Chapter 21: Strategies After Victory
After handing Joseph over to the air war girls who arrived later, Ophelia went to find another target.
When Ophelia assaulted the underground garage, the Marine Corps gradually pushed to the near the underground entrance. The First Division of the Silesian Self-Determination Army led by Carl also arrived at the battlefield to assist the Zhanji Brigade in clearing out the remnants of the stubborn resistance.
Li Xiang was very happy to learn that he had captured the other party's supreme commander. In this battle tonight, he annihilated the enemy's army and captured the enemy's commander. It was perfect. He felt that he was very lucky.
The news reached the self-determination army, and they gave a shocking cheer. Through these cheers, the remaining Poles learned that their commander was captured by the enemy, and the Poles' fighting spirit and morale dropped to the lowest point.
The remaining Poles' eyes were shaken. Although there were still many alchemists alive, everyone knew that the overall situation was settled, and if they continued to resist stubbornly, they would be seeking death.
After a brief firefight, the remaining Polish soldiers chose to surrender.
For soldiers, surrender is a great shame and may not be washed away in their entire lives. But if they do not surrender, they will die. Only by surrender can they survive. Compared with honor, living is more important.
The representatives of the Junker family who were waiting in Greevecai who supported this battle received good news: they annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, captured 4,000 enemy troops, and captured Joseph, the commander-in-chief of the enemy Katowice, and lost less than 500. Suddenly, cheered! Long live Germany.
Rudendolf soon received news from the front. After watching the exercise, Rudendolf attached importance to Li Xiang. Compared to the division of the territory to foreign countries, he was more willing to this land in the hands of a German who had certain strength and could not be controlled by Britain and France. Li Xiang's human-shaped weapons had a good combat power and could form considerable combat power and had great potential. Therefore, he decided to support it first and specially arranged a number of alchemists to secretly join the self-determination army. In order to obtain front-line information, he also instructed one of the sorcerers to record the battle process.
The sorcerer faithfully recorded all the battles that night with alchemy and printed them into the alchemy stone to send them back. Looking at the images recorded on the alchemy stone, Ludendorf was first surprised by the number of human-shaped weapons, and then was very shocked by the combat effectiveness of these human-shaped weapons. After reading them, he was silent for a long time. He got up and walked to the telephone, called the director of the Archives Management Office of the National Defense Forces, and asked him to help find a soldier named Heinz Guderian, and then notified the soldiers to come to where he lived. Although the general, who was puzzled by the high status, he made a special call to find an ordinary soldier with an unknown status, he still used this request as an order, and soon found Guderian, who was the commander of the 11th Company of the Third Light Infantry Battalion of the 10th Brigade of the National Defense Forces, and informed him to go to General Ludendorf.
Guderian came to Rudendolf's official residence with a nervous mood. She had talked with her idol when she was in the Army University, and she had a very pleasant chat at that time, but now it has been 8 years since then, and she doesn't think that people are asking her to come to reminisce about the past.
Although Ludendolf had a high status, his home was very simple and he did not ask the housekeeper. After she rang the doorbell, Ludendolf came out to open the door himself, which surprised her.
"General." Guderian restrained his excitement and saluted.
"Don't be so restrained, Heinz, I came to you to talk about your idea back then. Have you modified it?" Ludendolf said straight to the point.
"Yes, General."
Rudendolf nodded and led Guderian to the study.
"Do you still remember the idea you had back then? Use an alchemy chariot that can defend against attacks of a certain intensity as the decisive force, make full use of its speed advantage, and use a surprise attack to win before the enemy reacts."
Unexpectedly, after so long, Ludendolf still remembered what happened at that time. Guderian was very moved and said modestly, "I took it for granted at that time. General, I actually..."
Ludendolf waved his hand, interrupted him, and handed him the two alchemy stones, "Look at this and tell me what I think after reading it."
Guderian took the alchemy stone in confusion and activated the alchemy. Looking at the scenes recorded in the two alchemy stones, Guderian trembled excitedly and kept saying, "That's it, the war should go on like this. Yes, in this way, that goal can be achieved..."
After she finished watching it all, Guderian immediately asked Rudendolf, "General, are the weapons in the picture the latest weapons developed by our German?"
"That's right!" After Ludendolf came back, he investigated Li Xiang and felt a clear idea.
"If the weapon is more powerful and the individual soldiers reach the level of intermediate alchemy, the number is more than 50,000, and with more than 700,000 active soldiers, we can destroy France within two months." Guderian said firmly.
"Within two months?" Rudendolf's interest was aroused.
"Yes, it's only two months."
"I want to see how to defeat France in two months, which is a wish that neither the old guys nor those old guys fulfilled."
"It's actually very simple. With these human-shaped weapons, you only need to modify the plan proposed by Marshal Schriefen at that time." Since talking to Rudendorf, Guderian has become more confident in his own accidental idea. Over the past few years, he has been thinking and improving. As his knowledge increases, she has made many modifications and additions. Now that Rudendorf asks about her ideas, she talks endlessly.
The two talked all night. The next morning, Ludendolf instructed Goodrian to report to the General Staff, and at the same time told her to continue to improve the plan if she had time.
…………
This battle annihilated 40% of Poland's troops stationed in Upper Silesia, and was the only elite force in this area, making it a very simple matter to occupy Upper Silesia.
After the battle was completely over, Carl came to Li Xiang with the officers of the Self-Determination Army. He praised from the bottom of his heart, "Your Highness, your human-shaped alchemy weapon is really powerful. It is a blessing for them to be able to win so easily tonight."
"This time we can eliminate the Poles is the result of our joint efforts. The united Germans are invincible. We are united and victory is natural!" Li Xiang showed an extremely confident expression.
After Li Xiang said that, all the officers became furious again.
Carl looked at Li Xiang and felt very glorious. Tonight's brilliant victory once again showed his good luck. He met him before Li Xiang became rich and decided to support him without reservation. A few months ago, he learned from Weizel that these girls in armor were not alchemy products at all, but soldiers hired from another world. The cost of hiring such soldiers seemed not high. As long as there was enough coal and metal, they could be hired in large quantities. In just a few months, the number of these soldiers had indeed increased rapidly from the number he first saw to thousands now. He could not imagine that in another four or five years, there would be another country in this world that could withstand this army. The number alone would make people feel terrifying. It would be natural to defeat Britain and France at that time. After defeating Britain and France, what reward would his second-highest supporter receive? When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Li Xiang was very calm in the face of victory and did not take it seriously. The victory of this battle was just a victory in armor. The Poles had never seen the power of armor, especially the combat power of the Air Warrior, so they did not provide any protection in the air, which led to the air raids that easily hit them. If they saw it in the future, they would naturally not let Li Xiang break through their defense so easily.
"Since the Poles have no idea about me, should I take this opportunity to expand the results to the greatest extent?"
Li Xiang couldn't help but think deeply.
"Xi, what do you think?"
He really couldn't think of a reliable plan, so Li Xiang subconsciously asked Xi.
Xi quickly replied: "Your Majesty, this battle against Poland has just begun. The total strength of Poland is now about 800,000. The other half of the Polish army is stationed on the Polish-German border, especially the Polish corridor, which is defended by heavy troops, and others are scattered throughout the country. Most of the elite troops of Poland are stationed in the east to defend against the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union failed in the Warsaw Battle, Poland was afraid of defending the Soviet Union after more than a year of restoration and provoking a war of revenge.
Since the Allied Forces were stationed in Silesia and Danze, Poland, from the top to the ordinary people, it was generally believed that Germany dared not provoke wars now, so the army in the east was either ordinary garrison troops or miscellaneous troops, with weak combat effectiveness. In addition, Poland's transportation was underdeveloped, and it took a considerable time for the army to assemble and it was easy to defeat them one by one.
I suggest giving Poles a deep memory before the intervention of Britain and France."
"Okay, that's it!" Li Xiang decided to slap the table.
