If the big names of the Northern Alliance also lose confidence, the war will collapse completely.

"Is this true?" I asked.

"Of course, I've been around the big guy for ten years and know very well anything about his temperament. Now he talks to himself hundreds of times a day what to do if the war is lost. From his attitude, I understand perfectly well that he does not have any confidence in this war at all. Mikhachav said.

"If so, the Northern Alliance is in danger." I whispered.

Although there were no human figures around, it was inevitable that there would be guards and sentry walking around. If they heard my conversation with Mikhachev, it would have dealt a major blow to their confidence. As soon as the pass is spread to ten, ten, and hundred, the entire city's defense line will be shaken.

"That's what I thought, too, so I've been advising the big guys to retreat east. At the same time, I had already concealed that he had set up four lines of defense to the east, which could briefly block the attack of the Nazi ironclad troops. A delay of twenty-four to forty-eight hours is about the same. Mikhachav replied.

"Retreat further east, and soon you will reach the Bering Strait." I say.

This is, of course, gas talk, and it is far from the capital of the Northern Union to the Bering Strait. What I really want to say is that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and once they lose the courage to fight, they will never be able to stand up again.

The Nazi troops swept across Europe with the courage to be invincible and invincible, which was what the Führer had always encouraged his soldiers to do. If the big people lose their confidence, then the confidence of the Nazi soldiers will be even higher.

"There is no way around it, as you can see, now the Northern Union is far inferior in combat effectiveness to the armored vehicle units of the Nazi army. So what can be done? There is a huge disparity in strength, and failure is certain. Mikhachav replied.

"There must be some other way to save the defeat, do you believe it?" I asked.

Mikhachav shook his head: "I have already thought of all the ways to do it, including mobilizing the defense forces of the people in various places. In fact, the people of the Northern Alliance are close to death, and even the old, weak, women and children have to go to war. Women now make up more than half of our snipers. I already have a hunch that this is a war to destroy the country. ”

It seemed that his confidence had been shattered to the bare of all, without the courage of a Northern Alliance soldier, only a coward's skin remained.

After another street, a towering bell tower appeared in front of it. The bell tower has a colorful and ornate façade with a strong 17th-century court color.

"That's it." Mikhachav pointed forward.

I breathed a sigh of relief, at least this bell tower didn't bear a resemblance to the one I had before I came here.

The streets were empty, and there was not a single figure in sight. The war continues, but the city has already shown the shadow of a dead city.

"Not a single one." Mikhachav muttered to himself.

We walked up to the bell tower and slowly ascended an iron staircase.

The total height of this bell tower is about twenty meters, which is equivalent to five floors.

I've calculated that the range of today's weapons simply can't hit from outside the city to inside the city, and it's a far cry from the sniper weapons of the 21st century. That is, even if we stand on a high place, we will not be plotted by the enemy. My only concern is whether the enemy's special operations forces will infiltrate the city?

"Is the line of defense to the east solid? Did you just say that there are four lines of defense, just for the west or for all four? I asked.

This is a very important question, because there have been many cases in the history of World War II where small detachments of the invading army have infiltrated the defending city and carried out assassination operations from the inside, which directly led to the collapse of the outer city.

During World War II, the means of communication were very backward, and in many places the heralds were required to carry paper letters back and forth. Telephone and telegraph were too limited and not widespread enough. If an enemy infiltration occurs elsewhere in the Northern Alliance, the capital may not immediately know about it.

"There is no problem, we have mobile and observation posts on both the north and south sides of the capital. In particular, a defensive contingent of more than 400 men was set up on several natural barriers, which was completely able to prevent the invading army from killing us behind. Mikhachav replied.

His answer, though confident, did not reassure me.

In the face of the Nazi attack, the Northern Alliance has panicked, even if it goes all out, it is only to resist the frontal attack of the other side, and there are too many flaws to count them one by one.

Soon we were at the top of the bell tower,

The view is very wide. On the hill facing west, a Nazi flag fluttered, and the unique symbol on the flag was unusually glaring.

When I looked north and south, I saw that there were indeed several rolling hills on which the flag of the Northern Confederate was faintly visible.

When I saw all this, I was even more worried about the fate of the capital.

The Nazis could quickly make a detour to the east of the capital by sending a rapid reaction force through the valleys between the hills, cutting off the retreat of the big men with their sophisticated weapons and well-trained combat capabilities. In that case, the marshal is captured, and the remaining army will crush without a fight.

I can't express my concerns to Mikhachev, because from what he just described, the fighting forces in the city were very limited, and they could only plug the big holes in the battle line, and the small details could not be taken into account. Now we can only hope that the heavens will give the Northern Alliance a chance to survive and prevent the enemy from seizing this loophole.

"What are you thinking?" Mikhachav asked.

"I'm wondering if there is any way to quickly destroy the enemy's armored forces?" I replied.

"It's a pity that we don't have super artillery and bombers, otherwise, if we go on with a fierce attack, we can eat the enemy's armored forces." Mikhachav said.

He just fantasized that if the firepower of the weapon is sufficient, then there is no unwinnable battle in the world. The most capable people are often tossing and turning when the conditions for victory are not available, strategizing, and finally achieving victory.

At the moment, all I can think of is to cut into the enemy line alone, assassinate quickly, and destroy the enemy's living force. For this type of armored unit, the first thing to eliminate is the opponent's driver.

I estimate that the enemy will not have more than five hundred drivers. If you can sneak to the driver's house in the enemy camp, you can complete the mission quickly and quickly, turning all the armored vehicles into headless flies.

Shoot a man before a horse, capture a thief before capture the king - the ancient Chinese have made the essence of war very clear.

Kill the drivers, kill the heralds, cut the telephone lines, destroy the telegraph, these are the four things I want to do first.

"It's going to snow." Mikhachav said.

We looked up at the sky together, and the clouds were dense and the sky was dark, indicating that a blizzard was coming.

The air became unusually cold, and as we talked, white breath kept coming out of our mouths and noses.

"Blizzard was able to stop the Nazi army from attacking." I say.

"I hope so." Mikhachav shrugged his shoulders.

Looking at the way he looks, there is no hope for this.

"Extreme low temperatures can freeze the enemy's armored vehicle lubricating oil, the gears cannot work, and the armored vehicle cannot move forward." I continue to explain.

Mikhachav shook his head: "You know what? The extreme low temperature can also make my people incapacitated, because our military supplies are almost empty, everyone is wearing autumn clothes and hiding in the bitter cold, the index finger is frozen with the trigger, and even the trigger is completely frozen. ”

Of course, this is a very serious problem, the war consumes too many supplies, cotton clothes, cotton shoes, cotton hats are not available, and there is no specific time for delivery. In this kind of weather, if you don't have enough warmth, you will definitely get frostbitten.

"The fighting must be resolved as soon as possible." I say.

In fact, the battle in the bitter cold left both sides exhausted, because the Nazi armored units outside the city were also short of supplies. Coming from the warm mainland of Germany to the bitter cold land of the north, the soldiers also complained of bitterness. This war is like a string that gets tighter and tighter, and if it doesn't stop, the string will break. Maybe it was providence that I came here, and God asked me to stop this war and give the Nazis and the Northern Alliance a result.

"Have you tried an assassination?" I asked.

"Of course, of course." Mikhachav replied.

"The result?" I asked.

In fact, the answer is not to say, but also to know, if the assassination worked, this war would have ended long ago.

"Our assassination squad has been sent twenty times in total, and we have lost 400 men in vain, and we have not received any results. The only thing to be thankful for is that the enemy also sent an assassination squad, which was also eliminated by us. Mikhachav replied.

"Who are you sending?" I asked.

Mikhachav sighed: "At the beginning, of course, they were the best soldiers in the army, in addition to sharpshooters, there were also free fighting experts and military command talents. However, in hand-to-hand combat, we certainly could not take much advantage, because the combat effectiveness of the Nazi army was simply too strong. Later, we can't send out elite men, we can only but—"

"It's extremely inhumane that you've used a lot of women in combat." I say.

"For the sake of the country, for the sake of the nation, for the defense of our cities, even if it is to send women into battle, what is wrong?" Mikhachav retorted.

"You know you're wrong, and war is not bottomless." I say.

When the army of the island nation launched a massacre in Nanjing, in the Central Plains, they had already penetrated the lower limit of the war, which caused the indignation of people all over the world. War is not a massacre, and the devastating slaughter of humanity like the island nation will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever and will not be released.

In the same way, while I admire the courage of women in the Northern League, this state of fighting is anti-human.

"Mr. Long, let's not discuss such issues, because these women also know that if the capital falls, it will be the elderly, the weak, the women and children who will suffer first. The Nazis claimed to be kind to the people of the occupied territories, but what they did was outrageous. Mikhachav said.

I was silent because I couldn't refute his words.

In the unspoken rules of war, the will of the occupying forces is irresistible, and they have the right to dispose of the inhabitants of the occupied areas at will.

"I'll fix this." I pointed to the west.

"What do you want to do?" Mikhachav asked.

"There is no more clever way to sneak out of the city and carry out an assassination operation, as you did before." I replied.

"Never underestimate the fighting power of the Nazi army, which was the best of the Axis powers after a long period of excellent training." Mikhachav reminded.

I did notice this while reading World War II material.

The combat effectiveness of island soldiers is more than three times that of ordinary Chinese soldiers, in other words, on a frontal battlefield, three Chinese soldiers and one island soldier can be tied, and that is still under the condition that the weapons and equipment are exactly the same. Judging from the international military strength comparison, the Nazi soldiers fought with the soldiers of the island countries, and they were also one against the other.

This is a very terrifying number, but it is only limited to the aspect of free fighting, and when it comes to the battlefield, a soldier's shooting ability, running ability, and ability to understand the commander's orders are even more different.

Therefore, when the Nazi army, under the command of the Führer, swept through Europe with a blitzkrieg, all the achievements were not blown out, but fought day by day.

Under the circumstances at that time, it was not that the countries did not want to fight, but that they could not fight, and had to submit to the iron heel of the Nazis.
