Imperial Overlord

Khrushchev followed a few people who were protecting him and fled the large army that was protecting him in such an embarrassing manner.

Behind them, the fighting Soviet soldiers didn't know that when they were desperate, the people they wanted to protect had already abandoned them.

The gunfire of the Soviet **** was dense, attracting more and more nearby German troops. A Panzer No. 4 belonging to Army Group North all drove over and joined the carnage under the protection of the infantry.

The remaining Soviet troops fought less and less, and they couldn't find the Khrushchev they wanted to protect. The encirclement was in chaos, and the remaining Soviet troops fell into despair.

Some people are looking for the missing Khrushchev and the commander, while others are desperately trying to consolidate the defense line.

Originally, if they retreated and left, they might have moved before the German army gathered, at least they could be entangled for some more time.

But because they did not dare to retreat indiscriminately, they held on to one place for too long, and were surrounded by German troops coming from all directions. In the end, they ran out of ammunition and food and were completely wiped out.

The Soviet soldiers here were not all dead, and Khrushchev and others over there ran into the building they chose.

Although Moscow has experienced war and most of the buildings have been destroyed, this building is lucky, it seems that it has not been greeted by artillery shells, so it still stands in the ruins.

The civilians in the city of Moscow did not all retreat and leave, and many were forced to stay and suffer in this war hell.

Many of the civilians who remained were incorporated into the civilian armed forces and ordered to be sent to death by Khrushchev.

As a result, when the Soviet army collapsed, these civilian armed forces lost their weapons and went into hiding, which once triggered the Soviet army's own collapse, causing incalculable losses.

And those Soviet civilians who were once distributed with weapons have now returned to their homes, or hid in the ruins of uninhabited houses, and have become left-behind refugees in the city.

They have children and old people, women and middle-aged people because the standards for recruiting soldiers were so broad at that time that it was impossible to tell whether these people were real civilians by looking at their basic characteristics.

The Germans are generally too lazy to tell the difference. As long as they turn in their weapons and are willing to cooperate, they are generally treated as civilians.

However, if a German army disappears or dies in a certain area, the German army will mercilessly deal with the civilians in the entire area without leaving any trouble.

A pathfinder officer walking in front pushed open the door of the building, and immediately saw several women in ragged clothes, looking at the intruders with numb eyes.

He smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "Can you place a few people? We have no ill intentions."

As he asked, he moved the small pistol in his hand behind him, indicating that he had no intention of hurting them.

"There are no soldiers here..." An old man walked out on crutches, squinted at Khrushchev and the others who walked into the door of the building, and said, "The Germans are right next door, they are always there. Might come over..."

In the morning, some German soldiers had just come here. They checked the building, confiscated the weapons of these civilians, left some rations and left.

Now it's fairly safe here. At least the Germans didn't reveal that they wanted to kill or arrest people. They took in some Soviet soldiers with weapons. They were obviously looking for trouble for themselves.

It's not that he's not patriotic, and it's not that he doesn't want to help. It's just that the war has destroyed them and they are insensitive. Now in their hearts, living is the most important thing.

Although they love their country, when the enemy comes, their country brutally drives them to the battlefield, regardless of their life or death.

After experiencing a brutal battle and surviving and escaping back here, they are no longer in the mood to sacrifice their lives for this country.

In other words, the heroes who are willing to die for their country and freedom have already died in battle, and the rest are cowards, ordinary people who endured humiliation and survived...

"Give us some clothes, and if you can, share some food for us... Let's take a break and change into clothes before leaving!" The general who supported Khrushchev pleaded.

This request is not excessive. The old man nodded, and then motioned to a few women to help them get some clothes out and change them.

In fact, most of the common people are like this. They are willing to help others when they can, but they are not willing to take too many risks.

It doesn't mean that their morals are inferior, nor does it mean that they are unwilling to help their country. It's just that more people will subconsciously choose to be submissive.

After all, if everyone can stand up and fight the enemy's bayonet with his own chest, then the heroic deeds that have been preached throughout the ages would be nothing to brag about.

The rations left by the Germans were used to cook some food for Khrushchev and several others. These civilians found some inconspicuous clothes and gave them to Khrushchev and others.

After eating and resting for more than ten minutes, before they took the initiative to leave, a group of German troops passed by outside the building.

Because most of the Soviet troops have been annihilated~www.wuxiaspot.com~, these German troops are not too vigilant. Most of the German soldiers leaned against the wall outside the building to smoke, and some German soldiers squatted and chatted by the wheels of the armored vehicles that covered them.

This situation terrified Khrushchev and others, because they could see the German soldiers with weapons, laughing and joking through the window.

Several German non-commissioned officers walked into the building with submachine guns on their backs, and then used Russian weapons on the old men and several women who were guarding the corridor.

Asked in Russian: "Has any soldiers escaped here?"

The fool also knew how to answer. The old man and several women immediately shook their heads, indicating that they did not know such a thing.

"If a soldier comes here, you should inform us... Hidden dangerous soldiers will be hanged." The non-commissioned officer threatened with a cigarette between his fingers.

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, and several women wiped their tears and shook their heads.

However, since everyone has come here, there was a lot of gunfire just a block away, so the necessary inspections are still to be done.

The non-commissioned officer took another puff of his cigarette, pointed upstairs and instructed several soldiers who followed: "Take someone up and take a look! If you have weapons, remember to collect them!"

Most of the weapons collected for the first time were voluntary. But if gunshots are heard in a certain block, and the re-inspection is carried out strictly and the weapons are found at that time, it will be very troublesome and will pay the price of life...
