099 Weisai Exercise Plan
In addition to the large-scale pick-up of Guderian personally escorted and accompanied by 50 drivers, Li Ling's first regiment has not experienced large-scale pick-up, and the back is basically three or five cars sent here, but fortunately, every time the people of the Supreme Command will send a driver with the car, regardless of whether he is an experienced veteran or a newbie who has just learned, at least there is no need to re-train, but it saves a lot of time and can form combat effectiveness faster. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At present, the first regiment directly under Li Ling is somewhat decent, with a guard company, a repair company, a logistics support detachment, and three combat battalions, including two No. 4 tank battalions and a Li tank destroyer battalion.
The combat battalion adopts a three-three system, with three companies per battalion, three platoons per company, and three plus one tank per platoon.
Each battalion headquarters is assigned to a guard squad, and each platoon has three tanks for combat and one tank as a spare vehicle.
With a total of 108 of Germany's most advanced tanks, it can be said that Li Ling's regiment will become the sharpest arrow in any direction in the war.
But by the time his unit was fully assembled, it was less than a month before the High Command had set a time frame for attacking Norway and Denmark, and his force, though it appeared to be strong, was almost entirely new recruits, except for the officers, as well as the repair company and the drivers of the various vehicles.
Keitel once came to Li Ling and asked him if he wanted to participate in the campaign against Norway and Denmark and train his troops in actual combat, but Li Ling refused.
Training in actual combat can definitely play a great role in the growth of a unit, which Li Ling knows very well, but at the moment he is reluctant!
Among this newly formed army, there are more than 200 Chinese living in Germany or Poland, and they are all his own compatriots, Li Ling would rather his troops be pulled out one day later, rather than see his compatriots exchange blood and even their lives for the rapid formation of combat effectiveness, not to mention, the France behind is not a hard stubble, and when the time comes, it will be able to train and train troops behind a relatively good army.
Li Ling walked on the huge training ground, as small as an ant, and around him, there were tanks undergoing various trainings, these were his own troops!
"This is just the beginning! In the future, you will be even stronger! In the future, I will take you with me and make the whole world tremble. Shake! ”
......
Far away in Berlin, the Supreme Command, at this time, the staff officers were nervously formulating the battle plan, but unlike the previous way of working of the Supreme Command, this was the first time that the reorganized German High Command had drawn up a detailed battle plan for a certain country!
The time is February 14th, and this day is the traditional love of the West. People are in love. On this day, few of the high-ranking members of the German army had the time or leisure to go on a date, except for one person, of course, and that was Brauchitsch, the commander-in-chief of the German Army!
After the reorganization, the General Headquarters of the German Army no longer had the authority it had in the past, and had completely degenerated into a management and executive organ, without the right to participate in the drawing up of operational plans, and to draw up operational plans, all of which were left to the Supreme High Command; once operational arrangements were made, the Supreme High Command was responsible for issuing operational orders to the general headquarters of the navy, army, and air force, and even the Supreme High Command could directly pass through the general headquarters to convey the orders to the combat units.
Although the High Command sometimes made such direct actions beyond the Army General Headquarters during the Polish campaign, it was only an occasional time, and Brauchitsch still held the command and decision-making power in his hands, but now, Brauchitsch has become an irrelevant person!
Looking at this problem the same way, Raeder and Falckbil are much more relaxed and optimistic, in the eyes of these two people, this is better, the unified command and cooperation will be more seamless, and as the commander of the service, he can also participate in the formulation of the battle plan, but Brauchitsch himself is unwilling to go, and no one will object to him if he goes.
At this time, the battle plan being developed within the Supreme High Command was the battle plan of Germany against Denmark and Norway!
Maybe it will be a day that will go down in history, but no one will remember it!
This is the first time in the history of the German army that the entire armed forces have really drawn up a combat plan together, and the combat plan is also from the perspective of joint operations of the three armed forces!
After a long period of three full days, the battle plan codenamed 'Operation Wiesel' was formally drawn up and submitted to the German head of state Heydrich for approval, and immediately Heydrich approved and issued an order for the relevant troops to immediately enter combat readiness and mobilization, and the attack time was set for the early morning of April 1, 1940, April Fool's Day!
There were no twists and turns in the formulation of the plan, after all, the military strength of these two countries was really not eye-catching, and with the Supreme High Command above the three armed forces, William Keitel, as the chief of the general staff and the actual head of the Supreme Command, naturally rose in status, as if he was the first person in the army, and even stood above the marshal as a general.
He was responsible for the battle plan drawn up this time, and it was also the first time that he tried to formulate a joint combat operation of the three services according to Li Ling's ideas.
Unlike the first time when Germany ventured into a large-scale annexation of Poland, if Germany attacked Norway and Denmark again, the pressure from the outside world would not increase, but would decrease a lot.
Before attacking Poland, there was no clear position between the major powers, and Germany's war could easily cause hostility and even troops from neighboring countries, but this time, the enemy was already very clear!
Due to the fact that the British and French practices in the previous Polish campaign had disappointed many allies, coupled with Goebbels' propaganda offensive, if Britain and France wanted to do something against Germany at this time, I am afraid that few countries would really contribute.
And as an ally of Germany, the war between the Soviet Union and Finland seems to be about to come to an end, and by that time there will be such a behemoth as the Soviet Union, and Britain and France will not dare to do it easily!
The United States has reached an invisible agreement with Germany, and Italy and Spain are Germany's most direct allies.
In this case, as long as Norway and Denmark are solved quickly enough, Britain and France will definitely not do it, because just a month ago, the French just got the so-called German copy of the Schlieffen plan 'yellow plan' that Germany is going to do to France, and France seems to have no time to deal with the life and death of Norway and Denmark, and they are more concerned about whether the Germans will use Norway and Denmark as a cover, in fact, they want to do it to themselves......
ps: Let me tell you that the Lee-type TD is not a Rhinoceros, the Rhino was developed by the Eckert company, and it is a fixed turret. But Li Ling ran to Rheinmetall, the company that made the Rhine-like crispy but with a rotating turret. The Li style in the remnant star text belongs to a simplified version of the Rhine, with a rotating turret, which will be a little better than the rhinoceros in actual combat, but the early 88 gun is too heavy, and the No. 4 chassis still wants to rotate the turret, so basically it can only sacrifice the turret protection
