A few days later, Yang Liansheng received news from Germany that Hitler had successfully occupied Poland, and that the Polish capital Warsaw had surrendered 120,000 Polish troops, and that a country with more than 30 million men and 1 million troops had been declared extinct in just one month.

Poland's rapid defeat and backward military concept were an important factor. A large number of new weapons, such as rapid-fire machine guns, tanks, submarines, aircraft carriers, and radios, were introduced one after another, and the history of warfare began to enter the era of mechanization.

But almost nothing is known about the methods of combat and its theory of mechanized warfare of the Polish army. Ironically, during the war, a large number of Polish cavalry apparently did not understand the power and ability of the German tanks, and they actually attacked the German tanks with their sabers and spears, but they were hit by intensive fire from tank guns.

Although the Polish army was brave, it was the flesh and blood and the iron body of the tank, and it was obviously the latter who was the king of today's land warfare.

When the cavalry group of the Polish army was completely pulped into pulp by the German tanks, the cavalry, the pride of the ancient cold weapon war, gradually left the stage of war.

In the German attack on Poland, Zhang Mingyu's blitzkrieg of plagiarizing Gudelhi was brought into play, showing the power of the tank corps to carry out a large-depth and rapid assault with the coordination of the air force.

Of course, if the power of the tank armored group wants to be displayed, it must obtain air supremacy, otherwise the tank corps can only operate at night, and Zhang Mingyu is also waiting for an opportunity, and his air force obviously does not have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the air force of the army at this time.

However, Hitler's subsequent decision made Zhang Mingyu have to launch an attack on Yue Kou in advance, because Britain and France and other countries had already declared war against Germany two days after Germany invaded Poland, of course, Zhang Mingyu knew that with Germany's current strength, it would not be a problem to defeat France and drive the British army back to the British Isles.

Zhang Mingyu asked Yang Liansheng, who was far away in Germany, to immediately tell Hitler that in the future battle against France, if the armored forces quickly reach the English Channel, they must not hold the idea of preserving their strength, but must firmly block the strait and block the British reinforcements, so that the 400,000 British and French Allied troops surrounded in the Dunkirk area of France will not be able to escape, and as long as the main force of the 400,000 British and French allied forces can be completely annihilated in one fell swoop, it will change the entire history of World War II.

Hitler was obviously surprised by Zhang Mingyu's suggestion, but he still quipped: "If the war is really as General Zhang Mingyu said, I will not hesitate to annihilate the hateful Anglo-French army." ”

World War II was about to break out, Zhang Mingyu decided that he must defeat the army as soon as possible and recover North China and Northeast China, so that he could have the strength to form an alliance with the Soviet Union and Germany, and only when Zhang Mingyu had sufficient strength could he ensure that the agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union would take effect, so that Hitler could deal with Britain and France with confidence.

And he and the Soviet Union will unite to deal with Yueben, so Zhang Mingyu decided to carry out a general mobilization of the whole army, so he issued a pre-war preparation order to the whole army and the base areas.

Because the Reading Force is deeply supported by the people in the base area, the local people have helped to transport materials and equipment, and the arsenal is also working overtime to produce weapons and ammunition, and the entire base area is now in an emergency preparation.

Before launching a large-scale counterattack against the Yue army, Zhang Mingyu decided to take Suiyuan first, cut off the Pingsui Railway of the Yue army, and prepare for the counterattack on Datong. Due to the complicated situation in Shanxi, the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army, the puppet army, the Yue Army, and the intricacies, Zhang Mingyu decided to recover Suiyuan first, Datongdi, and then concentrate on recovering Shanxi!

After the decision, Zhang Mingyu rushed to Baotou in person with the guard battalion. At this time, the guard battalion was already fully equipped with cars and did not need to march on foot.

At this time, the more than 20,000 officers and men of the Third Division stationed in Baotou had all changed into German-style equipment and brand-new green uniforms, and after a half-day trip, Zhang Mingyu and his convoy finally arrived in Baotou, and Lai San and several regiments of the Third Division had already been waiting outside the city for a long time.

I saw several people saluting in unison: "Military seat!" It's been a great journey! ”

Lai San stepped forward: "Military seat!" Long time no see! ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu opened his hands, the two of them embraced, and Zhang Mingyu asked, "How are the brothers feeling now?" ”

"The brethren are waiting to start the war so that they can fight the devils!" Lai Sanyi waved his hand and said, "The military seat should hurry into the city!" I asked the cooking class to prepare a big pot of stewed pork! ”

"Good! It's been a long time since I've eaten a fragrant pork stew! Zhang Mingyu made a gesture and said, "Brothers, enter the city!" ”

Beiping is the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

Terauchi Shouichi took a telegram and said: "Ishihara-kun, the base camp has approved your proposal, and now you are fully responsible for the defense of our North China Front Army, and you are fully responsible for dealing with the Shina Reading Army!" ”

"Hay!" Ishihara suddenly closed himself and stood upright.

"I don't know how Ishihara-kun plans to deal with Zhang Mingyu and his reading force?" Shouichi Terauchi asked.

Ishihara's little eyes turned and said: "The newly developed bacteriological bomb of our army's Unit 731 is estimated to be usable, if Your Excellency the Commander can say that General Hideki Tojo is mobilized and Unit 731 is used, the virus infection rate of the bacteriological bomb is 100 percent, and then our army can win without a fight." ”

"Ishihara-kun, will our army violate the Naiva Convention by doing this? Shouichi Terauchi asked with some concern.

"Don't be afraid of this, who will offend our empire for the sake of the people. As long as the people who dare to resist are eliminated, victory will belong to our imperial army, and the common prosperity of Greater East Asia will be realized! Ishihara said with a fantastical smile.

"To the West! Ishihara-kun, you're right, just do as you say! I'll report your thoughts to Tojo-kun! Terauchi Shou nodded and said.

Baotou, the headquarters of the 3rd Division.

Zhang Mingyu stood in front of the map and asked, "How many enemy troops are there in Suiyuan now?" ”

Lai San pointed to Suiyuan and replied: "The devil had withdrawn from Suiyuan half a year ago, and now there is less than one puppet army division and two cavalry battalions left in Suiyuan City. ”

"Oh, the little devil seems to want to give up Suiyuan!" Zhang Mingyu said coldly.

"It can be said to give up, but although there are not many puppet troops in Suiyuan, and their combat effectiveness is not very good, they have built a lot of pillboxes and turrets along the railway line, and they must first sweep away these bunkers and turrets on the periphery, and then the main force of our army can successfully take Suiyuan." Lai San pointed to the map and said.

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will personally lead the team to set off to uproot all the devil strongholds on the periphery of Suiyuan, and then you will lead the main force of the Third Division to follow." ”

"Junza, I'll do this kind of trivial thing! You lead the troops to follow. Lai San persuaded.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, just do what I say!" Zhang Mingyu said with a grim expression.

"Yes!" Lai San stood upright, he absolutely obeyed Zhang Mingyu's orders, even if Zhang Mingyu asked him to die, he would not frown.
