Up to now, Stalin knew that the aggressive Germans had been prepared for a long time. Therefore, this war will be a difficult war. In the early stage of the war, the Soviet Union will even have some unacceptable situations, but Stalin believed that the victory belongs to the Soviet in the end.

There is no other reason, because in history, even in the Czar era, polar bears can be defeated, but they will never be conquered. How could Germany do what Napoleon did not do?

He did not know that Britain, which had never been destroyed in history, had been destroyed by Germany, although Britain still existed and was already a servant country of Germany.

Stalin still made a powerful speech. The country should fully turn to the wartime system, transfer all its forces to the production of weapons, and implement the rationing system. Next, the people's life may be difficult.

At the same time, he also called on the people to actively donate money and materials to support the just war of the Soviet Union. Stalin believed that the Soviet would not be conquered.

Coming out of the broadcasting room, Stalin stepped back into his headquarters and felt a little depressed.

"Comrade Stalin, it's very kind of you to come back." Tiemuxinge, chairman of the headquarters of the general command, greeted Stalin: "we have just received a report from the western special military region. The situation there is not very good."

On a large-scale map, the blue arrows indicate the German attack direction. Although it is not easy to explore the number of some troops because the front line is still in chaos, the general attack direction of the German army has emerged when these arrows are standardized.

"In other words, the Germans are now moving in two directions towards our Minsk. Once the Germans occupy Minsk, the siege will be formed. In this way, the three group armies in the prominent part of biavistock are in danger of falling into the German siege." Timoshin continued to explain.

This is also marshal Shaposhnikov's worry, and his worry has become the consensus of all present.

"In this case, we can't let our army continue to take risks." When Stalin looked at Zhukov, Zhukov said, "we must withdraw these troops in the protrusion to prevent being surrounded by the Germans. The Germans have adopted this tactic more than once on the battlefield in Europe."

Zhukov was also deeply worried. He clearly knew the strength of Germany's mechanized forces.

Stalin took a cigarette pot and sucked it. He continued to stare at the map for half an hour. Finally, he spoke: "the guards of the biavistock protrusion quickly withdrew to the original fortified area. The third and tenth group armies withdrew to the line of Lida, Slonim and Pinsk. "

With that, Stalin knocked his cigarette pot on the table, and the ash in it had been exhausted: "Pavlov, what the hell are you thinking? If Minsk is lost, the German army can easily reach Smolensk and even Moscow. If hundreds of thousands of Western troops were completely surrounded by the German army on the line of Minsk, a small biavistock protrusion. The entire Soviet Union will completely lose its geographical and military barriers. "

Stalin had a strategic vision. He had seen through all this: "it seems that there is a problem with our judgment. According to this situation, the German Legion in the south is not the main force of the attack, but the Legion in the middle is the most powerful. We must start to set up a defense line in Smolensk to prevent Belarus from losing."

Stalin already had a bad feeling.

Stalin's personal order soon reached the headquarters of the 13th army. When he heard this order, it was like pouring cold water on his head. Pavlov felt that his head was awake.

"The troops from the north and the south are attacking our capital Minsk." Pavlov said to marshal Shaposhnikov, "now, our Minsk is facing a security threat. What our troops in the biavistok protrusion need to consider is not how to counterattack, but how to avoid the imminent danger of the collapse of the whole army."

Pavlov finally understood, but marshal Shaposhnikov's face was meaningful. As the commander-in-chief of a front army, he still wanted to do these political tricks. It's really worrying.

What do you want to understand? Didn't you understand before? In the past, he just didn't dare to retreat. Now that Comrade Stalin's order to retreat came down, Pavlov dared to withdraw his troops. Now I just hope it's still time.

"Now, send my order immediately, withdraw the fourth, third and tenth group armies in the biavistock protrusion, stick to Minsk and be sure to protect the security of our capital." Pavlov said, and began to write his own orders.

Commanders of the 13th, 10th, 3rd and 4th Army groups:

Today, on the night of April 3, the retreat will begin no later than 21 o'clock. All departments should be prepared to take tanks as the vanguard and cavalry and powerful anti tank defense forces as the guard.

……

The March should be carried out day and night under the cover of a strong guard. Shake off the enemy on a vast front

……

It should jump more than 60 kilometers in one day and night

……

Allow troops to make full use of local tools and collect any number of horse drawn carts

……

Watching Pavlov write orders, marshal Shaposhnikov on one side has the impulse to beat him on the table. Now, the military situation is extremely urgent. How are you going to convey such a mother-in-law order?

If you let the telegraph soldiers send it, it is definitely a nightmare for the telegraph soldiers. If you let the soldiers convey it, they may not be able to go to the headquarters of each mechanized army tonight. This is a waste of time and sacrifice the lives of the soldiers!

He finally suppressed his impulse, and Pavlov's order was finally written. It can be said that the order was generally good, with clear thinking, clear organization and determination. It was just full of political work color, which made people look anxious.

If it were not for this kind of procrastination, if field marshal Shaposhnikov took over the command as soon as he came up and immediately ordered the withdrawal, the group armies of the western special military region would not be surrounded and annihilated by the Germans.

Now, due to the continuous delay of time, the withdrawal of the Soviet army is destined to be a terrible breakthrough battle. Moreover, after issuing this order, Pavlov completely lost the command of the various departments of biavistock
