  Chapter 397 Psychology

   Not surprisingly, the order from the superior ca down quickly... Rokossovsky also couldn't withstand the pressure from chelis, after all, chelis represented the Supre Command.

   "Continue to attack!" Rokossovsky ordered helplessly: "Obey the command of Comrade chlis and hand over Rzhev to the 117th Division!"

  The 117th Division was one of the 9 divisions that escaped from the German encirclent. At this ti, they were resting on the Rzhev flank.

Shulka and Katukov couldn't help but be speechless when they heard this order. This is not to say that the 1st Guards Tank Brigade needs to rest or sothing, although the 1st Guards Tank Brigade does need to rest, they fought all the way here from Tver More than half of the tanks have been lost... part of it is battlefield attrition, and more is due to malfunctions.

   The failure rate of the "Matilda" tank is not low at all, let alone in extrely cold conditions.

   But more serious than this.

  From Katukov's point of view, the German reinforcents have arrived at the front line, and there are still a few armored divisions that have just arrived from Germany with sufficient clothing and supplies to recharge their batteries.

At the sa ti, the 1st Guards Tank Brigade has exposed the shortcomings of the "Matilda" due to its slow maneuvering speed due to previous battles. In addition, they are also the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, the 1st Guards Tank Brigade that has attracted the attention of the German army. The brigade...in this case, it is easy to be surrounded by German armored forces when fighting forward.

  From Shulka's point of view, he knows that from Rzhev to the west, there are a series of important places of the German army such as Holm.

  If the Soviet army attaches great importance to these important places, it may also be able to win.

  The problem is that the Soviet army is too optimistic about the current situation from top to bottom. They believe that this battle will undoubtedly drive the German army out of the country, and the strategic goal of the Supre Command is to at least hit the front line of Kyiv.

   Therefore, everyone did not pay attention to a small place like Holm, and of course they would not regard it as a threat. Most of the main force crossed the strongholds of Holm to pursue the German army.

   As a result, these troops will not be able to return after the ice and snow lt in spring.

  If the 1st Guards Tank Brigade continues to attack... they even drive the "Matilda" with a speed of less than 10 kiloters per hour, and they will not be able to escape even if they want to escape.

   But hlis didn't care about this. He looked at his watch and said, "I'll give you two hours to prepare, and we'll leave on ti in two hours!"

   "Yes, Comrade khlis!" Katukov replied, and then he shook his head helplessly at the staff officer to let him give the order.

   "Comrade Shulka!" chelis said: "Co to my headquarters!"

  chlis already has a headquarters in the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, representing the headquarters of the Supre Command.

  It is located next to Katukov's headquarters, which was originally Katukov's lounge...Katukov is in poor health and only carries one kidney to the frontline command, so he often needs to rest.

   "How is it, Comrade Shulka!" chlis asked Shulka: "Are you confident in this battle?"

   "Yes, Comrade chlis!" Shulka replied insincerely: "Of course I have confidence!"

   Shulka knew that it was useless to say anything else at this ti. Katukov had already said what needed to be said.

"Very good!" chlis nodded with satisfaction: "Comrade Shulka, I think you are a man of courage and wisdom. You will not join forces with those cowards! They are simply a disgrace to our army , is the enemy of the people, and at this mont they don't know how to take advantage of the victory to give the enemy a chance to breathe..."

   Then there were a lot of "blah blah", which made Shulka unbelievable that what he said was quite reasonable, at least it sounded like this, and he said it in a righteous and majestic manner.

  Shuerka even suspected that hlis in front of him was not the sa lieutenant general who almost peed his pants under the pursuit of the German army.

After talking for a while, hlis changed the subject and said to Shulka: "I appreciate you, Comrade Shulka! I can see that you are a soldier who can really fight on the battlefield, like you Just a captain...I don't think that fits your talent at all."

"No, Comrade hlis, I lack command experience!" Shulka was a little worried that hlis would be promoted indiscriminately, which would be counterproductive, and it would also arouse people's resentnt and think that he was filming hlis. Fart gets promoted only by being with such a person.

  But Shulka soon knew that his worries were unnecessary, and hlis didn't an anything in this regard.

hlis nodded and said, "Yeah, I looked at your file and saw that you went from private to captain in those few months...you deserve it, and I think you deserve more .But commanding troops to fight is not the sa as personal ritorious service, you need more training and command experience!"

   "Yes, Comrade hlis!" Shulka couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but at the sa ti was a little strange, what exactly this hlis wanted to say.

After a while, chlis said: "But Comrade Shulka, you don't need to worry about your ideas not being realized. You can report to , understand? Your job limits your ideas, you can report to ... If it is feasible, I will apply it to the battlefield!"

   Then Shulka understood.

  chlis hopes to use Shulka to gild himself.

   This is also one of the reasons why hlis promoted Shulka explicitly. He didn't want others to think that he was relying on Shulka for advice.

   There is a saying that "the more you lack, the more you will show off".

  chlis also has the sa ntality. He got into the position by making small reports. He is well-inford and of course he knows how others describe him behind his back.

  He wants to take off the title of "King of Small Reports", to make others look at him in a different light or to give him more bragging rights.

   But because he doesn’t know how to fight, he can only command indiscriminately on the front line and often quarrels with the front-line commanders... chlis’s command is actually only attack, attack, and brave attack, and nothing else.

  The reason why he was chased and beaten by the German army before was because Hao Daxi chased the German army too closely and was counterattacked.

Frightened half to death, chlis originally planned to stay far away from the battlefield and give up the idea of ​​gilding. The appearance of Shurka made his eyes shine: this is the legendary "breakout hero", why not use his What about battlefield skills? "

   At this ti, Shulka felt a little more relaxed, because he knew that if he grasped the ntality of chlis, then things would be much easier to handle.
