Imperial Overlord

"Comrade Marshal! Think of a way! The German army is less than 1 km away from here! If we don't think about it, we will be finished!" A general begged bitterly outside the door.

After 30,000 troops surrendered, soon, the Soviet troops near the port also surrendered their weapons. It turned out that not everyone can persevere in the end.

Marshal Voroshilov insisted that the general situation in Leningrad was gone, because he had no reserves, and all the troops were sent out to replace the surrendering troops and withstood the already broken defense line.

The German army has controlled most of Leningrad, and in many areas, the German army is strengthening its defense lines.

If it wasn't for some soldiers who would rather die than give in to resist or flee, perhaps Marshal Voroshilov would not have noticed after the German army took over two-thirds of Leningrad.

Now, there are less than 70,000 troops in the hands of Marshal Voroshilov, and they are forced to defend the remaining urban areas, and their troops are obviously insufficient.

Even worse, the areas they defended were no longer the ports and railway areas that the Germans wanted, so it didn't matter whether they surrendered or not.

No matter how much they resisted, the Germans could easily block their counterattack, destroy their positions, and drive them further to the periphery.

Thinking of this, Marshal Voroshilov, who was sitting in the basement room, felt that he was really a failure.

He was determined to fight for his country, determined to hold out for Stalin until the very last moment, but until the end, he was not able to achieve the level he hoped.

Leningrad will eventually be occupied by the German army, and it will be difficult for him to escape the fate of dying here.

Listening to the voice outside the door, he was very depressed and desperate. Some decadently stood up and looked at the pistol on the table.

He knew that Brother Timoshen committed suicide, and in fact this was the best destination he could choose.

So these days, he's scrutinizing his pistol a lot, hypnotizing and numbing himself to get ready for the last minute.

Not everyone has the courage to commit suicide, which needs to be cultivated slowly, step by step towards despair.

Paul Hauser was dispatching troops at the same time. His purpose was very simple. While separating important ports and railway stations with troops, he eliminated the recalcitrant Soviet troops in the city.

He drew up a plan for himself to capture Leningrad for three days. After all, if you take it down one day earlier, you can rebuild it one day earlier.

All German high-level officials know a truth. In fact, Germany was not ready for war when it went to war with the Soviet Union.

This preparation, in fact, also includes the road conditions in the Soviet Union. The German army was unable to transport supplies to the front line in a timely and sufficient manner, which was the main problem restricting the German blitzkrieg.

A large number of substandard roads, sparse railways and different regulations have led to a multi-fold increase in the strategic depth of the huge Soviet state.

The difficulty of transportation and the huge land area made it a fatal weakness for the German army, which was not highly mechanized, but emphasized high-mobility operations.

Now, taking Leningrad, you can make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent. And for the unprepared German army, any little improvement is another step towards victory.

"Let the sappers and the floating dock transported from Wilhelmshaven be in place quickly! Construction can start immediately after the mine clearance!" He put down the documents in his hand and instructed his staff.

Marshal Loeb, the commander-in-chief of Army Group North, handed over the command of Leningrad to General Ernst Busch.

The commander of the street fighting in the city is Paul Hauser. The SS troops under his command now have control of the port and the railway station.

The rest of the area is a residential area and other neighborhoods, and there is no need to worry about damage or scruples.

Therefore, for the German army, the battle is no longer the focus of the current center, and has been placed on the reconstruction work, especially the reconstruction work of the port terminal.

Floating docks have been used countless times, so there is no difficulty. The long-established floating dock has been prepared in the military port of Kiel and can be shipped tomorrow.

As long as those floating docks are transported to Leningrad for sinking, part of the loading and unloading functions of the docks can be realized.

Leningrad is a large port in the Soviet Union, so as long as the waterway is dredged, the mines are drained, and some docks are rebuilt, cargo can be handled.

"Build a fixed defensive belt around the port! We don't need to take risks, the Soviets may counterattack without giving them any chance." After approving the report of the 20th Division organizing defenses near the port, Paul Hauser continued said.

Then he glanced at the armored commander who had just arrived in Leningrad by his side, and said, "Since you have been added to my troops, go to the front to see!"

He turned his head to the side and said to the staff officer on the side: "Arrange the armored battalion newly added to our imperial division to the dock and let them get used to it."

Although under normal circumstances, high-ranking German commanders are reluctant to let their tanks enter urban street battles, but Paul Hauser has other plans.

Let the newly arrived troops get in touch with the battle in such a situation that the victory is in their hands, which can improve the adaptability of the troops.

If the loss is too great, he can also calmly remove the troops, so as not to waste resources.

On the other side, in the Soviet headquarters, Marshal Voroshilov finally opened the door of his room and saw his men outside the door.

His haggard face made him look like he might faint at any time, and a pair of equipped eyes swept across the crowd slightly dull.

"Organize all the forces! Let's fight back in the direction of the port! Take back there~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and blow up everything that can be bombed!" He gritted his teeth and said his plan.

He didn't plan to let the Germans occupy the port that was still intact. He planned to use the troops that were already insufficient in his hand to finally create some trouble for the German army.

After saying this order, he looked at his chief of staff: "Maybe you are right, we should have surrendered earlier."

Voroshilov looked at his chief of staff and squeezed out an apologetic smile: "But I don't want to accept failure, let you die with me, sorry..."

"There's no need to apologize. After we die in battle or capture the pier, it's too late." The chief of staff reluctantly squeezed out a smile. Although he wanted to surrender, he was not a coward who wanted to surrender. .

Before he wanted to surrender, he wanted to save the lives of his army of hundreds of thousands. Now he is willing to fight because he wants to preserve the integrity of his soldiers if he fails to surrender.

Sometimes people are so contradictory, so contradictory that they don't even have a firm stand...
