With Metz in the Verdun Fortress area as the axis, the main force of the right wing group entered France through Belgium, followed immediately by troops such as war reserves, the left flank and the middle ground were less strong, if the French soldiers left their fortresses to attack the German-French border, then the German army would retreat, the main German army on the right flank would attack the French from behind, and the artillery of those fortresses would not be able to aim at the German troops appearing in the rear flank. If the French army does not take the initiative to attack the German army on the German-French border, the main force of the right flank will directly rush into French territory, conquer Paris and destroy France.

There are many graphic descriptions that can depict this plan, such as like a giant revolving door, with the German army rotating around the pivot of Metz; For example, like a heavy right hook, it completely knocked France unconscious.

On February 31, 1910, in a small forest on the east side of the Albanian Plateau in the border area between Germany and Belgium, the winter snow had not completely melted, and the biting cold wind was still raging on the earth.

But Corporal Erwin Rommel felt that these steel monsters were the most beautiful sights, surpassing all the magnificence and beauty of nature, and now his mood was simply extremely good, and compared to the nervousness of his comrades, Corporal Rommel was an outlier.

This is the site of the 1st Armored Division of the 1st Panzer Corps of the Imperial Army, and countless tanks, armored vehicles, jeeps, and trucks are parked near this wood. On the way back from receiving supplies from the battalion headquarters with two other crew members, Rommel and the two of them talked and laughed, wearing jacket-style cotton jackets and walking on the thick snow, which eased the tension brought about by the imminent start of the war.

"It's really cold outside, if I want to say we'll stay in the tank all the time, we can laugh at those infantry for entertainment!" Mark hugged his arms and smiled, the inside of the tank is still very warm, and the temperature of the engine is transmitted to the entire combat compartment of the tank through a thin layer of iron plates, which is about the same as a high-power electric heater.

"What's the point of that, when our tanks drive to the Champs-Elysées in Paris, those French beauties will definitely be attracted by the temperament of our tank soldiers, and then we can also enjoy the taste of French women!" Jurgen's thinking was broader and extended to Paris.

"As far as your oil stains are concerned, women will definitely not look at them, this is a world of faces, Jurgen, beautiful women only like handsome guys, such as men like me!" Rommel raised his head confidently, in the 3rd Tank Battalion of the 1st Armored Division, Rommel is one of the most handsome soldiers, but no one in the army will compare the appearance, unless they are good men, they take military technology as the only comparison item, and at this point, Rommel and his team are also proud of the 1st Armored Division.

In previous exercises, Rommel's tank numbered "205" was the ace crew that destroyed the most enemies and suffered the least losses of its own, and their technical level and tacit understanding were envied by all tank crews.

On the 205 tank, John was using the twigs tied together to remove snow from the roof of the tank, and when he saw Rommel and the others coming back, he asked, "What do you have to eat?" ”

Rommel threw John a chocolate candy and pouted, "Three bags of potatoes, brown bread, vegetable leaves, dried sausages, five cans of luncheon meat, ten packs of cigarettes!" ”

"Oh my God!" John laughed and said, "Why is it so generous this time? I remember we were only given a bag of potatoes and two packs of cigarettes when we set off! ”

In contrast, the logistical supply of the armored forces is very good, at least never delayed, and from time to time canned luncheon meat and sausages are provided. In the early days of the war, Germany had relatively sufficient supplies in the country, and the supply of the army was relatively timely, and the soldiers could get good food and sufficient ammunition.

"You're stupid! This means that we are about to march into the army, and without the homeland, it will not be so easy to replenish, and it will not be delivered to you when you are hungry! Sergeant Karl, the commander of the 205th car, walked over with a smile and a curse. He had just returned from a meeting at the battalion headquarters, and it seemed that the offensive was about to begin. Because the battalion headquarters has already begun to deploy detailed offensive tasks there. It looks like at the beginning of the battle for France, things won't be too bad.

Because the task given to Carl and the other car group by the battalion headquarters was very simple, passing through the forest area on several improvised roads opened by the sappers. This seems to be an easy task compared to capturing an area or encircling a certain army.

It doesn't seem to be that cold either, and the tanks are in a decent situation. Each tank was given white paint in the previous few days, but unfortunately due to a shortage of paint, each tank was only allowed to paint the front of the hull and the front of the turret in white for camouflage.

In this way, all the German tanks look ugly, but sometimes there is such helplessness on the battlefield - what looks good seems to be no different from looking for death, and what is not good can survive. Almost no one chooses to look good because all people want to survive.

"How's the meeting going, it's decided to attack? What task did the battalion headquarters give us? Rommel asked.

"Leave on time at 10 a.m. and just follow the troops. The task is simple, hurry...... Through this forest with no end. Karl stepped on the towing hook in front of the tank, climbed into his tank, looked at the crews around him who were making final preparations, and leaned against the turret: "Mark, Jurgen!" Heat up the car. ”

"Yes! His Majesty the King. John raised the bar on the side: "You are now more and more like a general!" ”

John wears a plain white snow camouflage jacket with an integrated hood on it. However, the dress did not look very clean now, there were some grease stains on the chest, and the sleeves had been rubbed close to gray. Rommel glanced at him, felt pity for the beautiful dress, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

"Hey! Rommel! I said, what is your attitude? John was visibly hurt by Rommel's disdainful gaze, and shouted with a slight grievance in his tone.

"Rommel thinks your clothes have affected your temperament." Jurgen on the side laughed and said: "If you go to France, those French chicks will not willingly sleep with you when they see you." ”

John was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something important: "I'll rub!" Forgot to buy a new shirt. ”

A bonfire was lit next to the tank, and soon the snow was wading down the tank's fenders. Karl got into the tank, hung the headset around his neck, fixed the throat intercom, checked several important parts, and then held the earphone with one hand, pressed the intercom switch with the other and said: "Tank No. 205 has been warmed up, it can be started at any time, test the intercom system, please call back when you receive it, please call back when you receive it." ”

"Here is tank No. 204. Your voice is so much like a, I really want to give you a floral dress. 204 Captain Davis's voice came through the headphones, followed by the laughter of several more commanders.

Karl wasn't angry either, and laughed along: "Watch your ass!" Miss Davis! If you get hit, I'll be happy to help the French make up for it. His words were full of ambiguity, and the laughter of several commanders grew louder in the headphones.

"That's it! No kidding. Launch the tank! Depart for the designated location. Company Commander Ivo's voice rang out.

All the tanks shook and made a slight metal crash. Soon, the tanks began to move slowly, and began to move slowly towards the forest not far away.

"Hey! Captain. Do you say French chicks like German men? A car commander asked with a lewd smile on the intercom.

"They don't like German men like you." Before Ivo could speak, the other commander replied with a smile.

"We're going to stab the French in the ass." Davis said with a smile.

Karl also smiled and picked up the intercom and continued, "Maybe, maybe the Frenchman stabbed us in the ass." ”

"If you're idle, look up at the top of your head." Ivo said on the intercom: "Our plane has arrived, don't let your own people accidentally kill it." ”

"Spread the flag on top of the tank and hurry up and get to work!" As soon as the order was given, everyone began to get busy again, spreading the German flag carried in the car on the top of the tank turret, and some people waved to the sky.

"Don't say it, the Air Force is still quite punctual." Carl looked at the sky, his body swaying from side to side with the tank.

Now this offensive battle plan, but the Imperial General Staff coordinated the offensive plan drawn up by the various branches of the army, and the chief of the General Staff Schlieffen personally came forward, and the various branches of the army reached an unprecedented unified operational coordination, and even the pocket watches of commanders at all levels were adjusted according to Schlieffen's watch.

This is simply the prototype of the blitzkrieg, and it can also be said that it is a copy of the German Army's march during World War II, the German Wehrmacht had all the capital to implement the Schriffen plan - elite armored forces, and the decisive assault made the British and French forces have no time to react to be interspersed and encircled, and finally blocked in the Dunkirk area, and France was also destroyed.
