Chapter 853: Target: British 10th Army (Page 1/1)

"Then you two mean that the Führer is using a few of us as lures to attract and distract the enemy's attention and divert their combat deployment?"

After a long time, Rundstedt's face became gloomy, and his eyes were as sharp as eagles staring at the chief of staff, Günter Blumentrite, and General Vallimont.

"I don't know about this either! It depends on the Führer's true intentions! ”

"I can't keep up with the Führer's thinking!"

General Vallimont met the other man's gaze without fear, shrugged his shoulders and replied calmly.

"So what? Isn't it? ”

"Anyway, now the Führer is giving the supreme power to Kesselring and Rommel on the operational issue on the Western Front, and it has nothing to do with us at all!"

"Why are you so nervous!"

"And the purpose of our coming here today is not for these things, let's take a good look at how Kesselring commanded the Italian campaign! And also wait for the instructions of the Führer for the next step! ”

"Don't forget, we were called here by the Führer to stand by!"

When Kluge saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he suddenly smiled nonchalantly.

This was to ease the somewhat-for-tat eye contact between Rundstedt and General Vallimont, for he had not come here to see the two of them arguing.

"Humph! I don't like this corporal more and more! ”

In response to Klug's sudden interjection, Rundstedt snorted dissatisfiedly.

"What if you don't like it? Who called the person to be the Führer now? And an arbitrary and tyrannical ruler! ”

Klug looked at Rundstedt, who was in a very irritable mood, and smiled slightly.

In fact, not only was Rundstedt very unhappy that Chen Yanlong did not pay attention to himself and gave himself the power to command the army, but even Kluge was very unwilling to watch in obscurity as Kesselring, Rommel and Guderian, as well as later generals such as Moder and Manstein seized the command of the army that should have belonged to them from them.

"To me, he will always be just a corporal who does not understand military affairs and commands indiscriminately!"

Rundstedt retorted even more displeasedly.

"Hey! I see that you are getting more and more emboldened to scold Hitler so openly! ”

"Aren't you afraid that he will settle accounts with you? Rundstedt! ”

Klug stared at Rundstedt with meaningful eyes and smiled in a flat tone.

"Humph! My military power has been given to others by him, what am I afraid of now? ”

"Do you want to put me to death just because I speak ill of him behind his back? Or will he throw me into one of his dehumanized concentration camps? ”

Rundstedt snorted angrily.

Hearing this, this time Klug didn't speak, just shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.

As for the chief of staff, Günther Blumentrite and General Vallimont, when talking about Chen Yanlong, they pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if they had heard nothing and had seen nothing, and silently acted as transparent people.

At this moment, Kesselring had already read the battle report on the front line, the number of casualties between the enemy and us, the loss report of weapons and equipment, and the battle for the front.

For now, his goal was to inflict a temporary truce on the Mediterranean and Western Fronts on the Cassino and Gustav fronts, as well as in the Battle of Sicily, where the Anglo-American armies were inflicted.

"It seems that our Führer's goal now is not the conquest of Europe, or even the whole world!"

"Otherwise, he would never have been constantly using elastic defensive operations, and those ambush warfare that he often proposed!"

After Kesselring had read all the information to be seen, he had a hot cup of coffee poured him and muttered to himself with a slight frown as he drank it.

"But the biggest obstacle to accomplishing the task that the Führer has given me now is probably too passive waiting for the arrival of the British and American armies!"

"Although we have now ambushed some British and American troops, their fighting perseverance and determination seem to be different from the British and American troops we have encountered before!"

"At the very least, the fighting will and determination of the British and American allies are now stronger and more resolute than before!"

"If that's the case, then I'll find a way to get rid of the British 10th Army first!"

"That's a big goal!"

"Lieutenant General Richard McCcleary, commander of the British Army, what is the strength of this guy who studied at the Camberley Military Staff College and was also sent by Alexander to the Middle East as Chief of Staff of the Command?"

"I'm looking forward to it! It shouldn't be bad! ”

"If the command ability is too poor, then this battle to encircle and annihilate the British 10th Army is too easy to complete!"

A moment later, Kesselring showed a strong battle intent and continued to mutter.

With that, he took the cup of coffee that no longer bubbled out of the heat in one gulp.

After that, he immediately convened an urgent military meeting to discuss with his generals and staff officers the next operational deployment of the 10th Army to encircle and annihilate the British Army.
