Redemption of WWII

Chapter 38 The Young Lieutenant Colonel

Chapter 38 Young school

In peaceful times, promotion is nothing to be proud of. 【】A person is positioned according to his ability, not according to his military rank.In the war years, people will only pay attention to those who have won the battle and will not pay attention to their ranks George Jr., Smith, Patton.

Time back to the headquarters of the Eighth Army of the 'Ah Lyman' British Army who was still fighting fiercely.When General Meng Ge, who had passed out, woke up, he found a circle of heads around him.They were all staring at themselves anxiously.It was only in Meng Ge's heavy head that he heard the fierce gunfire outside.

"How's the situation outside? We heard the gunshots very close to us." Meng Ge asked.

"Don't worry, the enemy troops outside are blocked by our concrete permanent fortifications. It's just that we haven't been able to contact other troops, and there is no way for them to come for reinforcements. According to my observation, the number of enemy troops is not very large. There are about 700 people, and there are only 4 tanks. Judging from the logo on the outside of the tank, it is the tank at the checkpoint not far from us. It is estimated that it was captured by the enemy and used to attack our concrete firepower point. But it is fine now , You have woken up. I believe that under your leadership, we will be able to defeat the enemy." Major General Guingamp said hastily.

Meng Ge fainted when he heard it, and the enemy captured our tanks intact.And use it to attack us.It's ironic.This Guingamp can't speak too much, why can I defeat the enemy when I wake up.How is this possible? I didn't just become an officer 30 years ago.At that time, when I was young, all I could think about was fighting and honor.Now I am the supreme commander of the group army, the commander-in-chief of tens of thousands of people.Bullet holes on the battlefield, it doesn't matter whether you are a general or a soldier, it is very dangerous.Why didn't Gangang understand the truth that 'a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall'.Hurry up and persuade me to leave this place of right and wrong.

Thinking of this, Meng Ge winked at Major General Guingamp.Gangan, who was still praising Meng Ge endlessly, suddenly stopped talking.Only then did I realize that I had photographed the wrong horse.Major General Guingamp hurriedly remedied, "But Commander, you have more important things to do. An urgent telegram was sent from China just now. You are requested to go to Cairo immediately."

Only then did Meng Ge's face soften and he asked, "What's the matter? You're here too. I can't leave here, and there are still enemies waiting for me to destroy."

Guingamp quickly said, "At this time, Prime Minister Churchill ordered that only you go in person. You can leave the battle here to others. In addition, there are not many enemies, and the battle will end soon."

Guingamp was right about this point. There were nearly 2000 people in the British Eighth Army Command of 'Ah Lyman'.But most of them are logistics support, communication support, and transportation support personnel.The real guard force is similar to the people led by Liu Qi, with more than 7 people.But the camp of the headquarters is full of fortifications and bunkers.So Guingamp's words were not wrong.

But this did not shake Meng Ge's confidence to leave.Before Mongol arrived in North Africa, he conducted an in-depth and thorough research on Rommel. The research found that every time Rommel's troops, weapons, support, and logistics were not dominant.But in the end it was always Rommel who won.Rommel is a person who is good at performing miracles, so Meng Ge was extremely careful about Rommel's use of troops.Including the attack on the headquarters this time, Meng Ge thought of yesterday's victory.Can't help but doubt Rommel again.

Although the troops on the front line were victorious, if the command of the British army was captured, Rommel could say that it was not a failure, but a trap set up to attract the British army to leave the line of defense.All the troops of the British army were used for the offensive on the front line, and they neglected to prevent and rescue the headquarters.If Meng Ge himself was captured, then the battle would probably be over.Rommel would happily escort himself to Germany, just like the ancient generals paid their respects to the king.Give yourself to Hitler.At that time, even if the German-Italian coalition forces in North Africa are all dead, it is estimated that Hitler will not be heartbroken.Instead, he treats himself as a prize and brings himself to press conferences every day.

And Churchill will definitely not let the face of the British Empire be lost by himself.At that time, he will kill himself at all costs.Thinking of this, Meng Ge couldn't help but feel a chill coming from his body. 36 meter, go is the best policy.It's better to get out of here as soon as possible.

"That's good, Chief of Staff Guingamp. You also want to go to Cairo with me. On the way, we will discuss important issues about the army group and the construction of the army. This issue is very important and must be discussed immediately. As for the command here, I will leave it to you. You two, the deputy chief of staff and the director of the combat intelligence department, have full command. I believe you will complete this order very well." Meng Ge emphasized the last word of order.

The deputy chief of staff and the minister of intelligence couldn't help but despise Meng Ge's actions.Xin said that the power supply of the transmitter was broken, and he also said that he had received a telegram from Churchill.He was obviously afraid of the Germans, but he still pretended to be righteous.But on the surface, he accepted Meng Ge's order with great respect.There is no way, the official rank will crush people to death.

So Meng Ge led a few guards around him, Chief of Staff Guingamp, and Meng Ge's stepson Dick and Carver hurriedly took two cars and left from an escape exit.

Both the Deputy Chief of Staff and the Minister of Intelligence knew the situation well.Knowing that the German and Italian armies cannot have many army attack headquarters.This team of hundreds of people is likely to be airborne by German paratroopers.Because of the cloudy and rainy weather these days, and the fact that the British Air Force had just participated in ground-sea air battles in the desert, and their physical strength had not recovered, there was no way to conduct large-scale air combat reconnaissance.However, whether it is airborne or infiltrated, it is impossible to carry heavy weapons.It is impossible to conquer the large concrete fortifications of the headquarters without heavy weapons.

But what the deputy chief of staff and the intelligence minister didn't expect was that the concrete permanent fortification, which took a lot of time and money, was actually pierced.It was still pierced by the 40th gun with the smallest caliber in the British system. This simply violates all scientific cognition in this world.When the first permanent firepower point was shining brightly in the night sky like fireworks.Both of them couldn't help feeling a little scared.

For no other reason than the fact that dozens of cannonballs landed on the same target in a row confused the two of them.If the artillery of the German and Italian armies had such accuracy, then what kind of battle would there be? The British army simply surrendered.Probably a coincidence, or a hallucination.Both of them firmly believed.

When dozens of rounds fell on the second concrete permanent firepower nod.The two finally knew that this was no coincidence or hallucination.Impossible things are clearly in front of us, there is no way to continue this battle, if we continue to fight, it will not be brave, it will be stupid.So the two looked at each other and said the same thing in their hearts, "Surrender, if you continue to fight, you will murder the British soldiers. Sooner or later, you will not be able to stand it."

Only then did the two of them suddenly understand why Brother Meng had to leave, because if Brother Meng didn't leave, he would be captured for sure.The two said to the messengers around them, "As the supreme commander here, we have decided to order the soldiers to put down their weapons. Don't make any more fearful resistance."

The British soldiers welcomed the order to surrender. Anyway, I heard rumors that the treatment of the Germans was very good.At least there is no need to worry about landmines, artillery, cold guns, and bombing every day.

Liu Qi also met the supreme commander of the British army very quickly.They couldn't help being surprised when they realized that it was such a German school commander.

One is stunning, this person is so beautiful, it is an insult to describe this person as 'little boy'.Exquisite facial features, slender figure, pure eyes, warm smile, and an unruly temperament on the proud face.This is simply not human, but the two of them just can't tell what it is, anyway, it's a smell that you know when you see it, and you can't remember it when you turn your face, and you don't want to think about it.

The second is that this person is too young, he looks only 20 years old.A 20-year-old military officer in the UK, even His Royal Highness, cannot become a principal.But this young school gentleman has already led the troops to sneak into the rear of the enemy army, and miraculously occupied the headquarters.

Originally, after the two had gone through a few more battles, they felt that there was nothing in the world that they could not understand.From the breakthrough of the French defense line to the retreat of Dunkirk.Then he went to North Africa and was chased and intercepted twice by Rommel.Each time it left a deep impression on the two of them, allowing them to fully realize that 'the charm of war lies in the uncertainty of the war process'.

But today I saw an unheard of shelling, and I saw a schoolboy who was only 20 years old, and he was still a messy handsome schoolboy.If anyone dared to say that he could become a captain at the age of 20, the two of them would definitely slap that guy in the face.Because the military schools in each country have to go through at least 5 years of military study, those with excellent grades will be sent to the combat troops to become a second lieutenant officer, or enter the command organization for staff work. After 2 years, you need to have excellent work performance or have a very strong background to become a lieutenant officer.Because a lieutenant officer is the smallest military rank to independently hold a combat force, and the commanding force is only a platoon.

In this way, the minimum age to become a lieutenant is 23 years old.But that was a lieutenant. If he became a school principal, this young man would have already started learning military knowledge in his mother's womb.

Surprises are surprises, but when the young principal invited the two of them to have supper together, neither of them refused.The food, of course, was found in the barracks of Major General Guingamp, mostly some American canned food, and a few cans of Russian pure sturgeon caviar were also found.In the end, I found a basket of fruit.

Of course, the German and Italian soldiers were idle. When they opened the logistics warehouse of the headquarters, they saw a mountain of canned beef.For the past few days, the German and Italian soldiers have been gnawing on dry food and drinking cold water to survive. If they see the smell of meat, they will not let it go.One by one was full of oil, and finally even the British soldiers got a share of a few canned meat that belonged to them.

Not far away, dozens of German and Italian artillerymen a few kilometers away were also picked up by trucks. When two SS artillery commanders and five Italian artillerymen jumped off the truck, all the German and Italian soldiers cheered in unison. .He directly lifted several people up and threw them into the air one after another.The joyful atmosphere even infected those British soldiers who had been captured.
