Chapter 404: Reinhardt with Goldfinger

The French army, having suffered a great defeat under the command of Gammelin, had become much more cautious by the moment. Under the leadership of its new commander-in-chief, General Weygon, the remnants of the French army collectively prepared for a strong entrenchment.

It's not that Wei Gang is timid and doesn't dare to attack. But the current Wei Gang, who is really powerless, commands a group of Gan Malin to use the remaining second-rate and third-rate divisions, even if he is a peerless general, it is impossible to achieve good results.

In addition, Weygand recently received information that the German side had dominated the entire war, and it had always been the Führer named Reinhardt. From the beginning of the war to the present, from the Ardennes Forest to Dunkirk, it was the Führer who directed the actions of the German army.

Weygand roughly heard that under Reinhardt's leadership, a German chief of staff named Manstein had perfected a plan for him called "Scythe Harvest". This plan covers almost all the changes that happened later, and arranges the response plan one by one.

A politician can do such a good job as a military strategist! This was unbelievable to General Weygand.

In his opinion, whether it was Plan D, in which Ganmarin tried to send troops to northern Belgium to stop the offensive of the German Army Group B, or the later attempt of the British Expeditionary Force to withdraw to Dunkirk, the plan of the generator plan should be seen through at least a senior general with rich combat experience and a profound military theoretical foundation, who had experienced many wars and cultivated a considerable degree of overall situation and strategic intuition.

However, he did not expect that the only person who really understood all this was a part-time military strategist, a national leader who focused mainly on politics.

Isn't that?!

A politician can actually fight more than countless generals!

can guess the French plan D, cut off the coalition later; It can also predict the British generator plan and bomb Dunkirk in advance.

Who does he think he is, Napoleon of Germany?!

At this time, Wei Gang, who is French, suddenly felt a little emotional.

Thinking of a military and political wizard like Napoleon has always been the pride of the French military industry. Unexpectedly, 2 centuries later, the Germans would also wait for such a double overlord!

The Germans are proud now, but aren't they the French tragic?!

"Report ...... Report! A lieutenant colonel staff officer rushed into Wei Gang's headquarters in a panic and reported in a panic: "Commander! News has just been sent from the front that we have been attacked by German air strikes at several airfields in Compiègne, and these days we have managed to mobilize 300 warplanes in Compiègne, and almost all of them have been destroyed! ”

There was a buzz, and the entire command headquarters was in an uproar. The last combatable division that the Air Force has put together is gone?

"Also...... There were also a number of small airfields along the Som River, which were also hit by the Luftwaffe's precision strikes. Our scattered fighters scattered behind the line of defense were also lost. The staff officer made a shocking thunderbolt of news.

"Oh God....... How did the Germans find the location of each of our airports? Did they fight a war exactly like today's in advance, and foresaw all our dispositions? "Wei Gang's adjutant lost his mind without fighting.

"It's over, now our air force has no fighters that can take off." A liaison officer of the air force looked like dirt and warned the generals in the command in horror: "In this way, the front-line air supremacy will really be completely held by the Germans, and our army will suffer." ”

Inside the headquarters, there was another commotion. The generals looked incredulously at the map on the wall full of red arrows, representing the German multi-way offensive.

The Allies, who had nothing left, surrendered. The Belgian Army, the British Expeditionary Force, and no longer had the Allied armies that could bring up the French to share the pressure. And France's own remaining army is also many times weaker than at the beginning of the war.

"There are some words, even if they are hard to hear, but I still have to say them." On the side, Bironte, who had been looking at the map for a long time, stood up and said: "From the day of the surrender of the British troops on the Dunkirk side, the shelling volume of German Army Group C on all sections of our Maginot Line has increased by several bases on average. ”

Turning his head sideways at Admiral Wei Gang, after waiting for the other party's nod, Belant continued: "You should know that at that time we were transferring troops from the Maginot Line to fill the new line. In other words, the Germans acted as if they knew about our disposition, and then they deliberately intensified their pressure on the Maginot Line, pinning down the forces we left behind, so that we could not continue to draw more troops away. ”

Bironte's words have been made clear. Add to this the fact that today's Luftwaffe strikes on various airfields on the "Weigand Line", it is difficult to conclude that everything is a coincidence.

There is only one truth, that is, the German army has seen all the deployments of the French army, and then arranged all the next military operations one by one.

Such an enemy is so terrifying that it is impossible to muster the courage to face it.

When all the military deployments carefully planned by his side are known to the enemy as transparently, how should the next battle be fought?

It's like a blind man who is already thin and weak, but he has to face an opponent with a strong body and good eyesight alone.

How else can this be fought? Do you want to talk about it?

"In this way, the German Führer may be a little capable." Wei Gang's voice interrupted the awkward situation.

The officers looked at the famous French general, and they seemed to have regained some courage from Admiral Weygang, who seemed to be very confident.

"Don't forget, the German Führer, he is also a human being. He is not an all-knowing and all-powerful God, and there are some things that he cannot guess by deduction and prediction alone. Wei Gang is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and immediately cut to the point to boost morale: "The construction of our new defensive line began long before the surrender of the British allies. The field fortifications and troop arrangements of the defensive line have now been perfected to a considerable extent. ”

At this time, everyone realized how wise and prescient Wei Gang's instructions to plan and arrange a new line of defense in advance when the Allies had not yet failed.

If the British Expeditionary Force is defeated and then sharpens the guns to arrange defenses, it will really be powerless.

If it weren't for the fact that General Wei Gang already possessed rich combat experience and a profound foundation in military theory, and if it weren't for General Wei Gang's unique strategic intuition as a famous general, it would have been absolutely impossible to establish this line of defense today, which is not hard but at least continuous!

"I'd like to see if the German Führer, who seems to be quite smart, can find a weak spot in the new line of defense?" Wei Gang's tone was full of confidence.
