BXBX NOVEL Chapter 849: Finish
"The enemy may have withdrawn!" Shulka said.
"Already withdrawn?!" Veniaminko turned his head to look at Shulka, and said, "This is impossible, Miloveka is on the railway, and the \'No. 3\' highland is stuck on the road. Where did they withdraw from?" ?”
"Small road!" Shulka replied: "I believe that the Germans have given up their equipment and withdrawn from the small road! The entire Don Army!"
"Give up..." Veniaminco wanted to say something, but suddenly he was discouraged, and only said bitterly: "How can they give up their equipment? This is not like the Germans at all!"
This is a bit funny. Of course, Veniaminco hopes that the Germans will not give up their equipment and continue to stay in the encirclement, but the facts have proved that the Germans are right to give up their equipment.
"If this is the case, then the village of Butur..." Zolotarev said.
"The battle in Butur village is meaningless!" Shulka said: "I mean, for the Germans, if there is any meaning, it is to cover the retreat of German troops in other directions!"
Sure enough, when Veniamenco sent a telegram to inquire, the answer he got was that the Germans had slowed down their offensive.
In fact, it is not to slow down the offensive, but to stop attacking and switch to firing a few shots from a long distance.
It\'s just that the Soviet army in Butur Village, which has been under attack, has not realized this, or it has not yet changed its mental state quickly.
"These bastards!" Trufanov said with some regret: "Let them run away again!"
Shuerka thinks this is normal.
You must know that his opponent is Manstein. This guy is a famous German general, a well-known old fox, and even he is not inferior to Rommel... Rommel\'s reputation is largely due to the achievements of the British. Rommel made him, and Rommel\'s character made him.
The reason why I say this is because the British army and the British army\'s backward tanks and tactics are not suitable for fighting in desert terrain.
It is said that Rommel\'s character made him, because Rommel knew Hitler, so he dared to defy Hitler\'s orders and launch adventurous attacks again and again.
There is an oolong in this: At that time, the British army already had "super secrets" that could decipher the German army\'s codes, so the telegrams from Rommel and Hitler had already been sent to the British army headquarters before they were sent to Rommel.
Therefore, the British army thought that Rommel would, must, and had to carry out Hitler\'s defense order, so they didn\'t worry about the enemy\'s attack without defense at all. Unexpectedly, Rommel ignored Hitler\'s order and suddenly launched an attack again and again. I was misled again and again and made a major misjudgment of the enemy\'s situation. The result was that Rommel fought all the way to Egypt with much less troops, if it hadn\'t been for Alamein to build a line of defense full of barbed wire and mines with strong supplies , I am afraid that Rommel will be driven into the sea.
But Manstein, he was facing the Soviet army.
Although the quality of the Soviet infantry is not much better than that of the British army, the tanks are definitely better and the strength is stronger, especially the Soviet army\'s desperate charge, which is better than the British army who fled as soon as they hit it. much.
Shulka organized this encirclement of the Don Army, but it was just a tentative mentality, and he didn\'t have as much hope as Veniaminko and others.
Knowing that Manstein and the Don Army may have escaped at this time, they don\'t feel anything.
"Perhaps, they may still be in the encirclement..." Zolotarev still had a glimmer of hope: "Why don\'t we do a reconnaissance before making a decision?"
"Reconnaissance? How to reconnaissance?" Veniamenko asked back: "Plane? Or guerrilla?"
Hearing this, Zolotarev had nothing to say.
It is indeed impossible to scout.
Aircraft, if the German army wants to conceal their retreat, then of course they will send fighter planes to block the nearby airspace and prevent Soviet reconnaissance planes from entering.
In fact, this is also the main reason why the Soviet army never learned that the Te Don Army had withdrawn.
You must know that the Dedon River Army has hundreds of thousands of people. Even if they abandon their heavy equipment and withdraw, it will be a long queue. At the same time, it is still daytime, and reconnaissance planes can spot them from a long distance.
But the Soviet army didn\'t know anything, because they didn\'t have air supremacy.
Sending guerrillas is even less of a consideration. The Soviet army doesn\'t even know which direction the Don Army is withdrawing from. Unless it is possible to send guerrillas for reconnaissance within a range of hundreds of kilometers like a scatter of beans, there may be results.
But it is obviously impossible to do it in a short time.
"Then..." Zolotarev looked at Shulka and said, "What else can we do?"
"It\'s over, Comrade Zolotarev!" Shulka dropped the pen in his hand on the map on the table and said, "I mean the Battle of Stalingrad, it should be over here! We will do nothing No, it’s superfluous to do anything else! If there’s anything else that can be done, it’s to let the soldiers on the front line save their lives, their loved ones will see them, they’re alive!”
Saying that, Shulka turned and walked out of the headquarters.
Shulka needs to rest, take a few days of rest, let go of everything.
Although Zolotarev and Venyaminko in the headquarters are still a little unwilling, they also know that Shulka is right, at least judging from the current situation:
There is no point in attacking the German army. They only need to defend against the Soviet army to cover the retreat of other troops, so they will not attack.
Soviet attack is also meaningless, because sooner or later the German army will withdraw from this land.
If the land in front of me can be obtained without firing a single shot, it is only a few hours late, let alone the exchange of blood and life? !
So, Zolotarev and Venyaminko almost successively issued orders to their troops:
"Stop attacking, organize defense!"
"No attack without order!"
At this time, the soldiers on the front line didn\'t know what happened. They thought it was just a short break between battles.
It wasn\'t until they saw the German soldiers retreating in a hurry after laying the mines that they realized that they had won, and cheers soon resounded throughout the battlefield.
The soldiers shouted, jumped, and some even fired guns into the sky to congratulate... This is the habit of Mongolian soldiers, and of course it is not a good habit, especially for the Soviet army who does not have enough ammunition.
Everyone seems to know that this is an unusual victory, although they don\'t know the history like Shulka.
At this time, Shulka was sleeping soundly in his dormitory.
