Chapter 57 Rommel: Want to race? Take me with you

Meng Tian said:

"Your Majesty, if we don't provide strong support of more than one million troops immediately!"

"Then the only option for France is surrender."

What Meng Tian meant was that now only Britain could save France.

But everyone knows that, regardless of whether the British ally is reliable or not.

Britain currently has only about 200,000 troops.

Even if you want to increase the number of troops, it doesn't mean that you can create an army of millions in just a few days.

Song.

Yue Fei looked at the situation on the sky screen and said with certainty:
"The situation in France is already very bad."

"The Germans could attack in any direction without any hindrance, and each direction would be deadly."

"The road ahead of the German armored division is now clear."

"They just need to march north with all their might."

"Whether it's attacking Paris or reaching the coast to encircle the main force of the British and French coalition forces?"

"These are all choices that can determine the outcome of a battle."

"But I guess the Germans will go to outflank the lowlands."

"The only variable is the process of reaching the destination quickly during the wild attack."

"Will the long and narrow supply route be cut off by the French army?"

"This variable depends on whether France has enough reserve teams in its own country and whether they are strong enough."

"It also depends on whether the support from other German troops is timely."

"Can you keep up with the intensity of this war?"

"But it is clear that the German army will desperately protect Guderian's supply route. It will be very difficult for France to cut off Guderian."

"At present, Guderian's attack is unstoppable."

"As long as the German army continues to provide strong support, the outcome of this war will be decided."

Canopy.

……

[On May 5, newly appointed British Prime Minister Churchill arrived in France and was stunned when he saw the war report.]

[Three million coalition troops, less than a week after the war started, it's already like this? ]

[When I was the god of war in the Dardanelles during World War I, I wasn't this upset! ]

[The UK also knows that it is time to stop! ]

[So on the one hand, he promised to fight to the end with his French allies. ]

[On the one hand, they collected ships in the country and prepared to withdraw their troops.]

[Of course, facing the millions of German troops rushing out of the Ardennes, France did not sit idly by. ]

[The French reserve Sixth Army is here, aiming for the Sedan Fortress! ]

[Once Sedan is captured, the German army will be cut off in half.]

【The French Sixth Army is coming. 】

【Then it was gone.】

[In one day, three divisions of the French Sixth Army were defeated and the army lost its combat effectiveness.]

[Guderian was not afraid of the French reserve troops at all and ordered: Speed ​​is the best flank. ]

[The throttle is welded, accelerate to the end! ]

Where did Guderian go?

[Towards the sea! ]

[Rommel also said: Want to race? Take me with you.]

【The Tour de France Tank Rally begins now! 】

[Here you can see Guderian's route map for the first week of the war. ]

【Walk out of the Ardennes Forest on May 5. 】

【On May 5, they crossed the Meuse River.】

[The rush will begin on May 5th. ]

[On May 5, after taking Montcornet, Guderian was asked to stop and wait for the follow-up infantry. He angrily scolded his superiors and was finally allowed to continue the march for 15 hours.]

[On May 5, the assault continued westward for 16 miles.]

[On May 5, the 17th Armored Division led by Charles de Gaulle was repelled and the second brake order was received.]

[On the same day, Guderian requested to resign.]

……

Song.

Yue Fei saw that Guderian was constantly given wrong orders by the rear commander and asked him to stop, which almost missed the opportunity to fight.

I was also a little anxious.

Yue Fei didn't know whether Germany was the righteous side or the evil side in World War II.

Just from a purely military perspective.

When the opportunity to achieve success in one fell swoop is presented before you.

If forced to stop due to orders from the rear.

It would be a shame to let millions of enemies go in vain!

Yue Fei couldn't help but think of his planned Northern Expedition.

I hope that my Northern Expedition will go smoothly, and I also hope that I can get more support from the court during the process.

But Yue Fei had a vague feeling of foreboding.

Because Yue Fei had recently heard rumors of peace talks.

And in the Han Dynasty.

I liked Guderian from the beginning and admired his quick advances and blitzkrieg.

When the battle seemed to be going well, the German high-ranking officers continued to drag their feet.

I was also a little anxious.

I couldn't help but curse the German rear headquarters.

“What a bunch of mediocre people!”

"Who is the head of this German headquarters? Can't he see it? The most important thing now is to speed up!"

"Not letting any British and French soldiers escape from the encirclement?"

"And asked Guderian to stop?"

"Does he know more about tanks and blitzkrieg than Guderian?"

After cursing, the angry Huo Shao took a breath.

Seeing Guderian on the sky, full of vigor and commanding the armored forces to advance, Huo Qubing couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Suddenly I felt that fighting a Hun was not interesting enough."

"Look at this later Guderian."

“He had the privilege of sitting in the front row when the historical drama was performed.”

"As a soldier, he was born at the right time."

Wei Qing, who was standing next to Huo Qubing, was more inclined to think from the perspective of the German headquarters.

After thinking about the deeper reasons.

Wei Qing said to Huo Qubing:

"In fact, the German army's overall strategy and tactical thinking are already very advanced."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to gain such a huge advantage in the first week of the war."

"But it is clear that the German command was ahead of its time and ahead of the curve."

“But it’s still not enough!”

"The results achieved by Guderian in actual combat clearly exceeded the expectations of the German command."

"During the period of changing tactical thinking, it is normal for some conflicts to arise between the rear headquarters and the front-line commanders."

"It depends on how they reconcile."

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who was standing aside, did not speak.

But listening to the ideas and analysis of his two favorite generals, his heart was filled with happiness.

Both of their opinions make sense and are correct, but they just think in different ways.

There are such twin walls of the empire.

The next war against the Huns is probably a sure win.

And now.

Liu Che concentrated on learning the war techniques of later generations on the celestial tent.

It should be useful soon.

In Liu Che's eyes, the Han army's arrow had already appeared on the Xiongnu map in front of him.

The main force led by Wei Qing advanced head-on with a magnificent formation and drove the Huns out of the south of the desert.

At the same time, the Huns were driven out of Mobei by Wei Qing.

The arrow representing Huo Qubing had already struck the Xiongnu royal court.

A huge encirclement network spans the entire grassland!

The big man's blitzkrieg!
Destroy the Huns in one battle!
