made a wrong choice:
He chose the most tenacious, heroic and fighting unit of the German army as a breakthrough point
What¡¯s more, what he didn¡¯t expect was that the headquarters of the German Kharkiv Group was located here!
This is where Baron Alexon is!
??Two excellent commanders, two commanders with extraordinary courage:
Marshal Ernst Brahm and Marshal Timoshenko!
¡°One of them set up his headquarters at the forefront, and the other personally came to the encirclement to direct.?The troops break out!
From this point of view, Wang Weiyi and Timoshenko are sympathetic to each other.
The Soviet 151st Infantry Division and the 114th Tank Brigade, which Timoshenko trusted immensely and had the strongest fighting will among his troops, were almost entirely composed of veterans. The brave, desperate, and tragic breakout battle began!
The sound of "Ula" that was so familiar to the German army resounded throughout the battlefield. But I don't know why, in the sound of "Ula", the German soldiers seemed to hear the desperate cry of the Russians.
The German army opened all firepower, killing the Russians who came up like a massacre.
Densely packed enemies, densely packed targets!
It¡¯s a complete target!
The machine gun shooter can easily shoot down a large number of enemies without making any more movements; the Tiger tank's shells can often destroy a Russian T34 with one shot.
And those German shooters have no idea how many people they have killed since the Russians began to break through.
It¡¯s completely impossible to calculate!
This is not a battlefield, this is hell on earth! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
