Lujin's intuition saved the entire Shepetovka.

If he was a little later, he would have no chance to stop the attack of the Italian army. After Italian tanks rushed to the main road, the entire city would be destroyed.

When the battle ended, Lu Jin also felt very lucky. If the left-behind company on his side responded a little slower, it would not be possible to win him a chance.

The Italians left more than a dozen tanks and retreated from the street unwillingly. Moreover, they did not withdraw completely, but just retreated to safety. It was obvious that the Italians were afraid of the nearer moor bottles in the dark, and after dawn, there would be battles waiting for them.

Under the attack of the Italian army, Lujin felt a lot of pressure. The only good result was that Shepetovka was still in his hands. After learning about his embarrassment, his superiors would definitely send him reinforcements.

Geographically, Shepetovka is close to the defense line established in the middle, but it is still under the jurisdiction of the Southwest Front Army.

At this time, in Kyiv, Budonny also received the news.

"What? Did the German army attack Shepetovka?" Budonnie was even more shocked and sweated. It was an important transportation hub. Once it was lost, it would have a significant impact on the entire defense line.

"Fortunately, General Lujin stayed in Shepetovka and organized an army to block the German army."

Lu Jin? Lu Jin is still there? And where did he come from the army? You know, it is impossible to rely solely on the few people under his command to defend Shepetovka.

Fortunately, Budjuni quickly figured out everything, and the surprise on his face increased. Budjuni was not familiar with Lu Jin, which also meant that there was nothing outstanding about such a general. Now? Who would have thought that Lu Jin actually brought so many surprises to Budjuni.

He actually dared to open the warehouse and get equipment privately? He actually dared to directly stop the soldiers and arm them? He dared not obey the military orders and stayed in Sepetovka without authorization? No matter which crime was enough to make Lu Jin get shot. But now, Lu Jin relied on this method to actually defend Sepetovka and gave his side a big surprise.

"Report everything here to Moscow," Budonnie said: "Lujin is such a rare general."

Soon, Moscow received this news, and only surprises brought to Stalin.

Stalin was autocratic and wanted to let his subordinates have no brains and completely obey his orders, but during the war period, a flexible commander was also what he needed the most.

Now, Lu Jin gave Stalin a surprise. Although what he did violated military orders, it was beneficial to the entire battle situation.

Stalin looked at the map in front of him. At this time, the words Lujin Cluster had been marked on Shepetovka.

Now, no one knows how many people and weapons Lu Jin has, but in Lu Jin's hands, Shepetovka is still intact and in his own hands. Compared with those generals who only know how to escape, Lu Jin stands out.

"Send others to replace Lujin and transfer Lujin to defend Smolensk." Stalin took a puff of the smoke pot and said to his subordinates.

Now, for the base camp, Smolensk is the most important. Smolensk's security is related to Moscow's security. Now, with Smolensk as the core and running across the north and south, the Soviet Union barely established a line of defense, but no one can know whether this line of defense can block the Germans.

Since a powerful general like Lu Jin has emerged, it is better to let Lu Jin execute his original order and come and guard Smolensk quickly.

War is cruel, and for those who are capable, war is a touchstone, allowing those who are capable to shine like gold.

Before receiving the transfer order, Lujin held on to the small town of Shepetovka for three days. During these three days, the Italian army launched fierce attacks, and half of the city was destroyed, but Lujin's cluster still stood tenaciously in the city, especially guarding important railway lines.

Through the train station, a large number of supplies were transferred to Smolensk. After Lukin handed over the troops who came to reinforce, he left his troops to continue defending. He himself led his army headquarters to continue to rush to Smolensk.

For Lukin, the battle in Smolensk was even more difficult.

"What? Where is my people?" After getting off the train, Lu Jin wanted to find his 16th Army. Who would have thought that what he received was definitely bad news that he could not be bad anymore.

His troops had long been dismantled and filled in various places. His huge legion is now only one mechanized army and two infantry army.

Well, it sounds pretty good, at least I gave him some left, but these troops are empty shells, and all of them add up to less than one division!

what to do?

"We must organize the defense immediately, form a militia regiment, and organize all the people who can be mobilized!" There was no way, Lu Jin once again showed his old skills. In Shepetovka, he organized the defeated soldiers, and here, he could not even find the defeated soldiers, so he could only find the militia!

"General, we don't have enough weapons." Several of his confidants followed him. Ivan quickly reminded him that there were no weapons!

When they were in Shepetovka, they opened the arsenal directly, so there were quite a lot of weapons and equipment, but now that they came to Smolensk, they could not do whatever they wanted.

"I'll solve the problem of weapons." Lu Jin said: "Now we organize manpower first and start training immediately. We don't have much time!"

The German armored troops were advancing towards Smolensk. They had to train the militia regiments to fight before the Germans arrived. As for weapons, Lu Jin could only ask for them.

Lu Jin was still preparing anxiously, but the Germans did not give him much time.

Wolf's den.

As the war progressed, the wolf cave gradually played its due role. Now, every battle and advancement on the front line will be marked on a large-scale map inside the wolf cave headquarters without delay.

Every senior general had a smile on his face, and so far, everything was going well.

"After our reorganization, the Italian army has become more heroic and good at fighting," said Scherna. "They are still fighting fiercely in Shepetovka, and they must rely on their own strength to conquer the city."

The noodle army finally became tough, which made Cyric feel relieved. To defeat the Soviet Union, it was obviously not enough to rely solely on the German army. It was necessary to mobilize the army widely. The combat effectiveness of the Italian army was definitely good news for us.
