Chapter 1032 Let my brother take the lead

In the early morning of September 1, 1939, the great war that broke out in Europe showed a one-sided trend from the beginning, with more than 2,000 German planes roaring towards various valuable targets in Poland, and on the ground, artillery roared, and more than 2,000 tanks, accompanied by more than 1.6 million German soldiers, rushed into Poland like a tide.

On the European continent at that time, Poland was a moderately developed industrialized country, and its troops' equipment, mechanization, and total strength were not much inferior to Germany, but under the German steel torrent blitzkrieg, it was destroyed in only about a month, and more than one million Polish troops were either annihilated or became prisoners of war, and Poland became the first country in history to taste the power of "blitzkrieg".

Tang Qiuli gathered the senior officers in Guangzhou together to personally experience the war that took place in Europe tens of thousands of miles away, and his intention was very simple, that is, to let the officers understand what modern warfare is, with the improvement of the level of mechanized equipment of the various corps of the independent division, and when fighting the Japanese army, one victory after another, officers at all levels have developed a kind of pride and arrogance, and Tang Qiuli just wants them to know what is the theory of a large mechanized corps and a large in-depth operation.

Lest they think that Lao Tzu is invincible in the world, now it seems that the effect is obvious, these officers gasped after listening to the battlefield situation reported on the radio, absolutely shocked, more than 1 million troops, more than 2,000 tanks, 2,000 aircraft, 6,000 artillery pieces and mortars, my good man, what a big battle this is, our little strength, I'm afraid we can't even withstand it for a few days, there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people!

The outbreak of war in Europe, the inevitable conflict between Britain and France with Germany, the world situation will change fundamentally, as an ally of Germany, the next move of the Japanese should be to focus on the rich land in Southeast Asia, as the main force responsible for the future battlefield operations in Southeast Asia, Terauchi Shouichi's southern dispatch army, the current situation, should affect all the thoughts of the Japanese base camp.

The officers had shocked and thoughtful expressions, and after leaving, Tang Qiuli hastily ate a bite of breakfast and rushed to the office in the Guangdong Provincial Garrison Command building.

After Tang Qiuli moved the division headquarters to Guangzhou, all the organs of the division headquarters were relocated, and as a second-level department of the independent division's intelligence department, the telecommunications interception and code-breaking center, also arrived in Guangzhou, Bai Luoyu's work in this department was still very effective, and he deciphered many military communication secrets between various units of the Japanese army.

Yu Deshui, the director of intelligence, praised Bai Luoyu's work, and mentioned it many times in front of Tang Qiuli, in fact, Tang Qiuli is very concerned about his younger brother Battle's girlfriend behind his back, Mei Xue also takes great care of her as a sister-in-law, and the little girl is very happy about her work and life in the division headquarters, Tang Qiuli sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart.

But today, Bai Luoyu's expression was not quite right, he was about to bump into Tang Qiuli, but he still didn't notice anything, "Hey, Luoyu, what's wrong?" Tang Qiuli asked strangely, Bai Luoyu reacted at this time, and hurriedly said, "It's the division commander, it's nothing," holding Wen Jiàn, he was about to leave in a panic.

Tang Qiuli was inexplicable, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and just after taking a few steps, Bai Luoyu shouted behind him: "Senior Commander, can I ask you something?" Tang Qiuli turned around and was surprised to see the little girl's eyes red, lonely and helpless, and her pitiful appearance, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter, come to the office and tell me." ”

Closing the door, Bai Luoyu suddenly shed tears, Tang Qiuli hurriedly asked, "What's wrong Luoyu?" Isn't going well at work or is someone bullying you? Bai Luoyu raised the beautiful face of pear blossoms and rain, and said with a slight choked voice: "No, Brother Qiu Li, Europe is at war, do you think Battelle will be in danger?" I had a nightmare last night. ”

The little girl's voice almost hooked out Tang Qiuli's tears, and patted her head, oops! Careless, why don't you forget about this stubble, Bai Luoyu is in the intelligence department, which is the most well-informed department among the agencies of the independent division, so big things have happened in Europe, can she not know that Battle is now serving in the German armored forces. This time the front attack on Poland, the armored forces took the lead.

Europe is fighting with gunsmoke and war, it's strange that the little girl is not worried, and hurriedly wiped the tears from the little girl's face and comforted her, "Luo Yu, don't worry, the eldest brother can vouch, Battle is fine, the German army is progressing smoothly, the momentum is like a bamboo, and it is not a war of attrition, so, for a while, I opened a radio contact with Germany, and specially asked about this matter, if it doesn't work, we will transfer Battle back to China, you are worried about the province, how about it?" ”

Bai Luoyu suddenly blushed, burst into laughter, and asked, "Brother Qiuli, what you said is true?" I'm not worried about him," he turned around and ran away in a panic, not even saluting a military salute, looking at the slender back of the little girl, it was clearly a kind of expectation and relaxation to let go of his worries, Tang Qiuli suddenly felt a little sour and blamed himself, he didn't take care of Bai Luoyu for his younger brother, his brother is not very competent.

He picked up the phone, "Xue'er, you go and see Luo Yu in a while, this little girl is worried about Battle, and she was still crying with me just now," On the other side of the phone, Mei Xue agreed crisply, Tang Qiuli took his mind back, it is already more than eight o'clock in the morning on September 1, and the German attack on Poland should be going very smoothly, the German Führer, it is time to report the good news to himself.

Just thinking about it, Chen Feng, the director of communications, came in, "Division commander, telegram from the German Führer's capital," Tang Qiuli smiled, the German Führer is really an interesting person, "My old friend, I have good news for you, our great German army launched a full-scale attack on Poland at more than four o'clock this morning, and the current progress is going well, Guderian's First Panzer Army has broken through forty kilometers into Poland, congratulations to me, in the next few weeks, I will let those countries on the European continent in front of our German army, Shivering! ”

Tang Qiuli saw from the telegram of the German Führer that the spring breeze was proud and invincible, and there was strong self-confidence, and in all fairness, he still admired the Führer's Excellency who was a little nervous, and challenged the whole of Europe with the strength of one country, which not only required courage, but also required great madness and great ambition.

At the same time, he was vaguely worried about Battle, Guderian's armored cluster took the lead, and Battle served in Guderian's troops, damn, how did Hitler do it, using his younger brother as a pioneer, such a dangerous thing, thanks to him Hitler did it? When I was in Germany, I had already said that I was just in the German armored forces, learning armored composite tactics, no, I had to talk to him about it.

Tang Qiuli said to Chen Feng: "Call back, congratulations to Your Excellency the Führer, the victory in the first battle, I myself am firmly convinced that the German ** team under the command of His Excellency the Führer, will surely sweep across the European continent and achieve a greater victory, by the way, how is my brother Battle?" Not injured, right? ”

This time, Hitler quickly telegraphed back, "My old friend, I know that you are reproaching me for letting your brother go to the front, and I need to explain that before attacking Poland, I had ordered Guderian to transfer his brother from the front back to Berlin, but he insisted on joining the battle. ”

"In addition, Brother Ling is very outstanding in my ** team, and he has been awarded an Iron Cross by me personally, serving as the lieutenant colonel of the Third Tank Division, according to Guderian's report, in this battle, Brother Ling's tank regiment rushed to the front of the armored group that served as the main attack, and defeated a division of the Polish army, with remarkable achievements, I immediately ordered Guderian to transfer Brother Ling back to Berlin, so as not to worry my old friend."

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli was somewhat relieved, and then, his heart came up again, this guy Battle, who is naturally adventurous, doesn't know what the danger is, as soon as he heard about the war, his eyes lit up, with such an opportunity to fight, it's strange if he doesn't rush to the front, no, let him return to China immediately.

So, he sent a telegram back to the German Führer, asking him to arrange for Battell's return to China as much as possible, the reason was very simple, he was about to engage in a large-scale battle with the Japanese, and he urgently needed talents who were proficient in commanding tank troops, Tang Qiuli was not afraid of Hitler's excuse to delay, in fact, His Excellency the Führer hoped that Battelle would return to China as soon as possible, and the bullet did not have eyes, and in case the younger brother of China's No. 2 man had an accident on the battlefield, Hitler would not be able to explain to Tang Qiuli.

The next day, new news came from the European theater, the German army had approached the Polish capital Warsaw, the Polish government had evacuated the capital in a panic, and more than 200,000 Polish troops were surrounded by the German Southwest Army Corps and the Southern Army Corps near Danzig, and by the evening of the 2nd, the Polish army laid down its arms and surrendered.

In this battle, the Polish army suffered more than 85,000 casualties, the rest were captured, and the door to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was opened, others may not know, the result of this war, Tang Qiuli is well aware, and in more than 20 days, the country of Poland will not exist, and he also knows that the Soviet Red Tsar, Comrade Stalin, who has a pathological fanaticism about the territory, will soon take action and share a piece of the Polish territory with the Germans.

He is not very interested in the distant European battlefield, what he pays attention to is how the Japanese will react, on the front line of Loushan Pass, he continues to fight to the death with the Central Army commanded by Xue Yue, and the entangled Terauchi Shouichi has no sign of returning to Nanning, Tang Qiuli admires this old devil very much.

After all this kind of process, I still don't realize the approaching danger, is it a worry or a dazed feeling? The battlefield of Loushanguan has not changed, but where Longyun in Yunnan has opened a posture, to fight to the death with the Japanese army, and live and die with Kunming.
