"Yes! General Model!"

Chief of Staff Everfert was shocked and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Okay! Let's have a brief combat meeting with General von Kenobesf!"

Moder waved his hand and said.

Chief of Staff Everfert nodded and followed him to find the commander of the 48th Armored Army to prepare for a meeting.

Soon, the three of them held a meeting in a simple temporary command center.

"Based on the information given to me by the head of state in Berlin two days ago, we now know that while the Soviet army was defending, they also prepared their counterattack plan, code-named 'Operation Kutuzov'."

"That is to say, the Soviet Command decided that once our fortress operation campaign, that is, the Kursk offensive battle we are now pretending to launch; once the Soviet defensive positions are blocked, the Soviet army will use the left wing troops of the Western Front, cooperate with their Central Front and the Bryansk Front, to carry out a large-scale counterattack against the troops deployed in northern Kursk!"

"And they will also attack our 9th Army from the front, from the Western Front and the Bryansk Army from the north, and plan to wipe out us and the 2nd Armored Army!"

"So I plan to launch a large-scale local battle to attack the Soviet defensive position Olihovatka, as well as the two areas of Boniri, and finally have a large tank battle and air battle with the Soviet 13th Army here, and pretend to be defeated like a mountain to lure the enemy into depth. Finally, in the Orol landing ground where we have established a flexible defensive position, we will severely damage or eat the Soviet 13th Army!"

"At least, the opponent's 81st Division, 307th Division, 129th Tank Brigade, 1442nd Self-propelled Artillery Regiment, and 13th Anti-Tank Brigade, and it is best to wipe out their 3rd Tank Brigade together!"

At the beginning of the meeting, Model immediately proposed his opinions and strategies.

"But is the information on this 'Operation Kutuzov' accurate?"

As soon as he finished speaking, General von Kenobesf, the commander of the 48th Armored Army, immediately asked.

"This is the information the Head of State personally told me, so I chose to believe it! Otherwise, the Head of State would not call Marshal Manstein and General Hoss to dispatch you to me as a surprise soldier for counterattack! And have you not seen the Head of State dispatched 500 new tanks to secretly train and fight for you?"

Model looked back at the other party with a firm look and retorted in a sure tone.

"Okay! Then I have no problem! Follow the command of the General in all combat operations!"

Upon hearing this, General von Kenobesf no longer made any suggestions.

"What about you! Does Chief of Staff Everfert have any good proposals, or questions to ask?"

Seeing this, Model nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the Chief of Staff Everfert and asked.

"I just want to know how we can more perfectly attract the Soviet troops you just mentioned to our Orel landing field defensive positions and ambush positions to annihilate them!"

Chief of Staff Everfert frowned deeply and expressed his doubts.

"This problem is not easy to solve! It depends on our acting talent and the degree of confidentiality of the information!"

Model also frowned and said with a smile.

"It's true! But even if we can win this local annihilation battle, many soldiers will be killed and injured; a lot of weapons and equipment have been lost, especially our tank group and tank players!"

Chief of Staff Everfert suddenly felt it and sighed.

"Well! You're right! But there is no free lunch in the world, so you can sacrifice yourself to win a big victory! So I think whether we can attract the Soviet army to attack us according to their "Tuzov Action" this time depends on our defeat in front of them, especially the tank war and air combat performance!"

Model also sighed softly and said seriously.

"I think so too, so when the Air Force arrives, we will fight according to the original plan to lure the enemy!"

Chief of Staff Everfelt agreed after a moment of silence.

"But if the Soviet army knows our combat plan and launches a comprehensive and large-scale counterattack against us in advance by combining their Central Front, Bryansk Front, and the Western Front with their 13th Army, their left-wing 70th Army, and the right-wing 48th Army, then aren't we in danger?"

Before Moder could speak, Chief of Staff Everfert recalled and said worriedly.

"Aren't the 2nd Armored Army still carrying out reserve defense near us?"

Model replied immediately without thinking.

"But the commander of the 2nd Armored Army is General Rudolph Schmidt! And his relationship with us is very average. I am worried that if something happens to us, they will send troops to support us; and even if they are willing to send troops to support us, we will still have to face the Soviet army with twice the number of people than us!"

Chief of Staff Everfert continued to raise the puzzle with concern.

"When we fight against the enemy, we can resist and continue to fight; if we can't win, we evacuate immediately. If we don't retreat, this is the order of the head of state! We don't have to defend ourselves as hard as before, or try our best to occupy a certain place or a certain city, so you don't have to worry so much about what will happen if we fight the enemy!"

After hearing this, Model not only did not have any worries, but instead smiled knowingly.

"Okay! The head of state actually said this, then I have no objection!"

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Everfert was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily.

At this moment, Chief Operations Staff Officer John Herz hurriedly walked in and quickly came to Model and saluted a military salute.

"Well! I'm leaving so urgent, what happened?"

Seeing this, Model hurriedly asked.

"The Head of State just sent a telegram from Sicily, Italy!"

Chief Operations Staff Officer John said happily.

"What did he say? Why are you so happy?"

Seeing the other party's happy smile, Model's heart, which had just become nervous, quickly relaxed and said with a smile.

"General Rudolf Schmidt, the 2nd Armored Army, was arrested by Sylem's SS for treason! The head of state also issued a new order to let General Model, you will serve as the new commander of the 2nd Armored Army, and take office immediately! And as soon as possible, we can get along with all the officers of the 2nd Armored Army, and deploy the defensive positions on the Orol landing ground and the counterattack forces to prepare for the "Operation Kutuzov" that the Soviet army may launch at any time."

Chief Operations Staff Officer John replied happily.
