"Is it really that serious??" Merr tilted his head in thought.

"It's more serious than that..."Xia Ming's answer made him take a deep breath.

"Okay, what do you say?" Mer finally decided to follow him...

Xia Ming actually didn't have a good way, so he could only take one step at a time.

********

It was fast in the middle of the night.

At this time, on the vast snowy field, a long army was slowly marching forward.

The bombardment continued throughout the day and showed no signs of abating. There was even a fierce air battle on both sides in the afternoon, and this time the Germans did not win, but the opposite side provided even more frantic support.

Xia Ming didn't find a good opportunity throughout the day, so he only attacked at night.

Although the aerial bombardment did not stop, at least the field of view was greatly limited.

He ordered all the stormtroopers to be draped in white cloth, and even the tents were used to fill the numbers. Relying on his strong observation, he slowly rubbed to the edge of the front position.

"Stop, all squat." Xia Ming made a gesture, and the troops quickly stopped moving.

The sky soon flew over several planes, and large lights flashed from above.

To be honest, Xia Ming has no choice, if he waits for another day for the opposite side to attack, it is better to fight.

The positions on the two sides were only a few kilometers apart, but he walked for several hours on this stretch. Now it's icy and snowy, and the nights are even colder, and I don't know if everyone can hold on.

He knew that he was pushing everyone to a dead end, but when he gave the order, no one objected. It was an honor for him to fight with such a group of excellent soldiers.

After squatting in the snow for two minutes, Xia Ming took the binoculars and observed them carefully. They were already approaching each other's positions and were going to rush forward with all their might. He needs to find the best point of assault...

"Anna, are you still holding on??" He asked Anna in a low voice as he observed.

"No problem, sir. We're all set. Anna shivered from the cold, but her hands holding the rifle did not move.

95%...

Xia Ming looked at his task prompt and secretly clenched his fists, and it was almost there...

Creeping forward, bypassing minefields and blockades, a decisive battle is on the verge of breaking out...

********

At this time, the stronghold in the trenches of the defense zone somewhere in front was brightly lit.

A Soviet non-commissioned officer lit a cigarette under an oil lamp, rubbed his hands, found a place to sit down.

"Come on, take a sip." The comrade-in-arms next to him smiled and handed him a wine jug.

"Haha, you still have this kind of good stuff." The non-commissioned officer took a refreshing sip with the flask, and his whole body was hot.

The occasional sound of bombing outside made them particularly excited tonight. It's rare to have a comfortable night listening to the other party's constant bombing. Most of them were veterans of the Stalingrad defense, and remember that at the beginning of the German attack on the city, thousands of planes were dispatched to bomb the city day and night. Many of the brothers were killed at that time.

"MD, damn German dregs, blow them up! When will the offensive start? ”

"Tomorrow their end will come, haha"

"Come on Butz, sing us a song."

"Good..."

A bearded non-commissioned officer took out the accordion with great interest...

Just as everyone was about to sing a revolutionary song to lift their spirits, there was a fierce exchange of fire outside.

"What's the situation??" An ensign hurriedly put on his helmet.

"It was reported that an unknown number of German troops in front had suddenly launched an attack on our position. Their firepower is fierce and they have broken through the first line of defense. A soldier hurried in.

"What?? The Germans attacked us?? The lieutenant thought he had misheard.

You must know that there are planes bombing ahead, and it is now past 1 o'clock in the morning, and it is cold outside.

Putting aside these objective factors, one's position is no longer considered a periphery, but there is a large area of minefields and early warning areas outside, how can there be no movement? ?

But none of that matters anymore, facts are facts.

"Hurry up and lead your team to defend me, and I'll ask my superiors for instructions right away. Don't these guys want to live? Dare to attack us? Don't even think about going back when you come! ”

"Yes!" Everyone quickly carried out the order, and a fierce battle officially began.

************

An hour later, Xia Ming led his troops to break through several lines of defense in front of them, embedded in the Soviet army like a nail, and even had their backs to the Volga River.

96.3%, which is less than 3%.

"We have to build our own defense lines, and we must move forward steadily." Xia Ming's current position is also very embarrassing, and it is easy to be attacked from both sides. First of all, you must be prepared to defend, first defend against the enemy's onslaught, stabilize the situation, and then move forward.

"Where will their headquarters be?" Xia Ming brought his ability to the extreme. As the saying goes, if he can destroy the opponent's command system, it will be much easier to scatter the sand.

"Haha, we captured 5 tanks." At this moment, Hook, the commander of the armored regiment, ran over excitedly,

This kind of task, the commander of his armored regiment, is naturally very aggrieved, but it doesn't matter if the tank can't be driven, he can capture the enemy.

Due to Xia Ming's surprise attack, many troops were killed before they were ready. For example, most of the armored troops in the rear are still resting and have not received military orders at the first time.

"Good." Xia Ming patted him on the shoulder heavily. But his heart was heavy, and he felt that the troops here were all elite, and the situation must be very fierce.

**********

“... What, our positions were attacked ?? At this time, at the command headquarters, Zhukov was about to rest for two hours, but was hurriedly woken up.

He really did not expect that the Germans would dare to take the initiative to attack in such a situation, and they would normally be ready to defend. What is the difference between such a seemingly brave and sending it to death?

Are they still delusional about the decapitation operation??

How naïve!

He was not a fool, and had already moved his headquarters to a village further aarse.

Quickly cheered up and came to the command post, where everyone was waiting for his order.

"What's going on now?" Zhukov sat down very calmly.

"Report to the general, according to the current report from the front one minute ago, this German force should have roughly the strength of a division, and they have broken through the defense on this side to the Volga and formed a defensive line. The 17th Division, which was responsible for the defense, suffered heavy losses, including the armored regiments in the rear, which were also broken. ”

"Well, how long ago was that? Why is it only reporting me now?? "At first, Zhukov thought that it was just a position that was attacked, and this has already been hit? According to his thoughts, it is impossible to do it in half a day.

To be honest, he didn't think it was possible for half a day.

You know, they're bombing each other's positions...

“.... Report to the general, this group of Germans is very strong. They, they only took an hour. Originally, we received a report that we could hold on until daytime, but you haven't closed your eyes for a few days, and we want you to rest a little longer. "The staff officer really can't talk anymore.

"Bastard!! The Seventeenth Division is a bunch of rubbish, even a bunch of pigs can hold up for a while, and I'm going to remove him. Where is he now?? Zhukov couldn't believe that things had come to this point.

"The commander of the 17th Division, Khalif, asked me to convey his attitude to you, he will immediately launch a counteroffensive, swear to defend his dignity to the death, and must kill Xia Ming to atone for your sins."

"Xia Ming?? Is it his division?? I see, yes, great! Do you really think I can't deal with you?? Zhukov quickly calmed down when he heard Xia Ming's words, pressed his forehead and walked to the side of the battle map.

"You immediately order Khalif not to launch a counteroffensive rashly, but to consolidate the current defensive line first, and wait for him to attack, understand??

The 8th and 11th Guards Divisions were ordered to quickly reorganize their troops and encircle from the east and west, with the 7th Panzer Division providing fire support. ”

"Yes!"

"That's right, wait. Xia Ming's troops are strong in combat, and our losses will be very large. They must have come here to attack our headquarters, so we'll give him an opening here and let him take the initiative to attack. ”

Zhukov drew a circle in the center of the map, and here was the previous headquarters. Give them some hope and let them give up the defense, so that the losses will be relatively small.

The most important thing is that he really wants to capture Xia Ming alive, if he has the chance...

He really wanted to see if this guy really had three heads and six arms...

But in any case, if he dares to attack, it will be difficult to fly.

Six divisions were deployed here, and follow-up troops continued to advance.

By tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be 10 divisions...
