    He told him to put a huge party flag on the tank to avoid being accidentally injured by his own people before spraying paint.

    ¡° Then Hewitt lifted the roof and climbed out. When he jumped out of the tank, Hoffman happily came up to him. He congratulated Hewitt on his safe return.  Dickman saluted Hewitt with a standard military salute, "Sir, Captain Dickman of the 1st Company reports to you"

    Hewitt understood that after the deputy battalion commander died in the line of duty, Captain Rouse was unable to do the job, and the experienced Captain Dickman temporarily replaced the command.

    The next round of the Russian attack will be launched at any time, and there is no time for them to chat. Hewitt said straight to the point: "Thank you, Captain, please tell me about the situation on the position"

    "Sir, after last night's battle, all positions in the commercial district on the left side of the strategic highway have been lost. The 3rd Company of the 1st Armored Battalion and the two tank platoons of the 'Narco Tank Battle Group have been wiped out;  My 1st platoon was all killed, and there were about a dozen or less men left in the 1st platoon. Under the leadership of Sergeant DeBoer, they were still holding on to the last section of the business district position on the left side before Ribb Square.  It¡¯s only a matter of time before the defense line is destroyed.

    "Absurd!" Hewitt said with a sullen look on his face: "What about the civilians hiding in the bunker?"

    Dickman was at a loss for words for a moment; " the people should have evacuated long ago"

    "Where can they escape to?"

    Dickman argued, "It's better to suffer less than to be killed by Russians"

    "Maybe you are right" Only by thinking this way will everyone feel better. Besides, even if he is shot dead now, it will not change anything: "Remember, Captain, it is forbidden to destroy the underground bunker  £®£®Please preserve the last chance of survival for German civilians who did not evacuate.

    "As ordered, sir" Dickman replied in a very soft voice.

    ¡°What¡¯s the situation like in the commercial district on the right side of the right strategic highway that we are in now?

    "The situation is also very bad -! Sir, the 1st of our company is actually in name only, with less than 1 squad left. Fortunately, Lieutenant Hauser's armored platoon of the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion carried out a counterattack.  Defeat the Russians' attempt to cross the strategic road and expand their gains to the right."

    The 1st Battalion is an armored battalion. Their mission is to guard the strategic heights outside the city. But now the 1st Battalion and 1st Company have retreated to the city to fight street battles?  Coupled with the Gutman platoon from the reconnaissance battalion brought back by Hewitt, the organization was completely in chaos!

    "The reason why we were able to defeat the Russian attack is also thanks to the small team you led that disrupted the enemy's attack rhythm. The Russians stopped the attack and retreated without realizing it. If the Russians attack again after dawn, the consequences will be disastrous.  £®

    "Resolutely withstand the Russian attack without taking a step back!" Hewitt said coldly.

    "ButSir, what can I do to withstand the Russian attackI have already exhausted all my men" Dickman looked at Hewitt resentfully.

    "I will send you reinforcements I will order Guttmann's platoon of the reconnaissance battalion to take a short rest and then enter the position to reinforce you; at the same time, you will also have the support of Hauser's platoon. If you don't get further from me  Before the new order is issued, you must stand firmly in the commercial area and not retreat without authorization."

    ¡°As you command, sir.¡± A smile appeared on Dickman¡¯s stiff face, but it was fleeting.

    Hewitt stroked Captain Dickman's solid back and said in a deep voice: "I know it's difficult for you, but your defense line is very important. If you can't hold it, the 2nd Company in the factory area will be attacked from both sides, and the defense line will be destroyed by the Russians."  The entire defense system will collapse. You should know the consequences."

    Captain Dickman said firmly: "Please rest assured that our army will fight to the last soldier and will never retreat from the battle."

    "Okay, let's go inspect your position and visit the wounded." They walked towards T Qian together.

    Hoffman said to Hewitt with a face full of joy: "Sir, I have good news for you. I just received the report that Carmen's team successfully returned to the Hewitt Army position in the residential area. The 'Destroyer' on which Captain Blackadder was riding  £®

    "It's very good" Although Hewitt said this, there was an unconcealable melancholy in Hewitt's heart: "Is there any news about Captain Korfi"

    ??Hoffman shook his head: "Unfortunately, there is no news about this yet"

    Sitting in the command vehicle, Hewitt was silent for a long time, feeling very sad. It seemed that Captain Korfi's first-level commando squadron would not be able to come back.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  He has always been his most capable subordinate!

    Then, Hewitt and Captain Dickman inspected the 1st Company's positions and discussed possible offensive methods by the Russian army.

    While they were talking, Hoffman reported again: He had just received a call from Captain Rouse. Reinforcements sent by Zemland Group Army had arrived and Hewitt was asked to rush back to the battalion headquarters immediately.

    This was great news. Hewitt immediately asked Dickman to convey it, and the morale of the 1st Company was obviously boosted.

    Hewitt said goodbye to Captain Dickman in a hurry and drove to the command post.  !

    The commander of the reinforcements was a captain of the National Defense Forces. His fair face was stained with blood, and his brand-new uniform was stained with dust. He looked shocked and slumped in a marching chair like a pile of mud.

    Hewitt was very disappointed when he saw his appearance. He knew that he was an aristocratic officer with no actual combat experience and was used to being pampered. He felt very disgusted in his heart.

    "We were attacked by Russian air attacks on the way here, and our battalion headquarters was directly hit" His face was still full of horror: "I am the highest-ranking officer left.  We have suffered heavy casualties. £®

    "Stand at attention¡ª¡ª!" Hewitt interrupted his ramblings loudly.

    The captain shot out of his chair as though he'd been pricked with needles, and stood at attention in front of Hewitt, although his legs were still a little shaky.

    "Captain Schubert, the temporary commander of the 2nd company of the 12th Supplementary Battalion of Zemland Group Army, reports to you, sir!" He finally understood who he was talking to.

    "How many troops are there in your camp now?" Hewitt looked into his eyes sullenly.

    "Reporting to the commander, my battalion also has about 150 people and a field rescue team of about 20 people. It is equipped with four destroyers, seven Leopard Yin vehicles, five anti-aircraft guns and ten assault guns.  "

    "Although it's a little short, it's still a very impressive team!" Hewitt smiled slightly, and then said loudly: "I order -"

    Captain Schubert stood as straight as a stick, and Hoffman took up his pen and began to take shorthand.

    "Your battalion is immediately organized into three platoons. The 1st platoon is equipped with five assault guns and goes to reinforce Sergeant Deber's position on the left side of the commercial district; the 1st platoon is equipped with five assault guns and four Leopards.  The battalion reserve team is equipped with five assault guns and four destroyers and is on standby in a bunker in a residential area. "

    Schubert's face turned pale and he stammered in agreement: "Ming, I understand"

    Hewitt turned to Hoffman and said, "To add to this, a platoon from the 2nd Motorized Infantry Company of the original reserve force was returned to the formation and joined the defense of the factory area; three Leopard Yin tanks were added to 'Nar.  Section, the tank battle group was reorganized into the "Knight Platoon," with Wittmann's second-level commando squadron leader as the platoon leader; the anti-aircraft artillery was supplemented by the engineer company and deployed on both sides of the bridge, responsible for air defense. "

    Hewitt's knowledge of everything is based on his understanding of his troops and grasp of the overall situation. It is also because of the responsibility of a commander that Hewitt always maintains a clear mind and calmness: "In addition,  Gutmann's platoon and Hausser's platoon immediately joined the position on the right side of the business district, following the command of Captain Dickmann. After the remaining troops of the tank battle group were reorganized, they were led by

    ¡®Blackadder, commanded by the commander of the second commando squadron, is ready to support the 1st company at any time.  Please relocate the field medical team to underground bunkers in residential areas.  "

    "Adjutant Hoffman, please deploy and deploy your troops within twenty minutes. The enemy's attack will begin at any time!" Captain Rouse added.

    "Thenthen my position" Captain Schubert asked awkwardly. His troops had been dismembered by Hewitt.

    "As for Captain Schubert, we still need to know the situation of Zemland Army from you." Hewitt smiled.

    "Our battalion started operations yesterday, so we were able to reach Robbinstel successfully. Part of the 13th Infantry Army of the Russian 43rd Army had already inserted itself between Robbinstel and Zemland Army.  The following Dirk Division was intercepted by the Russians and suffered heavy casualties. £®

    "Unfortunately, our communication with the higher level has been cut off for nearly twelve hours. I think General Rusch will need your information very much. Captain Rouse, please transfer the jeep to Schubert."  Captain, send a guard to escort the captain immediately to Kony.Go to the fort.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "

    "Thank you, sir!" An imperceptible smile flashed across Captain Schubert's face.

    Hewitt also smiled, "Good luck, Captain."

    Shortly after daybreak, the Russian shelling began again.  Hewitt was sitting in front of the command podium looking at the military map and thinking about the battle plan against the Russians.  The guard came in and reported: "Sir, a corporal has asked to see you"

    "Is there any mistake?!" Hewitt looked at the guard unhappily.

    "He said he had very important informationso I hope you can meet him." The guard continued unmoved.

    Hewitt sneered and thought, "You believe this." He said helplessly: "Okay, let him in!"

    What came in was a corporal from the Wehrmacht in his twenties: "Corporal Fischer of the 3rd Armored Company of the 12th Supplementary Battalion of Zemland Group Army reports to you, sir."

    "What's the matter?" Hewitt suppressed his anger and asked calmly.

    "Sir, I am a machine gunner who was assigned to your reserve team. I was originally a tank driver. Of course, my tank no longer exists. Today"

    "Let's make a long story short!" Hewitt interrupted him impatiently.

    "I, I just found a body at the street corner. He was killed by Russian artillery fire. Out of curiosity, I checked his ID. He was the driver of your Panther command tank  "

    Hewitt felt a pain in his heart. He didn't expect that such an excellent pilot as Corporal Ziegler would be killed so worthlessly.

    Feeling that Hewitt looked ugly, Corporal Fisher hurriedly explained, "The important thing of course the important thing is not this, but this"

    He put a briefcase on Hewitt's command podium. Hewitt opened it and took a look. It was all filled with Russian combat maps and documents, but unfortunately they were all in Russian.  But one of the notes was in German, and Hewitt picked it up and read:

    "To the battalion headquarters:

    Dear Battalion Commander:

    While modifying and painting the captured ¡®SS6¡¯ tank, we found the body of a Russian officer in the tank¡¯s seat.  This is probably a captain officer. We found a briefcase from him, which is the one you see. I believe there is something of interest to you in it.  So I asked your driver to deliver it to you immediately.

    Best wishes to you!

    Your most loyal subordinate: Sergeant Heinze.  "

    Hewitt once again picked up the Russian combat maps and examined them carefully. One of them was obviously a map of the city of Robbinstel, with the number and attack route of the Russian regiment marked on it. On the map, the bridge was drawn with colored pencils.  made a circle.  Unsurprisingly, the Russians were also interested in this important bridge across the river on the strategic road to K?nigsberg.

    The total length of the bridge is 505 meters, with four lanes in both directions and a reinforced concrete structure.  If the German army blows up this bridge, it will be quite difficult to erect a pontoon bridge because of the wide river surface and strong current. The Russian army will be delayed here for three to five days.  I just don't know how the Russians will seize the bridge.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Hewitt frowned in thought, and Corporal Fisher obviously felt that Hewitt ignored his presence: "Uh Sir I think I might be able to help you.  £®

    "Oh Corporal, do you know Russian?" Hewitt was delighted.

    "No sir. I don't know Russian! But I know someone who does"

    "who?"

    "Miss Nora from the field hospital who came up with the reinforcements from the German camp, she can speak Russian. And she is very beautiful!" Corporal Fisher smiled cautiously.

    "How do you know she knows Russian?" Hewitt also laughed.

    "On the way here, our anti-aircraft artillery shot down an enemy plane. I saw with my own eyes that Miss Nora was able to help the officers interrogate the downed Russian pilot."

    "Very well, Corporal, you did your job well! If I heard correctly, you turned out to be a tank driver"

    "Yes, sir! I was driving the Destroyer"

    "Then I will appoint you as the driver of my "SS6" command tank

    "Oh, thank you, sir, that's great!" Fisher beamed. He must have a very special feeling for tanks.

    "Your post is in the underground bunker of the repair team in the factory area. Please return to the vehicle crew immediately and obey Sergeant Heinze."??Command.  "

    "Yes!" Corporal Fisher saluted Hewitt with a military salute and hurriedly took the order.

    Hewitt is already full of expectations just for the name "Miss Nora". Is it because she can help Hewitt unlock the secrets of military intelligence?  Or was it because Corporal Fisher said she was beautiful?  Hewitt didn't know, he just felt an inexplicable joy and excitement.  Hewitt picked up the phone and called the operator, "Please put me through to the field hospital"

    The golden sunlight shines in from the perforations of the bunker, and it seems to bring the meaning of life.  At this moment, I really don't want to hide in the bunker like a mouse. I really want to go out and bathe in the spring sunshine. But the sunshine at this time is cursed and the most deadly to the German army.

    ¡°War leaves little time for you to yearn for beautiful things. The roar of the plane as it dived woke Hewitt out of his contemplation, and the three telephones on the command podium rang almost at the same time.  Hewitt's adjutant, Hoffman, is still on the mission to set up a field hospital and has not returned. Which phone should Hewitt answer first?

    Just when Hewitt was undecided, the ringtone of one of the phones suddenly stopped. It was the phone leading to Captain Dickman's position.

    Hewitt couldn't think anymore. He grabbed two microphones with both hands at the same time. Before they were close to his ears, the sound from the microphones was already frighteningly loud. The roaring gunfire was mixed with anxious shouts. It was the business district.  In the position on the left, Sergeant DeBoer loudly asked for retreat; in the other position in the factory area, Captain Carmen shouted fieryly.

    "The Russians took advantage of the good weather to launch a general offensive!" A judgment flashed through Hewitt's mind.

    Sergeant DeBoer reported that four of the five assault guns of the reinforcement platoon on the position were blown up by the Russian Air Force before they could fully enter the position, and the entire platoon had been basically wiped out.

    There is about a Russian assault infantry battalion advancing step by step, searching and cleaning up.  The Russians have not discovered the bunker of DeBoer's team yet.  Sergeant DeBoer requested an immediate retreat to residential positions, claiming that there was no point in holding on in the business district.  He urged Hewitt so urgently that there was almost no room for thought, as if every minute wasted was killing someone.  There is no doubt about one thing. Even if the dozen or so people left by Sergeant DeBoer stay there, they really can't change anything.

    "Agree to retreat!" Even I couldn't believe that Hewitt had such a good heart.
