Chapter 1011: The Next Step
"Retreat! The back team becomes the front team! Alternately cover the retreat of the whole team! ”
After a short time, under the condition that the two German squads did not weaken their firepower due to ammunition problems, the defenders on the Soviet side finally could not hold on, and used the existing forces that were not yet weak, and carried out an alternate retreat, and although Trod did not intend to pursue, they could not completely stop attacking it until the Soviet troops completely withdrew.

"Stein, give me the map." Trood took another map that Stein had handed him that had not been used in this battle, and when Trode unfolded it, he could clearly see that this map was even more sketchy than the one before Trode—except for a brief description of some key locations, it could be said that there were no more traces on the map.
"......" Trode wordlessly drew quickly on the map with a ruler and pencil, and Hans took over the command for the time being, and the affairs inside the crew were not impossible to run without him. Even so, under the roar of the cannonballs, Trood looked down at the map as if he hadn't heard anything, and drew a few simple lines on it.
"So...... Can you only gamble? Trood muttered to himself, drawing a new line on the other side of the map, and this was Trode's last step, according to his estimates, if this path was not successful, then the probability of annihilation of the two squads was very high, so it could be said that it was a very risky plan.
Such an obvious plan, as long as anyone with a little bit of the big picture can see the danger in it, so it is impossible for Paulus, as the leader of the first squad, not to see it. If Trode had only taken the surface of this tactic, Paulus would not have agreed, because it was almost beyond the scope of his mission, and it was impossible for any of the squad leaders to take such a big risk with two squads.
Under the heavy artillery fire of the German army, the Soviets finally retreated before the tanks advanced in front of them, fortunately Trod they did not launch a pursuit, which also allowed most of them to pick up a life, although this stronghold was lost, but because there were no important military supplies and equipment in it, it was not important in terms of geographical location, so even if it was given to Trod them, it was not necessary.
And watching the retreat of the Soviet army, it was the German side that breathed a sigh of relief, because they knew that this very reluctant battle was finally over. Although the battle all the way was quite smooth, but it was also thanks to the blessing that the Soviet army did not have reinforcements, and if they were hit by the Soviet army in many directions on the way, things would not be so easy. However, just when most people thought that this was the last task, Trod's other unpleasant voice suddenly came out......
"Captain Paulus, according to our previous observations, there is another important target in the north, and that is the last goal of our trip." Trood paused slightly, but did not give Paulus time to answer before continuing: "Although ammunition and fuel are a little tight, I think as long as I save a little money below, I can probably still barely cope with it." ”
As soon as the words of "......" Trode came out, it can be said that the vast majority of people were deeply shocked. Because even if they weren't captains and didn't have that much understanding of the strategic side of things, they knew that the position of the two squads was now completely exposed under the noses of the Soviets, and their next action should be to quickly get out of the sight of the Soviets, rather than launch another attack on an important target.
Although they were lucky not to encounter reinforcements from the Soviet army this time, no one can just extrapolate that it will be the same situation next time, not to mention that they are now a little short of ammunition and fuel. Even if they were able to barely capture the 'last target' that Trode had mentioned, the rest of the supplies would certainly not be enough to support them in the face of other enemies, and this state would be no different from licking blood at the tip of a knife for a team carrying out a mission behind enemy lines.
"Captain Trode, I think you should understand where we are now." In response to Trode's almost nonsense request, Paulus calmly replied: "Even if our first squad still has the strength to fight again, does your 217 squad still have sufficient supplies?" I guess the answer is no. ”
Paulus did not directly reject Trode's plan, but spared the bend and brought up the situation of Team 217 with him, so that Trode could be knocked out by his own problems, and this method of fighting with force was a hundred times stronger than those superficial tactics at this time. Most importantly, it can shake the foundations of Team 217 itself, and if even the members of Team 217 no longer support Troll, then even if he wants to go his own way, it will be impossible.
Trood is also a person who has been sitting in the position of captain for several years, how could he not know Paulus's calculations, but helplessly, he really can't completely counterattack Paulus's words. After all, Team 217's situation was even worse than Paulus had estimated - and even if it hadn't been for that, the internal split would have existed long ago.
"There's no need for you to worry about Captain Paulus, I'm naturally sure of my team." Trode smiled slightly, "To put it mildly, I don't want to die on the battlefield yet......
Paulus saw that Trod's answer was very confident, so he couldn't obstruct it again, although Trod's plan was full of risks, but his first squad did still have sufficient combat effectiveness, even if the 217 squad couldn't count on it at that time, he was confident that he would lead the first squad to complete the task and fight his way out of the encirclement.
However, although Paulus's side has no opinion for the time being, there is a mystery within Team 217, that is, what is the important target in the north that Trode is referring to.
In fact, whether it was a group action or a group action, none of the members of Team 217 encountered any 'important targets in the north', and because Team 217 used the contact between team leaders when they were grouped, no one except Trode knew if other groups had discovered that target, and in this situation, naturally no one could ask......
