The tunnel was opened in three days.

When the German soldiers cheered in a low voice, Qin Chuan said to Gerhard: "I think we have to do two things!"

"What two things?" Gerhard asked.

"First of all, we should find all the bridge carts!" Qin Chuan said: "Because it is the hardest to explode, blowing it up can not only reduce the enemy's attack surface, but also prevent the enemy's tanks from landing!"

Gerhard nodded in agreement.

"Second!" After pausing, Qin Chuan continued: "I don't think we should just blow up the snow like this!"

"But what else can we do?" Gerhard looked puzzled.

"Look at this..." Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said: "The Soviets have pushed the front two miles from the Lovati River defense line, and they have also focused their main force and almost all their energy east of the Lovati River!"

"You're right!"

"That means..." Qin Chuan pointed to the part west of the Luowaji River and said: "Their defense to the west is very weak!"

"God!" Gerhard looked up: "You don't want to raid the Soviets!"

"Why not?" Qin Chuan said: "We assumed that they had not found that we had opened the tunnel to the Lovati River, so we didn't expect that we would appear on the west bank, which would catch them off guard. On the other hand, because their main force was already on the east bank, they were the logistics forces that they stayed on the west bank!"

Gerhard looked at Qin Chuan with shocked eyes: "But Captain, this is just your guess. We know nothing about their arrangement, and our troops are much less than them..."

Gerhard's words are understandable.

The key point is the lack of military strength in the German army.

Insufficient troops will lead to a problem, that is, the consequences of the German army's failure to bear the loss of troops.

What if the Soviet army on the west bank of the Lovati River is sufficient? What if the Soviet army is prepared? What if there are too many uncertain factors, as long as there is a confirmation, or the German army won but suffered heavy casualties, the result will be Holm will fall and the entire German army will collapse.

"Fighting is always risky, right?" Qin Chuan said: "This is a good opportunity for a sneak attack. Let's think about the rewards if the sneak attack is successful... There is a flat land around Holm. The Soviets are worried that the supply will be bombed by our fighter jets, so they will probably store the supply in the West Bank."

As he said that, Qin Chuan looked at Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard.

Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard nodded in agreement. After all, air supremacy is in the hands of the German army, but the German army cannot free up many fighter jets to bomb.

"Same reason!" Qin Chuan continued: "They will also attach artillery near the West Bank buildings, so that they will not be easily bombarded by air forces."

Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard nodded again. This was common sense. The Soviet bombing of Holm had also confirmed this. Otherwise, the Soviet artillery would have been blown up by German bombers.

"More importantly..." Qin Chuan continued: "The buildings on the west bank are the only place nearby to shelter from the wind and cold. Where do you think Soviet officers would hide?"

Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard's eyes couldn't help but lit up when he heard this.

After thinking about it, Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard said, "You convince me, Captain!"

Of course, it is not enough to just Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard agree.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard agrees, but what matters is Colonel Slein.

In order not to leak intelligence... this is very likely because part of the ground has been occupied by the Soviet army, and the Soviet army is very likely to overheard the German telephone or telegram.

So Qin Chuan went to the command center to discuss with Colonel Slein.

Colonel Slain himself was not a conservative commander, and he agreed without thinking.

Colonel Slein's evaluation of this sneak attack plan was: "Maybe, even if the sneak attack is successful, we cannot change anything. The Soviets' supplies concentrated in Holm may be a small part, but we can attack the enemy and boost the morale of our army, which is very important to us!"

Colonel Slain was right, this plan did not change much for Holm in principle... blow up supplies, defeat artillery soldiers or capture some Soviet officers.

You should know that there are three armies outside Holm, and the losses suffered by the Soviet army will be supplemented or even added soon.

But you should know that this is a lonely army besieged in Holm. Not only was this lonely army not beaten to death by the Soviet army, but it also launched a counterattack and achieved a brilliant victory. The potential impact of this on a unit and even the German army on the Eastern Front, which had just won a defeat, is immeasurable.

"Do you have any plans?" Colonel Slain asked Qin Chuan.

"No!" Qin Chuan shook his head and replied: "All we have to do is get out and then attack the West Bank!"

Qin Chuan is telling the truth. They know nothing about the enemy situation on the West Bank, and even if they want to have any plans, they cannot make them.

However, not having plans for the West Bank does not mean that there is no plan for other directions.

"If there must be any plan!" Qin Chuan said: "We can do a fake move... For example, in the east, we launched a feint attack on the Soviets, pretending to break through, so that the Soviet army that went deep into Holm would speed up the attack to increase pressure on us, and then we would..."

As he said that, Qin Chuan's fist hit the west bank of the Luowaji River.

"Very good!" said Colonel Slain, "I'll wait for your good news!"

At two o'clock in the morning, several red signal flares rose to Holm's cold night sky, followed by a mortar roar, and even several tanks were transferred to the east to launch an attack against the Soviet army.

A correspondent hurriedly ran into the command center and reported to Fontevich, who was awakened and was getting up in a cotton jacket, saying: "Comrade Political Commissar, the Germans suddenly launched an attack on the 82nd Infantry Regiment, and the firepower was very fierce. There were also tanks, Comrade Sokovsky asked for reinforcements!"

Vontevich couldn't help but stop listening to the report's movements, and then laughed: "The Germans can't hold on!"

Soon Peternoev rushed over, and he had the same idea as Vontevich.

"Comrade Political Commissar!" Peternoev said: "It seems that the Germans are going to give up Holm to break through!"

"Yes!" said Fontevich. "But they obviously don't know that they might live a few more days in Holm, and breaking through will only make them die faster!"

"Do you want to block them?" Peternoev asked.
