"Enemy armored units found in the rear!"

"Enemy patrol spotted ahead!"

It was almost a matter of front and rear footwork, and traces of Soviet troops were found in the front and rear of the German squad. Trood knew that this was not an accident, it must have been the enemy who had just been attracted by the few shots of the cannon. And now, even if they don't want to solve it by force, it is impossible, the huge team is simply impossible to really hide from the eyes of such a large number of enemies, but if the war starts again, it will attract more enemies, which will lead them into a vicious circle, and it is estimated that they will be stopped by numerous patrols before they can get close to the Soviet line.

"It's now! The whole team turns right on the spot! Get ready for a assault! ”

"Huh?" Paulus's order suddenly made Trod a little confused, at this time, no matter what direction the enemy should be about the same number, rather than turning right to break through, it is more convenient to go straight out, so that you can also use the speed advantage to get rid of the enemy.

However, including all the commanders of the 217 team, they had to obey Paulus, not Trood, so the whole team immediately completed the right turn, and then under Paulus's order, the whole team began to assault.

It didn't go far before the Germans collided head-on with the Soviets, although both sides were prepared, but after all, the Germans were advancing in the dark, so they had the advantage to a large extent, but this was enough. That's how it should be......

Trode was far from expecting that there would be so many Soviet troops in front of them. Because from what they had seen before, there weren't too many patrols here, and that's why they were so free. But now it was different, they were in front of a full load of Soviet tanks, and the number was even close to catching up with their super-large squad.

What Trood didn't know was that the momentum they had created was too big. The Soviets even took this battle for granted as an attempt by the Germans to penetrate their lines, and took Trood for the sharp knife units of the 47th Division. In order not to cause any chaos in the battle, which had already been on the right track, and even more so to prevent them from trying to make contact with the German troops on the other side, this operation had to be stopped. So for Trode's suppression and encirclement, it is completely beyond the level that a squad can bear.

Coming back to the moment, Trode had to say that Paulus had really made a pretty right decision this time. Because if they had kept their original formation and encountered a similar number of Soviet troops, the first few tanks would have been very uncomfortable. But now it is different, they have changed from two columns and eight rows to eight columns and two rows, so that the frontal firepower will rise sharply, and Trood and they can still quickly carry out a devastating blow to the Soviet army with the same number of them.

The battle progressed very quickly, and the Germans had an advantage in equipment due to the fact that they had discovered their targets one step earlier. The lead opened fire, and also destroyed a number of Soviet tanks. On the other hand, the Soviets could only rely on the fire generated by the German fire, so that it was difficult to guarantee that the shells fired would be accurate, and even if they happened to hit, it was extremely difficult for the 45mm gun to penetrate the hard IV tank.

Just in the moment when you come and go. The German squad did not slow down at all, even the undestroyed Soviet tanks that staggered past them. They all just turned the turret and destroyed it. Trode glanced at his watch again, but it was still early, and even if Trode and they went around a few more times, they should be able to break through before dawn. But the thought that the Soviets had gathered so many troops in a short period of time made Trode panic.

Paulus, on the other hand, was much more sophisticated than Trode. He had also thought about the level of riot he could cause beforehand, and for now, this was the third level that could cause the total destruction of the team and was quite tricky, although it was not easy, but at the moment. But it is still in his control, maybe there will be more enemies in the future, but he has almost the same strength as three ordinary armored squads, and their combat ability is also extremely reliable, and the most important thing is that he still has a lot of killer weapons that have not been sacrificed.

"Keep moving and get back to your original formation!"

Now that they have broken through the encirclement, they don't have to move in that formation with full firepower, after all, there are only two tanks that can really navigate at night. Continuing to open the way with two tanks armed with FG-1250 Sparrowhawks, Paulus used his compass and map to check his position. At this time, it can also be seen that the drawings on his map are completely different from the one that Trode has gotten. First of all, there is no difference in the basic target area and defensive deployment, but in other respects, Paulus's map is significantly more detailed than Trood's. Troods such as the density of enemy troops, patrol areas, and troop types are also marked, but Paulus also wrote additional information about the vigilance of the enemy troops, so that when retreating, he can combine this information to accurately choose the most feasible one of several alternative routes.

However, in such an environment, it is not easy to position yourself with the few pieces of equipment you have at hand, even Paulus. So he has a seemingly simple but extremely clever method - record his own route, although he can't see the road clearly, but his speed when he is moving can still be mastered, so he used a thicker pencil to draw his own trajectory on the map, as for why he chose a thick line pen, that is to draw this line, but also the amount of error into it, as long as the position covered by the thick line pen, is near himself, the specific location can not be determined. From Paulus's thick line, it seems that the return journey they have traveled is almost a straight line, and although there were a few slight changes in direction along the way, this did not have much effect on them under his timely correction.

Although the turn assault was a crucial step in influencing the route, it was also within Paulus's permission, because the breakout point he had chosen now was quite easy to find, and as long as they didn't deviate too much from the direction, it was impossible to find the wrong target.

But even so, he drew two circles on either side of the place...... (To be continued.) )
