On April 12, 1942, the "Three-Headed Banshee" operation officially kicked off!

At this time, the 9th Army of the Soviet Army was attacked by the most terrifying attack by the German army!

Under the German absolute advantage of air and ground artillery fire, the 9th Army was in chaos.

Then, under the order of Marshal Ernst Bleme, the Skeleton Division and the Klester Group jointly launched a fierce attack on the 9th Army!

Terrible, the tide of German tank troops appeared!

That's not a quantity that Russians can imagine

The roar of the tank made the earth tremble; the roar of the assault guns made the sun bleak; the roar of the German soldiers made Kharkov blood flow into a river!

The left wing of the 9th Army quickly suffered a breakthrough after the German army launched a general attack.

It's completely unstoppable!

What's even more terrifying is that the German army, which made a breakthrough, did not seem to be ready to eat the troops immediately, but moved quickly to the rear of the Soviet assault troops.

At this time, the 9th and 57th Army of the Soviet Army entering Kharkov were at risk of being cut off by the Soviet Army in half!

Kharitonov tried his best to stop the battle from collapsing immediately, but the powerful German army could not stop it.

Timuxinge's orders came one after another. The 9th Army must withstand the pressure of the frontal battlefield. The 57th Army must block the German breakthrough troops and follow-up troops must arrive immediately. The artillery fire must be given frontal support.

But all orders have no effect in the face of the unstoppable German army!

In the second phase of the Battle of Kharkov, the "Three-Headed Banshee" plan achieved amazing results from the beginning!

By the night of the 12th, the German assault troops had broken into forty kilometers behind the Soviet army, cutting off the Soviet army's communication and material channels!

The 9th Army of the Soviet Army has become a turtle in the jar!

At night, the German army continued to attack. The cannons and tanks were full of fierce attacks like clockwork. The German combat assault squadrons were constantly interspersed and divided the Soviet army.

The German army fully utilized their firepower, number of people and combat quality advantages.

The 9th Army was unable to organize effective resistance at all.

Sometimes, a dozen German trench assault squads could occupy a Russian position without any injuries under the cover of a tank.

At 10 o'clock in the night, the Flariakush Division of the 9th Soviet Army collapsed under the German attacks, and its division headquarters was most directly attacked by the 2nd Skeleton Infantry Regiment of the German Skeleton Division.

When this combat regiment commanded by Colonel Van der Winey learned that he had bitten the enemy's division headquarters, he immediately burst out with the most fanatical fighting enthusiasm since the war started!

Colonel Van der Winey reported the good news to Marshal Ernst Bleme as soon as possible.

Marshal Ernst Bryme told his subordinates:

"If I could see the body of Mr. Flariakush, I would reward you with a bottle of 1918 rum!"

"For rum, attack!"

When Colonel Van der Winey issued this order, the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Skeleton Infantry Regiment were a little confused.

They've never heard such a strange order

For rum - offensive!

Such a strange cry resounded in the 2nd Skeleton Infantry Regiment.

"Everyone has a bottle of rum!" Colonel Van der Winey tampered with his superior's order for the first time in his military career: "The Baron will reward each of us with a bottle of rum!"

For the Baron's rum - offensive!

At this time, Wang Weiyi didn't know that his subordinates' orders put him on the verge of "dangerous" of heavy bleeding

The combat energy burst out from the 2nd Skeleton Infantry Regiment is frightening.

Under their uninterrupted attack, the Flariakush Infantry Division could not stop the German tanks and infantry.

Major General Flariakush can already hear the shouts of German soldiers

A terrible battle!

From day to night, Major General Flariakush had lost a large number of soldiers and completely lost supplies.

The connection between the troops was completely cut off, and Major General Flariakush had only one poor battalion.

They can't stop the Germans,

Major General Flariakush had already prepared a pistol, and of course, one of the bullets inside must be left for him.

The sound of tsunamis like mountains and tsunamis kept coming, and there was no one around Major General Flariakush. All the people who could fight had been sent to the battlefield.

The enemy's tanks are assaulting, and the enemy's infantry are assaulting the Flariakush Division, it's over!

He could not contact his superiors or his subordinates. He knew nothing about how many soldiers he had lost on the battlefield.

As a commander, is there any greater sorrow than this?

There were already screams from his soldiers and German voices outside.

Major General Flariakush knew that the last moment had finally arrived!

At this time, he saw several Germans rushing towards this aspect of him. He picked up his pistol and fired several shots in a row, knocking down a German.

But this is useless!

More enemies rushed towards this place!

Major General Flariakush smiled bitterly, then turned the gun back and pointed it at his temple

During the "Three-Headed Banshee", Major General Flariakush was the first senior Soviet officer to be killed!

Is it over? No, it's just the beginning

Looking at the body in the Russian general's uniform on the ground, Colonel Van der Winey said proudly: "Give power to the baron just one word. 'I like your rum'"

“I love your rum.”

"Is that only one sentence?"

"Yes, Marshal, there's only one sentence."

"Van der Winnie did it." Wang Weiyi smiled faintly.

"But Marshal, I also heard about an unfortunate news."

"What kind of news?"

"It is said that Colonel Van der Winnie told all the soldiers of the 2nd Skeleton Infantry Regiment in your name that as long as you kill the Flariakush Division, you will reward them with a bottle of rum each."

Wang Weiyi was stunned and after a while, he touched his nose and murmured:

"Can anyone tell me what should I do with this damn guy Van der Winey?"

"Marson, there is news that makes you sad."

"Tell me, tell me, I'm going to spend a lot of money."

"Compared with this, that's nothing. It's circulating everywhere now. As long as you can win the Battle of Kharkov, you will reward each German soldier with a bottle of the best wine."

Wang Weiyi fell silent

Maybe it is a good idea to let Xiaoling forcefully activate the Tsengguang Military Base at this time and escape from this terrible place.

The death of Major General Flariakush and the collapse of the entire Soviet military division were just the beginning of a disaster for the 9th Army of the Soviet Army.

After an entire night of attack, the 9th Army was divided.

One night, a large number of Soviet soldiers were killed, a large number of Soviet officers were killed, and a large number of Soviet troops were annihilated.

No matter who it is, it is no longer possible to reverse the collapse.

General Kharitonov also saw this fact clearly.

Since the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, this may be the fastest collapse of the army.

There is only one day and one night

What else can I do? Apart from suicide, Kharitonov couldn't think of a second way to go.

Even if you can break through, you will inevitably be punished by the most severe punishment from Moscow.

Kharitonov wrote his suicide note, which praised the Soviets and expressed his determination to devote himself to the great Bolsheviks.

At least, this can help your family less involvement

When dawn came, Kharitonov received the news he least wanted to hear: Major General Flariakush, his loyal subordinate, was killed.

He sighed, it was his turn to be below

One bad news after another came, the 9th Army had collapsed in full swing and the soldiers were being massacred and shot by German troops.

A large number of soldiers died, were captured, and surrendered, and the best fantasy of Kharitonov was also shattered.

It's time to end all this painful thing.

Kharitonov drove away his subordinates and asked them to break through on their own. Even the Chief of Staff was driven away by him.

He doesn't want his subordinates to see what he looks like when he commits suicide

He pointed the gun at his head, but after thinking for a while, he still stuffed the gun into his mouth.
