Chapter 161 Commander Bukarov's End
"If they cannot immediately repel the German air force and prevent all their new bombs from carrying out large-scale brutal massacres of our troops, he will not need to be the air commander!"
"Even if General Rokosovsky, Marshal Zhukov, or Comrade Stalin is willing to let him go, I, Bukarov, will never spare him!"
Looking at the increasingly miserable casualties, Commander Bukarov roared with blood red eyes and his face was extremely ferocious.
"We have called the commander of the 16th Air Force. They are now dispatching the La-7 fighter fleet and the Jacques-9 fighter fleet. However, because they are seconded from the 1st Air Force Army in the Western Front, the Bryansk Front Air Force, the 15th Army and the Southern Front Air Force, it will take some time to reach our battlefield!"
Tchailinfsky, the staff officer next to him, immediately replied.
"Didn't their 16th Air Force have a fleet of La-7 and Jacques-9?"
Commander Bukarov said furiously.
"Yes! But there are not many!"
Staff Officer Thailinfsky responded immediately.
"Then let's do it first. Now we must stop the German planes from bombing indiscriminately!"
Commander Bukarov pointed angrily at the sky, flew through the Soviet air force, and shouted with the German aircraft group with white phosphorus bombs.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than 10 C-130 transport aircraft suddenly appeared above them in the distance.
On one side, there is a fighter aircraft group of the 3rd Battalion of JG54, which is covering it.
Not long after, one cloud bomb after another was dropped from a height of 2,000 meters towards the Soviet troops on the ground.
Then I saw small bombs like cylindrical beer barrels in the sky, tied under a parachute and fell downwards.
As the crisp explosions exploded on the ground, the Soviet troops on the ground, which were still being destroyed by white phosphorus bombs suddenly felt the shaking like a destruction, and then the earth was instantly covered by balls of white mist-like gas.
Then there was a large-scale fire, and the earth was blown out with large black pits dozens of times larger than the standard football field. At the same time, the screams of the Soviet army who were killed by cloud bombs also resounded in the sky...
But all this soon became silent, and soon the battlefield positions where more than 10,000 Soviet troops stood changed into a shocking ruin.
In this scorched ruin, many Soviet soldiers were either suffocated or burned into black carbon, or opened their mouths and scratched their throats. The death was extremely terrifying...
Seeing such a sudden change, Commander Bukarov, who was still furious just now, and the staff officer Thailinfsky, who looked like a ghost; both of them were instantly stunned, standing still as if they were petrified...
They were as if their thoughts were short-circuited, their eyes wide open; they were stunned for a long time without belief.
When they found that there were less than 10,000 Soviet soldiers who could move around them, they took a breath of air conditioning in fear and came back to their souls.
"What kind of bomb is this! Our troops are gone! In less than a few minutes!"
Commander Bukarov, who had just come to his senses, immediately said in horror.
"It's the devil's bombs, they are the terrifying weapons given to the fascist Germans by Satan!"
Staff Officer Tchailinfsky was also trembling all over, and he was at a loss in fear.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! We will never be able to destroy all our troops here! Otherwise, our 13th Army Group will be gone!"
Commander Bukarov shouted hurriedly.
"Our main force of more than 50,000 is now less than 10,000 people left, and there are still a large number of German troops around the death. The German air force is dropping these devil bombs; to continuously annihilate the lives of our soldiers. Where else do you think we can withdraw?"
Staff Officer Tchailinfsky looked at the increasingly worse battle situation in front of him and the shocking battlefield where corpses were everywhere, and he said trembling all over.
“…”
Commander Bukarov, who heard this, didn't know how to answer the other party's words for a moment, could only remain silent.
"Ula!Ula! I'll fight with you! Fascist German army!"
After a while, Commander Bukarov was holding his pistol like a madman; he shouted loudly while rushing towards the German position.
"Don't go! Commander Bukarov!"
The pale-faced staff officer Thailinfsky shouted hurriedly after being so sane by Commander Bukarov.
Then he led a team of fully armed guards to chase after Commander Bukarov in the direction he rushed to.
Commander Bukarov ignored the actions of the staff officer Thailinfsky, because at this moment he had made up his mind to die on the battlefield.
Because he knew very well that his 13th Army had been severely damaged by his energy until now.
Although his total strength exceeds 110,000, and he was dispatched by General Rokosovsky to fight with tank troops for him; but in the face of Model's multi-faceted attacks and not in the battle deep into their defensive positions, as well as the terrorist attacks of white phosphorus bombs and cloud bombs, his 13th Army Group has now lost nearly half of his personnel.
Faced with such a huge battle loss rate, he would definitely be dismissed and investigated, or even cleaned up by Stalin.
Moreover, he still has a lot of feelings for the soldiers of his 13th Army Group.
But now they made their troops suffer heavy casualties because of their wrong judgment, underestimation of the enemy's strength, and wrong command of fighting. In other words, they have no face to face the dead Soviet soldiers now.
Although for him, war will kill people, and many more will die.
But for him, the 13th Army Group condensed a lot of his efforts, so he did not use these soldiers as tools on the battlefield to fight, and they died if they died, without any heartache...
It is precisely because he is not a cold-blooded leader like Stalin that he suddenly commits suicide-like behavior that is not in line with normal military officers.
Although he made a desperate charge at this moment, there was a big reason for this because he felt that he was at a desperate situation.
