Chapter 11: Operation Shenhel

There's no time, there's really no time!

The two days were spent to get acquainted with each other, and Li Qi and the three team leaders repeatedly reviewed the information.

The source of the intelligence was divided into two parts, the intelligence department of the army group provided the number of the defensive line of the Allied positions on the opposite side, some very detailed maps, and the spies hidden by the Central Powers there; The other is that Li Qi has been successful in his own labor in the past half a month.

"Our route has been scouted repeatedly, and only two places on the way to our destination are in high danger, and the rest are not dangerous unless they are particularly unlucky." Li Qi pointed to the map on the desktop with his hand, focused on two positions in a row, and said: "The fifty commandos will be divided into three groups, and I will personally lead the attack team ......"

The same briefing Li Qi has done many times, nothing more than to impress several team leaders, and then ask the team leader to repeatedly make briefings with his own team members.

Richie was more puzzled and regrettable that he actually submitted two plans, in addition to the one for regular military operations, the other was a special operation for infiltration in makeup, but the plan for infiltrating in makeup was rejected.

Something that cannot be understood, but definitely exists. Before the war, European countries signed a treaty that stipulated that soldiers could not wear each other's uniforms, and that armies could not disguise themselves as civilians to attack each other.

Now that the war has been going on for more than two years, and it has reached the point of life and death, neither side has any intention of tearing up the treaty signed before the war, at least not the two articles of sneak attacks in each other's uniforms and attacks in disguise as civilians.

Li Qi must not understand why with the thinking of an Easterner, but it is not so difficult to understand if he uses the thinking of a Westerner.

The war in Europe is basically not a war of annihilation, but a war that contributes to the subsequent political contest, so a rule of the game will be followed.

At that time, the emphasis was on not attacking the commander of the array line who did not deliberately attack the place, so as to prevent the chaos after the soldiers of the array line lost their command. This kind of thinking is also plagued by the pride of the aristocracy, and the more honor-oriented the army, the more repulsive it is.

Attacks carried out without civilian clothing are based on the consideration that if either side takes such an action, it will trigger retaliation from the other side, and it will no longer respect the rules of engagement against civilians, which will inevitably lead to a horrific massacre of civilians.

Considering that it is now 1916, the tactical mode of the battlefield is still plane advance or oblique array, which is actually not much better than the combat method of the array line, so the battlefield is filled with human lives, and it is the norm to kill and wound hundreds of thousands of people in a battle.

Over the past two years, both the Entente and the Central Powers have been looking for military reforms and innovations, but in reality the results have not been significant. After research, the Entente came up with strategies and tactics that were inclined to defense, while the German forces on the side of the Allies were more inclined to offensive strategies and tactics, and different concepts would be formed to have something to do with the fact that the Entente was resisting aggression and the Allies were invading.

The German army played the "storm assault" and tended to take the lead militarily, but not many people really paid attention to it now, and even the German army itself was trying with the mentality of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

However, Li Qi knew that the German army had created a precedent for modern special warfare by playing "Storm Assault", and although their improvised assault team was relatively rushed in time, the team was basically all veterans who had been fighting for two years, and they were still elites transferred from a group army.

"As long as there are no big tactical problems, the chances of success are not low."

"You have to know that the general has great expectations for your actions."

"Understood, sir!"

"Don't let us down."

"Yes! Sir! ”

Li Qi hung up the phone on the other side before putting down the microphone in his hand.

It's the microphone, the current phone, the speaker and the microphone are separated, and the appearance is a little weird.

The one who had just spoken to Litchie on the phone was Ludwig. Baker was the captain's staff officer at the division headquarters who was in charge of liaising with him.

After a phone call, Li Qi found that he had become a member of the "Operation Shenhel", he was only responsible for directing the battle on the spot, and there were many more direct officers under the auspices of the original general.

Any country has the existence of mixed seniority and merit-grabbing, and the Second German Reich naturally could not avoid this phenomenon, and Li Qi could not resist when faced with this situation, and even he was happy because there were some more characters who might steal credit, indicating that after rigorous research, it was found that the "Shenhull Operation" formulated by him had a great possibility of success.

With mixed feelings, Li Qi threw himself into more intense work. Actually, there is nothing too complicated, it is to constantly contact the members of the commando team and then take as much time as possible to answer their questions.

"Captain." Joseph. Dietrich, a relatively stocky-looking man, asked in a rather confused tone: "In other words, all we need to do is fire the shell as fast as possible after seeing the flare, and be sure to hit the pre-set target?" ”

"Private of the second class, you are absolutely right!" Li Qi looked at the private in front of him who would become a general of the Waffen-SS in the Third Reich in the future, and nodded very solemnly: "You are a very important link, and the success or failure of the whole mission depends on you." ”

Joseph. Dietrich immediately assured with nervousness and honor: "Captain, we will not let anyone down!" ”

In fact, Li Qi has repeated similar words many times, and he said to everyone who has a question by saying "You are the most important link in the whole operation", and there is no one who does not feel honored to hear this sentence repeatedly. This is his intention to make the team members understand their importance, which is conducive to making the team members more enthusiastic about the cause, and is also recognized by the team members.

Joseph. Dietrich is now a gunner, but he is not a cannon, but a mortar that was invented after the advent of trench warfare.

As soon as the mortar was invented, it was "evolving" at a rapid pace, and one of the German mortars was operated by four members. Dietrich is a mortar team that is used as a debugging of various angles and the presence of a loader, and his role is very important.

Richie, who was familiar with his team members at any opportunity, didn't know a thing, because the operation report he submitted was so tempting that there was another commando team besides him. The man who commanded the assault team was called ******. Brauchitsch, the members of the commando detachment were selected from the Guards Regiment and even received direct support from the Air Force.
