Chapter 160 Order No. 270
Shulka also has so understanding of Order No. 270.
It is mainly aid at the situation that many Soviet officers and soldiers, including political workers, surrendered to the German army in the early days of the Soviet-German war.
As Moscow said: "In those cases of surrendering to the enemy, the mbers of the Military Committee of the Army Group, the commanders, the political workers, and the internal affairs troops, when surrounded by the enemy, behaved in panic and at a loss. It is incredible!"
Thus, there are three points of Order No. 270.
One: Do not escape, surrender, or execute on the spot.
2: The surrounded units and troops should obey the command of their superiors without hesitation and break through the blockade. If an officer or soldier does not organize active resistance and counterattacks the enemy, but chooses to surrender, then any ans can be used to eliminate them from the air or on the ground.
Three: All division commanders and political commissars have the right to imdiately dismiss from office those battalion commanders who try to save themselves in battle and are afraid of exercising command in the field, they can be regarded as liars and reduced to soldiers.
Kyiv applies to the second point, which is to obey the command of the superior to break through the blockade.
"We have to carry out the order!" Admiral Kirponos said helplessly.
Major Gavrilov and Shulka couldn't help being silent. This order seed to shock the deserters, but it put Kyiv to death.
Looking at Order No. 270 again, Shulka said: "Unless, we can choose another way to fight, a way that Moscow can accept!"
"Is there any other way?" Admiral Kirponos said: "Counterattack? No, we don't have enough supplies for us to launch a counterattack, and that might be worse!"
Admiral Kirponos is right, if you want to counterattack, you should also accumulate supplies for a period of ti instead of now.
And Moscow just doesn't allow delays, so they can't agree to the so-called "savings".
"Look at this..." Shulka pointed to a line on Order No. 270 and read it out: "All surrounded troops and personnel should try their best to attack the enemy from behind and destroy the **** lackeys !"
"You an...strike the enemy from the rear?" Admiral Kirponos didn't understand what Shulka ant: "That's what we're doing now!"
"Shulka!" Major Gavrilov reminded: "This sentence is aid at those troops and personnel who are scattered behind the enemy and have not had ti to withdraw to join forces with the main force!"
Shulka just said "um" and then stopped talking.
Admiral Kirponos seed to understand what Shulka ant: "You an... guerrilla warfare in the enemy's rear?"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded.
"No, no..." Admiral Kirponos shook his head without thinking and said, "Moscow will not agree, you must know that we are the Southwest Front Army, plus other troops gathered here, there are hundreds of troops in Kyiv. million people, Moscow will not limit its role to guerrilla warfare..."
"What if this can reinforce Moscow more effectively?" Shulka said: "That's their purpose, I an...they hope that we can reduce the pressure of the German army on Moscow."
"Of course!" Admiral Kirponos said, "If it could, it's impossible! I an, guerrilla warfare will be reinforced more than frontal combat? Even if I believe it, Moscow won't believe it!"
“Then make it and let them see it!” Shulka said. “If they know it works, we don’t even need to convince them!”
Hearing that Admiral Kirponos and Major Gavrilov couldn't help but look at each other, they knew that Shulka was resourceful and most of the suggestions he made were correct, but this ti...
"You seem to take guerrilla warfare too seriously, Shulka!" said Major Gavrilov. Implent!"
"Why can't we take the initiative to implent it?" Shulka said: "Organized and planned implentation!"
This can be said to be guerrilla warfare or "special operations". There is no clear boundary between them. It can even be said that guerrilla warfare is "special operations".
It is generally believed in the world that the British were the first to use "special operations" on the battlefield...that was a "Chindi Task Force" ford by Wingate in Myanmar in 1943, which specially sneaked into the rear of the Japanese army to destroy railways, roads and other enemy rears Activity.
But in fact, this is just the bragging of the Western countries that have the right to speak. When China’s guerrilla warfare has beco a system and the German Branfenburg troops have already beaten the British, Arican, and Soviet troops in a panic, it appeared later and did not The mature "Chindi Task Force" can actually beco a pioneer of special warfare.
After thinking for a while, General Kirponos said: "Tell about your plan, Shulka, you have to convince us first!"
Shulka sorted out the clues, and then replied: "First of all, the German army is also in a state of logistical tension at this ti, and its logistics supply line of the Southern Army has been cut off. Although they do not need to worry about this for the ti being because they have occupied a large number of warehouses and supplies, But in the long run there must be a logistical crisis!"
"I agree!" Admiral Kirponos said: "The two army groups rely on the supply lines of the Central Army Group, which puts them under great supply pressure!"
"Secondly!" Shulka continued: "If we cannot destroy the enemy attacking Moscow, we will reduce the ammunition and supplies for attacking Moscow. This is also a kind of reinforcent for Moscow, and even has a much greater effect. Their shells are strong...it is also in Moscow's interest!"
Admiral Kirponos nodded slightly: "Although it makes sense, Moscow may not agree with this. But as you said, if we really achieve so impressive results... then there is no need to worry at this point!"
"Finally!" Shulka pointed to the map and continued: "Kyiv is the best base for guerrilla warfare. Because it is located in the middle of the enemy, penetrating to the east can threaten the logistics of the enemy's southern army group, and to the north is the enemy's central army group. If we enter the Pripyat Marshes and move westward, further north and south we can threaten the rear of the two German fronts!"
Admiral Kirponos and Major Gavrilov were stunned when they heard this.
"Pripyat Swamp?" Major Gavrilov said, "That's not an easy place to cross, we know that!"
"Of course it's not easy!" Shulka said: "But you can avoid the Germans!"
