In June 1941, the German army suddenly launched an attack on the Soviet Union without warning, when the German army had 5.5 million bombers in front of it and 5.5 million troops in front of it, rushed to the Soviet positions without the Soviet Union reacting, so that many Soviet soldiers were defeated on the spot by the enemy before they could react in time.
At this time, the Soviet 23rd Infantry Division, which was supposed to rush to the front line, was stranded in place because it failed to contact its superiors in time. The commander of the Soviet 23rd Infantry Division, Colonel Jeskin, his duty was supposed to lead the army together to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, but although he sat in the position of division commander, he had almost zero experience in actual combat, and he panicked in the face of the current situation and did not know what to do.
It was such a division commander with almost zero combat experience, but he liked to hold various meetings. As a result, the division commander, unable to obtain exact orders in this war, ordered all the officers of the division to hold a mobilization meeting about the war. At this time, the outside of the house had long been covered by the sound of gunfire, and the corpses were everywhere, but the division commander was still able to calmly let all the officers at all levels of the division hold a meeting.
Before the meeting, he also specially instructed his soldiers not to distribute bullets at will, and under the orders of their superiors, they were absolutely not allowed to engage in unauthorized combat, and they could only stay in the camp and were not allowed to go anywhere. Colonel Jeskin went into the house with his officers for what he called a mobilization meeting, leaving a group of soldiers in the camp and looking out at the battle.
Colonel Jeskin, as usual, expressed his opinion of the battle, but in fact he knew nothing about the battle, but he could still talk about it for a long time, and suddenly he pulled out a plan and told everyone that it was the secret weapon that could be won in this battle, but the officers of the whole division could not be pleased.
The plan in the hands of Colonel Jeskin came from 1939, and it had been eaten in the corner since it was written, until Colonel Jeskin took it out, and the division commander wanted to use the plan written 2 years ago to deal with the German army, which was now no longer much stronger than two years ago, which was a ridiculous idea.
Finally the speech of Colonel Jeskin was over, but after he had finished speaking he did not immediately send the plan to the officers, nor did he organize the soldiers to be ready, but ordered the deputy division commander to speak for them, and the officers had been waiting for them urgently, but the division commander did not seem nervous. Continue to let the deputy division commander make a speech, which is another very, long time. The war outside was getting more and more intense, and the enemy's footsteps were getting closer and closer to the room, but the meeting continued like a meeting that could never be finished.
Half an hour later this ridiculous meeting was finally over, not because it was over, but because German artillery had reached the gate. In one fell swoop, the armored forces broke through the place where the camp, which had no one to resist, rushed straight to the meeting place of Colonel Jeskin. It was too late, it was too late, and everyone was captured by the Germans without resistance, and because of the absurd actions of the division commander, more than 10,000 people in the whole army were destroyed on the spot in just half an hour.
