Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 181: Defensive vulnerability

Bentrop is still wrangling with Ziano on this side, while the handsome German Führer on the other side is rushing to Calais base on his special plane. Lewen Mobile [Phoenix/phoenix/Please search for updates quickly]

After the weather improved, the command resumed full-load operation. At this time, he must be the big boss himself. Otherwise, Brausic alone would not be able to suppress his group of monsters.

It's not that Brausic is unpopular and lacking in ability. In fact, the field marshal's popularity has skyrocketed in the recent period, and it is almost on the same level as the Seckett and others. Mainly the departments controlled by the German High Command span multiple branches of the military, commanding a large number of war genius generals from all walks of life in Germany. All of them can be considered elites. All of them have their own styles and norms. According to the opposite of the Atlantic, it is full of personality.

Finally, the Germans have the best obedience in the entire European army, as long as the order is given, they will find a way to complete it anyway. The problem is that when encountering 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 on the outskirts of London.

"My head of state, welcome you back to Calais." As soon as Xu Jun stepped off the plane, Brausic quickly greeted him, and his respectful boots raised his scepter to salute Xu Jun.

"How are these two days, my commander-in-chief, you look good." Xu Jun raised the marshal rod in return, and then walked towards his car accompanied by Brausic.

"It’s still the same, everything is going according to your plan, my head. It’s just that General Guderian and Cyprus have some disputes over the direction of the offensive. I think you should leave it to you to make the decision. ."

"Does the command plan need to be revised?" Sitting in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz G4, Xu Jun asked Brausic who was sitting next to him.

"This is not necessary, mainly because the position of General Guderian’s assault group is more advantageous. He requested that the attack sequence be changed so that his assault group should be the fist of the left uppercut, General Manstein said It should be done in the order established by the plan. Guderian’s actions are somewhat risky. A left uppercut before Cyprus reaches the predetermined position will expose the weak flanks of the assault group."

Brausic was bothered by the quarrel between the two big bosses on the front line. However, because the command is far away from the front line, it is not as clear as the front-line commander of the ever-changing battlefield situation. Both Keitel and Yordel said that this issue should not be partial and partial, and must be carefully considered, because the incident suddenly lacked sufficient intelligence, and the Operations Department and the Staff Office could not come up with a decent idea. Because the reasons for both are very good and both have their own reasons, the staff officers in the command headquarters are now divided into several factions, and the disputes are overwhelming.

"Okay. After I arrive at the command, I will see what went wrong. By the way, I brought a few bottles of good wine from Kiel Harbour, and I will let Disenhofen bring you later. "

Xu Jun took off his military cap and stroked his hair. The over-competence of his staff did put a lot of pressure on the commanders, especially the group of generals in the German army. All of them have rich combat experience. Ability to make personal judgments about frontline battles.

Brasic cannot be blamed for this fact, and indeed only Xu Jun can have the confidence to solve similar problems. After leading the German army to great victories several times in a row, the reputation of the head of the Empire has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one would doubt his judgments and decisions on military issues.

Three days later, there was no change in the command department. Xu Jun looked at the officers and soldiers running in and out of the slatted house. Here and the peaceful Port of Kiel are like being in two worlds. The six-wheeled Mercedes-Benz cross-country sedan drove to the door of the central building of the Command Headquarters and stopped. The army guard at the door hurriedly raised their rifles and saluted them. Tysenhofen quickly jumped out of the car and opened the door for Xu Jun.

"Let Keitel, Yordel, and the staff of the War Department assemble in the conference room in 20 minutes and bring all relevant intelligence materials." Xu Jun nodded at Brausic, and then strode into the board. The door of the house.

"My Führer, this is the intelligence we heard this morning, and this is a confession from the captive." In the elegantly decorated Führer’s office, Kirsten leaned over and handed a document. Put it on the desk.

"It is ten o'clock in the morning, and the time on the intelligence is half past six. Three and a half hours have passed, and what new discoveries have been made during this 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 else has read this document."

"This is the information sent back directly from the front line by the 700th Interception Group. They should have also provided it to the e-cluster command and several army-level commanders."

"Guderian probably ordered the troops to launch an assault immediately based on this." Xu Jun put the interception data aside, he stood up and walked to the large-scale British map on the wall, and picked up the magnifying glass. Look carefully for the landmarks mentioned in the intelligence.

"The gap in the defense line mentioned in the intelligence is here and here. From New Malden to Mitchum, there are almost no fortifications and preset positions within a range of almost five kilometers. The British have clearly discovered They are mobilizing the army and local militia to remedy this flaw. I believe 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 into the back of the outer line of defense on the west side of London. If the follow-up troops can keep up, we can take London This area is cut from the defensive circle, so that we can at least reduce the size of the encirclement by 30%, and more troops can be free to join the urban attack queue. "Kirsten pointed out the area in the intelligence to Xu Jun, and boldly put forward her personal views and suggestions.

"Manstein’s judgment also has his reason. The Cypriot Legion is more combative than Guderian’s existing assault group. Guderian’s 2nd Armored Division has not completely changed its outfit. They still retain a large number of Light vehicles may be faster than Cyprus in penetration speed, but they have obvious shortcomings in attack and defense.

According to his plan, insert the enemy line of defense from here to cut this large area of ​​town. It can indeed take our plan forward a big step. But I am worried whether he can withstand the frenzied counterattacks of the British army, and whether the Second Armored Division is capable of holding this line of defense with its existing equipment. You know it's on the west side. London also retains at least one armored brigade of tanks and two highly effective infantry brigades. Guderian will definitely be flanked by the opponent.

I worry that this may be a trap carefully set by the British, who deliberately exposed such an obvious loophole. To attract the main force of our assault, they don't need to win, they just need to entangle these troops and wait for the reinforcements from the north and overseas to arrive and drag us into a protracted battle. "Xu Jun put the magnifying glass on the side table, he held his arm and looked at the map in front of him. After so long discussing the war with those military geniuses, he has initially acquired his own strategic vision.

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

"This? Is it a case?"

"It's the case, my head of state. This area was originally stationed by the British Army's 6th Infantry Division. They trained around here and were responsible for building defensive positions in this area. Several of the 6th Infantry Division's There was a problem with the speculative business conducted by the senior military officers. Their cargo was sent to the bottom of the sea by the German Navy's submarine. The business failure caused them to owe a large amount of private loans. You know what that means.

In order to repay the debt, they took the risk and secretly sold a large number of building materials and tools used to construct the fortifications to the black market. Of course, the allocated construction funds also fell into their pockets. At that time, they didn't believe that the German army could successfully land in Britain, so they had the courage to do this trick. They had planned well. Prepare to wait until the capital turnover is over before filling this basket. As a result, before they were relieved, the Sixth Division was transferred to the front line of Folkestone.

The problem is that these guys are very high-ranking, experienced in doing things, and report to their bosses. The British Army has always thought that a complete defense 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, no troops have been in the past for a week, so no one has discovered this scam. The result waited until this morning. An infantry platoon preparing to stand in front of the troops rushed to the location marked on the map, only to find that there was only a whole area of ​​ordinary streets and houses. There is a flat wasteland next to the road, without any trace of fortifications at all. At first they thought they had gone the wrong way. After repeated verifications, the serious problem was discovered.

From the point of view of communications, they still don’t understand what the problem is. According to my personal judgment, the Sixth Infantry Division has now been wiped out, and the level of the personnel left behind is too low. I can't guess that the British will die from such a tortuous story. Kirsten told Xu Jun an unbelievable story in one breath, and the German head was stunned.

"You will also participate in the regular meeting in a while. I think the marshals and generals of the command will also be interested in this story~IndoMTL.com~If you can be sure that the British have no traps here, I support Gu In Derrian’s decision, we must seize this loophole, and at the same time, we must give him full support. We can formulate a plan specifically for this. When the weather turns fine, the Air Force should be able to participate in this attack." Xu Jun stood up. , He picked up the file on the desktop and clamped it under his arm.

"By the way, congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel. This time you have your name on the promotion list, I think you have heard it. General Weierle appreciates your efforts during this time, and I also I very much approve of his opinion. You will become the highest-ranked female officer in the Wehrmacht, and I think your family will be proud of you." Xu Jun walked to the door and took the military cap handed over by Kirsten. Above, he congratulated his intelligence officer early.

"Thank you very much, my head of state, I have no doubt about this." The beautiful female intelligence officer neatly opened the door for Xu Jun.
