In a blink of an eye, time came to September 16. Because General Yereomenko of the Bryansk Front failed to fulfill his promise to the Supreme Command to "crush Guderian", Guderian and Kleist's armored group
Reunited at Lochvita, the Southwest Front was surrounded by the Germans.
On September 20, the leading troops of the German 6th Army rushed into Kiev. In less than a day, almost all of Kiev's area on the right bank of the Dnieper River fell into the hands of the Germans. The 37th Army commanded by Vlasov
, received an order to move to the Yagogin area.
After receiving the order from the Front Army Headquarters, Colonel Der said anxiously to Vlasov: "Comrade Commander, since the Front Army Headquarters has given us a retreat order, should we immediately implement the order from our superiors?
"
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Vlasov said with a straight face after hearing this: "Our main force has been entangled by the German army. Do you think we can withdraw if we just say withdraw?"
"However, almost all of the city of Kiev, located on the right bank of the Dnieper River, fell into the hands of the German army, and our troops were also dispersed." Del reminded Sokov: "We should follow the orders of our superiors and withdraw our headquarters to Asia.
Gogin area, where the dispersed troops will be accommodated in order to organize effective resistance."
Faced with Colonel Der's suggestion, Vlasov chose to refuse: "Comrade Chief of Staff, it is precisely because our troops were dispersed by the Germans that we cannot choose to retreat. If we are really in this situation,
If we evacuate to the Yagogin area, then we will
Affects the morale and morale of the troops. As a commander, you should understand that after the troops lose their morale and morale, they will only think about escaping and have no intention of resisting. Once the troops lose their organization, they will be in trouble in front of the enemy.
Become a lamb to the slaughter.”
Seeing how stubborn Vlasov was, Colonel Del could only choose to obey no matter how dissatisfied he was. Who would let him be his superior?
However, the headquarters' stay did not make the situation in the right bank city develop in a direction favorable to the Soviet army. On the contrary, it put the headquarters in danger.
The battle continued into the afternoon. The 50th Infantry Division of the 17th Army commanded by German General Werner Kinitz appeared near the group army headquarters. Although the surrounding guard troops put up a tenacious resistance, due to the strength of the troops
Due to the gap in equipment, the resistance was quickly crushed.
Seeing that the enemy was about to rush into the building, the security chief quickly transferred Sokov's special company up, hoping that they could block the German attack.
If Sokov was commanding a unit that had experienced hundreds of battles, had rich combat experience, and was equipped with sophisticated equipment, then there shouldn't be much of a problem in blocking the German infantry division's attack. But regrettably, he
The soldiers under my command have three points
Both of them were recruits who had been in the army for less than a month. Most of them had never experienced the blood and fire on the battlefield. Many recruits heard bullets whizzing past their heads and saw their comrades being killed around them.
, for a while, he deserted because of fear.
The battle lasted only ten minutes, and Sokov's special company, which originally had more than 200 people, was reduced to less than 50 people, basically the original old team.
"Second Lieutenant Konstantin." Sokov knew that if he continued to fight, he would not be able to escape the fate of the entire army being annihilated. He quickly called Konstantin and told him: "You take the people here to hold on, and I will take the lead."
Commander, move them."
Constantine nodded and led his platoon of soldiers, relying on the simple fortifications outside the headquarters, to stubbornly resist the German attack. Sokov led Zhukovin, Yegor and others into the building
, prepare for Vlasov and others to move quickly.
"Captain Sokov," Vlasov couldn't help but frowned when he saw Sokov, whose face was blackened by gunpowder smoke, appearing in front of him: "Didn't you lead someone outside to block the enemy's attack?
How did you come to my place?"
"Comrade Commander," Sokov became anxious when he saw that things had reached the current stage and there was no sign of transfer in the headquarters: "My troops are almost exhausted. If you don't leave, wait for the Germans to rush in."
Then you can only be their prisoner."
Sokov thought about Vlasov being captured in the Battle of Lyuban. He used to be surprised that so many commanders and fighters successfully jumped out of the German encirclement. How could Vlasov, the commander of the Assault Group Army, possibly
Will he become a prisoner? But judging from today's situation, he immediately understood that Vlasov knew that the situation outside had reached an irreversible situation, but still chose to stay here, just to give himself a reputation of "not afraid of danger"
Good reputation.
But at this moment, Sokov would not give him a chance to pretend to be 13. If he continued to pretend, not only would he be captured by the Germans, but he would also become a prisoner himself. This was something he did not want to see. He turned around and faced
Zhu Kewen and others behind him said: "Second Lieutenant Zhu Kewen, take your subordinates, commander and chief of staff and leave here immediately."
Zhu Kewen nodded, and then ordered Chuersin, Djubro and others to leave the headquarters with Vlasov and Colonel Del, and move in a direction where the enemy has not yet been found.
With the transfer of Vlasov, the staff officers and communications soldiers in the headquarters also dispersed. Some ran away with Sokov, Vlasov and others, while others took off their military uniforms.
He fled to a nearby house, intending to take shelter there and wait for peace outside before finding a way to leave Kiev.
When leaving the headquarters building, Sokov and Vlasov's small force consisted of about seventy people. However, due to constant encounters with sporadic enemies along the way, some commanders and fighters were sacrificed during the battle, and some were dispersed.
By the time they arrived at a building near the Dnieper River, there were less than ten people left.
Sokov looked at the survivors around him. Apart from Vlasov and Colonel Der, Second Lieutenant Zhukovin and three prisoners, there were only two communications staff officers with little combat effectiveness left.
Sokov stood in front of the window, raised his telescope and looked at the bridge across the Dnieper River. He saw that the German troops had appeared at the bridge. They occupied favorable terrain and even set up machine guns on the sandbag fortifications. If they wanted to force their way through,
If you do, I'm afraid that before you can rush to the bridge, you will be shot into pieces by the German machine guns.
"Captain Sokov, what's the situation outside?" At this point, Vlasov still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and was still asking Sokov: "When can we cross the bridge and reach the Dnieper River?"
Going to the left bank?”
"Comrade Commander, you can see for yourself." Sokov handed him the telescope and said with a wry smile: "The Germans have taken control of the bridge, and there is no way we can get through with just the few of us."
