The Third Reich in Desperation

While Pu'erkayev was listening, he was also gasping for air.

When Baghramyan began to read the telegram to himself, the chief of staff gave the other party a look with obvious distrust, then snatched the telegram and read it several times.

In the end, when the chief of staff finally believed that this bullshit order really existed, he looked at Kirponos speechlessly.

"What should we do?" Pulkayev's face turned green: "We should be thankful that we can organize a defense on the border, withstand the enemy's counterattack, and block it in the defensive battle, but Now the Presidential Command is asking us to take Lublin the day after tomorrow!"

"Besides, our mechanized army, how can there be any well-organized ones that can be used for attack? Among other things, we can't produce the troops required in this order alone!"

Kildunos just listened quietly, then silently stretched out his hand to take the document, and read it word for word once.

Then, he slowly made a hissing gesture to everyone, picked up the receiver of the phone and said, "Look for Vashukin from the Military Council, and ask him to come to me."

After receiving the notification, Vashukin, a member of the Military Council, quickly walked into the meeting room as energetic as usual.

Without any extra politeness, Kirponos handed him the order from the Presidential Command as soon as he came up.

After a few simple greetings with everyone, Vashukin quickly took the order and looked it over, and then he leaned back on the sofa chair in front of a group of people indifferently, and looked around at the generals present.

"I know that everyone finds it very difficult, but what can be done? Comrades, you have to execute the order after you receive it!" Vashukin said standing up and talking without back pain.

"That's what you say, Comrade Vashukin." Seeing that the other party didn't realize the danger and difficulty at all, Pulkayev went up and said: "But we are not ready for this kind of preparation. For the time being, we can only Think about defense instead of going on offense."

Vashukin bowed when he heard this, and did not respond to the chief of staff's explanation.

Puerkayev did not give up, but changed into a more resolute tone and continued: "Let us analyze the situation with a clear head. Only in the area between Lyubomli and Sokal in the direction of Lutsk, there are 10 enemies. Infantry divisions and tank divisions launched a counterattack step by step."

Pu'er Kayev paused, and then asked: "How can our army stop them? As far as I know, the 45th, 62nd, 87th, and 124th divisions of our infantry's main force now have only about two regiments left." to the scale. Other troops, the situation is even worse.

"Therefore," concluded Pulkayev, "tomorrow we can mobilize a total of less than seven divisions in this direction to deal with the enemy's army of more than ten divisions. How can we talk about an immediate attack?"

Vashukin tried to say a few words, but Pulkayev did not let him interrupt, and continued: "Besides, we should expect that the enemy will throw at most the first echelon of troops into the battle today, and will undoubtedly increase his forces in the next few days, and they will be stronger than ours. Much faster. You see," Puerkayev poked the map with a pencil: "Only here, northwest of Ust-Lug, our reconnaissance department found more than 16 enemy tanks concentrating at 200:[-]. And this was not the only area where enemy tank reserves were found.

Taking advantage of Pulkayev's moment of silence when he inspected the map, the member of the Military Council asked impatiently, "Have you finished all your talking? May I speak?"

"No, it's not over!"

Chief of Staff Puerkayev kept his eyes on the map and continued to use his insights: "The situation of our air force is even worse. There are almost no leftover border airports that have not been destroyed."

"In addition, our army can immediately concentrate and launch an attack on the enemy's main assault group, only the mechanized 4th and 8th armies."

"And we have to take into account that when we attack, we will also be subjected to continuous and intensive assaults by German aviation. In this case, it is almost impossible for us to attack successfully. In this case, even the attack is meaningless."

"The 316 fighters of the 4th Company of the 28th Division, due to their bravery and outstanding record, carried out a heroic charge on the German positions during the attack at 21 o'clock in the morning on the 18st, killing dozens of enemy soldiers, destroying and injuring the enemy There are [-] army tanks, so that our army's offensive momentum is maintained well, and the meritorious service is outstanding, and all the officers and soldiers are awarded collective second-class merit once!"

After announcing the news of the credits to the 28 "fake heroes" who were inexplicably called to the headquarters to accept the award, Pu'erkayev presented the commendation order with wet ink on his hand to their company commander with a smile on his face. Congratulations: "Now, you are the heroes of the Soviet Union, and we are all proud of you."

The company commander who accepted the commendation order accepted the document inexplicably, and before he had time to ask what was going on, he was driven away by Chief of Staff Pu'er Kayev.

"This is the honor that the headquarters has won for you. Don't say anything to the outside world. If there is nothing else, go back to the front line and wait for orders."

After leaving such a sentence, the chief of staff left 28 people behind, and hurriedly left the headquarters with the two staff officers who came from the conference room, and went to the conference room to attend an emergency meeting.

As for the 28 "fake heroes", Pu'er Kayev had already thought about it.Since Khrushchev and others sent from Moscow cannot get in touch with these so-called heroes, then these fake heroes must not be allowed to stay where they are easy to find.After thinking about it, sending these soldiers to the front line is the best way to hide.As for whether they died on the front line or lost contact, they will conceal this fraudulent act for the Southwest Front Army Command.

The matter of fake heroes is not what worries Pu'erkayev the most at the moment.It made him really worried, and before he even had time to explain some details in detail, he left where the fake heroes were and rushed to the conference room.

"How is it?" As soon as he entered the door of the meeting room, Puerkayev asked Kirponos and the Soviet Union impatiently.

"Let me answer this question." Colonel Baghramyan, who was also in the conference room, took two steps forward and said to Pu'erkayev.

Next, Baghramyan reported to the Chief of Staff that the Presidential Command requested the Southwest Front Army to use the 5th and 6th Army Group, at least 5 mechanized armies and all the air forces of the Front Army to carry out a concentrated assault on the general direction of Lublin, encircle and eliminate Radimir, the frontal attack of the enemy group from Vronsky to Krestnopol, orders to capture the Lublin area before the end of June 6, and so on.

While Pu'erkayev was listening, he was also gasping for air.

When Baghramyan began to read the telegram to himself, the chief of staff gave the other party a look with obvious distrust, then snatched the telegram and read it several times.

In the end, when the chief of staff finally believed that this bullshit order really existed, he looked at Kirponos speechlessly.

"Besides, our mechanized army, how can there be part-time full-timers that can be used for attack? Among other things, we can't get the troops required in this order alone!"

Kildunos just listened quietly, then silently stretched out his hand to take the document, and read it word for word once.

Then, he slowly made a hissing gesture to everyone, picked up the receiver of the phone and said, "Look for Vashukin from the Military Council, and ask him to come to me."

Text 719 Germany's Shadow Troops

While the Southwest Front Army Command was still arguing about the choice of offense and defense, the Soviet sentinel guarding a bridge over the Transnistria suddenly noticed a not-too-long but neat convoy coming from the road in the distance.

The car was full of soldiers, who looked wounded from the Soviet Army from the clothes they wore, and the marks and numbers of the front-line troops were also painted on the car.
