Although the Scud missiles are not as powerful as the Patriot developed and produced by the US military in the 80s, and there is no way to achieve a 90 percent success rate in attacking the enemy like the Patriot missile, they were still quite effective in using them in combat during World War II, especially when launching a surprise attack that could not be prevented.

By the time Zhukov reached his positions near the front, he already knew that he was late.

Because the positions of the Southwestern Soviet Front were full of deafening explosions, thick smoke billowed out, flames were soaring, potholes were everywhere, and the worst thing was that the troops of the Southwestern Front had suffered heavy losses, and almost half of their troops had been completely wiped out.

For such a short attack time, an army of hundreds of thousands was annihilated by almost half of the troops, which really shocked Zhukov and them.

Of course, after the German missile attack was completed, the German aviation unit also suddenly appeared over the positions of the Southwestern Front like a ghost, and carried out carpet-like saturation bombing.

And many of these bombs are incendiary bombs, and bombshells.

and the factor of desperate fighting with Moder's troops in the past two days, for which the Southwestern Front of the Soviet Union was almost annihilated by more than half of its troops.

"At all costs, immediately evacuate the southwestern Soviet Front from the battlefield and send it to the rear for rest!"

Zhukov looked at the miserable situation of the Soviet Front, which was less than one-third of its troops, and gave the order to evacuate with a lot of pain in his heart.

As soon as the words fell, an operational staff officer beside him hurriedly went to convey the order.

Because no one can see that as long as the German army units suddenly attack and encircle and annihilate at this time, then the Southwestern Soviet Front will definitely be annihilated by the whole army here on the Dnieper River.

Even if the German army does not send an army to attack, as long as they will launch a large number of missile attacks, coupled with ferocious aerial bombardment, then the southwestern Soviet Front will be more than lucky, and I don't know how many soldiers will be left after fighting to the best.

Or there will not even be a regiment of troops, and maybe not even a company.

Therefore, as soon as he thought of such a terrible consequence, the combat staff officer did not need Zhukov's urging to rush out and give the order to evacuate.

It's a pity that his action is still a step late.

Because at this critical moment, the troops of Moder and Manstein, with the assistance of Ukraine's 500,000 troops, are also encircling the Soviet Southwestern Front and preparing to be completely annihilated.

"Not good! Immediately inform the armies of all sides to immediately dispatch troops to support the Southwestern Front desperately, otherwise one of our front armies will be in front of us and watch them be completely annihilated by the German army! ”

"In addition, let General Malinovsky immediately, no matter what, he must be desperately evacuated, otherwise I don't have to wait for Comrade Stalin to punish him, I will dispose of him first!"

Seeing this, Zhukov immediately put down the military binoculars in his hand and hurriedly shouted loudly to another combat staff officer.

As soon as he finished speaking, the second combat staff officer immediately moved as quickly as the first combat staff officer, and he also took several combat staff officers with him and went separately to inform the other fronts.

Because by doing so, they can improve their communication speed and efficiency.

"Could it be that our Southwestern Front Army and Group are going to be completely annihilated here?"

Looking at the Southwestern Front not far in front of him, where the battle situation was becoming more and more dangerous, Vasilevsky, chief of the General Staff, also said with a worried face.

"No, it won't! I will never let such a thing happen, otherwise I will not escape the punishment of Comrade Stalin! ”

Zhukov shook his head worriedly.

And he also made up his mind at this moment, no matter what the price he had to pay, he could not be completely annihilated by the Germans in this way.

Because it is not only about his own future, but also about the lives of the entire army of more than 800,000 people, although there are now 600,000 casualties, but how to say that the lives of the last more than 200,000 soldiers must be preserved.

Moreover, once the German army is completely annihilated on one side, it will definitely have a great impact on the morale of the entire Soviet army camp to resist the German invasion.

Especially in the current Ukraine, there are already many people who are working for the German army to deal with the Soviet army in order to get land and become an independent kingdom, so the current Soviet army is about to face a new turning point in the war.

And this turning point was as important as the German army after the crushing defeat at Kursk, once the Southwestern Front was completely annihilated by the Germans, then the Soviet army would have a shortage of troops.

And when Zhukov conveyed all the orders for rescue operations, he himself silently hurriedly got into the car and went to the rear command headquarters to carry out command work.

At this time, General Malinovsky was also anxious to command the evacuation order, and he was flustered and sad.

Because he knew that it would matter whether or not there were troops in the southwest who managed to break through, he would not be able to escape Stalin's punishment this time.

"Damn the Germans, even if I want to die, I won't cheapen you like this!"

The more I thought about it, the more heartache and fear became, and the angry General Malinovsky suddenly roared like thunder.
