Three months later, the agreed time came for Lieutenant General Lyon and Strauss.

Three months ago, Leon cheekily taught his buddy Manstein the strategy of stepping and tanning proposed by Guderian in his previous life, and the unwitting Manstein learned this tactic and enshrined Leon as a celestial, and unconsciously admired Leon more and more.

For the past three months, Manstein has been training this tactic intensively, and his requirements for the other 19 commanders are not only mastery, but also flexible according to the battlefield situation.

There is no doubt that these 19 tank commanders may not be the best commanders in Germany, but each of them will become the best armored commanders in the future.

On the outskirts of Berlin, Lyon and Lieutenant General Strauss sat side by side in the headquarters of the exercise, the second exercise in which Lyon had come to the world, but this exercise Lyon gambled on his future.

"Do you still think you're going to win? Now regret that you still have a way out. Lieutenant General Strauss said slowly.

"General, I believe I can win." Leon replied firmly.

"Why? Just this Manstein? The British had invested more tanks in a battle than you in the last war, but they couldn't tear through the lines built by troops 10 times their strength. ”

"I believe him, because his name is Manstein!" Lieutenant General Strauss had to take it seriously, believing that Lyon was a smart man, and that a smart man would never put all his bets on a hand he was not sure of.

When a smart person puts his life on a card, there is only one possibility, and that is that the card is king!

At the same time, at the exercise site, Manstein and the other commanders checked the vehicles for one last time, and then called all the commanders and the three infantry platoon commanders who followed the tank attack to his side, unfolded the map of the theater of operations and began to lay out the tasks: "The general situation of this exercise has been introduced to you in the morning, and now I will introduce it in detail, we are facing two infantry battalions spread out on a plain 4 kilometers wide. Our aim is to break head-on in the shortest possible time through a line of defenses that outnumber our forces. Then he paused and continued, "Maybe according to past experience, this is almost impossible, but Major Andrés has finally won such an opportunity for the development of armored forces, and we must seize it!" Now according to the previous arrangement, six infantrymen followed a tank, and we set off! ”

On the defensive line, a private really complained to his old squad leader: "Squad leader, do you say that the people in the war department have a problem with their brains?" Having 20 tanks and 3 platoons of infantry challenge our two entire infantry battalions is pointless than leaving us frozen on the ground. ”

"Quiet! The commander-in-chief of the attacking side was Major Andrés, who had defeated an entire infantry regiment with a company last time! The old squad leader frowned and reprimanded. The soldier pursed his lips and muttered, "Last time he was a sneak attack, but this time it won't work, they have to break through head-on." ”

"Hey, everyone, attention! The position of the third company was attacked, and it was said that all the forces on the opposite side were in the direction of the third company, and the commander ordered us to assemble in the direction of the third company at once! One of the lieutenants stood up and shouted at his troops.

"Oh, hell! We still have to run so far to support them, anyway, there are only three platoons, and there are more people than them, not to mention that we are still on the defensive. "Hey, hurry up and run, I must teach those people a lesson today, it's all because of them, we came here to participate in this exercise!" Along the way, there were soldiers who kept complaining.

At this time, on the position of the third company, the company commander was yelling angrily at his adjutant: "What? The second platoon position was broken through? What about the death squads I let them organize? Tanks are stupid and inflexible, and last time we arranged for people to climb up to their tanks and throw bombs into them? What the? They tanks followed by a whole bunch of infantry? Damn it! Who came up with this idea? Order the three platoons and four platoons behind to organize more troops to rush up, I don't believe that these Iron Kings will not be able to be dismantled! After thinking about it, he added: "Ask the troops on the side how long it will take to come over." ”

However, he should not be able to wait for reinforcements, because the commander of the defending side is very experienced, and as soon as he saw that there was a hole in the defense line of the third company, he directly ordered the troops who came behind to change their destination and go to the rear of the third company to rebuild the defense line, and the poor third company had been abandoned.

Manstein sat on his armored car, commanding the remaining 18 tanks to frantically storm the already crumbling defense line of the third company, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated, and so far, he had only lost one tank, which made him more confident in the battle behind. Major Andrés was such a remarkable man, Manstein thought to himself.

Fifteen minutes later, Manstein saw the commander of the third company, who had been judged "killed".

"Mr. Captain, what a bunch of hooligans your troops are!" The company commander complained to Manstein. "Oh, I'm glad you said that about my troops, but you were defeated by a bunch of hooligans." Manstein shot back.

"Man, it's not a problem for you to defeat me, you see, there are close to two battalions of troops behind me rushing here." The company commander said with a sneer, although he had just learned the power of Manstein's inbutan synergy.

"Really? You don't think I can win this battle? ”

"No doubt you can!"

"Hehe, then let's see, you have to be glad that this is not a real battlefield, otherwise you are just a corpse now." Manstein unceremoniously hit the company commander, obviously his mouth was as powerful as his tank troops, and the company commander had already been said that there was no room for refutation, after all, he had lost.

Manstein no longer struggled with the company commander, and as he walked, he gave the order to his troops: "Everyone go on the offensive!" ”

On the other side, the soldier who talked a lot was still pestering his squad leader: "Squad leader, the defense line of the three companies in front has been breached, do you think they are really so powerful?" Do you think we can stop them? ”

The old squad leader was very helpless about the soldiers who had so many words under him: "Oh, please be quiet for a while, the number of people in the third company is not much more than them, can you see how many people we have here now?" 1000 people! How can they break through us? ”

The soldier who had been talking was quiet at this time, and looked into the distance behind the old squad leader with his mouth wide open, where thick smoke was billowing out, as if thousands of troops were charging.

"It's coming!" After the old squad leader finished the last sentence, he pulled the soldiers who stayed where they were and jumped into the trench.

In the distance, Manstein is leading his troops with a thousand pounds, this is a heavy blow to the old tactical thinking of the new way of warfare!
