Chapter 267: Original Codebook
In fact, Hitler also tested Li Mo, and now that Li Mo has the same idea as himself, the matter is settled.
Limer's plan for raiding Denmark and Norway was handed over to Field Marshal Keitel for execution.
You must know that Denmark and Norway in history can be easily taken by Germany, and Germany's occupation of Denmark is a miracle in the history of human warfare.
The historical "Wiesel exercise" was in the early morning of April 9, 1940, when the Danes were still asleep, and German bombers suddenly appeared over Copenhagen. At the same time, the German troops, concentrated on the German-Danish border, suddenly launched an offensive against Denmark. The German landing force also moved from the Danish islands of Zealand and Firth; Landing at strategic points such as Falster Island. The German minister presented an ultimatum to the Danish king early that morning......
The aged King Christian X hastily convened a cabinet meeting, and after a heated argument, accepted the German ultimatum and ordered the guards, who had fired a few shots, to lay down their arms. At 8 a.m. that day, the Danes were overwhelmed when they heard the shocking news on the radio that "Denmark has accepted German protection." In this way, it took only 4 hours for Germany to occupy Denmark. Norway was to resist until June 20.
In this case, Germany could not have taken Denmark and Norway!
Hitler went on to ask:
"Then my General Li Mo, if you come to be the commander of the former enemy, how many troops do you need?"
"Great Führer, I need 3 paratrooper divisions, and I also need the full assistance of the German fleet, including an air corps, and the ground forces are one or two armored armies."
Hitler was silent again for a moment. looked at the map carefully for a while, and then nodded at Li Mo:
"Okay, my General Li Mo, you go and prepare, your 7th Panzer Army will be the main force to attack Denmark and Norway, you will be responsible for commanding the former enemy, and Rommel will stay in the general headquarters! At the same time, you and Rommel are responsible for setting up these two sets of commands, and the order will follow. ”
It seems that Hitler entrusted the occupation of Denmark and Norway to Limer and Rommel. This is a big challenge for the newly formed Seventh Panzer Army, and for Li Mo and Rommel, it is also a combination of opportunities and challenges. The battle of the large corps is not as simple as it is said. The staff corps alone requires hundreds of staff officers who have gone through actual combat, and it is very difficult to train this qualified staff officer, and it cannot be done quickly, and academic qualifications and practice are indispensable.
When Limer received Hitler's order, he immediately rushed to Warsaw. Prepare to set up the command organ of the "Wiesel Military Exercise" with Rommel first. Some of the Air Force and Navy staff officers who needed it were immediately withdrawn. Li Mo's other plan was the three parachute divisions of Germany. Germany now has 7 paratrooper divisions, and this paratrooper is not something that can be trained in a few months, since Li Mo has no way to train German paratroopers immediately. I was going to enrich myself with the paratroopers of the Wehrmacht. Of course, Li Mo played Liu Bei's borrowing from Jingzhou, and he had the calculation of not repaying the loan.
Rommel was of course very happy to see that Li Mo had won a combat mission for the Seventh Panzer Army, and as soon as Li Mo returned to Warsaw, he immediately discussed it with Li Mo.
"Li Mo, do you think we put the headquarters there?"
"Hamburg, where the German High Seas Fleet is stationed, my commander, is there a more suitable place than that?"
"Of course, Hamburg is of course the most suitable place to command, and the role of the navy and air force in this operation is very large, and the navy will not only be responsible for transporting troops, but also send a large number of submarines and capital ships to prevent possible reinforcements from Britain and France."
Britain and France also reinforced Norway in history, but they were really not Germany's opponents, and they were forced to withdraw their troops, and Germany completely occupied Norway, and now Li Mo can not relax his vigilance either, and Rommel's suggestion is very timely.
"My army commander, I completely agree with you, in addition, in this battle, I plan to use a large number of paratroopers, and we will send paratroopers now, so I asked Yuan to take three divisions of paratroopers, and after we occupy Denmark and Norway, we will directly integrate these three paratrooper divisions into our German battle sequence."
"Ahh Deputy Commander, this can't be! Those guys in the Wehrmacht will definitely not agree, if you can really integrate the three paratrooper divisions of the Wehrmacht into our German army, it will be equivalent to pressing a pair of wings on our German army, and we can use the long-range raid ability of the paratroopers at any time, we can seize any strategic stronghold of the enemy, commander, do you really have a way to get those three paratrooper divisions? ”
"Hehe, my teacher, I really have a way to get those Wehrmacht guys to obediently give me the paratrooper division, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it."
"Bet"
……
Berlin newspapers and Britain, France, Denmark and other countries are hyping up the upcoming German military exercises, "Willel Military Exercises." Of course, the news was leaked by Li Mo, the German Seventh Panzer Group is now full of tanks, and there are more than 500 tanks in the No. 4 tank alone, and even the Leopard tank that has just been produced for inspection has a battalion.
There were also 2,600 planes of 2 infantry corps and 2 air corps in cooperation with Li Mo, as well as the movement of a large number of German capital ships, and it was impossible to hide from the enemy's eyes, so Li Mo simply made two exercise plans, the first plan was the real exercise plan, and the second was the campaign plan.
On the other hand, the Soviet Union will completely lose its vigilance, and Germany's elite troops in Poland, more than 300,000 German troops, have all been transferred to the Danish border, which can of course be manifested as a message of peace released by Germany to the Soviet Union.
The High Seas Fleet Commander's Headquarters in the Hamburg Military Port is now the general headquarters of the "Wiesel Military Exercise," Rommel is the general commander of the exercise, and the deputy commander-in-chief is Li Mo. The commander-in-chief of the Danish-Norwegian campaign was, of course, Field Marshal Keitel, but Marshal Keitel was in the Berlin High Command, and the specific command was still the responsibility of the former enemy command.
In order to keep it secret, Li Mo didn't even know about Li Mo's plan, and only a dozen senior German generals knew about this plan.
For the sake of secrecy, Li Mo specially printed a set of code books, which were very simple and primitive, but they could not be deciphered. The method is to pour the German module used for typesetting into a large frame, shake it indiscriminately, and then pick it up casually and typeset it, and then print dozens of books containing all German words, and each unit's telecommunications department will issue one, for example, the message always has the word "I", and the word is on the 20th page of the codebook, the fourth row, the 15th position, then this my number is 200415, all the messages sent by Li Mo are all digital, and this oldest code is completely indecipherable.
