Although Marshal Loeb knew that if he retreated the fourth tank cluster, he would definitely arouse extreme dissatisfaction from the base camp, he didn't care about that much at this time. As a German marshal who was born in a civilian family, Loeb always had his own military creed. It was because of this that he dared to curse Hitler, but because of this, his relationship with the base camp became increasingly stiff.

In fact, since the war started, many senior German generals, including Loeb, have had a dissatisfaction with the base camp. Many of these people were from civilians and were full of disgust with the SS's atrocities in the occupied areas. They generally believed that the achievements and reputation of soldiers should be reflected in the battlefield, which were obtained from face to face with the enemy. As for those who hid behind the battlefield and made contributions by slaughtering unarmed civilians, they were all despicable and shameless beasts who were even despicable.

But then again, Loeb felt that perhaps in some cases, the SS's approach was indeed beneficial to the development of war. For example, in the combat areas of the northern cluster, if such inhumane practices were really implemented, where would these Soviet troops have room to survive?

"Marson, General Quheerer called urgently." The voice of the correspondent interrupted Loeb's contemplation.

"Take it, let me see." Lob's heart suddenly jumped. Quherel is now the commander of the 18th Army. Among the troops under his jurisdiction, two troops were arranged on the defense line against the Soviet Volkhov Front in the south. Lob always believed that among all the commanders under his command, Quherel should be the best one, and his calmness and courage are incomparable to ordinary people. At this critical moment, Quherel came urgently to call. Why is this? Could it be that something was wrong with him?

Loeb looked at the telegram almost hastily, and the contents on the telegram made the original worries heavier.

"According to our investigation, the Russian troops from Ilmen Lake to Novgorod, and the front line of Vishera began to enter the dispatch. We have discovered five different Russian troops on the positions on this line. I have an ominous premonition that the Russian army will definitely have some large-scale offensive measures in the near future. I hope the cluster command will carefully consider this. The 18th Army, Qusiral."

"Sure," Loeb put the telegram on the table, then smiled bitterly and said to himself. The correspondent standing beside him and the generals of the command center looked at each other. No one knew what the "Sure" he said meant.

What Loeb was thinking at this time was actually still a complex situation on this line. The Soviet commanders in the opposite camp obviously arranged everything. On the one hand, they ordered the four armies lurking in the German war zone to launch a suicide attack, but on the other hand, they sharpened their knives on the southern defensive front. You can regard their behavior as a threat, as a restraint of the German troops in the southern defense zone, and at the same time, it can also be regarded as a sign of the attack. In short, the current choice to fight without fighting, and the initiative to fight seems to be in the hands of the German army, but in fact, this is a dilemma that cannot give the best answer at all.

"Everyone," Loeb's eyes looked over and over again on the map on the table, and turned around and said, "I think it's time for us to make the final choice now. The situation is clear. The Russians threw us a double fuse bomb. No matter which one we draw, the final result will be the same, that is, to pieces. So now, the only way we can choose is to throw this bomb out. What do you think?"

Although Buller's words were very conceited, everyone present knew what he meant. Since this stage, everyone present knew that the battle was not good, and letting the fourth tank cluster retreat seemed to have become the only choice.

"Send a report to the base camp," Marshal Leb waved his hand with a heavy expression, and then said, "In view of the current crisis in the northern front, I would like to ask the base camp to give permission to withdraw the fourth tank cluster that rushed to the Sveri River so as to concentrate troops and consolidate our advantages in the existing war zone."

Loeb thought for a while and then added: "The situation is critical, I hope the base camp will resume soon."

Loeb's telegram was finally sent out. He didn't know what the reply from the base camp would be, and he didn't know which direction he would go in the future.

The Germans have always been very efficient in their work, especially in the Army Command.

Just one day later, the base camp responded to the telegram for Leb's request. Only the correspondent and Leb himself had seen this telegram, so others had no idea about the content of the newspaper. However, after receiving the telegram, Leb stood silent for a long time, and finally boarded a plane to Berlin with a lonely expression. Two hours after Leb left, General Quherel, the former commander of the 18th Group Army, walked into the cluster command center. According to the command of the base camp, General Quherel took over the position of Marshal Leb, and followed the base camp's combat plan, mobilized the few reserve teams of the northern cluster, and together with some of the troops drawn from the 16th and 18th Group Army of the South Line, launched an encirclement and suppression of the Soviet troops in the war zone.

From this moment on, the German army, who had outstanding achievements and was famous, completely withdrew from all future battles. It is reported that he no longer cared about any military issues in Germany and went to a place alone to live in seclusion.

When Chu Sinan received the news that the army on the Northern Line had changed its commander, he couldn't help but feel joy, and gave Lukoonki, who was still in the dark, a big hug. Chu Sinan did not care who the commander of the German army was. According to the history he was familiar with, Loeb, a German marshal who was good at defending and fighting but opposed the Kuomintang party, would sooner or later be abandoned by Hitler. The reason why he was so excited now was because he knew very well that the German base camp was relieved of Loeb at this time must have been because some strategies advocated by this cautious marshal angered Hitler. Under the current circumstances, the strategy advocated by Loeb was nothing more than shrinking its troops. If the German army really adopted this strategy, Chu Sinan would be greatly disappointed.

However, Chu Sinan seemed to be a little too early to be excited. Compared with the "jazz" marshal Loeb, Qusiral was obviously more realistic. Although he could not reverse the strategic decisions of the base camp, he had another bad idea to cooperate with frontal battlefield combat.

Since the Russians raised wolves in his backyard, he would kill these evil wolves and eliminate the cunning wolf head.

Chu Sinan...is in trouble.
