Words written before the editor:

What is interesting today is, did the Ardennes counterattack involve Tiger tanks in the battle?

Maozi is probably for the arrangement of the historical war, and the dead duck has a hard mouth.

Here's what Maozi said:-

Allegs:"It'.ThereWereseveralTigers,But TheyDidn'Infighting"rm For the so-called rumors that the Tigers participated in the Ardennes campaign: this is a lie and an act of incitement, the Tigers have had a few vehicles, but they have not participated in the battle.

Well...... What should I say, "Camouflage Leopard" (Black Panther Camouflage M10, in other words, Camouflage Leopard and M10 are really too far apart, especially the height of the body and the suspension system are not blind people can see the difference, are the Allies too stupid or many people simply don't know that this is not a subtle difference between the two, so there will be such a classic tactic? In the case of large-scale dispatches, the probability that the Tiger will not participate in the war is really pitiful.

Although the "Camouflage Panther" formation can be considered a special operations formation, the number of Panther tanks on the Western Front is also quite large.

After all, on many battlefields, once the Panther tank appears, then basically behind the Panther tank, the Tiger tank will inevitably appear.

This is the main origin of the Germans' "herd of tigers and leopards".

Moreover, compared with the Eastern Front, the Tiger King on the Western Front can be said to be a pitiful few, but a considerable number of Tiger tanks that have been "relegated to the front line and a half" have been transported to the Western Front battlefield and play a better role, this point of view is for many military historians. is a consensus.

So did the Tiger tank ever go to war?

Ben Wolf can only say that the so-called "existing" Tiger and Storm should not be the number of several armored battalions, so Ben Wolf is quite scoffing at such a statement.

Tiger tanks can be said to be quite active on the Western Front battlefield after D-Day, after all, the more elite Tiger King was sent to fight in large numbers on the Eastern Front in Ukraine and Poland. Tiger tanks tended to be on the Western Front. With a vote of tank IV. The little brother of all kinds of light anti-tank destroyers fought hard for the German front.

After all, the Tiger type, although a little powerless against the Stalinist type of the Soviet Union, was a scumbag against the Allies. It's still more than enough.

Otherwise, there would not have been such a myth as a Tiger turret with three shells fired from a certain M4 "Sherman" in a row on the side of the Tiger turret.

Therefore, as the last struggle of the Germans on the Western Front, the Ardennes counterattack should have gathered almost all the elite troops of the Germans in the Three Low Countries and in western Germany.

If this premise is taken as an assumption, then the Tiger, as the backbone of the armored forces on the Western Front (the number of Tiger Kings on the Western Front is really small), did not participate in this counterattack. Such a statement.

To be honest, Ben Wolf really doesn't believe it.

So, what to say? If Maozi said that the Tiger tank would not be allowed to play because of the balance factor, Ben Wolf felt that such a reason was acceptable, and. It is also an acceptable proposition for players.

But what if the other party gives such a reason...... Well, this wolf can only feel that Maozi is selling cuteness again.

Then, Ben Wolf advised Maozi with a word:

"That is, you have time to come up with such a crooked reason, so you might as well optimize the game with your heart. TMD,Version 0.9.0It seems that you have to download the HD model,You let my dual-core machine,512M GT-9600 graphics card,Why is it embarrassing? nnd, it's a big deal to drag your game into the recycle bin before it finishes, or just del it out. Depend on! ”

Below is the text.

……………………………………………… Body line................................................

Before the official attack on the city of Madrid, Zhang Shixin did not try to communicate with Franco, Siegel and others, and used all kinds of pressure to force the top brass of the Spanish Republic to either give up Madrid, or, at least, evacuate civilians from the war zone.

Zhang Shixin can say that he does not want Madrid to become what happened in a year later, that is, the city that Chinese will never forget, Nanjing.

For Zhang Shixin, the Nanjing Massacre was a tragic tragedy, but KMT itself has a certain responsibility for what caused such a thing.

If the civilians are not evacuated in advance, and if they can't defeat the other side, they will declare Nanjing as an undefended city......

Although these two points seem to be unrelated, in fact, the Japanese paid such a big price to hit Nanjing, and what they got was actually an undefended city, and the commander who replaced it with a normal point would slap the table and roar:

"TMD, you run away after fighting, and you also say that the city is not fortified, how can there be such a good thing in the world???"

Perhaps, there were other reasons for the tragedy, but the KMT's failure to evacuate civilians from the war zone was in itself a "mistake".

However, it will not be possible for millions of people to evacuate for a while. Moreover, the various materials needed were also impossible for the KMT high-level leaders, who did not anticipate the Nanjing Massacre.

Therefore, the Nanjing Massacre was a tragedy that made many people quite stunned, and even the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also caught off guard by this situation.

This is because a considerable number of diplomats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have to work hard for this terrible thing done by Tani Shoo and other Japanese militarist fanatics.

Because even Hitler had to ask what such a thing was all about.

In this regard, the more than 300,000 unjust souls are more like the death of a "temporary uprising" tragedy.

Of course, no matter what the facts, or even with or without the instruction of Emperor Hirohito, the truth now only exists among a small number of people.

Either way, Zhang Shixin doesn't want Madrid to be a prelude to Nanjing.

Although, in the world before him, as far as the facts were known, the Battle of Madrid. In terms of various undisciplined behaviors, it is not inferior to the Nanjing Massacre too much. It's just that there are only as many dead and wounded civilians as there are not as many as those unjust souls in Nanjing.

……

So Zhang Shixin very much wanted to avoid such a thing, but in reality, Zhang Shixin found that even if he wanted to do this, Franco and Siegel also supported Zhang Shixin's idea out of many factors.

Even from Hitler's reply, the mustache was willing to mediate.

It's just that those high-ranking people in the Spanish Republic have gone crazy. Because according to the information conveyed by some senior officers of the international column who were willing to cooperate with Zhang Shixin. The other side prefers to let the civilians of Madrid live and die with Madrid.

"A bunch of maniacs! Do they still have humanity? ”

In front of a young man who looked quite urbane. Zhang Shixin slapped a letter on the table, and then roared.

The letter was written about some rumors about the top of the Republic of Madrid.

This fact is not the reason for Zhang Shixin's anger.

What really made him angry was. Attached to the letter is a hand-drawn map of the Madrid defense.

Because, the regular army of the Spanish Republic actually used densely populated areas as the main deployment area.

Zhang Shixin knew very well that these people's calculations were to use those civilians as shields.

Bethune, who is now Zhang Shixin's medical adviser, walked to Zhang Shixin's table and picked up the letter to browse it, and he couldn't help frowning.

He glanced at Zhang Shixin, who was still full of anger, and said, "Next, what should you do?" ”

"Cold salad! Because that's the way it is. It didn't make Franco give up the duck that was about to reach his beak. So as angry as I am, it doesn't help the overall situation. Many people do what they should do, and personal will cannot reverse other people's **. ”

The more Zhang Shixin spoke, the calmer he became, and he took a deep breath: "Things have come to this point. After that, Mr. Goebbels, I'll take care of you. ”

In Zhang Shixin's tent, there were also German guests led by Goebbels, and Goebbels naturally knew very well what Zhang Shixin meant when he said this. He smiled slightly: "The Führer asked me to appear here in the hope that I can give Mr. Zhang all kinds of help within my ability." ”

Goebbels then walked over to Bethune, took the letter, and read it carefully.

After a while, a smile appeared on Goebbels's face: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know if you can let me borrow this letter?" ”

After Zhang Shixin heard this, he nodded.

He knew very well that Goebbels was trying to help him get into less trouble.

But on the other hand, if Zhang Shixin is not in trouble, someone will be quite troublesome. This is a relative situation that no one can avoid.

However, Zhang Shixin now has no good impression of the Spanish Republic at all, so the other party was directly stoned to death by a meteorite, and Zhang Shixin would also be quite happy to watch the other party unlucky.

It's just that Zhang Shixin heard a rather unexpected sentence:

"Sir, for some reason, my master and some like-minded people have secretly protected a considerable part of the people, and he hopes that Mr. Zhang can send someone to contact him as soon as possible. Because he didn't want to fight anymore, he wanted the country to return to peace. ”

"Who is your master?" Zhang Shixin looked at the young man suspiciously, and asked a word.

"Pablo? Ruiz? Picasso. The young man uttered something that surprised Bethune.

And for Zhang Shixin, an art idiot, the name he seems to have heard there.

He subconsciously asked Bethune: "This name seems a little familiar, who is that?" ”

Bethune was a little speechless, but soon nodded quite clearly: "Well, it's not surprising that you've heard of his name, in addition to being a good painter, he also has a title." ”

Zhang Shixin asked curiously: "What is it called?" Zhang Shixin then picked up a water cup on the table......

"A romantic kinky scoundrel." Bethune smiled slightly.

"Poof......

After Zhang Shixin heard this, he squirted out the water in his mouth......

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

At six o'clock in the morning of November 14, the battle began with the air force flying in the sky.

Although, Zhang Shixin did not approve of the use of carpet bombing to weaken such a large city, its own defense system and the will to fight to defend it. Because of the large number of civilians present, carpet bombing can only cause ruins and innocent non-combatants to suffer heavy casualties.

However, Zhang Shixin is also very clear. The defense of a ruin is often much weaker than that of an intact building.

At the very least, a complete building can give the attacking troops a rather inadequate feeling.

Of course, a ruin can hide some guards, but compared to a complete building where every room can hide enemies, there are not many areas where a ruin can be used for battle.

Therefore, after weighing it again and again, Zhang Shixin still let his bomber unit join the bombing operation against Madrid.

And in the sky of Madrid. At the same time, swarms of all kinds like locusts appeared again. A variety of artillery pieces arranged on the perimeter. The same was done with Madrid.

A large number of aerial bombs, high-explosive bombs, rained down on various areas of Madrid.

Soon, in some neighborhoods of Madrid. Looming plumes of smoke and fire appeared.

……

Feeling the slight tremors coming from the ground, in one of the basements of the international column, several senior commanders of the international column gathered together to exchange some questions.

"Although we came to this city of our own free will, we are not willing to give everything for a 'friend' who has deteriorated."

"I know that very well, and that man has also given us quite reliable assurances. At the same time, Dr. Bethune hopes that we will be able to get out of here as soon as possible. But we cannot leave behind the civilians who are under our shelter. ”

"I am well aware of this, but not until I have effective support. We are powerless to protect civilians to safety. At the same time, in contrast to this situation, although we have increased our food requirements as much as possible, the other side seems to know something, and our food consumption these days can only keep the fighters at a low level, and our remaining food will not last too long. Unless, we are willing to cut off the food rations distributed to those civilians. ”

"It's impossible, because if we were to do that, we wouldn't have accepted and protected those civilians in the first place."

"Those bastards of the Soviets actually refused to cooperate with us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have encountered such a situation. ”

"In contrast to this situation, will the other side be able to break through the outer defensive zone and reach our area within two days? If we can't, we're probably going to be easily defeated by those Spanish bastards using starvation tactics. ”

"It's a very difficult one, and I think you know very well that if there is no miracle, there are times when a large and fairly strong building can delay an army of no less than a thousand men for a whole day. So, while this is a beautiful idea, it's also quite unrealistic. ”

"Are we just going to sit back and wait?"

"This can only be done by God's will, because if God is willing to let miracles happen to us, what we have to do is pray for miracles to happen."

"It's not like you, Brother Picasso."

"What better way do you have it? Brother Xie Weijin? ”

"That's true, but before we do that, we have to make sure that we don't get killed by stray bullets."

"Of course. We all have to live and witness that path is the right one. We are not violating our beliefs, but we have the right to choose a better path. ”

"yes. We must live and witness the end of a new path......"

……

At the same time that the forces led by Zhang Shixin, Franco and Siegel attacked Madrid, the forces within Madrid, in fact, became not monolithic because of what happened before.

Let's not talk about the various discords between the top leaders of the Spanish Republic, which are already divided.

Even the international column was divided into two major factions.

One faction was the Civilians Protection faction formed by non-members of the Soviet International Column who had received the support of Zhang Shixin after a propaganda war and out of their own beliefs.

The high-level of this faction is composed of an international column composed of Chinese youths in Europe, headed by Xie Weijin, the leading figure of the Chinese formation, and a considerable number of high-level CP personnel from all over the world who are not of Soviet origin.

Among later historians, they were called NCPs, that is, new types of CPs that tended to use more realistic methods, improved programs, and ways of acting.

After the propaganda war, they did a lot of what they could, even going so far as to turn against the Spanish Republic and the members of the international column of the other faction.

On the other hand, it is with Khrushchev (this is purely for the occasion, please do not take it seriously. However, since Khrushchev had commanded the battle at Stalingrad, his military capabilities would not be any worse. CCCP formations led by international columns.

The members of the international column of this faction are basically from the Soviet Union. That is to say, the policy of the Soviets was very clear, that is, no matter what the direction of public opinion Stalin was, no one could stop what he was going to do.

This was true of the Great Purge, as was the support of the International Column in support of the Spanish Republic.

It can be said that the international column was officially split into two parts after an unintentional move by Zhang Shixin.

This was the trigger for Stalin's dissolution of the Comintern a few years later, in 1943. At least, in this world, that's how it goes.

This is the result that Zhang Shixin really expected.

However, as far as the situation at that time is concerned, even if Zhang Shixin thinks of this situation, I am afraid that he will not change his original intention.

After all, it is not so much that the Soviet Union and the Comintern have given the Chinese CP some help, but what is even more memorable is that they have done much more damage to the Chinese CP than they have helped.

For example, the fifth FWJ (you know. The process and the result...... Li De and others, who were airborne by the Comintern, can be said to have "made great contributions."

Therefore, this organization is also a category that Zhang Shixin does not have a good impression of.

However, in contrast to what happened a few years later, after about two hours of shelling and bombardment, the ground forces attacking Madrid also began to operate.

This is what Zhang Shixin really cares about.
