Eight hundred and fiftieth Model's wry smile
"It's snowing?"
"The ghost weather on the Eastern Front is really unpredictable!"
At this time, outside the command center of Model on Leningrad, she was wearing a winter general's uniform; Model, who was wearing a thick coat, whispered while watching the snowflakes falling in the sky.
Chief of Staff Colonel Everfert Halchert and Chief Operations Staff John Hultz stood quietly beside him, looking up at the dense snowflakes.
"How is the battle on the front line now?"
"Is it the same as when I went to inspect an hour ago? Or is there any new changes in the Soviet army?"
After watching the snowflakes for a moment, Model came to his senses and asked the Chief of Staff Everfert and Chief Operations Staff John.
"The battle situation is still fierce, but the Soviet army's offensive suddenly slowed down and gradually turned to defense!"
"At the same time, we are trying to find ways to lure the troops outside and the troops of the Allied forces such as Romania to divide, surround and annihilate them!"
"Or ambushing and sneak attacks!"
"In short, the Soviet army has used all kinds of strange means now. As long as they can kill and kill the officers and soldiers outside, and the officers and soldiers of our Allied forces, the Soviet army will use it immediately without hesitation!"
Chief of Staff Everfert immediately reacted from the silence and immediately agreed.
"Then how many officers and soldiers have been killed or killed in our current troops? Is the situation serious?"
Upon hearing this, Model immediately asked worriedly.
"We have not had many casualties, but the casualties of our various Allied forces are more serious, such as Romania, Ukraine; Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Croatia, Finland, Vichy France and other Axis powers have suffered more casualties!"
"And their senior generals also gave us an urgent report on this matter, and are waiting for Commander Model, your command and counterattack, or instructions for combat methods!"
Chief of Staff Everfelt continued to answer.
"Who is the current commander-in-chief of the Soviet army? Or Zhukov?"
After hearing this, Model was silent for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and then he said with a sharp light of vigilance.
"It's Zhukov! He came to Leningrad to command the battle, and it seems that the famous generals who came with him also had Marshal Rokosovsky!"
"So the Soviet command is still very strong. If our weapons and equipment were not better than their new styles and powerful, we would probably have more casualties from the officers and soldiers!"
Chief of Staff Everfertt agreed.
"Yeah! Maybe!"
"No matter how powerful they are, I will complete the combat mission assigned to me by the head of state. Otherwise, I will let down the marshal's power given to me by the head of state, such a huge army group, and so many new weapons and equipment!"
Model said with a sharp look on his eyes.
"I think so too!"
Before Chief of Staff Everfelt could reply, the Chief Operations Staff Officer John, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.
"You both are right, but before this we still need to solve a serious problem, which is why the three of us gathered here this time!"
"The Head of State has just telegrammed us, telling us that the new weapons and equipment transported from the empire are about to become increasingly scarce!"
"So the Head of State hopes that we can save money to use it. If we wait until our storage is used up, we will immediately lack the secret weapon to fight against the Soviet army!"
"Of course, another meaning of the Head of State is to ask us to keep our troops from falling into the bad habit of relying on new weapons and equipment to fight to achieve victory!"
"The Head of State hopes that our troops can bravely and fearlessly go to the battlefield to kill enemies without new weapons and equipment, and also achieve certain victories!"
"So the Head of State also asked us to learn from the Chinese people in the Far East with backward weapons and equipment, and the Head of State wanted us to learn their combat advantages!"
"Learn how to defeat the more with less, and learn how to ambush the troops that defeat the enemy with poor equipment!"
"Learn how to unite the morale and thoughts of the army, and the determination to fight bravely in defending the country and ready to die!"
Chief of Staff Everfelt continued to answer.
"Hey! The Head of State said so much to you, isn't it necessary for us to win a certain victory in this Leningrad Battle!"
After hearing this, Model smiled bitterly.
And John, the chief combat staff officer next to him, also felt the same and smiled bitterly.
