Battle of the Third Reich

v4 Chapter 50: King to King (Part 2)

"I see, we did neglect this."

Xu Jun smiled bitterly at the beating pointer on the radio in front of him with a microphone.

"No, I didn't mean to blame you, don't apologize, this is something we didn't think of. The ultimate responsibility should be on me, I'm too negligent. Do you have anything to add to this matter? ...... Then, report to me as soon as there is new information.... Yes, I am not sure now... Now I need a more accurate report, and let Yoder take charge of this. Things are now a critical period... well, that's it, keep in touch."

Xu Jun took off the headphones and let out a long breath, then he smiled at the serious signal soldier sitting beside him, and handed the microphone and headphones to the soldier.

"Continue to keep in touch with the headquarters and notify me as soon as there is new news." Xu Jun told the soldiers.

"Follow your orders, Marshal." The soldier responded loudly with a firm expression on his face.

"Ok."

Xu Jun nodded approvingly, turned around and climbed out of the small compartment of the armored communication vehicle. Xu Jun's men had stood in front of the armored vehicle's door and waited for a long time. Seeing that Xu Jun had drilled out the narrow door, the officers immediately stood up and respectfully greeted him.

"My marshal, the battlefield has been cleaned up." Dao Gen stepped forward and reported to Xu Jun.

"How is the situation, is our loss report and record coming out? Oh, it can't be said that the record is, after all, those people are also German soldiers." Xu Jun thought of the inexplicable battle half an hour ago, there was an indescribable Table of frustration.

"They are indeed German soldiers, but they have become the traitors of Germany. If they succeed in the attack, no one can leave here, and the cause of Germany's great revival will be ruined here. So we can't have any tolerance for these traitors." Dougan replied loudly, and then he pointed to the field by the road and said to Xu Jun: "My marshal, I think you will understand after reading these things, they are totally trying to kill us."

"Oh, something."

Xu Jun looked with interest towards Dougan's finger.

"This is what happened..." Xu Jun was shocked after seeing those things, and he hurried towards the roadside.

Rows of artillery of various styles are now placed on the side of the road. Basically, they are heavy weapons standard equipped with the German army battalion troops, and some are equipped with professional artillery. The muzzle of these artillery shimmering in the sun is exuding a chilling deterrent force. Xu Jun knows what damage these weapons will cause to a unit equipped like himself. I felt a chill in my back.

"Four 37mm anti-tank guns, two 75mm infantry guns, fourteen 50mm mortars, six 81mm mortars, and six 20mm machine guns. They are all here. Heavy firepower can wipe us all out on the highway in ten minutes. With this firepower we have no chance of even escaping.” Randolph said with his teeth clenched in front of the row of heavy weapons.

"Marshal, they wanted to murder you. None of us expected that we would encounter an ambush in an area that we have already cleared. This is not a fighting area. No one will send reconnaissance and search troops on both wings when they are operating from their safe rear. They also understand this, so I can be sure that this is premeditated, this is a **naked murder." Lanson also said on the side.

"I know that their goal is me, and when I saw their military uniforms, I understood. But why do they have so many heavy weapons that they don't use against us. And I didn't find the firepower of their heavy weapons." Xu Jun was puzzled.

"Allow me to explain this to you. They concealed these weapons very well. It should be said that the heavy fire points set by the French were very concealed. These artillery were put into those hidden fire points, but they were not there. Let our troops discover that after more than 20 years of erosion, these firepower points and the surrounding environment have been integrated into one, and it is impossible to find them if they are not close. I can also give you about why they did not use these weapons. Satisfactory answer, they don’t want to use these artillery pieces, in fact they have used it... but this...

Here comes a strange smile on Dougan's face. Seeing that his always serious subordinate suddenly showed an unprecedented expression, Xu Jun was even more curious about the answer.

"Hurry up, Colonel Dougan, what the **** is going on." Xu Jun urged urgently.

"This... My marshal, this was General Weiller's idea, but he did not report it to you in advance. He said at the time that it was just an insurance measure in case of accidents, so I should not disturb you with this. jobs."

"Weirle? Why did weirle get involved, and tell me quickly, rest assured, I won't be like this for Weirle." Xu Jun's appetite has been suspended by Dougan.

"Then I will tell you the truth. General Weiller issued a secret order when he was responsible for the distribution of supplies. All the SS troops on the French front could only get half of the usual ammunition supplies, and he was still distributing. Arms and ammunition for the Armed Forces of Armed Forces have been processed, and the bottom fire of those shells has been processed. That is to say, all the heavy weapons with a diameter of 20 mm or more in the Armed Forces are actually equipped with only a pile of shells. For insurance, he also ordered the distribution of new ammunition while collecting their ammunition for possible technical defects. Without ammunition, their artillery can only become a pile of scrap iron. And Adolf. Hitler Jingwei The flag team’s ammunition was resupplied three days ago, probably because of the small amount. They did not test-fire these valuable ammunition. I can now imagine that when they aimed at our fleet and fired, the artillery What expression will appear on the commander's face."

"It turns out like this! Weyler, this guy, ha ha ha ha." Xu Jun didn't think it was for this reason, he was very happy about it. Weierle was indeed a competent conspirator. This army chief of staff once again saved himself and all the people present. Xu Jun decided to wait for this matter to end and reward him for all he did. old man.

Now most of the questions have been answered. The attackers are not as reckless and crazy as they thought. In fact, they set up an ambush position very professionally. However, they did not expect that their heavy weapons would be completely ineffective at the beginning of the war. When they found out that the battle had already begun, they had to continue to fight hard. However, from this point, we can see that this army is indeed as powerful as the legend, and encountering other troops has already been in chaos because of this sudden situation. Even if there is no chaos, morale will be affected. But they not only did not like that, but also continued to maintain their fanatical morale to continue their attacks, it really made people have to admire their fighting enthusiasm.

"It is because of this that we have not suffered any greater losses. During the first round of attacks we lost eleven trucks, forty-seven soldiers were killed on the spot and sixty-nine people were injured. In addition to the later phase of shooting With the soldiers lost after the charge, now we have a total of 127 soldiers killed and 192 soldiers were injured to varying degrees. Half of them still have a certain combat effectiveness."

"That is to say, I have lost an entire company. It is really a heavy loss."

Xu Jun did not expect that the casualties would be so serious. He knew that the casualties of these soldiers could have been avoided. All this was caused by his negligence, so he felt a deep regret and frustration. Xu Jun wiped his face hard with both hands, and then shook his head. He wanted to get rid of that idea from his mind. He knew it was not time for himself to be depressed and blamed. This is a brutal war. If you can't maintain a normal mentality to look at these issues, you will not be able to continue fighting. Especially the enemies he will face in the future will be more powerful. Without a strong and cold heart, he will not be eligible to live in this game.

"How about the other party's casualties?" Xu Jun turned around and looked at the artillery coldly.

"Report Marshal, we have found out that the enemy we are facing is the armed SS "Adolf. The first motorized infantry battalion of the Hitler Fine Guards Flag Division. The whole battalion was 947. We annihilated each other. Among them, 420 were killed, and the rest were under their battalion commander Major Bruno. Twenty-seven people were captured by us and none of them ran away. We seized all their weapons and supplies."

"well."

Xu Jun is very satisfied with this result. Adolf. Hitler's fine guard flag division, which was later the first armored division of the famous Waffen SS. But now she hasn't been able to become an armored force. She is just a motorized infantry division, and they only hang a division brand, which is only a brigade combat team in terms of scale. This unit has always been famous for its crazy fighting enthusiasm and fighting styles of fighting to the end. To be honest, the combat quality of her soldiers is much worse than that of the fanatic beliefs she has. This is from her The results obtained were compared with the losses she paid for those results.

Many soldiers rushed towards the enemy with rifles without grasping the skills and knowledge that would enable him to survive on the battlefield. They fought with fear and fearlessness. Fortunately, the enemies they encountered so far lacked or feared their fanaticism, so they could maintain their undefeated record. If one day they meet a truly well-trained and experienced army, they will pay a heavy price, just like this time, they are instantly under the high-speed assault and infantry skilled melee skills that the German Army is best at. It collapsed.

"Are you asking about the captives?" Dogen asked quietly on the side. In his mind, he was a German policeman before being an SS officer, so he treated the captive armed SS. The team members did not catch a cold at all. In his eyes, the greatest leader of Germany was treason. These people were not worthy of the rank of SS.

"Okay, bring all the captive officers. Oh, as long as the battalion officers." Xu Jun wants to know the truth behind the attack from the mouth of those officers. Whether the plan to attack Hitler has failed this time, Xu Jun does not Dare to guarantee. Xu Jun feels that he must first understand some key situations from the mouths of these captives before he can make the next decision.

Bruno was not as persevering as he thought, and his nerve collapsed after Dougan sneered and pulled out his pistol and pointed at his head for three seconds. The SS Major, who is famous for his ruthlessness and ruthlessness in his subordinates' mind, now trembles like a newborn deer. He confessed all the causes and consequences of the matter within five minutes. He knelt in front of Xu Jun He begged the deputy head of state, who was in the name of treating the enemy never to be soft, to forgive his crimes. He begged Xu Jun to leave his life. He vowed that if he left his life, he would do his loyalty to Xu Jun. The SS majors in their thirties turned into tears under the eyes of everyone.

"It's a shame for the SS, how can such a person become the commander of a combat force." Dougan looked at Bruno sitting on the ground crying like a child, he felt a little uncontrollable. Finger, now he really wants to drill a hole in this scumbag that has tarnished the honor of SS officers.

"Take him down and give him the treatment he deserves." Xu Jun said coldly, and then he used his eyes to stop the roots that wanted to break out, and the depressed SS colonel had to put the pistol into his holster. .

"You all understand, now order the troops to prepare for departure, leaving a row to watch the prisoners, and the troops receiving these people are already on their way to here. Leave the health company to take care of the wounded, and the severely wounded are immediately sent to the neighborhood by car The nearest military hospital. Alright, gentlemen, execute the order." Xu Jun issued the order with a dignified expression.

"Follow your orders, Your Excellency Marshal." The subordinates answered quickly and loudly, then turned and ran towards the various departments.

"I have fully understood it now. It seems that I really underestimated you, Adolf. Hitler. Unfortunately, you lost this gambling." Xu Jun whispered while looking at the smoking position not far away.

According to Bruno, two days ago he received a secret telegram from Heidrich, who ordered him to lead his troops to leave the defense zone and set up an ambush position as quietly as possible without disturbing others. The telegraph also stated that the head of state was threatened by the traitors, and those traitors would go through this road towards Liz, ordering him to eliminate any German convoy passing by this road at all costs. As a result, Bruno strictly executed Heidrich's order, because the telegram also indicated that it was an action authorized by the head of state. Bruno took his battalion to this ambush location on the grounds of marching training. Needless to say the next thing, they waited for a day, and the first team they encountered was their own.

Let's not talk about how the other party's ambush was done, just to say that the chosen ambush location can show the planner's savvy. Hitler deliberately revealed his position to himself first. He created the illusion that he would take over the command of the A Group Army Command. Perhaps it is not an illusion. In short, he wanted to lead himself out. He knew he would stop him from doing that. There is only one road from Dunkirk to Liz. This road will intersect with the road that Hitler took. If he wants to stop him before he reaches Liz, he has to take this road.

So he arranged ambush here, no matter from which point he will not fail. If Xu Jun personally leads the team, then the best, Hitler can completely eliminate him from **. Even if he is not in the team, as long as he can grab a senior man, even a corpse, he can use this to prove to the Germans that Xu Jun betrayed him. What will be the attitude of the German people by then? It is difficult to say, at least in this matter Xu Jun will suddenly change from active to passive, unless he really pulls up the army to engage in mutiny, otherwise it will be difficult to reverse the situation again, his hard work will be lost He may lose to Hitler in the end.

"Marshal." A communications soldier ran over quickly, and he pulled Xu Jun back to reality from his contemplation.

"What is it?" Xu Jun turned to look at the soldier.

"It's Marshal Brauchic, he is waiting to talk to you now."

"Oh, I see." Xu Jun hurried towards the communication car.

"Marshal Reinhardt, the troops attacking you have been identified. It should be the first and second motorized infantry battalions of the SS Adolf Hitler Jingweiqi division. They left the barracks in the name of training two days ago. , The officer responsible for monitoring them did not expect that the problem would be so serious, he did not even report to the headquarters. I have reprimanded him. Also, the news from the air reconnaissance was on the road about 20 kilometers east of you Found a team, the scale is not small, I think it should be that person." Brauchic slowly reported to Xu Jun.

"Twenty kilometers east of me? When is this information?"

Xu Jun quickly picked up a pencil on the workbench in front of him, and then he said to the correspondent sitting on the side: "Map."

"Oh, here you are, Marshal." The communications soldier reacted, and he hurriedly pulled out a map of the area from the folder on the side and handed it to Xu Jun.

"You said it was twenty kilometers, right." Xu Jun took a scale to find his position on the map.

"Yes, twenty kilometers, to the east, the reconnaissance report was just delivered to me, fifteen minutes ago." Brauchic replied.

"I see, now I have prepared my subordinates for departure. I think I can hit him head-on." Xu Jun began to get excited. If the reconnaissance report is accurate, this game can really end.
