Chapter 2034 Zhang Debiao conducts the arts
After Rommel heard Zhang Debiao's words, he was very surprised, he had actually been planning this matter for a long time, whether his own troop carrier could really break through the defense line set up by the United States and Britain on the coastline.
"I mean, you don't fight these two places, choose other landing grounds, so that you have a chance, otherwise, it's difficult!" Zhang Debiao said.
"General Zhang, if we choose other landing sites, we will be able to devote even fewer troops to the attack, so we will not be able to open up the situation at all. Britain now has more than 2 million troops, and the United States also has more than 1 million in the United Kingdom.
And our troop carriers can only invest less than 100,000 troops at one time, and the troops are not enough, and we have not had time to consolidate the beachhead, and it is estimated that they will be driven into the sea! An admiral said a little anxiously.
"I know, but with a frontal attack, will you be able to land on the beachhead?" Zhang Debiao asked rhetorically.
"If there is your Chinese navy to help, I think it should be possible!" The Admiral continued.
"It's impossible, not to mention the help of our navy, but the help of the navy of the United States. You can't land on it, you should know that these places have allowed the British to build permanent fortifications, and you can't bomb all the British fortifications every day!
It even said that the British could withdraw part of their troops, and when you came up to fight, you would not be able to land at all! Zhang Debiao said with great certainty.
"So you mean we have to change?" Rommel asked.
"You have to change, if you don't change, you can't win!" Zhang Debiao said affirmatively.
"If we change, I think the British side must know, what do you say we should do, it's useless!" When Rommel finished speaking, he sighed in his heart,
Germany has not paid much attention to the construction of the navy, and when it finds it necessary. It's too late, although Germany still has a lot of submarines, but most of the submarines are used to hit the opponent's ships, and there is no way to cover the landing, Rommel knows this very well!
"Why don't you use civilian boats?" Zhang Debiao asked?
"Civilian boats, can it work?" When the other generals heard this, they immediately became suspicious.
"Why not?" Zhang Debiao asked rhetorically.
"There is no firepower device, and when attacking, there is no ability to protect oneself at all." One of the admirals said immediately.
"No, you're just going to land with troop carriers. Don't send your navy to cover, the first role of the troop carrier is to transport troops, not to cover the landing of troops, if you use this to land, then it is not called a troop carrier, it is called a frigate! Zhang Debiao said very incomprehensibly.
"This!" When the generals heard the sermon, they also looked at each other.
"Use frigates to cover the landing of those civilian ships, as long as the troops go to the British island, then the British deployment will definitely be chaotic. It's time to fight! Zhang Debiao continued.
"General Zhang, thank you for giving us a new idea, we will definitely consider it seriously, but. General Zhang, you said that we landed with civilian ships and escorted us with frigates, but we do not have air supremacy now. We simply don't have that chance!" Rommel said thankfully!
"Yes, I know, though. We can wait for the opportunity, I don't know about the situation on your air force's side, so I can't provide any advice, I hope you can understand that there is not enough information to fight a war, and we, as commanders, cannot make decisions at will! Zhang Debiao said to Rommel. Rommel nodded when he heard it, knowing that Zhang Debiao was telling the truth!
"Someone, send a telegram to the Air Force Command, I need the situation of our country's Air Force, as well as the situation of the Air Force of the United States and the United Kingdom, I want it immediately!" Rommel said to one of the staff officers behind him.
"Yes!" The staff officer went to do it right away.
"General Zhang, thank you, I know that it is right to invite you to come, you China, when you resisted Japan, had nothing, and you were able to force Japan like this, it is related to the command ability of your Chinese commanders!" Rommel said complimentally.
"Hey, we all used our lives to fight out, at that time, our country was really poor, there was nothing, we had to buy it from the international community, you Germany helped us a lot at the beginning,
So this time, we in China also came to help you Germany, although we were unhappy before, but this kindness, we Chinese have always remembered! Zhang Debiao said with a sigh.
"We know that China is an ancient civilization and pays attention to gratitude and gratitude, so we are also very honored that we can be friends with China.
We also found that your soldiers are very brave, and your commanders are also very powerful, able to maximize the advantages of your troops, this is not something we can compare, of course, our German soldiers are also brave! Rommel said again.
"Well, we were all forced out, we were poor at that time, and the equipment was very backward, we could only use our brains to reduce the casualties of our troops!" Zhang Debiao nodded and said.
"Well, yes, they were all forced out!" Rommel nodded and said!
"General Zhang, you said that if we had a chance, we would land from somewhere else, what do you say is better?" Rommel asked again.
"Southend and Clarkton can do it, if we want to fight, we will directly bypass the main British defense line, I guess the reason why the British layout the defense line like this is related to knowing that you don't have many troop carriers,
They have eaten you, and they can only land in these places. If we had landed in this place, Britain would not have thought of it, and we would have been able to penetrate directly into London, England, and cut off the entire British front line of transport.
When the time comes, as long as they retreat, and as long as your landed troops hold London, they can deal with most of the British troops at once, so that you can continue to penetrate deep into Germany in the future! Zhang Debiao explained.
"Well, yes, but if 100,000 people keep it, it should be very difficult!" Rommel said.
"Could it be that your civilian ships can only transport 100,000 people?" Zhang Debiao asked strangely.
"Oh, it's a civilian boat for us, look at me!" Rommel immediately laughed and said self-deprecatingly.
"And the civilian ships can be transported once, or many times, and then you will have more troops, and there will be no problem in blocking the retreat of the troops of the United States and the United Kingdom!" Zhang Debiao said.
"Well, now it's just to see if we can land in the past, if we can land, then it's easy to say, today I really want to thank General Zhang, if it weren't for you, we would still be struggling with how to land in the UK!" Rommel said.
"I don't need to thank you for this, it may not be useful, the final decision is still your own good, my opinion is just a reference role, you know your troops, your decision is the most effective, and I, just came over here and said my opinion!" Zhang Debiao said immediately.
"Yes, we'll think about it, but = what would you do if you knew about the air forces of the United States and the United Kingdom?" Rommel asked again.
"I don't know yet, a lot of things are made according to the situation on the battlefield!" Zhang Debiao shook his head and said, he really doesn't know, the things on the battlefield must be cautious, there can be no possibility of blind decision, otherwise it is easy to have accidents!
"Yes, we know, I think General Zhang will give us a reference later!" Rommel said.
"Yes, no problem!" Zhang Debiao nodded and said.
And quickly. The intelligence from the Air Force was sent.
"You translate to General Zhang now!" Rommel said to his translator.
"Okay!" The translator nodded.
"According to our latest statistics and reconnaissance, there are less than 1,100 planes in our German air force that can participate in the station, and in two days, there will be 1,000 fighters from the Chinese side.
On the British side, according to our reconnaissance, there should be about 2,000 fighters, and there is no indication that the United States will continue to send more fighters, but they will definitely increase, the specific time is unknown, the number of increases is unknown, and they are still under investigation! The translator said.
After Zhang Debiao heard this, he nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Judging from the situation in the battles before us, the ratio of our losses in air combat with the enemy is 1:1.1, and we have a slight advantage, but the enemy has more fighters than us!
Moreover, at present, the number of our fighters is also getting smaller and smaller, and now it is all dependent on the support of China, otherwise, our air force would have been annihilated by the enemy long ago! The translator said. After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Debiao.
"Where are the main places of engagement, are there the number of warplanes distributed in the enemy's various airfields, what is the enemy's strength in night combat, how long does it take the enemy to take off from the main battlefield, and what is the maximum flight time and radius of the enemy's aircraft in the air?" Zhang Debiao asked the translator several questions in a row, and the translator was confused, so he looked at Rommel.
"What did General Zhang say?" When Rommel saw the interpreter looking at him, he immediately asked.
"Yes, but, what he asked, we don't have any information!" The translator replied.
"Then what's the question, tell me!" When Rommel heard that there was none, he asked again. So the translator re-translated Zhang Debiao's words just now! (To be continued......)
