Chapter 67: The Liberation of Stavanger I
"I left Stavanger on April 13, and when I left, there were at least five battalions of the French ** team in the Stavanger area, and there were two tank units, one of which was equipped with a Renault FT-17 tank model, and the other tank unit had a tank model that no one knew, and this is what it looked like." Second Lieutenant Wolf said as he handed a few blank pieces of paper to Chen Dao.
There were six blank sheets of paper, and the first three sheets of white paper were marked with the words "FT-17" in the upper right corner, and Chen Dao did not look at the first three sheets of paper and handed them over to Lieutenant Colonel Kepler, while he carefully identified the three tanks marked with the letter "X".
The three pieces of paper were drawn on the front, side and back of the unknown model of the tank, and after carefully identifying it for a few minutes, Chen Dao became more and more familiar the more he looked at it, and finally found the model of this tank in his dusty memory for a long time.
"H-35, this is the French H-35 tank." Chen Dao pointed to the white paper and said, "Although I don't know his specific parameters, I can guarantee that our 37mm anti-aircraft gun can penetrate him." ”
Lieutenant Colonel Kepler couldn't help but be in awe, and said in his heart that this Colonel Rosen, who was nearly 20 years younger than himself, really had some strength, no wonder he could be in a high position at a young age, and he didn't recognize the H-35 tank, not only did he not recognize it, but he had never even heard of it.
Chen Dao saw that Ensign Wolf wanted to return the three blank pieces of paper in his hand, and remarked the word H-35 in the upper right corner of the white paper, and said with a secret smile in his heart, fortunately, he still had an impression of the low-level cars of the French system in the game "Cannon World", which could just be used to create his own high-level image.
"How many of them are there?" Major Kepler asked a crucial question.
"The number of tanks of both types does not exceed 20, and the total number does not exceed 40." Ensign Wolf said.
"Do they have warships in their harbor?" Colonel Eisen asked.
"Not in the harbor, but in the open sea I can't be sure." Wolf said.
"My troops were defeated by the French naval guns in the first place, and the power of those large-caliber naval guns is so terrible that they cannot be countered by courage at all." Colonel Eisen said with trepidation.
A Norwegian lieutenant burst into the war room and handed a telegram to Colonel Eisen.
After reading the telegram, Colonel Eisen said: "The French occupied the two towns of Clap and Clapyan, with a total strength of about three battalions, and no tanks were found. ”
Colonel Eisen pointed to the two towns on the map and said, "You see, these two towns are about twenty kilometers south of Stavanger, and they are here."
Colonel Eisen's finger moved to the upper right, "Saunders City, they block all roads to Stavanger." ”
"How many enemies are there in Saunders City?" Chen Dao asked.
"At least two battalions." Colonel Eisen said.
"Second Lieutenant Wolf said that when he left Stavanger, the enemy had five battalions, and now in the three towns outside Stavanger, the enemy has five battalions, indicating that the enemy has increased his forces in Stavanger." Chen Dao said.
"I still have comrades lurking in the city of Stavanger, and I've been in contact with them by radio, and I think there will be news soon." Ensign Wolf said.
"Colonel Eisen, how many troops can you give us?" Chen Dao asked.
"Two infantry battalions and a bicycle reconnaissance company, as well as 14 75mm field guns." Colonel Eisen said.
"With the addition of our four battalions, we have a total of six battalions, and I think we should fight a battle and retake the town of Clay or Klaipyan?" Chen Dao said.
"The enemy's new strength is unknown, and I think we should build a defensive line at Bruna, south of Clap, and wait until the whole division is ready to attack." Lieutenant Colonel Kepler said.
Chen Dao's gaze turned back and forth a few times at several points on the map, and then said, "I agree with you. You reinforce the third battalion of Major Wagler to me, and I will go to the town of Brüna to set up first, what do you think? ”
Lieutenant Colonel Kepler nodded in agreement, and after consulting Colonel Eisen, the three of them agreed, and Chen Dao immediately led his troops to march towards the town of Brüna.
The town of Bruna is located 30 km northwest of Egglesund and 5 km southeast of the town of Clayp. Chen Dao's unit was fully armoured and Major Wagler's unit was fully motorized, and it took less than two hours for the two units to arrive in the town of Brüne and join up with a bicycle reconnaissance company stationed there.
Chen Dao deliberately took Ensign Wolf with him when he left, and after interrogating all the way, Chen Dao finally learned the details of Brandenburg's troops.
The Brandenburg Force, officially known as the 800th Squadron for Special Mission Training and Construction, was headquartered in the old city of Prussia, Brandenburg, and this organization was also known as the Brandenburg Force.
The founding of the Brandenburg Army dates back to General Paul von Retoven-Wolbeck in World War I, who was the commander of the German East African colonies during World War I.
General Wallbeck's strength was at its best 14,000, compared to 160,000 of his enemies. His small forces were apparently outnumbered, and in this situation, Letovobaker successfully used guerrilla tactics and special tactics to trap a large number of British troops that could have been used in the European theater.
This experience had a profound effect on one of his junior officers, Theodore. Feng. Captain Shipple. After the First World War, he was assigned to the Second Division of the German Spy Bureau, and it was he who created what would become the Brandenburg Army.
Not only did Shipper learn from his superiors, but he also had a special yearning for the heroic deeds of war, and he drew on the successful examples of irregular warfare in other countries, and he was convinced that irregular warfare could make a huge difference.
His idea was to form a small detachment of a small number of good men to clear the way for the regular troops. Before attacking or even before a formal declaration of war, these detachments can go deep behind enemy lines and occupy bridges, road passes, and major communications facilities; They can also spread disinformation, blow up supply warehouses, attack enemy headquarters, and in general, cause great chaos with a very small number of people.
Although Ensign Wolf strictly abides by the rules of secrecy, he only selectively says something that can be made public, but Chen Dao still hears the connotation contained in it.
That night, Chen Dao blamed himself in his bandit diary:
The bandit forgot the camouflage uniform, which can also be explained by the fact that the nobles are forgetful, but even the super artifact of the special forces can be forgotten, which is definitely a manifestation of the insufficient balance of the IQ card. After the end of the French campaign, Ben Bandit must recharge as soon as possible and make up for IQ, and must not make such a low-level mistake again.
On the night of 15 April, Lieutenant General Paul Hausser, commander of the SS Special Mobile Division, and the German Motorized Rifle Regiment arrived in Eggelsund.
At 10:20 a.m. on 16 April, Lieutenant General Paul Hausser and Lieutenant Colonel Kepler arrived in the town of Brune with the rest of the Führer's regiment, but they did not see the powerful weapons that Kepler had claimed.
Hausser not only did not see those powerful weapons, but also Chen Dao and Major Wagler.
Captain Bach, who had been specially left behind by Chen Dao, walked up to Hausser and said respectfully: "General Hausser, Colonel Rosen has ordered me to invite you to the town of Clayp, where he wishes to have lunch with you. ”
"You took the town of Clayp?" Hausser asked in surprise.
"Not only the town of Klaip, but the town of Klaipyan should also return to the arms of the Norwegian people at this time." Captain Bach said proudly.
