Chapter 377 The sun never sets on the sinking of the empire 4

"If the Germans continue to maintain this bombing density, there will be no planes left in 5 days." Algernon Porter added fuel to the fire.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, if the Germans continue to maintain this bombing plot, all our land transportation facilities will be destroyed, and there will be no transport ships on the sea." John Greer, Chief of the Imperial General Staff. Admiral Deal also added.

"There are no planes, no roads, no ships, but we still have people in the British Empire, and the great King George VI!" Churchill roared bitterly.

The next day, the Germans still dispatched 3000 fighter planes to bombard all suspicious targets in the UK in three batches in turn.The British also sent fighter planes into the air to block the attack, but the effect was the same as yesterday. No matter what method the British adopted, they could not shake the German air superiority.However, the British Air Force seems to be becoming more cunning. They have adopted a variety of tactics in the air, such as one formation rushing into the enemy's line to contain the German Air Force, while the other formation is hidden at high altitude and ready to attack at any time; In pursuit, a large number of planes suddenly pour out behind a certain cloud to form a local advantage with fewer hits and more.

However, even so, the results of the British are still pitiful.Gone is the air-to-air parity of a few months ago.In fact, the so-called balance of power mainly refers to the overall air situation. If we really want to talk about the air confrontation between the two armies, the results of the Germans are far greater than those of the British every time.At that time, mainly German-made aircraft entered the war. These aircraft were ahead of the British aircraft, but the lead was very limited.

However, when Wu Aihua decided to fully enhance the combat power of the German navy and air force, the air combat started by the British was fully controlled by the Germans.

At the end of the second air battle, the British lost another 900 aircraft, and the Germans lost more than 200 aircraft, which was a bit closer to the battle loss ratio.

The reason for this situation is that the British Air Force has changed some tactics, making the British Air Force more difficult to deal with; the second is that the German Air Force seems to have some pride because of the victory on the first day.

At the end of the air battle that day, Colonel Long Dongchu, Air Force Staff Officer of the Military Observation (Staff) Regiment of the Chinese National Defense Forces in Germany, called Major General Fleck Lever, Staff Officer of the German Air Force Command, to remind him to pay attention to the night attack of the British Air Force.Major General Fleet Lever immediately fed back the Chinese proposal to Marshal Goering of the German Air Force.

"Do the British dare to come? If the British dare to come, let him taste the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the Third Reich!" Goering said proudly.And Hitler, who was beside Goering, also felt that the Chinese were too cautious. The British lost 2000 planes in two days. What power would dare to attack Germany?

However, the reminder of Colonel Long Dongchu, the Chinese staff officer, is not unreasonable.That night, under the guidance of local intelligence personnel and resistance personnel, the British dispatched 2900 bombers and ground attack aircraft to carry out an unprecedented and tragic bombing of the coastal ports and major airports of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Germany.The bombing began at 10 o'clock in the evening and continued until 4 o'clock in the morning.

In this night's bombing, Germany lost 800 combat aircraft, 1 aircraft carrier, 3 battleships, more than 40 heavy cruisers and below warships, more than 200 transport ships of various types, and numerous port facilities and airport facilities were damaged.Not only did the results of the two-day air strikes be lost, but even Brigadier General Karl Tonide's achievements in the Strait of Gibraltar were also handed over to the United Kingdom.At the same time, the original plan to launch the landing operation against Britain on March 3 had to be postponed indefinitely.

In order to express his indignation and protest against Hitler and Göring, Wu Aihua sent a note to the German ambassador to China on March 3, China time, requesting the withdrawal of the Chinese National Defense Forces military observation (staff group) stationed in Germany.

"What, Wu Aihua wants to withdraw the military observation team?" Hitler was very surprised when he heard the news. Could it be that the cooperation between China and Germany has come to an end.

"Your Excellency the Head of State, it was you who proposed to upgrade the China Observer Group to the Observer Staff Group. However, the Chinese have put forward a total of 23 suggestions on strategies and tactics over the past year, and we have only adopted 3 of them. victorious; we partially adopted their proposals 3 times, and those 9 times also achieved victory; It can only be regarded as a failure every time.”

As a foreign minister, Ribbentrop has studied China in depth in recent years, including relevant documents from the military observation (staff) group of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and never let it go.And the more he studied, the more Ribbentrop felt that China was very mysterious, and the Chinese's strategies and tactics were so high that he couldn't understand it.However, countless times it has been proved that the Chinese are correct.Not to mention in Germany, it is in the north of Finland, because President Mannerheim fully respects the opinions of the Chinese, and with a Finnish army of less than 20, he resisted the three-dimensional attack of more than 50 people from Soviet Russia for several months. Moreover, it also achieved huge results in annihilating 80 people, more than 3000 tanks, and more than 4000 aircraft in Soviet Russia.

"You bring me the content of every suggestion made by the Chinese." Hearing Ribbentrop's analysis, Hitler seemed to have regained his senses, and he seemed to have found the cause of the error.

"Chinese President Wu Aihua asked me to convey a few words to the head of state." Ribbentrop continued standing in front of Hitler.

"What do the Chinese want to say?" Hitler's words were a little cold. Although he admired China and hoped to form an alliance with China, it did not mean that he could tolerate others pointing fingers at him.

"He said that the main occupation of a leader of a country is a politician or strategist, not necessarily a military strategist or even a commander of a battle; Military talents with great ideas, there has never been an invincible enemy in the world, only the history of their own defeat." Ribbentrop said.

These words are indeed Wu Aihua's original words. For Germany to be attacked by the UK under such advantageous conditions, Wu Aihua was very disappointed with Germany, and it also reminded him of the history of the rise of Europe.The entire history of Europe is actually a history of industry, and how to establish a system suitable for large-scale industrial production.And when China also has an industry that is comparable to that of Europe, Chinese traditional culture, including military thinking, will surely shine far beyond European culture.

When Hitler carefully read all the suggestions made by the Chinese since the Battle of Dunkirk, the Chinese National Defense Forces fell into deep thought.History can only be seen in retrospect; those in authority are confused most of the time.

Among the many Chinese military proposals, 18 involved sea, land and air combat plans and tactics, and 5 involved troop building and training. The navy has done the best in adopting plans and tactics, so it has the best record. Well, the Armored Corps of the Army did the best and therefore the best results; the worst was the Air Force, because the Air Force did not adopt a single Chinese suggestion, and of those that were rejected, two-thirds Hitler himself denied it.About half of these proposals rejected by Hitler came from Goering, the air marshal's proposal.

"My God, look what I have done!" Hitler said with some self-blame.

However, Hitler's remorse did not allow him to weaken Goering's power.On the one hand, he personally condolences to the members of the Chinese Military Observer Group, and on the other hand, he established a mechanism to require all suggestions from the Chinese Military Observer Group to be backed up to the Office of the Head of State; the third is about the suggestions of the Chinese Military Observer Group , whether it is adopted or not, officers with decision-making authority must sign their own opinions on the proposal.

Wu Aihua didn't want to tear up his face with Hitler, but really hoped that Germany could achieve greater victories, because these victories are extremely beneficial to China's future strategy.Seeing that Hitler was subdued, a copy of the "Proposal for the Last Battle Against Great Britain" formulated by the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces together with the Navy and Air Force Staff was sent to Wilhelm Keitel, Chief of the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht. On the marshal's desk.

China's "Suggestions" pointed out that the battle against Britain is suitable for continuous and rapid offensives, which itself is also the combat style of the German army. If it becomes a protracted war, with the arrival of American aircraft and warships to aid Britain, the battle will be successful. A war of attrition extremely unfavorable to Germany.Therefore, the proposals in the "Proposal" are very clear: first, immediately resume the bombing of the UK; second, after the bombing achieves a certain effect, immediately implement a landing operation on the UK, even if a marine division or a marine regiment lands on the British mainland , It is also a heavy blow to Britain; third, when landing at sea, airborne landings can also be carried out; fourth, the German submarine force must do its best to block the landing battlefield; fifth, find agents within the United Kingdom to urge them to surrender.

China's proposal is based on the comparison of the military power between Germany and the United Kingdom in the present or in the next month.While the British night bombing was effective, the German losses were nothing.Before the war, the naval ratio between Germany and the United Kingdom was 3.5:5, that is to say, the German naval power was about 70% of that of the United Kingdom.Since the war, Britain has lost several battleships. In addition, Germany has obtained 10 warships from China that are more powerful and advanced than the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships. The ratio of battleships between Germany and the United Kingdom has reached 15: 9, while the ratio of aircraft carriers is 15:6, which is almost 2 German ships of the same type versus 1 British ship of the same type.

As for the landing operation, Wu Aihua suggested adopting the "wave-style warfare method", that is, when attacking the coast, attack in waves like waves, keep the firepower at a certain level, and attack continuously.In the army's landing force, the combination of small ships and landing craft is adopted, and naval guns provide fire support to the landing force at close range. As long as a company goes up to one place, the urgent task of this company is not to assault in depth, but to build on the spot Coastal fortifications, to meet the arrival of follow-up troops...
