: 0.128s Scan: 0.060sThe tenacity of the German army was a little beyond Dai Gaole’s expectations!
He didn’t expect that this German army was so tenacious, just like the hard stone in the pit, smelly and hard!
“”General, our attack has been repelled again!”
The deputy commander said to him with a frustrated look.
Dai Gaole had already seen it through the telescope, so he didn’t need to remind him at all, he had already seen that the French attack had failed!
“Find out for me, which German unit is this and who is their commander!”
Dai Gaole was so angry that his teeth itched. Although he didn’t like to swear because of his personality, he had no place to vent his anger at this time, and he was almost furious!
“Yes, General!”
The deputy commander saw Dai Gaole’s livid face and didn’t dare to stay here any longer. If he stayed any longer, he would become Dai Gaole’s punching bag!
Because the First Army has been stationed in the Rhine region for many years, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, they have always been the focus of the Gauls. The Gauls have a lot of information about the First Army.
So the deputy commander quickly found the information that Dai Gaole wanted!
“General, the unit in front of us is Paulus’s 17th Division, which is the last reorganized division of the First Army. Originally, the First Army had only 16 divisions like the other armies, but for some reason, they added another division, and the added unit is the 17th Division in front of us!”
The deputy commander’s expression was very serious. The information he found showed that this unit was not an ordinary unit!
“In other words, this unit was forced to join the First Army by the German high-ranking officials, right?”
Dai Gaole immediately captured the most valuable part of this intelligence. If this unit was not originally part of the German army, then there are only two possibilities for the German high-ranking officials to force it to join the First Army!
First, this Paulus is a relative and was sent to the First Army for gilding.
Second, this Paulus is a talent, and his division is very powerful, so it will be specially assigned to the First Army to enhance their strength!
Judging from the loss suffered by the German army just now and the performance of the German army, Paulus obviously belongs to the latter!
This army should be the ace of the German army!
“If I have the chance, I really want to meet the German commander. They seem to be ahead of us every step of the way. They even guessed that we were going to counterattack Sedan, so they specially deployed the most elite infantry division here to resist us!”
When Dai Gaole thought of the enemy general who was fighting with him, who was extremely powerful and had the upper hand at every step, his heart became excited! It was a rare opportunity for him to be able to compete with such a high-level opponent!
However, Dai Gaole suddenly praised his opponent, which made the deputy commander next to him look confused.
Don’t Gaul and Hans have a blood feud?
Why does the commander seem to admire the enemy commander so much?
This idea is not appropriate at this time, right?
The deputy commander dared not say anything, dared not say anything. asked, but he silently remembered this matter!
Although Dai Gaole admired his opponent’s talent, it did not mean that he would show mercy!
On the contrary, after discovering that it was the German ace troops who blocked him, Dai Gaole’s anger instantly turned into full motivation!
If he could eat the king of this German army and open up the main traffic route to the north, he would be able to gain the upper hand in the first confrontation with the German commander!
Although the opponent was very effective and considered every step very carefully, he missed this uncertain factor!
“Just wait and see, I, Dai Gaole, will definitely surprise you!”
After the French attack was repelled, there was no intention to stop the attack. Dai Gaole did not even blink an eyelid, and directly replaced the division that had just been crippled with a new reorganized division!
His attitude was very clear, at all costs, without casualties, to take the Sedan area and annihilate this German army!
One side attacked fiercely without casualties, and the other side held on without fear of sacrifice. This was a battle of perseverance. Whoever has a stronger willpower will have the last laugh!
So, with both sides unwilling to give in, the battle soon turned into a bloody battle like a meat grinder!
……
Hans, Frank, German headquarters.
Paulus sent a telegram to the German headquarters for help as soon as the French army launched the attack.
In the telegram, he reported in detail the French army’s strength, weapons and equipment, combat effectiveness and other intelligence, and also expressed his determination: he will fight to the last soldier, and as long as he has a breath left, he will definitely defend the Sedan area!
Seeing this telegram, the expressions of everyone in the German headquarters became solemn!
“Who is this Dai Gaole?”
Some people don’t know much about this young French commander. They don’t know where he came from and why he is so tough. Under such circumstances, he led the French army to launch a mad dog attack on the German army.
This fierce fighting style is completely different from the usual style of the French army. This style is more like the style shown by the Mao Bears in the Second Battle of Jifu!
In 192, the Allied intervention forces once surrounded more than one million Soviet troops in the Jifu area. At that time, because there was no war, the German army sent a military inspection team to the Soviet Union to observe the Soviet battle up close.
At that time, the main general of the Soviet army, Marshal Tukhachevsky, used this almost mad dog-like attack when breaking the Allied encirclement.
Regardless of casualties on the battlefield, the Soviet army launched a fierce attack on the Kursk region controlled by the Romanians and Gauls. It took only a few days to defeat the opponent’s defense, allowing its encircled army to escape from this huge encirclement of the Allies!
At this time, the situation faced by the coalition forces was very similar to that of the Soviet army at the time. They were also surrounded by a huge encirclement by the German army.
To deal with this encirclement, they only need to concentrate their forces and attack a node on the German defense line, and they will have a chance to disintegrate the German encirclement!
However, this is easy to say but extremely difficult to do, because the German army has a large number of armored and mechanized troops, which makes the German army very fast. It only takes one day or even half a day to reach hundreds of kilometers!
This means that the coalition’s counterattack forces must take down the German positions in the shortest possible time, otherwise, the German reinforcements will arrive on the battlefield before they break through the German positions. At that time, they There is no chance to break the German encirclement!
If you want to take the position before the German reinforcements arrive, you have to attack at all costs 24 hours a day!
This kind of attack will bring great pressure to the defenders, making them exhausted and eventually lose the position under heavy casualties and fatigue.
However, the cost of using this tactic is also very high. Since there is no time to make sufficient firepower preparations, their offensive forces will suffer extremely heavy casualties under the enemy’s firepower attack!
The reason why this tactic is called a mad dog tactic is that this tactic kills one thousand enemies and loses three thousand of its own!
“This man is a disciple of Marshal Foch, who was promoted before Marshal Foch retired. He can be regarded as the leader of the younger generation in the Gallic Army!”
Mainz took over the topic and talked eloquently:”This man is an academic warrior. He has sufficient theoretical knowledge, but he is a bit bookish and belongs to the category of Confucian generals!”
“Confucian general? The opponent’s mad dog-like fighting style doesn’t look like a Confucian general at all!”
Everyone was surprised when they heard Mainz’s words!
Dai Gaole’s fighting style, which spared no expense and ignored casualties, didn’t look like a Confucian general at all!
“So, his behavior in this regard is very abnormal. I think the Gaul leaders must have given him a death order, so he had to do this, right?”
Dai Gaole is very famous. After all, he has been the president. However, Mainz thinks that this man is just so-so in military ability!
“The mad dog tactic is certainly useful, but it depends on who you are using it against!”
Mainz still has a card in his hand that he has not played. Now that the enemy has launched a fierce counterattack, it is time to play this card!
“Tell Dietrich to have his troops set out from the Ardennes Forest immediately, using the advantage of the cavalry to quickly break through the Ardennes Forest!”
After Mainz’s order was issued, someone immediately went to convey the order.
However, the generals were a little puzzled by this order:”Dietrich’s Sixth Army’s armored forces are relatively weak. If they want to go through the Ardennes Forest, it will take at least three to four days. Although the cavalry is faster, it will take about two days. However, even if the cavalry arrives, they lack the ability to attack and may not be able to break the siege of Sedan!”
Major Zeitzler, considering the strength of the Sixth Army, felt that this transfer seemed to be questionable!
Mainz looked at him strangely and smiled,”Why should I attack Sedan?”
