Chapter 43: Super Mission

The Führer's lengthy speech finally came to an end.

Compared with most of the excited people, Xia Ming still couldn't be fully mobilized. Although he was also moved, he was not a German at heart.

And he was slightly unhappy with the Führer's approach, and he had a feeling of being used as a pawn.

However, he can understand that from the Führer's point of view, he must have seen bigger and farther than himself. The ass decides the head, and there's nothing wrong with that..

All he wants is a medal to complete the final task, everyone takes what they need, fair and reasonable...

"Now I will award this heroic warrior, the hero of the empire, Major Xia Ming, with five medals, including diamonds, double swords, silver oak leaves, knights, and iron crosses, and the great empire will win!"

As the Führer's words ended, solemn music rang out in the lobby, and everyone stood up excitedly and applauded continuously.

Xia Ming turned around and stood upright, looking at the Führer walking over very kindly. The two also understood very tacitly to shake hands, award awards, and take pictures.

Everything went very smoothly.

"Ding, congratulations, complete mission 6.

Earn a special item: Star Iron Cross.

Star Cross: Increases all attributes of the wearer by 20%. Gain special abilities, command aura.

Command Aura: Boosts the morale of nearby allies and increases combat effectiveness by 20%. The range of inspiration increases with the wearer's mental intensity. (100 meters of a little mental strengthening)

Special items do not disappear and enter the inventory permanently..."

"This prop is good, just strengthening my attributes by 20% is awesome enough." Xia Ming was very excited to see the introduction of the new props, he now has 5 points of spirit, and the aura effect is not bad.

But soon the system came back with information.

"Ding, congratulations, complete all the pre-tasks.

Turn on Super Quests.

Super Mission: Complete the capture of the city of Stalingrad by November 20 to at least 99%.

Completing a Super Quest can end the Adventure early, if the Adventure objective remains the same. ”

Xia Ming didn't know what to say when he saw such a task.

How easy is it to capture Stalingrad? The biggest problem is that the city is not surrounded at all, and the enemy is reinforcing all the time. Especially the factory area in the north and the banks of the Volga in the south, which simply cannot be stopped.

He is a person who lacks skills, let alone just a battalion commander.

In fact, he also knew that the Soviet army had been on the strategic defense at this time. In fact, the aim was only to consume the living force and willpower of the German army to the greatest extent.

After all, the war potential of the Soviet Union is still higher than that of Germany, not to mention that they are fighting on their own soil, and the strategic counterattack is already on the way.

They are now constantly producing aircraft, tanks, and artillery, which they have been preparing since September, and will soon gather forces to launch a major counteroffensive.

The "Uranus Project" officially begins on the 20th of next month. Millions of heroes, thousands of tanks full of fuel tanks, tens of thousands of artillery pieces...

The situation of the war is now irreversible, and no one can change this fact.

The most important thing was that the two Romanian armies, which were responsible for securing the flanks of the Sixth Army, were eating the pie. It's okay to be strong and strong, and it's like a dog when you fight.

In one day, the Soviet army quickly joined forces at Karachi from the east and west, completely encircling the Sixth Army at Stalingrad.

This super task is too difficult, Xia Ming can't think of a good way for a while, so he still has to go back and think about it in the long run.

The rewards of the quest will certainly not be bad, and you can end the journey early, but you must also have the ability to complete it.

Thinking of this, Xia Ming temporarily stopped his thoughts full of thoughts. Looking at the medal on his chest and the double sword and iron cross around his neck, he took a photo with the Führer.

....

The day passed quickly. On the afternoon of the 29th, Xia Ming was walking towards the headquarters of the 51st Army at this time.

After his ordination yesterday, he attended a small banquet and talked with the Führer for a moment.

Several times he tried to persuade the Führer to evacuate Stalingrad, but he swallowed it back.

Even Marshal Manstein couldn't persuade him to come back, how old is he? Or don't make trouble for yourself, not to mention how to complete the super mission if the army withdraws him??

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you should still use your brain to think about whether it is possible to complete it.

Walking past the headquarters, everyone unconsciously put down their work and saluted him.

Now he's used to it, and he's going to do it everywhere anyway...

"Hello General!" Xia Ming walked into General Kurzbach's office, and the general had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Haha, that's good. More energetic than before. Kurzbach looked at Xia Ming with a smile. This time he was also greatly praised by the Führer. When the war is over, his credit will not be small.

patted Xia Ming on the shoulder and said, "The Führer talked to me on the phone just now. He is very impressed with you and very much appreciates your commanding talents. I also have a great position waiting for you to use your talents even more. ”

Looking at Xia Ming's serious face, Kurzbach nodded slightly.

took out a long prepared appointment order from the drawer and said very solemnly: "After receiving the order of the Führer, Major Xia Ming was officially promoted to major general of the army. He was appointed commander of the 27th Division, and the appointment was immediately executed. ”

"Yes!" Xia Ming took the appointment order casually, watching his epaulette change from a major to a general, but his heart was no longer excited.

Because he knew that the day of the decisive battle that had survived so many life and death moments was just around the corner, but he didn't have a clear idea yet.

Let him hunt targets or fight a skirmish of annihilation, he is now full of confidence. But it would be too difficult for him to let him fight a battle of dozens of divisions.

In order to accomplish the goal of capturing Stalingrad, the Sixth Army had to cooperate with all its personnel. This is beyond his reach.

But if he can't complete the super mission, he will be surrounded by Soviet troops for more than two months. As a heroic figure, he will definitely be the target of the enemy's key attack.

Thinking of this, Xia Ming frowned tightly. He seems to have a choice, but he doesn't. This is the price of being a hero, he can't find a place to hide when the time comes, right?? He's not a barefoot mud leg now. If the enemy does not look for him, his own people will look for him.

"Any more requirements? Just mention, I'll try to satisfy you as much as I can. General Kurzbach saw that Xia Ming seemed to have something on his mind, and casually lit a cigarette.

Xia Ming quickly came back to his senses and thought about it, "I want to take my former generals." ”

"Yes, I'll give you all your independent battalions." Kurzbach nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, General, I don't have anything more to ask for." Xia Ming immediately stood up and saluted, this boss trusted him so much, there was nothing to complain about.

"Hehe, you don't have to thank me, just continue to do your job." The general took a deep breath of his cigarette, and he couldn't be happy with a general like Xia Ming. If his subordinates let him worry about it like this, he just needs to lie down on the credit book and drink coffee.

casually took out the commendation order and medal, handed it to Xia Ming, and said, "Go, give your hero company and generals medals, they are all good." I am proud to have such excellent officers and soldiers.

Tomorrow evening I will take you to a meeting at the headquarters of the army group to discuss the next plan to occupy the city. I hope you can come up with some strategic plans for everyone to discuss, and General Paulus personally ordered you, go back and think about it. ”

"Okay general!" Xia Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. This is a good opportunity, and if we can get the cooperation of the entire group army, there may be hope.

Thinking of this, Xia Ming quickly left the headquarters. He needs to calm down and think about it, and it will be a battle for success or failure.
