Chapter 1834 Two Riddlers

"Take the initiative to retreat? And go west???"

After hearing this, Malashenko, holding the radio transmitter in his hand, was immediately puzzled. He expected that the German armored forces would rush north like crazy, but he did not expect them to stop and retreat so quickly, and then go west immediately after retreating. This is the most real doubt in Malashenko's heart at the moment.

"Retreat to the west, retreat to the west"

Because of the continuous command and participation in the front line of the battle, Malashenko, who was still in a state of adrenaline rush, had to calm down immediately and enter a temporary state of thinking, which was necessary at the moment.

There were no troops deployed to the west of the station, not even a feint attack force. Malashenko, who personally formulated the tactical plan, of course remembered that this deployment he made was correct.

Could it be that the Germans noticed this and planned to mobilize highly mobile armored forces to attack the flank from the west to reduce the pressure on the front that was constantly under fierce attack?

Malashenko initially thought that this was most likely the case, but after thinking about it carefully, he quickly felt that this possibility was too outrageous.

Apart from anything else, have you ever seen an armored unit retreat with a clear intention, so that the enemy can see clearly the direction in which it will move next? To say that this retreat is to move to the west to launch a surprise attack, is this a bit too much? Are the Germans' troops and strength really strong enough to make them make it clear that they are plotting? Obviously not.

So, why did the Germans suddenly withdraw and stop fighting in a hurry, and were they not afraid of being seen by the Red Army to flee to the west?

All this seems too unreasonable, unless the Germans clearly want to release some signals that they are not afraid of or even hope to be seen by the Red Army through the key information of retreating to the west. In short, this is intentional.

But it must not be said that the Germans' brains are not working well or their IQ is not enough. If the Red Army accidentally sees the direction of the next retreat and transfer, Malashenko does not think that the Skeleton Division, one of the four heroes of the SS, will be so stupid.

The west is the direction of the occupied area that is still in the hands of the Germans. The Germans could not bear the pressure under the strong offensive and retreated to the west. This is obviously reasonable.

Wait, retreat?

Malashenko, who had a glimmer of brilliance in his mind, quickly grasped the key point. Why did he just try to think that the Germans were going west to outflank and attack his flank? The worst case scenario is indeed a possibility that must be vigilant, but it does not mean that the facts will definitely be like this.

What if the Germans are not outflank, but really want to retreat in a big way?

Malashenko immediately began to weave all the key information in his mind and put it together. He quickly came up with a possibility that even Malashenko himself found almost unbelievable.

"I'm going to retreat, I tell you clearly. The baby is yours. If you want it, take it as soon as possible. It's best not to force it to perish together."

""

Will this be true? The Germans, whose intestines are all pure straight, really make these twists and turns and use such a connotative expression?

Malashenko was not sure whether the situation was really as he imagined, but there was a way to confirm it, a way to quickly get a "response" from the Germans.

"The third regiment will return to the front to prepare for a general attack. There is no need to pursue the enemy or get entangled. Come to me immediately!"

"The second regiment will dispatch the second and third battalions to prepare for the enemy attacking from the west and be on standby at any time. It is likely to be the German armored forces. Stay alert."

The Germans made it clear that the armored forces would withdraw to the west, and Malashenko also tentatively gave some responses to confirm his guess.

Soon, Hermann, who was still keeping an eye on the situation ahead behind the hidden observation point, saw such a scene.

Although the Russian infantry troops had begun to attack the outermost walls and buildings of the railway station under the cover of direct fire from tanks, the offensive was very fierce and it would not take long for them to break in and go deeper.

But in sharp contrast, the Russian heavy armored forces neither rushed to the station with all their members and at full speed, nor did they move their forces to the west to intercept their own armored forces and prevent the enemy from escaping. Most of the tanks simply paused their offensive and remained on standby.

The extremely rich and saturated heavy armored forces in the hands of the Russians fully supported them to do so, but the current situation was that such a scene did not happen.

In Hermann's own opinion, there was only one answer that could explain this seemingly unreasonable situation.

"The Russian commander on the opposite side is a smart man. They understand what we mean and have given a positive answer with practical actions."

At this moment, the person standing next to Hermann is no longer the adjutant. The young adjutant had long been sent by Hermann to convey and supervise the execution of his orders. The person standing next to Hermann is the chief of staff of the Skull Division.

As for the words that came out of Hermann's mouth just after he put down the telescope, the chief of staff, who was looking at his partner with a slightly cold smile on his face, really couldn't believe that Hermann's method of conveying information in this way and reaching an "equivalent transaction" with the Russians on the opposite side could actually work.

"I can't believe this is true! I thought the Russians would immediately send out armored troops to intercept our armored troops in a roundabout direction to the west. Counting the armored troops chasing after us, it would definitely be the end of a pincer attack from both front and rear. . But the Russians sent neither pursuit nor interception troops. This completely corresponds to the assumption you just made, which is incredible. "

The chief of staff's tone was both shocked and full of exclamation. Such a tone sounded like a proper compliment to Herman. The cold smile on his face quickly grew under this stimulation. Become even more so.

"They will not do this. They will never send pursuit troops or interception troops, because their main target from the beginning to the end is not us but the treasures in the station. I guessed it completely!"

"The Russian commander opposite must have understood what I wanted to tell him. He also knows better that the treasure is in our hands, and it can turn into the result he least wants to see at any time."

"So even though these Russian infantry seem to be attacking fiercely now, in fact they have agreed to the exchange terms we proposed. The pretentious attack is just a reminder to us to hurry up and that they will not compromise too much. However, we But they can evacuate smoothly. The premise is that the Russians have to get the treasure they want. Finally, some necessary operations must be added to make the Russians dare not go back on their word. These Russians have no integrity. It’s okay, so it’s necessary.”
