In the midst of the bombardment of the German air force, the rumbling sound of explosions and the explosion of strings of blazing fireballs, one after another, smoke and fire, mixed with the frightened shouts and terrible shouts of the wounded Soviet soldiers and medical personnel.

But a quarter of an hour later, the weather was unusually cold, and the bitter cold wind could directly freeze some thinly clothed people to death, and even if they did not freeze to death, they would be frostbitten.

Even at this moment, neither the German nor Soviet artillery could be aimed, and the machine guns and other automatic weapons and equipment were almost all out of order because the weather was too cold.

Even the tanks and armored vehicles on both sides were too cold for their engines to start.

And the snowflakes in the night sky are also more and more, falling more and more densely.

In the face of such a sudden cold winter weather, for a time the battlefields of the German and Soviet armies were briefly silent, and even those bombers who were still bombing just now, and the fighters who were engaged in brutal battles, all left the battlefield in a hurry, because the function of these planes was also affected by the bad cold weather, and they had to evacuate immediately, otherwise the consequence would be that the machine failed and fell or was hit by the enemy and fell.

However, many of the Soviet medical team members and wounded soldiers who had been bombed by the Germans were bombed into black corpses, scattered in the forest, lying in a mess.

"Marshal Moder! It's a big deal! ”

"The weather is too cold for most of our weapons and equipment to use, and quite a few of our soldiers are frostbitten, especially those who cling to our thick client states without us!"

When such an unexpectedly cold winter situation occurred on both sides, the chief of staff, Colonel Everfeldt Halhelt, was the first to rush to the front command where Moder was, shouting worriedly.

The chief operational staff officer, John Hertz, also hurriedly followed him and came to Moder to wait for the other party's instructions.

"Is this the case with the Soviet army like us? Are most of their weapons and equipment also unusable? Including their tanks and planes! ”

Hearing this, Moder asked with a deep frown.

"Yes! According to our observations of the situation and the contacts of our spies within the Soviet army, the situation of the Soviet army is exactly the same as ours! ”

The Chief of Staff, Colonel Everfeldt Halhert, nodded in agreement.

"Then the Soviets are still fighting with us?"

Modell asked.

"There are still some of them fighting desperately with us, but quite a few troops are retreating!"

"Because there are many officers and soldiers in the Soviet army who do not wear such thick winter clothes as we do, especially those damned partisans and those sports units from Leningrad, which we are besieged!"

The Chief of Staff, Colonel Everfeldt Halhelt, continued to answer.

"All our officers and soldiers who can still use weapons and equipment and wear thick winter clothes will be sent to the front line to continue fighting, and all other officers and soldiers who are thinly dressed, including our client state troops, will be evacuated and reequipped!"

Modell gave decisive instructions.

"Then do we need to report back to the Führer? Because the weather is now completely beyond what we could have imagined! I'm worried about even colder weather in the sea! ”

"In the unlikely event that we do not report these sudden surprises to the Führer, I am afraid that he will punish us if something bad happens!

After hearing this, the chief of staff, Colonel Everfeldt Halhert, immediately reminded Modell.

"Yes! I'll send him a telegram right away! ”

Moder glanced appreciatively at the Chief of Staff, Colonel Everfeldt Halhelt, and nodded in agreement.

"In that case, then I'll go and evacuate all the troops who lack thicker winter clothes for rest and reequipment!"

The Chief of Staff, Colonel Everfeldt Halhert, said with a slight smile.

"Hmmm! Thank you, it's all over to you! Colonel Halhelt! ”

Moder thanked.

"Hey! We all have to do what you tell us now, and we can't let you go wrong and ignore it! ”

The Chief of Staff, Colonel Everfeldt Halhert, shrugged his shoulders at Modell as if he were an old friend and smiled.

"Then I'll go to the front line immediately and observe the battle situation for myself!"

"I absolutely can't let the Soviet army take advantage of the cold weather to give us an unexpected surprise attack and kill us by surprise and heavy casualties!"

"In a situation like the destruction of the Sixth Army Group, I will never allow it to happen again!"

Modell said with a smile as well.

After saying that, he took the chief of operations staff officer John Hertz and hurried to the front line to reconnoiter the battle situation.

The chief of staff, Colonel Everfeldt Halhert, did not say much, and immediately went to remove all the troops that could not stand the cold or had been frostbitten according to Moder's instructions for refitting and resting.

And the situation was exactly the same as that of the German troops commanded by Moder, whether it was Zhukov's troops, Manstein's troops, or the troops commanded by Vasilevsky, they all immediately did the same withdrawal and redressing.

And at this moment, the weather is even more unscrupulous, and even the blizzard is blowing.
