"I'm Chuxin, I'm surrounded by enemies, please shoot at me, shoot at me" This was the last roar of the glorious commander of the 1st Tank Brigade of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Colonel Chukhin, who used the T34 he was riding to command the radio on the tank after being surrounded by German tanks.
The rocket artillery battalion attached to the 16th Mechanized Corps then fired a powerful salvo at Colonel Chukhin's location "What are the Soviets shelling with rocket artillery" Moder, who was watching the battle from the upper floor of a tall Catholic church in the center of Legionovo, was startled by the sudden volley of Soviet rockets, and hurriedly asked the adjutant beside him.
"Admiral, they seem to be bombarding the battlefield northeast of the city of Legionovo" "Northeast of the city of Legiononovo, our Tiger has repelled the Soviets' T34," Moder asked.
"It doesn't seem to have been" At this moment, a staff officer ran to Moder's side and reported: "Admiral, Admiral Steiner reports that Rudel's heavy armor cluster has been indiscriminately covered by Soviet rocket artillery during the battle with Soviet T34 tanks."
"No difference," Moder was stunned and stunned.
Indiscriminate coverage is to cover German tanks and Soviet tanks with rocket artillery when they are fighting, and it does not distinguish between German tanks and Soviet tanks "Do you know about the damage?"
asked Modell.
"It's still being counted."
The staff officer replied.
Hearing this news, Moder could no longer sit still, although the Tiger tank and the Panther tank had many problems, and Guderian did not think much of it.
But they are the protectors of Warsaw, and even the loss of one is distressing.
Thinking of this, Moder hurriedly went downstairs and got into his armored command car to Steiner's forward headquarters.
When he arrived, Steiner was giving the order to counterattack on all fronts.
"All tank companies, assault gun companies should participate, advance as far as possible to Vovomin" "Send a telegram to the Eastern Front Air Force Command requesting large-scale air support with a request to gain air superiority on the battlefield northeast of Warsaw tomorrow morning, and at the same time launch suppressive air strikes on transport hubs, troop assembly areas, artillery positions behind enemy lines" "Order 3 smoke launcher regiments, immediately deliver a salvo to cover the starting positions of the Soviet troops with rocket artillery" No sooner had he given his order than he saw most of Moder enter.
"Commander."
Although Steiner is on the same level as Moder, he is a general.
But Moder was the commander of the army group, and Steiner was only the division commander.
"What is the situation, the losses of the 501st and 505th battalions are not big" Hearing Moder's question, Steiner hurriedly took a copy of the damage report he had just received from one of the adjutants, and handed it to Moder with both hands.
"The losses of the Tiger tanks were not significant, only five vehicles were damaged, but they could be repaired, four vehicles had mechanical problems, the remaining 46 were still operable, and two were damaged from the No. 3 assault gun," he said.
However, the Finnish SS battalion suffered considerable losses in the event of rocket attacks, and now 161 people were killed and 58 seriously wounded.
But the losses of the Soviets were definitely heavier, and the casualties should be around 1000 people" Rocket artillery poses little threat to heavy and medium tanks, but it is a very brutal weapon against the infantry, and the infantry, whether German or Soviet, in its strike range, suffers heavy losses.
However, Qiu Xin's call to "shoot at me" before his sacrifice was not killed by rocket artillery, but by the 88 cannon of the Tiger tank, which still has an effect.
After being bombarded by rocket artillery, Major Rudel, the commander of Rudel's cluster, was a little confused, and the Finnish infantry also suffered heavy losses, so he did not immediately give the order to pursue.
This decision allowed the remnants of the 1st Soviet Tank Brigade to withdraw from the battlefield and somewhat retain some strength.
But the commander of the 16th Mechanized Army, Major General Sokalov, and the commander of the 4th Army, Major General Korobkov, still have a feeling of imminent disaster.
Because the glorious 1st Tank Brigade not only suffered heavy losses, but also produced a brigade commander who "fired at me".
The 1st Tank Brigade will definitely have to continue to be glorious, and Qiu Xin is undoubtedly a loyal GC fighter and a martyr of the world revolution, and he is not responsible for today's defeat.
So who will be the sinner who single-handedly caused the heavy casualties of the 1st Tank Brigade and the sacrifice of Comrade Chuxin Major General Korobkov, who was arranging defenses in Vovomin, believed that Sokalov was a sinner and should be reformed through labor.
At this time, Sokalov was struggling to be able to go to Siberia for labor reform.
For him now, labor reform is no longer a nightmare, but an ideal that needs to be fought for.
Because the rearguard unit of the 16th Mechanized Corps led by him was almost wiped out by the pursuing Germans.
When the time comes, he will either be captured in a shameful manner, which is a betrayal of the motherland Either heroic and heroic sacrifices are revolutionary martyrs Sokalov didn't want to betray his homeland, but he was reluctant to die, so he had already made up his mind to either go to Siberia for reform, or die in Poland and kill himself with a pistol if he really couldn't break out.
"Comrades, now is the time for us to be tested, for the cause of the liberation of mankind, for the glory of the Soviet Fatherland, no one is allowed to take a step back" "To retreat is to betray the Soviet Fatherland, to betray the world revolution, comrades, take up your arms and continue the fight against murderous imperialism" Just when Sokalov made up his mind, the voice of political commissar Fedulov suddenly sounded in his ears.
He followed the sound and saw Fegulov standing on a damaged T34 tank with a tin horn, speaking agitating words to a group of empty-handed infantry who had just retreated from the front line.
Those infantry were all motorized infantry of the 16th Mechanized Army, and after the 46th Tank Brigade of the 16th Mechanized Corps and the 1st Tank Brigade temporarily attached to the 16th Mechanized Corps were defeated by the German armored group, Sokalov could only personally lead more than 3,000 infantry in order to save his mechanized army.
But where these infantry could hold back the tracks of the German tanks, they barely resisted for thirty or forty minutes, and they all broke down one after another.
But before he could retreat, he was blocked by more than a dozen cadres of the political department of the army led by political commissar Fedulov.
Yes, there are only a dozen political cadres with pistols, and the machine gun supervision team does not exist.
Now, in 1942, only a few years before the Great Purge, the prestige of the political commissars and political cadres is high.
One sentence of them can make people go to Siberia for labor reform, and one sentence can also make people join the party and work for a happy life.
"Comrade commissar, it's dangerous here, you should withdraw first" Sokalov ran to the wreckage of the T34 tank where Fegulov was standing with a few staff officers, "the Germans' tanks will come up soon" "Comrade commander, you should withdraw first" Fedulov jumped out of the car, but he did not agree to escape.
He is not stupid, now that the army commander has not run, how can he, the political commissar, run first, in case the comrade of the army commander dies honorably, his own political commissar will be responsible for the defeat of the army, and then the political commissar will have to go to prison if he does not do it.
"I'm the commander, and it's my responsibility to cover everyone to go first."
Where did Sokalov dare to go.
Now that the battle is like this, the commissar does not withdraw, and the army commander runs away first, it is not a question of going to Siberia for a few years, but the highest security measure is to be shot and deported, but usually by shooting.

When the two of them were humble, they suddenly didn't know who shouted: "Rockets are hidden" Then Sokalov and Fegulov were thrown down by the people around them next to the wreckage of the T34 tank to avoid bullets.
As soon as the two of them lay down, they felt the earth tremble, and at the same time there was a strange cry of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" in their ears, and then the sound of continuous explosions almost instantly, and these Soviet soldiers who were congested on and on both sides of the road to Vovomin were drowned in a jungle of smoke columns.
Shrapnel representing death flew in all directions, causing the Soviet infantry to scream and be swept down in a strange way.
The large-caliber rockets fell like raindrops, and the density was unbelievably large, so that most of the Soviet officers and soldiers who suffered such an unprecedented and rapid blow were killed almost without even having time to turn around the idea of concealment But rocket attacks come and go quickly.
Before the big guys could react, the rocket artillery attack was over.
Sokalov and Fegulov escaped by hiding next to a destroyed T34 tank, but the two GC fighters were also mortals, and now they were a little dizzy and showed symptoms of shock.
Sokalov regained some consciousness, and the clatter of tank tracks against the ground came from his buzzing ears.
It was the Soviet tank Sokalov who thought in a daze, most of them were going to Siberia for labor reform, but his life should be saved.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a faint voice of conversation in German.
"A lot of corpses" "Maybe there are still alive, look for them."
"Found a living one, it seems to be an officer, this is a general" Sokalov felt that someone was dragging him, it was likely that the Germans were going to capture him, this was a betrayal, he hurriedly touched his pistol and wanted to shoot himself.
But as soon as he moved, his arm was twisted by force.
Then he heard the shouts of the political commissar of the army, Fedulov: "Long live the world revolution, long live the great leader of the Bolshevik Party, long live Stalin." t1706231537:
