"It's fast!" Looking at the empty streets, Guderian couldn't believe his eyes.

All along, the Soviet Union was a staunch defender of every city. They rely on the city to insist as much as possible, and it has almost become a habit.

However, it seems that this time the Soviets did not follow their habits and ceded the city of Orsha.

"Order the troops to regulate their behavior and screen local civilians." A general of Guderian's level has already received orders from the Supreme Command.

The order demanded that the German troops exercise as much restraint as possible on the front lines and develop a relationship with the local civilian population. Divide and disintegrate the relations between Belarus and the Soviet Union, and pave the way for future combat operations.

Under this order, the Wehrmacht, which was already very restrained in its own behavior, became more cautious. They treated civilians with care, downplaying the effects of the occupation as much as possible.

"The Soviets are getting smarter, they are concentrating their forces on the flanks and giving up the center to us......" Guderian said to his adjutant standing at the end of the street.

Budyonny was desperately concentrating his forces in Vitebsk, where he seemed to be going to fight the Germans to the death.

And on the other side, near Mogilev, Rokossovsky is also rearming for battle. He has more elite in his hands and a lot of support.

The newly produced T-34 tanks were given to him as reinforcements. His position is too important now, so he has a lot of new equipment and better support troops.

This created a somewhat embarrassing situation for the German troops: their flanks were so dangerous that it might be difficult to continue the attack.

Guderian feared that his flank would be attacked by the Soviets - if the Soviet forces fought back locally on both sides, he would have to retreat, no matter how far he advanced.

"If they've been so stupid, we have to think about whether we've been deceived." Guderian's chief of staff came over and said to Guderian with a smile.

Then he looked at Guderian and opened his mouth to make his own proposal: "We are going to let Marshal Rundstedt attack north, and find a way to connect with Marshal Loeb." ”

"The idea is good, but waiting for the infantry to come up and then attack Vitebsk will waste too much time......" Guderian thought for a moment and said.

He was unhappy with this conservative order of attack: "It's going to waste at least 15 days of our time, time is precious!" ”

As long as you are not a fool, you can see that the Soviet Union will not easily abandon Vitebsk, where an unusually bloody battle will break out.

It is not good that the German army will have to entangle with the Soviet Union in Vitebsk for 10 days or more before a winner can be decided.

Waiting for the winner to be decided before deciding whether to continue the attack on Smolensk is obviously not Guderian's style.

And another reason why Guderian is reluctant to wait for Vitebsk to decide the winner is indeed that time is precious.

It's almost May, and he hasn't seen the rooftops of the suburbs of Smolensk yet! If Smolensk is encircled, it is estimated that it will be fought until the end of June!

And then what? Then there were fierce street battles waiting for the Germans, and the complete occupation of Smolensk was estimated to be done until July.

How could Germany have so much time to entangle with the Soviet army here? It was only at the end of July that the doors to Moscow were opened, which was really thrilling.

How long was the Battle of Stalingrad? After a total of six and a half months of fighting, Li Le only had about five months left for the Battle of Moscow.

If Moscow is not taken in November, then the cold winter will almost make Germany taste the bitter fruit of defeat.

So Guderian felt that if he could not reach Moscow in June, then he would have failed the Führer's expectations.

"Think of a way! We can't afford to spend ...... here," Guderian said, a little irritated, to his chief of staff.

The chief of staff was also depressed, he also wanted to continue the offensive and continue to advance towards Smolensk. But he didn't do it, so that the Soviet troops on both flanks disappeared.

"If it really doesn't work, we can only turn around and forcibly kill the Soviet troops on one side...... this is the chief of staff's method, and there is no way to do it.

Although the Soviets did not do it this time, it did make the Germans feel like they were eating flies - like two doors, the route of the German armored forces was sandwiched in the middle.

"Send a telegram to Marshal Rundstedt...... Can you provide support as much as possible and find a way to take Vitebsk or Mogilev...... "Guderian really has no choice but to ask for help from his own higher-ups.

"So far, that's all it takes...... However, we can let some troops advance and test the attack in the direction of Smolensk! "The chief of staff came up with the methods of the French campaign, and came up with a repeat of the old tricks.

At that time, although most of the armored troops stopped, there were still a small number of armored troops in the reconnaissance unit, but in the name of reconnaissance, they continued to advance far, far away.

It was precisely because of this advance that France was finally defeated and the feat of destroying France in a month was completed.

"That's right, let the 505th battalion rest and order the troops to cover the 502nd battalion to continue the attack......" Guderian thought about it and decided to change the battalion and move on.

After all, from the start of the Soviet-German war to the present, the 505th Separate Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, where Karjus is located, has been the spearhead of the German offensive.

Now, it's time to take a break. The battalion had taken on too many battles and was already extremely exhausted.

"I heard that the 502nd Battalion performed well when attacking Orsha's flank, and now it is time for them to be left alone." The chief of staff nodded and agreed to Guderian's arrangement.

The reason why the 502nd Battalion was not allowed to fight alone was because the battalion had no combat experience on the Eastern Front.

Now Wittmann and his comrades-in-arms have been fighting on the Eastern Front for a long time, and they already know the roots of the Soviet army.

"Then let Wittman's 502nd Battalion continue the attack......," Guderian said with his determination when he saw that the chief of staff agreed with his choice.

At the same time, in the supreme headquarters of the German Army Group Center, Field Marshal Rundstedt looked at the general in front of him and said slowly: "Since the Führer has left you and your troops until now, let me see your value!" ”

"Yes! My marshal! Me and my troops will definitely surprise the Soviets! The general smiled and saluted, and replied to Rundstedt.
