"It's over, it's all over, and now I'm going to be a reactionary" The 16th Mechanized Corps and the 1st Tank Brigade suffered a crushing defeat, the troops suffered heavy casualties, the tank cluster was almost completely wiped out by the commander of the 16th Mechanized Corps Sokalov, the whereabouts of the political commissar Fedulov are unknown, and the commander of the 1st Tank Brigade Chukhin died heroically When Lieutenant Colonel Kurbsky, chief of staff of the 16th Mechanized Army, made a phone call and told the commander of the 4th Army, Major General Korobkov, about the bad news at the front, he suddenly had a feeling that the sky was falling.
This was the first real crushing defeat after the start of the world revolution, and although the Red Army had a record of defeat in the Soviet-Finnish war, the Soviet-Polish war of 1939, and Afghanistan, there was never a single mechanized corps that was routed and the army commander and political commissar disappeared.
Moreover, this time there was a glorious 1st Tank Brigade Comrade Ponomarenko, political commissar of the Western Front, had just signed a commendation order, calling on the entire front army to learn from the glorious 1st Tank Brigade, and in the blink of an eye, the 1st Tank Brigade was almost annihilated by Germany.
This makes Comrade Ponomarenko where to put his face on this matter, if Comrade Ponomarenko endures it, how can he be the successor of the world revolution in the future, and if Ponomarenko, the political commissar of the front army, wants to find someone to cut the knife, then Korobkov will be a reactionary.
Who made Sokalov and Fedulov unaccounted for, whether they died as martyrs or were captured as traitors, it has nothing to do with Comrade Ponomarenko, and no matter how big the political commissar of the front army is, he can't control the dead and the enemy's concentration camps.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lieutenant Colonel Kurbsky's voice in the telephone receiver suddenly became even more trembling.
"Comrade commander, the Nazis, the Nazi tanks are coming up, they are about to rush up, the 16th Mechanized Army is going to collapse" After saying that, the phone snapped and hung up, and it was obvious that the military headquarters of the 16th Mechanized Army was about to be transferred.
And on the other end of the telephone line, Major General Korobkov was even more dumbfounded.
What's going on, the 16th Mechanized Army is about to collapse, how can it be an army, even if the 46th Tank Brigade and the 1st Tank Brigade are finished, there are still three motorized rifle brigades left, how can it be possible for the German armored forces to collapse in a few hours He was at a loss when someone suddenly shouted: "Rocket hidden" Korobkov subconsciously wanted to find a hole in the ground and get into it, and the sappers repaired anti-artillery fortifications near his headquarters, but there was a rumbling serial explosion in his ears, but Korobkov himself was unharmed.
It turned out that the target of the German rocket artillery was not Korobkov's headquarters, but the 28th Army of the Red Army, which was deploying a defensive line at the front.
This corps had been marching on the city of Legionovo two hours earlier, and only after the news of the defeat of the 16th Mechanized Corps was the news of the defeat was ordered to deploy on the front line of Vovo.
But how can an army with 3 motorized infantry divisions and 5 motorized artillery regiments belonging to 2 corps and 3 divisions be deployed from a state of march and complete the deployment within 2 hours, and they are not an armored army, as long as they put their vehicles out of the way, they can fight with the enemy's armored troops.
Their infantry had to build fortifications, dig trenches, lay mines, and place various artillery positions before they could hold off enemy tank clusters.
But how could the German Nazis give the 28th Infantry Corps of the Soviet Red Army time to deploy its defenses Thinking that the 28th Infantry Corps might also collapse in a short time, Korobkov no longer had the heart to stay in the headquarters to listen to the report, so he took a few staff officers and guards and headed for the front line northwest of the town of Vovomin.
Before the Gas-61 car he was riding in had reached the place, he heard a burst of shouts of "Ula Ula".
The troops, which had just been attacked by rocket artillery, had now been reinvigorated by the instigation of the officers and political cadres, and some of them were preparing to launch a desperate counterattack against the German armored clusters "Captain, look, the Bolsheviks are coming" Captain Gustav Schwarzenegger was sitting in the captain's seat, munching on black bread and hard sausages with his head down, when he heard gunner Ogg shouting.
Captain Schwarzenegger hurriedly stuffed the food into his pocket, then leaned out of the open top hatch, and then saw something unbelievable to him.
Countless Red Army soldiers were charging with Mosin-Nagant rifles, SH submachine guns and anti-tank grenades, shouting the slogan "Ulaula" like a tidal wave.
"Get out of the car and stop the Bolsheviks," Captain Schwarzenegger shouted, telling the grenadiers on the tank to get out of the car and fire at the Soviet infantry with their KB42 automatic carbines, so that these Bolshevik madmen could not get close in any way Soon, the machine guns on the KB42, G42 and No. 4 tanks in the hands of the Nazi infantry rained down the charging Red Army soldiers one by one.
However, the desperate charge of the Red infantry also temporarily blocked the advance of the German armored group, and taking advantage of this respite won with blood, the 1st division of the 28th Infantry Corps of the Soviet Army also quickly shrank into the town of Vovomin, and began to hastily build rudimentary fortifications.
Due to the tight schedule, the Soviet infantry had to take materials from the courtyards of each house, and piled up barricades and anti-tank fire bunkers with miscellaneous items such as carts, wooden boxes, and furniture.
Some of the 193738 Type 45 anti-tank guns, ZIS 2 Type 57 anti-tank guns, and ZIS 3 Type 76 anti-tank guns that survived the German rocket artillery attack just now were also dragged into the town of Vovomin and arranged at various intersections.
Some Red Army snipers also entered the houses on the outskirts of the town, most of which were somewhat damaged due to the two rocket artillery attacks they had encountered, but they could still be used as fire bases, and rifles, machine guns, and anti-tank guns were set up and pointed straight to the open area ahead, and everyone held their breath and waited for the Germans to attack.
The 28th Army of the Red Army had received special training in street fighting before the start of the world revolution, and each of them knew by heart all the skills of street fighting, how to fight in the central cities of the bourgeoisie such as Warsaw, Berlin and Paris, and how to plant the red flag at Warsaw Castle, the Reichstag in Berlin and the Elysee Palace in Paris.
Of course, they also knew how to use the city's buildings to repel the counterattack of Nazi German tanks and infantry But today's attacking Nazi tanks and infantry did not intend to recapture Vovomin, they were only ordered to launch a short assault with the aim of killing as much as possible the living forces of the Soviet army and delaying their attack on Warsaw.
For Moder, now the commander of the 6th Army, the biggest difficulty in holding on to Warsaw was the lack of troops.
He had only 270,000 officers and soldiers under his command, and his opponent was likely to have as many as 1 million.
Therefore, anything that could cause heavy losses, but could not completely repel the Soviet offensive, was worthless.
Therefore, after discovering that the Soviet infantry had retreated into Vovomin and tried to hold on, General Steiner, who was commanding the operation at the front, decisively abandoned the operation to recover Vovomin.
On the one hand, he ordered the artillery group to bombard Vovomin without rocket artillery, in order to kill and wound the Soviet infantry who were holding there; On the one hand, let the pursuing armored clusters bypass the towns and launch a surprise attack on the artillery positions and rear assembly areas of the Soviet 28th Army.
The Soviet 28th Army was already in disarray, and according to the plan, they were going to attack Legiononovo.
Before the collapse of the 16th Mechanized Corps and the 1st Tank Brigade, it was still on the march.
Before it was fully deployed, it was covered by German rocket artillery and assaulted by armored forces, and it was completely in chaos.
While the Germans' armored clusters repelled the 28th Army's infantry counterattack, three German smoke launcher regiments, guided by aircraft, launched another rocket artillery raid targeting the rear area of the 28th Army.
So when hundreds of No. 4H tanks and No. 3 assault guns and more than 10,000 panzergrenadiers rushed in, the artillery positions of the Soviet 28th Army were just halfway arranged, and they were covered by nearly 2,000 rockets.
The headquarters of the 4th Army of the Red Army was behind the 28th Infantry Army, and some fragmentary units directly under the 4th Army were also around the headquarters of the 4th Army.
When Korobkov returned from the front in despair, these fragments of troops were being deployed, and the command of the 4th Army was not ready to move.
The political commissar of the group army, Teregin, was like an ant on a hot pot, circling around the headquarters while carrying a telephone receiver and shouting: "If you are not allowed to retreat, you must hold Vovomin, and whoever dares to retreat is anti-G and a reactionary."
Seeing Korobkov come in, Terekin finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was just a political officer, and he didn't know how to fight.
"Comrade Commander, how is the situation?"
Terekin asked.
"They're coming" "Who are they?"
"The armored forces of the Germans," replied Korobkov, "they had bypassed Vovomin and were coming towards us."
Up to" Boom The sound of shells exploding was already ringing, and it was the Wasp self-propelled guns that followed the advance of the German armored units that were firing at it.
"Comrade commander, the Germans are coming," Terekin asked, blushing.

"It's coming" "So what do we do" "What to do," Korobkov sighed, "if you don't want to be a prisoner, then transfer immediately and go to join the 1st Tank Army, there are still 2 tank brigades, which should be able to block the counterattack of the German armored forces." ” t1706231537:
