Chapter 215: The Polish War

Poland's harm to Germany during World War I is still fresh in the memory of all Germans, and the Danzig Corridor has become a pain in the hearts of all Germans, and now Poland has begun to do things to hurt Germany again. If it was during the Weimar Republic, Germany, which was weak, might have swallowed its anger, but now Germany is no longer the same, and Germany, under the leadership of the Führer, not only restored the German economy, but also rearmed Germany.

The anger of the German people was provoked by all kinds of propaganda, and the call for immediate punishment of Poland broke out almost instantly, and then Hitler finally felt that it was a matter of course, and ordered through the High Command:

"The White Plan was launched at 5:40 a.m. on 9/6/39."

……

The German command, for a covert surprise attack on Poland, discreetly deployed its forces in three directions in advance. In Pomerania and East Prussia was assembled Army Group "North" consisting of 21 divisions, under the command of the 3rd Army (Commander General Quchler) and the 4th Army (Commander Kruger, under Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps), under the commander-in-chief of Von Brown. Admiral Bock. Army Group "South" consisting of 33 divisions was assembled in German Silesia and Czechoslovakia, under the command of the 14th Army (Commander General Liszt), the 10th Army (Commander General Reichenau) and the 8th Army (Commander General Blaskovitz), with General Rundstedt under the commander-in-chief. The two clusters are supported by the 1st Air Force (commanded by General Kesselring) and the 4th Air Force (commanded by General Lehr), respectively. The Germans committed a total of 44 divisions, including 7 panzer divisions. 4 lightly armored divisions, 4 motorized infantry divisions, 1,939 aircraft, 2,800 tanks, a total of 886,000 people, and if you count the reserves, the strength is 62 divisions, 1.6 million people

When he left the next morning, Krupp prepared four trucks for Li Mo, and Krupp told him that this was a radar prototype that Krupp had just produced. Let Li Mo take it to the front line to practice. This radar was a good thing, and after saying goodbye to his father and wife, Limer immediately rushed to the 10th Army in Częstochowa, which was attacking Poland, with three experimental radars. The 7th Light Armored Division and the 1st and 2nd Mechanized Infantry Divisions formed the 15th Mechanized Corps. It was subordinate to the 10th Army of Army Group South. Division Commander Major General Rommel. At this time, the armored regiment of the division had 162 available tanks. Mainly equipped with Type III tanks. In addition, there were a small number of Type 4 tanks.

Li Mo's current position is the deputy commander of the Seventh Armored Division, and before Li Mo reports to the Seventh Armored Division, he still needs to meet Lieutenant General Stum, the commander of the 15th Motorized Army. Stum is still very enthusiastic about Limer. Now Li Mo is a real and well-known hero in Germany. Li Mo may have a bit of propaganda when he won the first Knight's Iron Cross, but now Li Mo's military exploits are real and no one can question them. Of course, Lieutenant General Stum welcomes talents like Li Mo to join the army, not to mention Li Mo's family and the Krupp Arms Company, as long as Li Mo is in his own army, it shouldn't be a problem to get some tanks that are extremely needed by the troops, anyway, Li Mo will become a fragrant bun, and he will eat it wherever he goes.

If a man wants to be recognized, he must have strength, Li Mo's military exploits are on the one hand, and a strong family background is of course one of the indispensable factors, the era of fighting for his father is not only the characteristics of the Celestial Empire, but everywhere, this is unavoidable, Li Mo can stand at the highest place in the world and shout:

"My dad is Krupp, and that beautiful woman would like to sleep with me?"

Those who are willing to recommend themselves to the pillow seat have not 10,000 beauties but 8,000, fortunately, Li Mo is not a flowery person, an Elizabeth beauty mistake almost took Li Mo's life, which makes Li Mo dare to "red apricot out of the wall", women are tigers, and Chinese people can't deceive me.

Li Mo said goodbye to Lieutenant General Stum and immediately rushed to the station of the 7th Panzer Division, and Rommel had already received the news of Li Mo's arrival from Stum's phone call, which made Rommel very excited. There are several reasons why Rommel is happy, that is, Rommel also knows his own advantages and disadvantages, Rommel knows that he is a master of tactics, but he lacks what kind of jumping thinking Li Mo, and the victory or defeat of the war is not only a matter of tactics, whimsy is also very important, if everything only relies on frontal crushing, Germany will not be able to carry out this kind of high-attrition war for a long time.

On the other hand, wherever Li Mo goes, Hitler's attention is there, and whether some German generals also know this law, then this unit or some commanders close to Li Mo will be promoted quickly, not to mention that Li Mo can also use his family background to get a lot of weapons and equipment. It's no wonder that Rommel is so looking forward to Li Mo's arrival, Rommel once promised Li Mo that the deputy commander of the Seventh Armored Division will be kept by Li Mo, and now the Seventh Armored Division has no deputy division commander, even if there are these relevant appointments above, Rommel will not hesitate to push back, Rommel who likes to disobey orders has not started this kind of behavior before the war.

"Here, Commander, look at it."

"Brothers, it's the boss, you see that the boss is now a major general."

A group of colonel-level officers beside Rommel saw Li Mo sitting in the open top from afar, and began to shout that these people were Li Mo's brothers who had been assigned to the Seventh Light Armored Division, Bismarck, Funk, Karl, Chris, Erhard and others.

Li Mo was finally transferred to the 7th Light Armored Division, and in the future, several old brothers could fight side by side again. Bismarck was already the commander of the tank regiment of the 7th Panzer Division at this time, and some of the others were battalion commanders or company commanders of infantry battalions, and the company commander was considered the lowest position.

"Ondet, you're finally here! Thank you again this time, the Secretariat of the Führer has already called me, and it is really good news that our 7th Light Armored Division will be expanded into the 7th Panzer Army after the end of the Polish campaign, and the 1st and 2nd Light Panzer Divisions will be incorporated into our 7th Panzer Army. ”

Li Mo already knew the news, Hitler was really good to Li Mo, but Hitler still doesn't know what will happen if he personally puts two not so obedient generals together. You must know that Rommel is also a general who does not like to listen to orders to fight, let alone Li Mo.

"Teacher, you may be about to be promoted! This position of commander of the armored corps belongs to you! ”

It is impossible to say that Rommel does not want to go further, and Napoleon said: "A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier." Although Rommel very much wanted to get the position of army commander, it was not so easy, first, he had to have a record of taking shots, and secondly, he had to be very appreciated by Hitler.
