Twelve. Hell cousins (ask for recommendations!)
Erwin Rommel!
Wang Weiyi never imagined that one day he would be able to stand face to face with this famous general in the world.
"Lieutenant Ernst, I have clearly seen the excellence of you and your 3rd Company in the face of the enemy's new weapons." Rommel looked serious: "It's really very surprising, the enemy used new weapons in today's attack, and our positions were broken through in several places, but only here you and your soldiers behaved so calmly, which is remarkable." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, Lieutenant Erwin." Wang Weiyi said politely: "This is what a German officer should do, if you don't mind, I think we can go there and have a good chat." ”
Rommel nodded and followed Wang Weiyi to a corner of the position.
The enemy's attack stopped for the time being, and Rommel took the telescope to carefully observe the enemy position on the opposite side, and then put it down for a while: "If my judgment is correct, the enemy will launch a new attack in about an hour." ”
"Yes, that's exactly the same as my judgment." Wang Weiyi said: "We have enough ammunition, but we are seriously short of manpower, I think we will fall into a bitter battle." ”
"German soldiers are never afraid of any battle." Rommel still looked so confident: "Lieutenant Ernst, have you noticed? Your B position is very far away from my C position, and if the enemy launches a massive attack, I think we can support each other."
Wang Weiyi has noticed this for a long time.
The B position, which was defended by the third company, was very close to the C position, and he thought of it when he first came to the position. It's just that this tactic hadn't been conceived before, and second, the battle broke out quickly, and he didn't have time to get in touch with the C position.
It's just that Wang Weiyi never thought that it was Erwin Rommel in the C position!
"I fully accept this offer." Wang Weiyi didn't hesitate too much: "If this is the case, then our two positions will be connected as one, and no matter which side the enemy attacks, we will be attacked." ”
Rommel nodded in satisfaction, but there was still no smile on his face: "Well, now let's talk about that strange thing invented by the British." ”
The "strange thing" in Rommel's mouth is obviously referring to the tank.
Wang Weiyi thought for a moment: "Lieutenant Erwin, that's a tank"
He carefully introduced Rommel to the tank.
The tank was the Britishman E. . D. Swinton made Terry discover in an accident that if a tractor was equipped with a gun or a machine gun, wouldn't it be invincible? In October 1914, the European theater of the First World War was at a stalemate. Lieutenant Colonel Swinton, who was serving in the British Expeditionary Force, proposed the need to break this dull stalemate on the western front by creating an armored vehicle capable of carving out roads across barbed wire, climbing over trenches, and destroying and suppressing machine-gun fire.
At that time, the British Army had no interest in this, but Churchill, who was the Secretary of the Navy at the time, was like a treasure and ordered the formation of the "Land Battleship Committee" to personally lead the development of the "Land Battleship". In February 1915, the British government adopted Swinton's suggestion and used automobile, tractor, gunsmithing and metallurgical techniques to build a prototype in September 1915 and successfully tested the prototype called the "Little Nomad", with a total weight of 18 tons, armor thickness of 6 mm, and a 7.7 mm "Maxim" machine gun and several 7.7 mm "Lewis" machine guns.
In 1916, the British produced the "Mark I" tank, which had a diamond-shaped outline, rigid suspension, protruding gun mounts on the tracks on both sides of the hull, two tracks around the hull from the top, and a pair of steering wheels protruding from the rear of the car. The tank has a crew of 8 people, and there are two types, "male" and "female". The "male" was armed with 2 57-mm guns and 4 machine guns, and the "female" was armed with only 5 machine guns.
These materials were firmly remembered in Wang Weiyi's mind, and it was effortless to say them smoothly, but in Rommel's ears, the lieutenant company commander of the Fontenburg Mountain Battalion finally showed a surprised expression on his face.
It's too detailed, it's too detailed, and the company commander Ernst Brem in front of him is as if he has witnessed the whole process of the birth of the tank.
"How did you know about it, Lieutenant Ernst?" Rommel asked, puzzled.
Wang Weiyi hesitated for a moment: "Ah, Lieutenant Erwin, maybe you don't know, not long ago we came here with Sergeant Heinrich Elena from the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Army Staff, she told me when she was leaving. ”
"Heinrich?" There was still a smile on Rommel's face: "No wonder, it turned out that Heinrich told you that those people in the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Army Staff are indeed powerful." ”
Wang Weiyi had some bad premonitions in his heart: "Do you recognize Sergeant Heinrich?" ”
"Yes." Rommel smiled and replied, "That's my cousin." ”
Damn, Wang Weiyi cursed himself in his heart, what excuse is it not good, do you have to say that Elena told him? Isn't this asking for trouble yourself?
Elena is actually Rommel's cousin? God, I never had this in my database. There is such a coincidence in the world. If their cousins meet in the future and talk about themselves, won't their lies be exposed immediately?
Wang Weiyi had a headache, but there was nothing he could do about it when things got to this point
Where did Rommel know what was going on in his mind? After carefully inquiring about the way to deal with the tank, and then carefully discussed with Wang Weiyi how the two sides would cooperate with each other to support each other in the next battle, and then straightened up:
"Lieutenant Ernst, it's an honor to know you, and hopefully in the upcoming battle, we will be able to give those Englishmen a little color."
"It's also an honor for me to get to know." Wang Weiyi said absent-mindedly.
Rommel did not stay here for long, the enemy was gathering on the opposite position, and it was clear that a new attack was about to begin.
Rommel returned to his position, Wang Weiyi was a little frustrated, what if his lies were exposed? Will I be mistaken for a spy? Or is it being treated like a monster by someone else?
That damn Dr. Qin, what did you do by getting yourself into this plane?
"Hey, Lieutenant, the enemy is attacking!"
Sergeant Hall's words interrupted Wang Weiyi's train of thought, since things have developed to this point, what's the point of thinking about it more?
