Chapter 259: Isn't Your Request Too Much?
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
At the same time that the British military mission entered the Yugoslav partisans in Ketto and the high command of the KPA, German planes were also bombing in eastern Bosnia. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the bombardment of incendiary bombs and bombshells, many towns in East Bosnia were bombed beyond recognition, and the flames and black smoke billowed into the sky.
The tongues of fire raging in the streets and alleys were like a sea of fire, rapidly engulfing all the buildings and people they encountered.
With the appearance of one after another bomb-bombed and flaming streets, for a time even the air was full of jumping sparks, and those who were engulfed in the sea of fire were charred into gray carbon, which was terrifying.
Although there are also many people who are desperately trying to put out the fire with sand and water.
But under the ferocious bombardment of German aviation, no matter how they put out the fire, it was useless.
And they also put their lives into it, and they were bombed by the German bombers, and the death was very horrific.
The bombing continued until it rained, and when it began to rain heavily, the German air force began to withdraw.
In the bombed town, which was about to be reduced to rubble, there were bombed cars, burning tanks, and cannons that had been blown up into piles of scrap metal, as well as Red Cross ambulances and trucks that had been blown up, and several armored vehicles.
In addition, ammunition, food, firearms, and knives can be found in the streets and alleys; and the corpses of the guerrillas, as well as the civilian population, the corpses were strewn all over the field, and the blood flowed like rivers, which was terrible to see......
"Hitler, you murderer, you devil!"
Looking at such a terrible situation in front of him, Tie Tuo's muscles were exposed, his eyes were wide with anger, and he roared angrily.
In the end, he fired more than a dozen shots into the gray sky in a rage.
It's just that because the rain is getting heavier and heavier, the gunfire fired by Tietuo did not make much gunfire.
As for the guerrillas and the KPA behind him, even the civilians who had not yet been killed or burned to death, they were gnashing their teeth; With his face full of hatred clenched into his fists, he stood in the rain, staring at the German planes that were getting farther and farther away.
At this moment, the seeds of hatred are raging even more frantically in their hearts.
An hour later, he negotiated cooperation with the British military mission.
"The atrocities of the German army, and where we are now! I'm sure you've all seen it! Therefore, my People's Army and the guerrillas are in great need of your country's support! ”
As soon as the cooperation meeting began, Tie Tuo stared at William with a sharp gaze like an eagle? Major Andert and William? Captain Rogin said straight to the point.
"We can support you! But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to get our support, then let us know if our investment has paid off! Because I'm also in the middle of a war with the Germans, and there's those damn Japanese troops on the other side of the Pacific, tossing and turning! ”
"In other words, we are also relatively short of troops and resources now! So if you don't have much potential, I'm afraid we can only provide you with some military supplies, medical supplies, and a small amount of money! As for the troops, then there is really nothing that can be done! ”
In the face of such a direct question, William? Major Andert could only smile wryly and respond openly.
Since his personality is also relatively gentle and honest, he did not engage in Tai Chi style with Tie Tuo, or soy sauce-style conversations, and nonsense.
"In that case, let's talk about your requirements! I also want to see what you need us to do and behave in order to make you feel that we have the potential to send troops to help in the war! ”
"But before this time, I believe you should also know that our Yugoslav partisans and the People's Army have held back more than 20 German divisions, and they are also the only guerrillas who can use guerrillas to confront German troops head-on in World War II."
Hearing this, the scheming Tie Tuo squinted his eyes and continued to get straight to the point.
"You're saying a great deal! But most of the more than 20 divisions you dragged were Italian troops, and Croatian, Bulgarian and other puppet armies, and there were only a few German divisions! ”
William? Major Andert said lightly.
"Then you can tell me what you want! Even if we don't have your British military aid, we will not despair and give up resisting the fascists! ”
Tie Tuo is determined and his eyes are sharp.
"Our request is very simple, that is, you are asked to find a way to hold off the German Army Group "F" (which has the jurisdiction of the 2nd Tank Army, the "Serbian" Army Group and some independent units), about 200,000 German troops and 400,000 puppet army troops. ”
William? Major Andert said with a smile.
Hearing this, Tie Tuo was silent, and his eyes were also squinted, staring at the other party not to be outdone, as if he wanted to see the other party through.
Because just William? Major Anandert's request for military assistance was exactly the same as Stalin's request for him.
Stalin once hinted that if Tieto could hold him back more than 20 German troops and 400,000 puppet troops, then he would send the Ukrainian Front, the Bulgarian 1st, 2nd, and 4th Armies to provide direct military assistance to the Yugoslav People's Liberation Army in its struggle against the German invaders, and to help Tieto's troops liberate the whole of Yugoslavia.
"Aren't you asking for too much?"
Tie Tuo was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly.
"Or may! However, according to our intelligence, if the war goes well, then by the end of this year your people's armed forces will have 300,000 people, and at least half of the country will be liberated, and as for the millions of inhabitants, you will be completely liberated! ”
"In other words, in fact, your combat strength is not weak at all, and the total strength you have on hand now will definitely not be less than 80,000 troops, and you now have at least 9 divisions, 3 brigades and many guerrillas!"
"And these troops are also distributed in central Yugoslavia, Western Bosnia, and in the vast liberated areas of Croatia."
William? Major Andert continued to smile unmoved.
"That being said, we were in the Battle of Sutjeska, and we suffered heavy casualties! More than 8,000 of us died heroically! ”
Tie Tuo shook his head and said sadly.
"With regard to your outstanding performance and heroism in the Battle of Sutjeska, our Allied Commander in the Mediterranean, Field Marshal Alexander, also expressed his admiration in a letter to you: "We congratulate you and wish you well at this critical moment in your struggle against the aggressor. Your recent achievements and major victories over Field Marshal Riele have also inspired our fighters. “”
"I'm sure you should remember his admiration for you, your guerrillas and the PLA troops! And as far as we know, after the breakout, the main forces of your PLA liberated several cities such as Sreb and Renica on the way to eastern Bosnia, and also captured a lot of weapons and equipment! ”
William? Major Andert continued to smile.
"That's it! Let's stop rambling nonsense! I agree to your request to hold back hundreds of thousands of German troops, but I ask you to use distant planes to airdrop a batch of weapons and equipment and military supplies to us in the next few days to fight against Germany! ”
"We've been fighting a bad war lately, and you've seen it with your own eyes! If we don't have good weapons and equipment and military supplies to support us, I'm afraid that the request you just made will just come up in a dream! There's no way to do it, and we're going to be on our own! ”
Tie Tuo suddenly made a final decision and said decisively.
"Alright! I understand! I'll call Churchill and Marshal Alexander right now and see what they think! ”
Seeing Tieto's impatient expression, William? Major Andert also immediately agreed, very interestingly.
"Good! I await your good news! Don't let us down! If we can get your military support and hold back hundreds of thousands of German troops, I am absolutely confident! ”
Looking at William, who stood up and was about to make a phone call as he spoke? Major Andert, Tieto was also a little nervous.
"Hmmm! I try my best! ”
William? Major Andert nodded.
Then he hurried to call Churchill and Alexander.
By this time, at the front line in Montenegro, Hausser and Heinrich had already arrived at their temporary headquarters.
