Chapter 363: How to Fight France

Arrived with tank troops! This made Wittman even more bloody, these days, it was really boring to use his own tanks to fight the infantry and cavalry of the Poles, and now, at last, there is a decent battle to fight!

Cheering up, Wittman was quickly adjusting his sights, hoping to hit the first shot from a long distance and make a good start. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a long-barreled 75-mm tank gun, which hit with a very high accuracy.

Just when the silhouette of the other party gradually became clear, Wittman was stunned, the other party's tank, it looks so familiar? And your own tank, almost exactly the same!

Finally, when he got closer, he saw the sign on the other party's turret, and he was immediately overjoyed, it was his own troops who arrived!

The rush of Army Group North from East Prussia, the Kempf Panzer Division!

At this time, at the forefront of the division was the 7th Panzer Regiment, which was equipped with more than a dozen Panther 3 tanks, which belonged to the elite of the East Prussian army.

In addition to the Waffen-SS, other armored divisions are not formed, such as the current Kempf armored division, the strength is only equivalent to 1 reinforced armored brigade, but the combat effectiveness is quite strong, along the way, they rushed over quickly, and now, they are also quite excited.

In front of them was the Waffen-SS, and after a long journey, the armies of the north and south finally met here victoriously!

Wittmann's armored platoon stopped, and they got out of their tanks.

Since they are not enemies, there is no need to continue to advance and meet them, they are here, waiting for their allies.

At the same time, the other party is also stepping on the accelerator and coming happily.

"Squeak!" The tank made a screeching sound of brakes, and the tank crew on the opposite side was also at the same rapid speed, almost braking until it was close.

"We are the 7th Panzer Regiment of the Kempf Panzer Division!" A tankman on the opposite side, jumping from the turret, said to Wittmann.

"We're skeleton masters." Wittman said loudly, hugging each other tightly: "It's such a pleasure to meet you. ”

"We're happy too!" The other party said loudly: "We have finally met!" ”

It's time to learn! All the tank crews cheered, they threw their hats high into the sky, and the armies of the north and south joined forces, indicating that the remaining Polish army in the encirclement was about to usher in the moment of destruction!

Soon, the news spread to the entire unit, as well as to the command headquarters in the rear.

"Tomorrow, we will be able to destroy the Polish troops in the encirclement, and the day after tomorrow, we will attack Warsaw with all our might!" At this time, in the headquarters of Army Group South, Guderian swore an oath.

In front of him is the person he respects the most, the new head of the Empire, Shirek!

Ciric had been inspecting the front lines, first to Army Group North, and then to the South, where he came to consult with Guderian.

Today, February 22nd, just ten days after the battle, the German army will break through Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and they are making rapid progress compared to a month in history!

Of course, thanks to Ciric's preparation over the years, the German army is much stronger than in history, and the powerful Panther tank is Germany's offensive weapon!

"The Soviets have already sent troops, we have to be quick, and we will settle the battle for Warsaw once and for all before the Soviets reach Warsaw." Ciric said.

"Yes, we have drawn up a detailed plan to take Warsaw within two days." Guderian said.

If the Poles had been smart enough to leave their infantry in Warsaw and fight in the streets of the German army, the Germans would have suffered heavy casualties, and now, the main force of the Polish army has been divided and surrounded and eliminated by the German army in the field, and the resistance in Warsaw will not be too much at all.

"Poland is about to be taken by us, and our next target is France." Ciric said to the generals in front of him.

The Polish campaign, there is no suspense anymore, step by step, Poland can be done, for Germany, the next target is its old enemy France!

"Our war against Poland is a war of revenge." Ciric continued: "Poland has assassinated our Führer, and only by destroying Poland can we avenge the Führer, but the British and French have declared war on us, and France has sent troops to occupy our border areas, we must let the French know that they will pay the price for what they do!" ”

Ciric's words made the people present excited.

France, Germany's long-standing enemies! If in the past, we were still afraid of France's First Army in Europe, but now, the war in Poland has thoroughly demonstrated the strength of the German armored forces.

They also had enough money to fight against France.

Many people, hoping to defeat France, did not expect that this day would come so soon!

"Tell me, how are we going to fight France?" Ciric asked.

In Germany, the high-level military organization for war planning and decision-making originally belonged to the German General Staff, which was developed from the former General Staff of the Prussian Army and is a model for the general staff of the vast majority of the contemporary armies. It is also one of the most outstanding staff institutions in military history for nearly two centuries.

At the beginning, Hitler felt that the General Staff was quite sacred, and without this General Staff, the German army would not have fought at all.

However, when Hitler came to power, he immediately felt that this group of Prussian officers was simply a cage, and Hitler certainly did not want to watch a group of men without courage and blood to thwart his cause.

As a result, at the suggestion of Ciric, the command organ was reorganized, and the former General Staff no longer had any real power, and the real power fell to the Supreme Command of the Wehrmacht, and General Keitel, Hitler's adviser, was the director of the Supreme Command, replacing the position of the former Chief of the General Staff.

Now, the High Command must have had a detailed battle plan for how to invade France, and Ciric said it at this time just to hear the opinions of others.

Such a head of state appears to be more approachable.

How to fight France? This is the problem faced by almost all German soldiers.

At that time, the unified German Empire created by Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister, changed the political landscape of the whole of Europe, and the old European powers hated it to the core, and they wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Because Germany is located at the crossroads of Europe and surrounded by foreign powers, it is strategically disadvantaged, and it is easy to fall into the embarrassing situation of being attacked on both sides. Therefore, shortly after the reunification of Germany, the German General Staff Headquarters began to study how to deal with a future full-scale European war.

Among them, for France, it is the famous Schlieffen plan.
