411 The madness of the Prussians
Rows of dejected Prussian prisoners were guarded by Han mobilizers, who numbered less than a tenth of them.
Because the small mobile force led by Lin Haoda carried all the fuel, grenades, and machine gun bullets used in the German No. 3 tank, after all the positions of the First Army were defeated, the Han army did not even have a single Maxine heavy machine gun......
Lin Haoda once again experienced the huge advantages brought by the debut of new weapons, the Prussian soldiers of the First Army were no different from the other units of the First Army, when the German No. 3 tank was invulnerable, all the way to the past, they naturally had a terrible avalanche, and even the most determined to fight the military police, when they saw the German No. 3 tank rumbling over, they also threw away all the weight they could throw away like a little girl, how could the duck run wildly......
Unfortunately, the German No. 3 tank itself was a very fast tank type in the early days of World War II, and if it is classified according to later standards, it belongs to the kind of light tank that values speed.
Of course, when the German No. 3 tank first appeared, there was no concept of light and heavy tanks, and when the German army swept through France, the German No. 3 tank, which was not too thick, was completely used as the main tank.
The Prussian First Army, which collapsed without much resistance, was pursued by the cavalry infantry and the German No. 3 tank, and not many people really escaped, and the few war horses did not take away a few Prussian officers.
Because in the battlefield at that time, as far as the eye could see, there were all defeated Prussian soldiers, and Commander Bidianfeldt did not even know the reason for the rout due to the influence of smoke and dust, so he naturally tried to save this quick and terrifying rout, and then unsurprisingly was beaten into a sieve by the German No. 3 tank that caught up later......
Less than 1,000 soldiers were actually killed in the First Army, and the remaining more than ninety percent became prisoners of war of the Han army.
Tens of thousands of Prussian prisoners of war only caused a slight uprising, if not to turn defeat into victory, it was enough to break through the pitifully thin cordon of the mobilized soldiers......
However, when these Prussian prisoners of war saw the figure of the German No. 3 tank parked in the distance, they invariably gave up the idea of escaping, and the previous rout had confirmed that fleeing under the pursuit of the moving steel behemoth would only be beaten into a puddle of rotten meat by a dense number of bullets!
Because of this, hundreds of Han soldiers with Mauser rifles only need a glance to make the Prussian veterans who once proudly walked into the city of Paris obediently bow their heads.
Lin Haoda looked at the Prussian prisoners of war who were pressed in black, and couldn't help but feel the deterrent power of tanks.
It is no wonder that the British army used it for the first time during World War I, and the original outrageous iron 'tank' could achieve surprising results.
However, during the First World War, the soldiers at least had the means to destroy the tank, whether it was a mortar or a heavy artillery covering fire, so that there was no way to deal with the tank, but in the era of the Franco-Prussian War, the more advanced and mature German No. 3 tank was really an inexplicable existence.
The only Prussian artillery that could threaten tanks was inferior in range, and this battle naturally could not be fought by the Prussian army.
"Master, this time the First Army Corps of Prussia has basically been abolished, even if the commander of the First Corps, Carl Friedrich von Steinmetz, gathers all the routs and discards so much equipment, they will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time, what should we do next?"
Qin Xue'er, as a confidential secretary, asked very competently.
"While we were crushing the French local interception forces, the Prussians began to move their three corps to our side, and we have just learned from a prisoner of a senior officer of the First Army that the Second and Third Corps are moving in a pincer pattern towards us.
The combat mission of their First Army was only to cooperate with the two cavalry divisions to cut off our rear route, encircle our army, and wait for the arrival of the two corps to crush us with an absolutely superior force.
With the level of communication in this era, the 2nd and 3rd Army Corps in the current movement could not receive the news of the rout of the 1st Army at all, and we could choose one of them again in this way to defeat another legion, as long as two of the three main Prussian corps were defeated by our army, would the remaining Prussian corps still confront us head-on?
At that time, as long as the commander of the Prussian regiment had a little brain, he should also know how big the difference between them and our army was in terms of combat effectiveness and even the generation of weapons!
Moreover, even if the Prussian army continues to oppose us, our actual combat power will be higher than that of the other side, and the German tank No. 3 will become a real nightmare for the Prussians. ”
Lin Haoda said confidently.
"Master, are we going to attack the Prussians with ten tanks and a few hundred mounted infantry?
This time it is not the strength of one army, but the entire main battle corps of more than 100,000 people, and the ratio of this strength is almost 1 to 1,000...... Isn't it too risky to do so? ”
Lin Haoda glanced at Qin Xue'er with a strange expression: "When did I say that I would attack the Prussian army of more than 100,000 people with a few hundred people?" The reason why the First Army chose to establish a position here was also to facilitate the convergence with the Second Army, and we only had to wait for the troops behind to follow, and establish a position in peace and stability for the Prussian Second Army to attack.
Qin Xue'er, you inform the staff to arrange the escort of prisoners and the formation of positions, we don't need to dig deep trenches, we only need to build piles of machine gun positions, so that the Prussians who are still in the stage of cluster charging will shed blood! ”
"Master, it is very likely that the Second Legion will get the news of the rout of the First Legion before they arrive, and when the time comes, what if they don't attack our position?"
"The defensive direction of our position only needs to face the Prussian Third Army, as long as the Prussian Second Army drives over, whether they attack or not, I will lead this rapid advance force to attack!"
Qin Xue'er looked stunned: "Eh, I know, I will inform the staff in detail." ”
"By the way, Qin Xue'er, you tell the General Staff, make a backup plan, we must be prepared to lose Paris and Versailles, the Prussian commander is not a fool, when they find that there is no way to take us in a head-on battle, it is likely to be ruined!"
