Romanians want to apostatize? This was the attitude of the POWs as a whole, or was it Brimayo's own opinion.

Yang Mingzhi would love to see the Romanians sincerely stand on the anti-fascist side, and he personally would like this to be true, but it is very difficult to convince people such as Salinchkin, Fomin, and Yevlov, as well as tens of thousands of fighters who have a bitter enmity with the invaders, to believe in these Romanians.

Brimayo left with a smile on his face, continuing his wound examination for the day.

Yang Mingzhi asked the guards who were still in the ward: "You have just heard that this Romanian wants to be your comrade-in-arms, do you believe it?" ”

"Phew! Sir, haven't you heard the story of the farmer and the serpent? Abram said indignantly.

"I know! You're reminding me that we can't be this farmer, Romanians can also be snakes! ”

"And that's not all! Sir, I think you made a dangerous mistake in the conversation you just had! ”

"Wrong? Let's hear it. ”

Abram hurriedly put on a sad face: "Sir! You shouldn't have revealed that the doctor who saved that man's life was your wife! Maybe this Luo army officer will not make a mistake, but what about the others? A prisoner of war has stabbed you before, is there really no next time? They've learned the details of Dr. Besika, won't they attack her? After all, she's only eighteen years old! ”

In the end, it was a caring guard, Yang Mingzhi listened to his words, as if a thunderbolt was smashing on his heavenly spirit cover. He slapped his thigh and stood up, and slapped himself in the face: "Oops! How could I be so stupid! ”

"Sir! Don't blame yourself, it's happened, and for the sake of Dr. Besica's safety, I think we should ......" Abram made a throat-slitting motion.

"What? Kill somebody to do away with a witness? No, no, no! ”

"But!"

"Forget it! Forget it! Betsica is not a weak girl! ”

"Sir! She doesn't have any weapons! Do you expect her to fight back against the attackers with a surgical lancet?! ”

"So it's up to you guards! Perhaps, I should keep some people to serve as her guards. ”

From Abram, Yang Mingzhi can see that the soldiers at the grassroots level are full of vigilance against prisoners of war. This is right, many soldiers were originally very dissatisfied with the army's policy of "giving preferential treatment to prisoners," and if it were not for the discipline and pressure, incidents of private abuse of prisoners would have occurred frequently. And this time the prisoners of war were made to dig in the rain and cut wood, isn't it also a disguised torture of prisoners?

Maybe I'm too fond of Romanians? Yang Mingzhi asked himself, although the Romanians will definitely betray the whole country in the future, it is purely a beautiful imagination to make the majority of soldiers believe this.

But Brimayo's words must also be pondered, it is feasible to put the Romanian prisoners of war in order, select those who are physically strong and reliable in thought, and form a small army to act as "cannon fodder"! After all, Vlasov and his ilk were able to defect to the Axis powers, and it is not surprising that a handful of Romanians took the initiative to take the side of the Allies.

The commotion caused by Brimayo was a small episode after all, and Yang Mingzhi's mind was still on the radar. When the guards sat at the door with their loaded guns and ammunition again, Rigushkov, who was in a state of evasion, came to the ward again......

Yang Mingzhi did not leave the hospital until the morning of June 11, his body has fully recovered, and his weight has increased significantly, the most intuitive manifestation is that his square face is a lot rounder, and the belly that has accumulated some fat, which only his wife knows best.

During the days when he was recuperating, on the battlefield of Kharkov, 500 kilometers away, the collapse of the Soviet army was finally contained.

The Kharkiv offensive campaign finally came to an end on June 10!

By 10 June, the front line had largely stabilized, and when the Germans began a frantic counterattack, they finally ran into hard stubble in Severodonetsk. Kostenko, deputy commander-in-chief of the Southwestern Front, personally took charge of the city and mobilized all available forces.

The Germans tried to quickly take the city, they organized three attacks, each of which was successfully fended off by Soviet troops. For this, the Soviet army paid a huge price in casualties. In particular, the so-called 90,000 soldiers of the so-called 90,000 soldiers who were almost unarmed and were urgently mobilized turned out to be up to 40,000 casualties in the week-long "Battle of Severodonetsk"!

With their flesh and blood, they fended off the German armored corps and dragged the German infantry into positional warfare.

Mobilized troops and regular troops, Soviet casualties largely came from German air strikes. The bombing of Severodonetsk, which had been a strategic staging area and logistics support center, was destroyed by German fighters, and a large number of peaceful residents who did not evacuate were killed by air raids. Even Kostenko was wounded in the arm in the air strike.

Even so, the deputy commander-in-chief stuck here, commanding the 38th, 9th, 21st and 28th armies, holding the existing line of defense and dragging the enemy into a war of attrition!

Undoubtedly, the Soviet army's strategic intention seemed to have been achieved, and the German army did not attack in an all-out way, and the battle came to a complete end.

The final result of the battle was also reported by TASS to the world, and Yang Mingzhi was clear about the result.

In his impression, the Soviet army suffered another crushing defeat in this battle, with more than 300,000 casualties, and if the wounded were added, the comprehensive attrition of the Soviet army was as high as 400,000.

In this plane, the Soviets behaved a little better.

In this battle, the Soviet army lost 105,000 killed (including the mobilized soldiers defending Severodonetsk) and 180,000 were captured. The massive retreat of the Soviets as soon as the signs of defeat showed signs did preserve the strength of the Soviets and allowed them to stabilize the current front.

Now Severodonetsk has become a salient, and the Soviets have once again lost control of Belgorod, and the overall display has moved back an average of 100 kilometers to the east, and the battle finally ended in this way, which also made Stalin, who was far away in Moscow, not too bad.

This was an acceptable defeat for the Soviet army, the Soviet Union had a strong manpower, and on the battlefield, the Soviet army also showed no hesitation to die. Although the combined loss of the regular army was nearly 300,000, the main forces of the Southwestern Front and the Southern Front were still preserved!

The T3476 is being mass-produced, and a new La-5 fighter has been developed. The military strength of the Soviet army grew rapidly during the war era, and a large number of new equipment was being delivered to the troops.

What the Soviet army needs most now is time, to delay the German offensive, so that when the new equipment is fully equipped with troops, it will bring about a qualitative change in the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army!

The current front has returned to the state of the winter offensive, which is equivalent to saying that the counteroffensive of the Soviet army in the south for half a year has been squandered in this failed battle. Fortunately, however, the situation had not deteriorated further, and Stalin and the High Command had officially approved the correct request of Timoshenko a dozen days earlier and urged him to stabilize the existing front.

The so-called defeat of this is a completely bearable defeat, such a defeat the Soviet Union can afford to lose, a large number of new troops are being actively formed, tens of millions of Soviet men are heading to the front!

So in Stalin's phone call to Timoshenko, who was already in Lugansk, he said: "You have to hold the line of defense that you have now, and a large number of new units formed in South Russia will soon join the battle sequence of the Southwestern Front." When our army is back in strength, we will launch a winter counteroffensive in a few months! ”

Until now, the Soviet high command has always believed that the snow began to fall that day, and winter would become the new friendly force of the Soviet army. From top to bottom, the Soviet officers and soldiers looked back on history, and all the foreign enemies who invaded Russia never defeated the Russian General Dong! As a result, the vast number of officers and men have a little more hope of victory, provided that they can hold on for the next three months!

Is this possible?

Timoshenko had a keen insight that the so-called stability of the war situation was only a very short intermittent period. The reason why the Germans stopped attacking was because they had logistical problems, and on the other hand, the Germans also fought high-intensity battles for three weeks, and their manpower and material resources were also stretched to the limit. What's more, the German army also had to actively consume the fruits of victory.

After all, the Germans will have a time to rest, and then they will definitely continue to attack!

When German tanks and planes set out again, will the Soviets be able to hold on to this line?

In this regard, Timoshenko has only one attitude - pessimism! The command of the Southwestern Front will also retreat!
