Chapter 36 Choice (2)
On the central battlefield, the German army began to launch a fierce attack. Their offensive was only late but not absent. Moreover, during the period of collecting refugees, the front line also hoarded a lot of supplies and supplies. In just 4 days, breakthroughs were made in various positions, pushing forward 8o15o kilometers respectively.
Although Molotov angrily stated that the German army did not abide by the agreement and undermined the tacit understanding of peace talks, Ribintrop smiled and told him that at least Germany had "arranged" nearly 20,000 Soviet refugees, and that the Soviet Union had to release at least 20,000 prisoners of war in any case, to be considered as fulfilling the agreement.
After fierce debate, Stalin issued the order to "release people". Starting from August 13, the Red Army continued to release prisoners of war. At the beginning, they were all physically disabled or prisoners with various diseases. In addition, they were long-term food shortage and torture. Many people were dying when they were sent back, and some were confused because of excessive excitement. However, most people saved at least one life after suffering from torture.
At the beginning, there were many Italian and other countries' prisoners of war mixed in the release crowd. By August 16, almost all of the last batch of releases were released. According to them, there may be 450,000 Axis officers and soldiers in the prisoner-of-war camp. All German soldiers witnessed this scene, gritted their teeth. Although there are very few revenge on Soviet prisoners of war, many people made up their minds that they must not be prisoners when fighting with the Red Army in the future, and must fight to the end.
Both sides made excuses of humanitarianism, but the unusual actions between the Soviet Union still attracted great attention. The US ambassador to the Soviet Union questioned the Soviet side for this. Molotov replied: "It's very simple. We lack enough food to support these prisoners. Instead of letting them starve to death and finally become evidence of our crime, it's better to return them to the Germans, which can also increase their burden. If your country is willing, can I increase the Red Cross material assistance related to the Red Cross I can use it on German prisoners."
The Americans were so run out of speech.
In addition to the release of prisoners of war, the Red Army began to choose to withdraw from Leningrad, and the German army rarely did not attack and allowed the Soviet side to organize the retreat. Behind this was the decision after full discussion between Stalin and the senior political bureau. Since the General Staff repeatedly requested the reduction of troops in the direction of Leningrad for the central battlefield, Leningrad could no longer defend. Considering that the people of Leningrad were firm supporters of the Bolsheviks and the city also had an important position, the impact directly on the German side was too bad, and the Soviet and German sides reached a partial agreement on the issue of Leningrad's ownership on the premise that the overall peace agreement could not be reached yet, the Soviet and German sides first reached a partial agreement on the issue of Leningrad's ownership:
The Red Army retreated and took the people away, but the situation was not caused by giving up, but allowed the German army to seize it. The Soviet side stated that it would not destroy urban facilities, but required that the direction of the central battlefield remain stable during the retreat. After careful consideration, Berlin agreed to this request, and it turned into a tacit tacit battle. The ceasefire between the two sides was August, and on August 31, the German army would attack and occupy Leningrad.
Although it was much ugly to lose Leningrad, Stalin's goal was at least: he first used 2oo refugees to stop the German army for one month, and then used 20,000 Axis prisoners of war and an empty Leningrad city to delay for nearly a month. Not only did he have enough troops to draw troops from the northern defense line to join the central battlefield, but the German summer offensive was also postponed to September. However, in the Central Asian battlefield, the two sides maintained a fierce firefighting pattern and ignored all tacit understanding and peace battles outside, so that the entire eastern line formed an overall calm and local fighting was strange logic.
Although he didn't have much advantage in military affairs, he scored a lot in politics: Leningrad, as a major Soviet revolutionary city and the second largest city, has an important position. Vlasov led the Russian People's Liberation Army to announce the founding of the country in Leningrad and change the name of Leningrad back to St. Petersburg. Hoffman believed that once the news spreads, the Russian People's Liberation Army will definitely gain more supporters.
On August 15, the Axis Fleet implemented the "Pearl of Peace" plan arrived on Madagascar. The fleet undertook a five-day rest on the island. On the one hand, it transported all kinds of materials and equipment to the island to consolidate the island's defense, and built it into a solid fortress facing the Indian Ocean, and defended the advantages of the Axis and the two oceans in the west with Yar. On the other hand, it was to replenish the strength and vitality of the troops. So far here, although the entire fleet had sailed for nearly 25 days, it had only been halfway through, and it was still halfway from the Cavaliers Island.
The German army is not yet aware of the coveting of the Yar Islands in the "Overlord" plan of Britain and the United States, but the construction of Yar fortifications is still continuing to advance, and various underground fortifications have been established one after another. Air defense towers have also been established in Germany's local defense. Relying on the dual cover of air defense towers and fighter clusters, Yar has become increasingly a nightmare place for heavy bombers.
Even so, for the purpose of defending the night air strikes against Britain and the United States, Penemide's latest technology was hosted by Dr. Wagner. The HS117 Butterfly Earth-to-air Rockets officially introduced German equipment, and Yar became the first place to be lucky enough to equip.
HS117 is not so much a single one, but rather an aircraft. It has many similarities with the interceptor handed over to the Japanese e163 rocket. It has a maximum range of 32,000 meters and a maximum shooting height of 10,000 meters. It uses radio commands and radar tracking and guidance. In addition to the engine, two solid fuel-boosting rockets are installed for the takeoff stage, with a degree of up to 1 ooo kilometers. Since the German large-caliber near-fighting fuze technology has begun to mature, HS117 has installed a large-level near-fighting fuze and a very primitive enemy-week identification system. Thanks to the rocket's crazy heavy charge, it can emit more than 8 ooo fragments during the explosion, and heavy bombers within 15 o'clock can't escape the disaster.
Due to the small number, the advantages of HS117 cannot be seen during the day, but the effect of investing air defense at night is much better than chasing fighters at night. In this way, the Germans built 16 defense positions in one go, and all the data links are controlled by air defense towers. There are 4 rockets in each position, so I am waiting to be afraid of death and British and American aircraft crash into each other at night. To be continued.,
