Chapter 1126
The dilemma faced by the Soviet army is indeed difficult to resolve.
Especially when the German army on the opposite side has already seen through their intentions, whether they advance or retreat, the German army will keep a distance from them, not actively attacking, and will not sit back and watch them escape.
If Zhukov dares to split his troops and retreat, then Guderian will not show mercy.
After the Soviet army split its troops, it will be much easier for the German army to defeat them.
At this time, the chances of winning are very high, and the cost is extremely small.
However, with Zhukov’s intelligence, he should not make such a foolish decision! However
, the current dilemma must be broken, and Zhukov has no idea which step he should choose!
“We can only take one step at a time now, there is no other way!”
Since it is easy to be defeated one by one if the troops are divided, and even if they are not defeated one by one, there are still German troops surrounding them in the rear. Even if they retreat to the rear, they still cannot escape the German army. They will have to fight at that time!
Since they have to fight, it is definitely better to keep the team intact and concentrate on fighting the enemy than to divide the troops randomly and weaken their own strength!
Moreover, Zhukov still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
There are the remnants of the Carpathian Mountains in the territory of Romaniya. When they retreat, they can choose to set up an ambush here and ambush the German army.
The German army will definitely follow them, and there are not many roads to enter the hinterland of Romaniya. If they go from the Carpathian Mountains, there is only one passage in the valley. They can also bypass it from the plains in the south, but after bypassing it, the German army will have to run hundreds of kilometers of unnecessary roads.
And taking advantage of this time, the Soviet army can get rid of If they can get out of the way of the Germans, they will have a lot more room to move!
Therefore, this is a good opportunity for the Soviet army. If the Germans want to continue chasing their army, they will definitely follow them through the valley.
Once the Germans enter the narrow terrain of the valley, the Soviet ambush can launch a fierce attack on them!
At that time, even if they cannot completely annihilate the German army behind them, they can at least severely damage them, so that they dare not get too close for a long time!
Do it as soon as they say it. With such a plan, the Soviet army’s actions have become much faster!
They must race against time and return to Romaniya as soon as possible.
Otherwise, with the supply line cut off, their supplies will only become less and less. Once they cannot get rid of the German blockade before the supply is completely exhausted, they will starve to death without waiting for the Germans to destroy them!
……
“General, the Soviet army has suddenly sped up. It seems that they are planning to completely abandon Budapest and retreat towards Romaniya!”
Guderian sent a lot of scouts to keep an eye on the Soviet army’s every move. When the Soviet army began to retreat across the board and decisively abandoned Budapest, the German army immediately learned of the Soviet army’s move.
“We also speed up and catch up with them. In addition, we send a telegram to Berlin to inform them to send people to take over the government affairs of Budapest, and let Himmler send some Gestapo. Although the bear army has left, there is no guarantee that there will not be a few bugs left here!”
The so-called bugs in Guderian’s mouth are actually spies.
The profession of spy itself is not a glorious industry, so let alone the regular army looking down on them, even the civilians don’t like them!
This is not only for foreign spies, but also for the intelligence personnel and agents of their own country. The people keep their distance and do not like them!
After arranging these things, Guderian did not send a large force into the city, but bypassed the city, leaving only a small part of the army here to maintain order, to prevent the Soviet army from retreating. The lawless elements in the city took the opportunity to smash, loot and burn.
Such things are not uncommon in wartime.
When the social order of a place collapses, the chaotic order will fuel the evil in some people’s hearts, making them They took desperate risks and committed some horrific acts. Smashing, looting, burning, raping and plundering are very common things in wartime. If the order in the city cannot be restored as soon as possible, such things will only expand further, and then affect and threaten the people of the entire city!
The Hungarian Empire had been abolished at this time, and it was officially incorporated into the territory of the empire in the future.
Although the escape of Regent Horthy caused considerable trouble to the German army, it also gave a good gift.
It was because of his escape that the Soviet army took over the city without firing a single shot.
And without the destruction of war, the city is still very well preserved.
The Soviet army’s active retreat allowed the German army to take back the place without using force, making This place has passed through the hands of two armies, but it is still intact!
This saves a lot of money for the empire!
After all, if the Soviet army causes massive destruction here, it will definitely cost the empire a lot of money to rebuild the city!
Fortunately, Zhukov is a pure soldier, and he can’t do such a crazy thing.
This is very similar to Guderian, so after hearing the news, Guderian also has a little more admiration and appreciation for his opponent!
Although the Soviet army is very fast, they didn’t go far after all.
After bypassing the city of Budapest, the German army didn’t take too long to catch up with the retreating Soviet army.
Because they were fighting deep behind enemy lines, the Soviet army It was very difficult to supply the Soviet army with supplies, so they carried a lot of baggage, which seriously slowed down the Soviet army’s marching speed. Even if they wanted to go faster, it would be difficult to do so!
On the contrary, the German army was fighting on their own land, so it was very convenient to replenish supplies, so they could travel light and keep up with the speed of the Soviet army!
As long as Guderian wanted to do that, he could even take his troops, bypass the Soviet army, speed up from the flank and overtake them in front of them.
However, in this case, the Soviet army would definitely seize the opportunity to attack the German army!
