Chapter 1530: Go early and go late

The 442nd Regiment walked onto the battlefield with the determination to die. They had made the decision to write loyalty with their blood and life. Here, they made up their minds that people were in positions, and people were in positions.

But at this moment, the order to retreat came down.

At this time, he actually ordered himself to retreat? Of course not! Kolite immediately shouted: "No, we will not leave the battlefield, we will live and die together with the position!"

Although Kolit spoke English and many of the Soviets present could not understand, they could hear the firmness in his voice.

The entire 442nd Regiment will be stuck in the position like a nail.

"No, Commander of Kolite, please execute the order. Moreover, if you enter the city of Kalinin, you can better fight the Germans, urban street fighting, and fight the German tanks more easily, and this will become a model for the future defense of Moscow."

There are certainly many considerations to get them to retreat.

After all, they were reinforcements sent by Americans. If they had just arrived at the Soviet-German battlefield and were wiped out within half a month, how could they explain to the Americans? Even if they knew that the Americans were using the Soviet Union to consume these Nissi, the Soviet Union could not do this.

Moreover, since these people came to the position, they have been fighting bravely. Although they are low in size, their fighting will have always been the highest. Look at the moment, the soldiers who came out of the position to fight ambush are all Soviet soldiers retreating, and the Nissi are still insisting on fighting, even if they know they die, they will not retreat.

They are brave and cannot let them all be heroic here.

"Please execute the order." Glevic continued: "Retreat now to fight better in the future."

"Okay, I'll execute the order." Colitt said: "Order, 442nd Regiment, withdraw from the battle."

He turned his head and looked at it. Behind him, the German tank troops rushed up like a tide, and their high-spirited posture was like a wild wolf roaring at the sky.

The Germans are invincible and too powerful. At this moment, such an idea actually popped up in his mind.

The soldiers of the 442nd Regiment retreated in an orderly manner.

Kalinin City.

The artillery fire outside the city was buzzing. At this time, General Konev was still commanding the position in a calm manner in the front command.

"The 442nd Regiment is withdrawn from the city, and we organize layers of defense in the city, which will definitely make the Germans make a great sacrifice. The Bazukka of the 442nd Regiment can be launched from the roof and hit their tops. I don't believe they can still protect the tops." Admiral Konev said: "Kalinen must not be able to defend, but in this process, we must greatly consume the Germans' vitality."

In the past, he could retreat if he couldn't win. Although Stalin did not agree to retreat, his general Zhukov wanted to retreat, preserve his strength and wait for a counterattack.

But now, they can no longer retreat.

Because, behind them is Moscow.

Kalinin is equivalent to the northern gate of Moscow. If Kalinin is occupied by the Germans, the Germans can march straight into the north and attack Moscow. They want to use their blood and life to consume the strength of the Germans in large quantities. This is the mission of the Kalinin Front.

Everyone is mentally prepared.

Hearing his words, Chief of Staff Curasov said: "Yes, if we withdraw the 442nd Regiment, we can better fight the Germans in street fighting, so that they know that it is not easy to occupy our city."

Until now, there has not been a loud street battle in the Soviet Union's Patriotic War. The street battle in the city of Leningrad in history did not occur and was directly razed. The defense battle of Stalingrad in history has not begun yet. The Turkish army in the south is just heading towards Stalingrad.

"We have mobilized all the young people of the age of the city." Another political commissar said: "The elderly, women and children in the city have been transferred away. Everyone else is a soldier, and they will live and die with the city."

For the Russians, the most undesirable thing is people. At this time, it is time to block human lives.

Let the whole Kalinin burn!

No one planned to go out alive, including the headquarters here. If the Germans rushed up, then the battle would be fine.

"When the 442nd Regiment retreats, the bridge will be blown up." General Konev said. After he said that, the faces of the people present looked very ugly.

Like many cities, Kalinin is a city built on the estuary of the river. The Tymaca River and the Liutvecha River flow into the estuary of the Volga River. The river travels east-west. Most of the cities are in the south, while the north of the city is only a small part, almost even the suburbs.

The city is divided into two halves by the river.

The Germans attacked from the north, so the main defensive positions are now in the north. If they blow up all the bridges in the north of the city, the German heavy tank troops will not be able to get through at all. However, this also means that the soldiers who are still on the positions will not be able to retreat.

Their fate is already destined.

Is it worth it to defend along the river bank and fight with the Germans for several months. In order to achieve this goal, they lost the army on the north bank of the river.

Looking at the faces of the people around him, General Konev's expression was normal: "In the end, everyone is going to leave, but it's just a matter of taking one step earlier and taking one step later. Do you have any opinions?"

So, the people present had nothing to say. Yes, they could no longer retreat, they could only fight to the death here. The German soldiers were sharp and could eventually fight to Moscow. Those who were blocking the defense line around Moscow were destined to be cannon fodder.

We must have the awareness of cannon fodder, they will not die in vain. Their death will bring favorable aspects to Moscow's defense. They consumed the morale of the Germans and summarized their experience in street fighting.

At the same time, General Konev said this, which also means that he had no confidence in the Battle of Kalinin. Under the pressure of the powerful German army, no one thought of defeating Germany now.

Even though he knew it was death, he was willing to die. This is the most powerful one.

The same is true for the 442nd Regiment. Their retreat is not to escape, but to fight better.

The 442nd Regiment not only had infantry but also artillery. When retreating, the 522nd Artillery Battalion was originally deployed in the rear, but now they were in the forefront.
