Chapter 534: The German Blitzkrieg That Happened in Advance

Wilhelm II took Hitler's suggestion, and a military revolution belonging to the German Empire quietly unfolded, without attracting the slightest attention from Britain, France, Russia and other countries in the European theater, and even kept it strictly secret from the Chinese Empire and other Allied member states.

At Hitla's suggestion, the German military concentrated on the production of the Krupp III tank and the Junkers II fighter, and at the same time began to imitate the submachine guns used by the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire.

These weapons and equipment were not sent to the European battlefield for the first time, whether it was the Western Front or the Eastern Front, the German army fought very hard, Britain, France and Russia advanced fighters and tanks continued to appear, and gradually suppressed the German army in terms of quality and quantity.

However, the German base camp didn't care at all, even if the British and French forces launched a major counteroffensive on the Western Front, recaptured Paris, and even launched the Battle of Verdun to drive the German army out of Verdun in one fell swoop.

The German army on the front line suffered successive defeats and lost more than 100,000 troops, but the German base camp still did not take action, but continued to quietly produce new weapons and equipment such as Krupp tanks, Junker fighters and MP96 submachine guns on German soil.

Wilhelm II came to Hitler several times, and expressed concern about the successive defeats of the German army on the Western Front, the continuous retreat of the German army, and the fact that it was about to retreat to the German-French border, and expressed concern about the battlefield on the Western Front and Hitla's blitzkrieg plan.

This can't be blamed on Wilhelm II, after all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and a slight carelessness, a mistake in judgment, can lose a battle, and then lose a battle, affecting the outcome of a war.

Hitra persuaded Wilhelm II very firmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that we are now losing on the battlefield on the Western Front, and the German army is constantly retreating, but it is not far from our final victory. ”

Wilhelm II was still worried, after all, the German Empire was not Hitler's, even if Hitra made a mistake in judgment, at most he fled to other countries, and if Wilhelm II lost, he would really lose his pants and lose everything.

Obviously, Wilhelm II could not afford to lose.

"Are you sure? I'm always a little worried, what if our Blitzkrieg battle plan doesn't work? ”

Hitra persuaded: "Your Majesty, now the German officers and soldiers on the front line have been complaining that our tanks and fighters are not as good as the tanks and fighters of the British and French forces, and the Germans are fighting very hard, just like that, when we suddenly put the powerful Krupp tanks and Junkers fighters, as well as advanced MP96 submachine guns into the battlefield a few days later, then the Germans must be crazy with joy, after a long period of suppression, their will to fight instantly exploded, it was an invincible combat effectiveness." ”

Hitra paused and continued: "In addition, if we put every tank and fighter we produce into the battlefield, because the number is too small to form a scale, we will not be able to play the full role, and we will even warn the British and French forces in advance, so that they can be prepared, and even develop targeted countermeasures." But if we keep hiding, the British and French forces have always had an advantage, they will be proud, they will despise us, when we put thousands of Krupp tanks and thousands of Junkers fighters into the battlefield suddenly, what will be affected is a large-scale battle, a decisive battle, directly send the British and French forces to hell, while the British and French forces do not react, our blitzkrieg operations may defeat the British and French forces in one fell swoop, so as to capture France, and then capture Britain. ”

Hitla's speeches were always so seductive that Wilhelm II's doubts disappeared without a trace.

He asked, "Well, just keep doing as you say!" So when should we start the counteroffensive? ”

Hitra glanced at the map and said: "According to the current situation, the Anglo-French forces on the Western Front will continue to advance, and the German Army Group on the Western Front will have to lose another battle and retreat to the north of Verdun and east of the Maas River, where we have built strong fortifications, enough to hold back the attack of the Anglo-French forces, and then our elite troops will concentrate 3,000 Krupp III tanks, twelve infantry divisions are equipped with MP96 submachine guns, and another 3,000 cover, and the troops are divided into two ways, Break through the flank defense line of the British and French forces from the left and right flanks, and encircle the main forces of the British and French forces. Our strategic depth is long enough, and the Anglo-French forces will inevitably underestimate the enemy and stretch the battle line if their flank defenses are suddenly broken by us, and the Anglo-French forces will die of fear, leading to a final rout. ”

Wilhelm II was finally full of confidence.

The German arsenal frantically built the Krupp III tank, and the consumption of strategic resources such as steel increased dramatically. The preparation of the Junkers fighter was slow, mainly because of the strict requirements of the pilot and the aero engine, and it was not until another three months that 1,500 Junkers-2 fighters were ready.

The aero engines of the fighter slowed down the production of the Junkers fighters of the German army, and even Hitra underestimated them, ignoring the current industrial strength of the German Empire, and the supply of 1,500 aircraft engines in three months was already the limit.

As a last resort, Hitra had no choice but to report to Wilhelm II to re-import 1,500 high-performance aero engines from the Chinese Empire.

However, the Chinese Empire obviously did not only sell aero engines, which made too little money, and required the German Imperial military to purchase at least 3,000 F15 fighters.

The current performance of this F15 fighter is somewhat outdated, because during this time, not only the German Empire vigorously developed high-thrust aero engines, but the Entente countries have spared no effort to successfully copy the first aero engine patent of the Chinese Empire - the star-shaped rotary cylinder aero engine.

At present, almost all of the Newburgh fighters of the Entente countries use star-shaped rotary cylinder aero engines, and the overall performance has reached the engine thrust equipped with the F15 fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force.

Therefore, in the air battle, the large number of F15 fighters that Germany had previously imported from the Chinese Empire no longer had much advantage.

The star-shaped rotary cylinder aero engine developed by the German army on the basis of F15 has overcome many shortcomings, such as the rotary cylinder engine has a huge inertia when rotating, and the body is difficult to control.

In this era, pilots who can fly such planes into the sky have a nickname in the market, called madmen. Because only a madman flies a plane into the sky, nine out of ten pilots will be finished, because to control this rotary type aircraft, it takes a huge amount of force, the pilot is extremely tired after each combat mission, and if the next air battle is carried out immediately after, the pilot's excessive fatigue will increase the risk of falling.

Of course, in this era, the military of various countries did not pay enough attention to pilots, and even less attention to human life. After the outbreak of the war, the newly recruited recruits were sent directly for pilot training, and in the later stage, after almost a week of simple training, they flew airplanes into the sky, and nine out of ten new pilots could not return.

Within a year, 500 F15A and 5,000 F15A1 fighters were imported from the Chinese Empire, and at present they have almost lost everything, of which only 1,700 were directly shot down by British and French fighters, and 2,000 were shot down by ground machine guns, while the remaining more than 1,000 F15 fighters were all dropped by themselves, causing heavy casualties to the valuable pilots of the German army.

At present, pilots in all countries of the world do not have parachutes, and only the pilots of the Imperial Chinese Air Force are equipped with parachutes, and it is conceivable that Germany has lost thousands of excellent pilots, which has made the situation worse for the German army, which does not attach much importance to air combat and lacks excellent pilots.

The F15 fighter jets exported by the Chinese Empire to Germany and other allied countries, the engine standard is still in the era of F4 fighters, there is no exhaust pipe, and after the engine is started, it is full of smoke and blocks the view, and at the same time, the F15 engine used by the Chinese Imperial Air Force is air-cooled, while the exported one is water-cooled.

This water-cooled engine in air combat, as long as it is slightly damaged, soon the engine smokes and the fighter falls.

The German pilots suffered until Hitra gave the Junkers II fighter designed by the Junkers Aircraft Factory, directly improving the exhaust pipe and water cooling technical problems.

Therefore, since the German General Staff Headquarters had the Junkers-2 fighter, it no longer imported the castrated version of the F15 fighter of the Chinese Empire.

However, now that the production capacity of the Junkers II fighter is insufficient, the battlefield situation no longer allows the German army to delay, and the blitzkrieg plan must be implemented as soon as possible, so the German General Staff Headquarters had to place another order to the Chinese Empire.

Originally, the Chinese Empire planned to sell more advanced F16 fighters to the German Empire, but unfortunately, the German army thought that the F16 would not be needed with the Junkers-2 fighter at that time, so it rejected the kindness of the Chinese Empire at that time. Now the German army wants to buy F16 fighters again, and the Chinese Imperial Military will not sell them.

It was only after German diplomats repeatedly stressed the alliance that the Imperial Chinese military relented and agreed to continue exporting F15s to the German Empire.

We all know how pitiful the F15 fighter is, and the German military is so hard that it doesn't want it, and finally has to endure the pain again and pay dozens of times more to buy 1,500 F15 castrated fighters.

However, after Li Weiguo learned of this, he once again secretly ordered the military to delay the delivery time.

Li Weiguo believes that Germany will make another big move, because Germany has developed and mass-produced thousands of Junker-2 fighters, but it has never been put into battle, and there is clearly some conspiracy in this.

Li Weiguo did not allow the German Empire to become strong, and hoped that for this reason, the European countries would maintain the balance of power on the battlefield and pit the European countries as much as possible.

Guessing that Germany had a big operation, it deliberately stuck the delivery time of these 1500 F15 fighters.

Both Wilhelm II and Hitra went crazy and repeatedly asked the Chinese Empire to deliver the goods as soon as possible, but unfortunately it was useless, and the Chinese Empire always found all kinds of excuses to delay.

In the end, Wilhelm II had to pay extra overtime for the workers of the Chinese Empire, and paid a total of 30 million yuan in "bail" on three occasions.

This is like the Chinese military in later generations spent $20 million from Ukraine to buy an empty shell of the Varyag aircraft carrier, which is already very expensive, but when they passed through Turkey, they did not let them pass, forcing them to have no choice but to pay $1 billion "bail" to be released.

Today's German Empire, just like China in later generations, has no choice but to pay an additional 30 million yuan for immediate delivery from the Chinese Empire.

30 million yuan, the purchasing power in this era, equivalent to 3 billion US dollars in later generations, properly tricked Germany again.

The military of the Chinese Empire has received such a large amount of money, and it is a little uneasy not to deliver the goods, just like the later generations of Russia repeatedly delayed the delivery of aircraft carriers to India, and repeatedly increased the price, and India did not want it.

Li Weiguo himself felt embarrassed, so he nodded and let him go.

In April 1897, 1,500 F15 fighters arrived, and the Germans had 2,000 Junkers at this time.

During this time, the German army had been passively beaten, with Allied planes and tanks raging and victories on the battlefield.

As soon as the plane arrived, Wilhelm II couldn't wait to prepare for the implementation of the blitzkrieg plan.

General Stephen personally took command, Hitler served as a staff officer, and more than 2 million German troops quickly launched a counteroffensive.

In Verdun, in the upper reaches of the Maas, in the Mart region, there was a right-wing breakthrough chosen by General Stephen, and another left-wing breakthrough point was in Meizer, in the lower Maas.

The Germans quietly deployed 3,000 Krupp III tanks opposite Marr, 1,000 Krupp III tanks and 1,000 T23 tanks in the direction of Meiser, and 3,000 fighters deployed in the rear Val, which took off at 4 a.m. and arrived at Marr and Meizer before dawn to cooperate with the German counteroffensive on all fronts.

The roar of the tank cluster woke up the British and French troops in the trenches, which was the first time in human history that thousands of tanks were used together, and instantly frightened the British and French friends.

In front of the position of the British and French forces was a large number of radium areas, but the German army had too many tanks, and they directly crushed them at any cost, and soon broke through the radium area.

The Anglo-French army had more than 300,000 troops in Marr and more than 120,000 in Meizer, and although they had built a large number of fortifications, when the German Krupp tanks drove over, the British and French troops suddenly found that their anti-tank rifles could not penetrate the opposing tanks.

The Anglo-French heavy artillery group opened fire quickly, and was quickly spotted by thousands of German fighters in the sky, and after a wave of concentrated dives, the Anglo-French heavy artillery group was quickly destroyed.

Without artillery support, it was difficult to hold the positions of the British and French forces in Marr and Meizer, and the commander-in-chief of the British and French forces learned of the news, and hurriedly mobilized a large number of reinforcements from Verdun, and at the same time urgently dispatched more than 2,000 fighters from Verdun.

The two sides then broke out fierce air battles over Marr and Meizer, and the German planes had been pressed and beaten by British and French planes for half a year, and this day was finally disgraced, shooting down more than 1,600 British and French fighters in one go, and only losing more than 600 of them, and the remaining British and French fighters saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned around and fled.

Without fighter support, the Anglo-French forces at Marr and Meizer could not hold back the German steel torrent, and later that day, Marr and Meizer were lost.

The remnants of the Anglo-French forces quickly withdrew from the Maas River, and as a result, the bridge was originally planned to be blown up (the bridge had been built to attack the Germans), but the Anglo-French forces on the mission were attacked by a small group of German troops who had infiltrated the opposite bank in the cold, and the bridge could not be blown up, and the German tanks and infantry quickly captured the bridge.

That night, the Germans crossed the Maas River from Marles and Meizer respectively, and then divided into two routes, directly penetrating the left and right flanks of the main Anglo-French forces at Verdun.

There were more than 2 million Anglo-French troops on the Verdun front, and it was planned to launch another large-scale battle, which would definitely destroy the German defensive positions on the opposite side and drive the German army out of France.

When it was learned that the Germans had crossed the Maas River from Marr and Meizer, the British and French high command was instantly stunned. (To be continued.) )
