Chapter 1050: Difficulties
"West...... West? Trode frowned, he did not expect that he would be transferred back to the Western Front at this time, and according to Buttermes, his mission should be related to the coordination between the German and Soviet armies, but what was he doing on the Western Front in this way?
Buttermes nodded slightly and said, "Although according to common sense, your squad alone cannot play a key role, but your squad is only used as an introduction to our battle this time, and is used to lead to the real coordinated operations later." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Is it ......?" Trode's brain spun rapidly, and he immediately thought of a possibility, and in his opinion, only under this possibility, the role of his squad would be so important, but when he thought of such a heavy burden on his shoulders, he felt a little oppressed and speechless: "Is it ...... Is my squad for observation? ”
"Can you still guess? Maybe I can relax a little bit this way......" Batmes smiled and continued: "Although it is actually an observation operation, we have also won some favorable conditions, that is, your observation operation is not completed by yourself, but in cooperation with the Soviet army. ”
"That's ......," Trode turned his gaze to the side, looking at an unknown painting hanging on the wall.
The thing is that Trood needs to be a representative to fight on the German Western Front with the Soviets, and if their performance is satisfactory enough for the Soviets, the Soviets will send reinforcements to help the Germans fight back against the enemy on the Western Front. Of course, the benefits of this will not be less, but as for how much the Germans have conceded, Trood is not interested, because now he knows that the role of his squad is really the most important thing, as Bad Meth said.
After thinking for a while, Trode said lightly: "But this kind of thing, you can't let Paulus go, and if I come, it will make you worry." If there really is a mistake, such a big thing, my team and I naturally can't afford it. ”
"For an unprecedented mission like this, I naturally want Paulus's first squad to go." Buttermesse closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "But the colonel asked your team to carry it out, and I have no room for refutation." ”
"Cut!" Trode smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Just like you were before, I'm special, right?" ”
"Exactly." Buttermesse nodded, but also shook his head and said, "But in fact, even I don't understand all your peculiarities, some of which are mastered by the colonel alone. ”
Knowing that there was no way out, Trode only sighed softly, looked at the ceiling and said, "If I succeed, I think I can almost go down in history; But on the contrary, if I fail, I guess I'll really be stinking for 10,000 years. Scold! Anselm, you're there! ”
On that day, Trode and Buttermes had not spoken for a long time, but in a depth that had not been matched by any previous one, and that day Trode had received no further orders to meet Anselm a second time. So he went back to the dormitory early, and sat alone on the bed and meditated on what would happen after that.
Although Trode always wanted to make a big change, to change the tide of this damn battle. But when the real key fell into his hands, he seemed a little helpless. To be honest, he was not at all sure about the coordinated operation with the Soviet troops below.
Since it is an observation, then it is necessary to let the other party see the combat effectiveness of his side, but this is also cooperation, so he must also have a strong coordination ability. In short, where the other party can see, he must do everything he can, otherwise the other party refuses to send reinforcements because of his lack of combat effectiveness, which is a big deal.
In fact, there are not a lot of times that Trod has cooperated with friendly forces, and the number of times he has cooperated with armored squads is also considerable, which can be regarded as having a certain reputation within the 47th Division, but compared with Paulus and Derek, who are more focused on overall team commanders, there is still a gap on the line. Although Trode's missions are mostly known for his high combat effectiveness preservation rate, which is a great advantage for working with the Soviet army, on the other hand, Tlot's mission success rate is indeed not as high as that of some squads with outstanding records. Therefore, Trode may really be able to handle this mission, but he is definitely not the best candidate.
In addition, there are a number of problems that will cause Trode's headaches, the first of which is the problem of supply - because Trode needs to travel a long way to the Western Front to fight this time, the 47th Division will not follow him to the Western Front soon. In other words, the difficulty of Trode's operation this time is also reflected in the rear. Although Buttermess said that the troops on the Western Front would also try their best to assist Trode in this mission, he also asked him to be prepared to a certain extent, after all, there are only a handful of troops with such a strong logistical capacity as the 47th Division.
And the most important point is that at this time, the strength of the troops of the United States, Britain, France and other countries, if their combat effectiveness is not clear, Trode will naturally not be able to fight. When fighting against the Soviets, although many of the vehicles used by the Trood could be cheaper in terms of armor and firepower, they did suffer in terms of numbers, which limited them to usually win tactically and lose strategically.
Although Trode had also been at war with British and French forces, that was two years ago. Two years may not allow them to improve their tactics qualitatively, but the progress in equipment cannot be ignored, after all, they themselves and the Soviet Union in front of them are a living example. Leaving aside Britain and France for the time being, the American troops are Trod's biggest enemies this time, you must know that the United States can form an absolute threat to the Soviet Union alone, and Trode has no experience in fighting with American troops at all, which inevitably makes Tlot a little weak-hearted.
Last but not least, Trode was completely unfamiliar with the battlefields on the Western Front, and now he had to re-familiarize himself with the new combat mode, so how much time would he have to get familiar with the new battlefield with such a heavy burden on his shoulders?
