Compared with Mikhailovich's Motherland Army and Tito's troops, as with many old armies and new armies, the biggest disadvantage is the difference in organizational level.
In the internal armed forces of the Motherland Army, many local leaders led troops to join voluntarily. Mikhailovich did not have strong leadership power. Many local generals did not obey him very much, and many of these generals cooperated with the German army.
This was also one of the reasons why the British concluded that the combat effectiveness of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army was not as good as Tito's after an inspection, and finally turned to support Tito. However, in terms of numbers, there was no gap between the Yugoslav Fatherland Army and Tito's original army.
The same is true for the Yugoslav Motherland Army now on the Austrian border. Because it was chased by Tito's troops and had no way to get to the ground, Mikhailovich's authority has increased and has a certain binding force on the entire Yugoslav Motherland Army. However,
He was still not the authority who always believed in his words. When things came to a close, he could only try his best to convince other commanders.
For so many days, Mikhailovich has remained silent and withstood the huge psychological pressure. He has been worthy of the psychological quality of leading the motherland army for many years. The reaction of this is that the entire Yugoslav motherland army is now panicked and worried about the future.
It was full of fear, and Mikhailovich knew this very well.
We can't believe the Croats. Although the Croatian Ustasha armed forces are now chasing Tito to the Austrian border, this proves that Tito is so cruel to his own people and to their motherland army, which is mainly Serbian.
Armed, there is no reason to let go of a horse.
"Colonel, what do you think we should do?" The major commanders who came to Mihajlovic all felt that the situation was serious. Once they returned to Yugoslavia and faced Tito, these people were destined to have a tragic fate.
"There is no way, but we have no choice." Mihajlovic took out the rhetoric he had prepared and said in a sad tone, "We cannot sit still and wait for death. If we return to Yugoslavia, we will lose the ability to resist.
, there is only one person who can save us now."
Who? Everyone looked at each other. It was not that they didn’t know that Mikhailovich had disappeared for a few days, but no one knew where Mikhailovich had gone. They thought that Mikhailovich had been found.
Route to Exile.
Later, Mihajlovic reappeared, and everyone didn't think much about it. They were kept in the dark about the whole thing, and naturally they didn't know what the so-called method was.
And the most important thing is that now all the weapons in their hands have been confiscated by the British. Where can they go without weapons?
"Even if we have weapons, we can't defeat the British and American troops. Now without weapons, we are just refugees. With such a large number of refugees, no army can shoot without scruples. We let children and women go in front to fight for us.
Open the way and take a bet on whether the British and American soldiers can shoot."
If Alan Wilson were here and heard Mikhailovich say this, he would definitely say that he is an expert. Later generations of refugees who poured into Europe liked to let women and children take the lead, stimulate the sympathy of Europeans, break through the borders, and then wait.
Can't leave.
Mikhailovich now lets women and children cover his troops in front, and has initially mastered the essence of shamelessness. He is worthy of being a leader who has led the Motherland Army for many years.
After hearing Mikhailovich's words, the surrounding commanders were obviously moved. In fact, even Alan Wilson thought it was possible to succeed if he was here.
In this era, there will be no sympathetic groups in Europe. European countries have gone through years of war and have become numb to all kinds of tragedies. How can there be any extra sympathy? However, this group of Americans is really not sure.
First of all, the U.S. mainland was not affected by the war. In terms of the overall environment, the U.S. military did not fight any tough battles in the first place. Moreover, the U.S. is still looking for ways to establish its image and gain a foothold in Europe.
Shooting at large-scale refugees without weapons would cause a massive death toll. Although various excuses could be used to evade it at that time, European countries are now using hammers and sickles. Once the US military opened fire and caused a massive death toll, the Soviet Union might directly
Just forget that these people are opponents of Tito, just say they are refugees and let the US military take responsibility.
Or take a step back. This is an organized and premeditated move by the imperialist countries to subvert Yugoslavia. They use their propaganda machine to attack the image of the United States.
There are pro-Soviet parties in Europe to cater to it, which may really embarrass the Americans. Even if all the above scenarios do not occur, there is still the last factor. General Patton did not go to Berlin as he did in history. Eisenhower went to Berlin in person.
, General Patton is in Bavaria.
All kinds of internal and external factors were combined, and after arriving in Europe, he discovered that Austria was nominally divided among the four countries, but in fact it was equal to the Soviet Union's monopoly. There were only two battalions of soldiers in the British-occupied area. Alan Wilson saw a loophole and decided to
Inadvertently, it pointed out a clear path for Mikhailovich.
"That's it!" Mikhailovich on this side has already made up his mind. "According to my information, General Patton is extremely dissatisfied with the Soviet Union. This time we are running towards freedom. His attitude is very important. Maybe there will be a third party."
During the Second World War, we can still follow the US military and fight back to Yugoslavia to regain everything we lost. Then we will solve the problem with the Croats. But now, facing Tito, we are in the same situation as the nearby Croats.
Don’t worry about it for now.”
Alan Wilson is here, and he might be exclaiming about the potential of Mikhailovich and Chang Gong. Their temperaments of complaining about heaven and earth, complaining about the air, and complaining about Soviet revisionism and American imperialism are all so similar. How can I expect the second one?
Three world wars?
However, Mikhailovich's words are indeed a shot in the arm for the commanders of the Motherland Army who have lost their homes and are like losing their dogs.
In the camp of the Motherland Army group, the commanders of the Motherland Army who had returned from Mikhailovich issued unclear orders to their subordinates. It seemed very clear, but when you think about it carefully, you don't understand the reason.
In the peaceful camp, a ripple appeared on June 23. No one knew what impact this ripple would have. Mikhailovich's eyes almost moved with the sun. He hoped
The time for action may come soon, but I hope it never comes.
Mikhailovich was in a state of high tension, his eyes were bloodshot but not tired. Whether he lived or died depended on his actions at midnight. As the darkness fell, it seemed like today was just another ordinary day.
As twelve o'clock approached, the camp of the Yugoslav Motherland Army was filled with restlessness like a calm lake boiling. The men, women, and children who were woken up by the soldiers of the Fatherland Army looked at the lit torches and did not know what to do at midnight.
"Women and children, come out and follow us!" some soldiers shouted, holding the women and children in front and taking action.
