Battle of the Third Reich

The distant water could not save the near fire, and Admiral Hans Reinhardt sent a telegram saying that his troops would not be able to reach the seventh armored division until the next afternoon.

Long Destedt sat worried in the office against the map. Suddenly a staff rushed in with a telegram in his hand.

"General, emergency call for the 7th Armored Division."

Long Destedt quickly grabbed the telegram and was immediately taken aback.

The first surprise was that Rommel was killed, the seventh armored division lost the entire headquarters, and the troops were divided into two parts. The second surprise was that the deputy head of state was safe and took over the command of the seventh armored division, and he repelled. The British offensive not only wiped out many enemies but also seized seven tanks.

When will the "genius" kid who only talks about the war? Long Destedt was puzzled.

He still remembers the results of the military school of Reinhardt von Steide. It was terrible. Guderian secretly told himself after reading his thesis that if he took Reinhardt. Feng. The guy who brought Stade on the battlefield could send away a division he led himself within an hour.

The deputy head of the third empire was finally a bit self-knowledge, even when he was most proud of himself, he did not ask himself to command any combat troops.

Moreover, he has always been a cherisher of the Army, becoming the most important representative of the Army from the Air Force’s mouth to fight for military expenses and supplies. It is said that he was afraid of even seeing Green when he robbed the budget, claiming to be the number one empire cabinet. Evil dog. Already in the cabinet has a nickname called "Cyprus", which means **** three-headed dog.

Therefore, the army would rather lose a group of generals than to lose this young brigadier general. He has always provided him well in the General Staff.

Unexpectedly, this deputy head of state, who had been deemed by all generals to have no military talent, could actually command an infantry unit of more than 1,000 people to withstand the attack of a tank-equipped brigade of the British and also hit the other party. If the headquarters knew the news, it must have been full of spectacles on the floor.

He now asks the base camp to give him an appointment to formally command the seventh armored division. The kid also asked in the telegram that the command of the "German Deutschland" regiment should also be given to him, and he also immediately contacted the Air Force Third Air Force and asked the Air Force to give him air and ground support the next day. Long Destedt looked at the telegram puzzled. What did the boy want to do?

Regardless of him, as long as the deputy head is happy and stays there for the rescue, he will give him whatever he wants. The appointment of the base camp is just a superficial article. Anyway, he is the deputy head of state, whatever he says. Give him the "Grand Deutschland" regiment and communicate with Kleist. The air force can also be mobilized through the base camp. They had to inform them about the kid. Long Destedt quickly picked up the phone and arranged.

Xu Jun explained his plan to his subordinates in detail, arranged everyone's tasks, explained the precautions, and left those officers there to continue to discuss the plan and some technical details. Walked out of the shelter.

The summer night in France is really beautiful. Xu Jun looked at the stars in the sky and remembered his hometown.

"The pollution in Shanghai is too serious. I have never seen such a star there since I was young. But the night here is really a bit cold."

Xu Jun rubbed his shoulders, fastened the buckle on the collar of the military uniform, and then slowly paced towards the trenches where the soldiers rested.

The German soldiers have recovered from the state of bravery they had just won. Everyone was exhausted by the series of battles during the day. Now after eating a steaming dinner, my body relaxes and all the fatigue is released, so most people except a part of the sentry soldiers carried their rifles and wrapped in military blankets to sleep.

Xu Jun walked slowly. A sentry saw Xu Jun who had come by and was just stopped by Xu Jun when he wanted to say hello. Xu Jun shook his hand and pointed to the sleeping soldiers beside him. The sentinel glanced at him, and immediately set Xu Zheng upright, his eyes filled with reverence and nodded.

Xu Jun walked gently to the sentry, patted the sentry's shoulder, and said in the sentry's ear: "You are doing very well, soldier, continue your duties, don't alarm others, everyone is very tired."

"Follow your orders, Lord General."

The sentry tried to control his excitement and lowered his voice to answer. Xu Jun nodded to the sentry, then gently walked towards the pile of fire on the other side of the trench.

It seems that there was originally a French artillery station or a first-line command post. The trench suddenly widened here, forming a square space of more than ten square meters.

The soldiers lit a bonfire there. Those sentries who were laid off or waiting to be put on the fire rested around the fire. The warm fire and the calm expression of the soldiers made people feel like they were not on the battlefield at all. .

There seemed to be more than twenty people there, and some soldiers fell asleep against the trench walls. Others are looking at newspapers and books or writing family letters from unknown places by firelight. More than a dozen young soldiers were surrounded by an old sergeant who appeared to be in his fifties, listening intently to what the old sergeant was saying.
