The arrival of the famous general Guderian and his series of measures in the battlefield layout soon made Chu Sinan realize something was wrong. As a general who relatively focused on offense, Guderian's battlefield thinking was still very different from Qusiral, and these differences were also very easy to be noticed by the opponent's commanders in the advancement of the battle.

Starting from the days before February, the German troops, which had been passively defending, suddenly launched a counter-assault battle against the Soviet offensive on the front line of Kirich and Liu Ban. These two assault battles were very beautiful, especially the assault battle in the direction of Kirich. Even Chu Sinan had no choice but to admit that even if he personally commanded the battle on that line at that time, he had to suffer a defeat.

At that time, in the direction of Kirich, the forces of the four Soviet regiments had been successfully broken through the front line of the German army, and the southern gate of the Kirch urban defense line was opened. At that time, given the fierce Soviet offensive, the German army on this line had almost given up resistance, and the Soviet army's follow-up troops were already preparing for urban street fighting in advance.

But at this moment, a German motorized infantry unit cooperated with the armored troops suddenly launched an assault from the suburbs of Kirishsi without any warning, and in a very short time, it broke through the Soviet defense line in that direction and advanced to the periphery of the Soviet artillery position. The German army's fighting style, which was similar to the death, scared the command center in the direction of Kirish from command to staff. In order to avoid losses, they urgently allocated reserve troops to rush to this line of assistance, and at the same time ordered the threatened artillery troops to operate behind the position. In this way, the troops responsible for launching the offensive in the front had to turn to the defensive situation without obtaining the support of the artillery, thus giving the German troops a chance to reorganize the defense line.

What is particularly embarrassing is that this armored force suddenly inserted into the Soviet army's inside seemed to have predicted the Soviet army's emergency countermeasures in advance. When they were about to arrive at the artillery position, they turned without warning and concentrated their efforts to launch an assault to the north, and finally escaped successfully before the Soviet army's encirclement was formed.

A German army's group armored unit crashed into its defense line with a straight head. After stirring up a huge wave, it swayed away. This was a shame for the Soviet front-line command on the Kirish line.

At first, everyone thought that if Chu Sinan received this news, he would definitely be furious about it, and even commanded the battle landslide on this line, no one would be able to take it. However, the facts showed that they were all wrong. When their war situation was sent to Chu Sinan, the always-severe commander was not angry. He just ordered people to get the information sent by Liu Ban not long ago, and then compared the situation of the two battle reports, he carefully looked at it for a long time. He thought for a long time. In the end, when he came to his senses, except for his serious and solemn expression, he seemed to be nothing different.

These two battle situation reports in detail record the German attacks in the same nature in the direction of Liuban and Kirich. Their combat methods are surprisingly similar: both of them are small armored troops, and unexpectedly break into the Soviet outer defense line. Then, before the opponent has time to react and deploy, they suddenly change the direction of the attack, thus causing their opponents to be restrained everywhere, and thus creating a powerful and nowhere to make sense.

Don’t underestimate this inconspicuous assault operation. It fully demonstrates the rich experience of the enemy combat commander in seizing the opportunity and advancing on the battlefield. At the same time, it also demonstrates his courageous and familiar nature of advancing and retreating. In addition, this commander is absolutely experienced in using armored troops to cooperate in combat. Even if he is to be precise, he should be given a word of praise.

According to the combat methods of the German commanders of World War II whom he had, Chu Sinan could determine that these two battles were definitely not commanded by Qusirel. This did not conform to Qusirel's temperament, nor did it conform to his military use. Since this person was not Qusirel, who would it be? Rommel? This is unlikely. This cunning desert fox was commanding the German army in North Africa at this time. Some time ago, Chu Sinan also received news that this cunning fox was attacking the British fortress Manstein. This is obviously even more impossible. Chu Sinan almost did not.

It was a day when a war report from the Supreme Command, which showed that Manstein was commanding his Romanian legion to defend against the Soviet North Caucasian Front's winter offensive against Rostov. Unless he had the clone skills, there was no possibility of appearing on the front line of Leningrad. It was not Rommel or Manstein, so who could command such an outstanding person among the German generals? There was no doubt that this person's name was about to come out. He was the originator of the "blitzkrieg", the father of the German armored forces. ￣￣ Guderian.

"Guderian is here." Chu Sinan's mood was very complicated at this time, a little nervous and a little happy. Needless to say, the uneasy is why Chu Sinan will never be so proud that he would not take Guderian seriously. As for joy, it was because he understood that he had a new challenge and was able to fight against the famous World War II generals he admired. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In a fight with someone like Guderian, perhaps for Chu Sinan, victory or defeat was no longer a critical issue. He had to enjoy this excitement and enjoy this feeling that he could only experience in his dreams.

Of course, he would not give up his pursuit of victory. If he could defeat the famous generals who were praised by many "virtuous" people in later generations, even if he didn't talk about anything, Chu Sinan would feel that his adventure was not in vain.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." Chu Sinan first realized that if he wants to defeat Guderian in this battle, he must first figure out what the famous general is going to do and what his primary counterattack plan should be.

The general direction should not be considered too much. Since the German base camp was used at this time, his original purpose was nothing more than to rescue the fourth German tank cluster that was besieged by many German troops, and at the same time, to stabilize the northern front of the German army. Since there will be no deviation in the general direction, what about the minor aspects? Where will Guderian start first? Chu Sinan has no way to know. He felt that it should be time to watch it.

Just when Chu Sinan was full of doubts, his opponent Guderian was living in Volhof, who was close to him.

Since he rushed to the northern front day and night and handed over the troops with Qusiral, who had returned sadly, Guderian immediately issued several consecutive orders. Among these orders, the more important ones were to launch two small-scale battles in Liuban and Kirishi's direction, but they had to effectively counter-assault operations. The purpose of these two battles was not to directly obtain anything. Guderian just wanted to use them to give the currently arrogant Soviet troops a warning and to slapped their offensive spirit.

These two small-scale battles were carried out one after another under his careful arrangement. With his previous command experience, he could easily see through the Soviet army's unilateral emphasis on attack on the two sides and ignored the disadvantages of flanking defense. It was this point that made him feel extremely angry while taking advantage of the Soviet army's mistake. If he had enough counterattack forces in his hands, he would be sure to take advantage of this mistake of the Soviet army and directly fight a comprehensive counterattack, or even turn defeat into victory in one fell swoop. However, on the battlefield, there is never any if, so, in this situation, Guderian is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

In addition to fighting two small-scale counter-assault operations, Guderian ordered the North Soviet army to intercept the Fourth Tank Cluster east of the Volkhov River and give up the attack on the area west of the Volkhov Bridge. At the same time, he instead launched an offensive against the four Soviet armies that were urgently approaching the rear, trying to break through the encirclement line they had just built.

In order to provide support to the fourth tank cluster, Guderian took the lead in his previous plan and moved the two air fleets under the cluster from the rear to the frontier of Volkhov, thus allowing the fourth tank cluster, currently trapped east of the Volkhov River, to obtain support from the Air Force in the shortest time.

From the latter two deployments, it can be seen that Guderian was taking risks, and it was a big adventure. Especially the order to order the Fourth Tank Cluster to turn around and look east, it made many staff officers at the Cluster Command stunned. Everyone knew the current situation of the battle in the Svery River. The Finns could no longer withstand it. At this time, they ordered the Fourth Tank Cluster to advance east along the old road. What is the difference between this and a moth to a flame?

However, Guderian did not explain his intention to fight to anyone. He just issued an order unilaterally and then stopped talking. In fact, he knew that he was taking risks, but in addition to this strategy, he could not think of any more effective way to rescue the entire fourth tank cluster in the shortest time under the current dilemma.

Adventure, Guderian is not afraid of failure. As he himself said: "Only those who can make a quick decision under any conditions can take victory. Our descendants would rather forgive wrong actions than inaction."
