Chapter 1623 Cuikov's Loyalty

Stalingrad.

"Moscow has fallen." Khrushchev's face was extremely gloomy. Now, the main defenders of Stalingrad are all gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Khrushchev was smoking a cigar, and the whole room was soon filled with smoke.

Everyone's heart is very sad, what does the fall of Moscow mean, needless to say?

"I heard that hundreds of thousands of defenders in Moscow were burned to death." The speaker was Major General Rodimtsev, the commander of the 13th Guards Division, and his words were also very low: "No one survived, they even There are no corpses, they are all burned to ashes, just like our Urals industrial area."

"At the beginning, bombing Germany was a bad move. We could have persevered, but those guys in Moscow thought they could use bombing to make the Germans submit. What happened? Now, the Germans have begun to use this terrible massacre recklessly. It can be said that the next step of the Germans will definitely be used against us!" Lieutenant General Gulov also spoke, and his words were even more fearful.

Now, Moscow is gone, and the Ural Mountains Industrial Zone is gone. Stalingrad is still resisting.

In addition to the important geographical location, the most prominent thing here is the city named after the great leader, which must have been on the blacklist of the Germans long ago.

No matter how they fought before, they were not afraid, but now?

Now it's different, because the Germans won't come to fight at all, the Germans will just use bombs to blow this place to the ground and burn everyone to death.

The others did not speak.

Lieutenant General Cuikov, the commander of the 62nd Army, did not speak either. He knew in his heart that since Khrushchev came here, both Gulov and Rodimtsev and Khrushchev had been fighting hotly. Now, When the two said this, it represented what Khrushchev meant.

Without Khrushchev's affirmation, who would dare to say that? Khrushchev was ordered by Comrade Stalin to come here to supervise the army. Anyone who was not determined to fight would be shot by Khrushchev.

Now, no one dared to say retreat, and Cuikov was also wondering, what did the two of them mean by saying this?

What does Khrushchev want to do?

Finally, Khrushchev poked the cigar in his hand into the ashtray beside him, and he spoke slowly.

"We can't win this war." As soon as Khrushchev's words came out, everyone was stunned, even Khrushchev said so?

"We are not afraid of fighting, but we can't die directly in the bombing of the Germans. That is the most stupid act." Khrushchev said: "Also, there are hundreds of thousands of citizens in the city, and they are all innocent. , we can't let them die together in the German bombing."

"Then we retreat?" Gulov said: "Let's retreat back to the Ural Mountains area and continue the war of resistance?"

Khrushchev shook his head: "No, we are now relying on the city, and we can still persevere. As long as we leave the city, it will be wiped out soon, not to mention that we may encounter Germans along the way, or even The Turks outside can catch up and bite us. We can't retreat at all."

If you can't retreat, staying here is also waiting to die, so what else can you do?

At this moment, an idea suddenly popped into Lieutenant General Cuikov's head, and he was stunned in an instant. After a long time, he turned out to be surrendering!

So many reasons in front are all paving the way for the final surrender?

Comrade Stalin is really blind. Let Khrushchev lead the entire defense of Stalingrad and rectify military discipline. But now, when the Soviets are in danger, the first person to surrender is Khrushchev. It's a great irony.

Immediately, contempt flashed in Cuikov's eyes. Although he was promoted by Khrushchev, now, in Cuikov's eyes, Khrushchev is a clown.

Cuikov was born in February 1900 in a peasant family in the village of Serebryaneprud in Tula Province. The poverty of the family made him run away from home at the age of 12, and came to Petersburg to earn money and start a self-supporting life.

Later, in 1917, he was a trainee sailor with the Kronstadt Mineman Corps. After catching up with the great historical change of the Russian October Revolution the following year, he entered the Moscow Military Instructor Training Course of the Red Army and became the first trainee.

In particular, in the training class, Cuikov also met the great revolutionary leader Lenin and listened to his speech, which made Cuikov very excited. From that time on, defending the Soviets was Chuikov's firmest belief.

Later, Cuikov always grew up in the fire of war. He participated in the civil war and won two Orders of the Red Banner. He later entered the Frunze Military Academy for further studies. After finishing his studies, he went to Huaxia in 1927 as a military adviser to China.

This was until the Great Patriotic War started, and Cuikov finally returned to the motherland. After returning, he was ordered to come to Stalingrad to fight in the 64th Army.

Later, when Khrushchev took office, Cuikov was appointed commander of the 62nd Army, replacing General Lopatin who believed that the army could not hold Stalingrad.

At that time, Cuikov thought that Khrushchev was very patriotic, but now, he saw that Khrushchev was also a speculator. Seeing that the situation was not good, he actually wanted to surrender.

Maybe he forgot what he said at the beginning? When he appointed himself commander of the 62nd Army, he once said, "I swear I will never leave this city, and I will do whatever it takes to hold on. I am determined to hold the city or die in battle."

He decided he would not leave, and he would never surrender!

Cui Kefu looked around, almost everyone lowered their heads, so Cui Kefu knew that he could only do it himself.

Although Khrushchev is the supreme commander here, if Khrushchev intends to surrender, he will not let him go!

"Stomach hurts." Cui Kefu suddenly clutched his stomach: "The potatoes I ate this morning may be undercooked."

With that, he bent down and walked outside.

Now, most of the troops in the urban area belong to the 62nd Army. As long as Cuikov returns to his own troops, there is nothing to be afraid of. Once Khrushchev says he wants to surrender, he can bring his troops back at any time to bring the Rushchev to control it!

Dare to rebel against the Soviets? And his son is a virtue!
