Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 1: On the way home

　　

　　 "Back to base camp?"

　　 "Yes, you have to prepare quickly!"

　　 "Understood, General!" Hans replied.

　　 Xu Jun said to Mueller again: “Major Mueller, if Colonel Luxembourg’s troops are not here after lunch, I’m not going to wait for him. I’m sorry I can’t host the Zhujie meeting. I must Go back to the base camp immediately to discuss the future battle plan with the head of state.

　　 Now I appoint you as the acting brigade commander of the 7th Infantry Brigade of the 7th Armored Division, and you are promoted to lieutenant colonel. After Colonel Luxemburg came back, you conveyed my order to Colonel Luxemburg and I appointed him the acting deputy commander of the 7th Armored Division. You have to help him lead the Seventh Armored Division. You stay here to fix the troops.

　　Because of our great loss this time, I will ask the Army Command to immediately supplement the 7th Armored Division. The lost junior officers will be selected from the surviving non-commissioned officers, and the vacancies of the senior officers will be taken over by the surviving junior officers. They have proven their ability in battle, and I will give them a letter of appointment. Other problems are resolved by you and Colonel Luxembourg. Do you understand? "

　　"Understood, I am very grateful to General for your trust and promotion to me. Please rest assured that I will manage the 7th Armored Division together with Colonel Luxembourg. I will never let down your expectations of me. I long for So you can come back quickly and lead us to continue fighting until the day of victory comes." Mueller replied excitedly.

　　 rose to two levels in two days, which has never happened before in the Wehrmacht. Mueller felt like he was dreaming. Now that Xu Jun has been promoted to the level of God in his mind, Mueller secretly vowed to repay Xu Jun for his appreciation and cultivation no matter what, even if he wants him to lose his life for Xu Jun.

　　 After lunch, Rondstedt’s plane arrived on time. This is a brand new JU52. In order for her to land, the 58th Engineer Battalion spent two hours using 20 heavy tractors and 80 trucks of various types to create a simple runway.

　　 Now Xu Jun and his subordinates are standing by the plane and bid farewell to the officers of the 7th Armored Division. Because this time he was going back to the base camp of the National Defense Forces, Xu Jun only took Hans, Randolph, and Dogen, three people. The two trainee staff officers stayed in the 7th Armored Division to continue their traineeship, while the two orderly soldiers were added to the chores of Mueller's new headquarters.

　　The soldiers of the 7th Armored Division learned the news that their commander was leaving and all spontaneously came to the runway to say goodbye to their beloved general. They lined up neatly and watched the commander's plane slowly leave the ground. All the soldiers immediately saluted the plane with guns, until the plane slowly disappeared from their field of vision.

　　 Xu Jun sat in the spacious cabin of the JU52, looking down at the combat telegrams and various records that Hans had compiled for him. He would organize them into a formal report and submit it to Hitler before returning to base camp.

　　 While looking at the file, he and Hans discussed the details in a low voice. Randolph was sitting in the row behind them, and he was looking excitedly at the **** planes flying back and forth outside the porthole. In order to prevent the last emergency landing from happening again, the base camp dispatched a destroyer group of 40 ME110 fighters to protect them throughout the process. They lined up in a wheel formation to surround the JU52 tightly.

　　 But Dogen is not interested in seeing these, he is now asleep in his seat with his head tilted.

　　 After Xu Jun explained the details of the combat report to Hans, he simply threw the work of writing the report directly to Hans. While looking at the clouds outside the window, he thought about the problem, leaving only poor Hans with a pencil in his mouth, looking at the pile of documents and stunned.

　　 Xu Jun pondered hard, how can he make Hitler change the wrong decision, and how can he convince the generals that his advice is correct?

　　 In Jack’s memory, he searched for the memories of how Jack had dealt with the Nazi leaders and senior generals, hoping to find out the weaknesses and preferences of those people, so that he could use these to achieve his own goals . As the memories of Jack and the Nazi Party officials' contacts unfolded before him, Xu Jun couldn't help laughing.

　　 This guy is really a rascal, I didn't expect him to behave like this in the regular meeting of the base camp.

　　 That’s fine, if I can’t persuade the generals and commanders to support me, then I’ll learn this rascal method to “communication” with the high-level “elites”. If my plan fails, then you I’m going to confuse it too.

　　 Xu Jun took the doctrine and felt relaxed for a while, but he immediately remembered what to do next if he really succeeded in preventing Hitler's wrong decision. How can we destroy the British retreat, how can they be perfectly eliminated in Dunkirk, what preparations are needed, where should they attack, how should they be fought, what is the current battlefield situation, and how many troops can be used In the past, these questions were placed in front of Xu Jun one by one, causing him a headache. What I need most now is accurate information. Only when I get the current accurate information can I make a plan for the next step.

　　 "Hans!"

　　 "Yes, General!" Hans raised his head from his pile of papers and answered.

　　"After landing, you immediately send me the latest report on the exact location and number of troops of all the army units. I also want the air force reconnaissance unit’s reconnaissance report on the enemy’s movements today~IndoMTL.com~you again Get me a detailed map of western France."

　　 "Yes, General, I can actually get the pilot to contact the ground now, so that the ground will be ready before we land."

　　 "That's good, you do it quickly, so that they must prepare the most detailed information."

　　 "I see. General." Hans put down the file and stood up and walked towards the cockpit.

　　 Xu Jun relieved his heart and looked at the scenery outside the window leisurely, waiting for Hans' results. After a while, Hans returned to the cockpit. He patted Xu Jun on the shoulder.

　　"General."

　　 Xu Jun turned around and asked: "How about? Did you get in touch?"

　　"General, it’s all arranged. We will land in Cologne today and rest there for the night. Tomorrow morning we will take a special train sent by the Führer straight to the cliff castle, and we will be there at noon tomorrow. You The urgently needed information base camp will send a special plane to Cologne, and then directly to your hotel, please rest assured. The commander of the Cologne garrison and city government officials are already waiting for your plane to arrive at the airport, and they have prepared a grand welcome ceremony. "

　　 "Really, how long will we have to land."

　　 "It should be fast, we have already flown over the French border, and it will take up to two hours to reach Cologne."

　　 Xu Jun nodded, finally letting go. He leaned back on the soft leather chair back and began to close his eyes to calm himself. Hans sat back in his seat holding a pencil and continued to write his report.
