The uman siege lasted only two days. When the German forces surrounded the whole uman, the defenders sought to break through in the shortest time. After all, the German armored forces were too strong. If they broke through one day later, the risk would be more.

Unfortunately, this makes it impossible for them to fully prepare for the breakthrough, and the plan is very simple. In fact, no matter how complex the plan is, it will all be crushed in front of the absolutely superior forces.

After the uman campaign, the German army eliminated nearly 200000 Soviet troops and captured less than 100000 people. Up to now, the southern Legion has finally achieved a beautiful record. Such encirclement and annihilation battles have appeared many times in the Middle Route Army, and the south route is only the first time.

However, there are still more encirclement and annihilation battles waiting for them on the South Road. There are millions of troops in Kiev. Encirclement and annihilation of the Kiev garrison will solve the Ukrainian problem!

At this time, in Kiev, after receiving the news that the uman garrison was annihilated, bujoni had smelled the smell of conspiracy.

As a veteran, bujoni has a bad habit. No matter how many battles he wins, in short, he looks superior. No one gives face except Stalin. This veteran seems to be the Soviet general who can fight well.

No matter how arrogant he was, when he became the commander of the whole southwest corps, he had to cheer up and prepare for the worst.

When commanding operations, it is often the same as playing chess. You must anticipate what the other party's next move is. For example, bujoni has been thinking all day about what the enemy's next move is?

Last time I thought it was Kiev, but people jumped on uman. Now uman was taken down by the other party. What's the other party's goal next?

Having eliminated its own flanks, its own Kiev has become a prominent part. There is no doubt that the other party's goal will be Kiev!

So, the next question is, can Kiev hold?

Bujoni made a big question mark in his heart.

Obviously, I can't hold it!

The combat effectiveness of the German army is too strong. Now, if all the southern legions rush to Kiev, their own side must be unable to defend, not only defend, but even break through. The results of the uman campaign show that once surrounded by the German army, their own destiny is doomed.

So, can we retreat now?

Bujoni looked at the map for a whole day. Now, for the Kiev garrison, the best choice is to retreat immediately in order to preserve the troops. However, can such an action be agreed by Moscow?

Of course not!

How could Moscow tolerate retreat without war? Now, if bujoni orders a retreat, he will be shot by Stalin and end up with Pavlov.

"Marshal, are you still worried about the current war situation?" At the sound, bujoni turned his head and saw the short and fat Khrushchev.

"Yes." Bujoni said: "the situation here is very bad, but we can't retreat. We will face the risk of being surrounded."

"Then why not tell general Zhukov about these situations?" Said Khrushchev.

All of a sudden, bujumbini was shining.

Comrade Stalin is stubborn, but he can listen to Zhukov's opinions. Even when it is critical, he will call Zhukov back for discussion. Bujoni is jealous of this honor.

But it's better. Bujoni doesn't want to step on the thunder. Zhukov can step on it. Anyway, this guy looks mysterious, as if he is the God of the army.

Sure enough, playing with political means, Khrushchev is definitely a good hand. He is much better than his own generals. Let Zhukov touch this bad head first!

"Marshal, there is an order from the base camp to mobilize our 16th group army to Smolensk." Just then, a new news came.

Now, Kiev is about to be surrounded. In this case, we have to mobilize our own reserve team! Bujoni immediately pouted his beard at the command of the base camp and was quite dissatisfied.

The only reserve team is going to be transferred!

The 16th group army was formed in the Far East military region last July. When it was first established, it may have been to cope with the crisis in the East. Mikhail feodorovic Lukin, deputy commander of Baikal military region, served as the commander of the group army. It was just established this spring.

Then, the patriotic war broke out. As soon as the 16th group army had completed its integration, it accepted the order and moved to the West. Now it had just arrived in Ukraine. Bujoni had not touched a small soldier of the group army before he was asked to leave.

This makes bujoni quite dissatisfied, but he also knows that the biggest reason for this is probably the tension in Smolensk.

After the fall of Belarus, the German army seemed to be able to advance to Moscow in another month. At Zhukov's suggestion, the Soviet Union mobilized many troops and arranged two lines of defense between Minsk and Moscow. In order to protect Moscow, they also racked their brains.

Compared with Kiev, of course, Moscow is more important. I don't know who made the idea of the 16th group army and transferred this army.

Although he is not satisfied, bujumbini has nothing to do. He knows that Moscow is under greater pressure.

Now, no one realizes that in this magnificent war, a little man is revealed. He is Lukin!

At the beginning of the Barbarosa plan, it was as dark as hell for the Soviet Union, and in this darkest period, general Lukin was a shining star breaking through the darkness.

Lu Jin's life is legendary.

He was born in a poor family and went to school for several years when he was young. Later, he joined the Russian army, joined the Red Guard and the Red Army, and became a glorious Bolshevik. After the civil war, he continued to rise. Like other generals, he did not escape the terrible purge. He was also put in prison, but he was lucky and later released.

Moreover, he continued to rise, and now he has become the commander of the 16th group army. Along the way, he took the train and bumped all over. It was easy to get to Ukraine. He hasn't been to his own position, but he received a new order to go north and support Smolensk!

The train gasped and entered the railway station.

"Commander, it's shepetovka railway station. Would you like to go out and get some air?" Said Lu Jin's aide.
