Chapter 47: Opportunity

"Do you really think we don't have a chance at all??" Xia Ming casually took a chair and sat in front of Anna, looking at her aggressively.

He is really a mess in his head now, and he is desperate to find someone who really understands military affairs to have a good discussion. And the person has to be someone who can say everything.

Actually, he wanted to talk to West. But he suddenly felt that he could no longer be honest with them.

It's not because I don't trust them, it's because I can't talk to them like I used to.

He can't pass his negative and pessimistic thoughts downward.

You know, this is very dangerous.

His current image in the army is synonymous with the god of war and a benchmark for maintaining morale.

He can't doubt, he can't fear, he can't fail.

If he wants to win, he can only continue to radiate positive energy. The person below can pour bitter water on him, but he must not transmit negative energy downward.

So he just needs to give orders, and he must not plant the seeds of possible failure in everyone's hearts, he must be strong.

Because it is absolutely impossible for the army to retreat, it can only go forward in the face of difficulties, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. If even he wants to retreat, what else to fight?

Everyone simply passively avoided the battle, and hid in their respective fortifications waiting for death.

He used to feel lonely.

But Anna made him feel like he had met a friend in a foreign country.

“... Maybe not, you don't really have to pay much attention to what I think. Anna saw Xia Ming suddenly looking at her so seriously, and she couldn't bear to sprinkle salt in his heart.

She knew that Xia Ming would definitely fight to the end. Even if he really wanted to stay out of his current situation, it would be impossible, and neither the enemy nor his own people would allow it.

He could fall on the battlefield like Achilles, but he could never run away with his tail between his legs like a coward.

"I want to hear the truth, and you don't care what I think. Can't you even communicate with me? Xia Ming made a look like he was going crazy. He didn't want to listen to perfunctory words right now.

"You can't win, I can't think of any chance of you succeeding." Anna gently hugged Xia Ming, she could understand his mood at this time.

"Okay..."Xia Ming sighed a little depressedly.

He felt as if he was now the overlord of Western Chu, embattled. Obviously, he can retreat, but he doesn't have this option, and he doesn't want to kill Wujiang himself...

The two were silent for a while, Xia Ming hugged Anna and said to himself: "Actually, there are many similarities between my opinion and yours, we are now at the end of the crossbow, but I can't retreat, I will fight until the last moment." ”

He also has unspeakable suffering...

"Well, I understand, I'm not afraid at all." Anna doesn't want to say anything now, just hopes that time will stand still forever.

"Hey, damn Stalingrad, how can I take this place??" The more Xia Ming thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he almost rubbed his scalp.

He really wanted to scold three times.

This cheating war, this cheating father's leadership, this cheating city...

This cheat daddy's system!!

Seeing Xia Ming's somewhat frantic expression, Anna raised her head and said very seriously: "I haven't always understood, why are you so obsessed with this city?" Don't you understand that your enemies are trying to hold you back here? ”

"I know, but I have to take this place. Because I can occupy this place..."Xia Ming said here and stopped.

I almost missed my mouth...

"What can be??" Anna looked at him with wide-eyed curiosity.

"Uh... I can complete the general's task, not to fight at the front, but to go to the rear to recuperate for a while. Xia Ming reacted quite quickly, and quickly found an excuse to prevaricate.

"Is this true? Will they allow it? Anna suddenly became interested when she heard Xia Ming's explanation, and sat up with some excitement. Although she was mentally ready to die with him, of course she hoped to live a good life with Xia Ming.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will work hard.

"Hmm... I guess it's true, you know who I am, and no one wants me to die in battle. If it weren't for the fact that the front line needed me too much, maybe I would have been transferred to a relatively safe position. My life is the greatest encouragement to the military department, and I think the above should understand this truth. ”

If you tell a lie, you have to make up another lie. Xia Ming is also a little anxious, and this reason is still reasonable.

After speaking, she unconsciously glanced at Anna, and I didn't know if she could accept this reason.

Although Anna is smart enough, she is a woman in love, and of course she will not doubt Xia Ming. And she couldn't have thought of going through that level.

In fact, she was a little excited now, because she seemed to see a glimmer of light.

She doesn't care who wins or loses now, she only cares about Xia Ming alone.

Turning on his brain to think carefully, he muttered, "Actually, I think you still have a chance to occupy this city." ”

"Huh?? We have a chance?? Let's hear about it.."

Xia Ming didn't expect Anna to suddenly come to such a sentence, and she was also interested.

That's what he wants to hear most now...

"You've been fighting for months, and you're actually in control of most of the city. With a little more effort, it is entirely possible to occupy the city. ”

Anna's words made Xia Ming sigh secretly, thinking that she had something shocking. It's the same as not saying it..

Now the Germans occupy 70% of the city, but it is very difficult to fully occupy it.

Although the Soviets strategically abandoned most of the cities, they were determined to exchange their vital forces with their constant consumption here.

The frenzied support of several core areas of the city can't be stopped at all.

Germany had to defend many fronts, but the Soviets only had to concentrate on attacking important targets. When you finally defeat them, they will come back with a more fierce wave.

The current war is no longer more capable of fighting than anyone, but of national strength and follow-up resources. The Germans had to mobilize troops and armored units to travel thousands of kilometers, and they did not know how many resources it would consume to get to the front by train and truck.

People rely on the Volga River, and they can easily transport a large number of troops and supplies from the upper reaches of the river by finding a raft.

This alone will not solve the problem...

The Germans had actually harassed them in a very frenzied manner, bombing and striking their transport units from the air at every moment.

It worked well at first, but as fuel became scarce and the Soviet Air Force slowly recovered, the situation slowly reversed.

If you can't solve the support, you will never want to take the city.

What's more, the northern industrial zone is extremely difficult to attack, and it is also a very difficult bone to gnaw.

A Volga, an industrial ruin.

It's like two vicious dogs, which makes Xia Ming like a fish in his throat.

Even if he can fight again, he can't do anything... It is impossible to solve the problem of fighting on two fronts, and it is basically impossible to complete the task of occupying the city in 20 days...

What's more, he is not a hero in the world of comics, and one person can save the world. He is now a valiant warrior at best, and his combat ability is a little stronger.

Seeing Anna staring at the map in a daze, Xia Ming still decided to discuss it with her, because he really had no one to talk to now.

Stood up and went to the map and talked.

He already sees Anna as General Paulus, and he wants to warm up in advance. When the time comes, let's see if the generals have any good advice, and that's all there is to it.

After all, his own military quality is actually not high.

To put it bluntly, he can achieve his current achievements because of his powerful skills and foreknowledge of the direction of history.

If he is asked to distribute the strategic deployment, I am afraid that he is really inferior to the generals of the group army.
