This is the situation when Rommel the Traveler first came to war, in a word, he still has to continue to learn about war in the midst of war, even if he has the "Eye of God", it is not omnipotent.

Rommel immediately grabbed the radio headset that his adjutant Wald was carrying, and shouted into the headset:

"Level 1 air defense preparation, more than a hundred enemy aircraft are coming, the direction is northeast, and the distance is fifty kilometers...... Hurry,"

Wald looked at his division commander Rommel in great surprise, he really couldn't understand the division commander who was still squinting and napping just now, and in the blink of an eye, he yelled that more than a hundred enemy planes were coming, could it be that the division commander was sleepwalking, or the division commander was asleep.

Wald was in a hurry, and hurriedly took Rommel's hand and shouted:

"Division commander, division commander, you wait for the order, there are no enemy planes now! I really didn't have any enemy planes......"

How did Rommel explain to his adjutant? Unable to explain it, he could only hurriedly say to Wald:

"My Sixth Sense Tells Me ......"

The sixth sense is not suspenseful, at least it is not beyond Wald's cognition, some people's sixth sense is particularly strong and accurate, of course, it cannot be explained by scientific reason, this kind of person can only be a person who is favored by God.

Rommel continued to look at the army's second line of defense with the "Eye of God", and immediately smiled, the second line of defense of the French army was still quiet, they actually did not organize an attack at this time, the French army on the opposite side was an armored division plus two infantry divisions, and an armored division had at least 200 tanks.

As long as the French tanks and infantry attacked at this time, and they had more than a hundred aircraft to cover them, Rommel's beachhead would definitely not be able to hold it, because Rommel's artillery would not dare to fire artillery to support him when the enemy was attacking, and as soon as they opened fire, they would immediately become a live target for French aircraft.

Under such circumstances, it would be a dream for a light infantry regiment of Rommel to withstand the attack of an armored division of the French army, even if Rommel was a traverser. It's a pity that the French army actually waited for the air force to finish bombing before attacking, maybe the French army on the opposite side wanted to pick up "dead fish, they were simply too stupid and whimsical."

In this case, Rommel did not hesitate any longer, and he commanded loudly in the trenches:

"All machine guns are ...... against the air" (machine gun to air fire is when one person holds the machine gun on the top of his head and the other person is responsible for shooting. ）

The Germans are equipped with a lot of machine guns, each squad has an MG34 with an effective firing range of 1000 meters, a rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute, such intensive firepower, it is an absolute nightmare for low-altitude bombing aircraft, and a slightly higher aircraft, MG34 is powerless, but the 88-mm anti-aircraft guns on the opposite shore can support the beachhead!

Originally, Rommel wanted to personally operate the machine gun to prepare for aerial fire, but several German soldiers forcibly pulled him into a command post left by the French army, which was about 20 square meters, with steel plates on top and about two meters of dirt, such a command could resist the bombardment of one or two 50-kilogram aerial bombs, and if it was a 500-kilogram aerial bomb, one shot would completely destroy the command post.

A few minutes later, there was a dull "buzz" in the sky, but the enemy planes were not yet visible, and the roar of the aircraft engines was certainly faster than the propeller planes transmitted.

Wald thought that Rommel was talking nonsense, but when he heard the roar of the enemy planes clearly, he was really stunned by the sixth sense of their division commander Rommel, and Wald couldn't help but ask himself secretly in his heart, is there really a person in this world who is favored by God? You can actually use your sixth sense to accurately sense the enemy's air attack, oh! O my God! It's just amazing, it's incredible. All right! Walder actually wanted to say -- this is not scientific!

"Wald, don't be stunned, call for air force support immediately, it will take about twenty minutes for our planes from the front line to arrive!"

"What if the Air Force can't send planes to support it? What shall we do? ”

"Then it's all on your own, call for support!"

Wald immediately used a radio station to inform the division headquarters that the division commander Rommel had ordered him to request air force support, and the division headquarters would immediately telegraph the air force, and no one could say for sure how long it would take for the air force to arrive, because the German planes deployed in the theater at this time had also a heavy combat mission, and the German troops on the ground were in a mess with the British and French forces, and the planes on both sides in the sky were also desperately fighting for air supremacy for their own side.

……

The Berlin War Hall of the German Chancellery, since the beginning of the French War, Hitler and a group of senior German commanders have changed their offices here, and the contradiction between Hitler and the Wehrmacht at this time is not prominent, because Hitler did not intervene too much in the Wehrmacht.

War reports and telegrams from the front were collected here, and when Rommel's 7th Panzer Division sent a telegram requesting air support for its own strength on the Meuse, the telecommunications room immediately sent Rommel's telegram to Hitler.

Hitler had a special explanation, as long as it was a telegram about Rommel, it would be delivered to him as soon as possible, and Guderian, the commander of the 19th Panzer Army, would enjoy the same treatment. Rommel's other brother, Manstein, has been secretly demoted by Mingsheng and is now the **** army commander, I don't know why Hitler didn't trust Manstein so much, and Rommel didn't know the reason, but Rommel knew that Manstein had never opposed Hitler from beginning to end.

After reading Rommel's telegram, Hitler was pleasantly surprised to find that his confidant Rommel had actually arrived on the other side of Sedan a day earlier, and if Rommel could successfully cross the Meuse, it would cause a panicked retreat of the Anglo-French forces that had entered Belgium and the Netherlands, and then Germany would launch a fierce pursuit battle, and then the main forces of the Anglo-French forces would collapse or be annihilated.

"Well, Rommel was really a general who did not disappoint me, and ordered Catherine to send as many planes as possible to support Rommel's 7th Panzer Division across the river...... Oh, send an air defense division!. ”

(An aviation division has about 320-500 aircraft, under the jurisdiction of 1-3 aviation regiments, 164 aircraft each, under the jurisdiction of the aviation regiment under the jurisdiction of 4 flying groups, each brigade of 40 combat aircraft, the fourth group is a training and replenishment regiment.) ）

Hitler did not consult Air Marshal Goering at all, and although Goering was unhappy, he still did not dare to disobey Hitler's order, and he immediately telegraphed Catherine, commander of the First Air Force, to send air support.

This is the advantage of a dictatorship, his orders can be carried out in the most timely manner, and once his orders are correct, then this correct order will evolve into a huge result, otherwise it will bring endless disasters and cause irreparable losses to one's own side.

Catherine, commander of the First Air Force, was definitely an excellent commander, and his tactical cultivation was quite good, although he was an air force general, but he was also proficient in the tactics of the army, and when he saw Rommel's telegram of preparing to strengthen the Meuse River and ask for air force support, he immediately understood Rommel's incomparable important role in crossing the Meuse River -- cutting off the enemy's rear route, encircling it in a roundabout way, and Germany's "Operation Sickle" was a complete success.
