At 2 a.m. on January 2, 1942, the Soviet Bellowye Lake District Front Army launched a fierce attack on the German positions on the front line of Budogoshi in its war zone. Under the artillery firepower and armored forces, after six hours of fierce fighting, the troops that carried out breakthroughs in the east and west suburbs of Budogoshi successfully tore open the German defensive positions, and like two sharp knives, they penetrated into the defensive depth of the German Sixteenth Army.

However, these two sharp knives did not stop and advance after breaking through the German front line. On the contrary, from the moment they broke through the German front, a large number of Soviet follow-up troops rushed in from two gaps, crossing the east and west sides to Totanlink, more than 50 kilometers north.

The Soviet army's combat intentions have been clearly reflected, that is, to carry out roundabout encirclement on the German troops gathered in the Totanlink area, with a number of nearly four divisions, and finally achieve encirclement.

Now these four German divisions are stalemate with the Soviet Ninth Army that attacked the northern line of Totanlink. Under such fierce fighting conditions, it is unrealistic to evacuate the battlefield in a hasty manner. All they can do is to annihilate the ninth episode of the Soviet army in the encirclement as soon as possible, and then retreat before the formation of the Soviet army on the outside. Or they are to wait to be encircled and then eliminated.

However, judging from the current situation, according to the speed of the Soviet assault troops' advancement in the area south of Totanlink, it is obviously unlikely that the four German divisions would eat the ninth episode of the Soviet army in the encirclement before they arrived.

What should I do? How will General Qusiral deal with it? Have you given up?

This is obviously impossible. At least Chu Sinan would not be so naive. Among the many German marshals he once admired, Qusiral, who is good at attacking and has great achievements in frontline defense and combat, is definitely one of them. Now, when the battle is at this point, the German army is still passively responding, and has not taken even an active attack. This is abnormal. Chu Sinan speculated that Qusiral must be waiting, and he is waiting for the best opportunity to suddenly hurt people. For an excellent commander, creating, finding and effectively using opportunities is one of the command abilities that must be possessed.

Chu Sinan's guess is correct at all. Quheer is indeed conceiving a grand plan now, which is to take advantage of this opportunity to use the Soviet army's large-scale offensive to break the current battle stalemate in Leningrad and its remote suburbs, and even the entire northern war zone. In order to achieve this goal, he even decided to focus his future and temporarily ignore the commands of the base camp.

Through the analysis of the previous series of attacks by the enemy, Qusiral could easily detect what kind of ghost ideas the Soviet army was using. He also judged that at the beginning of this battle, the Soviet army's first breakthrough point would definitely choose to be on the Totanlink front-line defensive position set up by the 16th Army. The purpose was nothing more than to encircle and eat the German advisors who were fighting on the front line at that time.

A rough estimate is that if the Soviet army wants to tear a hole on this line and complete the encirclement of the Four German military divisions, it will inevitably mobilize an army of large enough. In this battle, the total number of troops it invested should be between five and six divisions, otherwise, the encirclement would not be constituted.

The strength of the five to six divisions is not a small number. This should be half of the Soviet defensive front of the Budogoshi, and the mobilization of half of the defensive forces will inevitably cause the Soviet defense force in the region. From this perspective, the attack launched by the Soviet army on the Budogoshi line is not only an opportunity for the Soviet army, but also an opportunity for the German troops who were attacked.

"The Russians want to make breakthroughs on this line, so let them break through!" Qusiral expressed his thoughts in the face of his staff, "We not only want them to break through, but also let them break through smoothly. But after they rushed in, I need my soldiers to launch a counter-assault against Budogoshi, and cut off all the Russians who rushed in."

It was precisely for this consideration that Quheeral mobilized the main artillery and armored forces of the troops in the Budogosi defense line of the 16th Army, ready to give a big gift to the attacking Soviet army.

The battle report on the 2nd confirmed the accuracy of his previous guesses to Qusiral. However, what was slightly beyond his expectations was that the Soviet army's offensive was so fierce, and the advancement of the front line was so fast. In just six hours, they actually broke through the five defense lines of the 27th Division in succession, and the vanguard troops had already arrived in the remote suburbs of Totanlink.

Although so far, due to the interruption of communication, the command headquarters has not received a report on the casualties sent by the 27th Division, Quherel can still guess that the situation of this division is probably not good. The 27th Division is an elite infantry division of the 16th Army. Whether in the battle to attack Poland or when it launched an attack on the Russians, the bravery of this division was remarkable. Quherel remembers that General Bushi, who was the commander of the 16th Army, valued this division very much. He once joked: "My 27th Division can only be placed on the offensive front, because the soldiers' necks will not turn, so they cannot find a way to retreat."

Now, this "unretreatable" army encountered the fierce attack of the Russians. Qusiral could imagine that the five lines of defense must have been bombarded by Russian cannons bit by bit, and were rolled out one by one by one. On the front line with a depth of less than 20 kilometers, it must have been sprinkled with blood donations from outstanding German soldiers at this time.

The blood debt must be repaid with blood. The soldiers under the 27th Division must not give their blood and life in vain. Those self-righteous and abominable Russians must pay the price for everything they did before.

"I order!" Qusiral issued the latest combat order expressionlessly, "The troops gathered on the east and west flanks of Budogoshi will immediately launch an attack according to the original combat plan. At the same time, I will gather and ship the air force to take off immediately and carry out air strikes on the rear wing of the Russian army that advanced to the outer area of ​​Totanlink to cooperate with the counter-assault operations on the battlefield on this line."

Qusiral's order turned into telegrams and quickly spread to the front line of Budogosch, which was in full swing at this time. With the spread of this telegram, the long-established German Eagle also poked out its sharp and fierce hook claws...
