Chapter 1080: Persuasion
, Chapter 1080 Persuasion
The German army surrounded more than 400,000 British and French soldiers on three sides of Dunkirk, and the situation of the British and French forces was described as the most appropriate with the momentum of the turtle in the urn, as long as the German army made the final blow, the war situation on the European continent could be basically determined, but at the critical moment, the German Führer Hitler issued an incredible order, the German army units, stop the attack on Dunkirk.
From Battle's telegram from the Dunkirk battlefield, Tang Qiuli knew the news, and couldn't help but sigh, history still repeats itself, Hitler still made a fatal mistake, the price of this mistake is enough to bury the future and fate of the Third Reich, fortunately, Tang Qiuli learned the news at the first time.
I don't know what Hitler's psychology was, the German General Staff did not mention a word about this matter in its daily routine war briefings, the British and French forces were still in chaos, the large-scale evacuation of Britain had not yet officially begun, and there was still much to be done, and Tang Qiuli had to correct this mistake of the German Führer.
Just after receiving Battle's telegram, in less than an hour, Tang Qiuli prepared a telegram to Hitler, "Your Excellency, Honorable Führer, first of all, congratulations to your ** team on its complete victory in the European battlefield, at Dunkirk, the last main force of the Anglo-French coalition on the European continent, Qiuli is very happy for the victory of his old friend. ”
"However, Qiuli has learned the astonishing news that this morning, Your Excellency, the Führer, ordered the German army to stop the ground attack on Dunkirk and to use the Luftwaffe to complete the final blow instead.
"In April, it was the cloudy and foggy season in the English Channel, and if Dunkirk was covered in clouds for several days in a row, what would the Luftwaffe do? The British will inevitably take advantage of the rare opportunity to organize a large number of ships from the mainland to receive the Anglo-French troops from Dunkirk, so as to avoid the fate of total annihilation. ”
"I have to frankly point out that this order of the Führer is really a move to delay the fighter planes, and there is an old Chinese saying that 'let the tiger go back to the mountain, and there will be troubles for the future'; if the last main force of the British and French forces on the European battlefield can escape the fate of being annihilated, in the future, it will definitely use the British Isles as a base and return to the European continent; if so, the threat to Germany can be described as huge, and it is extremely likely that Germany will lose this war subsequently, and it is by no means an alarmist statement."
"Therefore, the German army should use all the existing forces to carry out the final blow to the Anglo-French troops gathered in Dunkirk, then your ** team can let go of the war to unify the European continent, and there is no worries, the soldiers are fast, the Führer should immediately revoke the original order, eliminate a qiē interference, and issue a mobilization order to attack Dunkirk, the quickest way to end the war is to continue the offensive, and Qiuli is in distant Asia, looking forward to the good news of the German victory at Dunkirk."
An absolutely long telegram, Tang Qiuli can be described as painstaking, eloquent, and well-intentioned, he does not want the German army to lose the ability to fight against the Soviets because of this fatal mistake that has been proven by history, which is not good for Tang Qiuli's long-term strategic plan, so he spoke bitterly, and did not have any scruples at all, and bluntly expressed his opinions.
He believed that after Hitler saw his telegram, he could suddenly wake up and correct his mistakes, and Tang Qiuli had no good impression of Britain and France, the two Western powers that burned down the Old Summer Palace, and if he had the opportunity, he would not hesitate to repay this old historical debt.
As for the Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Goering, who is in the limelight, competing for merit and favor, and stupid as a pig, if he had been by Tang Qiuli's side, he would have been sent to retire a long time ago, you are a veteran, but it is not good to occupy the pit and not and get in the way, I really don't know how Hitler could tolerate such a person, stay by his side and steal a high position.
After the telegram was sent, Tang Qiuli anxiously waited for Hitler's reply, but from midnight to the east, five or six hours passed, and there was still no news from the German side, so Tang Qiuli had no choice but to send a telegram to Battle again, asking about the latest changes in the Dunkirk battlefield.
Battle's reply was very fast, and sure enough, as Tang Qiuli said, since yesterday evening, in the area of Dunkirk, thick clouds and fog, Goering, whose cowhide was blowing through the sky, did not even dare to send out a plane, and Battle's German Army Group A, Guderian's First Panzer Army, tens of thousands of soldiers and thousands of tanks, were in the fog, listening to the noisy voices of the British and French soldiers in the direction of Dunkirk, and doing nothing.
In the telegram, Battle could not hide his anxious mood, his "Lightning" armored assault division, in the sharp knife position of the 1st Panzer Army, was the closest unit to Dunkirk in the entire Army Group A, and the other German units were lazy and had nothing to do, only Battle's troops, under his strict orders, were in a state of ready to fight.
Although the other German officers in the division somewhat did not understand the order of this young division commander from China, the order of the head of state to stop the attack, is it necessary for us to wait for it like this? still conscientiously carried out the order of the division commander, on the one hand, because of the disciplined quality of the Germanic people, and more importantly, because of the prestige that Batel played in many battles, and the moral officers in the division had an almost superstitious worship of Batel.
In the evening of the next day, Hitler finally telegraphed back, thankfully, the stubborn and self-righteous German Führer finally seriously considered Tang Qiuli's construction, "My old friend, thank you very much for your heartfelt construction, as you said, for the past two days, Dunkirk has been shrouded in fog and thick clouds, Goering's air force has not been able to be dispatched at all, and I have given the order to the front-line troops to resume the offensive half an hour ago." ”
Tang Qiuli secretly rejoiced that Hitler was finally willing to listen to his own construction, and at this time, more than 30 hours had passed, and the large-scale retreat of the British had already begun preliminarily, and Hitler's orders were conveyed to the German troops on the Dunkirk front, which caused the troops to be in a hurry at that time.
The commanders of the German army on the front line thought that there was nothing to do with the army, and there was no work necessary to prepare for the offensive, and the various units were busy drawing up offensive plans, adjusting the deployment of troops, replenishing fuel and ammunition, and hundreds of thousands of troops.
At this time when every second counts, more than ten hours is enough for more than 100,000 soldiers of the British and French armies to cross the English Channel and escape the fate of annihilation.
With the strength of one division, drive the offensive momentum of the entire German army, in the face of more than 400,000 British and French troops, Tang Qiuli's approach is risky enough, and Tang Qiuli has realistic considerations in doing so.
There is a rule in Sun Tzu's Art of War, called winning in chaos, Tang Qiuli asked Battelle to do this trick, so, under the stunned expressions of all the German generals and marshals, hundreds of tanks of the "Lightning" Assault Division of the First Panzer Army roared, in the fog of Dunkirk, a burst of blue smoke, the muzzle of the cannon spit tongues of fire, to the British and French rearguard blocking position, launched a fierce attack, and at this time, less than an hour before the German Führer issued the order to re-attack.
Battle's assault achieved remarkable results, the rearguard of the British and French forces, hastily organized blocking positions, as weak as paper paste, less than an hour after the attack was launched, they successively broke through the two blocking lines of the British and French forces, and in the telescope, Battle could already see the crowded British and French soldiers on the beach by the beach in Dunkirk, the chaotic crowd.
This is a typical single knife breakthrough, a knife kills, Battle in the pre-war mobilization, but also very colorful, "German soldiers, war is a splendid stage for soldiers, today, as your division commander, I am willing to lead you to face the danger, to meet the enemy's bullets and bullets, the entire front line, we are the first German ** team to attack, such an honor, can only belong to our glorious lightning armored assault division, soldiers, brave attack!" Crush the enemy, destroy the enemy, glory belongs to us! Offensive! ”
The pre-war mobilization with great emotion and incitement greatly encouraged the morale of the German soldiers, making them enthusiastic, the bones of the soldiers, there is no lack of passion, and the lack of people who ignite passion, European soldiers, there is a knightly complex in their bones, if Tang Qiuli is on the scene, seeing Battle's expression, he will be comforted by his life, his younger brother who has just arrived in Germany is an ignorant and young boy.
After several years of studying in a foreign country and several battlefield exercises, Battle grew rapidly, and when the German tank painted with a black cross appeared in front of the British and French soldiers, it immediately caused a great panic, which was enough to kill the hundreds of thousands of soldiers huddled together.
The sudden attack disrupted the position of the British and French troops, and when Battle was in the tank, he saw that there were headless flies everywhere, but the British and French soldiers who were scurrying around, he immediately reported the situation to the commander of the group army, General Guderian, whose reaction was only half a beat slower than Battle, and then, the entire First Panzer Army, following behind the "Lightning" assault division, joined the battlefield.
