Chapter 10 10 First Division

"The first group raises the flag!" an officer shouted from a trench with camouflage nets, "The hunter team has found the target and determined that the commander of the BLU attacking force has been hit!"

Two reporters were lying on the table and recording, and next to them were General Sickert with a telescope.

On the side, Accardo was pointing to the combat map and saying something to Harmon, the commander of the First Division, who nodded incessantly.

"How's the battle going?" Putting down the binoculars, Sickett turned around and walked over to the table and asked casually.

"Commander, we have used the hunter group to cooperate with a battalion of soldiers to take out at least 900 enemy troops, and according to the regulations of the combat exercise, a division of the enemy army attacking frontally has lost its offensive capability. ”

"According to the information released by the reconnaissance company, a large number of enemy troops have gathered in the village of Merrill four kilometers to the west, and two tank battalions of our army have attacked there with infantry, and the blue judges have determined that the enemy army has been completely annihilated, and another division of the enemy army has lost one regiment and one battalion, and so far our army has won a complete victory. ”

"Snipers are so powerful in urban combat, you don't have to know, you need to be shocked! At first, Colonel Aka asked me to form ten sniper teams in the division, but I was not very willing, and now it seems that twenty is not too much!" Harmon said excitedly on the side: "With a small number of infantry, he actually knocked out hundreds of people on the opposite side in a ruin, and he only lost more than forty people." ”

"If it weren't for General Sickert, I wouldn't have traded seven sniper squads for such a hundred and ten enemies. Accardo sighed, and complained in a tone that he had lost money in a transaction: "The sniper team I have carefully cultivated, if it is used in strict accordance with the combat regulations, at most a dozen people will be killed, and the other party will lose the strength of a regiment here!"

"Isn't that useful, aren't these teams you trained to prevent enemy troops from entering the city?" asked Sickert as he looked at Accardo in shock.

"Stop?" Accardo sneered wickedly at the corners of his mouth, waved his hand and denied, "Of course not! If it were to be my command, I would put the enemy into the south of the city, destroy the enemy with snipers lying in ambush on all sides, and cooperate with the armored forces that crushed the enemy from the flanks to surround and eat these enemy troops." ”

The two operational staff officers looked at Accardo stunned, even General Sickt didn't know what to say, General Harmon next to him dropped his pencil to the ground in shock, Accardo's battle plan surprised them, in the face of twice the enemy's strength, the first division of the Wehrmacht actually planned to defeat half of it, and then eat the other half.

"Your soldiers need to rest! Accardo! If you fight like this, the armored forces that outflank the enemy in front will be overtired, and eventually your battle line will collapse, and the enemy will completely crush the 1st Division!" Harmon retorted, shaking his head against Accardo's assumption.

"What if our infantry were transported to the front line not on bicycles, but by trucks and armored vehicles? Accardo stood by his point.

"But your battle did not complete the task of protecting the city, although the first division killed the opponent, but our city is also finished. General Sickert frowned and said, "We are the Wehrmacht, and our mission is to protect the German people behind us. ”

"General Sickert, one day the German people will stand up and fight for the land for the plough under their feet with the sword in their hand!" said Accardo stubbornly.

"But not recently! Colonel Acre! Our troops are not enough for offensive operations in a short period of time, and we can only barely maintain our defense, right?" Sickett was a little angry, he saw the strength of the First Division, but he also found the problem of the First Division, this division was obviously prepared for the attack, but he wanted a defensive force.

Their topic was too sensitive, and the two division staff officers in the field fortifications hurriedly walked out, walked a few steps away with the guards at the gate, formed a small circle in the open field about twenty meters away, and lit cigarettes with each other.

"Your Excellency, General, there is a passage on your notepad: 'What no peace treaty, no enemy, can take away from us is strong faith. When fate calls the German people again to take up arms - and the day will come - it will see warriors, not cowards, holding on to the weapons of loyalty. As long as you have steely hands and will, it doesn't matter what weapon you use. 'Right?' Accardo asked, staring at Sickt.

"When did you rummage through my personal belongings? Sickert was even more dissatisfied with his men, and he felt the urge to explode.

"Your Excellency General! What we want to do is to save the whole of Germany and let this country stand tall among the world's great powers in the near future! So we can't change slowly, we don't have so much time!" Accardo walked in front of Sickert and said solemnly: "The army should be modernized in all directions, and defeat the opponent with a new type of war that the enemy has never seen before, and the important thing in the new war is no longer the strength of troops, but speed!"

"Can you let 100,000 men defeat a million? Believe me, Accardo, there is always a limit that cannot be remedied, and the lack of troops will eventually kill Germany! Sickert did not believe in Accardo's dreams or his words, and his stubbornness was well-known in the General Command.

"What if we could have more soldiers?" Accardo asked as he pulled out a cigarette, put it to his mouth, took out a lighter, lit it, and took a deep breath.

"The Allied Commission's ban on Germany having reservists is a loophole that we can't find! Although we have tried to circumvent some of these provisions, the recent gains have not been significant. You know that. Sickert thought through all his efforts, and he didn't know what Accardor could do to create an invisible force.

"They allow us to have 100,000 infantrymen, but we can also use hundreds of thousands of policemen! Our soldiers can be trained as company commanders, and the police force can be trained as squad leaders, so that we have 100,000 company commanders and 300,000 squad leaders. Accardo spoke out his plan.

"Whew. Sickert covered his mouth and fell into deep thought, Accardo's plan was perfect, which would allow the German armed forces to retain the most elite backbone, this force was too wasteful to fight, if it was used for command, it was simply perfect.

"Write me a plan that will be on my desk tomorrow, and this plan is top secret, and I don't want a fourth person to know about it before I execute it. Sickert looked at his old subordinate, who was also his right-hand man, Harmon.

Accardo and Harmon immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes!

The next afternoon, Accardo, who had not closed his eyes all night, yawned and placed the plan on Sickert's desk, and took the coffee that Miss Grace had brought him.

A thick stack, there are tens of thousands of words, this plan is simply a devil's book, the whole plan actually covers more than a dozen fields, more than 30 branch plans, if developed according to this plan, Germany can not only build a world-class armed force in a short period of time, and even provoke a world war is definitely not a utopia.

As for the grand blueprint for the reorganization of the entire Wehrmacht, Accardo laid out a new path with a sketchy plan.

First, Accardo divided the new IDF into five mobile strike forces, three on the western border and two on the eastern border, each of which has three integrated army divisions totaling about 150,000 elite soldiers. These soldiers were handpicked from the three million old German army and can definitely be called the most elite force.

These forces will be connected by well-developed railways and roads, and can be quickly mobilized, and with the more than 50,000 border guards on the border, they will be able to counterattack and crush at least a frontal attack of more than 500,000 enemy troops.

This plan alone exceeded the German Army 100 percent of the quota stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles, using a large number of armed forces to evade Allied inspectors by posing as civilians, and elaborating plans to deceive Allied inspectors by means of time lag and other means.

This report made Sickt break out in a cold sweat, and he always thought that he was the savior of the German nation, and he hoped that the German people would be able to stand up again by his efforts.

I didn't expect that there was such a young man, who was already organizing a war change now that he had just failed, and wanted to change the rules of war by himself, so that Germany could return to the leading position, and launch a revenge plan for the whole world in the leading position.

Danger or opportunity? Sickert is faced with an important choice: If Accardo is sent to a corner to cool down now, then this crazy plan of arms expansion and warfare will be put on hold, and the whole of Germany will slowly re-emerge according to its own ideas; if Accardo's plan is allowed or even supported, then Germany's military strength will expand geometrically, and in ten or twenty years, Germany will be able to destroy any opponent and become a world-class military power.

World-class military power...... This temptation is so sweet! Sickert's heart twitched, and the fingers holding Wen Jiàn also trembled involuntarily, for the sake of this dream, it is worth taking the risk! If this plan gets out of control, then I can suppress it immediately, this is not a problem, once the army grows, then the Kaiser can even return to his throne, isn't it? Sickert put down Wen Jiàn and looked at Accardo.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "Mr. Major, tomorrow, I will submit your plan to President Ebert and Field Marshal Hindenburg, the most important leader of the military, hoping that the one you plan will become the cornerstone of the rise of this nation, and not the poison that will bury the whole of Germany!"
