In Otto's words, the "duel" broke his face, but Skorzny learned the truth, concluding with relish that "in war, I never thought that fear was worse than when I had to fight my classmates alone", "I had pains and lessons, and these experiences made me fearless, just like in a duel, you have to stare at the face of your opponent." It's the same in war, you don't have to waste time on dodging, you have to move forward once you've set your goal. ”
Rommel asked Otto to come, of course, to ask Otto to form a small commando team, blend in with the blue army, and then get the news of the enemy command from the enemy soldiers or officers, of course, you can also catch the "tongue" and other means, no matter what means Otto used, the important thing is that Rommel needs Otto to find the blue command post and destroy it, at least destroy its communication facilities.
Rommel's idea is a precedent for modern special forces, and the Brandenburg troops of later generations are the sharp sword in the hands of Nazi Germany, and in the war, the special forces use their own characteristics and stunts to complete the tasks that the regular combat forces cannot accomplish, and the special forces can even have a strategic impact in military operations, and produce great results with a very small scale, and play a role in shifting thousands of pounds. The history of the special forces dates back to the time of the Trojan Horse, and thousands of soldiers could not have broken through the city defenses without the two dozen soldiers in the Trojan Horse. Nowadays, special forces have become a necessary branch of the world's leading forces, creating one military myth after another. While lamenting the heroism and wonder of the special forces, we should not forget that there was such a unit in history that played a crucial role in the development of the special forces, and it was the prototype of the modern special forces - the Brandenburg unit of the Third Reich.
However, the current Brandenburg army has not yet been established, and there is no mature experience to learn from, even Zhang Jun, a traverser from later generations, only focused his attention on improving German weapons and Germany's strategic decision-making, Zhang Jun meant to make Germany's originally very advanced weapons, because of the hasty development and production, and various problems continued, which greatly affected the outcome of the war, Zhang Jun is to change this situation, and the other is that strategic decision-making should not be in the history of those huge mistakes, In fact, Zhang Jun's thoughts and concerns are not wrong, but are the winners and losers of the war really all decided by those?
The answer is no, the reasons and factors that determine the outcome of a war are many, and they are absolutely not all that can be solved by simple weapons and correct strategic planning. Soldiers, weapons, logistics, ammunition, front-line commanders, morale, etc., are all reasons that affect the outcome of the war, but Zhang Jun knows his strengths and weaknesses, how to use people is definitely Zhang Jun's greatest strength, he is a traverser, a celebrity who has been tested by countless wars in World War II, I can't remember two hundred, I can also remember that there are seventy or eighty there, I can always gather a few for my use, Zhang Jun's "plug-in" is much more reliable than those imaginary "golden fingers".
Otto soon appeared in front of Rommel, with a tall figure, a straight uniform, and a long scar on his face that set off the eyes of a gloomy, and everything proved that this "most dangerous man in Europe" was not in vain.
"Hey! Hitler, general, you look for me. ”
Otto's voice was low and hoarse, and after entering the command post, he gave a standard Nazi salute to Rommel, at this time Otto had just joined the SS, and the rank of corporal was still second, and he could hold the rank of squad leader.
"Oh, it's Otto Skorzny here, come on, sit here, I want to talk to you about something."
Rommel invited Otto to sit down opposite his office, Rommel's desk at the command post was very special, it was built with several ammunition boxes, and a green military cloth was spread on it, even if it was a desk, of course there was no chair, and the stool was two ammunition boxes that were heavy together, which could be used as a stool.
After all, Otto and Rommel had a teacher-student relationship, and the relationship was good before, so he was not formal, and said thank you in his mouth, and then sat down opposite Rommel very respectfully. The orderly brought two cups of tea, and the two began to talk cordially.
"Otto, I want you to form a small commando, or a reconnaissance team, your task is to infiltrate the enemy's rear, no matter what method you use, you must find the enemy's general headquarters, you can choose to destroy it yourself, or you can choose to use the air force to destroy, I wonder if you would like to be the organizer and leader of this assault reconnaissance team?"
"Hey! Hitler, General, you know my character, what I like most is to take risks, as long as I decide something, I will not hesitate to pounce on it, and then destroy the enemy, so I am very willing to be the leader and organizer of this commando team, and ensure the completion of the tasks assigned by the general. ”
"Okay, Corporal Otto, I will now promote you to the rank of glorious SS First Class, and then go to the various armies to select the most elite thirty-nine fighters and form a small commando team, I will give you one day of targeted training, the next day you must set off to start the infiltration, you must maintain contact with the command for two days, you can bring walkie-talkies and radios, is there a problem?"
"No problem, General, guarantee to complete the task."
……
Otto is also a vigorous and resolute person, with Rommel's orders in his hand, he will select professionals who he usually knows better in the army and has various specialties and technologies, and Otto himself is a graduate of the University of Civil Engineering, and also has an engineering degree.
Combat soldier Otto plans to select 30 people, these 30 combat soldiers must be able to drive, and at the same time, the individual soldier quality assessment must be at the level of excellent or above, two engineers, two repair soldiers, three signal soldiers, and two tank soldiers. Otto, who returned to the army, directly handed over Rommel's order to their regiment commander, and it was not a big problem for a regiment to select this person, and in one morning Otto had gathered all the thirty-nine people he needed, which he could think of, and Otto also received all the equipment that the troops had.
Each person has 300 rounds of ammunition for an MP38 submachine gun, 50 rounds of ammunition for a silenced pistol, three days of dry food, a walkie-talkie, a radio station, two Mauser 98K sniper rifles, etc., 40 commandos, each of whom basically has a weight of 15 kilograms, which is just the best weight-bearing off-road standard in the human body.
It is basically impossible to train anything in half a day, and Otto aimed at this situation, so he let his thirty-nine subordinates train the team with live ammunition. The shooting range was filled with gunfire throughout the afternoon.
Otto was training with live ammunition, Rommel also began to make tactical feins at his own headquarters, Rommel first drew about 50% of the troops from each defense line and began to assemble on the flat terrain of the eastern front, the traffic was rolling, the people were rolling, and the air forces of both sides also began to fight, but they were almost the same, and it was absolutely impossible to completely gain air supremacy, and now both sides had dozens of planes, and how much support they wanted to have for the army, it was really impossible, and now both sides are trying their best to avoid a decisive air force battle, On the contrary, the Air Force was used for reconnaissance, and Rommel's large-scale mobilization certainly could not be concealed from Hausser and Ike.
The two also made a confrontational deployment.
BLU Command:
"Ike, what do you think?"
"Brother Hausser, I don't think we should be like this, let's deploy a small number of troops on the front of the Eastern Front, we will arrange a pocket around the Eastern Front, and wait for our deputy army commander to come in, and then we will fight the dog behind closed doors, how about it."
"Brother Ike, it's good to be like this, but what if the deputy commander just lets off a shot? Instead, choose somewhere else to break through our positions? ”
"Brother Hausser, you are too worried, you look at the sand table, other places are hilly, or the terrain is dangerous, there is no way to let the tanks pass, even if the deputy commander wants to attack with infantry, there is no way to supply! So I'm sure that the deputy commander is attacking the flat terrain of the Eastern Front. ”
"I hope your judgment is not wrong, then we will arrange a pocket formation on the Eastern Front, just in case, let's put the last mobile troops and tanks on the west side of the Eastern Front, so that we can also reinforce the Western Front at any time, you see how it is, my brother."
"Bang bang bang...... My brother, your battle plan is so perfect, it's simply impeccable, let's wait for the deputy commander to be captured, hehe, I'm looking forward to seeing the deputy commander's expression captured by his subordinates, do you think he will be furious? Hey hey ......"
"Brother Ike, how can you be sure that our deputy commander will be on the front line to command, not in the rear."
"Oh, my God, how long have you been with our deputy commander, don't you know the character of our deputy commander, every battle must be on the front line to command, as long as the red attacking troops get into our pockets, I bet that we will be able to capture the deputy commander alive, do you bet? My brother. ”
"Bet on it, how to ...... the best table at the Grand Hotel Berlin"
"I totally agree, and accept your offer without hesitation, my brother, just wait to treat me to a big dinner, haha......"
Hausser and Ike arranged a pocket formation for Rommel, waiting for Rommel to take the bait on the Eastern Front, and through aerial reconnaissance, Rommel's deputy commander was indeed massing a large number of troops to the Eastern Front, which further confirmed Haussel and Ike's judgment, which further fueled the arrogance of the two, and they were waiting to see the expression of the captured Rommel.
Both sides were nervously mobilizing their forces in broad daylight, and their planes occasionally engaged each other, but they did not die and flew away immediately after completing the reconnaissance. At night, Hessel and Ike's blue troops had not rested, digging the civil fortifications around the pocket array overnight, while Rommel ordered the troops assembled on the eastern front in the second half of the night, turned off all the lights, and drove to the western front overnight under the command of the glow stick.
