"You are right." Timoshenko nodded after hearing this and agreed: "You are right. I have been in the army for decades, and this is the first time that I have seen someone who can get a reward after just a few months of joining the army.
A person who is awarded the Order of Lenin. A commander like this must be assigned a more suitable position to match his talents."
After the two reached an agreement, Khrushchev said to Sokov: "Captain Sokov, the two generals Vlasov and Potapov will take the plane we prepared for them later.
Return to Moscow. After discussion, we decided to let you return to Moscow with them. Do you have any objections?"
When Sokov learned that he could follow Vlasov and Potapov back to Moscow, he really wanted it. How could he refuse? He nodded vigorously and replied decisively: "Comrade Military Commissar, I firmly obey you and
Comrade Marshal’s order.”
Half an hour later, five people, including Vlasov, Colonel Der, Nikolsky, Potapov and Sokov, boarded the transport plane bound for Moscow.
After the door was closed, Colonel Del looked outside and found that except for the taxiing transport plane, he saw no other aircraft. He quickly approached the pilot and asked loudly: "Comrade pilot, why are we the only one?"
Doesn’t the plane have fighter jets to escort it?”
The pilot turned his head and glanced at Colonel Del's rank, and then replied loudly: "Comrade Colonel, we don't have enough fighter jets. They are competing for air supremacy with the enemy in some important airspaces, so we have no aircraft escort this time." It might be.
Seeing Colonel Del's concern, he added, "However, the route we are about to fly is in our military's defense zone, and the chance of encountering enemy aircraft along the way is very small."
After hearing this, Colonel Del returned to sit down next to Vlasov in despair, and said with a grimace: "Comrade Commander, I just asked the pilot, and he said that there will be no fighter escort along the way to Moscow this time."
But Vlasov didn't seem to care at all whether there were fighter escorts. After hearing this, he just waved his hand and said: "No, no, from here to Moscow, it is now an area controlled by our army. As long as we are not too lucky,
Well, you don’t have to worry about encountering enemy planes at all.”
At the same time, Khrushchev called Stalin and reported to him that Vlasov and Potapov returned to Moscow by plane.
Stalin was naturally very happy when he learned that Vlasov had returned to Moscow by plane. After all, he was his beloved general. It was a gratifying thing to escape from the German encirclement. However, he heard that He
Rushchev mentioned Potapó
When he heard his husband's name, he couldn't help but frowned: "Comrade Khrushchev, did General Potapov's 5th Army perform too poorly in the battle to defend Kiev? Otherwise, how could the Germans have done so in such a short period of time?"
What about occupying Kiev within the time limit?”
Faced with Stalin's doubts, Khrushchev quickly explained to him: "Comrade Stalin, General Potapov cannot be blamed for the fall of Kiev. You must know that the 5th Army under his command fought in the battle to defend Kiev.
He was very tenacious. But after the German army encircled our troops in Kiev, Potapov first received the order to retreat, but when the troops began to retreat, he received the opposite order, telling him to hold Kiev at all costs.
It was precisely because of these two completely opposite orders that he completely disrupted his deployment and gave the Germans an opportunity. If General Potapov's original strategy had been followed, Kiev would have been under the fierce attack of the German army.
We can hold on for at least a week or more, buying valuable time for our army to build new defenses in the direction leading to Moscow."
If someone had just mentioned a month or two ago that the Germans might rush to Moscow, Stalin would have scolded him, because in his view, this was a completely defeatist argument and would have a negative impact on military morale and morale.
It had a negative impact. But when he heard Khrushchev mention this matter, he rarely remained silent.
After a while, he slowly asked: "Comrade Khrushchev, how do you think we should arrange Potapov?"
"Comrade Stalin," Khrushchev replied cautiously: "I heard that the headquarters of the Supreme Command is planning to rebuild the Third Army. I think you can let him continue to serve as the commander of the Third Army. Of course, if you have
As for other suitable candidates, just pretend that I haven’t mentioned them yet.”
"Yes, I do have other candidates for the position of commander of the soon-to-be-reconstructed Second Army Group."
: "Who is he, Comrade Stalin?" Khrushchev thought that the 5th Army was originally part of the Southwest Front Army. If it was reorganized at this time, the probability of being reorganized into the Southwest Front Army was relatively high. He wanted to find out who the new commander was in advance.
Totally necessary: "Do I know him?"
"Yes, Comrade Khrushchev, you know him." Stalin said: "He is Major General Lelyushenko, deputy director of the Automobile, Armored and Tank Headquarters. At today's meeting, we are going to appoint him as the 1st Infantry Guards.
Army Commander, and then appoint him as Commander of the Third Army after he adapts to his new identity."
When Khrushchev heard this, he immediately understood that Lelyushenko had no experience in commanding troops. It would be obviously inappropriate for him to directly serve as the commander of the group army, so he was arranged to serve as the commander of the 1st Guards Infantry Corps for a transitional period.
