Beiyang 1917

() Rommel's talent is actually highly appreciated by the scoring captain, Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt, and there has been a long history of disagreement between him and Captain von Manstein. Speaking of which, Rommel and Jun The relationship between Lieutenant T. Blumentritt should be more harmonious and sympathetic. After all, both Rommel and Blumentritt belonged to soldiers from bourgeois families without "von" in their names, while Blument Ritter had at least studied at the Berlin Staff Academy, and he was regarded as a junior student of the two commanders, von Lundstedt and von Manstein, the chief of staff.

And Captain Rommel, who only studied at the Danzig Military Academy in the Kingdom of Prussia, is obviously not a motley soldier who graduated from the Berlin General Staff Academy. Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt is a wise man and put him in the 29th Reserve Infantry Army as a staff officer. Rommel, an alternate officer, wanted to come over, and he was interested in Rommel's experience in commanding mountain battalions. As a 27-year-old battalion and company first-level commander, it is not a big deal to have won the second-class and first-class Iron Cross. The 21-year-old Günter Blumentritt also received such Iron Crosses 1914nd Class and 1916st Class in [-] and [-] respectively. ..

However, the blue Max Medal, which has won the highest honor symbol of the Germans, is quite extraordinary, especially the well-deserved blue Max Medal that Rommel obtained from the platoon, company, and mountain battalion. Captain Rommel, a field commander with extensive combat experience in the French battlefield on the western front and the Romanian battlefield on the eastern front, became von Rundstedt in just over two months at the end of July 1918. The lieutenant colonel's most trusted infantry commander.

If von Manstein is the best candidate for the chief of staff of a German aristocrat who came from a family of generals, then Captain Erwin Johannes Jurgen Rommel is the best candidate for the armored 1st detachment 2nd detachment. The best trump card candidate for Chengbazhai. ..

The sub-team leader of the Iron Armored Division 1 Detachment 2, von Rundstedt, was originally a very upright officer, and he came from a military family.His family's military career has spanned 850 years.His father was first a second lieutenant in the hussars and rose to the rank of major general.When the young Rundstedt graduated from the senior military academy in Grosslichfeld, he was sent to the No. 1892 Third Infantry Regiment stationed in Kassel in 80 as a trainee.A year later, he was promoted to second lieutenant at the age of 18.

In 1900, Rundstedt was promoted to lieutenant regiment adjutant, and three years later, he was sent to the military academy to study. In 1907, he was promoted to captain and transferred to the General Staff. Later, he was transferred to the company commander of the 20st Infantry Regiment. When the First World War broke out, he served as the staff officer of the No.1916 Second Division. In the autumn of [-], he was promoted to major and served as chief staff officer of an army in the Carpathians.

If Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt, who was originally a staff officer, wanted to choose an acting commander in the Iron Armor 2 Unit, he would choose Captain von Manstein, and he would choose a commander who would lead the troops into battle or break through the encirclement As an officer, the best candidate is undoubtedly Captain Rommel.

The 21-year-old personal adjutant Günter Blumentritt is of course the lieutenant colonel's true love. In von Rundstedt's view, his adjutant will never lose to von Mann in terms of bravery, loyalty and wisdom. Stein and Rommel, what is rare is that Blumentritter and Captain von Manstein and Captain Rommel can get along well.

"Erwin, don't you agree with Fritz's point of view?" Squad leader von Rundstedt asked with a slight frown. In fact, in the eyes of the lieutenant colonel, there is no reason for him to see it from Captain Rommel's point of view. You can't see that what Captain von Manstein said is probably the real reason why the coalition forces have changed their tactics. Could it be that Rommel intends to open his eyes and talk nonsense to question Captain Manstein for the sake of emotional conflict?

When the sub-captain opened his mouth, everyone present focused their attention on Rommel. Obviously, no matter what the lieutenant colonel's adjutant, Günter Blumentritter, said young and vigorously, at least the lieutenant colonel had accepted Feng In Captain Manstein's view, the Allied forces changed their tactics, like taking Kharkov in one go, not because the strength of the opponent's reinforcements increased after the arrival, but because the opponent's strength was weak.

"I don't disagree with Captain von Manstein's point of view, but in my opinion, the enemies facing Kharkov have not really changed their style of play. They want to win Kharkov instead of besieging the city. The reason is that The opponent refused to further lengthen the logistical support line of the detour troops. Kharkov is located in the area where several large rivers meet, surrounded by forests and swamps. The enemy obviously encountered great difficulties in the detour operations on both wings, so they wanted to take advantage of it. Take Kharkov, supply and transport directly by rail and road!"

What Captain Rommel said made the carriage fall into silence. This small, handsome 27-year-old captain has always regarded himself as the Napoleon of the German army. The 3rd Field Artillery Regiment of the Royal Army of the Fortress (ie the 49th Field Artillery Regiment of the Imperial German Army), and later transferred from the Field Artillery Regiment of the 27th Infantry Division to the 124th Infantry Regiment.

In Wang Geng's previous life, Rommel's military capabilities were admired and criticized by many military scientists, including the flexible and mobile tactics he developed when he visited the front line, being too harsh and difficult to get along with his colleagues in the army, acting recklessly, and not paying attention to logistics There are many controversies about his narrow strategic view, and some people even think that his outstanding ability is just a statement that the British army did not recognize the quality of enemy soldiers and touted Rommel as a military genius.In addition to his military prowess, Rommel also treated enemy soldiers with humanity and refused orders to kill Jewish and British commando prisoners of war.

Captain Rommel's words caused the officers of the 2nd Squad Command to whisper after being silent. Obviously, many people, like the squad leader, were more willing to accept Captain von Manstein's point of view than Rommel's. Rommel's judgment is a bit far-fetched and blunt in order to show his uniqueness, but Rommel's point of view is obviously supported by Lieutenant Blumentritt next to him. The young adjutant of the unit couldn't help but said,

"What Captain Rommel said makes sense. The coalition forces in front of us are not short of troops and want to take Kharkov. The opponent made it clear that they were not fully prepared for the difficulties encountered in the detour on the two wings, and wanted to take Kharkov by chance. Open up the logistics support and transportation lines from the middle, and, with the fortress as a barrier, the opponent can better implement the attempt to attract the main force of our army to gather in Kharkov for a decisive battle!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter what the reason is, what matters is the result. The primary task of the armored detachment is to protect the railway line, and destroying the enemy who detours to the south is the best way to protect our railway line. Received from Kharkov From the south to Krasnorad, there are nearly 80 kilometers of railway lines that need to be protected. If we wait for a rabbit to rely on this armored train, we will not be able to support it anyway, so I suggest that the Ben team should take the initiative! The Japanese Cavalry Wing The artillery was basically wiped out by the previous artillery battle, and we have enough advantages in firepower and mobility to carry forward!"
