On the side of the Anglo-American forces, tank crews, especially those of the mechanized corps, could not talk about decent training at all, and this shortcoming was also one of the reasons for the victory of the German army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoOf course, the besieged Anglo-American forces still have a strong will to fight, and they can still fight tenaciously in the case of being surrounded.

In the battle of the Sreach River, due to the improper methods adopted by the command of the 5th Tank Army of the British and American coalition, the German army did not have a hard time fighting.

The various armies they threw into the battle did not coordinate in time when they attacked, nor did the large number of infantry divisions coordinate well with each other.

In this way, the German 11th Panzer Division would be able to finish fighting one army and another army, and when this tank army was weakened to a certain extent, the German Panzer Division could even be withdrawn and used to deal with another tank army of the Anglo-American coalition.

The tactics employed by the Anglo-American forces in the battle of the Shide River, which left the first impression on the Germans, were further proved to be correct in many later circumstances.

In fact, each German attack was preceded by extensive infiltration activities, with a number of detachments and groups "infiltrating" into defensive positions. No one has yet surpassed Army Group B, commanded by Steiner, in mastering this method of warfare.

Although the outer areas were under surveillance, the Germans suddenly appeared in the middle of the German positions, and no one saw them coming, and no one knew when they came.

Even in those places where access is particularly difficult, they can appear in groups and quickly dig bunkers.

True, there was nothing difficult for a single soldier to infiltrate, since the positions of the Anglo-American forces were only weakly defended by forces, and the gap between the support points was large, and the frontage of the division's defense was up to 10 miles wide.

But it was a striking fact that, despite the fact that the Anglo-American troops had watched all night and watched with their eyes wide open, the next morning a whole detachment of German troops had come into the infiltrated defensive positions, bringing all the weapons and ammunition, and digging bunkers.

The technique of this penetration is amazing, there is almost no sound, not a single shot is fired. This infiltration tactic, which was used hundreds of times by the Germans, achieved significant results. The only way to deal with such actions is:

Strengthen the garrison, let the alert soldiers on duty be assigned in depth, and carry out constant patrols, and the most important thing is that there must be sufficient reserves ready at all times to dispatch the invading enemy as soon as the situation arises.

Another characteristic of the German operation was that landing fields should be established wherever and at any time of the year to serve as bases for subsequent attacks, and the landing fields controlled by the Germans were indeed a great threat.

It would be a mistake to ignore these landing fields, or not to clear them in a timely manner. The landing ground of the German troops, which at first was built may be small and almost harmless, but in a short time they can turn it into a very dangerous position, and soon it will become an insurmountable stronghold.

The landing ground occupied by a German company at night would be expanded to at least one regiment the next morning, and by night it would become a heavily armed stronghold, which could have everything needed to make it almost impregnable.

The Germans had set up a landing ground the first night, and no amount of heavy and concentrated artillery fire could drive it away. The most effective way to do this is to carry out a well-organized offensive. The German principle of "building landing fields everywhere" poses a very serious threat, which cannot be underestimated.

The only reliable here, which must be a principle, is this: if the Germans are building a landing field, or if they are building an advance position, they will attack it, and they will attack it immediately, violently, and hesitation will doom to failure.

An hour of delay can lead to a setback of shock, a delay of two hours is a setback, and a day of delay will call for a great tribulation. Even with only one infantry platoon and only one tank, it is necessary to attack!

It is necessary to attack the Anglo-American coalition when it is not firmly established, when it has just been discovered and easy to deal with, when it has not had time to organize its defense, and when its heavy weapons have not yet arrived.

It was too late to delay for a few hours, sluggishness meant defeat, decisive and timely action would have been successful, and the tactics of the Germans were a strange mixture.

Although they were adept at infiltrating operations and were particularly adept at building field fortifications, the rigidity of Anglo-American offensive operations was almost well known.

Stupid repeated assaults on a certain point, formulaic organization of artillery fire, and unskillful selection of terrain for the offensive manifested a lack of creativity and ideological rigidity in the performance of tasks.

The German radio listening team had repeatedly heard such impatient questions: "What are the Germans doing now?" "Only a small number of junior commanders are able to express their personal views when the situation changes.

In many cases, what could have been a successful impact, a breakthrough, or a completed encirclement was not extended in time because the superiors did not take care of what to do.

……

At this point, the 550,000 troops of the Anglo-American coalition in Bobel and the Netherlands were completely separated, with about 300,000 Anglo-American troops in Belgium and about 250,000 Anglo-American troops surrounded in the Netherlands.

The battle to encircle and annihilate this heavy army group immediately began, and the Germans attacked the British and American forces encircled in Belgium from three different directions.

The invincible General Patton finally tasted the bitter fruit, and Eisenhower also fought with all his strength to press a large number of troops to the Maginot Line, and Eisenhower's tactic was a typical "encirclement of Wei to save Zhao".

Although there were one million German troops on the Maginot Line, they were distributed on the defense line of more than 600 kilometers from the Netherlands in the north to the south of France, and the German troops on the Maginot Line were at most 500,000, and these 500,000 German troops were not elite German field troops, but second-line reserves, and many soldiers were veterans of the First World War over 40 years old.

If Eisenhower really broke through the Maginot Line and drove two million troops straight into the German mainland, then the Ruhr industrial area in Germany would immediately turn into powder and the German mainland would be completely destroyed.

Germany's war potential would be dealt a fatal blow, so Rommel could only commit suicide and apologize, and the pressure on Moder increased suddenly, and the focus of the entire war was on the Maginot Line.

And the only thing Rommel can do is to get Germany to give more weapons and ammunition this year. For example, rocket artillery, RPG bazooka, 88 guns, etc. to Moder, although Rommel had more than three million troops in his hands, he could not reinforce Moder and could only rely on Moder himself.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the British and American forces in Belgium continued smoothly, and Rommel's only prayer was that Moder would hold on to the Maginot Line for at least ten days, even seven days, time was victory, and holding on was victory.
