The white ceiling looks clean and unusual, and the sound of birds outside the window gives a sense of vitality here. In the apex novel, when Ren opened his eyes, everything in front of him had no smell of smoke, as if the world had restored peace and ended the terrible war.
However, he knew that the war would not end, at least not at the moment. The pain in his body came from the heartbreaking lungs, and it was not long for him to be injured, which also meant that he was not sleeping. Long time.
The bed under him was brand new and had an unpleasant and strange smell of disinfectant. The wooden bed has a soft cover, the quilt looks soft and good texture, and there is a bedside table with a vase beside the bed. He has a clean and tidy room by himself, and there is a small window beside him.
"Captain Rennes, are you awake?" A female nurse walked into Rennes's ward. With a notebook in her hand, she saw Ren opened her eyes and asked with a smile: "I can take care of you, really Very honored. My name is Ivana, Ivana Rita. "
"I ... where is this?" Ryan said hardly. He found his voice a little out of tune. Anyone who has been in a coma for a long time will also feel that his voice is a bit strange. He was confused by his strange voice for a moment, and then looked at the other party waiting for the answer.
The female nurse smiled and replied: "This is the best hospital in Kiev. You are sent here as an officer wounded, and here generally only receive officers. I was transferred from a hospital in Berlin, here Head nurse. I have heard of your deeds. You are now almost the hero of the whole Germany ... at least one of the heroes. "
Ryan squeezed out a smile embarrassedly. He thought the nurse was talking about the fact that he had prevented the Soviets from bypassing the imperial division, but unfortunately he was not able to complete the important task of saving the world.
Although the Soviet roundabout forces had collapsed, their crazy assaults elsewhere caused a heavy blow to the Germans. The G Army finally gave up the defense line and the Soviet Red Army entered Belgorod State across the board. The Germans lost almost 150,000 people in this battle, of which 70,000 were recruited from the rear, and the other 80,000 were the elite of the G group army.
The heavy loss of the G group army not only eventually abandoned the large area of occupation, but before stabilizing the defense line, it also sent out about 30,000 Romanian prisoners and 20,000 Italian prisoners. In other words, even if the loss of the Germans near Stalingrad was ruled out, in the area just south of Kursk, the G Army had lost almost 200,000 soldiers.
At the same time, in order to wipe out the 200,000 Axis soldiers, the Soviet Union lost more than 500,000 elites. These soldiers are not the mobilized soldiers in Stalingrad, nor the recruits who have just been added, but the veterans who have experienced several large-scale battles.
The strategic deployment of the German army northward was completely paralyzed by the Soviets, and the plan to attack Moscow was completely bankrupt. Some newly formed armored forces and some rear troops urgently moved closer to the G group army, barely taking advantage of the weak attack of the Soviet Union to block Guderi. The hole behind Ann.
On May 12, the Soviet Union first recaptured the important town of Belgorod on the frontal battlefield, and this city became the first city on the Soviet battlefield to be recaptured by the Soviets. Although the Soviet Red Army voluntarily stopped the southward offensive after that, it also inspired all forces hostile to Germany.
The head of state, Akado, had to give a speech in his mansion that the famous banner of victory is destined to be stained with blood. Use this to inspire people not to fear huge sacrifices. According to official German statistical records, the Soviet Union-German War has continued until now, and the German army and its servants have lost a total of 730,000 soldiers. Although the whole of Germany is not alone, the actual situation is almost less. More and more people have fallen in the war, and the front has become more and more difficult and bloody.
The German strategy was frustrated, and the plan to siege Moscow was completely suspended. Instead, it had to passively strengthen its defense forces in the direction of Kharkov. The group army that has just been formed and has not been completed has been reluctantly filled into this line of defense. The commander General Reichenau tried his best to prevent the Soviets from continuing to attack.
If it were not for the Soviets ’lack of heavy weapons, the loss of armored forces was too alarming, and the initiative to stop the southward movement may have caused the Germans to be in danger of crashing throughout the southern theater.
The role of Guderian fighting Zhukov at the last minute in the area south of Kursk at the last moment was finally manifested after ten days. The Soviet Red Army lost its counterattack power, and after the capture of Belgorod completely stopped attack.
Not only was Guderian's G Army draining his blood during the attack, Zhukov's southward attack cluster also suffered unprecedented losses during the attack. How big is this loss? As long as you look at the vast land south of Kursk, the wreckage of tanks discarded everywhere can be clearly seen.
The Soviet Union lost about 1,700 main tanks in 40 days, as well as more than 900 other T-26 tanks. This shows that the more than 1700 tanks lost in the past are elite kv-1 and kv-1b, as well as valuable t-34 tanks and Stalin tanks. The losses of these tanks could not be replenished by the Soviet Union in a short period of time, so Zhukov ’s offensive cluster could only watch the German troops strengthen the Kharkov defense line in close proximity, but there was no way at all.
Of course, the elite loss of the German armored forces is absolutely unforgettable. The 1st Armored Force lost 60% of its own tanks and vehicles, more than 390 tanks were destroyed by the Soviet Red Army, and the Imperial Division even killed four fifths. As a firefighter, the 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion had 41 tanks and only 7 tanks left. The German armored forces, which claimed to be invincible in the world, went dark in Kursk and then withdrew.
The Luftwaffe also lost more than 270 aircraft of various models in this defeat. This has become the battle where the Luftwaffe lost most troops since the war. Although more than two-thirds of these planes were shot down by Soviet ground artillery, the Soviet Air Force was also desperately fighting for local airpower, which put great pressure on the Luftwaffe.
Compared with the loss of more than 700 aircraft of the Soviet Air Force, the German Air Force has undoubtedly achieved a tactical victory. Compared to Soviet air defense, which basically relies on ground artillery, most of the Soviet aircraft were destroyed by the German Air Force fighter force. This shows that Germany is still firmly in control of battlefield air power, and it also shows that the Soviet Air Force is recovering its strength and no longer allows a small number of German aircraft to cross the frontal airspace.
In short, Rennes later learned that the Kursk battle was actually withdrawn by the G-group army, and the German army ended in defeat. In the entire battle of Kursk, both sides lost a total of 3,210 tanks; almost 1,000 aircraft were shot down; more than 700,000 infantry were lost.
The largest battle in human history, the battle with the largest number of tanks mobilized ended in Zhukov's victory over Guderian. The Soviet Red Army took the opportunity to counterattack and regained part of the lost ground, but in the end, because the loss was too great, it was forced to give up the opportunity to expand the results and also completely lost the opportunity to encircle the German southern cluster.
It is not surprising that the Soviet Union scored this result with the last leg of the legacy. It is not surprising that Zhukov used a counterattack advantage in the most dispersed period of the German army. After all the Soviet leaders had to rethink a very important question after hyping the great victory of regaining the important town: once the positive German a group army attacked Moscow, what should the remaining old and weak soldiers in the Moscow theater do?
"My crew ... are they all okay?" Renn didn't care about the battlefield situation he couldn't care about. He was more concerned about the people he knew and the faces he knew. He knew that at this time he could lie in the quiet rear, instead of nesting in a messy field hospital, then the German strategic situation would not be so bad.
Compared with how many positions Guderian lost and how many casualties there were in Germany, he was more concerned about what happened to Alice, more about Marcus, Andre and Bruce ...
Suddenly he remembered Bowman, the man who loved the car like his own wife, the feeling that he was driving the tank smoothly, and the memory of his tacit understanding of parking.
"Captain Renn, there was only one person when you were sent. I do n’t know what happened to the other people you said." The female nurse replied gently: "Maybe they are treated in other field hospitals. You may have to check many documents and forms to find them. "
Will they not be left on the battlefield? Become a captive of those Soviets? Maybe they were safely taken back to the hospital? Andre and Bruce are still lying in the ruins of the tank, will they be found? There was a mess in Rennes' mind, and obviously the current injury did not allow him to think like this.
"Can you do me a favor? Help me find the whereabouts of my crew members. I really want to know how they are doing now." Ryan had no choice but to stop thinking, but directly threw this difficult problem to him. Female nurse. Since she was sent to take care of herself, it is absolutely a matter of course to use it properly.
"The survival rate of the armored soldiers is not high, Captain Renn. If you insist on searching, I can help you submit the application, but you do n’t have too much hope. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." The female nurse said softly After that, a reluctant smile appeared.
Ryan wanted to tell her that her tank did not catch fire or die, but after all, she shook her head slightly and closed her eyes.
