Bab 1337: Chapter 967: Counterattack!

Regardless of whether Manstein and the German High Command were willing to believe it, the cruel reality was now laid out before everyone's eyes.

The failure of Manstein's Second Panzer Army caused the total collapse of the Army Group in the southern part of Germany.

There was no helping it, after all, this armored group was originally transferred from the main battlefront, and the loss of firepower at the front was bound to be exploited by the Russians.

Furthermore, the retreat route of the Second Panzer Army coincided highly with the rear of the German forces at the front. If the German forces at the front remained at the Stalingrad battlefield, then it was very likely that their rear would be cut off, followed by a Russian encirclement from behind.
