Back to the Republic of China as a commander

If Ludendorff's suggestion is followed, perhaps history will return to its original track, then. . .It's a pity that there is no more. Marshal Hindenburg himself was not a very decisive person. Between Germany and the crown prince, or between the fate of the country and personal honor and disgrace, the chief of the German general staff chose the latter, so history The wheels derailed. . .

In the middle of the night on May 5 local time, full of grievances, the two divisions of Liao Lei and He Yingqin, who originally planned to take advantage of Nancy, arrived in Metz.However, what they didn't expect was that the expeditionary force didn't build fortifications in this city, and it didn't look like a decisive battle was going to take place here. What medicine.

According to the arrangement of the staff officer of the headquarters responsible for the reception, the First Division and the Fifth Division went to their respective lodging places, but Liao Lei, the commander of the division, He Yingqin, the commander of the division, and the regimental leaders did not follow. German Daimler cars headed to Bai Chongxi's temporary headquarters.

As soon as He Yingqin sat on it and drove not far, he suddenly shouted to Liao Lei in surprise: "Oh, Commander, this German car is really good, much better than the American car we bought."

He was thinking hard about what Bai Chongxi would do next, and when Liao Lei heard this, he answered in a godlike way: "It's really good, I said Mr. He, your psychological quality is also really good, you know what we are doing now Where is it? The German army in the surrounding area is almost three times that of ours. If you are really serious, think about what we need to do to return to China alive. Don’t blame me for not telling you, Bai Jiansheng and I are classmates. This person is not generally courageous, but very courageous, the problem is that if he is bold, it means that we little brothers will bleed."

He Yingqin didn't care at all when he heard this, and smiled very easily: "Commander Liao, what are you afraid of when the sky falls and there is a big man on top of it? I think that since Commander Bai dared to pull the strength of our four divisions directly behind the enemy, It means that he has already planned everything. Since this is the case, instead of thinking about life and death, we should think about how to carry out Commander Bai's orders. Don't laugh at me, I have a feeling that this time we are likely to follow Commander Bai Be famous."

Liao Lei thought about it too, and when he heard the last sentence, he was immediately amused: "It is said that Cantonese are slippery. Compared with you Guizhou people, I'm afraid they can't even resist half of it. You, He Yingqin, are the number one sycophant. . .”

At ten o'clock in the evening, Bai Chongxi's temporary headquarters, although it was late at night, it was still brightly lit.The staff officers directly under the headquarters are busy preparing for various battles, including the statistics and distribution of weapons and ammunition, including the formulation and issuance of orders for various combat units. In short, everyone is doing their best to prepare for the upcoming battle. working.The joy of victory has not yet dissipated from these staff officers. Now these young lads are full of revolutionary passion. Everyone tells themselves in their hearts that we are creating a new history for the country and the nation, and our children and grandchildren will definitely remember us contribution today.

Bai Chongxi stood in front of the big map made by the Germans. Although his eyes were on the map, his mind was no longer on the map.Bai Chongxi is actually not a god-man, he also has moments of fear and cowardice, but usually he hides these.When fighting against the Beiyang Army in China, Bai Chongxi's self-confidence was fully displayed. Anyway, he can do whatever he wants to fight. This also made him, who is not good at communication and conduct, quickly surpass the prestige of veterans like Xu Yuanquan in the army. .In private, those who have received Bai Chongxi's command call him the God of War.

Now the god of war wants to be the god of gamblers. Bai Chongxi's first bet was the Lorraine region. This bet was obviously successful, and he also got the unexpected harvest of the German crown prince.According to the traditional thinking of the Chinese, now is the time to accept as soon as it is good.However, although Bai Chongxi is an authentic Chinese, his thinking is full of Japanese characters. It is not his habit to accept someone when he is good. If he knew that he would accept him when he was good, he would not fight with Lao Jiang. decades.

Bai Chongxi's idea now is to play a big one, how big is it?Try to end this damn war once and for all, because Bai Chongxi only found out when he arrived in Europe that the way these big powers fought like this, how many lives are not enough to fill them up.It's just a bunch of idle nobles playing war games, consuming each other's excess production capacity.

So now, Bai Chongxi intends to tear a hole and change the course of this war.

The number of German troops is between 150 million and 0. Among them, the number of troops on the western front is about 150 million after the revolution broke out in Russia. The 70 best fighters here are concentrated at the eastern end of the front. In the Verdun region this number reached 50.

After nearly a year of study and observation in France, Bai Chongxi came to a valuable conclusion, that is, it is impossible to defeat the Germans if they only use positional warfare to play against the Germans.The good discipline of the Germans, advanced military equipment, and already tenacious will to fight, doomed such a battle to turn into a war of attrition in the end, and judging from the data of the two warring parties, if the bloodshed in the end, it would be the coalition forces. many.In the third year of the war, the French and Germans became less and less confident as they continued to fight. This was particularly prominent in the Battle of the Somme last year.

But the German army is not invincible. According to Bai Chongxi's thinking, after three years of positional warfare, the German army's combat habits and organizational discipline are estimated to have been templated.And this is where the greatest chance of defeating the German army lies. As long as the German army can be dragged out of the trench and then face-to-face bloody battles on the vast plains, it is estimated that the German army will be like a long-term opponent in the dark It is as if a person suddenly sees the light, unable to open his eyes and then plunged into chaos.And once it enters a state of chaos, the many advantages of the German team will immediately disappear.If Wang Zhenyu had been here and knew what Bai Chongxi was thinking, he would have grabbed Bai Chongxi's hand excitedly and said, "Brother, you didn't come from time travel, did you? "

Historically, this was the case with the Kuomintang Army, whose combat level was much higher than that of the People’s Liberation Army. Before the cannons were unloaded from the truck, they were entangled with the overwhelming People’s Liberation Army. The battle was basically dumbfounded, and it collapsed on its own without the People's Liberation Army destroying its command system.This is when Deep Blue Computer encountered Xie Jun, and without this move in the game record, it crashed directly.

In fact, the U.S. military suffered a lot during the Korean War. It was not until later that they invented the worship offensive method that they used mechanical power to deal with this disruptive warfare. Specifically, it was to calculate the maximum distance that the volunteers could pursue at one time. 70 miles, and use the car to retreat 70 miles after the attack started.It is calculated that the consumption time of the Volunteer Army's one-time combat supplies is one week, so such a retreat will last at most one week.Then they started to fight back, inflicting heavy damage on the volunteer army. At this time, the volunteer army was exhausted and lacked in supplies, so they really didn't know what to do except flee for their lives!This is the fundamental reason why after the first year of the Korean War, the Volunteers never launched operations similar to the previous five offensives.

Maybe geniuses are really self-taught, Bai Chongxi has now grasped the way to defeat the German army from under their powerful appearance, so as to disrupt them.

But when Bai Chongxi proposed this plan, all the division commanders, chiefs of staff, and regiment leaders present were all dumbfounded.

Ye Kaixin was the first to raise an objection: "Commander Bai, if we really disrupt the situation, will our own army collapse on its own because of this situation? Moreover, the German army is said to have retreated 50 troops this time." , at least more than 40 people, we have a total of less than 10 people here, how can we get it down?"

Other division commanders also expressed their concerns. In fact, it is not only the German army who is fighting according to the drills, but the youth army and the expeditionary army themselves are not like this.If you have to say that it is different from the German army, it is because no Germans are professional.

Bai Chongxijing waited for everyone to finish speaking, and then said very proudly: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. We have to tell the officers and soldiers below that we are in Europe now. We have such a dignified appearance, and we don't understand the language. If we want to escape, there is nowhere to escape. Either kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy, there is no third choice; besides, who told you that these grandchildren I only have 10 people, the five divisions commanded by Chief of Staff Chiang and the 50 French troops commanded by Marshal Pétain Right behind the ass of the German army, what are we afraid of? Don’t be afraid of anything. The battlefield is in the Lorraine area. It’s full of Frenchmen. It’s really confusing. The Germans are probably more afraid than us. We just want to be the ones who dare to eat crabs Yes, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the worst result is to wipe out all our 10 horses. But once we win, the honor and result we will gain will be the capture of Metz and the capture of the German Crown Prince Ten times or even a hundred times the honor and battle results it brings."

The officers were silent, they were still trying to digest Bai Chongxi's amazing plan.

And Bai Chongxi suddenly shouted loudly: "Mr. Liang Qichao said that China has no Han nationality, no ethnic minorities, but only one nation, the great Chinese nation. We traveled thousands of miles to Europe with only one purpose, to help the Chinese nation rise in the world We are fighting in the forest of nations. Who are we? Soldiers, you feel your eggs now to see if the thing is still there? Go back and let the officers and soldiers touch your eggs to see if they are still there? If it is a man, Then don't hesitate, don't be afraid, give death to our enemies, long live the Chinese nation!"

This paragraph was later recorded in the military history of the expeditionary army, which immediately activated the blood in the hearts of everyone present. They were all young people in their 20s. Didn’t what Commander Bai said was exactly what they dreamed of?

"Commander Bai is right. Humans and birds have never died for tens of thousands of years, and they fought with the Germans." Liao Lei slapped the table and stood up and shouted.

But the officers shouted desperately, and then shouted in unison: "Long live the nation, long live the youth army!..."
