129 True air-ground synergy
"Am I stupid? Is there anything you can do about it? The radio communication distance is only so far, the troops are fighting on the front line, and it is impossible for the airfield to follow the troops' farts all the time. Behind the strands, you tell me what else can be done? ”
When he was in a hurry, he was scolded for being a stupid, and Guderian's tone was naturally not much better, but in fact, he still had some expectations in his heart, maybe Li Ling could really give himself a solution to the problem?
"I ask you, how were they able to get in touch with the plane, given that there was an air-ground contact team? If they can be connected, how can you not make every tank connected? ”
"That's different, the air-ground coordination team has beacons, and the Air Force planes can receive the beacons even if they are far away, and then wait until the planes arrive near the group, and then they can communicate through the Air Force radio, so that they can ......."
"Are you stupid?"
Before Guderian finished speaking, Li Ling scolded again, which completely made Guderian's whole person furious, grabbing Li Ling's clothes and about to beat him, but before his fist fell, Li Ling's next words made his attitude take a 180-degree turn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This problem is so easy to solve, you can't even solve it!"
"How to solve it? Tell me, tell me. ”
"Huh?"
"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
Hurriedly put down his hand, let go of Li Ling, and didn't forget to help Li Ling sort out his clothes, Guderian was so old that he was staring at Li Ling with big eyes as if he was a primary school student in class, waiting for Li Ling's answer.
"Your own blitzkrieg theory, your own requirements for air-ground coordination, how can you still separate the air force and the army in your own mind? Since it's a collaboration, let's pinch it together! What is a radio in the Air Force called? There are also radios on the tanks! I don't believe the radios on both sides can't get across!
The radio communication distance is relatively close, but when the army is attacking, a force is so large, I don't believe that those pilots can't find it when there are no beacons! Unless they're all blind! ”
Li Ling's words are not good, but they are not rough.
In fact, Guderian was still bound by that old-fashioned military thinking at this time, even if he thought of the army and air force working together, but deep down he still thought that the air force was the air force and the army was the army, and the barrier in his thinking had not been broken.
It may seem like a very simple thing to do in modern times, but in fact, in some years, before someone brings it up, all people are trapped in shackles.
"But how can the Army command the Air Force? No one in the army understands air force tactics. ”
"Who put you in command of the Air Force? What a headache. ”
Li Ling patted his head, he had obviously said it so clearly, but why didn't Guderian understand? A generation of famous generals, you are a dignified generation of famous generals, why can't you figure out such a simple truth?
"You don't need to command the Air Force at all! Isn't it okay for the command to tell the Air Force what area to go to for support, and then the Army gives the Air Force the most direct target indication through observation on the ground after the Air Force planes come? Large-scale air strikes may not be needed, but just like today, to hit an Abwehr, this place has obviously undergone a lot of camouflage, and even if the air force planes come, it is very likely that they will not be able to find a truly valuable target. And also save on ammunition! ”
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Guderian said three good words in a row, and directly turned around and ran to the division headquarters of the First Armored Division, leaving Li Ling alone on the dirt slope.
Li Ling's words seemed to open the door to a new world for Guderian, although he knew that the future must be in that direction, but he could not find the entrance, and now Li Ling helped him push the door open with a few simple words, in this case, his vision suddenly opened up!
Yes, in concerted operations, why do we have to separate the army and the air force on the front line, the air force and the air force, and the army and the army?
Wouldn't it be okay to have the Air Force's planes arrive at the battlefield and make contact with the Army by radio? There is no need for that air-ground coordination group to continue to exist!
......
Soon, news of the exchange of fire between Guderian's forces and the Anglo-French forces at Abwehr reached Army Group A headquarters and was handed over to Rundstedt along with his need for air support and Li Ling's plan for a coordinated operation.
Immediately afterwards, Wolfram von Richthofen, commander of the 8th Air Force of the 2nd Air Force of the Luftwaffe, obtained the radio communication code of the army's armored forces and issued it to the various brigades, and then the 77th Dive Bomber Regiment and the 2nd Dive Bomber Group took off and went straight to Abwey.
So far, for the first time in the history of human warfare, the German army has achieved a comprehensive coordinated operation of the army and air force in the true sense, and for the first time in the front-line troops, a single combat unit can call for air support.
Almost instantly, the Luftwaffe's strike became extremely efficient! Under these circumstances, the British and French forces barely held out until dark, and Abbeville was completely occupied, while Amiens was almost bulldozed.
In the other direction, the 7th Panzer Division, which had been losing contact, had also taken the French town of Cambrai and was advancing towards Arras.
The three assault arrows of Army Group A at this time created a jaw-dropping result, and the main force of Army Group A from Sedan advanced 209 kilometers due west in four days to capture Amiens.
The 1st and 2nd Panzer Divisions and the 1st Regiment, also from Sedan in just four days, swooped 252 kilometers west-northwest and took Abwehr with them only one step away from the English Channel.
And the 7th Panzer Division commanded by Rommel pounced 187 kilometers with the strength of almost one division, and was about to launch an attack on Arras, an important stronghold of the British and French forces.
The three arrows at this point form a triathlon. Corner, the Anglo-French forces have been completely cut off from the interior of France, and the German Army Group A and Army Group B have completed the encirclement of the main forces of the Anglo-French Army!
On the evening of this day, Li Ling's 1st Regiment completed a feat that can go down in history, they became the first German army to be sent to the shore of the English Channel in France!
Here, for the first time, Li Ling used his rights to requisition the camera of a German officer and took his first photo of this era. It's just that after he took the photo, and even after the end of the entire French campaign, when the German officer went to develop the photo, Li Ling suddenly discovered an extremely strange problem......
