Chapter 515: The inside should be combined with the outside

Marshal Kruger really knew what to do, and Army Group Center's reinforcements and supplies to Holm soon increased in stages.

As Conrad said, the most offended by the troops are these military workers, not only the immediate demand for V1 missiles, but also other times as long as these senior military workers make some excuses, such as the equipment is not yet mature, it may affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that in fact, Conrad did not just do this for revenge.

As mentioned earlier, the radio-guided V1 missile has a serious drawback, which is that it is easily jammed.

Although this was less risky on the battlefield in the Soviet Union, because the Soviet electronic equipment was very backward. But if you use it too often, it will inevitably show your feet.

Therefore, the correct way to use the V1 should be to mix the radio-guided V1 with the completely unguided V1 as Qin Chuan said, so that it can not only confuse the enemy but also hit the target.

Once the enemy finds out and uses radio jamming, the V1's hit rate will decrease exponentially, and eventually it will be reduced to an indiscriminate bombing device.

But no matter what, it still frightened the Soviet army at this time.

Pukaev walked around the command headquarters, sat down and stood up again.

"Comrade Pukaev!" Matevich suggested: "The assault on the Third Army still needs your command, leave it to me, I will not let those Germans escape from under my nose!" ”

If it had been at any other time, even if Matevich had been given a hundred dares, he would not have dared to say this to Pukaev.

But now, Pukaev is very useful.

Because at this time, Holm has become a place of right and wrong, and no one knows whether a "plane missile" will fly over and smash itself into it along with the building with a bang.

So, Matevich's words are actually another way of saying that Pukaev retreated with honor.

After thinking about it for a while, Pukaev shook his head and said: "No, Comrade Matvich, if I leave here, we will lose this battle!" ”

Matevich understood what Pukaev meant, the new equipment of the Germans had already made the Soviets panic, if Pukaev left here at this time...... That is to tell everyone a message: the Soviet Union had no way to take the "aircraft missile", and Pukaev, as a general, fled for his life alone.

Needless to say, Matevich wasn't sure if he could control the soldiers, and even if he could, he wouldn't be able to lead them to victory on the battlefield.

"We don't have much time!" Pukaev then added: "The temperature has been rising, the weather is getting warmer, and in some places the snow and ice have begun to melt. Any idea what that means? ”

Matevic certainly knew that melting snow meant that the area around Holm would soon turn into a swamp, that the Lovati River would no longer be ice, and that Holm would be muddy everywhere...... All this would have made it even more difficult for the Soviet army to attack.

"Did you ever think that maybe we were deceived?" Pukaev asked.

"What?" Matevich did not understand the meaning of this: "What are you referring to, Comrade Pukaev?" ”

"The assassination was successful!" Pukaev replied: "Maybe we didn't succeed, they just wanted to stall for time and make us think that victory was in sight......"

Matevich nodded silently, he had already faintly felt this during this time, because the morale of the German army was not low at all but was still high, on the other hand, there was no news of the death of the 'legendary sergeant' in German newspapers and news...... This is counterintuitive, because there is no need to hide it from the rear with the knowledge of the soldiers at the front.

Therefore, the only explanation is that the assassination was unsuccessful, and the "legendary sergeant" is still in Holm, perhaps laughing at them, the Soviet officers, who are trembling under the threat of "airplane missiles".

"This cunning fascist!" Pukaev punched the table, and the cups next to him made a crisp sound because of the vibration: "He always played us like monkeys, before he was cheating, and now he is a 'plane missile'!" ”

If Qin Chuan was here, he would shout that he was wronged...... "airplane missile" was not Qin Chuan's idea.

Matevich and several staff officers around him were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and stood straight in front of Pukaev, like a group of students who had done something wrong and were waiting to be punished.

After thinking about it, Pukaev walked up to Matevich and said: "Comrade Matevich, are you ready to sacrifice?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Pukaev!" Matevich stepped forward and replied: "As a party member, I only think about fighting the German invaders in battle, and I am always ready to sacrifice my life for the USSR and Comrade Stalin!" ”

"Good!" Pukaev nodded and said, "I have a plan, this may be our last chance!" ”

"Give the order, Comrade Pukaev!"

Pukaev waved his hand to back down, and then said to Matevich: "I have thought about it for a long time, and it seems that there is only one possibility for Holm to take it!" ”

"What is possible?" Matevich asked, confused.

What Matevic didn't say was that there was no way for him to attack Holm, or that he had completely lost confidence...... This is a thought that a commissar should not have, so Matevich has not shown it.

"That's the combination of the inside and the outside!" Pukaev said: "Attack simultaneously from the inside and from the outside!" ”

"But...... The fighters we have arranged inside Holm have been lost! Matevich said: "The people don't play a big role either!" ”

Pukaev shook his head and replied: "I'm not talking about them!" ”

"So...... Is it the Airborne Forces? Matevich then shook his head again: "Holm is too small, and the airborne troops are afraid that few people will be able to parachute into it!" ”

"You've got it right!" Pukaev said: "I do intend to use part of the airborne troops, but only airborne troops!" ”

Hearing this, Matevich couldn't help but let out an "oh...... Airborne airborne troops, that is, using gliders to land.

This was a viable option, because the Germans were also using gliders to transport supplies, and if one day, Soviet gliders landed in Holm...... The Germans would even take it for granted that it was their glider.

Of course, there is a difference, the glider needs to be guided by lights when landing, otherwise it is easy to crash into the rubble or destroy the building.

However, danger was never a concern for the Soviet army.
