In order to maintain the operation of the army, the German General Staff had a detailed supply plan. According to this plan, most of the materials in this plan need to be transported by railways.
Namur is one of the most important transfer stations on this supply line. Six railways meet here, and there is also a locomotive repair shop here. The locomotives entering and leaving the parking lot for inspection every day are more than double digits, and the dispatching station is located in the
There are hundreds of cars waiting to be organized all year round
It can be said that Namur is one of the most important components of the entire German war machine. If there is a problem, it is likely to lead to a chain reaction and even shut down the entire war machine.
Because of this, the German General Staff placed the headquarters of the Third Army, which was the reserve team as the headquarters of the right wing, and many of the army's troops were stationed around Namur, always guarding against the support of British naval guns to defend the coastal cities.
The raid of the remaining Belgian soldiers
One night in early November 1908, a train filled with wounded approached Namur and stopped at a small station only ten minutes away from the city to wait for the dispatch room of Namur station to be vacant.
There were only a few German soldiers standing guard at the small station, and rude laughter came from time to time in the brightly lit main house of the station.
At this time, the German army thought that victory was in sight, and they were lucky enough to even celebrate Christmas in Paris.
The soldiers were all thinking about trying the legendary French beauty after entering Paris, while the officers were fantasizing about the medal that was about to be worn on their chests.
No one thinks that the French can make any big waves, and the Chinese, those yellow-skinned little ones
What's scary about short men? The tall Germanic warriors will let them know what war is!
Of course, even if victory is in sight, the German army is still the disciplined German army. The German army is not likely to commit the things that the arrogant soldiers will commit. The station guards are so weak at this time. It is not the negligence of the Germans, but they have no special operations at all.
The German army, whether it was the lowest-level soldiers or the highest-level generals, never thought that the rear facilities might be attacked by well-trained and well-equipped small troops.
This is related to the military traditions of Europe and the entire Western world. Before the 19th century, the wars of European powers were limited, and the supply of troops was not so prominent. Even if the logistics supply was cut off, it could be solved by collecting grain on site, until France
When people attacked Russia, Russians used their trick of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, and then defeated Napoleon with the cooperation of General Dong. Before that, European military strategists rarely used their brains in logistics supply.
Of course, this is also related to the form of war. In the era of cold weapons, supplies were food, which was relatively easy to solve. This is just a strange Chinese girl who ordered 100,000 troops thousands of years ago, so the "three armies moved before they moved their food and grass before they could move first.
"The military norms of ", in contrast, Europeans' concepts in this regard are very weak
Entering the age of hot weapons, there was an ammunition consumption, but in the era of queuing and shooting, the ammunition carried by infantry themselves could almost be fought for the entire battle. Until the First World War, few European military strategists foresaw the future.
Ammunition consumption will increase geometrically in war
Simply put, whether it is Foch or Moltke, Farkinham, even Rudendolf did not realize how much impact the attack on the logistics system would have on the war.
This is actually not surprising. Most of the time, humans are so short-sighted. If Lin Youde had not been a cheater who had been worn back from the future, he would probably have no way to know before he had no experience to refer to.
But the problem is that Lin Youde is a plug-in man who has traveled back from time to time. The concept of special operations has penetrated into his heart. The elite small army is his favorite scene.
He had long established a series of units aimed at special operations and developed various expensive guidance equipment to distribute them
…
For example, the optical fan Luo, who is called "ghost clothes" by the soldiers
It is this camouflage that made several Phantom Gods approach the lonely German patrol soldiers on the platform without knowing it
After the silent killing, the Phantom lifted the invisibility and made several gestures to the bushes behind him. As the German army also equipped certain radio equipment, the infiltration of ecoas troops took radio silence just in case.
The next moment, a row of ghosts emerged from the bushes. They jumped onto the train with their agility, climbed onto the roof in a few seconds and hid, and did not disturb the wounded and nurses in the carriage.
At this moment, the train seemed to have received an order from the Namur Army Transportation Command. A drum of steam spewed out of the front of the car, pulling the carriage and slowly moving forward.
No German found that there were already a group of uninvited passengers on the train
Ten minutes later, the train entered Namur Station
A large number of German soldiers and captured Belgian laborers rushed up and began to transfer the wounded on the train.
The ghosts lurking on the roof of the car with optical camouflage also began to act
A team jumped off the rails and used the cover of the train body to touch the supply stack at the end of the platform. Another team climbed directly onto the overpass across the railway and touched the patrol post on the overpass with neat movements.
The troops headquarters set up on the station rang and touched them
The third team was lying on the roof. When the Germans finished transporting the wounded and started the train again, the team unknowingly sneaked into the train dispatching yard of Namur and parked in the dispatching yard.
The car wagon and front of the car waiting to be marshalled are the targets of this team
When the Germans took the water pipes and began to flush the blood and other stains left by the wounded on the car skin, the team started to operate.
However, the accident also happened at this time.
A German officer heard the movement and pulled out his pistol and shouted at the darkness: "Who is there!"
The performance of optical camouflage is actually quite outstanding. The German officer is obviously not sure if he really heard something. He just used the rigid characteristics of the Germans to decide to shout.
But at this time, Foch's concern about lack of experience was exposed.
A corporal from the third team did not calm down and fired. Although he grabbed the muffler and the bullet hit the German officer's heart accurately. Although the other team members immediately opened fire and killed other German soldiers who were washing the car, the German officer fell to the ground.
At the same time, the natural contraction of his hand muscles still pulled the trigger of the Mauser military pistol
The gunshots were particularly loud in the night
The German army showed their high discipline. Several searchlights on the station immediately called here at the same time. The sudden strong light caused temporary fluctuations in the effect of the optical camouflage. A German sergeant next to the searchlight discovered it.
question
He shouted in German, and then the bullet shot was swept to the ground
The submachine gun accurately shot and instantly wiped out all the searchlights. The captain of the third team broke the radio silence for the first time: "We were discovered, so we will make a big fuss as much as possible, attracting the Germans' attention here.
"As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of his squad threw out grenades, and the explosion completely alarmed the entire station
"Take off the muffler" The captain turned off the radio and shouted to his soldiers, "Use the night to fight each other, the first goal is to destroy all kinds of fronts of the car!"
As the alarm sounded throughout the night sky, the second team had reached a location where only one building was away from the German Army Transportation Command.
"There's no time" the captain said to his subordinates, "slide directly", so more than a dozen flying spears were shot above the window of the building where the troop transport headquarters was located.
The captain took the lead in removing the optical camouflage. This was to prevent accidental injury during the assault... Then he hung the hook onto the cable, and slid over with his legs kicked.
The captain broke into the window and entered the Germans in the headquarters opened their mouths wide and stood there, so the captain chose the one who looked the biggest and pulled the trigger.
…
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers broke into the window, and the sound of the silence of the weapons was endless.
The bullets swept over the Germans, smashed the telephone and made the transportation dispatch plan full of each desk into a white Tiannv Hua
Only then did the Germans remember to lie down and hide
A colonel pulled out his gun and overturned the table as a cover, his movements were full of the style of the last time-space gangster film - unfortunately, the wooden table obviously could not block the bullets of the submachine gun.
What's more, the commandos of Ecoas also have grenades. Lin Youde passed on the experience of the indoor war obtained from playing games in the last time and space to the soldiers of Ecoas: shooting guns against the sky board.
The almost vertical fragmented rain from top to bottom instantly took the lives of the last few German staff members in the headquarters. Only then did the guards react and knocked open the two thick project gates of the headquarters and rushed in.
Just then, the soldiers of the Ecoas finished shooting the magazines. The soldier closest to the door quickly took out his pistol and shot several times, and knocked the German to the ground.
"Incendiary Bomb!" the captain yelled
So several incendiary bombs were thrown on the largest piles of documents in the house. The fire that soared into the sky rose into the sky, licking the chandelier on the sky board.
"Retreat!" The captain gave the order, and the soldiers turned out the window and activated the optical camouflage
As early as when Lin Youde's fleet was replenishing supplies in Cairo, the intelligence agency sent a floor plan of Namur. The troops participating in the attack had already studied the path of retreat, so they quickly turned into pieces and sank into the cover of night.
Almost at the same time, a terrifying explosion came from the direction of the ammunition depot, and a huge fireball rushed into the sky, illuminating most of the night sky like daylight.
There were also explosions in the direction of the dispatching site, and the fierce shooting sound was like firecrackers during the Spring Festival.
The fire in Namur lasted for three days. When the Germans cleared the fire, no more than a thousand bodies were found. The dozens of locomotives parked in Namur that night were all reimbursed, and hundreds of car skins were burned almost the same.
It's
What's even more terrible is that the troop transport command was annihilated, and the Germans suddenly found that they could not find a consultant who knew the complete dispatch plan.
