I don't know what others think, anyway, when I heard this changed combat order, the battalion commander of the Soviet Union breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He did not have to lead his own men, but only carried a small ammunition base, and attacked the German heavily fortified positions head-on - this is simply the best news.

Yesterday, when he was ordered to begin leading his troops out of the barracks and into the border area to prepare for an attack on the Germans, he saw that the entire Soviet army was not ready for war.

Most of the Soviet soldiers and their units did not receive a sufficient number of tents and other supplies.

And many of the troops had already arrived in the offensive area before they even had ammunition in their hands. These troops only had ammunition in their hands, which was simply not enough to support an attack.

Even, his small battalion commander, had the delusion that once the offensive began, the entire Eastern Front could collapse.

But in the face of all this, he was powerless at all, and under the shadow of the Great Purge, he, a small battalion commander, could only obey orders and die fighting for the motherland in an insignificant corner.

Now, someone has told him that the cancellation of the offensive plan is simply a great thing for him to cheer and celebrate......

Even so, he didn't dare to laugh out loud now, he could only force an excited expression and asked, "Comrade...... Was the offensive on the entire front canceled, or was the plan of our offensive on this section canceled? ”

"I heard that the entire attack plan has been delayed...... The word postponement was used above, but the order issued to all combat units was that the offensive was canceled. "The signal soldier told everything he knew.

In fact, he saw more than the battalion commander in front of him, and when he rode his war horse all the way, he saw many troops who were not ready for war, marching on a rough road.

Although the artillery units are ready, because of the confusion of artillery shells in reserve, many units are looking for suitable ammunition replacement.

Compared with the rigorous bone puppets, the Soviet Union has a certain gap in this regard, and the improvised offensive clusters have been chaotic in logistics support and material distribution, and the chaos is to the extent that it makes people collapse.

It is precisely because of this that the commanders of the various units did not dare to attack, and they all prayed in their hearts that the people above would change their minds.

God knows if their prayers worked, and it's a thankful thing that they don't have to go on the offensive now.

"I have to go to the regiment headquarters to make sure...... The stakes are too high for anything to go wrong. The political commissar on the side thought for a moment and suddenly spoke.

"Good! I'm here to restrain the troops, so as not to cause any trouble, Comrade Political Commissar, go to the regiment headquarters to confirm the order, and I will arrange for the guards at the battalion headquarters to escort you over! Be careful on the road. The battalion commander agreed with a smile on his face.

Anyway, he was ready, and as long as his commissar did not return from the regimental headquarters with a new order, he would refuse to carry out any orders - this is not a violation of discipline, is it?

On the other side of the border, the German soldiers who had been deployed in the trench bunkers on the position, looking at the Soviet soldiers who had not crossed the border from a distance, did not even mean to cross the border to fight after a while of noisy, and they could not understand the situation.

I said...... What did they just shout? Why didn't you call right away after the noise was over? Behind the bunker, a recruit held a Mauser 98K rifle and nervously asked the veteran next to him.

The veteran beside him didn't know how to answer this question, so he snorted coldly: "Who knows what they think...... Don't load the bullets, they haven't crossed the line yet! ”

At the beginning of the offensive, eighty percent of the Soviets would first bombard with artillery, a lesson learned from Finland brought back by German military observers.

And it is very dangerous to load your own rifle cartridges before the shelling begins. So the German soldiers did not load their bullets, but just waited, waiting for any kind of tentative attack by the enemy.

"They don't think about it, and they don't want to fight, do they?" The recruit leaned on the bunker, showing half of his head, looking at the crowd of Soviet troops still standing by in the distance, and asked curiously.

"Don't fight? That's better......" The veteran kept his shooting posture motionless, and replied casually - who would have thought that the recruit's nonsense would really reveal the truth of the matter......

In the temporary headquarters on the German border, Field Marshal Kluge and his command team were busy, and Li Le knew that Kluge was not suitable for commanding armored troops, so he was still assigned to the old infantry army.

However, it was precisely for this reason that Kluger's army group was pushed to the forefront by Army Commander-in-Chief Brauchitsch in this crisis.

"Once again! What does it mean that the enemy is on standby, and can they give us a reliable report...... I want to know: the front, exactly, what's wrong! Klug looked at the map and yelled angrily.

Let him command the front-line defense mission, this thing is disgusting enough, and now the Soviet Union is about to fire the first shot of the attack, suddenly there is no movement, which makes Klug even more weak.

He suspected that the Soviet troops were making some small moves and planning some big conspiracy. Driven by this thought, his now irritable heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Hell! Call the General Headquarters and ask the commander to ...... Know what we're going to be up to! He was silent for two seconds, and then he opened his mouth and instructed the communications officer behind him to report what was in front of him first.

"Could it be a tie-in war...... The main direction of attack of the enemy is Romania? Kluger, whose defensive position was close to the central area, suddenly thought of this problem and became even more nervous.

Diverging from this idea, it is also likely that the other side is trying to pin him down in his position and then break through from both flanks and encircle his troops.

The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and Kluge felt that he should hurry up and ask the defenders in other areas so that he could take the necessary action to protect himself in a pinch.

But before he could grab the phone in his hand, the phone on the other side called. The call was made by a new Panzer Army under Guderian, who was deployed on his flank.

What Guderian asked on the phone was very simple: the Soviets stopped in a strange place, was there some conspiracy......

So Kluge had to tell Guderian what he had encountered: "General, on my front, the Soviet troops also stopped at an inexplicable position, they were very close to us, but they did not attack immediately, which is unusual. ”

"Maybe the Führer guessed right again this time...... The Russians are posturing. "Guderian was also clearly in favor of the Führer, who over the past three months had provided him with more tanks and armored vehicles.

"Maybe it's just that the Russians want to encircle and eat me and your troops in one go." Kluge thought for a moment and uttered another, less likely guess.

"I think it can't be, Marshal." Guderian was confident in his troops: "In that case, the Russians will be too trusted...... Their appetite is not so good! ”

Not only the command headquarters of the front, but also several general commands in the rear were also impatient, waiting for the further development of things.

Now, all the senior commanders of the German army, including Brauchitsch, have finally understood that sometimes it is easier to be reassuring to fight than to wait dangerously and strangely.

Everyone is speculating about what exactly the Soviet army was doing and what was waiting for them. After waiting for a sudden attack, it will quietly retreat as if nothing had happened.

"What exactly do the Russians want to do?" At this time, this question lingered in the minds of every German commander.

And just when everyone felt that they were going crazy, and when the Soviet army was about to collapse due to the unclear order, the order to save the two countries was finally confirmed.

"Retreat! Return to our previous station...... This is the order of the great leader, Comrade Stalin, and we must carry it out unconditionally! The expression on the face of the political commissar who returned from the regiment headquarters was much more relaxed.

Obviously, the war made him nervous, and retreating at Stalin's orders was obviously a very good option to avoid war and still maintain decency.

"Get out of here! We retreat! The Soviet battalion commander finally got out of the nightmare of war and quickly gave the order to retreat, so the Soviet soldiers, who had been tossed back and forth for almost a whole day, began to leave backwards with a tired body.

"The Russians left?" On the position, the German infantrymen, who were already a little tired behind the bunker, saw the Soviets in the distance turn back, and then left the border little by little, reminding their comrades.

Soon, the news spread, more and more German positions reacted, the Soviet troops in front of them left, and the tense atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

"Are they really gone?" Apparently some people still couldn't believe their eyes, and asked in a daze.

It didn't take long for someone to be sure of what they had seen - a voice from the front shouted for joy: "O God! Prayer worked! The Russians really left! They really left! ”

Leaning against his bunker, the battalion commander of the German front exhaled a breath of turbidity, as if he had collapsed: "The Russians retreated? That's great, we're not ready yet......"
