Rommel was also right to give Rundstedt a step down...... In the ensuing operation, Rundstedt was very cooperative, and even had a faint sense of dominance.

However, Rundstedt was the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, and the dominant power should have been in his hands, but because of a series of previous misjudgments, and the whole thing was reversed by Rommel and Qin Chuan, whom he despised and reversed it, so that Rundstedt was embarrassed to claim to be the supreme commander anymore.

In general, the plan of action is to "treat others as they would have been treated".

The first is the "pre-war emergency control" like the United Kingdom, that is, all civilian vehicles except military vehicles are prohibited from the road.

This was mainly to make it more difficult for British spies to gather intelligence.

Of course, the effect of this in France would be much worse, mainly because there were many French people who volunteered to act as British spies to provide intelligence to the Allies, and all they needed was a radio station, which could not be prevented.

The downside is ...... Rommel could no longer travel around in a French civilian vehicle as before.

"You confiscated my 'super car'!" Rommel joked.

Because it was a civilian vehicle that the Allies would not attack, Rommel called it a "super car".

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied: "You should be glad about this, one day if this 'super car' attracts the attention of spies, or they recognize it as your 'special car', then the Allied pilots will send it to the sky!" ”

"That's right!" Rommel nodded and scolded: "These hateful Englishmen, they have made us a little soldier!" ”

"If it weren't for the lieutenant colonel...... Colonel Schuster looked at Qin Chuan with admiration: "We may never find out about these conspiracy they have set up, God, they forged two army groups and played us around!" ”

"So!" Colonel Slane said: "What's more terrifying is not the British Intelligence Service, but our 'legendary sergeant', isn't it?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The second is the movement of troops.

Two armored divisions were transferred to the Brittany Peninsula and camouflaged...... They march at night and lurk during the day, just like they do in the desert, digging a pit in the ground and driving tanks in, draped in canvas or even covered with soil or vegetation camouflage, which is difficult to spot even if you walk in front of you, let alone the pilots of the fighter planes in the sky.

Of course, the base of the Panzer Division in the direction of Calais was still in normal use, the noise of tank engines and the sound of soldiers training were heard from time to time, and radio contact was carried out as usual...... This set was learned from the British, except that the British disguised one army group, while the Germans disguised only two panzer divisions.

The difficulty for the Germans was that they had to fool not only the British intelligence service, but also the Führer and other neighboring German units.

But then Hitler's orders came into great help...... To the concerns of the neighboring troops, Rundstedt replied: "You don't need to know information that is not relevant to your mission!" ”

As for Hitler, it was better to settle. All communications are done, received and sent by fake bases.

But in reality, the messages were received and sent by an empty headquarters, and they were all made up of intelligence agents sent by Rundstedt...... They deceived the Führer and at the same time deceived the British intelligence services.

"Of course I won't just send these armored units up to attack the enemy!" "That would only expose the armored units to the fire of enemy guns and warplanes," Rommel said. ”

This point is also what Qin Chuan is worried about, and Rundstedt and even Guderian are resolutely opposed to this.

But now, of course, Rundstedt is not in a position to make any objections.

"I'll try to use armored units at night!" Rommel explained: "If you have the opportunity to attack, try to get as close as possible to the enemy, so that their naval guns have some scruples!" ”

The tactics are correct, just like the "personal tactics" of the Volunteer Army against the US military, the difference is that Rommel sticks up tanks.

But that's not enough.

"In this way, we have three armored divisions and seven infantry divisions around the Brittany Peninsula!" Rommel pointed to the map and said, "There are eight other coastal defense divisions, a total of eighteen divisions. It is estimated that the enemy's strength to land on this line is also about 100,000. Although the Allies have air and sea supremacy, we have strong fortifications and occupy advantageous positions, so it can be said that each has its own advantages. ”

"But ......," Rommel then changed his tone and said, "they still have an unknown number of airborne troops." As we said before, these airborne troops will be parachuted behind our lines and will work in tandem with the French partisans, and they will even direct their fighters to carry out precision bombing...... As a result, our troops along the coast are almost in the encirclement of the enemy! ”

Rommel's fears were justified, and the focus was often not on the Airborne Forces themselves, but on the formation of a force by the Allied Airborne Forces with the French partisans, and then a vigorous anti-German wave throughout the country...... It would not be long before the whole of France would become an enemy of Germany, in which the German army would be unable to move an inch and be constrained at every turn.

"The most effective against the Airborne Forces is mechanized troops!" Colonel Slain replied without thinking: "We can place a few mechanized infantry divisions in the rear!" ”

There was nothing wrong with Colonel Slein's idea, which had already been proven when he was in the Baku oil fields...... The Soviet Airborne Forces were annihilated in batches before the German mechanized troops.

"But that's when we have air supremacy!" Rommel objected: "The Allies, unlike the Soviets, will obviously use their air supremacy. I think they're going to be airborne before dawn in the early hours of the morning, so that they'll have air cover shortly after the airborne. And our mechanized troops, under the blow of their air power, will suffer heavy casualties or even collapse, not to mention the airborne forces that kill and wound them! ”

After a pause, Rommel continued: "On the other hand, in order to prevent the Allied troops from airborne, I have set up many artificial lakes, and I will release water to cause them trouble. But these will also cause problems for our own mechanized troops! ”

This is obvious, mechanized troops are extremely dependent on roads, and if any section of the road is flooded or bombed, the mechanized troops become infantry.

"Why don't we stop the guerrillas?" Qin Chuan asked.

"We've tried, many times!" Rundstedt replied: "But you can't tell which are partisans and which are not, or which French will become partisans!" ”

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!" Qin Chuan said: "You haven't tried to lure them out at all!" ”

"Draw it out?"
