"Hasn't the 7th Panzer Division been contacted yet?"

"Not ...... yet"

"And what about Guderian?"

"The 10th Panzer Division is now approaching Amiens, the 2nd Panzer Division is on its way to Abwey, we are unable to make direct contact with the 1st Panzer Division, and the communication between the 1st Panzer Division and the 1st Regiment is now all transferred by the 2nd Panzer Division.

"I'm going to take them all to court-martial! All sent to court-martial! ”

Kleist can't wait to catch Rommel and Guderian and that Li Ling now, hang them on the roof and whip them, these three people are his main force, and now they can't even grasp the most basic whereabouts!

"Send a telegram to the command of Army Group B requesting Army Group B to send a reserve to the Arras area, hoping to find the 7th Panzer Division there. As for the 1st Panzer Division, don't ask, after all, the 2nd Panzer Division is following them and can provide reinforcements in time. ”

Kleist leaned back in his chair weakly, and couldn't help but sigh that his battle was not easy to fight, and now the troops were completely crazy, and they didn't listen to their own command and dispatch at all.

In fact, as early as after Army Group A won the color of the front line, the entire army had already gone crazy.

There were no decent formations left in France to put on the defensive, and even if some troops tried to stop them, they would have long since lost their souls in the face of the German bombers and tanks in sight, and finally there were only two options left: surrender or escape.

On May 9, the three-way army of Army Group A was already approaching Amiens, Abbeville, and Arras in France, and these three-way armies happened to be the three people who gave Kleist the most headache, and the 10th Panzer Division was relatively good and could keep a close distance from the troops behind.

The 1st Panzer Division and the 1st Regiment directly under Abwehr had almost disappeared a long time ago, and if it weren't for the 2nd Panzer Division dragging behind, I am afraid that the entire Abwehr direction would have been as completely heard from as the 7th Panzer Division heading to the Arras area.

When the enemy has no power to fight back, a quick forward assault and rapid occupation of strategic points is what every general wants to do, but because the vanguard troops are all armored troops, all kinds of vehicles give them an excellent speed of advancement, which causes the troops with a large number of infantry in the back to keep up with the speed of the forward, and Kleist is completely unable to control the exact position of the vanguard.

After the Germans came out of the Ardennes Forest, they did not rush to Paris with all their might, but attacked northward, which caught the British and French high command by surprise, and the troops were pinned down in Belgium in large numbers, and the German Army Group A had to cut off the back of the British and French forces, once they achieved their goal, then the British and French forces would be completely encircled in the northeast corner of France and Belgium, which would be devastating!

Therefore, the British and French high command made timely adjustments and urgently dispatched ten divisions to the front line reinforcements at Amiens and Abwey.

Unlike Amiens, Abwey was not the main target of the German Army Group A, so it was in Guderian and Li Ling's fart. There were no troops behind the unit, and in such a situation, Guderian forced the 1st and 2nd Panzer Divisions to pull a long distance, and in fact, when they reached the vicinity of Abwey, there were only the 1st Panzer Division and the 1st Regiment directly under it.

It was not only the French army that was responsible for defending Abbeville, there were two British divisions and a French armored division in Abbeville, and the Anglo-French troops who were on guard immediately ordered artillery to strike at the Germans when they spotted the German traces.

Under the heavy artillery fire, several tanks of the 1st Armored Division and the 1st Regiment directly under them were destroyed in an instant, and Li Ling and the others had to stop their attack to prevent them from paying even greater losses.

"I didn't expect us to be forced to stop by the French."

On a dirt slope, Guderian put down the telescope in his hand and complained to Li Ling helplessly.

Because the large force was attacking Amiens, and they were rushing too fast, there was no group responsible for air-ground liaison to accompany the 1st Armored Division and the 1st Regiment directly under them, and the vast majority of the air force was also concentrated in Amiens, so they did not have any air support at all at this time.

The blitzkrieg without the support of the air force is equivalent to wasting half of his strength, Guderian, who knows this very well, but he was fierce at the beginning, and the main force of the army group is going to attack Amiens, so those sparse air-ground coordination groups will not follow Guderian at all, and calling for air support has become a luxury.

"Shall we stop here?"

"What's the way to stop here? I was too reckless at the beginning, and now I can't even call air support. ”

"Why can't it? Wouldn't it be better for you to contact the army group and ask them to provide air support? ”

The air-ground battle, with a lot of firepower, feels really cool, and this is why the German army was able to crush the whole of Europe in World War II. It's just that Li Ling has never cared much about how the Luftwaffe cooperated with the ground forces of the army, so he didn't realize that the most important link in their troops was missing at this time!

"How can we fight without an open space contact group? How to bomb when the Air Force comes? Ay! Such groups should be directly integrated into the individual units and should not be taken out in isolation. ”

"Clear-space liaison group? , don't you know how to let the plane communicate directly with the front-line troops? Isn't there a radio? ”

Hearing Guderian's complaining voice, Li Ling suddenly realized, he didn't expect that the air-ground coordination in this period would be such a low-level method.

However, Li Ling forgot that neither technical means nor tactical thinking could be compared with later generations in this era, and before the German army, no country had ever thought of the air force and army working together, and the German army had already created history in this regard.

This is World War II, this is 1940, and it is not at all the era of the 21st century when a single soldier can call in an airplane or even a missile to strike!

"The radio communication distance is so short, do you think you can do it if you want to?"

Guderian retorted to Li Ling with some helplessness, as the founder of the blitzkrieg theory, of course he knew the importance of realizing that the front-line troops could call for air support at any time, but the technical means were there, and it was impossible to do it at all.

"You...... Can you be a little more stupid? ”
