Chapter 1115: Where is Pavlov (2/2)
No one knows where Pavlov is now. The German offensive has been planned for a long time. Many telephone lines have been cut off. The signal soldiers have been assassinated, and there is chaos.
But at least, Pavlov should be in his headquarters. Where did he go?
At this time, Pavlov, who was chanted by Moscow, had arrived at the station of the Thirteenth Army, and gathered all the senior commanders of the Army.
”This is our most critical battle. We must muster the courage to defeat the enemy with the belief in victory. Our Soviet army is the most powerful, and our tanks are also the most advanced. Let us unite around the Party Central Committee with Stalin at the same time...”
Pavlov’s speech lasted more than two hours. During these two hours, there were continuous emergency reports, but no one dared to pass it to Pavlov.
Later generations judged Pavlov, and some people said that he was wronged. After all, few troops that entered the battlefield survived the first wave. It depends on who caught up, and who was unlucky.
However, Pavlov is still to blame. At this critical time, he was not in his front army command, but in a front-line group army command. He was simply stupid.
In his eyes, the most important thing now is to encourage everyone~~ to strengthen the belief in victory. As the commander of the dignified Western Special Military Region, he is now working as a propaganda department officer. task.
General Pavlov was promoted too quickly, and he assumed too much responsibility before he had the corresponding ability. During the Spanish Civil War, he was just a tank soldier, and he had no overall view at all.
In the Western Special Military Region, he was even more incompetent. The two most elite group armies went too far to the Bialystok salient, and there were not enough reserves. The entire air force is concentrated on a few airports, making them good targets for the enemy.
Moreover, now, after the war began, Pavlov actually went to a group army, which was tantamount to giving up command of the front army as a whole. Intensified the chaos. The loss of hundreds of thousands of troops is counted on his head, and it is not wronged.
Just when the 14th Mechanized Army on the front was killed by the German tank troops, in their south, the 9th Mechanized Army of the Southwest Front Army was still hurried on its way.
In the direction of Ukraine, Germany also launched a large-scale offensive, and the 9th Mechanized Army was ordered to advance to the Voronsky New City, Rivne, and Lutsk.
”Quick, quick, we must follow the command of the headquarters to reach our position!”
The 9th Mechanized Army was placed in the rear, but now they were ordered to rush to the front line urgently, and their troops would be exhausted.
The 35th Tank Division is a mechanized unit. They can advance in the wilderness, leaving the road to their brothers, the 131st Motorized Infantry Division.
At this time, carrying their own equipment, the infantry comrades were panting.
The trucks in the formation are completely invisible. Their motorized unit is completely pure infantry. ()
