Commander Gu Tian used his binoculars to look at the somewhat loosely defended small town in front of him. He always felt that something was wrong with this situation.
General of the German Federation, has he read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
Their approach looks more and more like an empty city strategy.
It's just that they haven't been able to figure out whether this small town is really an empty city or a disguise of a German federal general.
Commander Gu Tian put down his telescope and looked at the ticking telegraph machine next to him.
The three armies of the Imperial Royal Army jointly operated, and the military telegraph codes were also unified.
The orders issued by telegrams from the other two parties can be received here and recorded by special personnel.
There are dedicated staff members to collect the progress of the other two armies and report to Gu Tian.
The Royal Army cooperates with each other on the battlefield and prevents them from inadvertently injuring friendly forces.
Gu Tian read the short report sent by his staff again.
In the southern battlefield, the army under the command of Commander Lu Chenyang officially launched an attack on the fortresses of the Kingdom of France.
The naval guns supported by the Royal Navy are extremely powerful. They are completely crushed against European artillery that has a very short range and is almost obsolete.
Gu Tian predicted that the French Kingdom's defenders would collapse sooner or later.
In the northern battlefield, the army under the command of Commander Bai Yuangui has achieved a phased victory.
Commander Bai Yuangui directly used napalm bombs to attack the enemies hiding in the trenches.
This method of attack is cruel but extremely effective.
The defenders who fought extremely bravely on the German positions were all roasted by the Royal Army.
Commander Gu Tian has long known that there are neither noble nor despicable methods of war.
As long as you can win, no matter how despicable the means are, you will be forgotten by the world.
There should be no mercy when dealing with enemies.
Compassion is to treat relatives and friends, pity the enemy, and your comrades will suffer casualties.
After Gu Tian finished reading the latest battle report, he couldn't sit in the tent and wait.
If they delay any longer, they will surely be laughed at by their friendly forces.
Especially Bai Yuangui's department, they have to deal with the German army in the northern theater and cannot stay in the theater to wait.
They must send their troops south to snatch the fruits that belong to them.
They must not continue to delay, otherwise they will lose the opportunity to earn military merit.
Now or never.
If they miss this opportunity, their future promotions will have to rely on seniority.
Even with such poor qualifications, the hope of further promotion in the future is extremely slim.
Gu Tian could only bite the bullet and head to the headquarters where Commander Wu Ming was.
Under normal circumstances, he would not interfere with Commander Wu Ming's decision.
The 19th Army is now far away from the headquarters. As the commander of the 25th Army, his status is too sensitive.
If you raise objections to the decision made by Commander Wu Ming.
He will give the outside world the impression that he is not easy to get along with and likes to contradict superiors.
But at this critical moment, Gu Tian couldn't bear it anymore.
He didn't know why Commander Wu Ming was not in a hurry at this time.
Commander Gu Tian came outside the headquarters and asked the guards to inform Commander Wu Ming.
There are too many military secrets in the headquarters, and it is impossible for him to go directly to the headquarters without being notified.
When Commander Wu Ming saw Gu Tian begging for a meeting, he asked the guards to notify Gu Tian to come in.
He smiled and said to the person next to him: "Commander Gu Tian is impatient, but he has made some progress.
I thought that at the beginning of the war, he would not be able to help but come to me.
Unexpectedly, today has already passed, and both Commander Lu Chenyang and Commander Bai Yuangui have made decisive progress.
Commander Gu Tian couldn't help it anymore and wanted to ask us to attack."
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi nodded and said: "The sun is about to set now, and we certainly cannot launch an attack on the enemy during this period.
There is basically no night blindness in our army, and our soldiers are also good at night fighting.
But we are the attacking party after all, and we have many favorable conditions.
There are also artillery regiments and other assistance during the day, which can stabilize the strength of the army.
If you attack at night, the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly reduced, casualties will inevitably increase, and unexpected situations may occur.
This approach is definitely not advisable.”
Commander Gu Tian approached the headquarters and saw that there were many people busy here, especially beside the dozen wireless telegraph machines, there were several confidential staff officers, paying close attention to the telegrams received by the correspondents.
He saw Commander Wu Ming and others discussing matters in front of the sand table.
He knew that the army did not launch an attack on the German Federation as scheduled.
This must be an unexpected situation that he didn't understand.
In addition, there will be no delay in issuing the order to start the war when everything is ready.
Commander Gu Tian immediately stepped forward and saluted Commander Wu Ming with a standard military salute.
He asked in a slightly anxious voice: "Commander Wu, the sun is almost setting. When will our army launch an attack on the enemy?"
Could it be that our army is preparing to launch a surprise attack at night? We need to notify the army in advance so that we can make adequate preparations."
Commander Wu Ming responded with a smile: "Commander Gu, don't be too anxious. When everything is ready, you will naturally launch an attack on the German Federation."
After testing, Commander Gu Tian found that he would not launch an attack tonight.
When he learned about this situation, he said aggrievedly: "Commander Wu, this is the attack time that we have jointly set with the other two parties.
Going back on your word will have a considerable impact on the credibility of both you and our army.
Besides, the soldiers all knew that today they would launch a general attack on the enemy.
Canceling the attack order without reason will cause a huge blow to the morale of the army.
The soldiers also felt frustrated that they were being treated like monkeys."
When Commander Wu Ming heard what Commander Gu Tian said, he laughed and scolded: "You are a newly transferred member of the 25th Army. It's true that the two of us have had too little time to get along. You don't understand my character.
But you should have faith in the ability of an Imperial Royal Army Commander.
There is indeed a reason for this situation, and I don’t know under what circumstances it can be resolved.
Let Chief of Staff He introduce the specific situation to you to save you from thinking too much."
Commander Gu Tian looked at Chief of Staff He Guangzhi with expectant eyes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He still looked aggrieved. Why didn't anyone notify him as the commander of such a big thing?
When his subordinates came to inquire about the situation, he could not give any reason and could only drive them away with a strong attitude.
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi said happily: "This matter is a long story, so I will make it short.
Our army uses wireless telegraphs, this epoch-making machine, to communicate over long distances.
We all know the powerful role of wireless telegraph machines on the battlefield.
It is impossible for Europe, which has fought against us many times, not to know this kind of thing.
They obtained a small number of wireless telegraph machines through various means.
However, because they did not understand the use of telegraph machines and the encryption methods of telegrams, and were afraid that the contents of the telegrams would be known to us, they have never used these wireless telegraph machines.
Because the European countries were defeated too suddenly this time, only two countries, the German Federation and the Kingdom of France, were left.
When they face heavy siege, timely communication is extremely important.
They also figured out how to use wireless telegraph machines.
Now, both the German Federation and the Kingdom of France are being monitored for strange radio waves.
The General Staff recently discovered this situation and immediately deciphered this unfamiliar telegram.
Now it has been preliminarily deciphered, and it is indeed a telegram from the German Federation to dispatch troops.
Our army is now collecting more telegram information.
After you are sure to forge good information, use fake telegrams to deceive the enemy.
Before taking action, we must hide our strength and let the German Federation know that we are just a partial army."
After Commander Gu Tian heard this, he couldn't understand the cause and effect of this matter.
He shook his head and asked: "I want to know now how long our 25th Army has to wait before we can launch an attack on the weak enemy on the opposite side."
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi said proudly: "We have forged the telegram and are just waiting to surprise the Germans.
But there are still some details and passwords that need to be confirmed again.
Commander Bai Yuangui fought fiercely this time. The center of the German Federation must have high-frequency communication with the front line.
There were very few telegrams intercepted before, so it was difficult to compare them to find effective information.
Now that the size of the intercepted telegrams has increased, the secrets within them will soon be deciphered.
I predict that we will be able to attack the enemy normally tomorrow."
Commander Wu Ming added from the side: "There is one more thing we need to confirm via telegram.
The situation of the German army on the opposite side, as we have learned before, is completely different with the strict discipline of the German army.
In the end, it was an empty city plan with a trap behind it.
Or is it that the German army is really too weak and a soft persimmon?
There should be detailed information about this situation tomorrow."
When Commander Gu Tian heard this, he already understood what Commander Wu Ming meant. If nothing unexpected happened, they would launch an attack tomorrow.
When he learned about this situation, the reason for coming to the headquarters was solved.
Commander Gu Tian saluted with a military salute and said respectfully: "I am going to calm down the situation at the grassroots level now."
At a fast pace, he left the headquarters and went to various grassroots units to explain the reasons and encourage them.
Let the grassroots troops continue to maintain strong morale.
After Commander Wu Ming saw Gu Tian leaving, he smiled and said, "He is an impatient man.
The General Staff accelerated the deciphering of the German Confederation's telegram code.
Our telegraph expert, for a force like the German Federation that is new to telegraph, I set the password, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to crack."
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi immediately assured: "I just went to check the progress, and the deciphering was successful tonight, so it shouldn't be difficult.
The cipher used by Germany simply misplaced letters.
They added a few more code words in the telegram to confirm their identity."
Commander Wu Ming was very happy after hearing this. He said helplessly: "Our army is still too weak. We use this strategy to weaken the enemy's strength.
If I had the strength of Commander Lu Chenyang now, I could push through without having to consider so many complicated tactics.
If you don't have enough strength and still don't think of a solution, then you will really become a stupid pig."
Commander Wu Ming regretted a little. If he had known that the three parties would conduct a joint operation, he would not have chosen to divide his forces.
If you have one more army in hand, you don't have to worry about losing too much of your army, which will lead to your inability to succeed.
…………………………
July 15th, three o'clock in the morning.
Commander Wu Ming was shaken awake by Chief of Staff He Guangzhi with red eyes.
"Commander Wu, the experts from the General Staff have completely deciphered the code of the German Federation's external contacts.
We can now understand all the movements of the German Federation, and we can also forge orders from the German Federation’s center to achieve our army’s goals.”
Commander Wu Ming drank a cup of tea to keep his brain awake.
Important decisions should never be made in a hazy state.
Commander Wu Ming first looked at the accumulated telegrams from the German Federation.
After reading it, he felt humiliated.
He slapped the table with his hand and said angrily: "I was delayed for more than a month by such a weak country.
Looking back now, I am really angry and my liver hurts.
If my character were more reckless, I would not have the military merits of Germany compared to Bai Yuangui."
After Commander Wu Ming read the telegram, he was extremely heartbroken. He had never been so heartbroken.
The German Confederation has become a terminally ill country.
From these telegrams, he saw a dazzling situation.
The German Federation wants to recruit 100,000 people and train them into the Wehrmacht.
Without the collapse of the country, they only recruited more than 40,000 people, but they were unable to recruit qualified soldiers.
Commander Wu Ming sighed and said: "Germany is a small country that is united by several powerful German factions.
This country has experienced more than thirty years of war and has not yet recovered.
Germany's youth population is already small, and a large number of them were coerced and coerced by the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire to join the European Allied Forces.
The European Allied Forces were captured in one fell swoop by Commander Lu Chenyang, and most of them became prisoners.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The German Federation suddenly lost hundreds of thousands of young people, and the originally sparsely populated country had its backbone broken.
The German Federation no longer has the ability to defend the entire city and can only use its troops to defend key cities.
The German Federation is now extremely short of troops, and in some areas, they have already sent female soldiers to the battlefield."
Commander Wu Ming laughed at himself: "I have been too cautious in my life, but I didn't expect that in the end, I almost made a big mistake because of my caution.
Immediately give orders to Gu Jun to launch a fierce attack on the German Federation.
We are now behind Commander Bai Yuangui and must catch up."
Chief of Staff He Guangzhi also slapped the table and said: "In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to make any strategies.
The strength of our army can completely rival that of the German Federation.
Before we started the war, we were worried about this and that.
The performance of the German troops among the European Allies completely overwhelmed us.
Now it seems that the German Federation is handing over all its elites to the European Allies."
When Commander Gu Tian received the order, he was a little surprised. Commander Wu Ming didn't expect so many changes.
He excitedly gave the order to beat the drums and let the 25th Army launch the attack.
The majestic Royal Army launched a fierce attack into the territory of the German Federation.
The outcome of the war shocked everyone.
The fighting will of the German Federal Army was unexpectedly poor.
They suffered only a few casualties and immediately surrendered.
Gu Tian was a little confused when he saw this situation. It was completely different from the Germans in his impression.
He was relieved then, who are they? They are the Royal Army of the Great China Empire.
They were fully armed against the army of a small European country. Failure was the big news, and victory was natural.
