Chapter 234: The Battle of Montenegro (2)

It didn't take long for Hausser to be defeated by the political leader Baviric and the Serb Milan? Nedic, with the warmest welcome to hold a banquet to greet and wash the dust. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Hausserl and Heinrich did not stay long in this solemn banquet under the pretext of the urgency of the war, but entrusted this important task to Wright, the commander of the Southeastern Front.

Immediately after leaving the banquet, Hauser gathered all the high-ranking officers who had participated in the 6th encirclement and suppression operation for an urgent combat meeting.

At the meeting, Hausserl and Heinrich talked about everything, but quietly listened to the accounts of all the high-ranking officers about the terrain of Montenegro and the situation of the battle.

and the results of the current battle according to the current situation of the more than 30,000 troops who went to Hausser to conduct a tentative operation in Montenegro.

And when they held this combat meeting, the German troops on the Montenegrin front had also stopped their offensive and were meeting to discuss the subsequent battle.

"Angra? Commander Merkel! What do we do next? The guerrillas of Tieto were like a hard bone, nailed to the Tara Gorge in the Black Mountain; And we can't move forward, we have launched 3 large-scale attacks in succession, but we haven't even captured the Tara River! ”

Chaudland, commander of the 118th Blocking Infantry Division, asked anxiously.

Because in these three desperate attacks, one of his regiments has been defeated.

If he continued to consume his troops like this, then his 118th Blocking Infantry Division would probably not be able to be reimbursed in its entirety in a short time.

"Prepare for the first round of glider airborne battles! This is the instruction we gave to my new commander, Commander Hausser, before we came here! ”

The commander of the Montenegrin operation, Angra? Merkel, decisively underground the latest combat command.

"Shall we report to Commander Hauser, then?"

Division Commander Chodland asked.

"Yes! He and Deputy Commander Heinrich have already arrived in Croatia! ”

Angela? Commander Merkel nodded in agreement.

"Good! I ordered the personnel to send him a telegram notification! That's right! We don't have airborne troops and gliders here? How will we wait for the glider to be airborne? ”

Speaking of which, the division commander Chodland suddenly remembered.

"Commander Hausser has already arranged the glider troops! We just have to wait for their airborne operation to launch and immediately launch another general attack on the guerrillas in Montenegro! ”

Angela? Commander Merkel said with confidence.

"Hey, hey! I really can't imagine that Commander Hausser is so powerful, and before he arrives at our front line to understand the battle situation, he can command operations thousands of miles away! And so quickly mobilized gliders for airborne operations! Think about our previous combat operations, we have not been able to get the support of the Airborne Forces so quickly! ”

Division Commander Chodland was surprised.

"Commander Hausser is now one of the more important generals of the Führer, and you must not forget that he is also the national commander of the SS and the general of the Waffen-SS, so of course his voice power is more powerful than our former commander, General Rust, even if it is our commander of the Southeast Front, Wright, may be more powerful than him!"

"And the Führer values Commander Hausser more than Commander Wright!"

Angela? Commander Merkel said with a smile on his familiar expression.

"Hey! Then we will take this opportunity to tighten the thigh of Commander Hausser! Only if he recommends it to the Führer, our future prospects will be bright! ”

After listening, the division commander Qiao Delan also said excitedly.

Seeing the other party's excited and excited expression, Angela? Commander Merkel just smiled faintly, calmly, and said no more.

However, he quickly walked to the field phone of the headquarters, picked up the field phone and called.

"The glider combat operation can begin, and our War Department will cooperate with your combat operations at the same time!"

As soon as the phone was answered, Angra? Commander Merkel immediately spoke.

"Roger! We're going to be there soon! ”

The commander of the 7th Airborne Division of gliders, Stuart Deng, picked up the phone and responded.

After that, he hung up the phone and began to give combat orders.

He first sent an air commando, the commander of which was called Ernst.

The air assault team commanded by this man totaled 800 people, and was also organized into two echelons, each with 400 people.

At the same time, each echelon was divided into 4 assault teams, which were airborne using gliders.

At the same time, each detachment has divided its tasks well, and its operational objectives are very clear and definite.

Each commando unit is 100 people, equipped with light weapons and about 3 tons of explosives.

In addition to this, each detachment is equipped with flamethrowers, machine guns, anti-tanks, and mortars, as well as demolition teams.

In addition, it is equipped with a He111-Z heavy glider tractor, which is equipped with a 20mm cannon, two 13mm machine guns, and five 7.9mm machine guns.

And these He111-Z heavy glider tractors can tow one Messerschmidt Me321 heavy glider, or two Go242 gliders into the air.

And the 7th Airborne Division, in addition to the Messerschmidt Me321 heavy glider, also had the Gotha Go.242 medium glider.

As for the DFS230 light gliders that have been phased out, a small part is still retained in their troops as a last reserve.

Of course, this time, the first round of airborne commandos of the 7th Airborne Division did not intend to send all the more than 15,000 people of the division out to fight.

But even so, he still demanded that each assault squad be equipped with at least 10 gliders for airborne operations.

With the order of Stuarten, the commander named Ernst also quickly led his air assault team, using the Messerschmidt Me321 heavy glider fleet and the Gotha Go.242 medium glider fleet, to parachute into the partisans of the Tyto, which had been established in the Montenegrin defensive position.

In addition to this, 20 assault transport aircraft, as well as 100 ME 323 "Giant" gliders, are waiting in the rear for support combat orders, or for a second round of air raid orders.

These Me 323 "Giant" gliders were converted from the Me 321 heavy glider with six air-cooled engines.

In addition to these gliders and assault transport aircraft, 50 DC-3 air cavalry were used for transport, airdropping supplies and paratroopers, and for towing military gliders as reserves waiting for orders.

If the war was unfavorable or when it was difficult to annihilate the guerrillas, he asked Situ Deng to use large-scale defoliant to destroy vegetation and cassava plantations, just like the U.S. army did in the Vietnam War, so that those guerrillas would have no place to hide and cut off food supplies.

Of course, Chen Yanlong is strictly forbidden to use this combat operation unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because the consequence of this is to destroy the ecological parallel of nature and the environment, Chen Yanlong will not immediately issue an order to use this defoliant to attack Montenegro, which has dense forests and beautiful environment.
