Chapter 908 Night Battle
The final work will end tomorrow, and the papers will be revised tomorrow. It is expected that it will end in the morning and you can pay the debt in the afternoon... I seem to owe three chapters, so I will pay it back slowly!
***************
"Zoafu Corps is good at night battles?" Eisenhower couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi in surprise.
Eisenhower is somewhat similar to German Marshal Lundstedt: Lundstedt is an armored expert who has never driven tanks, while Eisenhower is a commander who has never been on the battlefield, so it is inevitable that he will be a little out of touch with reality.
"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded: "It should be said... this is our training for the Zoafu Corps, initially for the long-distance raid of the Battle of Sicily..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but pause.
The sentence just now was that Zhang Chi was almost talking. You should know that Zhang Chi and the United States were "lost" to attack Britain in the long-distance raid in Sicily, and that Zhang Chi and the United States were "lost" to accidentally hit the enemy. At this time, Alexander and Montgomery were still present.
However, Alexander and Montgomery didn't seem to realize this. At this time, they were thinking about the big thora pussy they had stabbed!
So Zhang Chi continued: "Also, considering that the Zoafu Corps often cannot receive reinforcements from the Navy and Air Force, or that they cannot cooperate well with the sea and air force, so they focus on night battles during training!"
Eisenhower couldn't help but nod.
Zhang Chi was obviously correct in doing this, because the soldiers of the Zoaf Corps were Algerians, while the Navy of the Algiers government was mainly French, and the Air Force was temporarily appointed by the US air force... If it were before, that is, the officers of the Zoaf Corps were still held by the French, then there would be no big problem in coordination with the French Navy, but after the reform, this would become a big problem.
On the other hand, no matter how much the Zoafu Corps trains sea, land, and air coordination is not as good as the US military's systemic troops, so the Zoafu Corps should not follow the US military's training methods. Training night battles to make up for the shortcomings of the US military is a good choice.
Thinking of this, Eisenhower's eyes couldn't help but lit up: "I remember that the Zoafu Army had three troops of about 100,000, right?"
"Yes!"
"They are all training for night battles?"
“Most are!”
“What subjects are you training?”
"Stirring, clearing mines, clearing obstacles, sneak attacks, infiltration..."
"How powerful are their combat power?" Eisenhower became more and more surprised as he heard it. These subjects can be said to be designed for the battle.
In fact, Zhang Chi did this consciously, because before that, he knew that the next battle the Zoafu Corps would face was likely to be the Normandy Landing.
"After reform, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved on the original basis!" Zhang Chi replied: "I believe they can be competent for this task!"
"Major General!" Montgomery opposed: "I believe it is one thing, but whether you can win is another! I don't agree with taking this risk!"
Montgomery seemed to understand Zhang Chi's intention and let Zoafu's army attack before the first batch of landing troops. It would undoubtedly steal everyone's limelight, including the US military. So it is certain that this would have a great negative impact on "fighting France", which is also unfavorable to Britain.
"Tell me the reason!" Eisenhower asked: "The reason you don't agree with!"
"Uh..." Montgomery thought for a while and replied: "Once the Zoaf Corps is exposed, I mean... they were discovered by the Germans during the operation, then the Germans will prepare in advance, and we will face greater difficulties when we land at dawn!"
Eisenhower turned his gaze to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "This is not a problem. The attack of the Zoafu Corps was about one to two hours before the large army attack. Even if the Germans were discovered, what preparations could the Germans make in these two hours? What's more, if discovered, the Zoafu Corps will launch a strong attack on the German defense line. They will even take advantage of the darkness to penetrate into the German defense line and put the German army in chaos. Even if they cannot break through the German defense line, it will be beneficial to the Allied offensive next, right?"
Montgomery couldn't help but speak out.
"But..." Alexander said: "How can you make so many people land on the shore without being discovered by the Germans? Also, the beach is full of mines laid by enemies. Landing in the dark will only be a death sentence, right?"
"This is what the Zoafu Corps needs to worry about!" Zhang Chi said: "And, any battle has risks, right?"
After thinking about it, Eisenhower said, "Gentlemen, let me talk about this issue. What is before us is nothing more than two choices, either not to do this or do this."
After glanced at Alexander and Montgomery, Eisenhower continued: "If we don't do this, it means we have to find a better way. Can we find a better way?"
No one answered, because there is indeed no better way.
"The other option is to let Zoafu Corps go!" Eisenhower said: "There is indeed a risk, but even if Zoafu Corps fails to succeed, it will have a small negative impact on the Allies. Once Zoafu Corps succeeds... it will make us win Normandy in one fell swoop and win. So, what reason do we have to refuse?"
"General!" said Alexander: "I still hope you should consider it carefully, because if the attack of the Zoaf Corps fails, we will most likely not be able to provide them with firepower and will not be able to bring them back. In other words, they will be annihilated on the beach by the Germans..."
"General Alexander!" Zhang Chi interrupted Alexander's words: "When did you care about the life and death of the Algerians?"
"This is what we should care about, right?" Alexander replied.
"Is that true?" Zhang Chi asked back: "Just like you care about Chinese soldiers on the battlefield in Myanmar?"
Alexander couldn't help but speak in silence.
What Zhang Chi couldn't stand the most was this kind of rhetoric that had ulterior motives. Even everyone knew Alexander's intentions. He was just unwilling to defeat the Algiers government, but now he was in trouble.
Seeing that no one objected, Eisenhower said, "Then, I decided, just do it!"
As he said that, Eisenhower said to Zhang Chi: "I think you need to prepare the Zoafu Corps as soon as possible!"
"Which unit? General!" Zhang Chi asked.
“All!”
"What?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at Eisenhower in surprise.
"Yes!" Eisenhower nodded: "You know, we have five login sites in total. Even if one division is sent to each login site, it will require five divisions! So, get them all ready!"
Chapter completed!
