Chapter 505 Prospects
Colonel Slain guessed correctly. After Hannah recovered from her injuries, she heard that Qin Chuan's troops were besieged in Holm.
In fact, this is not necessary to be heard. Major newspapers in Berlin are rushing to use it in the most eye-catching location to publish the news that the First Infantry Regiment's difficulties in Holm and the struggle with a Soviet assault army, thus ensuring the safe retreat of the German Northern Army.
But Hannah didn't have the habit of reading newspapers, and she was more concerned about planes and test flights than the war itself.
So, she only knew that there was a German army trapped in Holm for more than a month, but she never realized that this army was the army where Qin Chuan was... She subconsciously thought that Qin Chuan's troops should be in Africa rather than the Soviet Union.
It was not until people talked about the "Legend Sergeant" commanding the troops to launch a sneak attack in Holm and achieved a brilliant victory that Hannah realized that Qin Chuan was trapped in Holm.
Needless to say, Hannah immediately flew to the Eastern Front and used her own influence to discuss a rescue plan with Kruger and others.
Originally, Kruger was unwilling to do so.
"We can't do this, Hannah!" Kruger said: "The army is a collective, and doing so will affect Holm's morale, and I believe Captain Flick would not agree to do this!"
"You would say that because you don't know who he is!" Hannah said: "I'm not referring to how many merits he has made, nor do I mean that he has won many honors, I'm referring to his role, what it does to Germany... Think about it, Marshal, the bazooka used by your troops was even invented by him. Do you think it's appropriate to be like this guy trapped in Holm and not rescued?"
Hanna didn't dare to say anything about V1, this thing is still confidential now.
Listening to Hannah's words, Kruger and Tresco couldn't help but look at each other. Strictly speaking, Hannah's words also make sense. A captain who could invent the bazooka demanded special treatment not just a matter of "going back door", but considering it from the interests of the country.
At this moment, Colonel Slein sent Yakov's confession, which mentioned that the Soviets might target "Legendary Sergeant".
So there was no doubt, and Kruger immediately agreed to Hannah's plan.
But these are actually all nonsense, because Qin Chuan disagreed.
For this reason, Colonel Slain contacted Hannah.
"How are you?" Hannah asked on the phone.
"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "I'm fine!"
"Listen, Captain!" Hannah said: "I can bring you out of there, and no deny!"
"I agree!" Qin Chuan replied: "But I remember that what I promised you was FA330!"
"What's the meaning?"
"That is to say..." Qin Chuan replied: "You can only use FA330 to bring me out!"
"You bastard!" Hannah cursed in anger on the other end: "You know that this is impossible. FA330 is a submarine-driven aircraft!"
"Forget it, Hannah!" Qin Chuan said: "I have every reason to believe that if I leave here, Holm will be lost. And Holm's loss will have a serious impact on the entire battle, as well as the Northern Army and the Central Army..."
Qin Chuan did not exaggerate. Holm's existence made several Soviet armies unable to intersperse the Soviet defense line with confidence. This is also one of the reasons why Qin Chuan chose to refuse... Holm was defended in history. What if he left himself and caused Holm to fall?
"You're just a captain!" Hannah was unwilling to give up: "Don't think of yourself so important!"
"Oh, you saw through it!" Qin Chuan replied: "Actually, I'm worried... if I leave, those Soviets would miss me!"
Hannah on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing.
After a while of silence, Hannah said, "Actually, I know, you won't be willing to leave alone, but I still can't stop myself...
"I understand, Hannah!" Qin Chuan replied: "One day, maybe I need you to take it out of danger, but it won't be now!"
"Then, take care of yourself!"
"I will!"
Then Marshal Kruger took the call and said, "Salute to you, Captain. I don't know how to praise you for your heroic behavior, because any praise in front of you will appear pale and powerless..."
"Marson Marshal!" Qin Chuan said: "Please be honest. I think it should be time to consider longer-term issues!"
"What?" Kruger asked unexpectedly: "What are you referring specifically, Captain?"
"Suppose we can defend Holm!" Qin Chuan replied: "That would be an opportunity for us, because in this way, several Soviet troops would inevitably be trapped west of Holm."
"Oh, yes!" Kruger nodded and said, "Of course, we will gather troops to surround them by then!"
"I don't know what you have to do!" Qin Chuan said: "But I think you should at least consider one thing: after the snow melts, there are streams, swamps and muddy roads everywhere, which will have a great impact on our traffic and operations, and the Soviets were used to it!"
Kruger couldn't help but open his mouth for a long time and didn't react. He did not consider this.
After a while, Kruger nodded and said, "Yes, Captain, your advice is good, which means we need to prepare more supplies in advance, and obtain more terrain and hydrological information from the Soviet people or prisoners."
"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "There are also airports, and some airports may be unusable due to mud!"
"Of course!" Kruger agreed.
After putting down the phone, Kruger said to Hannah: "You are right, Hannah, I understand now why you want to rescue him. In fact... it is indeed a stupid thing to put him in a siege!"
Colonel Slein and others made a correct analysis. The Soviet Union did have a plan for Qin Chuan.
Just the day after the Soviet army was attacked, General Pukayev personally rushed to Holm to take charge of command.
Mattevich welcomed this because the responsibility on his shoulders is much smaller. On the other hand, the commander of the army...that will undoubtedly mobilize more troops and resources.
However, more troops and resources seem to be useless, because Holm is so large and the troops he can invest at the same time are very limited.
