Chu Sinan sat in a daze in his chair, and the telegram in his hand trembled with the shaking of his hand. This telegram that had just been brought from behind told Chu Sinan that it was enough to completely fall into the abyss. The two German troops of four divisions had already broken through the town of Tambovsk to the east of Budogoshi and the town of Pensak to the west last night, and compressed the Soviet front that originally defended this direction for nearly five kilometers southward.

These two towns are only less than thirty kilometers away from Budogosch. When the Germans entered the protruding parts of these two areas, it was very easy to rely on the narrow corridor less than five kilometers to encircle the entire Budogosch from both left and right directions. If this situation eventually forms, the result will be disastrous.

There is no doubt that the Germans' rapid offensive battles have always been very successful. Chu Sinan does not believe that under the current circumstances, his weak wings still have the ability to resist their offensive.

If they cannot resist, they will be surrounded and annihilated. If the left and right sides of Budogoshi are attacked by German troops, the Soviet troops trapped in the city will collapse and collapse in an instant, and their fragile nerves will no longer withstand the heavier pressure.

"Budogoshi must not fall into the hands of the Germans!" Even at this moment, Chu Sinan still did not give up his initial starting point of combat, "Even if everyone is fighting for a war in the end."

Putting the telegram in his hand on the table, Chu Sinan stood up and quickly walked to the wall behind him with the Budogoxi City Defense Map. Through this city defense map that could be modified at any time, anyone could easily grasp the deployment of the Soviet army in the Budogo City under the current conditions.

The reality is that after some time of combat, the Soviet army has successfully curbed the German offensive in the city within two blocks of the west city. Later, although the two infantry brigades of the 50th Division launched several attacks on the German army in the front, they both had achieved any results. The battle situation between the two sides had entered a stalemate stage.

After this period of battlefield consumption, the Soviet army suffered a lot of casualties. The total number of troops in the city that can be put into combat is less than one and a half divisions. As for the formerly surrounded by the German army in the remote suburbs of the north of the city, and even the No.9 Army and the 11th Army, the 11th Army, are now unable to break through the Budogogi defense line. The German army has gathered six divisions in this area. In this way, so far, the total force gathered by the Soviet and German sides in Budogogi and its remote suburbs has nearly 200,000.

Two hundred thousand people may not be anything in the overall environment of fighting in the Soviet-Germany region, but if you only take it out and put it in a local combat environment, it is already a very amazing number.

Now, Qusiral mobilized four divisions of troops to launch a flank attack on Budogosch. Chu Sinan calculated that there must be no reserve force in the hands of the German Northern Cluster Command. Qusiral's fighting goal is to take down Budogosch's defense line in one go, and then break into the Soviet inner line of defense. In another simple and straightforward sentence, it is the time for the final decisive battle on the Northern Line.

"Comrade Zaporozez," Chu Sinan stared at the map and asked casually, "What do you think we should go next?"

"I think?" Zaporozez was stunned. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would suddenly ask for his opinion. This was an unprecedented event. Although he had been with Chu Sinan for a short time, Zaporozez still realized one of the characteristics of the young general's character, that is, his soft outside but strong inside. When he decided, others seemed to be unable to change it at all. Especially in organizing battles and setting up battle situations, this guy had unimaginable confidence. This confidence showed that he was arbitrary and did not listen to the slightest objection.

"Yes, what do you think we should do?" Chu Sinan repeated, but his eyes still did not leave the map in front of him.

"Comrade Chu Sinan," Zaporozez thought for a while, then quickly walked to Chu Sinan, "I don't know what your idea of ​​the Northern Front Battle is, but for now, I think the first thing we have to do is to evacuate Budogoshi. The cruel reality tells us that we can no longer hold on to this city, and being able to persist until now is our maximum limit."

Zaporozerz reached out and pointed on the map, and continued, "Of course, if you allow the three divisions of the reserve team to be transferred up, we may be able to hold on here for a while. However, if the reserve team is used now, the passage of the Budogosin southern line will be very likely to be cut off by the Germans. At that time, we will not even have a way out for retreat. We can be trapped in Leningrad, and we can also be trapped in Kiev, but we have no conditions for trapping in Budogosin at all. Once the retreat is cut off, we can hold on for up to five to seven days, and destruction will be destined."

Chu Sinan nodded, and he agreed with Zaporozec's analysis. Compared with Leningrad and Kiev, the city of Budogoshi is too small and does not have the conditions to continue to maintain the battle under the encirclement of the enemy. What is particularly important is that during the previous stage of the battle, the citizens of the city have been basically evacuated. Once the siege begins, the Soviet troops trapped in it will not receive any support.

"Comrade Zaporozez, do you mean we should withdraw from here?" Chu Sinan said with a frown.

Zaporozez shrugged and said nothing.

Chu Sinan seemed to be expecting his answer. He continued to look on the map. After a while, he said, "How many artillery troops are there?"

"Oh?" Zaporozez thought for a while and said, "Our artillery strength is well preserved. The three artillery battalions that were originally on this line have not suffered any losses. Oh, Mokolov's rocket launcher company is also well preserved. However, in the previous artillery offensive, their ammunition consumption is very large, and now they can no longer support a threatening artillery battle."

"Where is Colonel Chaweijin's 12th Artillery Brigade?" Chu Sinan suddenly had an almost cruel thought in his heart, and he asked.

"The defense line in the Jihwen area has been moved," Zaporozez reached out and pointed on the map, and then said, "They have already started to reinforce the area yesterday morning."

"Where is the 42nd Artillery Brigade? Where are the others in Nokovigan?" Chu Sinan continued to ask.

"They are still in Novgorod," Zaporoz replied, "It may take a whole day to transfer them to reinforcements. Most importantly, a mere artillery brigade may not have much effect on reversing the entire battle."

"If it is close, we are not careful to call episode 34, 27, well, or the second episode of the Assault, their defense line is relatively close to us, and it is not an important direction of the German offensive. Temporarily drawing some troops from them should be enough to curb the German offensive." Zaporozerz added.

Looking at the map, Chu Sinan was thinking. After a while, he finally shook his head. At present, any of the troops in the entire southern defense zone have their own roles. Chu Sinan's vision is not just about a Budogosi defensive battle. He also has to consider the development of war in various directions while the Budogosi defensive battle.

For example, the 34th Army and the 27th Army are all major combat forces on the defense line from Budogoshi to Thihwen. If they draw troops there, it will be absolutely unfavorable for the future assault war in the Thihwen area. As for the second episode of Tu, they have a more important role. Chu Sinan will never draw their troops at this time.

What to do? Where can I find the artillery unit you need? Chu Sinan's eyes were patrolling the map, as if he wanted to find a hidden artillery unit from the red and blue area.

Suddenly, Chu Sinan's eyes fell on a place, and the appearance of this place name made his eyes lit up.

"Comrade Zaporoz," he turned around suddenly, and Chu Sinan said, "Do you still remember the telegram sent by Comrade Konev yesterday? Did two artillery brigades in the Northwest Front Army still wait for orders in the area of ​​Volochok?"

"Oh, it's not bad, I remember that's how it should be." Zaporoz said nodded by him.

"That's good. Let's report to Comrade Konev immediately and ask him to temporarily second these two artillery brigades." Chu Sinan looked very excited, and his face turned a little red.

"But these two artillery brigades are still on Volochok, and it takes more than 270 kilometers to come from there," Zaporozez blinked and hesitated. "It would take other things to deduct them from. If they were to rush through the way, it would be impossible to reach them without two or three days. And in these two or three days, the Germans probably had already completed the encirclement of Budogosch and completely broke into the city. In that case, what's the use of transferring two artillery brigades? Could it be..."

Zaporozez said this and seemed to have thought of something. He widened his eyes and looked straight at Chu Sinan. After a while, he was silent before saying, "Comrade Chu Sinan, do you want to..."

"Yes, that's what I think." Chu Sinan reached out and patted Zaporozez's arm, and then said, "At present, this is the last way for us to maintain the balance of power on this front."

"Then we will suffer..." Zaporozac was still hesitating, worried that a practice would become a major stain in his military career.
