Steel Soviet Union

Chapter 2233 Unsolvable situation

"General! The Russian firepower is too fierce, we can't hold on any longer! The troops are in full retreat, the casualties are too great!"

"The armored forces have suffered serious losses, and many companies have lost contact! We are trying to restore field communications, but it is too difficult. There are enemies everywhere, Russians are rushing towards us everywhere, and the troops cannot even maintain the front. Google search read"

"Report! Lieutenant Colonel Kreiser came to report that nearly half of his infantry has been lost. He has already thrown his guard platoon into the battle and requested immediate reinforcements."

Communications staff, messengers, and adjutants

Almost everyone around him brought bad news one after another. Lieutenant General Dritz, who said nothing, sat on a big stone on the dirt road with a Mauser 98K rifle used as a walking stick. With one free hand, he clenched his fist and put his head on his forehead, his head bowed. The whole posture looked like a replica of the "Thinker" in the German battlefield by a famous European sculptor.

At this point, Lieutenant General Dritz has no energy to get angry and curse. The group of losers under his command have shouted and complained many times, but what's the use? The situation will get worse just as it should, and shouting is useless. It will only make you more exhausted and powerless.

"How many available troops do we have? Counting the reserves that have not yet been put into combat.

""

The people around me were a little dumbfounded. They looked at me and me with big eyes and small eyes. They didn’t know whether to tell the truth or tell a better lie. They couldn’t make up their minds. People dared to speak, but in the end the somewhat responsible chief of staff took the initiative to stand up.

"Judging from the summary of battle reports received so far, there are approximately more than 18,000 people capable of fighting."

"But I must remind you that this number is still decreasing at an extremely fast speed, with new casualties every minute. It may be that a company is lost every ten minutes, or it may be that a battalion is lost every ten minutes. Our battlefield Communications were so fragmented that the front-line troops fighting the Russians could not even provide effective feedback on real-time battle conditions and had to rely on messengers to deliver messages, let alone update casualties in real time."

When the war reached this point, the German army found that its front-line troops' field communications had been cut into pieces by the Russians like minced meat.

The regiment couldn't contact the battalion, the battalion couldn't find the company, the company didn't know how many people were left in the platoon, and even the platoon leader didn't know whether a certain squad under his command had been completely wiped out by the Russians, and whether there were any left alive.

The battlefield has been in chaos, the kind of chaos caused by the German army's own unilateral actions.

If you say that there is still hope of breaking out and fighting out, you are lying to yourself. Even if you invest all the reserves, the best result is just to defeat the Russians' aggressive "attack against attack" style attack. The Russian tanks continued to rush in like a bull in a glass shop.

What? Do you want to take advantage of the trend and then attack again?

Go to sleep, my child. There is indeed everything in the dream. It is possible for you to hit Moscow in one go and capture Stalin alive.

Lieutenant General Dritz, who was holding the cane and Mauser rifle, had a gloomy face. Although he said nothing, he still felt pain in his leg.

The sprain on his right leg was caused by a car accident due to the slippery road in the snow and the rush to break through. The entire open-top bucket truck overturned, rolled and fell off the dirt road.

The valet driver suffered a broken cervical vertebra and vomited on the spot. Lieutenant General Dritz had better luck and was thrown away the moment the car skidded off the road. The final result was that the barrel truck that overturned hit his calf, causing muscle contusion and a fractured calf bone. There were no serious injuries elsewhere, and of course there were no missing parts throughout his body.

He was lucky enough to save his life, but Lieutenant General Dritz did not feel that the goddess of luck was looking after him, nor did he say that "if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later", because what happened after that was even more unbearable to look at. The news, that comes one after another, is extremely annoying, just like now.

The main force breaking out of the encirclement was fighting fiercely with the Russians and being pinned and rubbed in the snow. It was only a matter of time before the main Russian army, which was pressing forward step by step on the frontal battlefield, came over. With powerful enemies in front of him and behind him, Lieutenant General Dritz felt that he was about to suffocate. The more he thought about it, the more his head felt like it was about to burst. He had no clue or solution at all, and it seemed like a dead end with no solution.

The people around him were still stunned. Lieutenant General Dritz, who was in an extremely bad mood, didn't know if he really cared about these people under his command, but he did speak quietly again after waiting for a while.

"That damn Austrian corporal ruined the victory and ruined all of us!"

"We could have retreated earlier. Leaving this damn place earlier might not have resulted in the current outcome. The Russians couldn't catch up with us! Just because of his stupid head and random command, we wasted a whole night! Tens of thousands of German troops The soldier's life became his stupid funeral, why didn't the bomb kill him! That damn Austrian corporal!"

""

No one stood up and yelled, "You betrayed the Führer" and then made some wise operations to show how loyal they were.

The people who can stand next to Lieutenant General Dritz now are his confidants and right-hand men who have followed him in all the wars in the north and south.

Of course, the reason why he didn't jump out and refute Lieutenant General Dritz was not just because of this.

What's more, because these people present have access to these people at the core command level of the Armored Corps, they really know what happened in the past 24 hours from yesterday to now. I also know what caused the avoidable problem to become as bad as it is now.

If you didn't say it before, it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't know about it or don't agree with it. It just needs someone with a high enough status to take action and a person with weight to speak. Some things should be said by subordinates, especially when From the perspective of the leader, that is ultimately inappropriate. No matter how smart the Germans are, they don't have such a high level of emotional intelligence.

Now Lieutenant General Dritz has pierced this layer of window paper and made it clear what everyone wants to say.

However, there was no situation where everyone agreed with what you said and what I said, and no one even had any mood swings. As usual, everyone should be sullen and silent.

There is no other reason. What's the use of having any emotional fluctuations at this time? It cannot change the objective reality and what is happening.

There are all people present who have access to the core command level. Who can fail to have some city and vision? It is normal not to do useless things after seeing the current situation clearly. This also shows that Lieutenant General Dritz and his group have at least not lost their basic ability to judge calmly and think.

As for what to do next, Lieutenant General Dritz, who felt that he was on the verge of crumbling, calmed down and already had the answer in his heart.
