Chapter 357: lie

??Chapter 357 Lie

?? "General, are we going to retreat?" the tank driver asked Major General von Funke.

?? It is normal for a tank driver to ask this question.

First of all, if the report of Colonel Jonas is true, the enemy has an individual weapon that can destroy the German tanks, then they should not engage in close combat with the Russians, because no matter how many tanks rush up, there will be no return .

??Secondly, von Funke is a major general and the commander of the 7th Armored Division. At this time, of course, he must retreat first in consideration of the overall situation.

??Von Funk thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, we should rush up!"

?? "General..."

?? "Obey orders!" Feng Funke interrupted his subordinates in an unquestionable tone: "Use the fastest speed!"

?? "Yes, General!" The driver had no choice but to step on the accelerator.

?? "Leohard!" Major General von Funke said to the electromechanical operator: "Get to the Army Command, immediately!"

"yes!"

??The headquarters was quickly connected, and it was Lieutenant General Kubil who answered the phone.

?? "Is the battle going well, major general?" Kubil asked in a relaxed tone.

?? "General!" Von Funke replied: "We are going to wipe out the whole army. The Russians have a new equipment, new equipment that we have not seen before!"

?? "What? Annihilation of the entire army?" Kubiler couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "What's going on? Where are you, I'll send fighter planes to support immediately!"

?? "It's too late, General!" Von Funk replied: "Time is running out, the important thing is not to save us, but the enemy's new equipment..."

?? "What new equipment!"

?? "I don't know!" Von Funke replied: "Listening to intelligence is a kind of rocket, and the individual equipment carried on the shoulders can easily destroy our tanks!"

?? "Are you sure? An individual equipment that can destroy our tanks?"

?? "I'm on my way now, General!"

??Kubile was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what von Funke was going to do.

?? "No, Major General!" Kubil said, "You don't need to do this, we can use other methods..."

"No, General!" Von Funk said, "I think it's the best way, you know what that means. I mean, if the enemy has such a piece of equipment, then the rest of our armored units will have to." Be careful!"

?? "Yes, I know! But..."

"I saw it!" At this time, the voice of Von Funk came from the other side of the microphone: "Colonel Jonas is right, it is indeed an individual equipment, about two meters long, like a gun barrel , they carried it on their shoulders and reloaded it from the rear ... it fired at me, it was a rocket, and when it fired it produced a lot of smoke and a trail, it missed at 50 meters, that is, its accuracy was not high!

?? I see another one, they have a lot of these! Yes, two people must cooperate..."

?? Then there was a "boom", and the walkie-talkie stopped making any sound.

??Lieutenant General Kubil held the microphone for a while, and then said to the adjutant: "Report to the head of state immediately, and found the enemy's new equipment. It caused us heavy losses!"

The German army did suffer heavy losses in this battle. There were 73 tanks in an armored division that was not fully formed, and only 8 of them were able to drive back. Most of them were the "No. 4" tanks with wider tracks and faster speed, and the rest were all on the battlefield. destroyed in the chaos.

?? Hitler, who was commanding the battle in "Wolf's Lair", raised his head in surprise when he heard the news.

??He knows what it means, if there is such a device, a device that infantry can easily destroy tanks, then... the advantage of tanks in front of infantry will be gone.

?? To put it more seriously, the "blitzkrieg" that the German army relied on to support the victory of the entire war may not be able to work, because the "blitzkrieg" mainly uses the speed, defense and firepower of tanks to break through quickly.

?? After thinking for a while, Hitler said: "No, this is a lie they wove in the hope that I would agree to retreat. There is no such equipment at all!"

?? "His Excellency the Führer!" The staff officer added: "However, Lieutenant General Kubiler reported that Major General von Funke died in order to determine whether this equipment exists!"

Hitler walked back and forth in front of the desk a few times, then shook his head and smiled: "General von Funk's sacrifice may be true, but it was just a normal sacrifice in battle. They used the sacrifice of a general to make this lie sound More real!"

??The staff officer suddenly realized.

?? "Then..." the staff officer said, "How do we answer Lieutenant General Kubil?"

??Hitler hesitated.

??Punish Lieutenant General Kubil? Remove him like everyone else?

No! Hitler couldn't do that in the middle of the Great War.

?? After thinking for a while, Hitler said: "Tell General Kubiler that we have received information from him, and ask him not to spread this matter, so as not to affect the morale of the army!"

?? "Yes, Your Excellency the Führer!"

Lieutenant General Kubiler had no doubts when he received this answer, because the current situation seems to be exactly as Hitler said... At this time, the Russian army is counterattacking with all its strength, and the German soldiers are panicked. If they are told that the Russian army has a model, they will never Unseen anti-tank individual equipment, I am afraid that the entire German defense line will collapse.

??However, concealing it is not the answer. Could it be that other troops have to suffer another loss similar to the 7th Armored Division? !

??The helpless Lieutenant General Kubil could only order his armored troops not to engage in close combat with the enemy.

?? On the other hand, the battle between the 7th Armored Division and the 1st Guards Tank Brigade has just ended.

There was a burst of cheers on the battlefield, the wreckage of German tanks was everywhere, and some were even burning and exploding, but this still couldn't stop the soldiers from being excited. They waved their fists and congratulated each other with their comrades, especially those who Soldiers who destroyed tanks... at this time, it is a great achievement to have a record of destroying enemy tanks in the Soviet army, especially infantry.

??The tank soldiers were a little lost at this time.

??Fedosiev complained next to Shulka: "Captain, I failed to kill a single tank this time. This kind of tank is only used to be beaten or to show off!"

?? "It doesn't matter, Comrade Fedosyev!" The Cossack interjected excitedly: "There is us! As long as there is it..."

?? As he spoke, the Cossack patted the bazooka on his shoulders, and then said, "We won't have to see the tanks anymore and hide everywhere!"

??Fedosyev remained silent.

?? Cossacks, which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted? Fedosiev said these words because the infantry did all the work of the tank soldiers, and even took the credit for the tank soldiers.

?? "Comrade Captain!" Fedosiev said to Shulka: "If we can change to a tank, I think we will have a greater advantage!"

?? "It's not for me to decide!" Shulka replied: "However, I believe they will!"
