The first thousand and eighty-four chapters say surrender
All military historians have actually forgotten the most important point when studying this period of war history, which is Zhang Tianqi's wit, bravery and superb acting skills.
It was a great shame for Guderian, because when Zhang Tianqi walked toward him, he didn't notice anything unusual, and he cooperated very well and let the other person stand less than one meter in front of him.
A distance of one meter means everything is possible for a warrior of Zhang Tianqi's level. So, when Zhang Tianqi grabbed Guderian's armed belt with one hand and pressed the pistol against his spine with the other, , Guderian and many of his subordinates did not realize what happened at the first time.
"Put down your weapons and raise your hands, if you don't want anything to happen to your commander." It was Zhang Tianqi who broke the deathly silence. At this time, the Germans, including Guderian, were all in a state of brain short circuit.
For Guderian, this was destined to be an unforgettable experience. What made him wonder when he thought about it afterwards was that after waking up from the initial shock, he actually behaved extremely calmly. Yes, after knowing that he had been kidnapped There was no fear in his heart at all, but he ordered his men to fire extremely calmly. He had been studying the front-line battles for the past few days, and he had a considerable understanding of the front-line battle conditions. Therefore, Guderian knew clearly that, let alone the Second Armored Group Army, If something unexpected happens, such as being ambushed or severely damaged, and they cannot rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible, it will be disastrous for Army Group A.
Perhaps he thought that the Second Armored Group's delay in showing up on the battlefield was waiting for a better opportunity or even to gain greater merit. The telegrams sent by Manstein since yesterday did not conceal the situation on the front line at all. Stein showed full sincerity. Guderian had no intention of holding it, so he naturally no longer held back. Through the radio waves, he obtained more relevant information from Manstein. The intelligence of the Chinese Far East Expeditionary Force, and the more he learned about China's opponents, the more Guderian was able to appreciate the difficulties on the front line. He originally thought that Army Group A was blocked by Osa and Sabi just by chance, and the Russians returned to their former glory. They were not familiar with the combat methods of this new opponent, the Chinese army. Now he knew that it was not that Army Group A was ineffective, but that the opponent was too powerful.
This was the first time in Guderian's military career that he admitted that his opponent was stronger than him. His own prestige was undermined by others' ambitions. This was by no means the attitude that a famous general should have before a battle, but Guderian could no longer care about this. Details are down. The experience of the Imperial Division has proven that the Chinese must not be underestimated. Now Manstein has provided detailed information and intelligence. Although he still does not fully understand the performance and usage of weapons such as helicopters and advanced destroyers, But when I think about the horror of V2 rockets, and when I think about the fact that China always has such a missile force equipped with even more than V2 rockets, it is aimed at itself somewhere, how dare Guderian take the slightest carelessness.
It was an absolute irony when he thought about it. As soon as he had strengthened the defense of the headquarters due to the death of Yamamoto Isoroku, the Chinese had infiltrated him on the back. What made him even feel ridiculous was that he was now a prisoner of the Chinese.
Of course, this is no longer important to Guderian. As a world-renowned general and the founder of blitz warfare tactics, even if a gun and ax are added to his body, his vision will not be limited to his own safety. "It doesn't matter if you die. This must not cause the troops to lose their fighting spirit or even be hijacked, then the worst and best result is..." With his mind made up, Guderian became calmer and calmer, and couldn't help shouting fiercely when he found that his men were still confused. : "Didn't you hear my order? Fire, fire at me."
In this case, Guderian's performance was definitely excellent, but since he failed to prevent the enemy from approaching him and hijacking him, what's the use of his good performance now.
Zhang Tianqi understands German and is not a fool. Seeing that Guderian went out of his way to issue such an order, he knocked him out with a sharp palm, then put his pistol directly on Guderian's head and said: "Can't you hear me?" My word is that, put down your weapons."
A flare rose into the sky and exploded with a burst of light. Zhang Tianqi's eyes first stared at the German major closest to him. Under his cold gaze, the major swallowed hard. There was a lot of saliva, and then he dropped the pistol at his feet in despair.
Zhang Tianqi's eyes were very sharp. From the corner of his eye, he saw a German officer about thirty meters to his left sneakily hiding behind several German soldiers and pointing his gun at him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly opened his eyes. The military uniform on the body.
A row of plastic bombs were neatly tied to his chest and abdomen. Even though not all the German officers and soldiers present knew what the rectangular thing was, the exposed detonator fuse could not be faked, indicating that the thing was a bomb.
"You may shoot, but your commander will be buried with me." Zhang Tianqi said loudly, suddenly pulling out Guderian's armed belt, and then connected him with his own armed belt.
The German officer hesitated. Although he was brave, he did not have the courage to take the responsibility of killing Guderian. It would not only be a matter of going to a military court, but might also be nailed to the pillar of historical shame.
"Put down your weapons." Zhang Tianqi suddenly opened fire, hitting the right hand of a German colonel who was only about ten meters away from him. Then, he quickly lifted Guderian in front of him and said: "We are all soldiers. When Understand the meaning of the profession of a soldier. Gentlemen, it is not that you are not brave enough or stupid enough. The current situation is that your commander has been captured by me. Therefore, as a real soldier, you should know that no matter what you do next, in fact It has lost its meaning, or you will think that there are only a few of us, haha, I might as well tell you that as long as I press this button now, countless missiles will fly from hundreds of kilometers away, oh, you That thing is a rocket, you all know the V2 rocket, right? Now you know our true purpose, we are here to provide target guidance for our rocket force..."
Ever since the major was forced to put down his gun by Zhang Tianqi, the Germans began to put down their guns one after another. After Zhang Tianqi said these words, even those who were still hesitant at first started to put down their guns.
In the Second Armored Group Army, perhaps the German soldiers in the general combat units do not know what the V2 rocket is and what it means, but those present now are all under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters, and they all know more or less the function of the V2 rocket. existence and its destructive power, regardless of whether what Zhang Tianqi said was true or false, it was always true that Guderian was in his hands, and there was indeed no point in them continuing to fight.
