At the same time, Vincent and Leona's side, after receiving Trode's order, began to rush towards the target coordinates. On the road, you can see that there are many troops rushing to support them together, although it is impossible to tell which squads they are, but from the perspective of the degree of clustering, there are many support groups like them, only two tanks, after all, the current situation is not for the squad in each position, it is not the level that can be dealt with by talking.

Since this support operation did not set up a staging point, but required them to reach the target location as quickly as possible, Vincent and Leona did not have to spend time waiting for infantry and other things, and in order to quickly guide the troops to the target location, the Germans had temporarily established a safe fast passage, as long as they followed this line all the way, they could reach the breach that was breached.

Although there is no rally point, all units will be uniformly dispatched at the target location, and Vincent is not in a hurry to think about the specific operation steps, he is now doing a job that Trood has not told him - to observe the defense of friendly forces.

The difficulty of this defensive battle can only be compared with the defensive battle that Trod they conducted near Tripoli, although the number of two enemy attacks is not much worse, but this time is obviously more difficult, because compared to fighting a defensive battle in the city, this kind of terrain of wilderness and woodland is indeed not so easy to defend, coupled with the scarcity of long-range strike weapons this time, the German army can only be in a state of passive defense.

Along the way, although the Soviet offensive was quite ferocious at some moments, none of the positions were really in crisis or suffered heavy casualties, but even so, there was still a gap that was opened. The tactics of the Soviet army on all fronts dragged down the vast majority of the German troops. Then use a powerful impact to break through directly, and then use this gap to launch a domino attack on both sides. This tactic is very conspicuous, even a junior officer like Vincent can understand it at a glance, and those staff officers and commanders in the rear cannot think of it. But in the face of this situation, they have no intention of using reserves. Instead, the inefficient method of calling reinforcements from various units was used. Vincent had doubts about this, but after reporting the situation to Trode, he understood the reason for this.

With the number of Soviet troops facing them now, it should not be impossible to force a second such breakthrough, and if the reserves were used under the first major offensive of the Soviet army, it is difficult to say whether the Soviet army will simply transform this offensive into a feint, and then it will be difficult for the Germans to draw troops to deal with their second assault.

And in their rear in Trood, in the headquarters of the 47 Division......

"Colonel. The filling work is going well, and the Soviets are expanding their forces, but according to the information sent back from the front, there should be no big problem. Buttermes pointed to an area above the combat sand table and said to Anselm on the side.

"Colonel, I suggest that the reserves be moved to the south." Beside the two of them, a staff officer pointed to a flat ground above the sand table and said, "If they want to create a second breach, they should choose to stay away from the first breach, in order to avoid our large army." In this case, it is more likely to be in this position. ”

Anselm listened silently to his advice. When the man had finished speaking, Anselm did not say a word, but fell into deep thought.

"I don't think so, Colonel!" Seeing that Anselm did not speak, another staff officer, who had been hesitating on the side, put forward his opinion: "We cannot fully confirm the exact number of enemy troops in front of us at this time, and it is not impossible if they gather forces to make another breakthrough in this vicinity. So I don't agree to move the reserves to the south, even if the location is really empty, just a little more troops need to be sent now. ”

However, this man's speech was an opportunity for others to compete for their opinions, mainly around the use of reserves. Unlike these endless staff officers. Buttermes and Anselm only said a few words, and only a handful of opinions were expressed.

However, no matter how intense their discussion is, the final plan is still up to Anselm to decide, and everyone present is very familiar with Anselm's character, so even if what they say is well-founded, they are actually very uncertain in their hearts. Seeing that everyone had almost finished their opinions, Anselm nodded, then pointed to the tactical sand table and said to Buttermesse on the side: "The reserve team advances to this position to the south and waits." Then, when the situation has stabilized, all the troops that have rushed to support are to be regrouped, and the exact numbers are reported to me, and no group is allowed to leave the site until I give the order. ”

"Yes, Colonel." Buttermes saluted Anselm and immediately trotted out. The staff officers watched him go, and although some of them were completely unheeded, everyone knew that Anselm was going to make a big move. Although there was a high probability that some actions would be taken rashly in such a battle, which would lead to uncontrollable consequences, they were not surprised, after all, Anselm was a maverick commander who rarely fought according to conventional routines.

While the command was arguing fiercely, Vincent and Leona's car crew also rushed to the target location, because their initial position was far away from here, so when they arrived here, the friendly forces that arrived first had barely contained the Soviet offensive, and waited for the arrival of their follow-up troops to completely fill the gap.

But even so, Vincent's task was not an easy one.

Since each squad commander had to keep an eye on his own position, and in order to effectively unify their command, most of the tanks that rushed to the aid were assigned to the infantry position as a subordinate unit to cooperate with them in battle. Infantry commanders put them at the front of the position, used to resist some firepower to reduce infantry casualties, and at the same time, they could also use the firepower of tanks, which was a more modest solution.

However, Vincent and Leona's group was not among them...... (To be continued.) )
