Chapter 1624 No one understands the Allies better than me
Chapter 1624 No one knows the Allies better than me
"Hello? I'm Enschel, what? Which Enschel? Damn it, Enschel from the 101st Heavy Armor Battalion! What happened? Why did the British plane fly over our heads!?"
"Hey!? Hey, talk! Can you hear me? Say...damn it! The phone line is down!"
Not only Wittmann saw the strange situation, many people in the 101st Heavy Armor Battalion also saw that the painting of the aircraft was not the Luftwaffe, but the British John Bull aircraft opposite!
The British plane passed overhead early in the morning?
This joke is too scary!
Although the plane just flashed by, the target was obviously not in this village. In such a short moment, these armored soldiers did not know what model the British plane was and what it was used for. But such a sensitive time point
It's not a good thing after all if a British plane flies overhead.
The burning Enschel immediately rushed to his headquarters and picked up the phone to ask, but he did not expect that the voice on the other end of the phone was chaos and anxiety. Before he could ask the reason, the phone was disconnected, and there was no more calls.
The only message left was a furious Enschel who threw the phone away.
"Any ideas? What do you think?"
Enschel was seeking Wittmann's opinion. Things had reached this point and it seemed that there could only be one outcome.
"Those Allied forces are calling over. This can only be explained. The phone was interrupted and there was a British plane overhead. Do you think there is any other possibility?"
"...."
Wittmann's thoughts were consistent with Enschel's. This ominous sign would not lead to good results, so we can only judge it this way.
"No, we can't go on like this. If we continue like this, we'll just sit there and wait for death. We have to take action! Wittmann."
"Action? Have you forgotten our order? How should we act now?"
With a wry smile on his face, Wittmann spread his hands, saying that their camp could not go anywhere without a clear order.
"The group of people above don't even have a clear idea whether they are beachhead defense or pushing the enemy deep into the ground before attacking. Do our battalions command themselves? We don't even know where we are going! We'd better contact our superiors first to find out the situation. You
If you think there is no problem, I will organize the troops, and you can find a way to get in touch and find out the situation, okay?"
Whether it worked or not, there was no other better way. Enschel, who needed some time to sort out the situation, immediately nodded to Wittmann.
"Refuel, reload and prepare to depart. I estimate that we will receive the order soon. Be ready for action at any time and wait for my news."
"knew."
That is to say, when the two brothers Wittmann and Enschel were busy organizing their troops and preparing to set off for the war, in a heavily guarded German command headquarters hundreds of kilometers away in a straight line, the legendary Wehrmacht general who was trusted by the Führer
Erwin Rommel was holding the microphone in his hand and loudly confirming at the other end of the phone.
"The main landing site is Normandy, yes! The prior judgment was wrong! The enemy has invested a large amount of troops in Normandy, several sub-landing sites have been deployed, and we have received multiple news of attacks at the same time! My opinion is to send reinforcements immediately. We must
Drive the enemy overboard before they gain a foothold! I request the armored forces be mobilized now, immediately!"
The crisp military uniform was spotlessly clean and handsome, but at this moment, Rommel was completely without his usual graceful demeanor and calm expression, and even the confidence that often hung on his face in the past was gone.
Rommel now looks more like an employee who was a little too frightened but knew he had to hurry up and get into trouble. The reason is not that complicated, it is quite simple.
Rommel had just boasted to Guderian, who came to inspect him a while ago, that if he were the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, he would definitely choose the landing site near Calais, not Normandy as Guderian thought.
Rommel always had an indescribable and mysterious confidence in his attitude towards Guderian.
Rommel didn't think Guderian's popular title of "Father of German Armored Forces" was that great. In Rommel's eyes, Guderian was just an "Eastern Front Country bumpkin" who dealt with Russian morons all day long. He was worried about what was about to happen.
Facing the enemy's specific situation without knowing anything, and still looking at the Allies with the same system of examining and judging the Russians, it is extremely stupid.
When it comes to dealing with the Americans and the British, I am the one who is familiar with their temperaments, knows the urinary nature of these Allied forces, and is the one who can control the context of my opponents.
Rommel even confidently asserted that the Allied forces' large-scale two-phase landing operation would have to wait until at least June. A lot of intelligence showed that the British lacked enough transport ships to send troops across the strait.
The Americans are currently fighting fiercely with the Japanese band-legged monkeys in the Pacific, and cannot spare much fleet to support the Western Front. The Allies will need some time to accumulate enough ships.
But now, the sudden cruel fact gave Rommel a great shock.
The real landing place was not Calais as he had earlier asserted, but in Normandy. Guderian was the one who really judged the situation correctly. This made Longmei, who had previously boasted about Haikou and looked down upon this "Eastern Front Country bumpkin",
Well, my face really felt hot, as if I had been slapped in the face.
But losing face was not the main problem. The main problem was that Rommel also placed many of his main armored units closer to Calais. This was when he met the head of state in person and claimed that he was the one who grasped the truth.
Man, Rundstedt was a sour man who sat in his office studying maps all day long. He didn't understand the Allied results at all.
If Rundstedt hadn't slapped the table and quarreled with him in the head of state's office and strongly opposed it, Rommel would have even wanted to place the armored troops in the beachhead defense area and deploy them forward to drive away these idiots once the Allied forces began to land.
Go to the sea.
Rundstedt pointed at Rommel's nose and cursed, "Do you think the enemy's planes are all seagulls? Or do you think the naval guns are all chimneys? Stupid!".
This matter ultimately ended in peace with the Führer. At the same time, the opinions of Rundstedt and Rommel were adopted, and each of them lost a few armored divisions to complete the matter according to their own ideas. However, Rommel was not approved.
The radical beachhead deployment plan only allowed him to put the armored units in a position "capable of rapid support" and make decisions based on the development of the war situation.
There is a saying that when it comes to dealing with the Allied landings, Rommel’s various comments and predictions are indeed quite "knowing kings". He is very much like a certain big shot in the 21st century in later generations, and he almost said "No one"
Knows the Allies better than I do”.
Now, Rommel must pay the price for his earlier words and deeds and make up for his mistakes.
There is also good news among so much bad news. For example, compared with the existing history, in this new timeline that has been changed by the butterfly effect instigated by Malashenko. In the face of this May
Rommel, who landed in Normandy, had not had time to wait until June to go home to celebrate his wife's birthday. He was still on the front line and on standby. This is probably the only good news at the moment.
It's just that Rommel himself didn't know about the historical changes.
