Almost all the senior officers were kicked out by Guderian. When only he, his adjutant and a few communications staff were left in the tent, Guderian showed a tired look and sat on a folding chair with his right hand He tapped the table and said to the adjutant while pondering: "They should still be those Chinese people. Please contact Gaidag again to confirm the news. These flies must be eliminated as soon as possible."
The adjutant followed the order and walked towards the communication area. Guderian's eyes were roaming back and forth on the map in front of him, and then he stared at the inconspicuous small place of Big Ula and said to himself: "Is it elite troop harassment tactics? It seems that I still We underestimated the strength of the Chinese people.”
In this time and space, the so-called special forces and special forces are just a vague concept compared to most countries in the world. Of course, although there is no clear classification as in later generations, behemoth military giants like the German Wehrmacht certainly cannot There may not be a similar organization, just because German officers have a unique understanding of military honor. For example, they feel that as a soldier, wearing the military uniform of a hostile country is a desecration of their own military uniform, and because of their relationship with the SS, they I particularly hate irregular troops, so special tactics did not develop smoothly in Germany, at least they did not receive the support of the Supreme Command. This restricted the development of German special forces to a certain extent, and also caused the vast majority of German officers to fail to recognize Clear the role of special forces,
Among these people, Guderian and Manstein are exceptions. When talking about the German special forces at this time, you have to mention the Brandenburg Force, and when talking about the Brandenburg Force, you have to mention Paul Von Leitwerker and his former subordinate Theodor von Sipple, because it was because of these two people that the Brandenburg Army was established and was able to cooperate with the Army's blitz tactics. Gudry Ann and Manstein noted,
The establishment of the Brandenburg Army was not affected by the butterfly effect. It was still established in 1939. The initial size was only one battalion, and it was a voluntary force. However, as it played a role in the Polish strategy, "conventional forces cannot "Substitutive role" and immediately became a blockbuster in the Western Front offensive, and then entered the sight of Manstein and Guderian and was valued by them.
The Second Armored Group is equipped with a battle group of Brandenburg troops, which is about one battalion in size. What is special is that the soldiers of this company not only have far superior tactical literacy than ordinary people, but also can speak standard Russian and can To "spit like a Russian",
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. After hearing Guderian mention the elite troops, the adjutant asked wisely: "Your Excellency, would you like to ask Major Shipum to come over?"
Guderian thought for a while and then said: "Call him over and ask him to send a small team to Big Ula to have a look. If the attackers in Big Ula are really elite Chinese troops, Gaidag may not be able to attack Big Ula. Annihilate them."
The adjutant responded and walked out. Soon, he appeared in front of Guderian with a major officer who was about 27 or 28 years old.
Seeing this particularly upright major, Guderian's expression became much gentler and he said, "Sipum, Gein has told you everything about the situation."
"yes."
"I'm worried that Gedag may not be able to annihilate all the Chinese, and our supply depot in the rear cannot suffer any more losses, so your task is to annihilate all the Chinese. Even if you cannot annihilate them all for the time being, please be sure to keep the rest of the Chinese people. Can the safety of the supply depot be achieved?"
"Yes." Xipumu cherished every word like gold and kept the same word.
"Okay, then I'll just wait for the good news."
Shipum paid a military salute to Guderian and then strode out.
About ten minutes later, less than a hundred meters behind Guderian’s command tent, Shipum said to a group of soldiers who had been summoned urgently: “…the Chinese can carry one of our soldiers with a company of troops. Regiment, and is still capable of making trouble in our logistics line, there is no doubt that it is Langya. Gentlemen, haven't you always clamored to learn Langya? Now the opportunity has come... Bugel, I don't doubt it. You can annihilate all the Chinese Wolf Fangs, but I hope you can bring everyone back safely, do you understand what I mean?" Xipumu, who cherished his words like gold in front of Guderian, was like a nagging in front of his subordinates. Old woman, because he attaches too much importance to the confrontation with Lang Ya,
Guderian had actually heard of the famous name of Chinese Langya, but compared to Xipumu, Guderian knew too little. It was precisely because he knew a lot about Langya that Xipumu paid special attention to it. This operation, and even wanted to let the world know the Brandenburg troops again through this battle, our Brandenburgs are by no means worse than the Chinese Wolf Fangs,
While Shipum was talking about Langya, the real Langya was on his way to Petrobapur in a flying fortress under the leadership of Xiao Yi, and coincidentally, they were also talking about Branden Xiao Yi proposed that the Fort troops fly directly from Chongqing to Petrobapur. Because Petrobapur was already occupied by the German army at this time, when he first proposed this proposal, he was opposed by the Supreme Command. Now The size of the Wolf Fang has expanded to the size of a division, and if you include the Unity Brigade, the Taiwan Special Forces Brigade and other special forces, the size of China's special forces is actually nearly the size of a Type B Army, which is nearly 20,000 people. , the concept of "rare people are valuable" no longer exists at this scale, but Ouyang Yun is still favored and unwilling to sacrifice one of them easily.
However, because Xiao Yi proposed that he would have full command and full responsibility, Ouyang Yun finally agreed to the plan.
The advantage of flying direct from Chongqing to Petrobapur is real, that is, you can reach the action area as quickly as possible, and then you can launch the rescue operation as quickly as possible. This is great for those who are interested in directing a Chinese version of "Saving Private Soldiers". For Ouyang Yun of the "En" operation, his thoughts were actually right. After all, time is the most important thing in the rescue operation. If the special operations team paid a bloody sacrifice, they would only find Zhang Xuyun's body or tomb in the end. That would be too unbeautiful,
A straight-line distance of nearly 4,000 kilometers, and at the Sky Fortress's cruising speed of 500 per hour, it will take nearly eight hours to fly. Sitting for eight hours is not a good thing for special forces who can stay in a cesspit for three or four days. It's not difficult, but because they will face a brand new enemy, and it is an enemy with the reputation of the world's strongest army, so even Xiao Yi, who has become a general, is eager to try, but he can't help himself.
