Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1032 Let my brother take the lead

In the early morning of September 1, 1939, the war that broke out in Europe showed a one-sided trend from the beginning. More than two thousand German aircraft roared towards various valuable targets in Poland. 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. The equipment, mechanization level, and total strength of its troops were not much inferior to those of Germany. However, under the German steel torrent blitzkrieg, the country fell in just about a month.

, more than one million Polish troops were either annihilated or became prisoners of war. Poland became the first country in history to experience the power of "blitzkrieg".

Tang Qiuli summoned senior military officers in Guangzhou to experience first-hand the war that was taking place tens of thousands of miles away in Europe. His purpose was very simple, which was to let the officers understand what modern war is.

The level of mechanized equipment of the various corps of the * Division has improved. When fighting the Japanese army, officers at all levels have developed a kind of arrogance after victory after victory. Tang Qiuli just wants them to know what a mechanized corps is.

Theory of great depth operations.

Lest you think that I am invincible, now it seems that the effect is obvious. After listening to the battlefield situation reported on the radio, these officers all gasped. They were absolutely shocked. There were more than one million troops and more than two thousand tanks.

, two thousand planes, six thousand artillery pieces and mortars, my dear, what a huge battle this is. With our little strength, we may not be able to withstand it for even a few days. There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world!

The European War has broken out, and Britain and France will inevitably conflict with Germany. The world situation will undergo fundamental changes. As an ally of Germany, the next move of the Japanese should be to focus on the fertile land in Southeast Asia as a country responsible for the future.

The current situation of Juichi Terauchi's Southern China Expeditionary Force, the main force fighting in the Southeast Asian battlefield, should affect all the thoughts of the Japanese base camp.

After the officers left with expressions of shock and deep thought, Tang Qiuli ate a hasty breakfast and rushed to his office in the Guangdong Provincial Security Headquarters building. In the corridor, Tang Qiuli unexpectedly met Bai Luoyu.

, this little girl walked towards me with a few folders in her arms and was so preoccupied that she didn't even notice which one was on the other side.

After Tang Qiuli moved the division headquarters to Guangzhou, all the division's agencies moved here. As a secondary department of the ** Division Intelligence Office, the Telecommunications Interception and Code Decryption Center also moved to Guangzhou. Bai Luoyu was in this

The work of the department was quite effective, deciphering many secrets of military communications between various units of the Japanese army.

Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Department, greatly praised Bai Luoyu's work, and mentioned it many times in front of Tang Qiuli. In fact, Tang Qiuli was secretly very concerned about his brother Battle's girlfriend, and Mei Xue also

As a sister-in-law, she took great care of her. The little girl was very happy working and living in the division headquarters. Tang Qiuli saw this and was happy in her heart.

But today, Bai Luoyu's expression was not quite right. He almost bumped into Tang Qiuli, but he still didn't notice anything. "Hey, Luo Yu, what's wrong?" Tang Qiuli asked strangely, and Bai Luoyu finally realized.

He hurriedly said: "It's the teacher, it's nothing." He hugged the folder and left in a panic.

Tang Qiuli was confused and didn't take it to heart. Just after walking a few steps, Bai Luoyu shouted from behind: "Sir, can I ask you something?" Tang Qiuli turned around and saw the little girl's eyes were red.

, lonely, helpless, and pitiful, he was greatly surprised and said quickly: "If you have anything to do, come to the office and tell me."

After closing the door, Bai Luoyu suddenly burst into tears. Tang Qiuli asked hurriedly: "What's wrong, Luo Yu? If your work doesn't go well, who bullied you?" Bai Luoyu raised his beautiful face with pear blossoms and rain, and said slightly choked:

"No, Brother Qiu Li, there is a war in Europe. Do you think Battle will be in danger? I had a nightmare last night."

The little girl's voice, "Brother Qiu Li," almost brought tears to Tang Qiuli's eyes. He slapped his head, oh! Carelessness, why did you forget this problem? Bai Luoyu is in the Intelligence Department, which is the various agencies of the Army.

Among them, the most well-informed department, such a big thing happened in Europe, could she not know that Battelle was currently serving in the German armored forces. This time, the armored forces took the lead in the forward attack on Poland.

The smoke was billowing in Europe and the war was raging. It was strange that the little girl was not worried. He quickly wiped the tears on the little girl's face and comforted her, "Luo Yu, don't worry. Big brother can guarantee that Battelle is fine. The German army is making progress."

It's going well, it's overwhelming, and it's not a war of attrition. In this way, in a moment, I will open the radio contact with Germany and specifically ask about this matter. If it doesn't work, I will transfer Battelle back to the country, so as to save you from worrying. How about it?"

Bai Luoyu suddenly blushed with embarrassment, burst into laughter, and asked: "Brother Qiu Li, are you telling the truth? I'm not worried about him." He turned around and ran away in a panic, without even giving a military salute.

, looking at the little girl's slender back, it was clear that there was a kind of expectation and relief of letting go of her worries. Tang Qiuli suddenly felt a little sad and blamed himself for not taking good care of Bai Luoyu for his younger brother. He was not very qualified as a brother.

He picked up the phone and said, "Xue'er, please go see Luo Yu later. This little girl is worried about Battle. She was crying here just now."

Take it back, it is already past eight o'clock in the morning on September 1st. The German attack on Poland should be progressing very smoothly. It is time for the German head of state to report the good news to himself.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Feng, the director of the Communications Department, came in and said, "Commander, a telegram from the German Head of State." Tang Qiuli smiled. The German Head of State was such an interesting person. "My old friend, I have a piece of good news for you. Our great German state

The army launched an attack on Poland at around four o'clock this morning

A comprehensive offensive has been launched and is progressing smoothly. Guderian's First Armored Group has penetrated 40 kilometers into Poland. Congratulations to me. In the next few weeks, I will let those countries on the European continent join us in Germany.

Trembling in front of the army!"

Tang Qiuli saw from the telegram from the German head of state that he was proud and arrogant, as well as having strong self-confidence. To be fair, he still admired the somewhat neurotic head of state for challenging the entire Europe with the power of one country. This

It takes not only courage, but also madness and great ambition.

At the same time, he was vaguely worried about Battelle. Guderian's armored group took the lead, and Battelle served in Guderian's army. Damn it, what did Hitler do? He used his younger brother as a vanguard. Such a dangerous thing, it was a loss.

Can he be like Hitler? When we were in Germany, we had already agreed that we would just learn armored synthesis tactics in the German armored forces. If that didn't work, we had to talk to him about this.

Tang Qiuli said to Chen Feng: "Reply the call and congratulate Your Excellency the Head of State on the victory in the first battle. I am unswervingly convinced that under the command of Your Excellency the Head of State, the German Army will sweep across the European continent and achieve greater victory. By the way, how is my brother Barter? Is he not injured?"

This time, Hitler quickly responded to the telegram, "My old friend, I know that you are blaming me for letting your brother go to the front. Regarding this matter, I need to explain that before attacking Poland, I had ordered Guderian, transferred your younger brother back to Berlin from the front line, but your younger brother insisted on participating in the battle."

"In addition, your younger brother has performed very well in our army. He has received an Iron Cross medal personally awarded by me and serves as the lieutenant colonel commander of the 3rd Tank Division. According to Guderian's report, in this battle , your brother’s tank regiment rushed to the front of the armored group responsible for the main attack, and defeated a division of the Polish army, which was a remarkable feat. I immediately ordered Guderian to transfer your brother back to Berlin to avoid worrying my old friend.”

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli felt somewhat relieved. Then his heart started to think again. This guy Battelle was born to take risks and didn't know what the danger was. When he heard about the war, his eyes gleamed. With such a It would be weird if he didn't rush to the front when the actual combat opportunity comes. If that doesn't work, let him return home immediately.

So, he sent a telegram back to the German head of state, asking him to arrange for Battelle to return to China as soon as possible. The reason was very simple. He was about to launch 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 excuses for delaying. In fact, The Head of State insisted that Battelle return to China as soon as possible. Bullets do not have eyes. If the younger brother of China's second most powerful man were to have an accident on the battlefield, Hitler would not be able to explain to Tang Qiuli.

The next day, new news came from the European battlefield. The German army was approaching Warsaw, the capital of Poland. The Polish government evacuated the capital in panic. More than 200,000 Polish troops were surrounded by the German Southwest Army and the Southern Army near Danzig. By the evening of the next day, the Polish army laid down its arms and surrendered.

In this battle, the Polish army suffered more than 85,000 casualties, and the rest were captured. The door to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was opened. Others may not know, but Tang Qiuli knew the outcome of this war well, and there were more than 20 more people. Oh my god, the country Poland would no longer exist. He also knew that Comrade Stalin, the red czar of the Soviet Union and a pathological fanatic about territory, would soon take action to get a share of Polish territory together with the Germans.

He was not very interested in the distant European battlefields. What he paid attention to was how the Japanese would react. On the Loushanguan front line, he continued to fight with the Central Army commanded by Xue Yue. The entangled Juichi Terauchi showed no sign of returning to Nanning. Tang Qiuli admired this old devil quite a bit.

At this level, they are still unaware of the approaching danger. Are they confident or are they unaware? The battlefield of Loushanguan has not changed, but Longyun in Yunnan has stepped up its posture to fight the Japanese army to the death and share the same fate with Kunming. Survival or death.
