Wolfgang and his subordinates did not expect that this street battle would be so easy!
The 11th Army had fought street battles in other battlefields before. However, the previous street battles were all tough and bloody battles. They finally won by relying on better weapons and stronger fighting spirit to defeat the defenders in the city.
Moreover, after every street battle, their casualties were very high.
However, this time, although the 239th Division had also suffered a lot of casualties, compared to the street battles they had fought before, the casualties this time were nothing!
Moreover, considering the results they had achieved so far, it could be said that this battle was already the most outstanding one they had fought so far!
"The equipment provided by Marshal Manstein at the last moment is really useful!”
"That's right. With this equipment, our soldiers can work more closely together. We don't have to worry about coordination when we attack.
Moreover, because of the smoother communication channels, we don't need to invest more troops at once like usual. This way, even if we encounter a counterattack from the Soviets, our casualties will be much smaller. It can be said that this is the reason why we can achieve a brilliant victory this time.”
"The marshal said that it seems to be called a radio walkie-talkie!”
"Yes, yes, I remember now. I'll request more from the marshal later. With this thing, our battles will be easier in the future!”
Wolfgang and his subordinates were very satisfied with the 10,000 walkie-talkies that Manstein took out!
These walkie-talkies had helped them a lot in the street fighting!
With this thing, they could communicate with each other anytime and anywhere in the streets. The orders of the commander could even be directly passed down to the hands of every ordinary soldier!
As a result, the German soldiers cooperated well in the attack. They had a clear division of labor. One group was responsible for blasting, one for cover, and one for assault.
After the explosion began, the soldiers immediately opened fire to suppress the enemy's firing point, while the assault team quickly rushed out and used the latest MP40 submachine gun to shoot at the nearby Soviet soldiers.
The Soviets were not used to the fact that they had just heard the sound of an explosion and had not had time to react before the enemy had already rushed in front of them.
They had never seen such tacit cooperation, so they did not have much time to react. The consequence of not reacting was that the moment the German assault soldiers pulled the trigger, their fate was already doomed!
In such a carefree battle, the soldiers of the 239th division naturally became more and more brave!
Therefore, when they heard Manstein's order to retreat, they seemed a little unwilling.
Although the casualties of the troops were not small, the morale of the troops was high at this time. They were preparing to continue attacking the next block in one go. If they took down this block, they would be able to directly threaten Mao Xiong's command center in the center of the city!
According to a captured soldier, Mao Xiong's command center in Lelingrador was not far from them. As long as they attacked the city center, it would not take long for them to reach Mao Xiong's command center!
If he was lucky, he might even catch a few big fish!
Even if they were unlucky and did not catch a big fish, conquering the core area of the enemy in the city center was a great achievement in itself!
However, Wolfgang knew what was important.
No matter how well they fought, an order was still an order. If they disobeyed orders on the battlefield, they would be shot!
Therefore, after receiving the order, he did not say a word and immediately ordered the troops to hand over the position to the 22nd Division.
The soldiers of the 22nd Division had been watching the show for a long time. They could not hold back anymore when they saw the 239th Division, which was inferior to them in terms of experience and strength, in the limelight.
After being transferred to the front line, they immediately displayed the ruthlessness of a new force and launched a fierce attack on the Soviets in multiple positions.
The Soviets stationed in these positions were already on the verge of collapse under the attack of the 239th Division. Now that the other side had replaced them with an even more ferocious force, how could they be a match?
In less than an hour, the Soviets stationed in the Urban area were defeated. After leaving behind a pile of corpses, they fled in panic.
When the news reached the rear, everyone in the command post cheered!
After taking down this key position, they were already approaching the core area of the Urban area!
As long as they occupied the core area, they could use this place as a base point to spread out and eliminate the Soviets in the surroundings bit by bit.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the city fell into the hands of the German army!
"Send a message to Marshal Leeb of the northern army group. Tell them about our military exploits in the Urban area so that they will be happy!”
When he thought of the allied forces 'desperate attack on the southern front, which involved a large number of Soviet troops and created an excellent fighter plane for his side, Manstein naturally returned the favor and shared the joy with them at the first moment!
After all, victory did not belong to one person, but to the entire Northern Army Group, the entire German Army, and even the entire Empire!
Such good news naturally couldn't be hidden!
Moreover, if Marshal Leeb heard this news, he would be very happy!
After all, it was his last wish to take down Lingler before he retired!
……
Manstein was right. When his telegram was delivered to Marshal Leeb, the latter was so excited that his hands trembled. He asked the others several times incoherently before confirming that he was not dreaming. Everything was real!
"That's great! That's great!"
"It's been more than a year! The dynasty had lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the northern battlefield. They had come to the city several times, but they had returned in defeat. Today, they finally had a chance to take down this city. This was great!”
Even though the old marshal tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, he could not stop the tears from rolling in his eyes.
He had been waiting for this day for far too long!
However, the wait was worth it. As long as he could succeed this time, everything would be worth it!
"It's really strange. I wonder what kind of magic General Manstein used. Why are the stinky and hard Soviets like stones in a latrine pit in front of us?”
General Quhillel, the commander of the 18th Army, who had once led his troops to attack Lelingrador, muttered in a low voice after hearing the news.
"Hehe, that means that he's good at fighting. This is true ability. You can't be jealous!”
" That's right. When we attacked Sevastopol, everyone thought that we couldn't take it down, but Manstein did it. When we attacked Gaul, the entire Empire, including the Ruler, was extremely nervous. In the end, Manstein changed the battle plan, and the Empire easily took Gaul. In one month, we completed what the Second Empire couldn't do in four years!”
"Therefore, some things depend on talent, and Manstein is undoubtedly a person with such top-notch military talent!”
