Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 31: Receive the net
At 9 o'clock in the morning on May 28, 1940, the shooting range of the Tournai Base in Belgium.
"Ba, Ba, Ba..."
With a continuous burst of gunfire, the target of the gun fifty meters away was smashed into a sieve. Xu Jun and his officers clapped vigorously. Hans calmly lowered his arm and walked towards the group of officers behind him with his gun.
"Good fight, Hans, among us, your marksmanship is the most accurate, haha. What do you think of this gun?" Xu Jun shouted at Hans.
Hans walked to Xu Jun and answered with a smile.
"My general, don’t make fun of me. If you don’t have good marksmanship, how could you think of this shooting method? I really didn’t expect the old guns in the last war to have such a strong firepower after the improvement. . In contrast, my Luger is a toy. It’s a little heavier and bigger, so it’s a bit inconvenient to carry."
Hans handed Xu Jun the Mauser 1932 automatic pistol in his hand. Xu Jun took the heavy pistol, opened the barrel and looked at it skillfully, retracted the empty magazine, and stretched his hand aside. Randolph on the side quickly handed a new magazine, Xu Jun took it and put it neatly on the magazine, then looked at the officers on the side.
"Who wants to try now? How about the chief of staff? I don't want to shoot a few shots?"
Colonel Weierle, Chief of Staff, waved his hand and smiled and said no. However, the civilian officers standing by the side are eager to try them. They usually do some desk work and can't fire a few shots a year. Now the commander gives them the opportunity to have gun addiction. Now they all stand up one by one and say they want to try.
"Haha, do you all want to play? Don't worry, everyone has it. Lieutenant Huer, please bring the guns of the command staff first."
"Yes, General." A young lieutenant agreed, and hurriedly led a few soldiers towards the army camp behind.
"The headquarters is equipped with a gun? General, don't you want to refit us with this pistol, do you?" Weierle was surprised. "For the officer, is this a bit too big and too heavy."
Xu Jun turned his head and smiled and said: "Not only the officers, every soldier in my legion will get a pistol."
Then he took two steps, turned around and spoke to the group of puzzled officers.
"I think everyone has seen the power of Mauser 1932. Its instant firepower has surpassed all automatic pistols in the world. And his range is also satisfying. What our soldiers on the front line lack is that Continuous firepower in close combat. You don’t really want our brave German soldiers to fight the enemy with bayonet. This kind of pistol will be the last line of defense for our infantry.
You can imagine that when our soldiers rush towards him in the face of enemies several times his size, a reliable and fierce automatic pistol can be more useful than a single-shot 98K plus a bayonet. Up. Although it is a little bigger and heavier, if it can save your life at a critical moment, then what does it matter even if there are these problems?
And it can also strengthen the offensive firepower of our infantry squad. Our submachine guns are not many now. Only non-commissioned officers and officers can be equipped with one. And this kind of automatic pistol is just one when connected to the holster. Small submachine gun. You have already seen this point, so there should be no comments. "
Colonel Weierle suddenly realized after listening, and nodded again and again, but he still had some questions, he asked.
"Do we now have so many of these pistols in the hands of every soldier? Know that this pistol is not an army-standard pistol. Can Mauser be able to produce so many such pistols in a short time? "
"Yes, this is the first time I have seen this pistol. I used a similar pistol in the last war, but it is a single-shot automatic pistol and does not have this type of burst function." Daogen on the side also raised his question.
"There is no need to worry about this. In fact, these are caused by the short-sightedness of the former head of the Army Ordnance Department. He believes that the weight and size of this weapon refuses to be equipped in the German army. But you must Unexpectedly, how popular this weapon of Mauser is abroad. Especially in Asia, where most of the military is equipped with this pistol. The biggest customer is China, and they have ordered more than a dozen from Mauser. Ten thousand such weapons. But everyone knows that our recent orders from China have been cancelled due to our relationship with Japan.
There are now 130,000 such pistols in Mauser’s warehouse, and its ammunition is countless. When I got the news, I was ready to use this batch of pistols as soon as possible. Instead of keeping them in a warehouse, it would be better to let our soldiers have an extra good self-defense weapon.
And after studying the methods and experience of Chinese people using this weapon, I found the correct way to shoot this pistol. Just as Hans demonstrated earlier, the gun was fired at an oblique angle of forty-five degrees for single shots, and shot across the gun body for bursts. This method can improve the accuracy of shooting this weapon. The Chinese are indeed the most capable of exerting the power of this weapon in the world, and their invention makes this weapon more perfect. "
At this time, Lieutenant Hull had brought a large box with a few soldiers, then he opened the lid and stood aside to report loudly.
"Report to the general that the weapon has been taken."
Xu Jun walked over, took a pistol from the box and took a look, then turned around to the officers and said: "These are custom made by Mauser for my command officers. The 1932 type reduces the weight and the rate of fire during bursts. Since everyone is a staff officer, the general ten-round magazine is sufficient, so there is no need to issue twenty-round magazines. Soldiers arrive One ten-round magazine and two twenty-round magazines will be allotted at that time, depending on the situation. Now everyone will get your new guns. You can always wear the original pistols and use them on the battlefield. "
The officers agreed and they all stepped forward with great interest and picked their guns.
At this time, Xu Jun walked to the side and said to Hu Er, "Lieutenant Hu Er, thank you for delivering the weapons I need to me so quickly. After you go back, you will also report to your boss Thoth Ordnance The minister conveyed my gratitude."
"Thank you for your compliment. It is my honor to work for a great commander like you. I will definitely convey your thanks to Minister Toth, please rest assured."
"Okay, when will the ammunition I want be delivered."
"When I set out, several military factories were already delivering goods. Minister Toth had already given them a dead order. They must be delivered here today, and they should be there soon. Don’t worry, General ."
Xu Jun said solemnly: "You have to know that this special batch of ammunition is very important for our next stage of operations. If it is not delivered here today, the consequences will be very serious. And you have to urge you again. Those production plants must now go all out to produce these types of ammunition. It does not matter if other production stops, but they must ensure the production quantity of these types of ammunition, understand?"
"Yes, General, I will send a telegram now."
"Okay, you go." Xu Jun saluted, and Hu Er hurried to the barracks of the communications company after returning the salute.
Goering left behind a lot of jobs and industries after the fall, which led to another battle among the top Nazis. Since I returned to the frontline after the meeting, I was unable to participate in the spoils-sharing meeting later. But what I didn't expect was that the biggest beneficiary in the end was still myself. Goring's factories and enterprises were put under his own name, and the position of the fattest four-year plan manager also fell into his own hands.
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard the news the day before yesterday. Only later did I know that Hitler had left him the position of the General Office of the Four-Year Plan. What's more, I haven't expressed my opinion about this position until now, so that several other high-level executives couldn't figure out their own way. If you are interested in this position, who would dare to get involved in this position, then Goring will be the specimen.
And those factories and companies are even more exaggerated. Before a few others can speak up, my secretary Martin. Borman turned them around quietly. When the others reacted, they couldn't help sighing, that guy really deserved to be "Cyprus"'s subordinate, just like his master, and his mouth was quick and cruel. However, since Goring was defeated by himself, it is also appropriate to divide the head by himself. Everyone has no objection to this. And because Goring has many industries besides these companies, especially a large number of artworks and jewelry, it is enough. Let the remaining few points, so the final result is finally happy.
Xu Jun couldn't help but treat his subordinate Martin, who hadn't seen him personally. Borman became curious. He was Hitler's secretary in history, but now he has become his own secretary. That man is a sinister, cunning and vicious conspirator in historical records, but he is also a famous loyal dog. When the battle here is over, I really have to find some time to meet the Nazi Party chief.
Now that I have the title of General Office of the Four-Year Plan, the Ordnance Department has in fact become its own subordinate unit. The Minister of Ordnance Toth and Goering have been at odds, this time he took Goering down to help him a lot, so he is full of good feelings for himself. As a result, when he made those special requests to him, he agreed without hesitation, saving himself a lot of trouble.
Now that the situation is clear, the British have restarted their "generator" plan. They have swept a small channel in the minefield they have laid, and they have transported three ships to Gort yesterday afternoon. Provision. But it is too late for them to work hard. Last night, Guderian's armored forces had broken through the flood defense line of the canal zone and reached the outer city defense line of Dunkirk this morning. The British port and dock are now within the range of Guderian's heavy artillery.
This morning, Guderian used his heavy artillery in conjunction with the artillery school-fired aircraft to leave the three small freighters on the dock in Dunkirk forever. According to his orders, Guderian stopped moving forward. He is building a solid fortification. The Nineteenth Armored Army is going to slowly soak there while drinking beer and blowing in the sea breeze to take a rest. If nothing happens, you can fire a few cannons in the city to put pressure on the British and destroy their morale. .
And the "Cyprus" regiment directly under his control is also very powerful on the Belgian battlefield. It has now penetrated deeply into the back of the Belgians along the borders of France and Belgium, separating the British and the Belgians. Open. The Sixth Army also quickly broke through the Belgian defense line frontally and was advancing parallel to the sea from the entire front. The Belgian casualties are approaching 50,000 people, and it should have reached the critical point he can bear. They are collapsing, and the surrender of the Belgian army will only be within a few hours.
As soon as Belgium surrenders, the "Cyprus" Legion will immediately take over the Belgian defense line on the right side of Dunkirk. At that time, the "Cyprus" Legion and Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps Engrave both sides at Dunkel to completely lock the port. Coupled with the adjustment of the entire Second Air Force of the Air Force, the British will have no chance of escape. Next, I can sit there and play slowly with the British.
I am going to use the British Expeditionary Force as a bait. In fact, as long as I show the British people such a glimmer of hope of escape, I can let the Royal Air Force shed the last drop of blood in that sea area. Maybe they may be The navy also paid a price.
The battle in France is also going well. Now Kleist is enthusiastically taking his armored cluster and cutting the French First Army into pieces~IndoMTL.com~ Now you can see large and small encirclements everywhere on the map of the center line battlefield.
The British Expeditionary Force has been compressed into a small area near Dunkirk by the Germans, and the connection between them and the French First Army has been completely cut off.
The German Fourth Army surrounded the four British infantry divisions outside the city of Arras. They are now besieging the British and sending several troops to the Weigang line in France to frighten them. French.
I heard that those British people have begun to contact the Fourth Army to surrender. They don’t have much ammunition and supplies, but the German army just doesn’t attack, and they don’t even persuade them to surrender. This apparent attitude of wanting to starve them makes The last bit of morale of those British people was also exhausted.
Now I only wait for the Belgians to surrender. At that time, my ten must-have formation can really close the last hole, and the suffering of the British can be regarded as the real beginning.
In the distance, a staff officer on duty ran over with a telegram panting. He breathed and reported after standing still in front of Xu Jun.
"General Feng. Bock called. The King of Belgium sent an envoy to ask for a ceasefire. They are ready to surrender. General Feng, Bock asked you how to answer." Then he handed the telegram.
Xu Jun took the telegram and smiled slightly and said to the staff officer.
"It seems that you need to exercise more, because from now on we may be several times as busy as before. Hahahaha, the show is finally about to begin."
