"Is this Skorzney?" Tunisian border, division headquarters of the 2nd Panzer Division. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Zhang Cheng looked at the photo he had just sent in his hand and wondered: "What about their commander Norman?" ”

For this elite special forces of the Germans, the intelligence department of the Ming Dynasty naturally did not make any less efforts. Although the Germans have done a good job of secrecy, at least the basic information has already been known by the Ming Dynasty.

"According to captured German soldiers and aerial scouts, the German commander, Colonel Norman, had fled to the coastline on his own initiative just after the battle began. Now Colonel Zhang Da is really in pursuit. Xiao Hongbao smiled and said, "Colonel Zhang Da asked me to tell Your Excellency that now that all sides of the coastline have been tightly sealed, and the Germans cannot escape from the palm of his hand." He would personally send the German commander to the execution ground. The Third Air Force also sent a telegram, and they successfully ambushed those Allied fighters, shooting down more than sixty Allied fighters, all piloted by elite pilots. The Allies suffered a lot of losses this time. Moreover, Major Sha Jin, who shot down six enemy planes in the battle, officially became the first super ace of the Army Aviation to shoot down more than 100 times. ”

"Oh. When I returned, I was reminded to give Major Sha Jin a medal. Zhang Cheng nodded, and casually put these on-site photos on the table next to him.

This level of combat didn't require much attention from him. He's going to do more on a strategic level. Coming to the Second Armored Division to inspect this elite unit was just a name, and Zhang Cheng took the initiative to leave the imperial capital mainly to give those who opposed him a chance to take the initiative. Zhang Cheng has long been tired of those endless rebellion and covert activities, and he wants to solve the problem once and for all. After all, the main opponent now is the Allies, and he can't always be pulled out of energy.

"Your Excellency, the time is almost up." Xiao Hongbao looked up at the time, bowed down slightly, and said softly, "It's dinner time, can I go to the officer's cafeteria now?" ”

"Oh? So fast? Zhang Cheng raised his wrist in some surprise and looked at the time, and nodded, "Okay, go to dinner." But instead of going to the officers' cafeteria, we went to the front-line troops. ”

"Yes." Xiao Hongbao has been with Zhang Cheng for a long time, and he has a thorough understanding of Zhang Cheng's character. He clearly knew that what Zhang Cheng decided would never change easily, so Xiao Hongbao would not say anything at this time, Your Excellency's identity, safety, and a lot of people to persuade Zhang Cheng not to go to the grassroots troops. If Xiao Hongbao really did that, he wouldn't have been able to stay by Zhang Cheng's side for so long.

"Sir, it's getting late now, and it will be dangerous if you go to the grassroots troops." Lieutenant General Jun Mo, who had recently been transferred to the commander of the Second Armored Division, couldn't wait for Zhang Cheng to come over in the officer's cafeteria, until his adjutant hurriedly ran away and reported that Zhang Cheng was going to the front-line troops for dinner. Jun Mocai, who was neatly equipped, hurriedly ran to stop Zhang Cheng.

"Do you know why I was also a classmate, and I chose the edge of the road to follow me and sent you to the Russian battlefield?" Zhang Cheng looked at Jun Mo, a classmate of Lu University who was dressed in a strange manner, and said with a smile, "Aren't you hot?" ”

"It's not because of the road, his father is the chief of the army staff." This sentence Jun Mo said to himself in his heart. Naturally, this kind of thing is impossible to say, and once it is said, it will offend a large group of people at the same time.

"It's not because Lu Zhiyuan's father is the deputy chief of the general staff." Zhang Cheng understood Jun Mo's expression, smiled and shook his head, "You don't lack ability, but you think too much." After saying that, Zhang Cheng turned around and walked towards the soldiers who were already waiting for him.

The Second Armored Division is one of the ace units of the Ming Army, and the whole division is equipped with the latest Tiger and Leopard tanks, and its combat effectiveness is definitely among the top five in the entire Ming Army. This army is also a strong army brought out by Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng came to the heavy tank battalion directly under the division. This tank battalion armed with Tiger tanks has a distinguished record in many exchanges of fire with the French and American forces in the North African theater. The crew commanded by Lin Shuo, who had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant, held the record for the highest destruction of the entire Ming armored force. Since the beginning of the war, Captain Lin Shuo's crew has destroyed 78 Allied tanks and armored vehicles, and at least 30 artillery pieces of various types.

The main reason why Zhang Cheng chose this unit was to meet the members of this crew.

"Your Excellency the Supreme Commander!" Standing in front of his tiger chariot, Lin Shuo, who looked a little excited, straightened his body and raised his hand vigorously to salute. Zhang Cheng had previously awarded Lin Shuo the Medal of Outstanding Service and the Medal of Outstanding Contribution in the imperial capital, and he had seen Zhang Cheng, but he still felt very excited to see him again at this moment.

"Not bad." Zhang Cheng came to Lin Shuo's side and nodded with a smile, raised his hand and saluted in return, and said, "Your performance is getting better and better, if you can be the first to achieve a hundred armored destruction results, then I will award you the Baoding Medal and the Silver Medal of Armored Heroes in recognition of your outstanding contributions to the country." ”

"Yes! Excellency! Lin Shuo sniffed, his voice trembling a little, "I will definitely not disappoint His Excellency the Supreme Commander!" ”

Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded, and continued to inspect the troops. After walking the entire position and meeting with every officer and soldier, he turned to Lieutenant General Jun Mo and said, "It's not early, let's eat here." I want to see what the soldiers who are fighting bravely for their country eat every day. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Jun Mo, who had been reprimanded by Zhang Cheng before, hurriedly responded and ordered people to start preparing dinner.

Theoretically, there is no need for Zhang Cheng to make such a move. After all, eating with the soldiers is nothing, but it will make the officers of the 2nd Panzer Division a little uncomfortable. The army is a place of strict hierarchy and orders for words and deeds. Zhang Cheng's approach would make the officers' prestige less visible to the soldiers.

Moreover, eating as a supreme commander and an ordinary soldier would be considered close to the people, but it was also likely to be considered a show. This era is far from promoting equality as much as modern time and space. Zhang Cheng's approach actually does more harm than good.

It's just that Zhang Cheng just wants to go into the front-line troops to have a look, and other considerations are not important. He didn't need to put on a show, and he didn't need to care too much about what ordinary officers thought. For Zhang Cheng, it was like a return to his mercenary career in Italy many years ago. At that time, although he had no wealth and lived in danger, his life was very full and happy. The army is a man's world.

Dozens of huge Tiger tanks were parked in two rows in the middle of the camp, and a large number of fuel tankers, maintenance vehicles, armored transport vehicles, communication vehicles, command vehicles and other vehicles were parked around them. And the military folding tables and chairs were quickly placed and set up into a huge, long dining table.

Hundreds of soldiers lined up to start eating from several food trucks. Zhang Cheng didn't do any special treatment, and he also received a battlefield dinner from the dining car with the aluminum dinner plate that Xiao Hongbao found for him.

Zhang Cheng once read a military newspaper during the landing in Japan. The resource-poor Japanese were no longer able to provide basic food supplies for their army. The Japanese soldiers could only eat cold water to accompany the rice balls, and occasionally had miso soup to drink. That's just two meals a day.

This is true of the armies that fought desperately for their country on the battlefield, and you can imagine the lives of ordinary Japanese citizens. Naturally, this level of supply could not meet the most basic needs of the army, and the complete collapse of the Japanese army in the later period was greatly related to the lack of supplies.

And the Ming army. The Ming army, which was considered to be super rich and had the best industrial capacity in the world, naturally ate a hundred times better than those poor Japanese soldiers.

Ordinary field rations were generally eaten by no army, and the vast majority of rations were exchanged with the locals. As for what to exchange, it depends on the needs of the officers and soldiers. They ate the best food among the armies of all countries. Whether it is Da Ming or Zhang Cheng, they will not treat their own people badly.

Zhang Cheng came to the long table with his plate and found a place to sit down, and Junmo sat next to Zhang Cheng close behind.

For Jun Mo, it was a very good opportunity to be able to take over from Lu Zhiyuan as the commander of the ace unit of the Second Armored Division.

You must know that Zhang Cheng is now at the helm of the entire Ming Dynasty, and his authority is even stronger than Zhang Yue Shoufu, who has been in charge of the Ming Dynasty for many years. In this case, how could Junmo, who has a friendship with Zhang Cheng, not behave well?

Look at the edge of the road, at what age did you become the commander of the imperial capital garrison? Who doesn't know how important that location is? Although there is also the reason why the road did well after the war, and his father was also the chief of the army staff. But without Zhang Cheng's nod, where would he have the opportunity to command the Second Armored Division to achieve impressive results?

Jun Mo agreed without the slightest hesitation when he received the transfer order from the Army Headquarters. And General He Ziqiu, the supreme commander of the Russian battlefield, did not have the slightest intention of embarrassing this classmate Zhang Cheng, and happily let him go.

After all, it is Zhang Cheng's classmate, and it is very troublesome to put it under his nose, so it is good to be transferred. Anyway, just the people left, and the 17th Armored Division commanded by Jun Mo remained on the Russian battlefield. It's a good thing to be replaced by your own people.

People are not stupid, on the contrary, Jun Mo, who is very smart, is determined to follow in the footsteps of Zhang Cheng. He didn't look down on old-fashioned soldiers like He Ziqiu at all, and even more despised He Ziqiu's idea of tearing the earth as king.

Jun Moke, who has been a classmate of Zhang Cheng, knows Zhang Cheng's personality very well, and Zhang Cheng may choose to compromise temporarily because of the situation. But once he has his hands free, no one will try to cut a piece of land from him. Standing on the side of the victor is the common idea of everyone, and Junmo is naturally no exception. In his eyes, Zhang Cheng is the final victor.

"The food for the armored troops is good." Zhang Cheng picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in his mouth, and asked with a smile, "Won't it be because I came to add food?" ”

"Absolutely not." Jun Mo smiled and spoke, "The weekly recipe is open in the Cooking Company. Unless there is an emergency, there will be no changes. All these soldiers will know. ”

There are really very few people who do this kind of thing. A person who treats others as fools is a fool himself first and foremost, and even if he doesn't say this kind of thing to his face, it will inevitably be exposed afterwards. Nobody wants to do such a thing. (To be continued.) )
