Текст о Великой отечественной Войне 3 часть

Suddenly attacked units of the red Army were forced to engage in heavy fighting without the necessary training and without completing the strategic deployment. Under the blows of the advancing enemy, the soldiers of the red Army were surrounded, suffered heavy defeats and failures. During the three weeks of the war, German troops managed to completely defeat 28 Soviet divisions. In addition, more than 72 divisions suffered losses in men and military equipment (from 50 % and above). Our total losses only in divisions without taking into account parts of strengthening and combat support during this time amounted to about 850 thousand people, up to 6 thousand. tanks, at least 6.5 thousand guns of 76 mm caliber and above, more than 3 thousand anti-tank guns, about 12 thousand mortars, and about 3.5 thousand aircraft. The enemy also lost about 100 thousand soldiers and officers, more than 1700 tanks and assault guns and 950 aircraft [7]. That testified to the ferocity of the resistance of the red Army. And yet despite this, of course, the initial period of the war for the USSR was catastrophic.
