June 26, 1940, 9 o'clock in the morning, Yuzefgrad suburbs.
General Popov, commander of the Russian Army Yuzefgrad Front, surrendered to German military on behalf of the Russian troops stationed in Yuzefgrad city.
Groups of Russian soldiers lined up neatly and passed through the weapon placement points one by one. Put the rifles, pistols, machine guns, mortars, etc. in their hands there. Soon, the weapons there were piled up like a hill.
These Russian soldiers seemed to want to maintain their glory at the last moment.
Marshal German D Army Group Commander Brauchitsch accepted the surrender of the Russian army on behalf of German military.
When General Popov handed the gun to Marshal Brauchitsch, it meant that the Yuzefgrad battle had come to an end.
"Long live! Long live Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" German military officers and soldiers cheered. They finally won this battle at Yuzefgrad. This also means that Germany has won more than half of the money on Russian front. The remaining Russian troops are no longer of concern.
On the other hand, the faces of the Russian soldiers were a little ugly. After all, as a soldier, surrendering to the enemy at the last moment seems to be a shame no matter what.
The surrender of the Russian army at Yuzefgrad gave German military an absolute advantage over Russian front. Although, the Russian army of Moscow is still persisting. However, how long can they persist with their advantage German offensive?
After the Yuzefgrad front army surrendered to German military, German Army Group B Commander Marshal Guderian once again sent an envoy to see General Zhukov. If possible, he still hopes that the Russian army at Moscow can surrender to German military like the Russian army at Yuzefgrad. In this case, they would not have to pay the price for destroying these Russian troops.
In fact, the Yuzefgrad front army surrendered to German military, which also caused a great shock to the Russian army stationed at Moscow. You know, the strength of the Russian army assembled at Yuzefgrad is only much larger than the strength assembled at Moscow. But now, even the Yuzefgrad front army has surrendered, so do they still need to continue to hold on in Moscow? Even if they continue to persist, there must be no meaning to this war. After all, it seems impossible for Russia to defeat Germany and win this war. Even a fool knows that Russia is just lingering on. As long as German military continues to attack, Russia will be destroyed before this winter comes.
Since Russia is destined to perish, naturally not everyone is willing to be buried with Russia. No one wants to die, even if it is a humble existence, there are quite a few people who are willing to do so.
The suicide of Joseph and the surrender of the Yuzefgrad front army once again weakened the fighting will of the Russian soldiers who insisted on Moscow. There have been many soldiers who took the initiative to surrender when they were attacked by German military. They no longer have the courage to fight anymore, and they don't want to fight anymore.
"Comrade Commander, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Some of our troops have even surrendered to the Germany people. If this continues, we will lose all our positions in a week at most." Major General Lyapin reported to General Zhukov with a worried look.
General Zhukov's brows were knitted tightly together. As a general leading troops in war, he could also feel how fragile the troops' fighting will was now. How can we still fight when our hearts are broken? It is already very difficult to resist German offensive.
"Comrade Commander, Germany people have sent an envoy again. Do you want to see him?" Major General Lyapin continued.
At this juncture, German military once again sent an envoy, and the purpose was naturally obvious. Until now, the Germany people have not given up trying to persuade the Moscow Russian army to surrender.
If it had been before, General Zhukov could still have said righteously that they would fight to the end for Russia, fighting to the last soldier. But now, Russia is inevitably going to perish. Does he still have that confidence? Even if General Zhukov himself has that kind of courage and confidence. But are the other Russian soldiers on the same page as him?
"Comrade Political Commissar, what do you think?" General Zhukov did not answer, but looked at Lieutenant General Kruglov.
"Comrade Commander, Russia seems to have really no hope!" Lieutenant General Kruglov said.
General Zhukov was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He understood what Lieutenant General Kruglov meant. Now Russia has no hope and is destined to perish. Under such circumstances, there is no need for them to persist. In that case, you will only pay a higher price.
"Comrade Commander, we have lost this battle, and there is no chance for a comeback. Germany people have such an advantage. No matter how hard we try, we cannot save our country.. If there is still a chance, we are willing to fight to the end. But now there is no chance at all! If we continue to resist, we will only pay unnecessary sacrifices." Major General Lyapin also said.
"Yes, Comrade Commander. I completely agree with Comrade Chief of Staff's opinion." Lieutenant General Kruglov said.
General Zhukov was silent. Didn't he know that Russia was now at the last moment? In other words, it has reached the point of no return.
If Joseph were here, there might be a turning point. No matter how unfavorable the situation is, everyone can only persevere under the order of Joseph. In that case, Russia might still have a chance.
However, now that even Joseph is dead, naturally no one can scare the generals anymore. In order to survive, those generals will naturally choose a method that is beneficial to themselves. Therefore, the Yuzefgrad front army would directly surrender to the Germany people. This further shook the foundation of Russia.
Zhukov knows that if you continue to stick to Moscow, a large part of them may directly surrender to the Germany people. However, there will definitely be some people who are willing to stick to it. But, is there any point in continuing like this? It just allows more people to bleed and sacrifice. And it was still unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice.
Zhukov Thinking of this, I already made a decision in my heart.
