Chapter 282

Akado got up, went to marshal blauchich, put his hand on marshal blauchich's shoulder and gave him a smile. He looked back at his generals, then said slowly, "you've all done a good job. I'm very satisfied with your preparations."

After all, it's very difficult for a strong head of state who is well versed in war to be absolutely safe. The present commendation of the head of state is an affirmation of their conscientiousness.

But on the other hand, akado knows his own weight. He was not dazzled by victory and dictatorship, on the contrary, he kept the caution and vigilance of a small person in some small details. He constantly reminded himself to avoid another time and space in which Hitler dictated military affairs. He made himself respect the decision-making of the generals as much as possible, and only put forward his own opinions when he was very dissatisfied.

As for the details of the army, akkado, the head of state, is obviously not as good as those German generals. When to replenish, when to rest, what kind of troops can fight, what kind of troops should be reorganized, what kind of shells the 11th infantry army needs, how many barrels of gasoline the 2nd Armored Division needs, where to advance, and how many soldiers to lose... He didn't need to know these things, so akado heaped these questions on marshal blauchich.

His efforts have obviously paid off. The tense relationship between the Supreme Command and the generals in World War II has not yet appeared, and the famous assassination to change the attitude of both sides has disappeared. At present, the national defense forces are obedient to the head of state, and the whole German and military affairs machine is running very fast with astonishing efficiency.

"The next step is to fight for real strength." Akado pointed to the map near sedang and said helplessly: "there is no way to take advantage of it. It's time to test the combat capability of our troops. They are faster than the French, fiercer than them, stronger than them

"Long live the Fuehrer! We will prove it to you! German army, invincible Blauchich said, raising his chin to attention.

"Our army has a high morale. Although many of the newly formed troops are still equipped with old-fashioned equipment, such as the sealed Mauser 98K rifle, only half of them are equipped with semi-automatic G43 and new mp-44 assault rifles, we are still well equipped in the world." General Burke, chief of staff, said firmly.

He has every reason to say that, because up to now, the German army has the largest number of vehicles, armored vehicles and tanks in Europe and even in the world, and nearly half of the troops use G42 machine guns, G43 rifles, mp-44 assault rifles and other automatic weapons. If we include mortar, howitzer, rocket launcher and other equipment, plus the understanding of the use of sniper team, this force can be said to be the closest armed force to the standard of future mechanized forces.

In addition, the German infantry were divided into elite special forces, such as mountain troops, machine landing infantry, and so on. Most of the soldiers in these troops have special skills and can fight independently or even independently.

Of course, compared with the rest of the world, the most advanced part of the German armed forces comes from project Pluto, which made the German defense forces retain nearly 500000 qualified sergeants. Even if the army is expanded ten times, these personnel still become the backbone of the whole German army with their elite and leaders.

The French army, on the other hand, had long lost the fighting spirit of World War I. The combat readiness of these troops is so inadequate that even their British counterparts can't stand it. In a report written to China by a British military official, he described the French soldiers as follows: "the soldiers did not shave, the quality of the horses was extremely poor, and they were not ready for war at all. The disheveled clothes of the soldiers and the scarcity and filthy of their vehicles show that they lack confidence in themselves, the whole army and even the whole war situation. "

The high-level planning of France is also completely out of order. They have only prepared 150000 defensive troops in the setang area where the Germans mainly attack, but they have to face 1200 tanks of four armored divisions under Rommel and goodrian.

They were dispersed over a 95 mile radius, crisscrossed with the German troops who had invaded setang. In their southeast direction, on the Maginot line, 40 French divisions were nailed to the ground by the bluff German C group, and they could not move at all.

Moreover, compared with the main combat weapons and equipment of the two countries, the French fighter is far inferior to the German fw-190d fighter; The French B1 tank and soma S35 tank are not the opponents of German Leopard tank at all. In most cases, they can't even suppress the backward German No.3 tank.

"The battle was carried out by Rommel's 7th armored force, breaking through the French lines here and here. In Hawkes village, general Rommel's forces will cross the river, defeat the French * team, advance to the rear of the British and French allied forces, and cut off the enemy's supply lines. " Brauchich said, pointing to the map.

After he finished, he took a look at akado and found that his head of state was holding his chin and staring at the map without saying anything. He continued to introduce the whole battle plan wisely: "then general goodrian's first armored army will reinforce this line of defense to prevent the French and British forces from fighting back."

"What about the specific crossing plan? I can't expect 1000 tanks to swim across the river. " Akado asked suddenly“ We've assembled four engineering battalions to build pontoons here and here at the same time. The air force will cover these forces, we will overtake the French in the number of aircraft and artillery, and the French defense forces on the other side will be forced to withdraw. " A colonel in charge of front-line communication stood up and answered at attention“ Tell Catherine I need his air force to make sure these bridges are absolutely safe. " Akado thought for a moment and said, "in addition, I need to order general lundstedtet to set up air defense nets near these bridges. I need to ensure the absolute security of the logistics support of my armored forces."“ My Fuehrer! There is no problem for the air force. " An air force liaison officer stood up to answer akado's order: "if necessary, we will mobilize 100 fighters to ensure local absolute air supremacy." One month ago, the new production line of fw-190d liquid cooled fighter in Germany was completed. The production speed of German fw-190 fighters has been improved in an all-round way. By the end of January 5, a total of 150 new fighter planes had been sent from the rear to the air force, which made Catherine's troops a lot more. The German air force, which has been strengthened, is on the verge of double happiness. It has found the weakness of the British fearless fighter in several air battles. The German air force broke the short-lived "fear of fearless fighter" that lasted only a few days. On January 6, it shot down 47 various planes of the British and French air forces, dominating the Northern French sky. Akado nodded, then looked at the battle map. Suddenly, he said to Anna standing aside, "write it down and send a telegram to Rommel in my name to tell him that I am waiting for the news of his victory."“ Yes, sir Anna kept her due attitude in front of the officers and didn't make any trouble for akado. That's why akado appreciates this beautiful girl. She can tell when she is enchanting and when she is cautious. After this explanation, akado inquired about the logistics supply of the whole army. With the help of project dove, a sub project of project Hades, the traffic situation in Germany is the best in the world. Highways connect every important city, and countless highways crisscross like capillaries. Of course, the railway system with huge transportation capacity is operated on time and powerful by the German Railway Group of akkado. So far, the whole Western army has sufficient supplies, and countless shells and food are sent to each army through efficient distribution. Although the quality of food is still poor and some materials are still in short supply, it is thousands of times better than the chaotic French logistics. After the head of state asked about the logistics supply, he left the meeting room with his secretary Anna, leaving a group of military leaders whispering to each other about the next specific action. Bock even hoped that brauchich could change the battle plan, let the German armored forces slow down slightly, and wait for the infantry behind to catch up and act together. Because brauchich was inspired by the victory of the previous war, he preferred to let goodrian and Rommel move forward at full speed to achieve the perfect effect of Blitzkrieg. And just a few hours after the German 3rd Armored Division bridged the river in setang, the French commanders who knew later finally began to pay attention to the German attack near Arden forest. To be exact, originally, the German army marched in all directions, so that Britain and France had to defend in an all-round way. Therefore, kammerlin could not judge the main attack direction of the German army. But not long ago, the British and French allied forces in Belgium prevented the rapid German assault and stabilized the war situation. When the fighting in all areas became a static line of defense, it was inevitable that someone would notice the only German army still in motion. So kammerlin also decided to send some forces to deal with the German army which was still advancing. It can be said that the situation in the west front of the German army is very good now. What everyone is waiting for is just a victory news from the front line. But this battle has to be fought, and this seamless plan has to be implemented - to turn the content of the battle that is still on paper into reality. So, almost at the same time, the commander-in-chief of the British and French allied forces, gammerlin, and the commander-in-chief of the German army, brauchich, set up a station and sent out their own proud men. The German army chose Godfather goodrian and Rommel, who had the reputation of Empire, while the French army found their trump card in the vast sea of people, the most experienced commander of French armored forces, Charles de Gaulle.
