Glorious Mission 1937

While Chen Feng was busy with domestic affairs, Hitler sent Delixi to send a report to Chen Feng, asking him if he wanted any more Jews. Jewish.

After receiving Delixi's telegram, Chen Feng was stunned at first, and then he felt quite puzzled.Chen Feng is quite clear about the situation of the Jews. Before the war, the total Jewish population in the world was just over 1000 million, most of them were distributed in Europe, and some were distributed in the United States.There are only more than 200 million Jews in Germany. Even if you add the Jews of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland and other countries, the total population will not exceed 400 million.

Now the total number of Jews who have moved to China has exceeded 180 million. After the military trains arrive in Guisui in a few days, the number of Jews who have moved to China will definitely exceed 200 million. 200 million, which is equivalent to the total number of Jews in Germany, Chen Feng thinks this is already the limit that Germany can "sell" to him.Unexpectedly, Hitler could still provide him with more than 100 million Jews. This was indeed beyond Chen Feng's expectations.

But soon Delixi solved his doubts. It turned out that Germany had just occupied Norway.Denmark surrendered in just 4 hours, which greatly stimulated Hitler. The performance of the Wehrmacht far exceeded Hitler's expectations, which completely exposed Mustache's fanatical ambition.

On January 1940, 1, less than 2 hours after Denmark surrendered, German forces launched an attack on Norway.Compared with the weak Denmark, Norway's military strength is relatively stronger, but it is only a tall man among short men.Compared with Germany, forget it or not, the two are not rivals at the same level at all, and there is no comparison at all.

Although Norway has 6 infantry divisions, they are not full and the deployment is scattered. Two divisions are deployed near the capital Oslo, and the rest are deployed in Kristiansund, Bergen, Trondheim, and Narvik.In addition, there are 64 ships and 190 aircraft that are overage.

Compared with Denmark's unpreparedness, Norway has a very complete defensive combat plan.But this defensive battle plan is based on the British and French expeditionary forces.I said it before.Norway and Germany are not rivals at the same level at all, so no matter how good Norway's combat plan is, it is impossible to defeat Germany on its own, so Norway pins its hopes on Initiation.

为了尽快占领挪威。德国这次出动了6个步兵师1个摩托化旅及若干独立坦克营、摩托化营共9万人侵占挪威。并以900架飞机及184艘舰艇支援和保障地面部队行动。侵占挪威的战役依然由福尔肯霍斯特上将担任总指挥官。

It was originally expected by the German Front Enemy Command.Although Denmark is weak, it is still no problem to support it for three to five days, so they divided the entire campaign into two stages when they formulated the "Wessel Exercise" plan.The first stage was to attack Denmark, and the second stage was to capture Norway. [

However, the rapid demise of Denmark forced the German army on the front line to change its combat plan. According to the revised combat plan of the former enemy headquarters, the German army still adopted "blitzkrieg" to deal with the Norwegian army, and at the same time dispatched a large number of airborne troops to coordinate operations.First of all, the airborne troops should be ordered to capture the Forneb Airport near the Norwegian capital Oslo, and at the same time capture the Sola Airport in Stavanger on the southwest coast of Norway, and establish an air base here to deal with the British attack from the sea.Then a large number of ground troops were dispatched to quickly break through the Norwegian Army's defense system, divide and encircle it in various parts of Norway, and finally gather and annihilate them.

In order to implement the plan smoothly, the German army dispatched a large number of airborne troops this time, with a total strength of more than 5 troops. In order to ensure that the airborne landing can achieve the expected effect, 500 transport planes of the German [-]th Air Force were also ordered to participate in this operation. .

On the morning of January 1, a large number of transport planes took off from the airports of Stade, Schleswig, and Jutsen in northern Germany, with the goal of capturing Forneb Airport near the Norwegian capital Oslo.The original combat plan was that the paratroopers of the two companies took the transport plane and parachuted at Fornebe Airport under the cover of fighter jets. After occupying the airport, the infantry took the transport plane and landed at the airport.

In the eyes of the German commander, Norway and Denmark are actually the same. It took only 4 hours for Denmark to surrender. Presumably Norway will not last long, but in fact the German attack was not very smooth.Due to the weather, most parts of Norway are covered with heavy fog, and there are layers of dark clouds above the fog, and the visibility is only 20 meters. This kind of weather is not suitable for airborne at all.Before the first wave of attack was carried out, 2 fighter planes were lost, but the German army returned afterward.

The second attack wave was flying towards Forneb Airport 20 minutes apart from the first attack wave according to the original order. The officers and soldiers of the 324nd Battalion of the 2th Infantry Regiment were on board.The pilots of the second attack wave seemed to be more experienced, and they managed to fly to the target in the gloomy cloud and fog despite the bad weather conditions.As luck would have it, the weather near Oslo was clear with good visibility.After 3 hours of fighting, the German army finally occupied Forneb Airport.

When the German airborne troops captured the Forneb Airport, the fleet carrying the army troops of the German Navy was blocked in the Oslo Fjord, and the flagship "Blücher" heavy cruiser was sunk by Norwegian guns and torpedoes at 7:23. , the German carrier-based troops were blocked by Norwegian warships and shore artillery outside the port of Oslo, and still could not dock. In order to quickly occupy Oslo, according to the order of the superior, the airborne troops that landed in Forneb formed several military parade teams with 1500 people , Wearing a ribbon on the head, under the cover of aviation, in the posture of an ancient conqueror, marched along the main street into the center of Oslo. The German army estimated that the Norwegian army would be intimidated by this bluff and there would be no resistance.

The Norwegian government was unprepared for the sudden appearance of paratroopers in the capital.At the same time, the actions of the German army were supported by the spy organization "Fifth Column" headed by Quisling. They not only provided the German army with information on the defense system of cities, ports, and airports, troop deployment, and military facilities before the war, but also bought key departments. They disturbed the morale of the army, carried out subversion and sabotage activities, and when the German army marched into Oslo, the Quisling elements occupied the radio station and issued false orders ordering the fortresses and ships to surrender to the German army.Therefore, the German airborne troops occupied this city with a population of 30 without bloodshed.It was the first capital in the world to be occupied by paratroopers.Immediately afterwards, the airborne troops attacked the port from behind and took control of the Oslo harbor fortress, allowing more than 2000 German landing troops to land quickly.

While airborne and naval landings attacked from the air and sea, German bomber forces made deterrent flights over the Norwegian locations of Kristiansund, Egersund, Stavanger and Bergen, and attacked the city of Oslo. The forts on the various islands of the Oslo Fjord, the Cheele Airport, and the antiaircraft artillery positions of Holmenklian.The Norwegian army could not stand such strong military pressure. By the evening of January 1, most of Norway's positions were in the hands of the German airborne troops.

The German attack alarmed Britain and France, especially Britain. Once Denmark and Norway were all occupied by Germany, the situation of Britain would be bad. As long as Germany occupied these two countries, it would be able to break the relationship between Britain and France against the German navy. The blockade allowed German ships to enter the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean unimpeded, and established a naval base on the west coast of Norway to restrict the actions of the British Navy. England and France.

Although Britain and France did not want to go to war with Germany, they had to think about their own safety in this situation. In desperation, Britain had to send an expeditionary force to reinforce Norway. On January 1, the British 6th Brigade, under the command of brigade commander Brigadier General Phillips, entered Namsos at night with two battalions and moved south through Gron towards Steinkell.During the night of the same day, more than 146 British marines landed at Andalsnes and advanced towards the Dambosch railway junction in an attempt to cut the railway line from Oslo to Trondheim and divide the German army.Two days later, the British 600th Brigade also landed at Andalsnes.

At this time, most of the cities and fortresses in Norway were already under the control of Germany. The resistance of the Norwegian army was basically over before January 1, so the next battle became the battle between the German army and the British. battle between.

Of course, the German army understood the importance of Dangbosch, but due to the lack of troops, they could only draw out a company of paratroopers to seize the railway junction. On the afternoon of January 1th, 10 paratroopers flew to Dambos on a Junker-150 transport plane, but due to an airborne error, only two officers and 52 soldiers were assembled by the scheduled time.However, this small force chose to surrender after being besieged by nearly 61 British and Norwegian coalition forces for nearly 2000 hours.

Although the British army achieved some victories at sea and in the port of Narvik, due to the bad weather and the slow movement of the landing troops, they failed to expand the results in time.At the same time, the German army controlled the central and southern parts of Norway, and had the ability to capture the north.By January 1, Hitler again sent troops to Norway.The force under Falkenhorst's command was increased to 14 men against 8 Norwegian troops and 1 British and allied forces.

After half a month of fighting, Germany basically controlled Norway, and the British and French coalition forces and other allied forces basically lost their strategic initiative. Both the British government and the French government have understood that it is only a matter of time before the Germans capture the entire territory of Norway. Even if more troops are added, it will not help. It can be said that Norway is doomed.

In this battle, Hitler saw clearly the military power of Britain and France, and at the same time recognized the strength of the German army. Compared with the two, Hitler was delighted to find that the German army's combat effectiveness was much higher than that of Britain and France. This made him extremely happy. As long as he has a lot of financial support, he can realize his dream of a Greater German Empire.For this reason, Mustache couldn't wait to order Delixi to contact Chen Feng, and wanted to book all the Jews in Denmark and Norway to him.
