Chapter 243: A Short Night Attack

The night was dark and the wind was high, and a group of dark shadows quietly approached the German sentinels. Captain company commander Liu Jianxu was looking at the platoon commander Liu Denggao who went to touch the sentry with fear. Liu Denggao spoke out when he was a child in the bandit den of Chaohu water bandits, and learned the ability to steal chickens and touch dogs. Catching up with the outbreak of the bandit movement, he was fortunate to be exterminated and incorporated by the Chaohu Patrol Battalion at that time.

During the day, the reconnaissance team discovered that the place was very special, with constant traffic coming in and out. The battalion commander Wang Mazi, a habitual bandit, had a crooked thought, and felt that he could come here at night to see if he could gain something. As for the encirclement and elimination of the German army here, Wang Mazi never thought about it. Looking at the deployment of the surrounding German troops, this generation is no less than the strength of an infantry division. Just leave after a while, this is Wang Mazi's wishful thinking, so Liu Jianxu's company was sent out to take the lead.

Liu Jianxu, a student of Baoding in parallel history, was assigned to the special operations division after graduating from Wuhu Lu University in this time and space. This is a very exciting thing, and the special operations division is so strict that it is outrageously strict, and it is known as the elite of the elite of the Wehrmacht. Liu Jianxu was very satisfied with this assignment at the beginning, which also became his proud capital in front of other classmates. Of course, Liu Jianxu is very nervous now, this is the first battle of the special operations division.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the German headquarters were still on. Crown Prince August, German Deputy Chief of the General Staff Ludendorff, Bob, and a cadre of generals were all around a huge table, analyzing the progress of the war.

As far as the current situation of the war is concerned, it is very favorable for the German army. Once Epernay is taken, the door to Paris and the last obstacle to the Reims flank are completely gone. This was a decisive battle, the German army made a lot of preparations, and Crown Prince August attached great importance to it, especially for the table of the armored forces of the First World War tomorrow, full of expectations.

Bob is naturally responsible for explaining the intentions of the campaign. Holding a pole in his hand, he pointed on the map: "In the early morning of tomorrow, after our army launches a general attack, I will personally lead an assault group composed of three hundred tanks, two cavalry divisions and one infantry division, and after completing the crossing of the river, our troops will make a roundabout intersperse, targeting Saint-Martin and Da Blois." The key to accomplishing this detour depends on whether the infantry can open an opening as much as possible. And put enough pressure on the French troops on the side of Shuy. To do this, the tank unit will detach one hundred and fifty tanks to cover the infantry attack. …………。 ”

After Bob finished speaking, Ludendorff continued: "Intelligence shows that the Chinese expeditionary force has completed the assembly in Paris. We must divide the French forces encircling the Epernay Line, destroy them, and force the squadron to retreat before the squadron reinforces it. If you have the chance, destroy them. According to the General Staff's calculations, it will take at least five days for the Chinese Expeditionary Force to reach and deploy in Epernay. So. Our troops must destroy the French line and ...... within five days. ”

Bang bang bang! The crisp sound of a rifle pierced the silence of the night, interrupting Ludendorff's words. Ludendorff, who was stunned, subconsciously looked at the door and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Boom, boom!" "Tata Tower!" The successive movements instantly became louder. The gunfire was alarmingly dense.

The first to react was Bob: "It's the Chinese's special operations unit, I've been in this unit." They are adept at launching surprise attacks at night. Between words, Bob had rushed out of the door of the war room.

"Chinese? Special Warfare Division? August subconsciously asked, and Ludendorff lowered his pole. "This is an army directly under the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and the full name is the Special Operations Division. If my understanding is correct. The troops who launched the attack, no more than one battalion. ”

"What are you kidding, one battalion dares to attack the headquarters of the defense of one of our infantry divisions, are these Chinese crazy?" As soon as August's voice fell, Bob's figure rushed in: "Turn off the lights and cover the crown prince to my command post, where there are thirty or two tanks guarding, and the Chinese can't get in." ”

August sat still, unbelieving, and at that moment a scream pierced and Bob pounced and pressed August under the table. An explosion sounded right in my ears, and the walls of the headquarters crumbled before a large hole was blown down. This time the other officers moved quickly, swishing for cover and turning off the lights.

"This is a 120-mm mortar, although at night their gunners are specially trained to shoot accurately at lights. Anyone who underestimates this special forces will not end well. Get out of here now. Bob's voice was a little cold, but August didn't care at all, and was even grateful for Bob's timely reminder.

Everyone left the war room, and in less than three minutes, six shells fell from the position of the war room, three of which hit the roof. August was dragged twenty meters away, looking back at the war room that had been hit by the shell, and he was in a cold sweat.

“

General Bob, it's all up to you here. August found a good thug, and Bob did not shirk, and gave the first order: "Order, all troops must not attack without authorization, and stick to the position." ”

"Withdraw! Remove! Hearing the sharp whistle, although Liu Jianxu was unwilling, he still ordered a retreat. I must not have seen the eight characters when I went out today, and I finally managed to get a ticket for sale, which is actually a hard bone that is difficult to gnaw.

The battle broke out suddenly, and a hidden German outpost spotted the attacking special operations division and fired to call the police. If Fang Jianxiong was present and happened to know that there was a guy like Bob in the German army, he would definitely make the special operations division pay attention to a problem, and there would definitely be more than one secret post. These things are some tips that Fang Dashuai and Bob made up together when they were interning in the German Seventh Army. There is only a dark whistle in the open whistle, and there is a dark whistle after the dark whistle.

The gunfire alarmed the German army, Wang Mazi was furious, and Liu Jianxu was not much better. Fortunately, the battalion was equipped with a company of six 120 heavy mortars, and it fired a rapid fire in the direction of the light, and it flashed after the shot. In order to buy time for the shelling, the light machine gun positions hidden on the flanks at both ends were suppressed by a fierce fire at the German camp, and the assault platoon even pretended to attack and was hit by them. However, Wang Mazi did not dare to take risks, especially when he thought that the Germans had tanks, he immediately ordered a retreat. It should be said that this order to retreat was timely, and in less than ten minutes, six German tanks chased out, and behind them there was at least a battalion of infantry.

Liu Jianxu, who had been prepared for a long time, ordered the company to have six 60 mortars to specialize in the German infantry, and it was a flash when one shot. It was difficult for the German tanks to lock on to their targets at night, and by the time they reacted and found the preset artillery position behind a trench, Liu Jianxu and his men had already run away.

From the beginning to the end of the whole battle, in less than fifteen minutes, the special operations division, which came and went like the wind, inflicted more than 30 casualties on the German command.

Auguste, the commander-in-chief, soon received even worse news, two temporary ammunition depots, had been attacked by enemy troops. The ammunition depot was blown up, and the Germans suffered heavy casualties. By dawn, the Germans had six garrisons and were attacked at night. The time of each night attack was not very high, the longest was about 45 minutes, and the shortest was the station of the group army headquarters, which added up to less than 15 minutes, but the damage caused was not small. Auguste's war room, received three rounds of 120 mortar shells.

is also a 120 mortar, Fang Dashuai's copycat, obviously this is the only one, there is no other semicolon. This mortar, Fang Dashuai did not take it out for trading, so far only the Wehrmacht is equipped with it. In terms of lightness and easy carrying, this 120 mortar shaped in 1964 in parallel time and space, the total weight is only 174 kilograms, and three people can easily carry it after dismantling, but the difficulty is that all the shells are carried by people. Therefore, it is for safety and to save shells.

At dawn, the morning mist rises and the views along the Marne are pleasant, if not for the war, which is a very comforting cause.

Bob, with a solemn expression, stood silently on a high place, looking to the east. Ludendorff quietly walked up to him, and when he faced Bob, the deputy chief of the German General Staff who was not smiling, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Bob, what are you thinking?" ”

"I was thinking that we might be in big trouble. I know the other side too well, and since he has agreed to send troops to Europe, there will definitely be a way to deal with the German army. Tactically, no one has been able to match it so far. Bob said very surely, Ludendorff was not displeased at all, and even nodded: "His strategic vision is unmatched, do you remember the time of the Qingdao joint military exercise?" At that time, he clearly showed the course of the European war. It was even quite accurate to tell me that if the German General Staff had revised the Schlieffen plan, it would have been a stern mistake. He also told me that it was also a very stupid decision to choose to go through Belgium into France, and that the road topography of Belgium was not at all suitable for the movement of the large corps. ”

Bob took over and said, "When I was an intern in the Seventh Army, he told me that once the European war broke out and the Germans could not force the French to surrender in the first three months of the war, then there would be no suspense about the outcome of the war. At that time, he told me that the German army was the best in the world, and the German generals were far stronger than the French generals. However, the pattern of war has changed. Now it seems that everything he said has been fulfilled. ”

"Bob, do you have any resentment towards the squadron's participation in the battle?" Ludendorff asked, and Bob shook his head and said, "I didn't understand it at first, but then I figured it out." For China, Germany is no different from other powers. The German army also entered the city of Beijing, and the Germans also forcibly leased Jiaozhou Bay. When Fang was studying in Germany, he was committed to the rejuvenation of China, and in order to achieve this goal, he would do whatever it takes. In the same way, in order to win the war and pry the old order, Germany will do whatever it takes. Between the state and the state, there can only be a change in the relationship between the two when the interests change. Fang is right! ”
