Chapter 124: Rommel's Visit, Guderian's Worries

And when Chen Yanlong and Dönitz were separated, Chen Yanlong told them that they must remember that the Japanese army was an out-and-out white-eyed wolf, and they couldn't believe it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It can only be used as artillery fire to block the advance of the American army, otherwise it will be bitten back by this ambitious and crazy and cruel guy, and it will be hit hard.

As for the virtue of the Japanese army, Chen Yanlong, who came from later generations, is the clearest.

He knew very well that the Japanese army not only invaded China during World War II, but also carried out massacres and massacres in Southeast Asia.

Moreover, after the war, they also rose very quickly to become economic powers, and in the third industrial revolution, they became leaders in many important scientific and technological fields.

But what made Chen Yanlong most angry was of course not the re-emergence of the Japanese army, but the attention that they continued to fight the Huaxia State after their rise, and wanted to carry out new aggression through economic and border harassment.

That's why Chen Yanlong took the trouble to instill the Japanese army in Dönitz and them, and he was a character who couldn't be trusted and bullied; They must be careful to deal with and utilize.

Of course, in addition to these additions, Chen Yanlong also told the two of them that the aircraft carrier is just a tool for maritime warfare, and all its power comes from the type and performance of the carrier-based aircraft it carries, and if it loses the assistance of carrier-based aircraft with powerful performance, then the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier is not even comparable to that of a destroyer. Or it can be said that an aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft is just a scrap ship.

At the same time, Chen Yankong also asked them to pay attention to the fact that when they learned from the Japanese aircraft carrier commanders about aircraft carrier command techniques and carrier-based aircraft training skills, they could only absorb their advantages, and absolutely could not absorb their shortcomings.

For example, the special attack proposed by Jizaburo Ozawa, the fighter attack of over-range assault and shuttle bombing, is okay if it is faced with a weak army, but if it is faced with the powerful carrier-based aircraft force of the US military and the aircraft carrier group with anti-aircraft fire of VT radio proximity fuse shells, it is a dead end.

In addition, the Japanese side reduced the training time of pilots from 1943 onwards, and hastily sent those soldiers of the air force who had only completed the basic subjects of take-off and landing, formation, and bomb dropping to the front line to fight.

Even in order to make up for the shortcomings of the pilot's lack of experience, the Japanese army even had the whimsical idea of letting all the recruits of the air force watch air combat documentaries for special training; But in the end, a large number of aviation soldiers whose flying skills were not up to par were sent to the road of death without return.

In short, Chen Yanlong wanted that Dönitz and Marshal Hitthofen absolutely not use the combat method of sacrificing the lives of the air force to preserve the aircraft carrier.

If all the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft are lost, then what is the use of the remaining aircraft carriers that have no power to fight back.

The aircraft carrier is only a bow, and the carrier-based aircraft is the sharp arrow that shoots the enemy, and the two are indispensable and can only complement each other.

In the face of Chen Yanlong's long-winded and long admonition, Dönitz and Field Marshal Hitthofen also listened and responded very seriously.

In the face of such cooperation between the two of them and being taught, Chen Yanlong was also very satisfied and happy.

So he added at the end that Dönitz must remember that modern warfare is no longer the Middle Ages, or the dynastic war of World War I.

Rather, it is transformed into an overall war of comprehensive national strength, which means that the stronger a country's ability to compete in comprehensive indicators of economic, political, military, and cultural, scientific, technological, educational, human resources, natural resources, etc., the more powerful that country will be.

In other words, it is not only a competition to see who has a strong industrial economy as the backing, but also a competition of all other combined strengths in order to truly become a strong country.

Even the United States has to rely on its huge economic, cultural, scientific, technological, aerospace, navigational, and military technical strength. Only then will it be able to become the world's largest economic power, the world's largest military power, and other superpowers.

When Chen Yanlong had finished talking about all the additional topics he wanted to say, Dönitz and Marshal Richthofen really parted ways with him.

Not long after, Chen Yanlong was on his Arado Ar232 transport plane, and again escorted by a large group of Fω-190A-6/R1 fighters, headed for Sicily, to prepare to visit the Waffen-SS troops who had already reached Sicily.

At this time, Guderian was ambitious and happily in his study, studying the battle plan of Sicily.

Because he had officially received Chen Yanlong last night to be the commander-in-chief of the Sicilian campaign, and the troops under his command this time not only had Herman? The Göring Paratrooper Panzer Division, the 5th Panzer Division and other units, but also the 5th "Viking" Panzer Division of the Waffen-SS and the 1st SS "Adolf. Hitler's Guard Banner Corps "Panzer Divisions and other units."

For the ability to command these powerful troops with excellent weapons and soldiers at one time, Guderian could not have dreamed of it.

So as soon as he received Chen Yanlong's combat order and his inauguration appointment, he was happy and overjoyed.

For this reason, he was also excited that night with his son Heinz? Gaunt? Guderian, and his wife Margaret? Gerner had a happy and laughing meal together.

The next morning, however, he had been studying the maps of Sicily, as well as the charts and maps of Italy and the Mediterranean.

Because he has decided to give full play to all his talents in this new appointment, he will once again win dazzling and enviable brilliant records, and his career as an officer will go further.

But while he had been studying from morning to evening, Rommel's sudden visit had muddied his excitement and excitement.

"Hmmm! Why did Rommel suddenly come to see me? ”

Is this Guderian hearing his wife Margaret? Gerner, the first thing he said when he came into his study.

"Didn't you know when you saw him? Anyway, he just said to me that he wanted to talk to you about the situation in Italy on the Western Front! ”

His wife Margaret? Gerner replied with a slight smile.

"Hmmm! All right! I'll go out and meet him! Anyway, I haven't seen him for a long time, and the last time he tried to replace me in front of the Führer, I owe him a favor! ”

Guderian recalled what Rommel had done to recommend him for an official position when he was deposed by Hitler, who was losing ground in Africa and whose health was getting worse and worse.

"Then I'll go get you some drinks and food! How can he say that he is now a marshal who has been reinstated, if he doesn't entertain him well, he won't be able to go! ”

Margaret? Gerner also continued to smile.

"Hmmm! Thank you! Margaret! But I don't know why, I always feel that he came here for some other purpose to talk to me about this time! ”

Guderian was grateful, but worried.
