772 When the Hill Meets Nozomi (Part II)
772 When the Hill Meets Xiao Xi (II)
In the wide corridors, the marble floors from Switzerland are recognizable, and even when you sit in the room with a thick wooden door, you can still hear the constant sound of busy and chaotic leather boots hitting the floor. β»β»β»β»β» I β» I β» β»
Wang Shizhen picked up the cup, gently blew open the green tea leaves, and smiled slightly, being able to trample this world-famous palace under his feet may be the great wish of every German soldier, so they got their wish, and it seems that the pace is becoming more and more powerful.
In the spacious office, the senior German generals stood in front of the wide map, pointing and whispering about the current battle situation, while the commander-in-chief, Ludendorff, sat next to him, carefully and carefully analyzing the information, and did not seem to hear the discussion next to him.
"Where is Guderian?"
After a while, Ludendorff got up and walked to the map, Wang Shizhen immediately put down his teacup and walked over, as a high-ranking officer of the Chinese mission in Germany, he had been authorized by the Kaiser and the General Staff to participate in any meeting of the Battle of Paris, and had the right to advise.
Wang Shizhen really didn't value the right to suggest, because he knew his mission very well, and he was not here to help the German army win this battle, but to serve as the eyes and ears of the emperor and observe this army from a close distance.
In the past two years, a number of German officials, including Hoffmann and Guderian, have been recorded in a small notebook that they carry with them, including their temper, personality and strengths, etc., including Ludendorff, who is standing in front of everyone at this time and will become one of China's strong opponents in the future.
The staff officer found Guderian's location on the map and began to explain it to everyone.
Judging from the map, the tank regiment led by Guderian and Ulan can definitely be a sharp dagger, but how much of a short dagger can make a difference in a super battle involving millions of soldiers?
A battle of this level, even if a complete armored division is drawn from the country, will not play much role, so Guderian and Ulan are just the tip of a sword, a decoy! The real killer move was a full cavalry division and three infantry divisions that followed behind them.
After using the armored regiment as an arrow to open the passage, and then using the follow-up cavalry and infantry to quickly follow up and cut off the connection between the enemy's army groups, a certain part of the cut was cut and surrounded in a large area, and a large number of enemy living forces were annihilated.
A tactic that is not complicated, this tactic has been practiced many times in China after the formation of the armored division, and the lightning interspersed battle that Sun Jiugong conducted in Arizona not long ago is actually a variant of this tactic.
Now, Germany has also learned this tactic, and I dare not say how proficient it is, but at least it has released a more obvious signal.
Germany began to attach importance to armored forces, and even to a greater extent than China, otherwise how could it have spent a lot of effort studying China's tactics and making deductions in such a tense battle?
From his point of view, the Germans were not skilled enough in using this tactic, first of all, the follow-up troops were too few and resolute enough, and they were too rigid and inflexible, and there was only one interspersed channel, but it clearly told him that while he was improving, others were constantly catching up.
Wang Shizhen glanced at Ludendorff, and the hidden glint in his eyes flashed.
"According to the plan, Colonel Guderian will launch a surprise attack on St. Calais in an hour, and the cavalry division will follow as soon as the passage is torn open. γ I want to: super fast update γ" The staff officer excitedly drew a circle west of St. Calais on the map: "If it goes well, we will be able to counter-encircle the French and Spanish 2 armies here!" β
2 armies! 200,000 Spanish and French soldiers!
Judging from the scale of the entire campaign, this amount is less than a fraction of the total number of troops, but if it can be successful, it means that the Entente's dream of quickly resolving Paris is completely shattered, and if you are not careful, you may fall into passivity, and the German army will fight a defensive counterattack or even hit the center of France!
"Max Hoffman, hehe...... not only studied our tactics, but also knew how to experiment with weak Spaniards, interesting! I don't know how Sun Jiugong will deal with his old classmate in the future after learning about it! Wang Shizhen secretly muttered the name, although this plan was brought by Ludendorff, but through secret information, he already knew who this plan came from not long ago.
Ludendorff didn't notice Wang Shizhen's abnormality, and after waiting for the staff officer to finish the report, he turned his head: "Your Majesty, do you think they will succeed?" Wang Shizhen smiled: "There is no military plan that can be 100% guaranteed to succeed, but I think ......, they will succeed!" β
"Oh? Why? β
"It's simple." Under the gaze of the German generals, Wang Shizhen walked to the map and pointed to St. Calais, and said word by word: "Because, the Spaniards stationed here!" β
At 10 o'clock in the evening, in the southwest corner of the town of Saint-Calais, there was still a faint light.
At the entrance of the church in the town, the horses were lined up in a long line, and compared with the British and French, who were accustomed to fighting by radio and temporary telephone lines, the Spanish army still stubbornly retained the large cavalry heralds of the Allies.
The church had become a makeshift command post, and the Spanish officers who came in and out of their busy schedules did not forget to glance at the dimly lit room on the second floor, and they all knew that Lieutenant General Gonzales was entertaining a fat Englishman.
"Hey, why did you think that British fat parliamentarian suddenly came to the front? Also made a special trip to see the lieutenant general? β
"How do I know, I don't like British bastards!"
"yes, I don't like it either, Lieutenant General Tonis wronged them too much."
"Haven't the British always been like this? We should not have gone to the Indian Ocean in the first place, now we have lost our battleships, and if the Chinese really enter the Mediterranean, it will be a disaster for us! β
"Didn't the Chinese stop in front of the canal? And they are currently concentrating on the United States, I'm afraid they won't go into the Mediterranean, right? β
"Hmph, do you still need a navy to deal with those stupid Americans? They have enough access to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, they are just waiting for their chance! β
"Damn, what are we going to do then?"
"I don't know, the fat British MP above may know something."
"You know what? I just saw that fat smoked a good Cuban cigar, what a rich man. β
"Tsk, Cuban cigar ......."
As the officers and staff officers waited, a creaking sound finally sounded on the wooden staircase. Out of the corner of his eye, the fat Churchill in everyone's mouth had already walked down with Gonzales, the senior commander of the Spanish European Expeditionary Force. β
"Thank you, Mr. Senator, for your advice, and please tell General Haig and Field Marshal Kitchener on my behalf that Spain will not betray its allies! I'm sorry for what happened during this time, but trust me, it's only a small minority, and the vast majority of Spaniards are still on the side of the allies. β
"Thank you, General, you are the wise soldier I have ever seen, please believe me, I will definitely bring your words back to London in their entirety, so that their damned Germans and yellowskin monkeys know that no one can destroy our friendship and that we are true allies." Churchill smacked his cigar in his hand.
"That's great." Gonzales laughed all the way and sent Churchill out of the gate.
After completing the mission, Churchill did not want to stay longer, after all, it was not far from the front line, not to mention that he had to go back immediately and tell the whole of Britain that he had persuaded "Gonzales and Spain to continue fighting".
"Perhaps, I can go back inside this time." After getting into the car, Churchill smoked a cigar with a sigh of relief, and most of his resentment towards being demoted from Admiralty to Minister of the Navy finally dissipated at this moment.
The truck jolted so violently that Churchill felt like his bones were going to fall apart, and just as he was about to stretch and think about how he could use the opportunity to make a big difference when he returned to England, the lights suddenly lit up in the distance and blinded his eyes.
"Honk the horn and let them go."
Churchill was just about to ask the driver to honk his horn to tell him that there was a car, when a series of fires suddenly appeared from a distance, and red particles like raindrops pierced the retina, and countless sparks shot out of the front of the car in an instant.
"God!"
"Tanks, tanks for the Germans!"
"Fire!"
"One company on the left, two companies on the right!"
"Spread out, surround the town, and don't let anyone go!"
"Sergeant Rudolph, lead your soldiers to follow behind the tank and kill those who come close!"
"Cavalry, Spanish cavalry, machine guns, kill them!"
"Boom, boom, boom......."
"Da da da......."
"Don't stop, keep the assault!"
The noise and explosions quickly flooded the small town of St. Calais, and the tanks were killed along every street like tigers descending from the mountains, and the sudden appearance of German tanks caused the Spanish troops on the periphery to be in chaos, and the soldiers could not find the officers in the dark, and the officers could not find the soldiers, and they were completely scattered and disintegrated in the blink of an eye.
More than 100 50-mm assault guns flashed fire from their muzzles, and the machine guns spilled out shells as if they didn't want money.
Sitting in the cockpit, Ulan is not very accustomed to it, because the European Leopard does not have a special 360-degree rotation of the commander's periscope, both the gunner and the commander must look around through a narrow observation window, which makes several Chinese tank soldiers who came with him also very uncomfortable, but in addition to these small details, they also have to admit that although the European Leopard is not as good as the Siberian Tiger, it is not much different from the domestic Cheetah tank.
Through the observation window, Ulan saw that the 120 German European Leopard tanks had completely dispersed, and the action from assault to encirclement was very fast, which showed that the Germans had also undergone a lot of hard training in armor tactics, and the Spaniards were completely defenseless, so they did not encounter any decent resistance.
"Left!"
When Ulan was still observing, the driver shouted sharply, and the gunner, who had cooperated for many years, aimed the muzzle of the gun to the left without thinking, and a Spanish 57 gun had just been pushed out by several Spanish soldiers, and it was hit hard by a 50-mm assault gun.
After a series of two shells took out this firing point, the tank began to move again, and from time to time you could see the images of European leopards pressing the Spanish soldiers, roads, bushes, meadows, as far as they could see, were covered with the corpses of Spanish soldiers, and the stumps and broken arms were covered all over the town.
The tank stopped at the entrance of the church. After getting out of the car, Ulan was surprised to see that the sergeant "Broom Star" he saw in the evening seemed to be a completely different person, stomping his feet, shouting, commanding the infantry, and actually detaining the Spanish soldiers and officers who were frightened by the tanks with great efficiency, without Guderian and him having to worry about it at all.
"It's small, it's a person." Ulan nodded, and walked into the church, where papers were strewn all over the floor.
The Spaniards paid a heavy price for their lax defenses, coupled with the strong mobility and firepower of the European Leopards, it took less than half an hour for the sudden attack to wipe out the entire town, and when a stained Spanish lieutenant general pushed the soldiers to the church, Guderian and Ulan knew that this time they had made a lot of money!
"Colonel? Shut up over there. β
"You take people to the west and set up a defensive line to be careful of the Spaniards' counterattack."
"To the east, I need a few tanks and infantry to go to the east."
When Guderian and Ulan discussed and sent a telegram back to the command to report the unexpected news, Hitler, who was outside commanding the infantry, was "actively" working, and at this moment he finally enjoyed the sense of saving Germany.
"Sergeant, we caught a British fat man, and he said he was a nobleman, or a parliamentarian, and demanded a fair prisoner of war treatment." The private interrupted Sergeant Hu's work, walked up to Hitler with a fat face covered in mud, and handed him a couple of excellent Cuban cigars: "We also found this." β
"Very well, this is a trophy, only a good soldier can enjoy it!" Hitler returned the cigar to the soldier: "Go and enjoy, but remember to complete the mission first!" β
After the soldier happily left with the best cigar, Hitler circled around Churchill a few times, his eyes shining fiercely, and his beard was warped! Finally, I have seized the opportunity to teach these British idiot aristocrats a lesson!
The glint in Hitler's eyes like a hungry wolf sent chills down Churchill's eyes and he shouted in horror: "I am a British parliamentarian, a nobleman, and I ask to see ......." β
"Seet the fart!"
"Strip him naked and hang him up!"
Xiao Hu found a Spanish horse whip and smiled darkly: "Soldiers, remember our ideals when we started the war?" We can finally pump the white ass of the British aristocracy properly! β
: Well, the latter sentence is just a personal bad taste, and it has nothing to do with this book.
