Chapter 1441： Romney Meeting (1/2)
”We can't wait any longer.” At this time, a voice sounded: ”I will give the order to make our army retreat across the board. If the Germans completely surround us, we will never have a chance.”
Khrushchev and Timoshenko turned their heads and spoke with General Kilbonos, the commander of the Southwest Front. The Ukrainian war was not as bad as Belarus, and it was largely dependent on him.
General Kilbonos, one of the first senior generals to recover his composure from the shock of the outbreak of war, did not place his troops specifically at the front. After the war broke out, he effectively took advantage of the depth of Ukrainian territory, deployed the four armies under his jurisdiction in echelon defensive deployment, coordinated with each other, and even boldly carried out counter-assaults on the flanks of the German Panzer Corps.
He was in Budjoni, and later Timothy’s men presided over the military affairs in the southwest.
(Huadong Zhixiong is a little confused. He is the commander of the Southwest Front Army. What should Timusin's position be called?)
Now, Stalin does not agree to retreat, and their front-line commanders know very well that once the Germans encircle, hundreds of thousands of troops will probably be lost.
They wanted to retreat. It was not a day or two. Now Stalin actually insisted on holding on. Finally, Admiral Kilbonos stepped forward. Regardless of the danger of being sent to a military court, he ordered the troops to retreat.
Timoshenko nodded.
Khrushchev also nodded.
Of course they have no objection, but they dare not sign their name on the order form. If they give such an order, they will probably be shot. Now that Admiral Kilbonos stepped forward, it couldn't be better.
Under the order of General Kilbonos, the Southwest Front Army began to move. They cleaned up their camp, got into the car, and made preparations for evacuation.
………
East of Kiev, inside Rom.
(It is inevitable that the Central Route Army will go south because there are too many defenders in Kiev. If the encirclement circle is not large enough and the troops are not enough, the package will not be tight enough. Look at the map and you will know. It is almost far away from the border, and you can think of the encirclement in the Kiev battle, how huge it is! Just check the information, the East China hero is also shocked.)
”Rush, rush, rush in!” Tiger tanks drove at full power, and the diesel engine at the tail gave out puffs of black smoke. The 88mm gun barrel was high. As the fist unit of the SS, they were Rush to the front.
The first heavy armored battalion, one-water tiger tanks, and some of the additional armor hanging on the outside have been cracked. After the battle, they even had no time to replace the rotten additional armor. Say, time is everything!
Karl Bauman sat in his tank basket, looking at the outline of the city that gradually appeared in front of him, he was expecting infinitely, what about the Soviet tank? Come out quickly!
From the beginning of Operation Barbarossa to the present, Bowman’s results have been soaring. Up to now, he has destroyed 72 Soviet tanks. Now, the rear has begun to plan to award him the Iron Cross. Just wait. After this war is over, Bowman will become a hero that everyone admires.
Now, Bowman hopes that a Soviet tank will appear in front of him so that he can accumulate more results.
Unfortunately, there was nothing. His tank rushed into the city in the first place, and no enemy on the streets attacked him.
The troops inside Romney were empty, and the troops stationed here were not equipped with a company's strength at all. When they rushed over, it happened that the military command headquarters issued an order to retreat.
As a result, the defenders here retreated quickly, leaving this empty city to the German army!
