"Agreed, Commander, I absolutely agree."
"You vouch for the honor of your own soldiers."
Rommel was in trouble this time, hesitated for a long time, and still held back a very aggrieved sentence:
"Well, I guarantee with the honor of a soldier that I will definitely not be on the front line."
Zhang Jun is relieved, as long as Rommel agrees, he will definitely abide by it, this is the honor of Rommel's integrity, for the honor of honor is more important than life, it is more difficult to give up honor than to take his life.
"Okay, my general, since you promise not to go to the front line, then I will allow you to go to the front line, but be sure to pay attention to safety."
"Thank you, Commander."
"We've fought together for so long, do we need to be thankful? My general, why don't we discuss how the battle will go? ”
As soon as military affairs were mentioned, the humor on Rommel's face disappeared in an instant, and he became very serious and serious. Pulling out a large map from the side of the command platform, it is really a panorama of the Polish campaign, the general deployment of Germany and Poland is on it, and even the position of the other German armies is now clearly marked, it seems that Rommel is thinking about the situation around his battlefield, and the commander at the army level must have a sense of the overall situation, otherwise it is likely to bring the troops to an embattled situation.
Zhang Jun casually picked up a red pencil on the command platform, while Rommel took a blue pencil, neither of them spoke, holding a pen in one hand, and staring at the map on the command platform on the other hand, as if the two of them wanted to see a flower on the battle map.
After a long time, Zhang Jun began to speak, and while speaking, he used the pencil in his hand to draw on the map:
"My general, you see, we are now alone, and any friendly and neighboring troops are more than two hundred kilometers away from us, and according to their current rate of progress, they are advancing fifty to sixty kilometers a day, which also shows a very serious problem, that is, without any accidents, we need to fight independently for five days before we can join up with other friendly and neighboring forces."
Rommel also took his blue pencil and began to make a gesture:
"Yes, Commander, we are completely surrounded by the Polish army, the total number of which is between eighty and one million, and of course it is impossible for the Polish army to call back all its forces and come to attack us. Because there were also our troops attacking them in front of them, and at the same time their way to Warsaw was completely blocked by us. ”
The 1st SS Panzer Corps basically did not stop from the beginning of the attack in the morning, racing more than 300 kilometers in 10 hours, from the German-Polish border to Warsaw for more than 300 kilometers, and in 10 hours it was more lightning than lightning, Poland panicked for the 1st SS Panzer Corps, and Hitler in Berlin, Germany, was also in agony.
In the war hall of the Reich State Building, Hitler was waving his arms and roaring furiously, wasn't the German war going well? Why is the great Führer still furious, this is all the fault of the SS of Hitler's "little turnip head" Zhang Jun:
"You marshals and generals, look, look at what is Operation Blitzkrieg, the 1st SS Panzer Army is Operation Blitzkrieg, look at what your Wehrmacht is doing, are you snails? Only now has the attack advanced fifty to sixty kilometers, and my brave and fearless SS troops have already arrived under the city of Warsaw, do you know that the SS is cutting off the retreat of the Polish army for you, preventing them from entering the fortified city, and fighting with us in the streets, which will make countless emperors shed blood and sacrifice.
My marshals, my generals, because of the sacrifices made by the 1st SS Panzer Corps for the sake of the whole situation, they are now in a very dangerous situation, you see, in front of them is the fortified Polish capital Warsaw, to the south is the Polish "Prussian Army", to the east are the Polish "Rotz" and "Pozzian" armies, and to the north are the "Pomorianian Army", and their innumerable reserves, these enemies together are nearly 800,000 to 1 million enemies.
My marshals, my generals, do you know that our SS 1st Panzer Corps is now in danger for the sake of the overall victory, they have dangerously cut off the enemy's way to Warsaw, but they are also surrounded by a million enemy troops, so for the sake of our valiant SS, for the sake of Germany, for the honor of your Wehrmacht, I command you, at all costs, to annihilate all enemies who dare to resist, like crushing bugs, to crush them, and to advance! To advance further, it was necessary to join the 1st SS Panzer Corps as soon as possible. ”
"Hey! Hitler. ”
The marshal officers in the war hall of the Reichstag hurriedly saluted, Hitler waved his hand decadently, then put his hand behind his back and began to pace out slowly, and Hitler's hand behind him always trembled unconsciously, although it was very slight, but the other marshals and generals still saw it in their eyes, but they didn't dare to say it.
Hitler left the Reichstag War Hall and went back to his office, and as soon as Hitler left, the generals and colonel-level officers in the War Hall began to discuss:
"How can the Führer put the blame on our Wehrmacht? Isn't our battle plan arranged? Fifty to eighty kilometers a day, you see, how far the SS ran in ten hours, more than 300 kilometers, they thought it was a motor race! Oh my God! Damn the SS, how could they ignore the battle plan like this, they were a serious violation of military orders and should have been sent to court-martial. ”
As soon as the colonel finished speaking, Blenburg (Field Marshal) glared at the colonel fiercely, who is the commander of the 1st SS Panzer Corps now! Minister of German Armament, the Führer's "little radish head", you dare to send the Führer's "heart and liver baby" to a court-martial, I don't know if this Wehrmacht colonel is an idiot, the glance of Brünberg still worked, and the colonel also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly shut up.
In fact, the colonel said well, the German Ministry of Defense Operations Department gave Zhang Jun an order to attack and advance 50 to 80 kilometers every day, this speed is also completely called a "blitzkrieg", of course, Zhang Jun attacked too quickly, ten hours of non-stop running, breaking through the Polish army's defense line was completed in a very short time, in addition, Zhang Jun's hands more than 3,000 years of trucks composed of transport convoys, strong logistics and supply capabilities, to ensure the continuity of tank assault, it can be said that Zhang Jun's tactical arrangement is "blitzkrieg" - "Super Blitz".
Chief of Staff of the Supreme Command: William Keitel (Field Marshal) was the commander-in-chief of the operation, and hurriedly consulted with Field Marshal Blenburg:
"Marshal Blenburg, what do you think."
"Field Marshal Keitel, I think we should carry out the Führer's orders, but you also know that there are still more than a million troops in Poland desperately resisting, although they are not our opponents, but they are also delaying our attack, and we must ensure that the logistics channels are clear when we attack, which will also cost us a lot of troops to maintain our lines of communication, so I think we should follow the fine tradition of the Wehrmacht and attack! Attacking again, but we are steadily attacking and never taking unnecessary risks. ”
Field Marshal Keitel was the commander-in-chief, and Blenburg could only suggest that Keitel still had to decide on the specific strategy, and that the Wehrmacht was still very united within itself, at least not for the sake of Germany's alternative army, the SS. From what the colonel-level officer said just now, it can already be seen that some German ** officers have begun to have opinions on the SS, and Zhang Jun can't avoid this problem no matter how low-key he is, but as long as this contradiction is within the scope of reason, it still has no impact on Germany, if you use Stalin's kind and deal with the internal contradiction as a contradiction between the enemy and us, it will be a great disaster, but Germany will not, Germany's national character is determined, and Lao Maozi's ruthless character is destined to have such a catastrophe.
"Field Marshal Brünberg, what you said is very reasonable, let's do so, we will resolutely carry out the Führer's orders, but we still have to carry out the battle plan approved by the Führer, under the condition of ensuring logistics, advance rapidly, and move closer to the 1st SS Panzer Army, who called the 1st SS Panzer Army arrogant to the point that no one is in sight, but after all, they cut off the rear road of the Polish army for us, and prevent them from retreating into fortified cities, so that it is also convenient for us to annihilate the enemy in front of us, so that we can easily capture the Polish capital in the future, In order to reduce a lot of casualties, we should still go and pull the 1st SS Panzer Army, Marshal Blunburg, you say so!! ”
"Haha! Okay, just do as the commander-in-chief wants. ”
"Order: The battle groups of the German front, with the assurance of logistics, can advance quickly according to the situation."
Germany is already a contradiction between land, sea and air to grab shares, and now there is suddenly an extra SS, although Zhang Jun is afraid of causing the resentment of these three "landlords", so that the Führer will separately allocate a budget for the SS to purchase weapons and equipment, there are still people who are not satisfied with the SS, not satisfied with Zhang Jun, the "rocket general", Zhang Jun's current nickname is a bit much, called "Oriental God of War" in China, called "Hell Demon" in Japan, and when he returned to Germany, he brought a "rocket general" nickname, from these nicknames, we can see the mentality of these people towards Zhang Jun, It's basically at a glance.
From the order of the chief of staff of the German High Command, it can also be analyzed that there was a gap between the Wehrmacht and the SS, and those Wehrmacht marshals and generals also had reservations when carrying out the Führer's orders, and the relationship between Hitler and the Wehrmacht was like a never-ending "war", and Hitler also felt this situation, so he was anxious to build a team that was completely loyal to himself and obeyed his orders, like an arm commanding a finger (like an arm dominating a finger). The metaphor is that the command is wishful and there is no containment. Army.
Germany's military arrangements were generally carried out as scheduled in accordance with historical arrangements, and the entire Polish campaign was marked by the variable of Zhang Jun's SS First Panzer Corps. ……
