Age of Rebirth

The first thousand and eighty chapters of persuasion

The German army surrounded more than [-] British and French allied forces on three sides in Dunkirk. The situation of the British and French allied forces is most appropriate to describe the situation of the British and French allied forces. But at a critical moment, Hitler, the head of state of Germany, issued an incredible order that the German army stopped the attack on Dunkirk.

Tang Qiuli heard the news from Battelle's telegram from the Dunkirk battlefield, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. History is still repeating itself, and Hitler still made a fatal mistake. The price of this mistake is enough to ruin the future and destiny of the Third Reich. Fortunately, Tang Qiuli learned the news immediately.

I don’t know what Hitler’s mentality was. The German General Staff didn’t mention this matter in their daily daily briefings. The British and French allied forces are still in chaos. There is still a lot to be done, and Tang Qiuli must correct this mistake made by the German head of state.

In less than an hour after receiving Battelle's telegram, Tang Qiuli prepared a telegram to Hitler, "Dear Your Excellency, First of all, I would like to congratulate your army on the overall victory in the European battlefield. Dunkirk surrounded the Anglo-French coalition forces on the European continent, the last main force, Qiuli was very happy for the victory of his old friend.”[

"However, Qiu Li learned a shocking news. Your Excellency the Head of State ordered the German army to stop the ground attack on Dunkirk this morning, and instead let the Luftwaffe complete the final blow. I will take the advice of an old friend. Although your country's air force is very powerful, the factor that determines the victory of a war is not just the use of air power to win."

"April is the cloudy and foggy season in the English Channel. If Dunkirk is shrouded in clouds and fog for several days in a row, what will the Luftwaffe do? The British will definitely take advantage of this rare opportunity to organize a large number of ships from the mainland. , to respond to the withdrawal of the British and French allied forces from Dunkirk, so as to avoid the fate of being wiped out."

"I have to point out frankly that this order from the head of state is really an act of delaying the opportunity of the war. There is an old saying in China, which is called 'Let the tiger go back to the mountain, and there will be trouble later'. If the last main force of the British and French coalition forces on the European battlefield can To escape the fate of being annihilated, in the future, they will definitely use the British Isles as a base and return to the European continent. If so, the threat to Germany can be described as huge. Stay away from alarmist talk.”

"Therefore, Qiuli suggested that the German army should use all its existing strength to carry out a final blow with all its strength against the British and French allied troops gathered in Dunkirk, so that your army can freely carry out the unification of the European continent. War is about worrying about the future, and the speed of the army is very important. The head of state should immediately revoke the original order, eliminate all interference, and issue a mobilization order to attack Dunkirk. The fastest way to end the war is to continue to attack. Qiu Li is in distant Asia. , looking forward to the good news of the German victory in Dunkirk."

An extremely long telegram, Tang Qiuli can be described as painstaking, eloquent, and well-intentioned, he does not want the German army to lose the ability to fight the Soviets because of this fatal mistake that has been proven by history, this is very important to Tang. Qiuli's long-term strategic plan is of no benefit, so he speaks earnestly and speaks out his opinion without any scruples.

He believed that after Hitler saw his telegram, he would suddenly wake up and correct his mistakes. Tang Qiuli did not have a good impression of Britain and France, the two western powers that set fire to the Old Summer Palace. If given the opportunity, he would not hesitate To repay this old historical debt, right now, this is a good opportunity to use the hands of the Germans to severely damage Britain and France.

As for the showy, clumsy Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Goering, if he was by Tang Qiuli's side, he would have sent him to retire for the elderly. No, I really don't know how Hitler would tolerate such a person, stay by his side and steal a high position.

After the telegram was sent, Tang Qiuli waited anxiously for Hitler's reply. However, after waiting for five or six hours from midnight until the east turned white, there was still no news from Germany. Tang Qiuli had no choice but to send Battelle another call. Send a telegram asking for the latest changes on the Dunkirk battlefield.

Battelle's call back was very quick. As Tang Qiuli said, since yesterday evening, the Dunkirk area has been covered with thick clouds and fog, and Goering, who is so arrogant, doesn't even have a plane. Dare to send out, Battelle's German Army Group, Guderian's First Panzer Army, tens of thousands of soldiers and thousands of tanks, in the fog, listening to the direction of Dunkirk, the British and French Allied soldiers' noisy voices, And everything.

In the telegram, Battelle couldn't hide his anxious mood. His "Lightning" armored assault division was in the sharp knife position of the First Armored Army, and it was the closest unit of the entire army group to Dunkirk. Other German units , there are lazy things to do, only Battelle's troops, under his strict orders, are in a state ready to go into battle at any time.

Although the other German military officers in the division did not understand the order of the young division commander from China, the capital ordered the attack to stop, so do we still need to stand up like this?Still earnestly carried out the command of the division commander. On the one hand, it was because of the discipline of the Germanic nation, and more importantly, because of the prestige gained by Battelle in many battles. Almost superstitious worship.

In the evening of the next day, Hitler finally replied to the telegram. Thankfully, the stubborn and self-willed German head of state finally seriously considered Tang Qiuli's suggestion, "My old friend, thank you very much for your heartfelt advice. As you said, For the past two days, Dunkirk has been shrouded in thick fog and thick clouds, and Goering's air force has no way of dispatching it. Half an hour ago, I gave the frontline troops an order to resume their offensive."

Tang Qiuli secretly rejoiced that Hitler was finally willing to listen to his suggestion. At this time, more than 30 hours had passed, and the large-scale retreat of the British had already begun. Hitler's order was conveyed to the front line of Dunkirk The various units of the German army caused a panic at that time.

The commanders of the German army at the front thought that there was nothing to do with the army, so they did not prepare for the various tasks necessary for the attack. The troops were busy making offensive plans, adjusting the deployment of troops, and replenishing fuel and medicine. Hundreds of thousands of troops, these trivial things Things can't be ready in a short time, at least a dozen hours.

When every second counts, more than ten hours is enough for more than [-] soldiers of the British and French troops to cross the English Channel and escape the fate of being annihilated. At the same time as receiving Hitler's telegram, Tang Qiuli immediately informed them of the new order. He called Battle and told him that instead of waiting for all the German units to finish their preparations, his division should be the first to attack.

With the power of one division, the entire German army's attack momentum was driven. Facing more than [-] British and French allied forces, Tang Qiuli's approach was risky enough, and Tang Qiuli's doing so had realistic considerations. Right now, the British and French allied forces , has become a frightened bird, wholeheartedly wanting to escape the fate of being encircled and wiped out, without any fighting spirit, and will inevitably be in chaos when encountering an attack.

There is a rule in Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is to win in chaos. Tang Qiuli asked Battelle to do this trick. Therefore, under the dumbfounded expressions of all the German generals and marshals, several members of the "Lightning" Assault Division of the First Armored Army Hundreds of tanks roared, in the thick fog of Dunkirk, a burst of blue smoke came out, and flames spewed out from the muzzles, launching a fierce attack on the British and French rearguard blocking positions. The order to re-offensive, less than an hour.

Battelle's assault achieved remarkable results. The British and French allied forces at the rear, and the hastily organized blocking position, were as weak as paper. In less than an hour after the attack was launched, they broke through two blocking lines of the British and French allied forces one after another. Battelle saw in the telescope , You can already see the crowds of British and French soldiers on the beach of Dunkirk, the messy crowd.

This is a typical single-handed entry and one-shot death. When Battelle mobilized before the battle, he was also very emotional, "German soldiers, war is a splendid stage for soldiers. Today, as your commander, I am willing to lead You go to face the danger, meet the enemy's guns and rain, the entire front line, we are the first German army to launch an attack, this honor can only belong to our glorious Lightning Armored Assault Division, soldiers, brave attack Now! Destroy the enemy, destroy the enemy, glory belongs to us! Attack!" [

The very exciting and provocative pre-war mobilization greatly boosted the morale of the German soldiers and made their blood boil. There is no lack of passion in the bones of soldiers, but there is a lack of people who ignite passion. European soldiers have even more passion in their bones. He has a knight complex. If Tang Qiuli were present at the scene and saw Battelle's performance, he would be satisfied for the rest of his life. The younger brother who just arrived in Germany is an ignorant young man.

After several years of studying in a foreign country and several battlefield trainings, Battelle grew up rapidly. When a German tank with a black cross appeared in front of the soldiers of the British and French allied forces, it immediately caused great panic. For tens of thousands of soldiers, this panic was fatal enough.

The sudden attack disrupted the position of the British and French troops. Battelle was in the tank and saw that there were headless chickens everywhere, but the British and French soldiers were running around. He immediately reported the situation to General Guderian, the commander of the group army. Guderian's reaction was only half a beat slower than Battelle's. Immediately, the entire First Armored Army, following the "Lightning" assault division, joined the battlefield.
