Eight hundred and fifty. A continuation of a "tradition".
This is an absurd conspiracy.
In fact, it is not necessarily a conspiracy, even Ernst. Neither did Bram himself foresee such a situation happening.
Italy, the "ally" of the Allies, in turn, did its enemies a great favor.
It's not a big deal, anyway, the Italians did too much of this in the two world wars.
Let. Doss and his French 33rd Infantry Division were not aware of the approaching danger at all, they trusted the Italians too much as General Garden, who did not even send aerial reconnaissance.
In fact, they saw that the Germans had withdrawn from their positions, and the whole position was empty except for a mess.
General Catavaso and his Italian soldiers have done a good job until now. Doss thought so.
He ordered his troops to speed up the march, and they had to rush to the battle site as soon as possible and launch a surprise attack on the German flank on time.
However, by this time the nightmare had befallen General Doss and his 33rd French Infantry Division......
......
"Marshal, the French are approaching us."
"All combat units, prepare for offensive attacks!" Wang Weiyi, who was standing in the "Leopard VII" tank, coldly gave such an order.
Now, it's time for those enemies to know that the Skeleton Baron has returned, and that the Skeleton Baron's majesty is not to be challenged by anyone.
Perhaps he has been away for too long, and the shock to the enemy is not as strong as it used to be. After appearing on the battlefield yourself. The Allies dared to organize a large-scale military offensive with impunity.
In that case, it is necessary to teach them a heavy lesson!
The Skull Commando, Nordland Combat Regiment, and the 2nd and 6th Brigades of the National Army are ready. Since the enemy needs a lesson, give it to them in its entirety!
Self-propelled guns and tanks showed their hideous bloody mouths. silently waiting for the moment when the roar sounded...... The soldiers clenched their weapons and silently waited for the moment when the order to charge arrived...... The officers straightened their uniforms and silently waited for the glorious moment......
......
"General, a large number of enemy troops have been found in front!"
"What, a large force of enemy troops? Haven't the Germans already been routed? ”
"General, reconfirmed, a large number of Germans appeared. And preparations are underway for the offensive! ”
"Report to Commander Garden. 33rd Infantry Division, ready for battle! ”
When let. By the time Doss shouted this order, the German artillery fire had already sounded first.
December 11, 1965 at 5:30 p.m. Ernst. Marshal Brem took advantage of the lies of the Italians to lure the 33rd Infantry Division of the French Army into going deep and personally commanded the Skeleton Commando, the Nordland Combat Regiment and the 2nd and 6th Brigades of the National Army to counterattack!
This was the first counterattack by the Germans after the start of the "Unicorn" operation plan, and. It's Ernst. Commanded by Marshal Bram himself.
German concentrators were locally superior in artillery fire. Taking advantage of the favorable time when the French army advanced too deep and a large number of equipment and baggage could not keep up, a ferocious blow was inflicted on the French army.
The shells rained wildly in the middle of the French, and the sound of explosions destroyed everything around them. The French, who had not expected this situation at all, were suddenly in disarray.
However, the German artillery fire did not have any intention of stopping, they bombarded the enemy round after round, and destroyed the enemy's determination to resist with one shell after another.
Counterattack - this is a baronial counterattack that everyone is familiar with!
Once the Skeleton Baron decides to fight back, there is no one on the entire planet to stop him......
"We were attacked, we were attacked. Lots of Germans! "Let's. Doss frantically shouted: "Yes, the enemy has not been routed. Heavy artillery fire! I need air support, I need ground support! ”
"General Doss, I'm Garden, hold on, you have to hold on, air support will arrive soon."
"As soon as possible, as soon as possible!"
With a "boom-" sound, a cannonball exploded not far away, and the adjutant pounced on General Doss, and a large amount of earth fell on them along with gravel.
General Doss scrambled to his feet, only to find that his lieutenant was dead, much to his horror.
Without the heroism of the adjutant, perhaps now he himself has become a corpse. Those damned Italians, that damned Katahuaso, didn't he say that the Germans' troops had been routed? Why did so many German troops suddenly appear in front of them?
Shoot him, these damned Italians deserve to be shot!
Unfortunately, Doss is now not thinking about shooting the Italians, but about how to deal with the embarrassing situation in front of him. Because - the Germans have already begun to attack!
"Attack - before the arrival of the enemy air force, rush forward!" After Wang Weiyi gave this order, he quickly got into the tank, and the "Leopard" tank let out a huge roar, and then rushed out like a monster.
And behind its god was a large number of German soldiers who rushed out......
Wang Weiyi knew very well that the Germans now lacked air cover, unless Xiaoling completely unlocked the Constantine base and Richthofen officially fulfilled his duties as Luftwaffe Field Marshal.
And before that, everything possible must be done to counteract the enemy's air superiority.
The German counterattack officially began, and the French, who had been subjected to a surprise attack of shells, were now panicking. There was an innate fear of the German army in their hearts.
In the First World War and the Second World War, the French suffered at the hands of the Germans. Even their capital, Paris, was falling rapidly.
The French were no match for the Germans - this was the idea in the minds of most French officers.
So, in the face of the fierce German troops, almost the same thought arose in the hearts of many Frenchmen: to run, to get out of this terrible place as soon as possible.
The deep-seated fear that has been built up over decades is difficult to dispel in a short period of time......
Let. Doss has not forgotten his duty. If the old ones turned around and ran away like this, they would not only suffer even greater losses for their own troops, but would also shake the entire battle plan of the Allied forces.
No matter how hard it is. We must also persevere. Let. Doss is still very competent at this point.
He tried his best to keep his troops in the mood and to keep his troops in the line of defense, but it was difficult for his orders to reach the French army in the middle of the chaos.
And the pace of the German offensive was simply too fast.
Although the amount of armor of the German army was not very large, Wang Weiyi still concentrated everything he could. The roaring tanks and assault armoured vehicles made the earth tremble, and the tide of German soldiers made people feel the deepest fear.
In this moment, let. Doss suddenly remembered three terrible words:
Blitzkrieg!
Yes, blitzkrieg. Although this offensive does not have much connection with the real blitzkrieg, it makes . Doss is inevitably reminded of the blitzkrieg in which the German army swept across the European continent in the Second World War!
He lived through the Second World War and became a prisoner of the Germans at the beginning of the war. Later, he looked for an opportunity to run out. However, the terrible scenes he experienced will never be forgotten in his life.
The mighty German army is back!
When a commander's confidence is shaken, then the battle situation is not so easy!
The outposts of the 33rd Infantry Division of the French army were on the verge of collapse under the onslaught of the Germans, and the Germans did not leave the French any time to prepare.
The rhythm of war. It was already completely in the hands of the Germans.
They kept on assaulting forward. Completely ignore the defeated troops, completely ignore the French who threw up their hands and surrendered.
They have only one goal: to crush them and crush every enemy in their path!
The evil spirit and humiliation since the Allied invasion of Germany was being unleashed in the body of this German soldier.
Whether it is the regular army or the irregular armed forces in the national army, their purpose at this time is exactly the same, and their performance is completely heroic and fearless.
This is the beginning of revenge!
Blood and fire engulf this battlefield, and life and death are in the most exciting competition here.
When the Skeleton Baron returns. The gates of hell have been opened, and countless spirits have poured out from the deepest depths of the earth. Under the guidance of the knight on the flaming warhorse, he guarded the land.
That's the Grim Reaper's striker, that's the Grim Reaper's favorite general:
Skeleton Baron!
Whether it was Captain Scherer, Captain Lampden, or Sergeant Max or Allen, they were all in the same mood at the moment.
Previously, they never dreamed that the first unit commanded by Baron Skeleton after his return would actually be them. I didn't expect that they really had the opportunity to follow the baron to create one miracle after another.
But now it's all the most real......
Their mouths roared, and their hearts trembled with excitement. Without hesitation, they followed behind the skeletal banner and launched an attack that stunned the enemy.
The amount of air power promised by General Garden has not yet arrived, which makes Jean. Doss couldn't help but start cursing Gaden. A little later, the French and Germans will be strangled together, so how can the air force bomb and strafe?
Let. Doss was not wrong about this......
......
And at this time, General Cartavaso and his Italian soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief. In order to avoid any further problems, General Caravaso actually cut off contact with the command and the French.
He had to get some rest. As for what is happening on the battlefield, or what is happening, it doesn't have much to do with him.
In the face of the accusations of General Garden or General Doss, Katawasso has already thought of a thousand reasons. The Italians don't have anything else, don't they have mouths? He could use his eloquence to keep those guys speechless.
"General, Doss is under attack." Glota walked in and brought back first-hand information from the front: "They don't seem to be in very good condition. ”
"Ah, poor Doss, poor Frenchman. Orderly, make me a cup of coffee. I, I don't want it instant, that's not what an Italian general should drink. Catavaso felt sorry for the French: "What can we do? Do you want to go back and help them? Yes. No, that would have killed my soldiers. Glota, as a commander, should not think about how much victory he will achieve, but how to love the lives of the soldiers. ”
"You're absolutely right, General." Glota said flatteringly, "If it weren't for your timely orders, we would probably be in a similar situation to the French." Yes. General, I'll get your coffee. ”
Satisfied, Katawasso picked up his pipe. It's really strange, why do you have to fight? Wouldn't it be more pleasant for everyone to sit down and have a cup of coffee......
......
Let. Doss and his French soldiers were betrayed by the Italians. They are forced to face a fate that they simply did not think of before.
Allied planes finally appeared. But as Doss feared, there was no way for the planes to bomb and strafe the two armies strangled together.
At this time, the entire 33rd Infantry Division of the French Army had been shaken, and they fled backwards in a panic, and the entire battlefield had already been defeated for the French.
And at this time, night began to fall, which increased the difficulty of the air force even more.
Wang Weiyi will never let go of such a great opportunity, and he has invested all the troops he can invest.
The battle must end before dawn. This group of enemies must be eaten before dawn. Once this victory was achieved, the confidence of the German officers and men was bound to be greatly enhanced.
The French 33rd Infantry Division was in complete disarray. Many of them died, many surrendered, many threw down their weapons and fled.
Which army can make 100,000 soldiers raise their hands at the same time? The correct answer is the army of France!
What could stop the Germans from taking Paris in three days? The correct answer is damn rainstorm weather!
These were all used by Europeans to ridicule the French army, and it could not have been more appropriate at such a time. Surrender and flight became the mainstream choice of the 33rd Infantry Division of the French Army.
Let. Doss's orders could no longer be given. In the face of the routing troops, he couldn't come up with any good solutions. Now, it's best to get out of here as soon as possible.
Let. Doss also joins the escape sequence, and no one cares if he's a general or anything else at this point......
The humiliating scene was once again played out in the French army, where at a glance there were French soldiers fleeing in a hurry, and behind them, hordes of German soldiers in pursuit.
Countless French people died or surrendered, but one thing frustrated the German soldiers, the damned French ran just too fast, especially those who were on the rearguard duty. When they heard the news of the defeat at the front, they had already taken the initiative to evacuate the battlefield without the orders of their commanders.
It is also very important to learn to run well as a qualified soldier.
The three German tanks charged very quickly, one of them was piloted by Field Marshal Ernst himself, and the tanks on either side loyally guarded their baron.
In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the safety of the baron, at least so far the Germans have not seen French soldiers who will stop and attack.
The arrival of night made the pursuit more difficult, but this was not the most important thing, this counterattack was not to completely destroy the enemy, but only to deal a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.
The Germans in the roar and shouting also knew this......
The things of those national troops were extremely excited, they never thought that the battle could be fought like this. These irregular military forces who were temporarily conscripted into the army were so strong that they could chase a group of regular soldiers who were looking for teeth all over the place.
If every battle had been fought in this way, it might have been possible to drive all the enemies out of Germany in no time.
A small group of enemies was probably too panicked and actually got lost. What makes people feel ridiculous is that after they went around in a big circle, they actually went back to where they were. Moreover, they were quickly surrounded by German troops.
The number of French troops was not very large, and the armament was very good. However, it is clear that their determination to resist is not very strong.
Perhaps, they want to surrender?
Wang Weiyi's tank stopped, and he also noticed the strange Frenchman. He jumped out of the tank with Major Mario: "Major, would you like to make contact with them?" ”
"Of course, it's not the first time I've done something like this."
Major Mario walked towards the Frenchmen without fear, and after about ten minutes he returned to Marshal Ernst's side, and then whistled: "Guess who we surrounded?" The commander of the 33rd Infantry Division of the French Army, Jean. General Doss. ”
Trapping a general is not worth showing off in Wang Weiyi's opinion, there are too many generals captured and killed in his hands: "Major, are they ready to surrender?" ”
"Ah, yes." Mario smiled and said, "They put forward some conditions, and I won't say anything about those conditions, I'm sure you'll all agree." ”
Wang Weiyi also smiled: "Then tell them that they can surrender." As for what ensured the safety of their lives, etc., tell them that Germany completely agrees. ”
It was a fantastic battle, directed by the Germans and starring the Italians and the French, and the battle ended with the usual victory of the Germans and the consistent defeat of the Italians and the French.
What can you say? This is nothing more than a continuation of the tradition of several great wars.
Let. General Doss surrendered, he looked a little embarrassed, and such a defeat was really unacceptable. When he saw the German marshal who had defeated him, he saluted and said, "Jean. Doss, Major General of the French Army. ”
"Ernst. Bleam, German Field Marshal. ”
Ernst. Bream? Skeleton Baron? When hearing the name, let. But Doss put down a heart of shame at once,
It's not a shame to fall at the hands of the Skull Baron! (To be continued......)
