Imperial Overlord

Inside the underground bunker, German soldiers appeared! This matter has been known to the top of the Moscow defenders, and they have no good way.

The German attack was unstoppable, and the city's defenses collapsed just as expected.

Once two-fifths of the city was occupied by the Germans, the rest would collapse like a blowout.

This kind of collapse cannot be stopped. It is completely under the control of the troops and the consumption of materials is determined.

In a moment of collapse like this, there are separate Soviet soldiers everywhere, without reinforcements or effective command. You can only rely on your own courage to entangle with ten times the German army.

Resistance from the heart is messy, which is why once the army collapses, the remnants of the army are almost slaughtered because they lose their basic judgment on the battle situation and have no hope.

"Comrade General Konev, Moscow is over... The Germans are attacking too fast, we will be caught by them in a few days at most." A general stood in front of Konev and persuaded: "Take advantage of the mess, get out of here..."

Although the German army has surrounded the entire Moscow, Moscow is really too big. As long as they disguise themselves, it is entirely possible for them to mix in with the civilians and leave here in troubled waters.

As for where to go after leaving here, the general never thought about it. But what he thought was that at least he could leave the German occupation zone.

"I can't leave here at all... This is my home." Konev smiled bitterly and said in the dim basement.

Outside the door of his office, the guards are desperately burning related documents, including some troop statistics and some personnel files.

Photos of many high-ranking Soviet commanders are also revealed, and among the burned documents Konev did not want them to be arrested, he hoped that these people could leave here safely.

However, this hope is really very slim. At the same time that large swathes of Moscow fell, these front-line commanders also died in large numbers.

Although the Soviet Union did not have mandatory requirements and regulations such as Japanese militarism education, Stalin still signed the war bill, ordering the commander not to surrender to the German army.

Under the influence of this order, coupled with the loyalty and bravery of the top Soviet leaders, a large number of Soviet commanders chose to die in battle or commit suicide in their own positions.

For example, four-fifths of the commander of the 4th Infantry Division of the Soviet Guards, who had been broken through by the Germans and were struggling to the death, as well as their political commissars and regimental commanders committed suicide.

There were countless commanders killed at all levels, and many soldiers chose to commit suicide when they gave up their positions, which also caused the Soviet army to collapse faster.

The under-strength areas had to give up, while the strong-strength areas had a large number of soldiers committing suicide or launching suicide counterattacks.

There was chaos everywhere, and Konev lost effective control of the city. It is very strange to say that a few days ago, Moscow's defense was still overall and effective, and today it suddenly collapsed to such a point.

"The enemy has controlled some subway entrances, and the sappers blew up a section of the subway to stop their attack..." The general continued to persuade: "We can't hold on here any longer! Comrade General!"

"Then I can't leave either. This is my grave. A dead person can't leave his own grave!" Konev refused again.

The general in front of him had to open his mouth to persuade him again, but an officer walked in outside the door and interrupted the conversation between the two: "Comrade General! You'd better come and listen to this!"

"What?" Konev frowned, then followed the officer out of his office to the place where the radio was placed outside.

There, the radio was broadcasting an astonishing news, which made everyone who heard it stunned, not knowing what to say.

In the broadcast, the Soviet announcer repeated an order from Stalin over and over again in a sweet voice.

"The great leader of the Soviet Union... Comrade Stalin, Yu just... issued an order to promote... General Konev, who is guarding in Moscow, to be the Marshal of the Soviet Union!" In the broadcast, intermittently disturbing voices echoed throughout the underground bunkers. middle.

No one congratulated Konev, who was promoted to the marshal of the Soviet Union. Everyone looked at the gloomy Moscow Guard Commander, not knowing what to say.

Rokossovsky was promoted to Soviet marshal by Stalin after his death.

Everyone knows what Stalin's promotion means, and Konev himself understands it very well.

It's even less likely that he will choose to leave now, or surrender decently. All he can do now is to be burned to ashes with the city in front of him.

"Okay, you should applaud, congratulations to me or something? I am now the Marshal of the Soviet Union." Konev laughed in a self-deprecating manner, and then walked back to his office.

The lights inside, shaking overhead. The German artillery shells near Red Square were constantly challenging the Soviet army's unreliable generator system.

From a week ago, there have been frequent power outages here~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although the reserves of gasoline and diesel are still sufficient, the failure of the machine is still unstable, which is unavoidable.

"Crash, crash..." Everyone applauded expressionlessly, but they really couldn't say anything to congratulate.

When Moscow was at its most desperate, the distant homeland had no way to provide reinforcements, no way to send supplies, but a promotion that was not needed at all to block the way for a senior commander to surrender. It does sound tragic enough.

In real historical time and space, Hitler also did this once in Stalingrad, but Marshal Paulus under his command made a disgusting choice.

Konev was not Paulus, he preferred to choose to die in Moscow before. Now that he is the marshal of the Soviet Union, it is even more impossible to surrender and give up his honor.

"I don't have to think about it at all... Look, sometimes, others will make choices for you, don't they?" Konev looked at the general who persuaded him to escape, who was stunned and didn't leave, joking. said.

It's a pity that the general in front of him didn't smile, and Konev's stiff face didn't squeeze out a smile either...
