Chapter 59: Night

On the night of November 6th...

Zhukov was sitting at the headquarters and was writing a book, he thought about it for two hours before finally making a decision. Operation Uranus was launched in advance, and a "thunder cutting plan" was specially formulated for Xia Ming. ”

He must now report to the leader on the importance of taking out Xia Ming and the significance of why he wanted to advance the strategic counteroffensive. I believe that with the wisdom and determination of the leader, it will definitely be passed...

Thinking of this, he thought that he had to deploy in advance.

He beckoned to the staff officer beside him, lit a cigarette and thought: "Order the 8th, 11th Guards Infantry Division, and 15th Infantry Division to quickly assemble and deploy on both sides of the defense line. The 4th Panzer Division and the 16th Infantry Division were mobilized to reinforce them. Order the 1st and 4th Aviation Commandos to prepare in advance for the first level of combat ....."

The staff officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and recorded it very seriously, this rhythm is really going to be real...

***********

At this time, Xia Ming was sleeping soundly in the barracks, since he was resting, he had a good night's sleep, what else could he do? ? No matter how anxious he is, it's useless...

He had a dream in which Anna touched his face and said goodbye, and she was covered in blood and she was dying.

"...."I opened my eyes unconsciously, and my forehead was full of cold sweat.

It would have been a nightmare for him. Taking a deep breath, Anna's figure really appeared in front of me.

She was gently stroking her cheek, and it felt so unreal.

"Anna??" Xia Ming squeezed his eyes unconsciously, he was a little unclear now whether it was reality or a dream.

"Are you awake? Am I arguing with you? Anna was still wearing a military uniform at this time, and looked at him with a distressed expression.

"Hmm, how did you get here?? The front line is dangerous right now. Xia Ming moved his body and sat up. Seeing Anna let him sweep away the haze, he was in a much better mood.

“.... Actually, I've been with the army all along, and I'm afraid that it will affect you, so I didn't come to see you. You won't blame me, will you?? Anna took off her hat, and her short blonde hair stood out. Maybe it's because I haven't seen her in a while, but tonight she's exceptionally beautiful.

"How could it be, I dreamed of you just now.." Xia Ming replied casually, but frowned unconsciously when he thought of the dream.

"Really?? Then I'm so honored, my General Xia Ming..."Anna glanced at Xia Ming meaningfully, and gently took off her military boots. sat in front of Xia Ming, touched his feet and said, "It's so cold outside..."

“... So I'll cover it for you? Xia Ming gently touched the surface of Anna's feet, which was indeed very cold. But her feet are beautiful... In fact, her whole person is flawless... Any part of it can fascinate him...

“.... General Xia Ming, what do you want to do? Anna couldn't hold back a smile and looked at him seriously.

"And what do you want to do??" Xia Ming also asked rhetorically.

“.... Hehe. Anna couldn't help but laugh.

took off his military pants very domineeringly, and quickly got into the quilt under Xia Ming's dumbfounded eyes.

"I'm cold, what can I do?"

"I have a way, you can try..."

"Okay, come on..."

"But you have to promise me one condition..."

"On what terms?"

"Don't let me stay in the rear anymore, Private Anna asks to go to war, I don't want to leave you again. If you don't promise me, you know the consequences. ”

"Okay, my last battle, we're together."

*********

The day passed quickly...

Watching the sunset, Xia Ming watched the snowflakes in his hands slowly melt.

It's a very cold day, and there are snowflakes in the sky. Tomorrow I wonder if the white world ahead will be stained red with blood...

"General Xia Ming, have you really decided to continue the attack tomorrow? The terrain here is not in our favor, and if we attack it, I'm afraid we'll fall into a trap.

We have successfully completed the goal, and the cost of attacking this position is not too great. ”

West couldn't help but remind Xia Ming standing beside him.

“.... Do even you think we've won? Xia Ming looked at him deeply and put on his gloves. Perhaps he insisted on attacking in order to complete the mission.

But he also knew that the German army was only a temporary victory, but now there was a very dangerous signal.

How many decisive defeats in history have been after complacency??

It's still a good summary of Grandpa Mao, "It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become famous and learn from the overlord."

He knew that this timeward battle would be extremely fierce, but he wanted to let everyone know that the real war had just begun. There may be hope for making adjustments sooner.

But none of this has anything to do with him, he has to complete the task, otherwise all his efforts will be in vain.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet.

The more it drags on, the slimmer the chances.

"Whew, I can only hope that they haven't finished deploying yet..."Xia Ming closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He believed that with his current combat strength, as long as the opposing side did not deploy several times the number of troops, it would be completely possible to break through. As long as you break through his mission and you're done, you can leave this crazy adventure and go home...

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare." West gave a military salute and turned to leave.

Xia Ming watched West leave and found a place to sit down, he was at the famous Stalingrad Tractor Factory at his feet. This tractor plant, which produced tractors in peacetime and switched to tanks in wartime, can be said to have saved the USSR to some extent.

At the height of the fighting, the Stalingrad Tractor Plant continued to work around the clock. The workers here, the drivers of the freshly built tanks, even went straight to the front to face the Germans. It was not until the end of October that they were withdrawn one after another.

They made great contributions to the counter-offensive against Germany.

Sitting in this industrial ruin, Xia Ming can still feel the hot work here at that time.

Lighting a cigarette in his hand, he thought about this trip to World War II, and he felt that he had completely changed. No longer a procrastinating big boy who always complains, can think like a man.

War does make people grow quickly, and those who survive have been tested...

"What are you thinking??" At that moment, Anna smiled and sat down next to him, snatching his cigarette and taking a puff.

At this time, she also changed into infantry equipment and looked ready to go.

“... I wonder if you're really going to war with me? Although it doesn't look too bad. Xia Ming hugged her with a smile. It was a luxury to be able to enjoy the world with her for a while in this ruin.

"Are you underestimating me? I'll show you that I'm better than you just in bed. Anna was quite open in front of Xia Ming.

"Cough..."Xia Ming coughed a little embarrassed.

But then again, he still doesn't have a clue about Anna's last mission.

In fact, he'd been side-tapping so many times that Anna shouldn't have been hiding anything from him.

Forget it, he doesn't want to dwell on these issues anymore.

It is not known how much time they will be able to spend together.

In short, no matter what the outcome is, they will always be separated.

"Thank you, Anna..."

"Huh? Thank me for what? Anna was very surprised, Xia Ming suddenly became serious.

Xia Ming suddenly didn't know what to say, he felt that he had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it.
