The cold wind blows from the wilderness, making people involuntarily wrap up their clothes. The cold wind on the Ukrainian plain is enough to make people wearing thick cotton coats feel cold. For people who lack clothing and food, it is a complete disaster.
Approximately 400,000 people were eventually surrounded by a circle around Donetsk. These Soviet troops trudged through the cold, icy and snowy land in an attempt to escape this huge circle. But in the end they failed. They were compressed in a small space and could not even break through.
Although these Soviet Red Army still have small advantages in number, they even have an absolute advantage for the Germans in each siege direction. However, they lacked ammunition and food, and even lost their weight on the road to escape. Now they are fragile and lack fighting spirit. They simply cannot cope with the German siege.
Hundreds and thousands of cannons were thrown on the road of escape, and the mortar was thrown in the field like a waste steel pipe. Anyone can find the shells of these mortars and split them not far away. Gun mount and aiming device. If you look carefully, you can occasionally find the box of shells and empty oil barrels ... In short, in the eyes of the Germans, this is definitely a defeat of unorganized discipline.
What makes these startling birds desperate is that at the end of the road, I heard the news of the annihilation of the entire army of the Crimean peninsula. The 190,000 soldiers there laid down their weapons and surrendered. In addition to the soldiers who were captured and captured before, almost 300,000 people are working He was rushed to concentration camps in Poland and Ukraine.
Fortunately, these Soviet soldiers did not have many cars, and almost did not have heavy equipment such as tanks, so their demand for oil and spare parts was not huge. It is for this reason that these Soviet troops have not yet shown signs of massive collapse. If the siege of Zhukov was the main force of the Soviet army, it is now defeated because of the inability to fight.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Because such a force lacks heavy weapons and has no source of ammunition, it has no ability to break through. In the face of the dense firepower network of the German army, the use of soldiers for assault is almost the same as going to death. After trying a few times, no one wants to use his body to compete with the German tanks. After all, there are not many lunatics like the Japanese.
At the beginning, the Soviet commanders were looking forward to the winter, and when the winter came, the weather did help the Soviet Red Army. But now the Soviets in Donetsk's encirclement circle look forward to the winter as soon as possible, because they do not have much material reserves for the winter.
The conditions of the Soviet garrison near Donetsk are slightly better, after all, they can still share the benefits provided by some cities. But the days of the troops stationed on the outer perimeter of the encirclement circle were not so good. They lacked winter tents, and every day people were frozen to death in the cold trenches.
The most desperate thing for the defenders is that their food reserves are about to bottom out. When they were originally surrounded, they also fled backwards to reduce the load and discarded some of the food. In the impression of all Soviet frontline infantry, Donetsk ’s food There should be a lot of reserves. Unfortunately, when they arrived here, they discovered that the food was now in the Caucasus. This was the rush order issued by Zhukov. In order to ensure that the supplies did not fall into the hands of the German army, he ignored the Soviet army in the circle.
In Zhukov ’s plan, the Soviet soldiers in the siege circle should
actively break through due to food shortages, desperately engaged in a battle with the frontal German armored forces, break through and reach the Caucasus, and participate in the subsequent battle to surround the Caucasus.
But any participation in the preparation of this order The senior generals took the initiative to understand this command as "I took the food, and I didn't want to starve to find the way by myself! The only remaining role for you is to give Gudrian the entanglement!"
"Damn bastard! He wanted to starve us to death in Donetsk!" A Soviet company commander squatted in the trenches and cursed loudly at the Soviet commander-in-chief far from the front line of Minsk. His hands were entangled in his sleeves because of the cold, and he held his Mosin Nagan trembling.
The wise and courageous commander-in-chief is almost like an idiot in his mouth. This is the idea of ​​the grassroots soldiers, whoever gives them food so that they do not have to die, who is really a great general. As for the others, they are all clouds on the horizon, or around them.
Beside him, there were other Soviet soldiers. Although they were wearing old military coats, they were still shaking by the cold wind. They were all shrunk in the trenches of simple construction, waiting for the Germans opposite their positions to take away their small and pitiful lives. Everyone in this position had only a dozen bullets left, but the superior ammunition had not been released. Some well-informed people were all telling that there was not much stock of ammunition even in the division.
Bounced out, food was absolutely scarce, lack of clothing, and food. This is the true portrayal of the Soviet army besieged near Donetsk. Around them, there were German soldiers wearing winter white camouflage uniforms. These Germans were wearing thick sweaters and cotton clothes. Even the boots were thickened snow boots. What is even more desperate is that these Germans have sufficient ammunition, which is more than enough to deal with the Soviets who are trying to break through.
On the way back, they were the most elite German army. What kind of fighting force was this army? Looking at the previous record, it made people lose a fight ; to their north, it was Model. The defensive master's guard unit can penetrate Model's defense line, and can go back and work as a deputy commander-in-chief; their south is a dead road on the Black Sea; and although there are not many Germans on their fronts, they hit back and hit What is the difference between the m group army under Manstein and the death?
The Soviet troops on the Crimean peninsula, fortunately, with the Sevastopol fortress group and the Kerch fortress as a backing, at least they can still struggle, showing a heroic spirit of perseverance, but unfortunately Donetsk ’s There are only simple trench fortifications around, and the defenders have no real support.
It is not that there is no fanatical patriots who want to fight street fighting, but there is not enough ammunition and enough food. Even the civilians in the city of Donetsk, fighting a battle that can not last long, is really not necessary. So after this difficult choice to ride a tiger, the Soviet defenders adopted a passive wait-and-death posture, waiting for the advanced German attack.
"Look at people, eating hot canned food in the cold weather, not only dare to fire, but also candy snacks." A soldier sent by the Soviet army while watching the German army opposite for lunch, said to his comrades: "I It smells meaty, really. Their canned food would be great if we could sort it out for us. "
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm really hungry. Look at the other soldiers, we are also soldiers, why is the gap so big?" A Soviet soldier with a gun complained beside the sentry Road. They were also eating just now. As a result, the Germans came over with several 60-mm caliber mortar shells. Their lunch was completely soaked. One shell hit the iron pan, and half a pot of water and two cooking soldiers were blown up.
The Soviets here no longer care about the so-called supervision. Their helpless situation has left them without any hope. Those political workers who have fled all the way here are more desperate than ordinary soldiers. Because they are well informed, they heard that political workers are in Germany The treatment in the concentration camp is the worst, and it has a somewhat "professional discrimination" taste.
"Hey! Look over there! Look over there! Maybe we are about to eat German tin cans." The sentry Soviet soldier pointed to the distance and shouted with a lowered voice: "Look! Those people I I have seen it, it is a senior officer of our army! "
Several Soviet troops who heard him screaming stood up from the trench and looked at the place not far from the position, where a dozen Soviet officers were holding white flags in their hands and slowly approached the German occupation position. They walked cautiously, seeming to be afraid that the friendly forces on the opposite side or behind them shot, until they approached the German trenches, they put down the dazzling white flag in their hands.
In the evening, these Soviet officials returned from the German positions. They returned to their positions and passed through a group of soldiers full of expectations. No one here was willing to continue fighting. Many troops have begun to run out of control with large-scale surrender.
On the second day, the 407,000 soldiers of the Soviet Red Army Donetsk laid down their weapons. They surrendered to the G-group army commanded by Guderian on the retreat and handed over their flags and documents. .
According to the agreement between the two parties, all documents concerning the political personnel of this group of military personnel were burned, and all the political personnel of this unit were disbanded and divided into combat troops, treated as ordinary prisoners.
The surrender agreement stipulates that soldiers of Ukrainian origin can directly lay down their weapons and leave the army to return to their hometowns. Those who do not want to leave can accept Vlasov ’s reorganization. As for Soviet soldiers of Russian nationality, they were sent to the Polish concentration camp in batches as labor.
In a huge encirclement, part of the two German Army forces swallowed 400,000 soldiers around the Soviet Union Donetsk. The G Group Army and the M Group Army were completely liberated, forming a high-pressure situation for the entire Caucasus. With a single order, the two forces could break into the Soviet complex, threaten the oil production base of the Caucasus, and enter Stalingrad.
