Since Chu Sinan's combat orders were truthfully transferred to the original Leningrad Front's direct combat units, they started from Luga in the west, ended in Jihewen in the east, and ended in Kirich in the south, and ended in the vast area of ​​Shipinserburg in the north, and suddenly became cloudy in war.

The Soviet army had a large-scale division of four armies gathered, and it was impossible to escape the German sight. Especially in this area, the rear base of the German troops advancing to the northeast. At the same time, the cluster command of the German northern cluster was located within the Krasnogvaljesk defense line close to Liuban.

The gathering of Soviet troops behind enemy lines this time was obviously blatant. No matter which region the troops were in, they did not care about the search of German reconnaissance troops. In many cases, they even carried out forced marching under the bombing of German aircraft on their heads. Relying on their superiority in military strength, the Soviet troops centered on the four assembly areas either forcibly break through the German blockade line during the assembly process, or directly annihilate the small groups of German troops blocking the way forward.

In the Krasnogvarjesk defense line, bald Eagle Marshal Loeb was gathering with his staff in front of the latest war zone map, carefully studying the recent combat situation on the Northern Front.

In the past few days, Loeb felt that he had never received any good news. First, the Northern Rail of the Fourth Tank Cluster was not progressing smoothly. Less than 100 kilometers away from the Sveri River, they were frantically resisted by the three armies of the Soviet Northern Front Army. The entire front was slowly advancing and suffered heavy losses.

Of course, the bad situation in this regard is not what makes Loeb feel most disgusted. The things he thinks are the things that happen within the German high-level leaders and the increasingly severe situation behind his war zone.

Just two days ago, news came from the base camp that the "liar criminal and idiot" actually removed the positions of three marshals, Foster, Hepner and Gael. Before that, the three marshals, Blauchic, Longdestedt and Guderian had been removed from office.

Loeb didn't know what Hitler wanted to do. Could it be that only the idiot Gorene, who was full of heart and terrible, could win his favor, and the others were worthless? Marshal Blauchch's talent was not enough to serve as the commander-in-chief of the army? Longdestedt and Guderian were offensive fools? Then who is suitable to command operations? Are Gorene and his SS? What a joke.

Loeb was too lazy to think about the matters in the base camp. He was now truly unwilling to worry about it. He had no concern since his son died on the front line two years ago. The only thing that supports him now is the dignity and honor of a soldier, but now it seems that the only thing he desires will be taken away by others.

In fact, two weeks ago, Loeb had already received news that there were a large number of Soviet troops operating in his occupied areas. According to Loeb himself, he had to concentrate all his efforts to clear out the large Soviet troops in the inside, and then consider the issue of advancing north. In this way, he could avoid worries.

However, the base camp did not consider this issue at all. The "great leader" had a grand plan in his mind, which was to organize another large-scale encirclement and annihilation operation, destroy the entire Northern Front and Leningrad Front of the Soviet army in one fell swoop, and thus eat up 200,000 new forces of the Soviet army.

Loeb did not want to comment too much about the greedy concept of the base camp, but in the implementation of the matter, the Soviet troops remaining in the occupied areas eventually caused trouble for the northern cluster. Now, the total number of Soviet troops gathered in four directions has exceeded 90,000, but from the perspective of regional scale, they have an advantage in every direction.

Looking at the war zone map in front of him, Loeb couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He felt that his opponent this time was not simple. Look, the four Soviet gathering areas were targeting a strategic key to a German army. Not to mention the defense line of the Sixteenth Army, he would never be able to throw away those two oil reserve stations. Otherwise, the fourth tank cluster that had been advanced to the Svery River line would be completely abandoned. At that time, what awaited them would be destruction.

Since the four strategic areas cannot be lost, Loeb considers how much troops he needs to mobilize in these four directions. His reserve team now has four divisions, and in terms of direction, they are too far from the west. They can support battles in one direction, that is, the outside battles in the Chamalaysk. As for the battles in the other three directions, they cannot obtain support from the reserve team.

Where should the combat support in the other three directions come from? Leb looked left and right on the map. There was no doubt that in order to support Mga and Shipinseerburg, two to three armies must be drawn from the offensive front of Leningrad to fill the battlefield. To alleviate the pressure in the direction of Totanlinsk, sixteen episodes and eighteen episodes must be drawn to encircle the Soviet offensive troops. Only such force adjustment can the four Soviet troops be eliminated in the shortest time.

However, Loeb was not so optimistic. There is no doubt that the tactics arranged by the Soviet generals this time were actually very simple. His purpose was to divert the forces of the Leningrad or the Sixteenth and Eighteenth armies on the southern front, so as to give them a gap to break through the attack in some aspects.

This tactical arrangement that mainly aims to lead one's nose. Although it seems very simple, it makes Loeb the most headache. The Soviet general's arrangement is that the place they choose to attack is where they cannot help. For example, this situation is like Loeb being placed in a desperate situation where there is a cliff in front of it and a trap at his feet. Advancing is death, and not moving forward is also death. The only feasible way is to retreat.

retreat?

Leb smiled bitterly. Judging from the current situation, it is obviously the safest and most reasonable way to withdraw the fourth tank cluster that had already entered the Svery River line, and to clean up several Soviet armies along the way, and at the same time consolidate the defense of the southern line. This is obviously the safest and most reasonable way to do so. In this way, although all the troops of the Finnish cluster will be lost, it can eat up the entire former Leningrad Front of the Soviet army, and at the same time, it can also consolidate the defense of the southern line. Of course, the results of the fourth cluster in the previous stage in the Beloye Lake area will be shattered, but he can continue to maintain his absolute advantage in the area near Leningrad. From any perspective, this response strategy will not suffer any loss.

However, Loeb considered that his decision would be approved by the base camp? This is obviously unlikely. According to the way the "great leader" considers the problem, I am afraid that once his idea is proposed, he will be infatuated with cowardice and fear of war.
