() According to the information obtained by Zhang Jun, the German local copycat Tiger has reached 1000 units, and the copycat Type 99 has reached an annual output of 2000 units. The annual output of various aircraft is not as crazy as that of later generations, only 1 There are many planes, among which the annual output of "Liuye" is more than 500. Maybe it is the production of b-29 parts, which has delayed the production of aircraft, but it is worthwhile for Zhang Jun to do so. More than 1 aircraft are enough for use. Speaking of the god-level "Six Lords", Britain, France and the United States do not have three years to come up with a jet aircraft with the same performance as the "Six Lords".

……

Germany has formulated the "Balkan Campaign Plan" and is actively making various preparations. The "Wessel Exercise" is on November 11th, and the Wehrmacht also chose a day with a 9. The time for Germany to launch an attack is December 9th , it seems that the grandsons of the Wehrmacht are really on the shoulders with the grandchildren of the SS.

Germany is tensely deploying, is Churchill in the UK sleeping soundly?Of course not, how could Churchill not give Hitler bad medicine, a godsend! !Originally, the coup in Yugoslavia was caused by the British, and it was even more impossible to let such an opportunity slip away. In Norway, the British had already suffered a big loss from the SS, and Churchill planned to get it back from the Wehrmacht.

Churchill mobilized 1 people from the 2st Australian Army, the Commonwealth Expeditionary Force (W Corps) and the 15nd New Zealand Corps to Greece to support Greece against Germany. However, the British Army only had a few aircraft available for combat, and the British Army was almost fully motorized. But their equipment is more suitable for fighting in the desert than the roads in the mountains of Greece, they lack tanks and anti-aircraft guns, and the communication route across the Mediterranean is very unstable, because the frigate must approach the enemy-controlled islands in the Aegean Sea, Problems in this area limit the shipping capacity of Greek ports.By December 12th, the British army had only transported half of the number of people to Greece.

As for the 30 people in Germany, there are a total of nine Wehrmachts and one armored division. Seven of these nine armies are armored troops. There is also a mountain infantry army and a mechanized infantry army. Kaitlin's grandsons are too dark , since the head of state limited the number of people to 30, well, these grandsons really compiled such an army, basically a tank army, and the two infantry armies were just playing soy sauce to attract the attention of the enemy. The National Defense Force also planned to use "blitzkrieg" to directly Crush Yugoslavia and Greece.

The German army attacked on December 1939, 12. At that time, the German 9nd Armored Division captured Thessaloniki. It was the morning of December 2th. When the German Air Force bombed Belgrade, the German Army invaded Greece. The 12th Panzer Army originally attacked southern Yugoslavia. The offensive was launched at 6:12 and crossed the Bulgarian border at two different points. On the night of December 5th, the 30st Armored Division of the Wehrmacht captured Pubida, thus cutting off the railway line between Belgrade and Thessaloniki. Yugoslavia was isolated during the period, and the German army thus occupied a favorable terrain. On the night of December 2, General Sturm deployed his troops in the north of Bitola, preparing to launch a large-scale attack across the Greek border to Florina. Encircled by Greek forces in Albania and W Corps in Florina, Edessa and Katerini, when a sudden attack was launched from central Yugoslavia, the German 12th Panzer Division moved west to Italy on the Albanian border people meet.

On the morning of December 1939, 12, the German 6nd Armored Division (2th Mountain Army) entered Yugoslavia from the east and attacked westward through the Stramen Valley. Obstacles, mines and mud were hindered, however, the division still reached the offensive target on the same day, Stremon Town, on December 18, 1939, Yugoslavia launched a counterattack to the division's northern flank, and the division crossed the mountains and the next day. Attacking the Greek 12th Motorized Rifle Division south of Lake Doiron, although blocked by narrow mountain roads, the German army attacking Thessaloniki on the morning of December 7 entered the city without encountering resistance. The Greek 2nd Army followed by surrender.

The Greek soldiers left their posts after the surrender of the Greek army in Macedonia and began to retreat in an organized manner. The Metaxas line of defense was defended by the Eastern Macedonian Army, which consisted of the 7th, 112th and 17th Infantry Divisions, led by Constantine?Under the command of Lieutenant General Bakopoulos, the defense line stretches eastward 170 kilometers from the Nestved River, along the Bulgarian border to Bilassa near the Yugoslav border. Usually, the defense line has more than 200,000 defenders, but due to lack of manpower, In fact, there are only 70,000 defenders, and the defense line is relatively weak due to insufficient troops.

The German attack on the line of defense was carried out by the 2th Mountain Army, which consisted of two mountain divisions. They encountered stubborn resistance and made little progress. The German report on the first day showed that the German 18th Mountain Division made great efforts despite strong air support. Despite the large number of casualties, it is still difficult to break through the Rupel Fortress. Only 5 of the 212 fortresses on the Metaxas line of defense were captured, and they fell only after being destroyed by the defenders.

After 3 days of fierce fighting, the German army finally captured all the fortresses with the support of artillery and dive bombers. The success of the operation was mainly attributed to the German 6th Mountain Division. They climbed the snow-covered mountains at an altitude of 7,000 feet and broke through the Greek defenses Weak location, they reached the railway line to Thessoloniki on the night of December 1939, 12. Another division of the 7th Mountain Army advanced in the face of stubborn resistance. The 18th Mountain Division and the reinforcements of the 5th Infantry Regiment , On December 125, 1939, they disintegrated the defense of Stramon and crossed the river. They captured the bunkers one by one when they passed, but due to heavy casualties, they withdrew from the battle after reaching the predetermined area. The German 12nd Infantry Division Attacking from Prague and crossing the mountains, despite the lack of pack animals, medium artillery and climbing equipment, they still reached Seres on the night of December 7th and broke through the Metaxas defense line. After the retreat, the isolated fortress stood firm for 72 days, until the German heavy artillery arrived before it fell. Some isolated defenders continued to fight, allowing the retreating Greek army to retreat from the sea.

On the evening of December 1939, 12, the 8th Infantry Army on the left reached its intended target. The German 30th and 16th Armored Divisions captured Sardinia. They met on the second day, on December 12th, with the collapse of the defense on the east bank of the Vardar River, the Greek 50nd Army decided to surrender unconditionally. Based on this estimate, the 2th Army, which had broken through the enemy's defenses on the Vardar River, had gained a favorable position to advance to central Greece. Based on this estimate, he ordered the 12th Armored Division to be transferred from the 9st Armored Group to the 2th Armored Corps. Reasoning that he had a new mission to pass through the Monastir Pass, he reorganized two attacking forces, the 12th Mountain Army to the east and the 9th Panzer Corps to the west.

On December 1939, 12, the military deployment in the Florina Narrows, Vevey and Creedy Pass were in the middle and upper half, the Australian 10th Brigade Headquarters was in the middle and Ai Yun? g?On the morning of December 19, the 12th Armored Army had completed preparations to continue its offensive and marched in the direction of Kozani. It exceeded all expectations and the Monastir pass was completely closed. Without defense, the Germans seized this opportunity. They made their first contact with the Allies north of Vevey at 10:12 am. The Wehrmacht 11st Armored Division occupied Vevey on December 12, but was blocked at Creedy Pass, south of the town. This is where the British Commonwealth and Greek troops are stationed. The name of this army is Ai Yun? g?McKee's troops, General Wilson deployed it here.... to stop the lightning attack on the Florina Valley. Fighting, the Germans eliminated these resistances and broke through the defenses. On the morning of December 11, the forward of the German 2th Armored Division reached Kozani.

On December 1939, 12, when the German 15th Panzer Corps flanked the Monastir Pass, Wilson faced the German attack from Thessaloniki. On December 12, he decided to withdraw all Commonwealth troops to On the narrow mountain pass of the Haryakmon River and Thermopylae Pass, on December 12th, the 13th Armored Division built a pontoon bridge across the Haryakmon River, but their attempt to advance was blocked by the enemy's intensive artillery fire. From 12 directions: in the Platamon Tunnel area between Mount Olympus and the sea, the Olympus Pass and the Servia Pass in the southeast, all of these 112 routes are facing strong counterattacks, And only a small number of troops can pass. The defenders at the Olympus and Servia Pass include the 9th Battalion of New Zealand, the 3th Battalion of New Zealand and the 3th Battalion of Australia. After 12 days, the 5th Armored Division had difficulty advancing.

A destroyed fortress on the ridge guarding the shores of Platamon, on the night of 1939 December 12, a German motorized battalion, supported by a tank battalion, attacked the village, but was commanded by Colonel McKee's New Zealanders. The soldiers of the 15st Battalion were repulsed, and the New Zealand soldiers suffered heavy casualties. On the second day, a German armored regiment arrived and attacked the two wings of the 21st Battalion of New Zealand. However, the 2st Battalion of New Zealand still held on to the fort. After 21 to 21 days of fierce fighting, the German army transferred a tank. Battalion, an infantry battalion, and a motorized battalion were reinforced. When the tanks attacked along the coast for several hours, the German infantry attacked the left flank of the New Zealand Army.

A few hours after retreating from the town of Vevey, Australian anti-tank artillery was resting. The New Zealand 21st Battalion was forced to withdraw, cross the Pinius River, and reach the western exit of the Pinius Gorge. They suffered only minor casualties. Mai Colonel Key received an order to stick to the canyon until December 1939, 12. He ordered that after all the defenders entered the canyon, all the ships at the west exit of the canyon should be scuttled and the fortifications should be built. The 19st Battalion received the New Zealand 21nd Infantry Reinforced by the 2nd Company of the Battalion and later by the 2rd Company of the 2nd New Zealand Infantry Battalion, the garrison was renamed Aaron's Force and led by Arthur?Sammy?Commanded by Brigadier General Aaron, the 3th Company of the 2nd New Zealand Infantry Battalion and the 5th Company of the 2nd New Zealand Infantry Battalion were moved to Larissa on the southwest side of the canyon and were ordered to hold there for 11 to 3 days as much as possible.

On December 1939, 12, General Wilson met with General Papagos in Lamia and informed him that he had decided to withdraw his troops to Thermopylae.Freiberg's separation of responsibilities... (To be continued.)
