"Alright......" Paulus put the map aside and said to his communications soldier: "Send a telegram to the headquarters in clear code, our whereabouts have been exposed, and request to answer at point 'C' to assist our troops in breaking through." Just after Paulus sent this telegram, both the Soviet Union and Germany immediately obtained the telegram, but the reaction was different.

The Soviet response was still quite fast, because it was a telegram sent in clear code, so it didn't need to be professionally cracked to know the information inside, but because of this, the Soviet army had doubts about the authenticity of this telegram. In the Provisional Command, most of the staff officers believed that this was a false message deliberately sent to them by the Germans, in order to make them even more panicked at this time, after all, in such a period, only fools would send reports in plain code. However, there were also some staff officers who said that the telegram might indeed be genuine, and their basis was very simple, that is, this 'C' point. Obviously, this 'C' point was determined by the German army before, and even if the report was sent in clear code, the Soviet army would not be able to locate the 'C' point on the vast defensive line, so it would be a bit obscure to mislead them. The two sides argued, and some of the smarter ones ignored the arguments on both sides and began to look for 'C' points in the defensive line.

Even if the information is false, or if the 'C' point doesn't exist, it's not in vain. Because judging from the current situation, it would not be wrong for the Germans to make a big move in their formation, and only one ammunition depot was currently suffering, although the loss of ammunition was indeed very large, but this was not a resource that they were in need of now, so this was still acceptable. However, in terms of war damage, it is completely unacceptable. Judging from the recovered information, at least until now, the Germans still have zero losses, as for them, at least two squads have been severely damaged and lost their combat effectiveness, and the loss of patrol squads cannot be counted for the time being. But it's certainly not going to be less.

In addition, the current war on both fronts is not very good, and morale is getting lower and lower, so it is particularly important to encircle and suppress this presumptuous German army at present. However, if they had known about Trode, they would have beaten them like this with only two squads of troops, and they would have been able to kill a lot of people in that instant.

On the other hand, the Germans were also studying the telegram sent back by Paulus, and there was only one reason. Because they didn't have a single 'C' point, and they didn't make a deal with Paulus about explicit reporting. While the crowd was talking, Anselm walked in, looked around the crowd with his eagle-like eyes, and beckoned an adjutant to his side. The adjutant trotted over and whispered in his ear: "Captain Paulus has sent a telegram back in clear code, the content of which is...... But we don't have a 'C' point! ”

"Hmm......" Anselm nodded silently. He said to the adjutant, "Show me where they are." ”

The adjutant immediately ran to the map, pointed to it and explained: "The location of the ammunition depot is here. From the above analysis of the incident, we believe that Captain Paulus should have succeeded. In this case, there are several retreat routes he reported before. ”

Anselm carefully looked at the map and said to the adjutant: "Strengthen the forces in this area of Position 24, and if you find the captain, take the initiative to respond immediately; And also. Thirty minutes later, an attacking formation was formed at position No. 72 and a feint attack on the Soviet position. ”

The adjutant received the order and immediately went down, but the staff officers surrounded him, and they did not understand why Anselm could give the order so hastily. This is a matter of the fate of the first squad, if the first squad is surrounded and annihilated, the loss of the 47th Division is not as simple as the strength of a squad, this is the collapse of the example, and the blow to morale will be very huge. At this point, some people had even begun to complain about Anselm's decision to agree to the first team on this dangerous mission.

And Anselm didn't bother to explain it to them at all, he simply said to them: "This is Paulus's trick, you have been deceived by him." "I hastily fooled this matter. However, only he can understand Paulus's farce, which is a boring joke told by the boring man......

Paulus and Anselm have a close relationship, but when Paulus communicates with Anselm, he feels like he is more than an ordinary commander. However, Anselm knew that Paulus was at fault, and that this man was so lacking in humor that Anselm, who sometimes liked to make bad jokes about his subordinates, would not want to take pleasure in him. However, perhaps aware of this, Paulus decided to make up for this aspect that he did not value, but it turned out to be tragic......

For example, the information in front of him seems extremely obscure to outsiders, but with a little analysis of the situation, Anselm can conclude that there is information, because this expression is completely the same as the joke that Anselm has heard and Paulus tells - first of all, the 'C' has no special meaning, it refers to the letter 'C' itself. But here we have to start from a rather tricky angle, namely that the 'C' first appeared in Semitic texts around 1500 B.C., but this doesn't matter, even if the person who knows the entry point doesn't know this history, as long as he can know that the 'C' appeared in B.C. In B.C., the year was recorded backwards compared to today, and if the 'C' in the third place of the twenty-six letters was reversed, it would be twenty-fourth. The result is as simple as that and puzzling.

Truth be told, even Anselm, who loves to smile, can't laugh at all after hearing Paulus's jokes that have no laugh at all, and the only thing he can do is sigh. As for Paulus, he still seemed to be enjoying himself, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him at all......

And this time the reason for his report was almost guessed by Anselm, and he only showed a weird smile at this, and then said to himself as he walked: "Paulus, you are really good, it's all on my head." (To be continued.) )
