"Ahem!" As soon as Bruce came over, he heard such a lively conversation, and his throat became uncomfortable, so that he coughed several times, and woke up Bowman, who was looking at Wren from the side, and he quickly ran away, walked to Bruce's side, and pulled him away, trying to avoid this terrible place of right and wrong.

"Bruce, you big bear! If you feel uncomfortable again, I'll cut it open for you to see what's inside!" Alice, after all, was relatively thin-skinned, and in shame she took out the latent temperament of the female tyrannosaurus, and shouted angrily to Bruce, who was being pulled by Bowman.

Wren didn't speak, but when Bruce passed by, he kicked on the other party's buttocks, with little strength, but it showed the attitude of the car master at this moment. Andre on the side laughed heartily, then walked to Wren's side, looked at Alice with a red face, raised the corners of his mouth and said: "If the war is over, if you don't die, I will officiate the wedding for the two of you!" ”

Wren looked at the mountains in the distance, sighed and did not speak. In his heart, he thought lonely: Is the war over? Will he really be able to live to that time? After all, there is still a difficult Wolf between the end of the war and the end of the war.

Seeing Wren looking into the distance there, Alice calmed down her nervousness, looked at Andre, who was like her eldest brother, and said writhingly: "I didn't agree to marry him, you want to marry me, wait." ”

Andre looked at the two people who were both interested in each other, but were ashamed to speak first, and thought it was very interesting, and wanted to laugh again. But he pointed to the distance, following Bowman and Bruce away: "The biggest mouth in our car, Mr. Bruce went in this direction, and there was tank No. 112 parked over there. ”

After that, he had an expression that I could only remind you so much, and stopped talking nonsense. Alice was slightly stunned, and quickly rushed in the direction where the two people left. Bruce, who was the most willing to talk about other people's private party news, and Marcus, who was arguably the most important person in the entire 502 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, was the damn Marcus - or in a few minutes, the conversation would have spread to the entire 502 Battalion. Then, perhaps a morning, a rumor that Wren was going to marry him—or even more exaggerated—would surely reach the ears of all the soldiers of the German 3rd Panzer Division.

"Bruce, if you dare to say more, I'll kill you!" Alice shouted, causing a group of Soviet prisoners around her to turn back, and more German soldiers laughed at a female soldier and rushed murderously to the other side of the road. A dozen grenadiers, shouting and heckling, lit the cigarettes they were holding in their hands.

Who knows, maybe two hours later, maybe even shorter, the troops will have to attack again, try to cross another enemy line, some people will die there, some people will lose close friends, so the most important thing is to enjoy every minute and every second now.

The soldiers who survived the battlefield cherished life, because only in an environment where breathing is a luxury and death is a relief, can they understand what a luxurious moment it is to pour a cup of coffee and hum a small tune to enjoy the tranquility on a sunny afternoon.

Guderian's offensive did not stop, the 1st Panzer Army under his command stormed southward, destroying cities along the way, almost all the efforts of the Soviet Red Army to block the advance of the German armored forces in the field were thwarted by the German elite 1st Panzer Army, a company of 7 lines of defense, all were broken through, and the captured Soviet Red Army, more than 90,000 people.

And in the entire Donetsk direction, almost all the defenders are retreating, and the roads are crowded with fleeing civilians and panicked soldiers. The presence of German soldiers behind the original line of defense caused panic among everyone, and there was a massive breakdown of the troops, so much so that many units lost effective control over the rank-and-file soldiers.

Rumors are rife, and there is a mess of all kinds of theories. Some people say that the main forces of the USSR were defeated by the Germans in Kharkov, which is why so many German units appeared in the Donetsk direction, and the south was already surrounded by the Germans, and everyone was dead.

It is also said that it was the Germans who disrupted the deployment of the rear by paratroopers who cut off the bridges and roads in the rear and helped the German elite units on the front to encircle the Soviet Red Army in the Donetsk direction.

Whatever the statement, the core of it is that these poor Soviet soldiers have been surrounded by the Germans, so now they have to find a better way out for their lives, most of the soldiers left their own line of defense and began to involuntarily retreat back, so there was a huge defensive gap in the front of the entire defense line.

The infantry behind Moder's palace and part of Manstein's M Army added to the gap, widening the distance between the Soviet soldiers on the Crimean Peninsula and the Soviet soldiers in the Donetsk direction.

The chain of command in the entire southern theater of operations of the Soviet Union was in disarray, because Timoshenko was the most vulnerable to the deployment in the Donetsk direction, and the soldiers there were also mostly new recruits, with few decently trained recruits. In such a situation where they were about to be encircled, a soldier of this quality had little choice but to rout.

The Soviet Union has a very unique system for the formation of reserve forces, and in peacetime, the combat units of the Soviet Union generally have two deputy division commanders, two deputy regiment commanders, and so on, all the way to two deputy platoon commanders.

Although the newly formed troops only have a set of deputy system of the original army, the system itself has been cooperated for many years, plus the temporarily replenished reservists, they can fight immediately, this shadow system, in another time and space, supported the Soviet Union's victory over Germany, and in this time and space, it still exists.

The advantage of this system is that it can quickly turn one division into two divisions, but the disadvantage is even more obvious, that is, the combat effectiveness of a division formed later is very obvious. This time, the Soviet Union transferred too many main forces for the offensive in the north, and what was left for the south was basically this kind of improvised reserve force.

Now the sequelae have finally erupted, and the ability of this improvised unit to fight alone is very limited, and there is no problem when fighting against the wind, but once there is a headwind situation, it is easy to collapse. This is also the difference between professional soldiers and temporary recruits, when things go well, everyone knows to shout slogans and rush forward, and when a unit is really tested, it is often those really tricky and difficult defensive states.

Therefore, Army E on the Northern Front did not just lose 100,000 soldiers, in fact, after hard fighting, Army E also tempered at least 200,000 elite infantry, these soldiers experienced the harshest defensive battles, and with the support of another 100,000 veterans, they survived their biggest test.

In this way, Germany has relatively smoothly passed the period of weakening its combat effectiveness caused by the expansion of its forces. With the exception of Army Group A, almost all German frontline clusters were involved in the battle on the Eastern Front, and the brutal fighting also trained almost a million recruits into elite soldiers.

Accardo's calculations were very clear, and he was ready to fight a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle in Donetsk to destroy the living forces in the southern part of the Soviet Union and achieve the goal of liberating the main force of the German army.

Then let the two DE armies under the command of Moder and Manstein, plus the Romanian servant army, attack the Caucasus to the south and control the oil field resources of the Soviet Union, and the liberated Guderian stormed from the south to the north, cooperating with the Italian expeditionary force and Army F to flank Kursk and Smolensk.

At the same time, Army Group A attacked Moscow, covering Army Group E, which was fighting alone in the north, and captured the important cities of Leningrad and Kurmansk in the Soviet Union. The three marches together and rush to Moscow to end the war. The end that awaited the USSR would be the end of the land reparations, and this is the script written by Accardo. Of course, in fact, it is not up to him alone to determine how far the war will develop, in fact, judging from the overall situation now, the Soviets are much more tenacious than the Germans estimated.

For example, according to the original plan, the German Army Group A should cooperate with the German forces in other directions to encircle the Rokossovsky offensive cluster and completely annihilate the main Soviet force, but judging from the results, the Soviets jumped out of the German encirclement, discovered the crisis with a keen sense of smell, and laid a defensive line to withstand the tentative attack of Army Group A.

But on the southern front, the Soviets fared worse, losing the dismal resistance of the Soviet troops commanded by the middle class, and although some units fought very stubbornly, many more were defeated. The defeat was like a mountain, and the rout implicated more Soviet Red Army who originally wanted to hold the line and stabilize the defense system, so that until 11 days after the German armored forces began to move south, a large number of troops did not receive the general directional order to hold the line or retreat.

The reason is actually very simple, Stalin in Moscow made another mistake and began to dictate the troops on all fronts because of the unfavorable situation on the front. He did not vent his anger on Zhukov, but he took out his anger on Timoshenko, who ordered him not to retreat and to let the southern defenders hold their positions until the last second.
