Chapter 2617 Jokes
"Russia is too big!" Just when Schweppenburg expressed his emotion, it was no coincidence that the commander of the SS Imperial Division who was ordered by Guderian to go to the Eastern Front and wanted to attack the missile troops of the Xuebing Army Hurlbert was facing a wide lake and expressed the same emotion.For this war of aggression against Russia, Germany has actually been preparing for a long time, but as it entered the territory of Soviet Russia deeper and deeper, the front-line leaders of the Third Reich like Herbert discovered that they knew so much about Soviet Russia. Not enough.For example, now, he couldn't find the big lake in front of the troops on the map at all.What made him extremely dissatisfied was that the guide assigned to him by the Second Panzer Army didn't even know that there was a big lake here.

Of course, Herbert did not believe that this great lake appeared out of thin air, so there was only one reasonable explanation left. Those people from the Military Intelligence Department of the Third Reich had never been here when they were collecting information.

Based on his knowledge of his country's rocket force, Herbert firmly believed that the Chinese missile force must be hidden behind the main force, perhaps in a forest or in a valley.And they are at least [-] kilometers away from the front line, because only in this way can they not be affected by the front-line war and at the same time provide a certain amount of support to the front line.

Satisfied, he went on the road, thinking that there was a sweet cake waiting for him in front of him, but he didn't see the cake, and went into a maze first.For the Imperial Division, isn't Chernushka, which is densely covered with rivers, lakes and primeval forests, a maze?As a fully mechanized force, if the road is smooth, they can even travel 01 kilometers in one day, but now, two and a half days have passed, how much have they moved forward?Maybe a hundred kilometers, or even just fifty kilometers.At this speed, Herbert couldn't even imagine that the decisive battle between Osa and Sabi might be over before they discovered the Chinese missile force.Having such thoughts in his heart made Herbert feel extremely embarrassed, and by the way, he also had a certain degree of dissatisfaction with Guderian.The contradiction between the Wehrmacht and the SS has a long history, which stems from the usual pride of German professional soldiers, who look down on other armies other than the regular army.And because the imperial divisions are always the first to be equipped with the latest weapons and equipment, this naturally makes them even more hated.Then, there seems to be a reasonable explanation for Guderian to use the topic to exile them far away when the war is approaching.Otherwise, why would they send a local guide like them.Oh, that can't be called a local guide, because he doesn't know much about Chernushka any more than they do. telegram.For the same reason, when he received a telegram from Guderian inquiring about the terrain on the Eastern Front, he did not guess at Guderian's intentions, and replied with resentment, "The journey is smooth."

Of course, Guderian would not have thought that Herbert still had the courage to joke about military affairs at this time. He believed it to be true, so the Second Panzer Army embarked on a "road of no return".

The Second Armored Army suddenly turned eastward, which Jiang Tiezhang did not expect, because the disadvantage in terms of strength was too obvious, he worried that this might be Guderian's plan to play hard to get, and in addition, it would be beneficial for the Germans to do so. They are better at completing the task, so he did not send out a large army to accompany him, except to send scouts to hang far behind the Germans to prevent fraud.

A day later, Guderian, who entered the territory of Chernushka, saw the real situation of the road. The first reaction of the German old man almost passed out out of breath.Walking all the way from Yanaur, there is no road after fifty kilometers.This is not a big deal, but there will be a river every 5000 meters, and even some places are completely surrounded by rivers. Can this be regarded as a smooth road?All the way to the lake is almost the same.As a matter of course, Guderian questioned Herbert and asked him why he "lied about military information."

At this time, Herbert realized that Guderian was not joking with himself for the main force of the group army to go to the east, and he also realized the seriousness of the problem.However, as a powerful general in the SS, he didn't know how to write humbly admitting his mistakes, so in his call back to Guderian, his tone was uncharacteristically tough, saying that he did not believe that the main force would really go to the Eastern Front. As far as the real situation of the division is concerned, although there are many rivers in Chernushka, but because of the strength of the engineering troops, he thinks that it will not affect the normal march of the troops.

Guderian questioned Herbert and didn't actually expect him to admit his mistakes, but Herbert paid attention to pretending to be stupid to avoid responsibility, even if it was for the next battle, he had to take it seriously.

"It's a joke. As a senior general from a regular military academy, does it mean that Herbert doesn't know the difference between marching with 1 people and marching with 10 at the same time? The engineering troops are strong? Then why hasn't he yet? Find the Chinese missile unit. No, he didn't even find the enemy at all, but would there be no enemy troops in Chernushka? The Chinese army may not have them, but the Russian Red Army ... "

"Herbert is really making a big joke," Schweppenburg continued, but there was no intention of blaming Herbert in his tone.If Guderian is now filled with righteous indignation, then he is now in a waning mood.It's no wonder that he thought it was a good move that could change the situation, but now it seems to be a bad move. As a high-ranking general with a high reputation, he didn't become angry from embarrassment, which is enough to prove his inner strength.Taking a deep breath to adjust his emotions, he asked, "Your Excellency, what should we do next?"

"We have come to this point, can we still turn around—" Guderian said, feeling quite unwilling in his heart, "If we really look back, I don't know what the Chinese will think of us." After a pause, he said again : "Continuing on the Eastern Front, although it may take a little longer, will definitely receive unexpected results. Looking at the terrain, even if the Chinese and Soviet Russians have left behind troops, there will not be too many."

Schweppenburg stopped talking. The Germans have strong self-esteem, and they are actually not reconciled, but even if it is for the honor of the soldiers, he feels that the only way to go now is to grit his teeth and go on.Moreover, as Guderian said, Chernushka's terrain is so complicated that it may really be forgotten by the Chinese and Soviet Russians.
