Battle of the Third Reich

In this side, Binttrop was still whipping back and forth with Ziano, while the handsome German head of state was sitting on his special plane to the base of Calais. ◎,

After the weather improved, the headquarters resumed full-load operation. At this time, he had to be personally seated by the big boss. Otherwise, it was difficult for Brauchic alone to suppress the group of cattle, ghosts, and snakes.

It's not that Brauchic is unpopular and lacks ability. In fact, the army marshal has gained a lot of popularity in recent stages, and can be compared to Sector's. Mainly the department controlled by the German Headquarters spans multiple services and commands a large number of military generals who are geniuses of war. This group of people comes from all levels in Germany, and all who can climb to this position can be said to be elites. All of them have their own styles of conduct and rules of conduct. According to the words across the Atlantic, it is full of personality.

After all, the German soldiers have the best obedience in the entire European army. As long as the order is issued, they will find a way to complete it anyway. The problem is that when there are some ambiguous situations, there are always some guys who will find ways to find loopholes, such as Guderian and Manstein, who are now fighting each other outside London.

"My head, welcome back to Calais." Just after Xu Jun got off the plane, Brauchic greeted him quickly. His respectful boots bumped his scepter and saluted Xu Jun.

"How are you doing these two days, my commander-in-chief, you look good." Xu Jun raised Marshal Yang's staff in return, and then walked to his car in the company of Brausic.

"It's still the same, everything is proceeding according to your plan, my head of state. It's just that there is some dispute between General Goodrian and Cyprus about the direction of the attack. I think it should be left to the head of state to make the decision."

"Does the command plan need to be modified?" Sitting in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz g4, Xu Jun asked Brousic, who was sitting next to him.

"This is not necessary, mainly because General Guderian's assault cluster is in a more favorable position. He asked to change the sequence of the attack and let his assault group serve as a left hook fist. General Manstein said that he should follow the plan. The sequenced action, Guderian’s action is a bit risky. Launching a left hook before Cyprus does not reach the predetermined position will expose the weak flanks of the assault cluster."

Brauchic was so irritated by the two front-line gangsters, but because the headquarters was far away from the front line, the rapidly changing battlefield situation was not as clear as the first-line commander had. Both Keitel and Yoder said that this issue should not be biased and must be carefully considered. Because the incident suddenly lacked sufficient intelligence, the War Office and the Staff Office could not come up with a decent idea. Because the reasons for both are very good, and they both have their own reasons. At present, the staff in the command headquarters are also divided into several factions, and the argument is indisputable.

"Okay. When I get to the headquarters, I will see what went wrong. By the way, I brought a few bottles of good wine from Kiel Port. Wait a minute and let Disenhofen bring you."

Xu Jun took off his military cap and stroked his hair. His ability to be too capable really put a lot of pressure on the commander, especially the group of generals in the German army, all of whom have rich combat experience and are capable of fighting the front. The battle situation makes personal judgment.

This fact cannot blame Brauchic, and indeed only Xu Jun can have the confidence to solve similar problems. Leading the Germans to victory several times in a row, the fame of the imperial head of the army has long been popular. No one will doubt his judgment and decision on military issues.

After three days, there was no change in the headquarters. Xu Jun looked at the officers and soldiers running in and out of the slat room. Here and the quiet Kiel Port are like living in two worlds. The six-wheeled Mercedes-Benz off-road car drove to the door of the central building of the headquarters, and the army guard at the door quickly raised his rifle to salute. Disenhofen quickly jumped out of the car and opened the door for Xu Jun.

"Let Kettle, Yoder and the Chief of Staff of the War Department gather in the meeting room twenty minutes later, with all relevant intelligence information." Xu Jun nodded to Brauchich, and then strode into the door of the wooden house .

"My head, this is the intelligence we heard this morning, and this one is the confession obtained from the prisoner's mouth." Elegantly decorated head office. Kirsten leaned down and put a document on the desk.

"It's ten o'clock in the morning, the time on the intelligence is six thirty, and three and a half hours have passed. What's new during the period." Xu Jun opened the folder. First look at the time marked in the record. "If the situation in this listening record is true, then it can show a lot of problems, who has read this document."

"This is the 700th interception brigade's intelligence sent back directly from the front line. They should have also provided it to the e-cluster command and several group army commanders."

"It may be based on this that Guderian ordered the troops to launch an assault immediately." Xu Jun put the listening data aside. He stood up and walked to the large-scale British map on the wall, picked up the magnifying glass and looked for information carefully. The landmarks mentioned above.

"The gap in the line of defense mentioned in the intelligence is here. From New Malden to Mitchum, it is almost five kilometers away. There are no fortifications and preset positions at all. The British clearly have discovered this flaw, They are mobilizing the army and local militia to remedy, believing that this gap will disappear within 24 hours.

I personally prefer General Guderian’s judgment. If we can seize this opportunity and break through from this direction, we can directly insert it into the back of the outer defense line on the west side of London. If subsequent troops can keep up, we can put this area of ​​London Cut from the defensive circle, so that we can reduce the size of the enclosure at least by 30%, and more troops can be vacated to join the urban attack queue. Kirsten pointed out to Xu Jun the area in the intelligence, and boldly put forward her personal views and suggestions.

"Manstein's judgment also makes sense. The Cypriot legion is more combative than Guderian's existing assault clusters. Guderian's second armored division has not been completely replaced. They still retain a large number of light vehicles. Perhaps the penetration speed will be a bit faster than Cyprus, but there are obvious shortcomings in attack and defense.

If, according to his plan, inserting enemy lines of defense from here and cutting this large urban area, we can indeed advance our plan a big step. But I am worried about whether he can withstand the crazy counterattack of the British army, and whether the second armored division is capable of defending this line of defense with the existing equipment. You should know that on the west side, London also retains at least one armored brigade tank and two strong infantry brigades. Guderian will surely be hit by both sides of the opponent.

I am worried that this may be a trap carefully set by the British. They deliberately exposed such an obvious loophole and attracted our main assault force. They did not need to win, as long as they entangled these troops. Waiting for the reinforcements in the north and overseas to arrive, dragging us into a protracted war. "Xu Jun put the magnifying glass on the side table. He held his arms and looked at the map in front of him. After discussing the war with those military geniuses for so long, he had initially had his own strategic vision."

"You can look at this confession again, there may be the answer you want." Kirsten stood aside and respectfully suggested. Xu Jun glanced back at his intelligence officer. Then he nodded, walked back to his desk, and picked up the document.

"This? Is it a corruption case?"

"It's a corruption case, my head of state. This area originally belonged to the British Army's 6th Infantry Division stationed. They were training here and were responsible for building a defensive position in this area. Several senior officers of the 6th Infantry Division a while ago There was a problem with the partnership speculative trading. Their goods were sent to the seabed by the German navy submarine. The failure of the business caused them to owe a large amount of private loans. You know what that means.

In order to repay their debts, they took risks and secretly sold a large number of building materials and tools used to construct fortifications to the black market. Of course, the construction funds allocated also fell into their pockets. At that time, they did not believe that the Germans could successfully land in the British mainland, so they had the courage to engage in this kind of tricks. They originally planned well, and they planned to fill this basket after the capital was turned over. As a result, the sixth division was transferred to the front line of Folkestone before they could relax.

The problem is that these guys are in high positions, they are very experienced, and their reports to their bosses are not leaking. The British Army has always thought that a complete defensive system has been built there, and it can be used immediately as long as the troops are transferred. Due to the lack of troops in London. So no troops have been in the defense for a week, so no one has discovered this scam. As a result, until this morning, an infantry platoon preparing to hit the front station of the stationed troops rushed to the location marked on the map, but found that there was only a whole piece of ordinary streets and houses. The road is a flat wasteland, and there is no trace of any fortifications. At first, they thought they were running the wrong way, and they only realized the seriousness of the problem after repeated verification.

From the point of view of communications, they still do not understand where the problem lies. According to my personal judgment, the Sixth Infantry Division has now been annihilated by the whole army, and the rank of the personnel left behind is too low. I don't think the English can guess such a twisty story behind their death. Kirsten told Xu Jun an incredible story in a sigh of relief, stunned the German head of state.

"You will also attend the regular meeting later. I think the marshals and generals of the headquarters will also be interested in this story. If we can be sure that the British have no trap here, I support Guderian's decision, we must To catch this loophole, at the same time we have to give him full support. We can formulate a plan specifically for this. The weather turned fine and the Air Force should be able to participate in this attack." Xu Jun stood up and he picked up the The file was caught under his arm.

"By the way, congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel. Your name is on this list of promotions. I think you have heard of it. General Wehrler appreciates the efforts you made during this time, and I very much recognize him Opinion. You will become the highest-ranking female officer in the National Defense Forces, and I think your family will be proud of you." Xu Jun walked to the door and took the military cap passed by Kirsten and put it on his head. He congratulated his intelligence officer early.

"Thank you very much, my head of state. I am convinced of this." The beautiful female intelligence officer neatly opened the door for Xu Jun.
