Berlin, Germany, the Supreme Command of the German Army.

Lyon is holding the regular semi-monthly report meeting of the Supreme Command.

At this meeting, each army group will send representatives to explain the current situation of its own troops to the representatives of the other group armies present and to Lyon, so as to strengthen the ties between each unit of the German army and ensure that every action and every change of the enemy, as well as every demand and every situation of its own troops, can be understood by friendly troops at the first time, thus greatly improving the tacit understanding and overall efficiency of the German command.

"Well, the armored forces of the Eleventh Army will be idle for some time to come." Leon nodded after listening carefully to the report of the Eleventh Army and said, "Then are there any needs for troops near the Eleventh Army?" If you need it, you can contact General Erich Abraham of the 11th Army now or privately. ”

"Führer, we are planning to apply to the Logistics Department for a batch of fuel to hold a large-scale armored exercise to deter the French 3rd Panzer Corps deployed in front of us." The representative of the 10th Army of Army Group D immediately stood up and reported, "I request that the armored units of the 11th Army cooperate with us. ”

"I agree to hold a joint exercise between the two group armies, and the logistics department will grant you fuel, but don't talk about this kind of application for resources next time at the report meeting, and apply to the general logistics department yourself if necessary." Leon smiled, "As for whether the Eleventh Army will hold this exercise with you, it depends on them, you can discuss it with them privately." ”

"Understood, my Führer." Hearing that Chenggong would ask for a batch of fuel, the representative of the Tenth Army happily returned to his chair.

"Now it's the turn of the Twelfth Army, how are you doing lately?" Leon asked with a smile as he looked at the representative of the Twelfth Army.

"Führer, our two corps deployed in Finnmark County, with the support of Finnish armoured forces, are well on their way to the Finnmark-Tromshire border, and it is expected that they will be able to enter Tromshire later today and join up with the two divisions that are surrounding Sekemu." The representative of the Twelfth Army read the draft report with his draft, "However, our 128th Infantry Division, which is besieging Bitawale, has encountered some problems and is slowly retreating. ”

"Retreat? You guys were repulsed? Leon put away his smile and asked solemnly.

The Germans had been on the offensive since the beginning of the war, and no unit had ever been repulsed, let alone by a third-rate Norwegian army, so this situation now made Leon a little worried.

"Führer, the 128th Infantry Division is not considered to have been repulsed." The representative of the Twelfth Army was somewhat embarrassed, "They did not retreat because they were defeated, but because of a vile tactic used by the Bitavale defenders." ”

"Despicable tactics?" Leon asked, confused.

"Yes, despicable tactics." The representative of the Twelfth Army nodded and said, "They divided their troops into small units and attacked our positions day and night, so that our soldiers could not even sleep and had no energy to fight. ”

"Then why don't they just split the troops into small groups and sleep in turns defending?" Leon asked.

"They tried, but the Norwegians quickly noticed what they were doing and immediately concentrated their forces on the attack, forcing the rest fighters to stop resting and participate in the battle." The representative replied indignantly, "They are so despicable! ”

Leon was silent when he heard this, he always felt that this style of play was a little familiar, how to look like a low-profile version of Sparrow Battle.

"Do you have any advice or help?" Leon thought for a moment, shook his head and asked the other delegates present.

Those who can sit here and become a representative of a group army are basically one of the command levels of each group army, and they have a very strong battlefield command ability.

But it's such a group of people, after listening to Leon's orders, but you look at me, I look at you, and they can't think of a good way to deal with it for a while.

After all, the battlefield conditions in the city of Bitavale are a bit harsh.

First of all, the Germans only had the 128th Infantry Division on that side, which was inferior in numbers compared to the two infantry divisions and one independent brigade of the Norwegian defenders of Bitavaler, and there was no way to rest and defend at the same time.

Secondly, according to the Gestapo, the Norwegian defenders of Bitavaler had a large number of heavy machine guns, although these heavy machine guns were too heavy to charge with the infantry during the attack, but they relied on their powerful firepower to defend it was really suitable, so tactics such as counterattacks and roundabouts could not be implemented.

Looking at the sad faces of the delegates, Leon felt helpless and said, "Don't you all have an effective solution?" ”

The delegates listened to Leon's questioning and couldn't help but bow their heads in shame.

"Manstein, what about you? Do you have a solution? Seeing that the delegates were not paying attention, Leon turned to Manstein, who was sitting beside him, and asked.

"There's a way!" Manstein replied confidently when he heard Leon turn his head and ask himself.

"What's the solution?" Leon asked happily.

Manstein deserves to be Manstein, it is reliable! Leon thought to himself.

"Retreat!" Manstein said seriously.

"Retreat?" Leon was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Manstein's method was to retreat, what was the difference between this and not saying?

However, he still patiently asked, "How to retreat?" ”

"The Great Retreat, the kind of Great Retreat that goes all the way from Bitawale to Saikemu!" Manstein said with a smile.

"My general, with all due respect, if your solution is to retreat, then I think anyone can come up with it." Leon felt that he had been tricked, and said with suppressed anger.

"My Führer, don't worry, I'm not done yet." Manstein slowly whipped the appetite of the people present, and said, "When retreating to Sekemu, the most important part of this method comes. ”

"First of all, when our only division 'retreats', the defenders of Bitavale will surely be triumphant, because defeating us is something that even Poland has not been able to do, so they will definitely send troops to pursue all the way to annihilate our division and become the first country in the world to destroy our army in formation. And they sent at least two divisions of troops, because they would be afraid of being swallowed by us by turning around without them, and we only had one infantry division near Bitavale, so they would not worry about the safety of Bitawale at all, and would send most of their troops out to pursue us with confidence. ”

"And when they send a large force after us, we will send out surprise forces and occupy Bitavale, which is empty in defense!"

"Odd soldiers?" Leon asked suspiciously, "Where's the Strange Soldier?" ”
