After getting out of the "werewolf" bunker group, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like we've succeeded, don't we?" Alexander asked.

"I think so!" Paulus replied: "We should convince the Führer to shrink the line!" ”

As he spoke, Paulus glanced at Qin Chuan, and then climbed into the jeep.

Alexander excitedly invited Qin Chuan to board another jeep and said, "Great, Major." I didn't expect you to use Baku to convince the Führer, the general and I were trying to prove that we couldn't hold Stalingrad, and now I find out how stupid it is...... Because that would even be considered a sign of cowardice, passivity! ”

"I'm just telling the truth!" Qin Chuan said: "I believe that Your Excellency the Führer will make the right judgment!" ”

Alexander couldn't help but let out an "oh", and then nodded as if he understood something: "That's right, in the end, the Führer needs to make a decision!" ”

Needless to say, there is still a possibility that there are bugs installed by Hitler on the jeeps, after all, these jeeps and even the planes were arranged by Hitler, which is why Paulus was reluctant to say anything more just now.

"Of course!" Qin Chuan answered: "The Führer is not like that fool of Goering, who will only say 'I can'!" ”

Then Alexander and Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing.

Maybe Goering, the reich marshal, is not something that Qin Chuan, a major, can insult, but in fact, Qin Chuan is showing Hitler that they don't know that there is a bug in the car, because if they knew, they wouldn't say these disrespectful words to the reich marshal.

On the other hand, it is Qin Chuan who is doing what he likes.

Because at this time, Goering has actually gradually fallen out of favor, and the reason is that he has made wrong judgments again and again...... Goering threatened at Dunkirk that the air force alone could destroy the Anglo-French forces, and Hitler took his word for it, and at the same time ordered a halt to the offensive in order to preserve the valuable armored forces, only to allow more than 300,000 Allied troops to flee back to Britain.

Later, he threatened that the air force bombing would make Britain surrender, but in the end it was obviously unsuccessful.

The most outrageous thing was the repeated assurances during the defense of Stalingrad that the Air Force could provide sufficient supplies for the 6th Army, but the result was exactly the opposite.

Since then, Goering has lost Hitler's trust, has been marginalized politically and powerfully, and has no longer attended military conferences...... In fact, Göring repeatedly guaranteed that the air force could support the logistics of the 6th Army, and a large part of the reason was that he wanted to make meritorious contributions to reverse this situation, but it backfired, and another failure allowed Hitler to completely put him in the cold.

Of course, nothing related to Stalingrad happened, and in this respect, Qin Chuan still helped Goering, but Goering didn't know this, and even secretly hated Qin Chuan for depriving him of a great opportunity to perform.

And Hitler, when he heard Qin Chuan scolding Goering a fool, couldn't help laughing, and said to the staff officer several times in succession: "Very interesting major! Also very talented! ”

In fact, not to mention the jeeps that get in and out of the "werewolves", even the telephones in the headquarters of high-ranking officials are equipped with bugs, which is already a "secret" that everyone does not break, that is, everyone knows it, but they pretend not to know and do not dismantle it, because they are afraid that the demolition will arouse Hitler's suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble to themselves.

So, along the way, Paulus and the others paid attention to their words and deeds and did not talk about anything, until they returned to Karachi and walked into Paulus's lounge, and several people really relaxed.

"Well done, Major!" Paulus said: "You can say that the entire 6th Army was saved!" ”

"This is what I should do, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "In fact, if I don't do this, I may have to leave this life here!" ”

"Impossible!" Alexander laughed, "You're a 'legendary sergeant'!" ”

"Now!" Paulus said, "I'm really sorry! ”

"Regret what?" Qin Chuan asked.

Paulus handed Qin Chuan a glass of wine and said, "Remember when I asked you to join my staff group?" ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "I refused!" ”

"Yes!" Paulus replied: "I did not regret it then, thinking that there was no shortage of clever people in my staff corps, but now I ......"

Paulus shrugged his shoulders: "All I can say is ...... Major, at any time, if you can't stay in the 1st Corps, the 6th Army is always ready to welcome you. Although I knew that could not be the case! ”

"Of course, General!" Alexander said: "Whoever will refuse the 'legendary sergeant' must be a fool!" ”

"I used to be that fool!" Paulus replied.

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

Hitler did not change his mind, and the order to retreat soon came down a few days later, at which time Paulus and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered the troops to enter the retreat procedure step by step...... They had to evacuate before the river froze, or it might be too late for the Soviets to prepare and attack.

A prepared retreat is certainly not the same as a retreat pursued by Soviet troops.

First of all, the supplies that are delivered from the rear are no longer ammunition...... The retreat does not require much ammunition, instead it is mine, explosives, etc.

It was the sappers who retreated to do the main work.

Sappers planted mines and explosives everywhere, from front to back, behind the trenches under the cover of the infantry in front, until only one passage remained, from which the infantry withdrew to the second line of defense and filled the passage and then continued to bury it.

Needless to say, Stalingrad demolished and blasted all factories and houses, dismantled and transported all usable equipment, and blew up those that could not be used or were inconvenient to transport, turning Stalingrad, which was originally in ruins, into ruins.

The Germans were still very creative in the removal of the rails, they made a huge crane barb behind the locomotive, which was suspended in mid-air when it was usually driving, and the barb was put down when a certain section of the track needed to be removed...... So the locomotive drove in front, and the rear hook dragged between the sleepers, and there was a "crackling" sound, and the sleepers were broken in two from the middle, and soon the whole track was a mess.

And that's not all.

Sappers would follow closely behind and tear down sections of the tracks and transport them away...... At this time, steel was in short supply, especially the best steel that could be used as rails.

Then, explosives will be planted on railways, highway bridges, tunnels, etc., explosives will be planted for blasting, and even roadbeds will be spared.

In a word, nothing useful was left for the Soviets.
