I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 47 The situation is over
In the end, the colonel had no choice but to give in and let the lieutenant go.

However, all the food and drinks were confiscated, and even the horse meat in the pot was packed up and taken away by the military police.

When they left, Jingke felt that the spirits of these soldiers had collapsed, as if their long-standing belief in fighting for the country had collapsed in an instant.

There was a seriously injured soldier who, while people around him were not paying attention, hooked the trigger of the rifle with his toes and committed suicide by swallowing the gun.

Everyone just walked over and covered his head with a piece of cloth, and there was nothing they could do.
But Jingke understood that this was a complete despair about the future.

Lin Chen, who had been promoted to sergeant, saw all this through the eight-fold scope on his sniper rifle in the ruins not far away.

He initially wanted to hunt down the colonel, but later he gave up the idea.

Because he saw the colonel snatching food from a tiger's mouth, he even wondered how stupid the German high-ranking officials had to be to do such a thing?
Isn't this forcing the people below to become disloyal?
However, this is also what the Soviet army would like to see most.

When Lin Chen came back and told Pavlov about this discovery, Pavlov and others were very excited. The end of the German army was approaching, and the reinforcements were blocked on the southern front and could not advance an inch.

Now they have started fighting among themselves again, and their complete destruction may not be far away.

Pavlov immediately ordered the radio operator to report today's important discovery to the division headquarters, and Lin Chen also put forward two very good suggestions.

The division headquarters did not call back, but the 62nd Army Headquarters did call back personally. The message highly praised the value of this intelligence and expressed the recommendation that all of it be approved!
The next day, two PE2 light bombers flew over from the direction of the Volga River, but they did not drop bombs over the German army. Instead, they dropped many leaflets.

The above content is nothing more than that the reinforcements have been completely defeated, and you are already trapped! Surrender early and you can reunite with your loved ones! Stop working for the FXS government.

Is this method effective? I can only say it is average.

Because the German army quickly issued an order that all Soviet leaflets must be handed in, and anyone who kept them privately would be charged with treason.

But this was exactly the effect the Soviet army wanted, because the German army not only confiscated the leaflets, but also went so far as to explain to all officers and soldiers that reinforcements would arrive soon and as long as they held on, there was hope.

Then General Chuikov was very resourceful. He transferred a group of "righteous" German prisoners from the southern front overnight and repeatedly carried out propaganda in German on various fronts in the city of Stalingrad.

The content simply means: I have been captured, and there is no point in getting reinforcements.

This immediately caused the German soldiers on the front line to completely collapse, but the German high-ranking officers were helpless, because you can confiscate leaflets, but can you confiscate ears?

The next day, Lin Chen's second suggestion was also very effective.

At many positions on the front line, the Soviet army began to cook food on a large scale, and the aroma spread everywhere. How could the starving German soldiers bear this?
They immediately organized a team to charge and grab the items, but they were ruthlessly harvested by the Soviet firepower points that had been prepared long ago.

Occasionally, when the German army was able to overcome all difficulties, drive away the Soviet army, and rush into the position to prepare for a feast, the Soviet army would directly cover them with Katyusha rocket launchers, and resolutely prevent the German army from having a free meal.

After experiencing the baptism of blood and rain, the German army finally understood one thing: it was unreliable to rely on robbery.

At this time, the Soviet position shouted again that as long as they came to surrender, they would be given enough food and drink, and any injuries would be treated.

This was undoubtedly another way of life for the desperate German soldiers.

Of course, the prerequisite for doing so is to give up all the beliefs and convictions they have previously established.

The effect of the first two days was not good, but a few days later, as the temperature in Stalingrad dropped sharply again, the German troops in the encirclement became even worse. The most fatal thing was that the Soviet army's "Little Saturn" plan, which started in late December, progressed very smoothly. By the end of December, the Southwestern Front had advanced 12-12 kilometers and reached the rear of the enemy's "Don" Army Group.

苏军歼灭意军5个师又3个旅，击溃罗马尼亚军队5个师和德军1个师，另有德军4个步兵师和2个装甲师受到重创。

In order to stop the breakthrough of the Southwestern Front, the German High Command was forced to exhaust its reserves for the attack on Stalingrad and gave up the attempt to rescue the group encircled in Stalingrad.

The living conditions of German officers and soldiers in the encirclement continued to deteriorate.

When the military horses were finally slaughtered, the meager airdropped supplies could not solve the problem at all.

Countless German officers and soldiers died every day from hunger, disease and cold.

Morale also became increasingly low. During the siege, more than 6 members of the 360th Army were sentenced to death for refusing to fight and showing a sense of defeat.

In desperation, Jingke was forced to find someone to smooth things over, and hurriedly boarded a plane to the rear, saying that he urgently needed to return home for treatment for his leg injury.

Starting from early January, German frontline soldiers began to surrender to the Soviet army in large numbers, carrying weapons and ammunition, and some even surrendered as a whole.

Despite repeated strict prohibitions from the German Sixth Army Command, the practice still persisted.

Anyone could see that the final collapse of the German army was not far away.

At this moment in the Pavlov Building, all the Soviet soldiers were gathered together eating and drinking.

Now that logistical supplies have been completely opened up, the number of German officers and soldiers surrendering and laying down their weapons from the opposite train station has obviously increased.

Pavlov and others were deeply moved when they saw these once invincible invaders willing to abandon their military dignity in order to get a small piece of bread and a small bowl of potato soup.

"I think it's time to launch a counterattack! We must take back the railway station and every inch of land that belongs to us in Stalingrad!" Pavlov said with great enthusiasm.

"Comrade Pavlov, I just asked a few German officers and soldiers who surrendered. There is only one lieutenant officer and a dozen defeated soldiers left in the train station. Do you think we should persuade them to surrender? If we can do it without bloodshed, it will be a good start."

There is some basis for what Lin Chen said. Although the morale of the surrounded German troops was low, they were, after all, well-trained elite German troops.

If we attack with all our might, the casualties will definitely be huge.

"Who should we send? And are you sure?" Pavlov looked worried.

Lin Chen glanced at Pavlov, then smiled faintly.
"Are you crazy? You are the 'ghost' they hate the most. How many of them have died at your hands? They will skin you alive if you go there." Pavlov and others were stunned.

"No, I think it's quite the opposite. I killed them on the battlefield. If they were real professional soldiers, they would know what was going on. The most important thing is that they need a way out, and I am the most suitable person to provide that way out."

Thanks to many friends for their monthly tickets and recommendation votes. There are so many people that I won’t list them all. I will express my sincere gratitude in the remarks when the product is put on the shelves in the future.

This Sunday, the second round of recommendations will be given to me. I hope that everyone will continue to support me. It is not easy to write this book. It has to avoid crossing the line (will be blocked) and still be worth reading. It is really difficult.
