"We found several mice in the sewers of the city." With fatigue, kartsev continued to explain: "when the explosion occurred, the city suffered a devastating blow, all buildings in the city collapsed, and this section of sewer was just blocked from both sides."

"In other words, as long as we hide underground and we have enough air, we can support it?" Bujoni immediately inferred it. Kartsev also admired it. Indeed, he was worthy of being a senior commander, and his thinking was active.

"However, it is difficult for us to build enough underground works in a short time." Said Admiral gilbonos.

There are hundreds of thousands of garrisons and millions of people in the city. If all underground fortifications are built, they cannot be completed in a short time.

"Yes, so if the Germans intend to use this weapon to threaten us, we need to evacuate all citizens and keep only our army. If we start now, we will leave as many troops as we can build such underground bunkers, but we must pay attention to that it must be completely sealed, That terrible weapon will consume all the oxygen in the air. We also need enough oxygen bottles to hold us until the surrounding air is filled again. "

There is a spear and a shield. Weapons are never omnipotent. Now they have found the weakness of this terrible weapon. In Moscow, such fortifications have been built. If the Germans want to destroy Moscow with this weapon, their own side can stick to it.

"But what's the use of leaving ruins all over the ground, even if we can survive the attack? The city has been destroyed, has lost the value of protection, and we can't continue street fighting in the ruins. " Said Admiral kilponos.

What's the use of leaving a ruin?

"Useful, at least, we still stick to it." Bujoni said, "as long as there is one person, the position is ours." As a veteran from the civil war, bujoni is still firm.

After recovering from the initial sudden attack, the Soviet army began to stabilize, as did the southwest army.

For example, the commander of the 6th group army, lieutenant general Ivan Nikolayevich muzichenko, is a strong willed and decisive commander.

He was the son of a sailor. He had tasted poverty and unfettered labor since his childhood. He served in the Czar army on the northwest front in 1917. He joined the Red Army in 1918.

During the Russian Civil War, he suffered five injuries: one in the head, three in the right hand and one in the back.

In 1927, he graduated from the training course of Red Army commander cavalry. Embarked on the road from squadron leader to division commander.

Just this year, under the age of 40, muzichenko bypassed the military command and was directly appointed as the commander of the group army. He began to command the sixth group army of the Soviet army.

His group army is stationed in the Lvov region of Ukraine. The group army has two infantry armies, one cavalry army, two mechanized armies and other units.

His luck was very bad. Just after the battle started, his 6th group army took part in the border war. Later, he fought and retreated, and retreated to uman together with his fellow soldiers, the 12th group army.

In uman, while sticking to it, they are actually repairing it. After all, the German offensive route is Kiev, and they are supposed to be safe in uman.

Unfortunately, who would have thought that the Germans would not fight in Kiev and would attack uman!

Now, they are surrounded by uman. Outside are the most powerful German tank forces. You can think of the consequences, even with your toes.

The headquarters of the two group armies were located in the city of uman. After receiving the order, muzichenko met with major general bonejerin, the commander of the 12th group army. At this time, their faces were worried.

"There are at least three or four thousand tanks outside us." Muzichenko said: "now, if we want to rush out, we can only gather our tank forces together, break through a weak place, and then the cavalry will go up, expand the opening and break through with our infantry."

At that time, muzichenko was appreciated by Zhukov. He was the first successor of the cavalry regiment and the 4th cavalry division that Zhukov once commanded. He was a good learner and knew that only when tanks were used intensively could there be hope.

But bonierin didn't think so.

"German tanks have strong impact and high mobility. If we rush out from one place, a large number of German tanks will be blocked up soon." Bonieglin said: "we can't break out like that. We must separate and tear open from multiple directions so that the Germans can't take into account the overall situation. Only then can some people successfully retreat, and it's best at night."

Bonieglin does not agree to attack together. That will only attract more enemies and will not help the breakthrough. He wants to disperse the breakthrough at night. In his eyes, this has a higher chance of success.

"No, German tanks have night vision devices. At night, our movement is more limited. Moreover, if we don't gather together to attack, we can't make a fist, we can't break through the gap at all, and charge around. There is no position to break out, and all our soldiers will be killed by the enemy." Muzichenko said.

In terms of military rank, muzichenko is a higher level, but in terms of command, they command their own group army. If they can negotiate, they will break through the siege together. But now, it is obvious that their opinions cannot be unified.

After retreating all the way, their two group armies cooperated quite tacitly, but now, when deciding life and death, they have contradictions, and no one can convince anyone.

Therefore, the two people's talks can only break up unhappily.

Back in his own army, muzichenko had no time to hesitate. He knew that after the Germans surrounded their own side, they would continue to narrow the encirclement circle. The smaller the encirclement circle, the thicker the deployment of German forces, and the harder it was to break through.

So, don't delay too much.

"Order the troops to get ready tonight and we will break through tomorrow morning." Muziqinke gave an order to his adjutant: "gather all our tanks together. The cavalry is behind and the infantry is at the end. We want to carry out a tragic breakthrough battle. The success or failure is in one fell swoop!"

There is only one chance. This time, all tanks are pressed. If you can't open the gap and your side can't break through, it will be impossible to break through in the future.

He decided to break out tomorrow morning, and bonieglin was more anxious than him. After the two parted unhappily, bonieglin ordered to break out that night. What about muzichenko? He doesn't care. He can only be responsible for the life of his troops.
