Admiral Hugo Speller is not as unreliable as Goering. Goering, a fat man of more than 200 pounds, got the nickname "Ge Buling" because his package tickets were 100% ineffective at a critical time.

For example, in the upcoming Battle of Dunkirk, Goering boasted that he could destroy the Anglo-French forces with air force alone, and in the future Battle of Stalingrad, he claimed that he could maintain the supply of the Sixth Army by airdrop. And the final result was that the former failed to annihilate the main Anglo-French forces, and the latter became a turning point in World War II.

But Hugo Speller, a fat man who also weighs 200 pounds, is different. Already during the First World War, the general served as captain squadron leader of the 50th Field Aviation Brigade and commander of the 7th Army Regiment, and was awarded the Royal Order of Hohenzollern with two swords for his command in battle. He is a 100 percent veteran, much more reliable than an air force commander like Goering, who was born as a pilot.

In 1936, he was transferred by Reinhardt to be the commander of the Condor Legion to intervene in the Spanish Civil War, and showed a strong ability to command air battles in this battle, which led to the promotion of air general.

It is worth mentioning that Hugo Spayler also used his status as a German general during the Spanish Civil War to rescue thousands of Catholic believers in the war, so that the Spanish Catholic Church will always remember his brave spirit and gain a lot of good reputation.

At the same time, because of his excellent record in the Vulture Army, the air force of the Spanish Republican Army could not raise its head, and even the Spanish dictator Franco made a special trip to award him a Spanish Cross.

When such an excellent general received a request from Admiral Bock, commander of Army Group B, for a night battle, he did not care at all about the army's interference in the air force command policy as Goering did in history, but for the sake of Bock's request, he made an exception and organized a night battle that the air force had tried to avoid before.

So, after quickly getting a concurring reply from Hugo Sperler, Admiral Bock, who had already boiled out the dark circles under his eyes, patted the Air Force liaison officer on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Great, now I can finally sleep well tonight." ”

..........

"Go away and don't bother me! Tell the brigade commander in Luwan to drive them out. "It's the opposite of Bock. Montgomery, who had developed the habit of going to bed early, was already lying in bed when he got the news of the exchange of fire with the Germans on the front line.

The staff officer who was in a hurry to report the military situation was originally extremely nervous to report the military situation, but he was blasted out of the account by Montgomery, who was too calm, and he was a little unsure of the situation for a while.

His division commander is also a little too calm! Belgian troops are retreating from the Albert Canal. The French Army Group on the right side of the British army also collapsed completely. The surrounding friendly troops were all frightened when they encountered the Germans, but the commander of the 3rd Division of the British Expeditionary Force didn't bother to care about the attacking Germans for the sake of sleep!

I have to say that Montgomery's over-calming, which is probably deliberate, has had a good effect. At the very least, his troops were not as frightened as the Belgian troops when they heard of the German attack. You must know that the Belgian 10th Division, which was stationed in front of the 3rd Division of the British Expeditionary Force, was so frightened that it broke up or surrendered when the 30 tanks led by Colonel Longsenburg launched the first tentative charge.

Montgomery's 3rd Division, on the other hand, was able to calmly respond to the enemy. Although they were no stronger than the Germans, they were at least not crushed at the first touch. Even the Guards Grenadier Regiment and the Royal Northern Ireland Infantry Regiment of Montgomery's 1st Brigade counterattacked and blocked the vanguard mobile unit of less than 1,000 men in Rosenburg on the outskirts of Louvain........

Yes, it was the Germans who were blocked, not encircled!

"Oops! We made a typo in the telegram! "After receiving the order to hold on personally from the headquarters of Army Group and the ensuing news that the Air Force was providing exceptional night support, Colonel Longsenburg of the vanguard regiment quickly sensed that something was wrong.

The reaction of the command was too great, and the fight was somewhat abnormal. And. If it were not for any special reason, orders were usually given from the division headquarters, not from the headquarters of the dignified army group.

After all, the headquarters of the group army group also have jurisdiction over the major group armies, the headquarters of the major group armies must command each army, and the headquarters of each army must command each division headquarters. And then the division headquarters commanded the regimental headquarters. If an army group is to be personally commanded by every regiment of hundreds or thousands, the huge workload will definitely overwhelm the army group headquarters.

Therefore, if a regimental headquarters receives instructions from the headquarters of a group army group, there must be a reason for the attention of the commander of the group army group.

But........ Their vanguard was only in contact with the British army in Luvain, and although they deliberately did not launch a strong attack because of their conservative strength, there was no crisis situation. Why did the army group headquarters personally give a strict order to their small regimental headquarters to hold on, and let the air force, which had always refused to fight at night, make an exception to support?

After flipping through the telegram sent to the rear, Colonel Lonsenburg quickly understood what was enough to make everyone laugh and cry - there was a typo in the telegram, and the situation of the battle was reported wrong!

In the telegram sent to the division headquarters, they mistook the code "arrived" for "surrounded". (Flying Fish Note: The German writing of the arrival is eingetroffen, and the German writing of the surrounding is eingeschloss, the writing is similar, and mistakes are inevitable occasionally)

"It's over," the adjutant at Rosenburg was also embarrassed when he learned what the problem was: "It's such a big joke because of a typo." Not only did it alarm General Bock of our Army Group B, but it also involved the Air Force. When the truth comes out, we'll be locked up......."

Longsenburg knew that the adjutant's words were not wrong at all, who told them to accidentally make a typo and make such a big oolong. No matter what the consequences are, they can only bear them.

"It's wrong for the time being, anyway, the Air Force's support fighters have already taken off, so it's better to use this unexpected Air Force night attack to take down the position of the British army in front of you." Longsenburg shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Let's clarify it to the division headquarters first, and casually send our temporary battle plan to ask for approval." Be careful this time, don't make a typo in the telegram......."

"Yes!" The adjutant replied sweating profusely. Although Longsenburg did not ask, he knew that the erroneous telegram came from him. Since the Lonson newspaper did not ask who wrote the manuscript of the telegram, it is better not to say it....... Although it can probably be guessed that this kind of telegram in return to the division headquarters was either prepared by the regiment commander or the deputy regiment commander. Since Rosenberg himself did not write the telegram, the one who planned to write the telegram could only be .........
