The time had come to June 20, 1942, and 19 days earlier, the great world revolution had officially begun, and the vigorous revolutionary war was fiercely fought on June 1 and 20, with countless revolutionary or reactionary martyrs emerging, of course, there were also many traitors, traitors, and thieves who betrayed the revolutionary cause, and some reactionaries hidden in the Bolshevik party and army also revealed their true colors in the face of the test of the world revolution.
At this moment, in a small dark room in a building occupied by the Political Department of the Western Front of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which was almost completely isolated from the outside world, Colonel Sandalov, chief of staff of the 4th Army of the Red Army, who had just escaped death in a brutal battle, was sitting alone at his desk with the paint off to write his confessions Of course, it was not good to write an account in such an environment, but Colonel Sandalov did not think that the organization had "made a mistake", and when he received the order to "immediately return to Minsk to report the situation", he knew that he was going to be locked up in a small black room.
Because he, the commander of the 4th Army, Major General Korobkov, and the political commissar Terekin, had just committed the unforgivable crime of losing the war Defeat is, of course, sinful In accordance with the provisions of Article 58, paragraph 1, of the Criminal Code of the USSR of 1926, a citizen of the USSR committed an act of sabotage against the military power, the sovereignty of the State and the inviolable territory of the USSR.
For example, acts of espionage, betrayal of state secrets, fornication with foreign enemies, and defection of aircraft abroad all constitute the crime of treason against the state.
Moreover, according to this article, if a soldier cannot prevent others from betraying the state, he shall be sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment.
Now Sandalov has committed a subsidiary clause of Article 58, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code: the crime of a soldier who cannot prevent others from betraying the state is punishable by 10 years in prison And the bad guy he "couldn't stop" was the commander of the 4th Army, Korobkov.
Because Korobkov's actions in the battle of Legionovovovo Min, which constituted damage to the military power of the USSR.
First of all, the 4th Army under his command was defeated in the battle by the Germans, who were far less numerous than him, and it was a crushing defeat Secondly, in order to cover up his mistakes, Korobkov deliberately exaggerated the enemy situation, exaggerating at most one divisional armored cluster into three armored divisions, which caused a miscalculation on the part of the front command.
The commander of the Front, General Pavlov, based on the erroneous information provided by Korobkov, made the decision of the 1st Tank Army to hold to the east of Maidanvovomin, which caused the 1st Tank Army to rush into battle and was routed by the German armored group, with extremely heavy losses.
So, the actions of the commander of the 4th Army, Korobkov, already constituted the crime of treason against the state.
And the chief of staff of the 4th Army, Sandarov, and the political commissar Terekin, because they did not stop his crime, also constituted the crime of aiding the betrayal of the country.
However, if three people commit a crime together, according to the provisions of the Criminal Code, they belong to an "anti-life group", and the crime is added to the first degree.
That is, the main culprit Korobkov was to be shot, or declared an enemy of the working class, confiscated of all property, deprived of citizenship of the USSR or union republics, deportation in the USSR, deportation and shooting were the same level of punishment However, whether to be shot or deported is not up to the inmates themselves.
Otherwise, probably no one would have chosen to be shot Korobkov's sins must have been shot.
Sandalov thought to himself: Then he would have been reformed through labor for 10 years, and with the addition of a "group crime", it would have been at least 15 years of reformed through labor.
However, it is not for nothing that he can not go to Siberia to work and live, and now he is locked up in the small black room of the Political Department to write an explanation and say that he will give a way.
He thought about it, when Korobkov deceived the organization and lied about the military situation, he organized a retreat at the headquarters of the army group near Vovomin, which he did not know about at the time, and only learned about it later.
If he denounces Korobkov now, not only will he be guilty, but he will also be punished, so naturally he will not have to go to Siberia.
He must be exposedSandalov gritted his teeth, Korobkov's sins are unforgivable, if he doesn't expose himself, someone else will expose it, so it's better to expose it himself, so that he and his family can be saved.
Knowing what was at stake, Sandalov no longer hesitated, picked up the pen and began to write on the letterhead.
"Shoot must be shot" Ponomarenko saw the revelation materials of Sandalov and Terekin, as well as Korobkov's covert confession materials, and compared the three aspects, he knew what was going on at that time.
The battle of Legiononovovovomin was supposed to be a medium-sized defeat, and the main forces of the 1st Tank Army could have been preserved, but it turned out to be a crushing defeat because of Korobkov's mistakes.
"Korobkov is a latent anti-grubbing assassin who is trying to sabotage the world revolution, the most vicious of all, and he is innocent of death" Pavlov, the commander of the Western Front, did not dare to shield Korobkov at this time, and not only did he shield him, but he also charged him with "anti-gimmick".
However, it cannot be said that Pavlov and Ponomarenko are wronging Korobkov, because Korobkov's crime of defeating the battle is real, and no matter how you quibble, the battle of Legionovovovo was always lost by a big loss.
The powerful army group, consisting of 1 mechanized corps, 1 tank corps and 1 infantry corps, actually gave the Germans a divisional cluster to defeat, and it was a crushing defeat Such a fiasco had never happened in the glorious history of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and now that such a crushing defeat was suffered at the very beginning of the world revolution, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a blow to the great leader Stalin, and Korobkov, who broke through the catastrophe, of course, had to pay a very deserved price.
However, the Battle of Legionovovovo also showed that the fighting power of the Nazi German army was very strong, even stronger than everyone imagined.
In addition to being inferior in numbers, there are clear advantages in all other aspects.
And the Soviet Red Army was deficient in many ways.
The performance of the 34 tank and the KV1 tank was not as good as expected.
Moreover, the strength of the Red Air Force did not have a clear advantage, and in the past ten days of fighting, the Air Force of the Western Front had already suffered huge losses According to the report of Major General Kobets, commander of the Western Front, the Air Force of the Front lost more than 1,800 planes of various types in less than 15 days, and lost more than 2,200 pilots and crew members.
If the losses continue, the Western Front will have no air force to use "Comrade Military Commissar," said General Pavlov after some thought, and finally said to Ponomarenko with a frown, "now we have suffered great losses, and the military power of imperialist Germany is stronger than originally thought, especially in terms of air and armored forces.
Now the Western Front needed more aircraft, pilots, tanks and various vehicles to ensure the smooth running of the Battle of Warsaw. ” "Korobkov was shot, Terekin 15 years of labor reform Sandalov acted commander of the 4th Army."
In the basement of the Kremlin, Stalin smoked a pipe and pronounced the fate of Korobkov, Terekin and Sandalov in front of Voroshilov and Beria.
One was shot for fighting a lost battle that should not have been fought and for exaggerating the enemy's situation to deceive the organization; One was reformed through labor because the exposé materials were written too long and profoundly, delaying the time of the leader; There is also a promotion for exposing the anti-grums in time.
But this is a small matter for Stalin, and now there is only one real big thing, that is, whether Warsaw, Warsaw, or if it is to be liberated, how to fight "Pavlov can give him whatever he wants," said Stalin, smoking his pipe, "and if we don't have one, we will go to the Americans and ask for something else, and send a representative of the Supreme High Command to help him." ” "Okay, Comrade Stalin."
Voroshilov nodded, he understood Stalin's thoughts.
"I will definitely urge Pavlov to take Warsaw no matter what."
Stalin smoked his pipe and asked: "Hitler and Hersmann would probably have ordered Guderian to hold Warsaw no matter what."
So which is achievable anyway?"
"Of course ours can be achieved anyway."
Voroshilov said with a smile, "Although the 4th Army was defeated in the battle of Legiononovovovovomin, this defeat did not change the balance of strength and weakness between the Soviet Union and Germany.
In fact, our defeat was caused by a number of minor problems that could be improved, such as the lack of artillery that could penetrate the frontal armor of German tanks at long distances We actually have such artillery, the 85 anti-aircraft gun and another 57 anti-tank gun have strong anti-tank capabilities, it's just that these two guns have not yet been loaded into tanks and armored vehicles.
Anti-tank guns and 85 anti-aircraft guns went to war.
And we can also improve the anti-tank capabilities of existing artillery by introducing high-speed armor-piercing shell technology from Britain and the United States.
In addition, we have a lot of room for improvement in the Air Force.

For example, the most advanced fighter of the United States, the 51 fighter, can be introduced, the performance of this aircraft has been tested in the theater of Western Europe, and it is enough to fight all the advanced fighters of Germany.
Now on the territory of the USSR there were squadrons armed with 51 fighters, which were originally used to cover the B17 bombers, and we can now ask the American side to agree to transfer them to the Warsaw campaign. ” t1706231537:
