The reason was very decisive, because he had sent a lot of tanks, tank destroyers, assault guns, aircraft, and other weapons and equipment, but they were all destroyed by the German army.

The war started less than two hours later. How could such a defeat not make him angry?

Moreover, he has not forgotten General Rokosovsky's warnings and threats to him, and of course he has a large number of troops and weapons and equipment support.

But if this battle fails, then he will have no good results except for his miserable death.

At least this is the thing Commander Bukarov of the 13th Army, the most worried and afraid of now.

"Damn Germans, they are really cunning this time!"

Faced with the increasingly heavy losses, Commander Karov couldn't help but curse.

That was because during the two hours of the war, he didn't know that Model's troops had so many troops emerged from there, and those powerful troops equipped with new weapons.

Even their tank group is new. The No. 3 and No. 4 tanks that we often encountered before were not seen many during these two-hour battles.

Especially the 15th Infantry Division of the Sudians, which the German army is now attacking fiercely, the tank models they use; they are all Leopard medium tanks and Tiger heavy tanks.

But what made him most trouble now was simply the strength and powerful performance of the German new weapons and equipment; but because before the war started, he did not know where the enemy came from, nor where they wanted to attack.

It is because of this that he has to constantly divide his troops to guard against all the defensive fronts.

This practice made him divide more and more troops, thus dispersing his troops more and more, and making him less and less capable of fighting and defending the enemy.

Just like the situation he is facing now, if he strengthens the troops in the front defensive front, then his defense forces behind and in other aspects will be reduced; by the same token, no matter whether he is strengthening the troops on the front, back, left and right sides, he will weaken the troops on the other sides, at least one side of the defensive front at the same time.

In other words, he is now trapped in defense of both front, back, left and right, and the troops in front, back, left and right become weak.

This is what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that there are few soldiers and weak forces, because he passively disperses a large number of soldiers set up defenses everywhere; to guard against enemy attacks. On the contrary, if his own troops have strong strength, then it is because his own troops are in chaos and his troops are dispatched everywhere to guard against their attacks.

This is the essence of Sun Tzu's Art of War that Chen Yanlong told Model. To strike less is not a matter of force, but a matter of virtuality.

"You have really determined that the German army's main attack point is our 15th Infantry Division?"

Commander Bukarov, who was sometimes attacked by Model, sometimes like Lin XBiao's attack tactics of two-faced and three-faced attacks, was so dazed that he was so angry that he asked a staff officer named Nikola Oranin beside him casually.

"Yes! Yes! Commander! Because our 15th Infantry Division is now facing the German army's latest Leopard and Tiger tanks, and the attacks are also assisting them with the German aviation troops, as well as a large number of new rocket launchers, tank destroyers, artillery groups and infantry units of at least three divisions..."

Asked by the hideous face of Commander Karov, the staff officer Nikola Oranin, who was frightened and a little at a loss, immediately said in fear.

"What are our reconnaissance forces and intelligence departments going to have to eat! Why are we not clear about every move of the German army at all! Now we have not even found out the main attack location of the opponent! Are you thinking that our 13th Army will be destroyed?"

"Are you really willing to be defeated by Model's 9th Army like this?"

Hearing the other party's answer, Commander Karov cursed even more angrily.

"No! We don't want to be defeated or die!"

"Yes! And we now know the main attack location of the German army, so we can now shrink all our troops and fully dispatch the 15th Division to support and fight back!"

"And we have a greater advantage, that is, after suffering major losses, we can quickly organize a large number of reserve teams with strong combat effectiveness to enter the battle in important battles."

Faced with Commander Karov's rage, other Soviet staff members also plucked up their courage and came out to express their opinions.

Upon hearing this, Commander Karov's terrible expression eased slightly.

Especially when he heard about the Soviet army's other major combat advantage, he felt a little relieved.

Because he also knew very clearly that the Soviet army's intermediate division level and above had two command agencies.

For example, the commanders of the division include chief and deputy division commander, chief and deputy chief of staff, etc. The abilities of chief and deputy officer are almost the same. The chief and deputy officer are responsible for the daily command of the troops, and the deputy officer is responsible for other tasks.

Once a battle occurs, the main job of the chief officer is to command the troops on the front battlefield and engage in life-and-death battles.

The deputy immediately led another command team to retreat urgently, and then waited for the command headquarters to replenish their troops and let them reorganize a combatant reserve team as soon as possible and prepare to enter the battle.

Because the Soviet army had sufficient human resources, he used this approach to establish a continuous reserve force for them and headed to the front line for combat.

"Well! I'm so upset that I've forgotten the three major elements of war that General Rokosovsky often told me about, time, reserve force, and weapons and equipment! Now, except for the temporary attack by the German new weapons, we will never lose to those damn German guys in the other two aspects of decisive elements!"

"Especially the number of our reserve team and the level of training are also more advantageous than theirs!"

"Since that's the case, then you will now shrink our forces to a certain extent and put some of the reserves into the defensive positions of the 15th Division. You will definitely not allow the Germans to break through our defense lines or damage our 15th Infantry Division!"

Then, Commander Karov frowned and remained silent for a while, then sighed softly and issued a new combat order.

"Yes! Commander! We think so too!"

All the combat staff responded loudly in unison.
Chapter completed!
