Chapter 212: The Northern Front Begins the War

"Drag your blessing, I've chased it, Führer!" Ansel replied loudly, "She agreed to have a drink with me when the award was over!" ”

"Just a drink? Then you're really slow, not at all as fast as a fighter jet. Leon listened to Ansel's words and said jokingly.

The joke engulfed the audience into laughter.

"I ...... I'll work hard for the Führer! Ansel listened to Leon's words, blushed, and said nervously, "I'll use the speed of a fighter jet to get her to bed!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Listening to Ansel's nervous words, the people in the audience laughed even louder.

"I believe in you, Ansel! I'm sure you'll be able to get her laid in no time. Leon laughed a few times, but as the Führer, he controlled his emotions and walked towards the next soldier.

The award session was soon over, and after a few more minutes of applause, everyone continued to disperse, enjoying the wine while "trading".

The wonderful evening passed quickly, and the next morning, after the ceremony, the officers and men hurried back to the ship, and with the High Seas Fleet set sail for the North Sea again, this time not to confront the British navy, but to support the German soldiers in the Norwegian conquest.

Yes, the Germans did not slack off because of a victory over the Royal Navy, but launched an attack on Norway and Denmark as fast as Churchill thought.

The attack on Denmark was carried out by the 12th Army under the German Army Group E, with a total of 144,000 men, most of whom were light infantry and only one armored division.

At first glance, it seems that it is really difficult for a strong man to invade a country with a land area of 43,094 square kilometers and a population of more than 5 million.

But in fact, compared with Denmark's military strength of less than 10,000 people, you will find that the German army is really killing chickens with knives.

Yes, Denmark did not think of resisting in the face of the German invasion, and even the Danish king did not think about running away, after he ordered his only 10,000 armed forces not to shoot, he obediently stayed in the palace and waited for the Germans to come to his door and put him under house arrest.

Lyon ordered that all German troops entering Denmark should not disturb the normal life of the Danish people, and the Danish king, who was under house arrest, was also offered good food and drink, except that his actions had to be under German supervision, and other places were even better than before he was placed under house arrest.

Later, according to the Danish royal governor, the Danish king gained more than ten pounds during his house arrest because the food provided by Germany was too good.

Not only did the Danish official treat the German invasion as if nothing happened, but the Danish people also didn't care about the German troops who swaggered into Denmark, and even because of Lyon's order not to disrupt the normal order, the Danish people had a good impression of the German soldiers, and there were often soldiers who were attacked by the Danish people while walking, but the Danish people used to attack the German soldiers were not broadswords and spears, let alone bullets and shells, but bags of bread and bottles of milk, which made the German soldiers very confused.

In addition, because the military uniforms worn by the German army were designed by the most famous German designers, they were very handsome, which made many Danish girls look like peach blossoms, and even Danish girls cried and shouted to promise the German soldiers, forcing the German soldiers to raise their guns to protect themselves.

Not only Danish girls were interested in handsome German uniforms, but Danish young people were also envious, and they asked to join the German army, and this wave of joining the army even overshadowed the Danish army when it recruited soldiers.

Although Denmark was generally "welcoming" to the German invasion, resistance was still there.

For example, when the German troops landed on Jutland in Denmark, they were resisted by bicycle and motorcycle companies stationed on the island, and killed and wounded a whopping 20 people.

In general, the German army created another miracle in military history, they defeated Denmark in four hours, only paying more than 50 casualties, if you add the Danish people who actively participated in the German army, this battle is fought, the number of German troops changed positively......

Perhaps it is more reliable to say that Denmark has created a joke in military history than to say that the German army has created a miracle.

Compared with the strange Denmark, Norway, which is located to the north of them, is much tougher.

In order to deal with Norway as quickly as possible, the Germans landed most of their forces in the Norwegian capital and important port city of Oslo, while a small number of landing troops and most of the airborne troops raided Kristiansand, Stavanger, Trondheim and Narvik, attracting the firepower of the Norwegian army to make them take care of the safety of the capital.

In this way, under the three-dimensional attack of the German army, the attack point blocking, and the support of the pro-German Kiessling elements in Norway, the German army occupied Oslo, the capital of Norway, in only half a day.

However, the Norwegian government did not surrender after the fall of the capital Oslo, as Germany had expected, but moved inland, while continuing to command the Norwegian army and a small number of Polish troops to continue to block the German landing force in the south, while appealing to Britain and France and other allies for help.

It is a pity that Britain and France and other allies have already made up their minds to abandon Norway, so they continue to encourage Norway to resist the war and comfort them that the support troops will soon arrive, while watching the drama on the sidelines, and continue to expand and strengthen the troops deployed on the German-French border to ensure the absolute security of France, Belgium and other countries on the western front.

As for Norway's attitude, the Germans had long been prepared for both, and stubborn resistance was only a little delay.

After determining that Norway was prepared to resist to the end, the German High Command ordered the troops in Denmark to immediately cross the Skagerrak Strait and board the German landing ground to support the German landing and airborne troops in southern Norway, while the German 6th Army, which had previously arrived on the Finnish-Norwegian border, immediately crossed the border and attacked from north to south towards central Norway.

In addition, the German High Command also coordinated with the Finnish side, asking them to send their armored forces to take Norway together with the German army.

The Finnish side immediately acceded to Germany's request and sent its three most elite panzer divisions to cooperate with the German 6th Army.

The tanks equipped by these three armored divisions are all produced by the tank production line aided by Germany to Finland, and belong to the German No. 3 tank series, and it can be said that these three armored divisions are the only treasures in Finland's hands.

However, the reason why they were willing to take out their treasures to cooperate with the German army was not because the friendship between the German-Finnish armies was deeper than the sea, but because the Soviet army frequently showed its muscles on the Soviet-Finnish border, which made Finland very afraid, so they had to take out their treasures to fight side by side with the German army, pretending that the German-Finnish relationship was excellent, so that the Soviet Union could weigh the consequences of angering the German army before attacking them.
