In the city of Idrichatsa, in the headquarters of the 21st Mechanized Army, the roar of Major General Lelyushchenko was loud and could be heard almost throughout the city.

"It's been twenty-four hours, and we've only advanced the front less than two kilometers, what are the troops on the front line doing? Are all Germans supermen? Are the positions of the Germans all made of diamonds, which cannot be destroyed even by aerial bombs and heavy artillery? ”

Chief of Staff Kapushkin frowned, forming an obvious "Chuan" shape.

After Lelyushchenko finished venting, Kapushkin said: "The terrain there is too complicated, our superiority in forces cannot be used at all, every time we relaunch the offensive, we must brave the German artillery fire to clear the road, drag away the remains of the tanks that stand in the way, and the German air force in the sky has never disappeared, although our air force is trying to block it, our troop movement is still blocked."

Let's put it this way, in the past twenty-four hours, the two kilometers of front we have advanced have been completely paved with corpses and blood by the infantry, and you look at the trucks that transport the corpses to the rear, and every crevice of the carriage is stuffed with dried blood clots. We urgently need infantry now, the more the better, the tanks will not play a role, we can only rely on the infantry. ”

"Excuses, excuses, all terrain problems, all to cover up your incompetence・・・・・・" Lelyushchenko shouted.

Hearing Kapushkin's mention of the Luftwaffe, Lelyushenko suddenly remembered something important.

"What about translation? Where is the translation? Did the Germans finish translating the leaflets? I want to see what those damn German planes threw down? ”

Kapushkin clenched his fists tightly, and with great difficulty managed to control the punch he almost threw and twisted his head to the side.

Lelyushchenko's roar was heard. In the corner of the command center. Sit at a typewriter. "Crackling" The speed of the translator's fingers hitting the keyboard instantly skyrocketed by 200%, and it landed on the keyboard like a butterfly wearing flowers.

Just when Lelyushchenko's eyes almost burst into flames, the interpreter tore off the white paper on the typewriter, waved it and said to Lelyushenko: "I'm done translating, Comrade Commander." ”

snatched the blank paper from the translator's hand, Lelyushchenko quickly browsed it, and Kapushkin also turned his head curiously and stood next to Lelyushchenko to read it together.

"The Iron Cross Act. The German fascists went so far as to link the sacred medal with the rotten title of nobility, which is a trampling on the honor of the military and a reversal of history. And here, I can't believe that the rank of the medal is mixed with money and taxes. The medal is a symbol of heroism, a representative of supreme glory, and it is a shame for the Germans to pollute the sacred medal with dirty money, and it is a shame for the Wehrmacht to degenerate to such a degree. No doubt. This bill is a ****-like bill, and the Germans actually want to use this vulgarity. No, it's a vulgar means to raise the morale of their soldiers, degenerate, it's so depraved. ”

Kapushkin quietly listened to Lelyushchenko's denunciation of the Germans, did not make any comments on the tirade of his old comrades-in-arms, but quietly took the leaflet in Lelyushchenko's hand.

After reading it several times, Kapushkin said: "Can we look at this leaflet from another angle? ”

Lelyushchenko glanced at Kapushkin and asked: "What angle?" ”

"Can we understand that the German army in the Pustoshka area is on the verge of collapse, and the German troops on the periphery are blocked by our rearguard units and cannot be relieved in time, and under the high-intensity fighting, their consumption of personnel and weapons and ammunition cannot be replenished in time. In order to save the German army that was about to collapse in the encirclement, the Germans urgently formulated this "Iron Cross Act", hoping to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers with rotten noble titles and dirty money. ”

Listening to Kapushkin's statement that "the German army is about to collapse", the dark clouds in Lelyuschenko's heart suddenly dissipated a lot, and a little sunshine appeared on his face.

"You have a point, our losses are great, and the Germans are certainly under more pressure than we are. They are not superhuman, they are also flesh and blood, they will also die, they will also be afraid, and they will also have the limit of psychological endurance. At this stage of the battle, whoever has the stronger mental endurance will be able to win the final victory. Lelyushchenko once again made a tirade.

"We have twenty-four hours left, and we have to put pressure on the Germans incessantly, to break them down completely mentally and physically," Kapushkin said. ”

A long rough breath erupted from Lelyuschenko's nostrils, and the "Iron Cross Act" from Kapushkin's hand was crumpled into a ball.

"In any case, our 21st Mechanized Corps must be the first to enter the city of Pustoska, and we must prove to the Germans with our victory, as well as the 'Your Excellency Brother-in-law' who is hiding in the city and dreaming of being a hero, that this bill full of low-level fun is a **** general bill, and it will only become a laughing stock in the military history of mankind."

After Lelyushchenko finished speaking, he threw the paper ball in his hand into the wastebasket.

・・・・・・

The focal point of the war, in the city of Pustoška, in someone's temporary residence.

Chen Dao rested his legs on his desk, his back on a wide chair, and his arms folded in front of his chest.

On the other side of the desk, Major Bach stood side by side with four people lined up, facing "Chen Dao".

The expression of "Chen Dao" was very serious, and the expressions of the four Major Bach were by no means lively.

After staring at the four of them for nearly a minute, "Chen Dao" picked up a blank piece of paper on the table.

"Now, it's up to me to read out the punishment for your treachery."

"Major Bach."

"Yes." Major Bach stepped forward, standing as straight as a javelin.

Chen Dao glanced at the blank paper in his hand, and then said: "As an officer of the Luftwaffe, as my adjutant commander, you actually led my adjutants to betray me en masse, so I will punish you in the way unique to the Luftwaffe." When you return home, I will have you tied up and hoisted you on a rope behind the plane and flew into the blue sky. Enjoy the thrill of being a trapeze artist once. Go ahead. Which aircraft do you want to choose to help you with this punishment? I would like to approve that you can choose any type of aircraft in the Luftwaffe. ”

"Can I give up my choice?" Major Bach said.

"No, you have to choose one." Chen Dao said.

"I choose the JU-52 transport aircraft." Major Bach said.

"Aunt Juncker flies slowly, and your choice is wise." Chen Dao said.

"Next, Major Lorenz." Chen Dao looked at Major Lorenz.

Major Lorenz stepped forward and stood side by side beside Major Bach.

"Given that you are only an accomplice, and that you are from the Navy, the punishment for your betrayal is lighter. Considering that you usually work as a translator and radio, your physical fitness is relatively poor. I think it's necessary for you to work out more on your body. So, your punishment is to squat a thousand times a day with weights. Is there a problem? ”

A relaxed look flashed on Major Lorenz's face at first, and then he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No problem, I am willing to accept any punishment." ”

"Very well, but there is one detail I want to tell you, your weight is fifty kilograms of aerial bombs, the kind with a fuse, and for your personal safety, I suggest that you do the crouching. It is better not to let the bomb fall to the ground. ”

I knew that this was the way His Excellency did things. Major Lorenz was speechless for a while, and could only say, "I sincerely accept Your Excellency's kindness. ”

Seeing that "Chen Dao" turned his gaze to himself, Captain Nobel took the initiative to take a step forward.

"Captain Nobel, you are from the Army, and you like to engage in some inventions and creations in armaments in peacetime, and I just happen to have a new idea in armaments, which needs your full cooperation." Chen Dao said.

"What idea?" Captain Nobel was instantly shaken.

"I recently plan to develop a new model of the 'human cannon' based on the 800mm Gustav cannon. The human cannon, as the name suggests, fires not cannonballs, but human shells. Captain Nobel, would you like to show a little dedication and be the first human bullet of our human cannon, so that the gunners will put you into the barrel of Gustav and shoot it? ”

The corners of Captain Nobel's mouth twitched for a long time, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence.

"It is my duty to dedicate myself to invention and creation."

"Very good, I appreciate your dedication, worthy of the subordinates I have cultivated." Chen Dao smiled and turned his gaze to Captain Nietzsche.

Captain Nietzsche took the initiative to step forward, and Major Bach and the three of them also held their breath and listened quietly to what vicious methods "Chen Dao" would use to punish Captain Nietzsche.

"Captain Nietzsche, you are from the Waffen-SS and should know what the three deputies mean."

"I know."

"The first of the three represents represents advanced combat effectiveness, so your punishment is related to our latest weapons."

"I am willing to accept all punishment to atone for my sins." Captain Nietzsche said.

"I've decided to send you to Penemünde, our missile base, and stuff you into the warhead of the V-2 missile, just like you stuffed me into the plane. Then send you to the sky, and if you're lucky, you might fly to the moon and become the first person to land on the moon in human history. Hmph・・・・・・"

Chen Dao sneered a few times, and then said: "I have thought of the moon landing speech for you. It's a small step for me personally, but it's a giant leap for humanity. What do you think of this testimonial? ”

"It's very moving." Captain Nietzsche said.

"Very well, that's it. But I'm very responsible for telling you that I'm only responsible for sending you to the moon, and as for how to get back from the moon, you can figure it out yourself. Chen Dao said.

"All the consequences of the moon landing are my own responsibility, and you don't need Your Excellency to worry about me." Captain Nietzsche said.

"Hu ・・・・・・" and "Chen Dao" let out a long sigh of relief.

"I have completed the first task given to me by His Excellency the Governor, I have read out the punishment plan for you, and you are liberated and can move freely."

Major Bach also relaxed, and sat down in their chairs with cold sweat wiped from their heads.

"Your Excellency has given us two tasks in this telegram, the first task has been completed, the key lies in the second task, if the second task cannot be properly completed, I dare to guarantee that the punishment plan for us just now will definitely become a reality." Major Bach said.

"We are worried that it will be useless, and the key to completing the task lies in the Lord in front of us." Major Lorenz raised his chin at "Chen Dao" across the desk.

Seeing that the eyes of the four people were focused on him, "Chen Dao" lowered his legs and sat upright.

"Believe in my strength, I will definitely follow the orders of that Excellency and convince Admiral Schelle."

"Convincing Admiral Shelf is only the most basic part of the mission, and in the process of persuasion, you have to show that strong momentum, you know?" Major Bach said.

"Understand, to have the bearing of a superior person in that Excellency." Chen Dao said.

"That's what it means, how do you remember your lines? Do you remember the map? Major Bach asked.

"It's all in my head." "Chen Dao" said, pointing to his head.

"Very good, let's go, after you go in, you can only rely on yourself, we can't help you." Major Bach said.

Ten minutes later, "Chen Dao" strode into Admiral Scheer's command room and walked up to Admiral Scheer's puzzled gaze.

"Mr. Admiral, I need a little time from you, I just have a new idea about this campaign." Chen Dao said.

"Your Excellency the Governor, please speak." Admiral Scheer said.

"I think that since we want to act, we must act realistically, and we must be able to deceive the Russians to the greatest extent and maximize the results of future battles, so according to the unique geography of the city of Pustoska, I came up with a bold tactic."

Admiral Scheer instantly felt a strong sense of anticipation in his heart, standing in front of him was a genius who had predicted that "France would be killed in eight weeks", and the tactics he came up with would definitely be able to give him a big surprise.

Chen Dao continued: "The key lies in this river. ”

Chen Dao's finger landed on the small river on the map.

"The river runs through the city of Pustoshka from north to south and finally flows into Lake Krupeia, splitting the whole city in half, and the part on the east bank of the river occupies about a sixth of the city, and I think we should set a trap with this river. Turn the river into an infantry meat grinder while performing a tactical deception on the Russians. ”

"What are you going to do?" Admiral Schell asked.

"My tactic is very simple, which is to let them into the city and fight in the streets." "Chen Dao" said categorically. (To be continued.) )
