The 672nd Division was a unit that was quickly formed in the early days of the Franco-German War, and in order to deal with a protracted war that might take place in France, they quickly equipped themselves with more advanced weapons in a short period of time to form a good combat effectiveness. However www.biquge.info the speed of the German-French war made the German upper echelons feel a little incredible, so units such as the 672nd Division, which was only formed during the war, were completely unable to catch up with most of the tasks of attacking the French mainland, and except for some finishing work at the end, they were in a semi-stagnant state.

Later, they were transferred to North Africa to carry out combat missions, but fate tricked them, when they arrived in North Africa, it was at the time that the 47th Division led by Trode launched a large-scale offensive against the British and French troops, so they were in the rear and failed to catch up with the main battle again, but at the end of this round of offensive, they replaced several main divisions for a series of defensive change missions, but at that time both sides were in a period of exhaustion, so the battle was relatively less.

A year later, pressure on the Eastern Front forced the Germans to repatriate large numbers of troops from the North African theater. But once again, the soldiers of the 672nd Division were tricked by the heavens - soon after they returned home, the fighting between the Soviets and the Germans began to calm down, and the Germans realized that there was no urgent need to move these troops to the Eastern Front for the time being, so the 672nd and a small number of other troops were used to strengthen the French defenses.

But even so, the Germans, the Italians, and even a small number of Spanish and other troops still underestimated the strength of Britain and France and their new allies, the northern coast of France was breached in an instant, a large amount of French territory was recaptured, the German and Italian troops quickly retreated, and Spain directly hung the white flag and surrendered!

One more thing to say here, Spain's surrender is actually not a surprising result for most people, after all, if the hostile coalition forces occupy France, then it will almost cut off the connection between the German and Italian armies and Spain, and in the case of no land routes, let alone sea routes, now Germany and Italy and their allies still have some control over the northern Mediterranean, and the remaining sea areas have almost been lost. This puts Spain, the 'old power' of Western Europe, whose military strength cannot be compared with these powers, on the edge of a precipice.

In addition to military factors, the difference in strategic attitude was another major reason for Spain's rapid surrender - unlike most other allies, such as Germany and Italy, whose goal was to invade neighboring countries, Spain joined them primarily to suppress the resistance at home, and Spain, which was united with the help of the German army, only took over a small area of western France and was responsible for suppressing the rampant guerrillas there. In addition to the battlefields of North Africa and the Soviet Union, there were no Spanish troops at all.

Now that the primary goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue to risk his life, not to mention that if he continues to carry it hard, he will definitely be the first to be annihilated, so surrendering early has become a wise choice. It's just that this quick surrender, without even a little resistance, still makes people who expected this matter deeply sigh that their bones are really too soft, and they are no longer the European overlord who dominated the sea in the eighteenth century......

After talking about Spain, we returned to the 672nd Division, although several times for major battles to prepare for their ordnance also had a certain speed of improvement, but many times missed it, which made them lack a lot of actual combat experience compared to the troops on the Eastern Front, which is also an important reason why most of the German troops on the Western Front, including them, were defeated by the enemy one after another.

As for the tasks they want to perform, they are actually not under the jurisdiction of the 672nd Division, but only for the troops of the 672nd Division to assist them at critical moments, so many tasks will still have a certain relevance to the tasks of the 672nd Division.

And after arriving at the 672nd Division, Trode did not receive continuous tasks in the scorching battle situation as he did in the battle of the 47th Division, but let them stay in peace for two days first. This is not to say that the battle situation on the front line is not urgent, but the tasks that should be assigned to these two squads have not been completely selected, after all, the tasks that are too low in difficulty do not show their combat level, and the difficulty is too high is not only easy to fail, but also accompanied by a lot of risks, so this is a difficult thing to grasp.

In this regard, Trode is not in a hurry, although defending the country is the foundation of his military life, but in fact, his most important task now is not to let Andre write anything in his report that is not conducive to the further cooperation between the two armies. But with the relationship between the two of them, it was naturally impossible for him to keep an eye on Andre all day long, so Trode didn't do anything except take his team to practice for two days.

As for Andrei, he was really the most idle - he left all the work of organizing the troops to Anton, and he lay down on a comfortable bed and fell asleep. Of course, his players have long been accustomed to Andre's appearance of being heartless at critical moments, so it's no wonder.

"Captain Trod, this is your first mission, please read it carefully, and if you don't understand something, please bring it up now."

After two days of waiting, Trode finally got his and Andre's first assignment. As Trood expected, the person who came to deliver the materials was not from the 672nd Division, but from the General Staff. And when he opened the thick information in his hand, Trode also showed a smile and said, "This is really detailed enough!" ”

Although there was a certain expectation before, the level of detail in the information still made Tlord secretly speechless. Because this is not so much a combat mission that has not yet been carried out, but rather a 'stage play' that has been arranged a long time ago, the characters and even the scenery in the play have been calculated exactly in the slightest, and even the effect of this 'stage play' after the performance has been scientifically estimated.

It can be said that wherever Trode can think of it, there is nothing missing in this information, and then Trode and Andre only need to follow this 'script' to complete the first battle of their real cooperation......
