The German attack was quite fierce. After the light of the day, the German troops were in a rush.

The three-way army and 20000 tanks soared on the vast land of the Soviet Union.

Take the Middle Route Army as an example. After dawn, it is divided into two directions, led by the second armor cluster and the third armor cluster, and the main attack force is the fast-moving tanks. It makes rapid progress from suwauki Province in East Prussia and Brest fortress in Warsaw towards yawastok protrusion and Minsk in the East, If you look at it from the map, it's like two outstretched arms that surround the central part of Belarus.

When their main forces meet in Minsk, more than 600000 troops of the western special military region of the Soviet Union in the whole Belarus region will be surrounded.

At present, the situation on the front line is undoubtedly not optimistic.

Due to the sudden attack, the German forces rarely encountered large-scale organized resistance and counterattack during the initial attack. The troops stationed in various localities must unite and twist into a rope in order to have combat effectiveness. However, at present, the troops of the whole western special military region have not received any orders. They can only exchange sporadic fire with the German army in their own defense area, and are waiting for the battle command from the front army command of the Western army.

The situation on the front line is chaotic, and senior Soviet commanders in the Kremlin are also judging the situation ahead.

Obviously, such a huge military invasion by the Germans can not be stimulated by their own thunderstorm plan. The military scale of the Germans needs to be mobilized at least half a year in advance.

We were all cheated by the Germans.

Now, it's no use saying this. The Germans launch attacks at the same time on such a long front. Do they have enough strength, or do they have a main attack and a feint? What are their strategic goals?

"We haven't contacted the western special military region yet." An adjutant came in and reported to Zhukov.

Looking at the large-scale map, the blue arrows drawn on it are the known attack sequence of the German army. However, the intelligence gathered by several limited reconnaissance aircraft is not accurate.

Even so, Zhukov still smelled something from the middle.

"Now, our western special military region is very dangerous." Zhukov said to Stalin, "now, the Germans are attacking in two ways in our central region, Belarus."

Pointing to the map above with the command post, Zhukov analyzed: "in the middle of these two offensive forces, they are the main force of our western special military region. These forces are currently stationed or camping. Their deployment depth is too shallow. Moreover, they can't attack or defend here. If the German army quickly encircles from the two wings, the three group armies inside will be easily eaten by the Germans. "

Zhukov did not trust Pavlov. Up to now, he has no idea of the overall situation. Moreover, the German attack was so fierce that Pavlov might have been knocked unconscious.

Stalin also frowned: "then immediately contact Pavlov and ask him to organize troops to stop the German attack and cut off the German attack arm."

"But we can't reach Pavlov. He's not in the special military region headquarters." Zhukov said helplessly.

At this most critical time, as the commander of the whole western special military region and the on-site commander who collided with the Germans in the first wave, Pavlov was not in his post!

No one knows where Pavlov is now. The German attack has been premeditated for a long time. Many telephone lines have been cut off, and the communication soldiers have been assassinated, resulting in chaos.

But at least Pavlov should be at his headquarters. Where has he gone?

At this time, Pavlov, who was talked about by Moscow, had come to the station of the 13th group army and summoned all the senior commanders of the group army.

"This is our most crucial battle. We must summon up courage and defeat the enemy with the belief of victory. Our Soviet army is the most powerful and our tanks are also the most advanced. Now, let's unite around the Party Central Committee with Stalin as the core..."

Pavlov's speech lasted for more than two hours. During these two hours, emergency war reports kept coming, but no one dared to hand it to Pavlov.

Later generations evaluated Pavlov. Some people said he was wronged. After all, few of the first wave of troops entering the battlefield survived, depending on who caught up and who was unlucky.

However, Pavlov is still to blame. At this most critical time, he was not in his front army headquarters, but in a group army headquarters on the front line. He was stupid.

In his eyes, the most important thing now is to cheer everyone up and strengthen his belief in victory. As the commander of the western special military region, he is actually doing the task of an officer of the propaganda section.

General Pavlov was promoted too quickly and assumed too much responsibility before he had the corresponding ability. During the Spanish Civil War, he was just a tank soldier. He had no overall concept at all.

In the western special military region, he was even more incompetent. The two most elite group armies went too far to the biavistock protrusion and did not have enough reserves. In the complete works of the air force, it has become a good target for the enemy at a few airports.

Moreover, now, after the war began, Pavlov actually ran to a group army, which is tantamount to giving up the overall command of the front army. Exacerbated the chaos. The losses of hundreds of thousands of troops were counted on him and were not wronged.

Just when the 14th mechanized army on the front line was slaughtered by German tank forces, in their south, the 9th mechanized army of the southwest front army was still hurrying along.

In the direction of Ukraine, Germany also launched a large-scale attack, and the 9th mechanized army was ordered to march towards wallensky new town, Rovno and Lutsk.

"Come on, come on, we must reach our position according to the command of the headquarters!"

The 9th mechanized army is arranged in the rear, but now they are ordered to rush to the front line urgently, and their troops will be exhausted.

The 35th tank division is a mechanized unit. They can advance in the field and leave the road to their brother unit, the 131st motorized infantry division.

At this time, carrying their own equipment, the infantry comrades were panting.

The trucks in the establishment have no influence at all. Their motorized army is a pure infantry.
