Chapter 16 Use me in a fierce battle, and you will win with me
Hitler naturally didn't know the situation of the famous generals during World War II at this moment, whether their lives were leisurely or difficult, anyway, Hitler felt that he was about to be unable to hold on.
The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the French were determined to retake the second line of positions, using the support units of the most important group of fortresses of Douaumont in this direction, which caused the German lines in this direction to increase the pressure and be on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, German reinforcements also joined the second line of defense in time, and the second line of defense was temporarily stabilized.
Hitler did not know how long he held out on the ground, one day at a time, every day on the brink of life and death.
"Roll call!" Hitler straightened his neck and roared hoarsely, the earthworm-like veins were terrifying: "Brute, Weykrich......"
After some roll call, one of his platoons, plus him, only nine people remained, and the rest of them were forever buried in a foreign land.
The remaining eight people are Manniu, Weiklich, Gaskier, Chubby the machine gunner, Bald head who knows some medical skills, Wharton who reads Nietzsche's philosophy anytime and anywhere even on the tragic battlefield, and Wallenstein, whose combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a brute bull, according to Wallenstein himself, his ancestor is the famous god of war Wallenstein in history.
Wallenstein is a very famous god of war in Europe, similar to Lu Bu in China.
There is also the last person, Dunnis, who looks ordinary and ordinary, but Hitler knows that there are some ways for Dunnis to survive the tragic battlefield, and attaches great importance to protecting himself, and there are a lot of ghost ideas, once the French used poison gas, everyone used "diapers" to cover their noses, only he split the watermelon in half and buried his head in it, so that he didn't have to smell his "diaper".
In positional warfare, the concept of time became very blurred, and Hitler did not know how long they held out, anyway, they charged when the commander ordered them to charge, and they held on if the commander ordered them to hold on, if the human form was like a puppet.
"Look, what's that!"
The soldiers shouted in horror, and Hitler looked at it, only to see countless lumps of steel rushing in front of the enemy position, rampage, and any obstacle in front of him could be easily broken.
"Wipe me, monster?"
"This is God's secret weapon to the French, let's run!"
The German commander hurriedly stopped the panic of the troops and ordered: "Shoot me, don't be afraid." ”
The German soldiers opened fire, but the steel lumps kept their speed and charged at them.
Hitler knew that this was not God's secret weapon, but just a tank.
"These tanks are very primitive and fragile, not as hard as those tanks from a decade later, but our rifles still can't hit the armor of the enemy's tanks, what should we do?" Hitler frowned and thought bitterly.
The enemy tanks rushed to the front of the position, followed by many French soldiers, and in the face of the "monsters" that could not be killed, many German soldiers smeared oil on the soles of their feet and began to run back. There were also some Germans who held their positions, but they were helpless in the face of these iron bumps, whether it was machine gun fire or grenade explosion, it was useless.
"Grenades? That's right, cluster grenades! "Hitler suddenly remembered how the Chinese fought Japanese tanks during the Japanese invasion of China, one grenade would not work, then I tied ten grenades together, and the power of the explosion could blow up the enemy tracks, or shock the people inside the tank.
Hitler bundled up a bunch of grenades, shouted and rolled out of the trench, and slowly crawled towards the driving tank, miraculously, the rain of bullets of the two armies did not hit Hitler, a string of bullets hit, Hitler rolled over and rolled into a shell crater like lightning, and the enemy tank was closer!
As the tank approached, Hitler instantly stuffed the cluster grenade into the tank track, then rolled into the shell crater next to him.
"Boom!"
The monster, which was like a flood beast, stopped all movements in an instant and quietly stayed in front of the position. The Germans were stunned, and did not expect such a way to deal with this monster.
At the same time, everyone admired Hitler for a moment, this Hitler was not only brave in battle, but also intelligent, and his actions can be said to have saved hundreds of lives.
Others followed Hitler's example and trapped the grenades in a bunch, or threw them, or crawled next to the tank, and blew it up.
For a while, everyone was not afraid of tanks, and there were not many tanks in this attack, only a dozen, some tanks had already rushed into the trenches of the second line of defense, and some tanks had rushed to the front of the trenches.
The Germans had just let the tanks lie on their stomachs, but the enemy also rushed into the trenches, and the two armies fought a hand-to-hand battle. The battle lasted until night, when the French army was repulsed.
At night, the stars were shining, and all the stars in the Milky Way were revealed, not obscured by the smoke of the shells.
Bock came to Hitler's position, and Bock said: "Crown Prince Wilhelm and I talked on the phone, and he said that he had behaved well with you, and promoted you to captain and commanded the 6th Company, and the former company commander of the 6th Company, Spdanton, was transferred to work in the General Staff. At the same time, he was not very satisfied with our battle today, because the French army's most important fortress group, Duaumont, was about to lose its position, and the French army could no longer take care of the second line of defense, so they mobilized the main force to Duaumont, and it can be said that there were not many French troops left in the defense line of Mont Mortom, but we almost lost our own line yesterday, so we were very disappointed with our troops. He ordered us to attack boldly, and that we must take Mount Mortom in three days, and I have decided to mobilize our troops tomorrow, mainly at this point in your position, to concentrate on attacking the third line of French defense, your task is very heavy, are you confident? ”
Hitler replied loudly: "Use me in a vicious war, and I will win!" Tomorrow I will meet you on the third line of defense. ”
"Oh? So confident? Bock raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, you'll find out tomorrow." Hitler smiled faintly.
The next day, on the German position, a "strange thing" appeared, which attracted everyone's attention, and this "strange thing" was actually an earthen tank made by Hitler. The tanks used by the enemy reminded Hitler that during the War of Resistance Against Japan, didn't the Eighth Route Army make some earthen tanks to blow up the enemy's pillbox turrets?
This time, Hitler received the order to occupy the third line of defense, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and in one night, he processed and produced two earthen tanks.
These two earthen tanks were not small, two meters wide and twenty meters long, and were nailed into a rectangular shelf from a dozen pieces of wood, under which were several reels, and the shelves were covered with seven or eight layers of quilts dipped in water and sand, which could not be penetrated by enemy bullets and grenades.
"Action!" With a wave of Hitler's hand, more than 30 people belonging to his company took out their shovels and began to dig trenches, which were more than two meters wide enough to lay down earthen tanks. Everyone hid in earthen tanks, constantly digging into the French positions, and gradually moved away from the German positions.
The French army panicked, and in the face of the earthen tanks, they were helpless, whether they were rifles or grenades, they could not stop the advance of the earthen tanks, but it was too extravagant to let the rear artillery bombard them.
Finally, the front-line commander gritted his teeth and called up the rear artillerymen.
"Woo......"
"Be careful, heavy artillery." Hitler and they were hiding in the earthen tank to carry out tunnel operations, but they didn't expect the French to carry out heavy artillery bombardment on them, but it was useless, their tunnel and the earthen tank were only two meters wide, how could the French heavy artillery be so accurate that it could just hit them, Hitler couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
"This Hitler, there are quite a lot of ghost ideas."
On the German position, Bock shook his head and said with a smile that he was personally on the front line and commanded the battle in this battle. In fact, Bock's military rank is captain, and it stands to reason that a captain is just a company commander and deputy battalion commander in the army, so how can Bock command a person at the level of regiment commander and brigade commander?
To explain this reason is simple, and that is the General Staff.
Since Scharnhorst reformed the General Staff, the role of the General Staff has become more and more important, and the role of the General Staff has played a decisive role in the Prussian-Danish War, the Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War.
Bock is the chief of the operations department of the staff of the Second Army, and his uncle is Falkingham, and his own performance is also very good and respected, so his status in the Second Army is at least equivalent to a division commander.
"What would I do if the enemy used this method?"
Bock thought about it differently and found that he didn't have a particularly good way: "There is only one way, decisively order the whole army to attack and annihilate them!" ”
Yes, Bock thought of a way that could restrain Hitler's earthen tanks from digging tunnels.
The French army did this, but probably because the main force was transferred to the Duaumont Line and was not here, the attack was not strong, and the French army only made a small counterattack against it, and finally repelled the French counterattack with the support of Hitler and others relying on Turkish tanks and the support of the German army in the rear.
Hitler secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his tactic was actually afraid of the enemy's large-scale offensive, if the enemy attacked on a large scale, his earthen tank would be like a flat boat in the sea, subverting and submerging at any time, and it would be impossible for the German army behind to protect him.
He was right, the French army on this line of defense was not enough to launch a large-scale offensive, and could only defend, and his tactics were mainly aimed at the bunker fortresses that could only defend but had no ability to counterattack.
The earth tanks continued to advance, and they were only a hundred meters away from the enemy's position, and a hundred meters could launch a superior charge against the enemy's position!
"All the troops are attacking!"
Bock gave the order, and on the long thousand-meter position, the Germans attacked with all their troops, and many of them ran along the two tunnels dug by Hitler towards the enemy positions.
Hitler's two earthen tank units dug all the way to the noses of the French positions, and they dug very fast, and the front were all fierce men of infinite strength.
"Rush!" Several cluster grenades were thrown from the tunnel, and the reinforcements finally joined Hitler along the tunnel, which was already about ten meters away from the French position, and decisively ordered to abandon the earthen tanks to storm the enemy's position.
Tens of thousands of people fought desperately at the foot of Mount Mortom.
"It's okay." Bock told Hitler that he took the lead and took a Mauser and fought the enemy with a bayonet.
"Very good, haha, you can help me apply for a Blue Max medal."
"Don't think about the Blue Max Medal, this battle is commanded by me, and the medal will be issued to me." Bock stabbed a French soldier to death as he spoke, and he was definitely not the type of scholar who sat in his office and talked about the war.
"If you want to rob me of my medal, ask me for the bayonet in my hand first." Hitler feigned anger.
