The troops of the central cluster and the southern cluster have a straight-line distance of 550 kilometers, while the whole Soviet southwest Corps is in the triangle between the two German armies.
According to the off-road speed of mechanized troops, it seems that they can push forward in two days. In fact, it is not so.
Because the advance of armored forces requires perfect logistics support, and there will be bottlenecks such as bridges along the way, it took them about five days to finally appear in the east of Kiev.
Even so, it was already quite fast. In these five days, although the Soviets noticed it, they somehow didn't report it. They thought it was the southern army group.
As a result, when the SS 1st Armored army under the 2nd Armored group, the forward of the German Legion, was about to arrive in the east of Kiev, the Soviets finally observed the flag of the SS 1st Armored army, and they were suddenly stupid.
No, it's going to be surrounded!
At first, in Minsk, because of Pavlov's recklessness, the troops were constantly surrounded and annihilated. However, in Ukraine, due to the proper command of bujoni, they did not suffer any heavy losses, but only some losses in the uman battle.
As the main force of the Kiev military region is still there, it is very difficult for the Germans to encircle and annihilate the Kiev garrison. They occupy the Dnieper River as a natural moat in an attempt to stop the continued attack of the German army.
But now, the situation has completely changed. The Germans know that it is not enough to have only the troops of the southern military region. As a result, they transferred the Middle Route Army!
It can be said that this will be the largest siege in the Soviet Patriotic War and the largest siege in the whole history!
This is a huge encirclement. It's unbelievable. All the 700000 troops in the Kiev military region are surrounded!
According to previous experience, as long as it is surrounded, it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.
When the news reached the Kremlin, everyone felt the rumble in their minds. Was the Soviet really going to perish?
Less than a month after the patriotic war, the Soviet Union lost a large area of land. The German army was killing Moscow. In the fortifications in the west of Moscow, there were hurriedly recruited second-line troops and routed troops.
Now looking at the whole battlefield, only the troops of the Southwest Military Region are still elite troops in the organic front line. They are guarding Ukraine and the southwest gate of the Soviet Union.
Who would have thought that they would be surrounded now!
No one spoke. The whole conference room was very quiet. You could hear a needle falling on the ground. For a long time, Stalin finally said, "this is really good news for us. The most powerful German Middle Route Army can rush to Mosco in a month. They went south!"
The leader's vision is really different. At this time, he thought that Moscow was finally safe? How ridiculous and pathetic it sounds.
It was like a rooster to be slaughtered in a cage. Seeing one of his companions taken away, the rest were relieved. Fortunately, they could live a little longer.
"You said, how about taking this opportunity to launch a counterattack against Smolensk?" Stalin said.
No one agrees with him. At this time, even the defense line has just been established, and the defense is not enough. Why do you have to fight back? Is there something wrong with Comrade Stalin's head today? Insane?
Stalin certainly had his own considerations.
Since the Middle Route Army has gone south and its own eyes are empty, why not launch a counterattack and increase confidence through victory?
After the oil field was bombed, morale will be low. The Soviet Union needs a victory to inspire people! No matter how much it costs, it's worth it.
No one spoke, as if everyone were mute.
"Comrade Stalin, marshal Timoshenko asked for a breakthrough." Here comes another telegram.
During this period, the Kiev military region has always wanted to withdraw, but Stalin never approved it. On the contrary, he dismissed those who insisted on withdrawing, including Zhukov and bujoni.
Now, tiemuxinge also wants to break through?
"No, they must stick to it and be prepared to launch a counterattack and eat the troops surrounding them."
Stalin's words convinced the people present that there must be something wrong with his brain, which is unrealistic at all!
Just now, when he received the news, Stalin did want to let them break through, but Stalin immediately ruled out his idea.
The oil fields are gone. What can we do to break through? The Soviet Union's crude oil reserves have long been exhausted. Now it is almost how much to exploit. The oil field is suddenly bombed and occupied. The oil in the remaining oil fields is also quite small. It can't be used by the Soviet army in the encirclement.
Without oil, their tank troops can't fight. How can they break through without tank troops? Even if they break through, how can they fight the German armored soldiers who catch up with them in retreat?
Breaking through an encirclement is death, and being surrounded is death. It's better to fight to the end in the encirclement.
At least we can hold down the German army and create opportunities for our own side to fight a beautiful counterattack here.
No one dared to advise Stalin. If Zhukov were here, he would try his best to stop him. Unfortunately, Stalin has relegated Zhukov to the reserve service.
"Order the Bryansk front army to attack the German troops going south from the side." Stalin continued, "destroy them in their maneuver!"
The Middle Route Army went south and had to walk more than 500 kilometers across the defense area of the Bryansk front army. They must be marching in the long snake array. At this time, they just hit them from the middle. It was not so easy for them to encircle Kiev!
(later generations also said that it was just a rumor after Stalin ordered to stick to Kiev. Stalin did not stubbornly insist on sticking to Kiev at all costs. He just asked for retreat. They must maintain defense along the Dnieper River and launch a counterattack against the advancing Guderian armored forces. Moreover, Kiev and any bridge shall not be abandoned without the approval of the supreme command
Stalin's attitude was firm. When his orders were sent back to Kiev, everyone present looked very ugly.
Bujoni has been removed from office, and now in Kiev are Timoshenko and Khrushchev. Since the war, Khrushchev has lost a lot of weight, and he has also suffered a lot of pressure. Now, he feels even more desperate.
"We can't keep Kiev." Khrushchev, who had always flattered Stalin, now complained: "let's stick here and fight back?"
There must be water in Stalin's head. Khrushchev didn't dare to say this. He can only rot in his heart. If he can be superior in the future, he must shake out these rotten things about Stalin. He is a criminal of the Soviet Union. He should be shot!
