Romanian Eagle

Kirovograd’s resistance has continued, but the reinforcement they hoped for has never come, and Timoshenko in Alexandria is also worried about this.

To the north, the Northern Soviet Army, composed of the 19th Army and the 23rd Army, seemed to be interrupted after the first two divisions were devastated by the Romanian armored and cavalry units. Can not break through the enemy's interception. Moreover, its commander sent a telegram complaining that the enemy's armored division had been hovering on his flank, preventing him from fully attacking the enemy's interception.

In the south, the Soviet Army on the South Road, composed of the Seventh Army and the 34th and 41st Divisions, was also tragically blocked by the Romanian Army of the four divisions at a place called Dolinge, 20 kilometers away from Kirovograd.

As for the east side where his headquarters is located, he finally organized the forces of nearly three divisions in an attempt to relieve Kirovograd. But still to no avail, the Romanian division of the two divisions prevented their troops from moving forward.

The irritable Timothin brother called for the staff.

"Send a telegram to General Noorkov to the south and ask them when they can break through the enemy's interception and tell them that Kirovograd will not last long."

"Yes, Comrade Commander."

The staff officer who dared not come out quickly rushed to report like an escape.

After the staff went out, Comrade Moklov, the political commissar, came in. I saw him ask anxiously. "How is the battle now?"

Facing the inquiry from the political commissar, Timoshenko shook his head. "It still hasn't changed. At present, all ministries are blocked around Kirovograd and have been unable to break through the enemy's interception for a long time."

"Think of another way."

"I have sent a report to the frontline commanders, asking them to do their best to reinforce Kirovograd. But there is still no progress."

Hearing what Timothy had said, Moklov couldn't help suggesting. "Otherwise, the troops will be deployed to increase the attack."

Hearing the suggestion of the political commissar, Timothy said directly. "Where can I draw out troops now, my political comrade. At present, the troops in our military area are basically on the front line, and the troops left behind have been transferred to the minimum. There are no more troops."

It is also angry to think about it, the huge Kiev Military District has nearly 300,000 troops, and now it is impossible to draw people out.

But Moklov couldn't help but continue speaking after hearing what Timothy had said. "I also know that no troops can be drawn from the rear. I mean to draw some troops from each division on the front line, and then put them on the battlefield."

"This won't work. It's useless if the number of troops is small, and a large number of troops will affect the frontline problem. This is absolutely not going to work."

Faced with the political commissar's suggestion, Timothy immediately rejected it.

"We are quietly tuned to let them set off at night, it should be possible."

Moklov, who didn't give up, still insisted on his plan.

"Comrade Moklov, do you know the consequences of this?"

Seeing the political commissar insisted, Timuxin was also a little angry, only listening to his suppressed anger and said. "Let me analyze the consequences of doing this for you. First of all, the nearby troops that can be deployed within two days are only those on the border line that are still confronting the enemy. According to your plan, at least each division needs to be deployed. The regiment can be effective. And the mobilization of so many regiment-level troops can be said to be very difficult to conceal.

Even if the enemy did not discover it, as long as troops appeared to fight in Kirovograd, it would be impossible to keep this secret, and at this time the enemy would definitely launch an offensive against the border. If we fail to clear Kirovograd at that time, our troops will be very likely to be surrounded by the enemy. Such a great responsibility is enough to make us sinners of the Soviets. So, Comrade Political Commissar, don't mention such a suggestion. "

Hearing Timoshenko’s explanation, Moklov’s political commissar finally knew the terrible consequences, so he rarely defended himself. "The current situation of the war has not changed. I am afraid that Moscow will be impatient."

"I know this. If I lose the battle, I will take my responsibilities."

Hearing Temusing's words, Moklov's political commissar was almost out of breath. If you say you bear the responsibility, you should bear it, and Moscow must believe it. By then, neither of us will be able to run away.

Just as the political commissar Moklov was complaining in his heart, a red phone rang.

This made both of them look a little horrified. It's not that they are afraid of this red phone, but that this phone is connected to Moscow.

But it won't work if you don't answer, so Brother Timuxin still picked up the phone. Just listen to the voice of a middle-aged man with a Georgian accent on the phone. "Hey, is it Brother Timo Xin?"

This voice immediately regained his senses, and he quickly replied. "It's me, Comrade Stalin."

"Are there any difficulties for the troops?"

"No, Comrade Stalin."

"Then the battle must be resolved as soon as possible."

"Yes, Comrade Stalin."

Just a few words made Timoshing's back soaked.

"Who called?"

"It's Comrade Stalin."

Timoshenko's words made Moklov's expression even more horrified. "Comrade Stalin called to ask about the battle?"

"No, he only asked if my troops had any difficulties, and he asked me to resolve the battle as soon as possible."

Moklov's expression became even more ugly when he heard Timoshenko's answer. "It seems that Comrade Stalin already knows the current situation, and he is expressing his dissatisfaction."

"This is the current situation has shown that ~www.readwn.com~ the hope of winning is slim. It is good to be able to maintain an undefeated. Moreover, this battle also shows that our army has not yet reached the level of the imperial powers. I believe the committee members in Moscow should see it too."

Speaking of this, Brother Timosin had a thought in his heart, and that was what Stalin's last sentence meant. He didn't think that Comrade Stalin was far away in Moscow to express his concern, and through layers of transfers, just to ask his own troops if they had any difficulties. Then he must be dissatisfied with the result of the battle, so he needs to do something.

What the **** is it?

Brother Timoshenko couldn't figure out what he meant. In fact, it's not that you can't guess, but that you can't say something.

When Timoshenko was uncertain, the fighting in Kirovograd finally subsided. The Romanian army completely defeated the defenders and occupied this important city. The last formed unit was annihilated by the Romanian army.

And now the Soviet Union has fallen into a complete passivity in Ukraine, which made Timoshenko made up his mind. On the second day after the fall of Kirovograd, a telegram was sent to Moscow from Alexandria, the seat of his headquarters.
