Zhang Jun's [-]st Panzer Army of the SS relies on two transportation lines, road and railway, so that its troops and equipment can be transported to the front line in time, reach a unit, and deploy a unit. The unit moves quickly and never drags its feet. Zhang Jun really likes the vigorous and vigorous style of the army. First of all, this new army has spirit. Don't underestimate the spirit of this army. It is morale, one of the main conditions that determine the outcome of a war.

In one day, Zhang Jun's [-] troops were in full swing around Pirna, and the border troops on the opposite side of the Czech Republic suddenly became tense, because the arrival of so many German troops was so sudden that the Czech government did not respond at all. Come on, if the German army really wants to fight at this time, just the few border posts in the Czech Republic, it is still not the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Hitler and Zhang Jun mean at this time not to fight now, but to use force to deter To achieve political goals, because Germany, which has just expanded its military, is still very weak, and the preparations for the war are far from being completed. Hitler knew it well, and Zhang Jun knew it even more.

Zhang Jun gave Hitler's tactic a name "a knife cuts butter, one piece at a time." The first knife was used on Austria, and Hitler succeeded. This time it was the Sudetenland area, because of the British Prime Minister's appeasement policy. One knife will soon cut another piece of "butter" for Germany.

The reaction of the Czech government was, of course, a fierce protest. Hitler’s response was that the protest was invalid. We are conducting military exercises on German soil. It’s none of your business. Even if the 300 million Germans in the Sudetenland demand independence, it’s not like we in Germany. ah!That was the legitimate demand of the Germanic majority in the region, and the Czech government, faced with Hitler's outrageous response, began meeting to work out a countermeasure.

Political diplomacy is not something that Zhang Jun can participate in now. Zhang Jun believes that the great head of state will not lose to anyone in terms of political and diplomatic skills, and there is no need for Zhang Jun, a diplomatic idiot, to mix it up.

On April 1938, 4, Zhang Jun’s SS First Armor exercise officially started. The first day’s exercise subjects were mainly the exercise assessment of individual soldiers’ personal qualities;

a cohort of subjects

1. The queue action of a single player

[1] Standing at attention...stop turning...

2. Queue action of the squad

[1] Squad formations...discrete...

Two physical subjects

1. Strength training:

1 push-ups, sit-ups 2, speed quality training: ...

Triple Grab Fighting Training

1. Capture the enemy technical subjects

[1] Boxing (1) Straight punch... (1) Fighting punch (16 strokes)

2 companion app

[1] Lifting the legs and pressing the neck [2] Twisting the ankles and kneeling... [10] Clamping the arms and grabbing the dagger

Four weapons and equipment subjects

[1] The basic posture of holding a gun [2] The basic action of inspecting a gun...

Zhang Jun spent three days practicing a series of basic subjects such as individual quality subjects and individual teamwork subjects. The results were very good. All SS troops passed the assessment of these subjects. As soon as the outline was handed in, I went directly to my division headquarters. What Rommel disliked the most was staying in the office. Even if Zhang Jun wanted to keep Rommel in the military headquarters, it was impossible. For the next military exercises, only Zhang Jun could do it. I brought a group of staff officers with no combat experience to organize it. Although they have no experience, it can be regarded as a kind of training for them.

Zhang Jun divided his SS army into two parts, the red and blue sides, each with 2.5 people, including two armored divisions and half an aviation division. Jun is of course the chief referee, and tactical issues are best decided by the front-line commanders. Zhang Jun's main job is to choose the strategic direction.

The red and blue armies formed a formation outside Pirna. The strength and weaponry of the two sides in this exercise were basically the same, so it was a test of the commander's command and adaptability. It was not very favorable. Both Rommel and Hauser were in their own command posts, thinking hard and thinking about countermeasures.

Rommel commanded the "Viking Division" and "Prince Eugen" divisions. These two units are second to the "Skeleton Division" and "Imperial Division" in terms of formation time and number of veterans, but Rommel has a commanding division level The actual combat experience of the troops, while Rommel's opponent, Hausser, only commanded regiment-level troops. Don't underestimate the gap at this level. The tactics considered by the division commanders and regimental commanders are not on the same level. It can be said that both red and blue have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Blue team command post;

Hausser is discussing tactics with Ike. Hausser has been thinking hard for a long time, but he has not found a good strategy to "destroy the enemy". They confronted each other along a small river, and both sides built a series of fortifications. With such an average combat power, if they wanted to push from the front, it would definitely fail. When the force and weapons were basically the same, the casualties of the attack would always be more on defense.

"Ike, do you have any good strategies to break this deadlock and allow our army to gain the initiative in the battle."

"Brother Sale, don't embarrass me. In the past, the army commander ordered us to fight wherever we went. It would save trouble. I really have no choice."

"Brother Ike, in the past we commanded a regiment without having to think about any combat issues. Now we command a division or more troops. We can no longer have that kind of dependent thinking. I think we might as well not think about it." Changes come and go."

"Okay, I agree with your unchanging response to all changes."

……

Red Command Post:

Rommel also stood quietly in front of the sand table and thought about the problem. The two sides faced each other across a small river ten kilometers long. It was impossible to attack in a roundabout way on this front. If the roundabout was not possible, what would happen to the breakthrough in the center?Rommel took out the tank model and started fiddling with it on the sand table. Commander Wilhelm Bittrich was on the side as an assistant. Rommel found a relatively open front. The terrain here is relatively flat and more suitable than other fronts. Tank assault.

The location was selected, followed by analysis, and Rommel began to speak to himself:

"If I only use half of the troops on the other lines of defense, then I can concentrate an attacking force of about 1 people. If the enemy adopts a defensive position, this flat front must be their defense focus, maybe They will also head-to-head with the enemy's armored forces, and if the enemy designs a trap here, it will be a trap for themselves."

This flat front line seems to be the most conducive to attack, but in fact, it is not the most dangerous area in the eyes of the enemy, and key defense is inevitable.Rommel went on to fiddle with:

"If I first deliberately gather some troops on the flat eastern front, then set more troop numbers, send more than a dozen real tanks, and deploy hundreds of fake tanks at the same time to paralyze the enemy, and then choose the breakthrough point. On the west side of the front line, where the terrain is relatively dangerous, it can hit the enemy's weakness. To achieve this tactical effect, the following conditions must be supplemented, otherwise this campaign plan will not be successful.

First of all, you need corresponding bridging tools. If you don’t have any, just load the truck with soil and drive into the small river to build a bridge immediately. It is very convenient. It is said that your own pontoon bridge troops can also quickly erect on this small river. Crossing the bridge, I can solve this one.

The second is that the area of ​​the battle line is rapidly rolling hills. Can your own armored troops pass through this area and then drive to the enemy's rear for a blitzkrieg? Fortunately, Rommel once passed by this part of the western front in person. Although the hills There are many, but tanks can still pass, but the speed is slower, and more engineers are needed, and there is no shortage of engineers Rommel.

The third is to deal with the problem of the enemy being deceived and then giving full reinforcements. Rommel really has no good way to do this. The main reason is that the two sides have equal strength and weapons. If they try their best to reinforce the encirclement, Rommel will be very passive. How to deal with the danger of being surrounded by anti-encirclement baffled Rommel again.

Rommel was talking to himself, and Bittrich subconsciously said:

"Then let's get rid of his headquarters."

"What, Bittrich, are you repeating what you just said."

"What's the matter, General, I said we'll get rid of his headquarters."

Although Bittrich's military rank is the same as Rommel's, it is the rank of major general, but Rommel also has a position-deputy commander, so Bittrich is regarded as a subordinate.

Rommel was suddenly inspired, thanked Bittrich twice, and then quickly picked up the phone on the table.

"Notify Otto immediately to come see me."

Otto is a native of Vienna. He once went to Rommel to train at the Vienna Military Academy where Rommel was the principal. Rommel was very impressed with himself as a student. During the training at the military academy, Otto fell in love with fencing crazily. "Sports" at that time was not "duel" or "sports" as we imagined now. At that time, this activity was purely traditional education, and there were neither winners nor losers in the confrontation.But there are quite a few naughty kids who take it too seriously and use this for dueling.Otto has been actively involved in this "sport" since his freshman year, starting his first duel.

Otto was a fairly well-known swordsman at the time, despite his youth.However, Otto's swordsmanship obviously cannot achieve the realm of "killing a person in three steps, never leaving a thousand miles away". In a duel among the students, Otto left his mark on his face in the future - a long scar.It is said that Otto participated in 15 duels and left a scar on the tenth, which became his proud capital in the future.

Being disfigured may be a painful thing for many people, but in this kind of duel back then, the eye-catching scars on the face were something to be proud of. The atmosphere at that time was such that Otto even This "dream".This scar accompanied him all his life, and Americans called him "Scarface" accordingly.
