"It's so powerful, I can't imagine that your army commander can still design tanks by himself, if only we Italy could have such tanks, when I go back, I must ask the president to apply to your head of state to buy some."
"I think it's a bit hanging, we don't have enough ourselves, and now the armored corps of the Wehrmacht are almost fighting for the head in order to give priority to equipping the Shanzhai Type 99."
Vincent's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, yes! It is impossible for Germany to sell such an advanced tank to Italy, in case Italy resells a copycat Type 99 tank to other countries for its own interests, then Germany is very dangerous, but it is not impossible, it depends on how Mussolini negotiates with Hitler. Nothing is absolute, you see if the price you pay is enough, and besides, Germany still has copycat Tiger tanks! It is also a big killer, with a dead weight of more than 40 tons, a tank gun of 88 mm and 71 times, and several tanks can hold it.
"General, I've already contacted Captain Weitmann, he told us to land in an open space in front of us, where is his tank waiting for you, that tank is numbered 3321, I wish you happiness, General."
"Thank you, corporal, you are such a nice person, may God bless you."
……
The helicopter landed smoothly, and when Vincent stepped out of the helicopter, he was greeted by Wittmann himself.
"Hey! Hitler, welcome, General Vincent. ”
Weittmann gave a standard military salute to Vincent, the German ** people did a good job in this regard, even if you are a prisoner of war officer, as long as you are a senior officer, and the German ** people are lower in rank than you, under normal circumstances, they will give you a salute, and Zhang Jun's SS is even more demanding.
"......Smack" Vincent returned a military salute to Wittman, Vincent was not a Nazi salute, but a standard military salute.
"Colonel Wittman, thank you for taking the time to receive me alone on such a passionate battlefield, thank you sincerely, this is my car, it is so powerful, so majestic, I can't wait."
"Yes General, this is your 3321 tank, and he will take you across the Polish plains."
At this time, Weitmann's armored assault group was resupplying before the war, and according to reconnaissance, three lines of defense were arranged sixty kilometers ahead, more than 100 kilometers between the city of Roci and Radom, and they were the last line of defense in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
Once the breakthrough is made, the Polish capital will be like a naked beauty displayed in front of the 1st SS Panzer Army, which is the defense line arranged by the Polish "Prussian Army Group". Army Group "Prussia" (8 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry brigade, commander General Dombu-Bernatsky) was the 2nd echelon, deployed in the Kielce, Tomaszov-Mazovetsky, Radom regions.
Vincent felt here and there in tank No. 3321, and his mouth made a sound of praise from time to time, Weitmann was making the final deployment, and the order to attack was quickly issued, like this kind of interspersed battle to break through the enemy's defensive line, it was definitely the air force to take the lead, and destroy the heavy weapons of the Polish army as much as possible, so as to minimize their own losses.
At this time, Zhang Jun was carefully analyzing the various reports and intelligence sent back from the front line in the command post of the military headquarters, of course, there were countless staff officers to help sort out and classify, so that Zhang Jun could consult at any time, several combat staff officers held push rods in their hands, standing straight in front of the sand table, in front of them was a huge sand table, on the sand table was the strategic situation map of the entire Poland, several black copycat Type 99 tank models have been placed on the sand table, the position is in front of Poland Roci and Radom, These tank models represent Wittmann's tank assault group, and their back is divided into left and right wings, with the tank model of the Skeleton Division on one side, the tank model of the Imperial Division on the other, and the huge transport convoy of Prince Eugen's Division in the back.
After Zhang Jun saw the situation of his troops, he did not find any major problems, and after only a few hours of attacking, he advanced to 200 kilometers into Poland, and more than 100 kilometers to Warsaw, the capital of Poland. The speed of such progress can be described as godfast, and the progress of other troops is not even half, mainly because Zhang Jun's supplies can be sent to the front line in time, and the role of the huge transport fleet is vividly reflected.
The other is Zhang Jun's copycat 99 tank, which is a god-level existence for the Polish Army, which is similar to killing chickens with a knife. Breaking through the "Rotz Army" and the Polish Royal Cavalry can be said to have completed the tactical task without much effort, of course, the role of the SS aviation division is also immeasurable, escorting the whole process, and clearing obstacles for the tank troops to advance, eliminating all the heavy firepower of the Polish army, these roles are immeasurable, otherwise how can Zhang Jun's SS armored troops be so smooth, this is completely the power of multi-arms coordinated operations! Not that one, that kind of unit can do it, and the honor belongs to everyone in the 1st SS Panzer Corps.
After looking at his troops, Zhang Jun began to shift his gaze to other fronts, on which the progress of each unit was clearly marked, and on the sand table was a small military flag instead of that unit, and the small military flag was written on the number of that unit, so that he could clearly see the strategic situation of the entire Poland at a glance.
Germany attacked in three directions at the same time, Zhang Jun's SS rushed the fastest, the 8th Army of the German Wehrmacht on Zhang Jun's left was fighting fiercely with the Polish "Rotz Army", and had not yet broken through the Polish army's defensive line, and the 4th Army (Commander Kruger, the 19th Panzer Army under Guderian was the focus of Zhang Jun's attention, because the 4th Army was also assaulted from the combination of the "Potznam Army" and the "Pomeranian Army", and went straight to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, but unfortunately Guderian's Panzer 19th Army was sent to attack" Pomeranian Army "went, the 4th Army could only break through with one armored division, and their tanks were mainly No. 3 and No. 4, which were penetrated by Polish 37 and 50-mm anti-tank guns, so the 4th Army was not advancing very quickly, advancing about sixty kilometers.
If the 4th Army had joined forces with the 1st SS Panzer Corps, the three Polish armies would have been completely encircled and annihilated. Now the question is that the combat position of Zhang Jun's first armor is very prominent, and in such a strategic situation, whether his troops are in danger or not, Zhang Jun began to ponder and analyze.
In order to protect his own transportation line, Zhang Jun has sent his supplementary division to garrison the defense line broken by Weitman, the supplementary division also has some tanks, but the number is not much, other weapons are complete, the personnel of 20,000 is an overnumbered infantry division, there should be no problem in holding the place that has been occupied, Zhang Jun's 4 main tank divisions just advance, then advance, break through, break through again, and break the enemy's will to fight by cutting off the enemy's retreat.
Two divisions of tanks are used for assaults, and two divisions are used for the defense of the left and right flanks, so there is absolutely no problem with such an arrangement, and there is no problem with a division of Prince Eugen that has lost a large number of tanks to be responsible for transportation, as long as Rommel's "Viking Division" tank assault group can smoothly break through the defense line of the Polish army's "Prussian Army Group" and not make the battlefield fall into a state of entanglement, the Polish army will not have time to mobilize troops to encircle itself, not to mention the Polish air force, and the first German assault will start from the air, Most of Poland's air force was no longer in existence at this time, and all the airfields in Poland were bombed to the ground.
After analyzing these, Zhang Jun began to compare again, and after a moment of gesticulating, as if he suddenly understood something, he raised his head and said to the combat staff officer beside him:
"Order the trucks that are already empty on the front line to return immediately, then go to the base to load the things he transported before, and then quickly return to the convoy."
The meaning of Zhang Jun's order is to ensure that the convoy is fully loaded with all kinds of materials at any time, and there will be no time for the war to be fought, and there will be no ammunition or anything, isn't it very sad.
As long as the front-line ammunition and other materials are sufficient, Zhang Jun believes that his tank assault group is now no force that can stop it, and of course Zhang Jun will not dare to say this in the next few years, but now Zhang Jun definitely has this confidence.
Since it was decided to "blitzkrieg" Warsaw, Zhang Jun did not hesitate, and immediately began to give orders to all troops, and the supplementary divisions continued to defend the positions attacked by the troops in front, focusing on protecting the lines of communication, and the remaining four main armored divisions did not have to worry about the rear road, and immediately "blitzed" Warsaw.
Even if Zhang Jun can break through the defense line between the city of Roci and Radom and go to Warsaw, if Zhang Jun wants to leave people to defend the rear road, at least one armored division, how to attack the main division of Warsaw is only three, you must know that the SS armored division is only 12,000 people, and his personnel are not as many as the infantry division, and it is not very wise or even stupid to use tanks to attack the city at any time.
Zhang Jun bet, with all the main forces of the entire SS Army, take Warsaw in one fell swoop, occupy the enemy's capital, disintegrate the military heart of the entire Poland, the people's heart, and end the Polish campaign as soon as possible, you must know that the Maginot Line on the German-French border can be arranged with 110 Anglo-French divisions, and now because of Zhang Jun's crossing, Hitler used some diplomatic means to give Britain and France some cheap promises, which can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing Britain and France, in case the war between Germany and Poland falls into a state of hanging, Who would dare to guarantee that Britain and France, which had already declared war on Germany, would not stick a knife in the back of Germany.
Britain and France had an alliance with Poland, and now although there was a secret treaty with Hitler, if Germany performed mediocre during the Polish campaign and fell into a quagmire, the 110 divisions of the Anglo-French coalition would immediately turn around and deny the treaty with Hitler, and immediately attack Germany's Rhine and Ruhr industrial areas from the Maginot Line.
