Chapter 490: Victory in Chaos

Seeing Lelyushenko and Vorobev's expressions of seeing the devil Satan, Lieutenant Goman smiled proudly.

After laughing, Lieutenant Goman restrained his smile and said solemnly: "I will introduce myself again. I am Lieutenant Jackman of the German Navy. You are now captured by me, so don't resist unnecessary."

Hearing Lieutenant Jackman's self-introduction, Leliushenko's haggard face instantly turned red and then turned purple.

"You actually wear our military uniforms, pretend to be our soldiers, and use this despicable warfare... Do you still have a sense of honor as a soldier? Fighting openly and defeating each other is what a soldier should do..." Leliushenko said angrily.

"Sorry, Comrade Commander, as a loser, you are not qualified to accuse us winners." Lieutenant Jackman said to Jackman, waving the submachine gun in his hand.

"I won't go anywhere, you'd better kill me now." Lelyushenko shouted hysterically.

The reply to him was the butt stock in Lieutenant Jackman's hand.

Lieutenant Jackman turned the stock and smashed Leliushenko, who was crazy because of his anger and anger, to the ground, and then ordered his two subordinates to drag Leliushenko into the wine cellar.

Under the coercion of Lieutenant Jackman and his subordinates, the members of the Twenty-One Mechanized Army, who had just left the wine cellar, had to return to the basement in frustration.

Outside the ruins of the villa, the guards of the 21st mechanized army headquarters could only watch Leliushenko and his group were taken into the wine cellar, but they did not dare to make any attacks.

Walking into the basement, Lieutenant Jackman's subordinates quickly searched all the captured people, searching them for all the weapons and valuable personal belongings, especially maps and password books.

The correspondents in the commando sat next to the captured radio station. They skillfully controlled the radio station to change channels, and then emitted radio waves.

Lieutenant Jackman was not idle either when the communications soldiers were busy.

Taking Lelyushenko to a compartment alone, Lieutenant Jackman said: "Mr. Major General, the battle has been underway. You should know that if the 21st mechanized army continues to fight, there will be only one result. General Heinz von Rosen asked me to tell you. For the sake of the young Russians and to prevent Russian mothers from receiving fewer death notices, you would better issue an order to stop your subordinates from fighting."

Leliushenko endured the severe pain from his right cheek. Lieutenant Jackman smashed almost all the teeth on the right side of his mouth with a spoil, and the swollen mouth was filled with a salty smell of blood.

"You dream that even if you win a victory with despicable means, you will not be able to reverse your disadvantages. Our people are attacking Pustoshka City, and that General Rosen will soon be sent to hell with the forty-six armored troops. You'd better kill me as soon as possible, and I'll wait to meet your General Rosen in front of the gates of hell."

Enduring the severe pain in his mouth, Lelyushenko strictly rejected Lieutenant Jackman's request.

"Since the Major General is unwilling to cooperate, I have to find someone who is willing to cooperate. There are so many people in your military headquarters, there will always be a few clear-headed people who will recognize the situation." Lieutenant Jackman said.

Separating all the prisoners, Lieutenant Jackman personally "talks" with them, and soon found four clear-headed collaborators among the prisoners.

Of the four collaborators, the only radio operator was taken to the radio.

Lieutenant Jackman casually wrote a telegram in Russian and handed it to the radio operator.

"Send this to the frontline troops as usual, don't do anything."

The radio operator received the telegram and saw that it read: "The Stalin defense line was attacked by the German absolute superior force of the German army and may be broken through at any time. The 42nd tank division must leave contact with the German army in Pustoshka within an hour, and rush to Xieberi City before 3 pm to jointly defend the Stalin defense line. The 185 motorized division must arrive at the southern area of ​​Xieberi before 4 pm to cooperate with friendly forces to defend the Stalin defense line."

Before the radio operator could start sending the newspaper, Lieutenant Jackman had a sudden inspiration and picked up his pen and wrote another telegram to the radio operator.

The content of the second telegram was: "A small group of German troops infiltrated the back of the Stalin defense line, destroying our communication lines, and spreading false information through the telephone network. Since the time of receiving the telegram, all actions of the divisions under our army will be subject to the radio orders of the military headquarters. All the orders issued by non-military headquarters are false orders distributed by the enemy and shall not be implemented."

Under the threat of the gun and under the supervision of the commando correspondent, the Russian radio operator spread the two telegrams on the table and launched the telegram with a radio drip.

In the basement where Lieutenant Jackman was located, with one telegram after another, immediately in the eastern part of the city, twenty kilometers away, a huge wave caused on the western front of Pustoshka.

At 4:30 am the day before, the 21st Mechanized Army, together with the 22nd Army and the 10th Mechanized Army, launched the last general attack on Pustoshka City as promised.

However, not long after the general attack was launched, the offensive of the 21st Mechanized Army could not continue. The reason was very simple. The Stalin defense line in the west was in a hurry. Under the order of the Northwest Front Command, Leliushenko had to draw troops to support the Stalin defense line.

After the troops supporting the Stalin defense line left, the remaining combat power of the 21st Mechanized Army was extremely weak and could only launch insignificant fortifications on the German army in Pustoshka City, and could not even restrain them.

The second order followed almost broke the backbone of the Twenty-one Mechanized Army.

The loss of the No. 9 Arsenal almost drained the few remaining combat power of the Twenty-One Mechanized Army.

In the previous battles, the supplies carried by the 21st Mechanized Army themselves had been consumed, and they all rely on the ammunition and materials collected from the No. 9 Arsenal to maintain their combat effectiveness.

In order to ensure the smoothness of the logistics artery, Leyliushenko had to draw troops from the front line again to regain the No. 9 Arsenal.

The second time the troops were drawn from the front line, causing the 21st mechanized army to completely lose its offensive ability.

The 21 Mechanized Army, which lacks ammunition and has shortage of troops, has completely become a spectator on the battlefield.

Telegram from Lieutenant Jackman. The troops on the front line of the 21st Mechanized Army, especially the 42nd Tank Division and 185th Motorized Division that faced the 46th Armored Army. They completely got rid of the embarrassment of being a spectator.

Shortly after receiving the order, the staff in the division headquarters of the two divisions carefully formulated a retreat plan.

Which unit evacuates first, which unit cuts off the rear, and resists the possible pursuit of the German army.

After the order was passed to the frontline troops, all troops began to pack up and prepare to retreat.

The troops of the 10th German Armored Division, who had maintained close contact with the 21st Mechanized Army, were almost immediately aware of the commotion on the Soviet positions.

The unusual actions of the Soviet army were immediately reported to the Forty-Six Armored Army Headquarters. General Sher, who was not aware of the inside story, was also confused.

Just as General Sher and his subordinates speculated whether there was a conspiracy hidden behind the Soviet army's mobilization, an uninvited guest appeared in front of him, the long-lost His Excellency the Polish Governor.

What did he do? The sudden appearance of "Chen Dao" made General Sher's heart full of questions.

Last time, I asked the Governor's own military headquarters to ask him in person his opinion on the next battle. The Governor claimed that he would go back and turn the inspiration into a combat plan, and then discuss it with him, but he would never return.

In the early morning of the next day, the Soviet army launched another large-scale attack on Pustoshka City. He was busy dealing with the Soviet offensive and almost forgot about the existence of that honor. Now his sudden appearance, is there any instructions?

"Chen Dao" walked to Admiral Sher and asked with his hands behind his back: "Dear Admiral, I came here to ask you, is there any abnormal movements on the positions of the Russian 21st Mechanized Army in the west of Pustoshka?

"Based on our aerial reconnaissance and the observations of the 10th Armored Division's reconnaissance battalion, the enemy seemed to be showing signs of retreating," said Admiral Schell.

"Chen Dao" said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'm relieved. I'm here to give you two gifts."

"What gift?" General Sher asked.

Not only General Sher, but also the surrounding staff members were full of curiosity.

The great governor of the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely not be an ordinary gift to come to the military headquarters to give gifts at such a critical moment.

"The first gift I give you is good news. A unit under my command successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior and captured the headquarters of the 21st Mechanized Army in the city of Idrica. The commander of the 21st Mechanized Army, and Leliushenko, also became our captive. Not only that, they also issued some interesting orders to the front-line troops in the name of Leliushenko. I think the enemy's retreat must be related to those orders."

The tone of "Chen Dao" was very calm, as if it was talking about an insignificant thing, but the expressions of General Sher and his subordinates were very wonderful.

Surprise, joy, suspicion, dullness... All kinds of expressions appeared on the faces of General Sher and others. "Chen Dao" saw the expressions of everyone, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

General Sher was the first to reply from the shock and asked: "This is true. The headquarters of the 21st Mechanized Army was killed by us? How did you do it?"

"Chen Dao" said with a reserved look: "To be precise, it was captured alive, not killed. That night, after I broke up with the General, I thought about it and came up with a combat plan to behead the 21st mechanized army headquarters. However, this plan has a great risk and the success rate is not very high. Out of caution, I did not disclose to the General, and I would not tell you until the commando operation was successful. Please understand my approach. As for the General, I want to know how I did it, and I will explain it to you in detail after the battle."

The reserve of "Chen Dao" has become unfathomable in the eyes of General Sher and the staff around him.

In less than two days, the Governor in front of him actually made such a big move silently, which was completely beyond their perception.

If it is to send a small team to kill the enemy's military headquarters by raid, the staff members can still accept it.

But the Governor General used some means to capture an enemy army headquarters.

This kind of military use method is probably hard to match even if Napoleon is resurrected.

"Chen Dao" enjoyed the respectful gazes of the people around him. He took out a piece of white paper from his pocket and handed it to General Sher.

"This is the commando radio channel. The commando and the prisoners are still in Idrica City, surrounded by the enemy's superior forces. You'd better arrive at Idrica City as soon as possible to pick them up."

Handing the white paper to the chief of staff beside him, General Sher said: "I will immediately ask the 10th Armored Division to form a battle group. As soon as the Soviet army on the west leaves, they will immediately advance to the city of Idrica."

"Very good, just like that. After we take over Idrica from the Russians, I will bring those warriors to you, and you can ask them personally about their detailed process of this mission."

"I desperately hope to see those warriors," said Admiral Schell.

The Soviet army in the west of the city did not allow General Sher to spend too much time waiting.

After aerial reconnaissance and confirming that the Soviet army had retreated, the 10th Panzer Division drew out a tank battalion, a motorized infantry battalion and a self-propelled artillery battalion, and then formed a regiment-level combat group and advanced to the city of Idrica along the road where the Soviet army retreated.

The battle group cleared the minefields set up by the Soviet army along the way and cleared the wreckage of the tanks blocking the road. It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that they arrived outside the city of Idrica.

At this time, the city of Idrica was already in unprecedented panic.

The capture of Lelyushenko and Vorobev caused the Soviet army in Idrica to lose command, just as a person had lost his brain, and all actions lost coordination.

More than 200 guards surrounded the ruins of the villa, but did not dare to launch an attack in order to ensure the safety of the hostages.

On the streets of the city, from time to time, the troops of the 42nd Tank Division passed through the city and headed towards the Stalin defense line to the west.

When the second wave of bombers summoned by Lieutenant Jackman arrived at Idritsa, the hustle and chaos in Idritsa reached its peak.

Without waiting for the dense aviation bombs to fall, the Soviet guards surrounding the ruins of the villa scattered, searching for hidden places everywhere.

On the highway in the city, countless flames burst out from the marching convoy of the 42nd Tank Division, and the powerful air waves even drove the truck into the air.

Amid the rolling smoke and explosions, the streets of Idrica were filled with corpses with different appearances.

As the earth shook again and again, Lieutenant Jackman finally heard the voice from a friendly army on the radio.

"Lt. Jackman, I am Colonel Max of the 10th Armored Division. I am now outside the city. Please wait patiently with your subordinates. After the air strike is over, we will immediately attack the city and look forward to meeting you." (To be continued.)
