Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 180: Two kinds of confrontation
Single artillery against a group of vehicles, this kind of thing has not happened before. In the French battle, the German armored forces encountered many French soldiers who did this. The Germans themselves have some similar battles. (Baidu search network update is the fastest and most stable) ¥f,. The final result is basically a tragedy. In addition to the admiration of bystanders for his courage, the gunner usually loses his life on the spot.
For a professional armored commander, this behavior can only be described in one word, stupid. Everyone dreams of becoming a hero in the legend, but actually putting it into action is another matter.
Mr. Brett has no problem with his brain, he is just a little divorced from reality. He doesn't know what it means to compare the battlefield environment with the enemy. He only knows that the British emperor should have the appearance of being daring to fight. At this time, my hometown has been out of life and death, wholeheartedly wanting to fight and die for the British Empire like the heroes in those dramas.
The well-trained German Army reacted quickly. The grenadiers who were shifting to the left flank to serve as a vigilance mission started the counterattack first. These soldiers had much better vision than tankers, and more than one pair of eyes saw the artillery fire. At that time, the smoke sprayed out, and the infantry firepower of various calibers immediately poured over the bushes.
In order to suppress the opponent and prevent the gun from continuing to fire, the mg34 machine gun mounted on the half-track vehicle began to fire unscrupulously, and the red tracer shells were connected to a fire whip on the four half-track vehicles. His machine gun team skillfully cooperated, and within a few seconds of repeated crossing of several bullet chains, the camouflage plant was cut into two pieces.
The blades of grass and branches flew in the dense barrage, and soon the artillery and resisters hidden behind the bushes were exposed to all the Germans.
"Two-pound gun! Four hundred and twenty meters, fire!" The tanks of the outer light company had already turned the front of the car. After verifying the true face of the opponent, their pressure did not decrease. The company platoon commanders thought of it. The enemy must be destroyed as soon as possible, and the opponent must not be allowed to fire again, because the two-pounder gun is powerful enough to penetrate all types of tanks in the light armor company.
Tank machine guns and 20 artillery joined the ranks of firing. The thin shield of the two-pounder gun was instantly shattered. A whole company of German tanks repeatedly fired this poor anti-tank gun for two minutes. For a long time, the firing stopped until it was confirmed that the target had been completely destroyed.
Two 251 half-track vehicles drove carefully to the artillery position. Several grenadiers got out of the car with their rifles and checked them carefully. After picking up some things, they climbed back into the car again. One of the 251 quickly traversed the marching queue and drove to the command vehicle of Major Heisler.
"Sir, there are three people. Two and a half-old children and an old man were all beaten into hornet's nests. The old one seems to be an officer. This is what we found from him."
A grenadier sergeant swiftly overturned the car and jumped out of the car. He climbed into Heisler's command car in two or three steps. The grenadier sergeant stood on the hood and saluted the armored battalion commander, and then handed a command knife to the opponent.
"It seems to be a British standard product before World War I. Keep it for yourself, sergeant." Heisler likes handmade custom swords, and is not very interested in such crude mechanical products.
"Re-organize the formation. We have wasted fifteen minutes here. We are all in action. Don’t forget, we still have important tasks to complete. After a while, return to the left side of the team, Lieutenant Speilonggen, you Where are you going to take your platoon? What? God. Loud, I can’t hear you clearly.” Major Hester discovered that the resisters were only old people and children. The tank battalion commander felt he was insulted. All British men died. Alright, let the old and weak to resist the German soldiers.
As Heisler regrouped and continued to charge towards London full of anger, another contest was quietly opening on the French soil.
"The leader will not agree, Mr. Deputy Minister, this is a betrayal of an ally, a blackmail. I no longer know how to describe this. To be honest, I am very sorry for the decision of my ally." The Italian envoy Ziano kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. This is not a cover-up, but a real emergency.
"Drink a glass of water first. Mr. Earl, do you feel that the air in the room is a little hot, do you need me to open the window." Ribbentrop leaned out and pushed a water glass in front of Ziano.
"This is just the beginning. It is a small punishment for Germany to renounce Italy’s unauthorized actions. It is also a response from the head of the empire to the previous notice issued by the Prime Minister of Italy. You should know the consequences of doing so, but you Don’t persuade and prevent that person from doing so, so you must pay for it now. Italy must pay for it too."
Ribentrop never felt like he was so proud as he is today. Before, under Hitler’s pressure, he had endured all kinds of strange behaviors of these proud Italians, and endured their wanton and random beatings in diplomatic settings The face of the German Foreign Minister. In his opinion, it should have been a lesson for these ignorant Italians, letting them know that their inexplicable sense of superiority is actually worthless.
If it hadn’t been for this time that the Führer had clearly ordered him to grasp the measure, and he hadn’t had the time to completely tear his face with each other, otherwise he would now want to settle the ledger with that big chin and let him know that the champagne seller is also a business person. Not his street hawker in Italy.
"I once persuaded him, but it was of no use. He could not listen to any objections. Could you convey my request to your empire, and if allowed, please allow him to spare some precious time with me Once in a meeting, I will explain the accident to him face to face. Just give me half an hour, ah... even 20 minutes... 15 minutes. Dear Ribbentrop, I always think of you as Italy’s best friend, now please extend a helping hand again and give Italy a chance."
Ciano has lost the confidence to continue being tough. He was not a strong-willed person. He was just an ordinary Italian nobleman. Among the many ordinary Italian nobles who hugged Mussolini's thigh for profit and power The only difference is that he played more high-end and married Mussolini's daughter.
"You have seen the previous letter from the Prime Minister of Italy, and you know the content clearly. You know the political implications of this letter and how great it will bring to the relationship between Italy and Germany Change?
Maybe we should seriously talk about the series of small actions you did before, that kind of conspiracy and tricks that you can't get on the stage, do you really think it will not be seen through?
Speaking of the tricks you did with Spain this time, you should know the attitude of Germany on this matter. You have repeatedly trampled on the bottom line of the German Empire, provoked the patience of the German head of state, and regarded generosity and tolerance as weakness.
How do you ask me to help you now? The Führer is furious this time. I scolded me and several directors of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Now the angry voice of the head of state is still circling in my mind... I came to Hebei Province or something..."
"What?"
"That's the details, you don't care about him. The problem now is that Italy must make concessions on this matter. Only when the head of state is satisfied will the crisis between Italy and Germany get a turn. So you still Recognizing the reality in front of you, persuading your leader to face reality, make these things a close as soon as possible, and let the head of state see your sincerity, maybe it can make him slightly change his current bad impression of Italy."
Ribentrop took out his superb eloquence, like a bartender selling products to drunk customers, sir, buy it, you can get points in our store if you buy it, let’s talk about you Do not suffer. You see, this is the Canadian...Lafite in 1982.
"However, we have already had an agreement before. After France is defeated, we can get Corsica and..." Ziano had also been treacherous, not so easy to be deceived, and he was still trying to struggle for the last time.
"Where is the agreement? With whom? Why don't I know about this."
"With the head of Germany..."
"Wait a minute, I will call your head of state right away. If this happens, Germany is the most credible country, and it will never overthrow the agreement signed by itself like some shameless small countries." Ribbent Luo Pu quickly stood up. Walked to the desk aside and picked up the telephone receiver. "I'm Ribbentrop, please pick me up, Your Excellency."
"It's Hitler... the former head of state..."
"What? Who? Hitler?" Ribbentrop covered the telephone receiver with his hand and looked at Ziano with wide eyes. He saw what a strange species looked like.
"He... verbally promised." Ciano was completely exhausted, and he had already seen from Ribbentrop's slightly exaggerated performance that the situation was gone.
"Who was there to testify at the time?"
"It's a secret conversation... At that time, besides me, there was Minister Goring... So."
"Oh, Ciano, Ciano, my dear Ciano. You can tell me what you can do." Ribbentrop put down the phone, and he shook his head and walked to the sofa to sit down. .
"Can you Italians use verbal agreements as proof of transactions? Or, your society has developed to such an unparalleled level. God, my Lord Earl. You are so naive."
Ziano's face flushed red, he obviously felt the insult in the other's tone, but his reason desperately made him restrain, anyway, he can't happen now, the **** Ribbentrop obviously wanted To irritate him, Gianno warned himself that he must not let the Germans have a chance to tear their faces, and Italy cannot afford the consequences.
In fact, there is such an agreement in history. Hitler did agree to all the non-discriminatory demands of Mussolini. In fact, the Germans also strictly abide by the agreement. Even if the Italians were embarrassed in the war, they still threatened. Maintaining France made compensation to Italy and ceded the territory and islands he wanted to Mussolini.
But now history has changed. Hitler died violently before the German occupation of Paris. He failed to have that historical meeting with Mussolini, and of course he did not sign the famous agreement. Now the Italians only have some verbal promises made by Hitler before the war. Because the content is too confidential, the only witnesses at the scene are Ziano and Goering.
Now all the parties in Germany are dead, and there is no written document to prove the content of the meeting. The German side has made it clear that the chariot will not admit it. If you have the ability, you can summon the ghosts of Hitler and Fatty Ge and ask them if they agree.
Ciano actually knew that it was impossible for the Germans to keep the agreement anymore, he just wanted to change the topic~IndoMTL.com~ to confuse the contradiction. The problem in Italy is not this. If you can't get the forgiveness and support of Germany, then it is not a problem of whether you can eat fat. Italy's own meat will have to be bitten off by others.
"Germany has negotiated an end-of-war agreement with France and will actually sign it in a few days. France admits that it has lost the war and surrenders to the Third Reich. Germany promises to provide security and protection to France. Germany will use all means Working with forces to ensure France’s territorial security, and at the same time protect France’s national interests from infringement. In view of the friendly relations between Germany and the Kingdom of Italy, Germany agreed not to directly intervene in the war between Italy and France, but Germany will never tolerate France. 'S territory has been invaded.
The Sardinia issue is the area occupied by France before the end of the war between France and Germany. It is already under French rule. Therefore, according to the agreement signed between Germany and France, Sardinia will also be affected by the German team. protection of. Ciano, this is the response your Caesar wants. "Ribentrop raised the water glass in front of him and greeted Ciano.
