Chapter 1129 Pavlov Who Left without Permission (Plus 1)

"Crash, crash." The printing machine was turning the paper quickly, the smell of ink was floating in the air, and every printing worker was constantly fighting, and they had been working continuously for 20 hours.

One by one, the leaflets were continuously spit out from the terminal of the printing press.

Suddenly, the curtain outside the door was lifted, and a burly veteran appeared in the field of vision of the printing workers. When these workers saw the appearance of the veteran, they immediately shouted happily: "General Pavlov!"

Pavlov nodded and said, "Keep working, how many copies have you printed?"

"We have already printed 50,000 copies. Please send a car to the general to help us send these leaflets to the front line. We really have no time here."

Pavlov nodded: "Well, this is an important matter and must be done immediately."

He motioned to his men to make arrangements, and then took a leaflet.

The printing is fairly clear, with Russian as the main body on the top, and German as the annotation in small print below. These leaflets are all prepared for Germans.

The Soviets are powerful, and the German invasion will inevitably suffer a disastrous defeat. I hope you recognize the situation and surrender immediately! This is the general content of the flyer.

Of course, there is a lot of specific content, what is under the guidance of Comrade Stalin, etc. This leaflet, after seeing it, Pavlov personally ordered it to be printed quickly. I thought of a lot of ways. The printing organs of the 13th Army here are very busy.

At this time, Pavlov was not worried about defeating the Germans at all. The current Soviet is not the Soviet during the Spanish Civil War. In the Western Military Region, there are more than 600,000 people on his side, and the total number of Germans is only a few. ?

Pavlov smelled the scent of ink in the air, and said to the people on the side: "Your mission is very important, it is related to the reputation of our Soviet, you must not be afraid of hardship and fatigue, and print hundreds of thousands more copies, let Germany One captive per person is enough!"

After returning from the printing plant, they sat in the headquarters of the Thirteenth Army. Almost all of Pavlov's men were staff officers of the Thirteenth Army. At this time, they had already gathered news.

"We got reports that the Germans showed up in Nariburk Forest."

"No, no, the Germans only appeared in Beloza two hours ago!"

"We have received reports from the Mechanized Sixth Army that the Germans are attacking them violently!"

A piece of news finally came together, but these news are too general, with a number, very few troop sizes, and some of the information is even completely contradictory!

This made Pavlov extremely puzzled. Why are these pieces of news so general and contradictory?

However, almost all the battle reports have one thing in common. The German army was attacking so violently that it couldn't stand it any longer and asked for reinforcements!

When he just came back from the printing house, Pavlov was still confident, but now, Pavlov suddenly felt a panic.

Pavlov didn't know that the headquarters of his Western Special Military Region was already busy at this time. All the information was gathered in the Military Region Command, but Pavlov could not find it. In this way, any order would be Unable to download.

One by one, the signal troopers were riding horses and ran to the headquarters of the Thirteenth Army to report. However, when they spent an hour or two reporting, the situation on the front line had already changed, and their intelligence became waste paper.

Regarding this point, Pavlov himself has not yet figured out that he should immediately return to the military district headquarters and go there to command his troops. His leaving without permission was the biggest negligence.

And now, after thinking about the news one by one, he finally issued an order: "All troops, defend their positions, and wait for the opportunity to start a counter-offensive and defeat the German attack! Those who dare to retreat, engage in military law! "

Grodno.

This is located in the northwest of the Western Special Military Region. It is the direction of the attack of the Northern Corps of the German Central Group. Their main force, the 3rd Tank Group, has already continued to advance from here to the east, and from here, it separates to the south, towards Gro The advance in the Dno area was part of the 9th Army behind.

Historically, the establishment of the German 9th Army has been mobilized many times. There is no doubt that in the later period, the size and combat effectiveness of this army have shrunk significantly.

And now, as one of the main forces of the offensive, the 9th Army is very well staffed. It includes the 5th, 6th, 8th, 30th, and 42nd Army. The group army with five corps is definitely the main force of Germany. , who can command it is definitely the best among Junkers officers!

Adolf Strauss was one of the lucky ones. Like many senior commanders, he was a World War I veteran.

He joined the army in 1898, and after the end of the First World War he remained in the Weimar Wehrmacht as a member of the army of 100,000 people and was later promoted to major general.

When Germany began a magnificent battle, Strauss later commanded the 2nd Army and participated in the German invasion of Poland. After the French campaign, he became the commander-in-chief of the 9th Army garrisoned in France, and then transferred to Army Group Center to participate in Operation Barbarossa.

As a veteran, Strauss is quite envious of the advancing speed of the German armored group. He also knows his responsibilities. The armored group is responsible for charging forward, and he needs to be responsible for the battle behind.

To put it more simply, encircling the enemy depends on the mobility of the armored units, but in the end, it is up to oneself to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

The armored group in front was like a wedge, digging deeply into the enemy's position, and his troops were responsible for blooming on both sides, expanding the cracks, and finally completely smashing the opponent!

Now, following behind its own tank troops, the mission of the 9th Army has gradually begun.

"Order the 42nd Army to advance in the direction of Grodno according to the predetermined plan." Strauss gave the order in his command car.

Through radio waves, Strauss's order was quickly transmitted to the advancing 42nd Army. At this time, the 42nd Army, which was on a motorized march, began to move to its right side according to the pre-planned plan. The road is on.
