Volume One: All for Germany! One hundred and ninety-eight. Rommel¡¯s counterattack plan

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Battle of Reims-Soissons, which broke out on April 6, 1917, was the war that the French were least willing to face.

    In this month of war, the French lost more than 100,000 troops.

    This is a shocking number.

    With a total of 100,000 casualties, the French army gained nothing. This was the biggest shame in the history of the French army.

    All German positions remain motionless!

    In the Zinoxi position, the Skeleton Commandos joined the battle from the first day of the battle. In one month, they could not count how many times they had repelled the enemy's attacks, let alone how many times they had killed them.  How many enemies were there.

    They only know one thing:

    Cinoxi is still in his hands!

    This is enough

    However, the price paid by the Skeleton Commandos was also huge. More than 380 members fell on their own positions forever. They could never see victory coming.

    This is the price that must be paid for victory

    The French army will not launch a new attack, but the German counterattack is coming!

    At this moment, something that even more frightened the French military leaders finally happened:

    The heavy casualties made the French soldiers seriously dissatisfied. The incompetence of the top military officials caused all this!  Anger is growing and dissatisfaction is spreading!

    On May 3, French soldiers on the front line mutinied!

    The soldiers who participated in the mutiny detained their officers, demanded negotiations with senior military officials, severely punished the perpetrators, and sent all senior officials who planned this spring offensive to a military court!

    This is the biggest crisis France has faced since the outbreak of World War I. Countless defeats on the battlefield can be endured, but mutiny will seriously shake the determination of the army and the people to resist to the end!

    Senior military officers decided to suppress the mutiny at all costs.  They first agreed to negotiate, and then while the mutinous soldiers were on alert, they suddenly launched an attack, rescued the detained officers, and then issued an ultimatum to the mutinous soldiers asking them to end the mutiny!

    Mutinies originally occurred without organization. The participating soldiers had no purpose and no organization. They just wanted to find an explanation for themselves.

    Once the government showed its ferocious face, they quickly became afraid. In less than an hour after the ultimatum was issued, all soldiers participating in the mutiny laid down their weapons and gave up resistance.

    The mutiny did not subside, nor did it cause any casualties. However, this sent a dangerous signal to France:

    The confidence of the army is collapsing!

    Moreover, this makes the general¡¯s low morale even lower, and no one is willing to take up arms and go to the battlefield anymore.

    At this point, the spring offensive organized by the French army completely failed. Those troops on the front line all received the same order and retreated from the battlefield in an orderly manner.

    These situations were sent to Wang Weiyi¡¯s hands immediately

    "The 21st Infantry Division and the 79th Infantry Brigade are retreating significantly. Now the remnants of the 79th Infantry Brigade, plus one battalion of French troops, are on the Laner line." Rommel pointed to the map and said: "Once our army launches a large-scale counterattack, Laner will  How about Ernst, who will become the French's first line of defense?"

    The officers nearby all knew what Rommel meant when he asked "how is it?"  Rommel also became a little "crazy" like Ernst Brahm.  He wants to capture Laner at this time!

    Manstein said cautiously: "A month of fighting has caused us to suffer heavy casualties. At the same time, the soldiers are very tired, and we have not received orders from our superiors."

    Wang Weiyi looked around. Indeed, the soldiers were very tired after a month of war.

    His eyes fell on the map, looked at it carefully, and after a long time he raised his head and said: "Lan'er is very beneficial to the defenders. If the French complete the retreat and re-reinforce the position, then we  The counterattack will encounter very big obstacles."

    He called all the soldiers to his side and explained the assault idea proposed by Rommel:

    "Actually, this has nothing to do with us. We are only responsible for defense, and the counterattack will be completed by other troops. Unfortunately, I can imagine that if the Laner position is allowed to be strengthened, countless German soldiers will fall like the French.  On the road to charge"

    His eyes slowly swept over the mountains of officers and soldiers:

    ¡°We have completed the defense mission beautifully, and now we can leave with pride and glory.Back home, no one can accuse us.  Of course, this is the first option¡±

    His words became a little lower: "We still have a second option, while the French are busy retreating and in chaos, resolutely counterattack ahead of most of them, and keep Laner firmly in our hands. But  , in this counterattack, some of you will survive the Zinoxi defense battle, but will die in the Laner attack battle. As your officer, I can't help in this matter.  You make your choice because your mission has been accomplished and the decision will be in your own hands.¡±

    The surviving team members were silent

    "Lieutenant Colonel, I'm following you, but I haven't killed enough French people yet!" Steck's voice was the first to break the silence.

    ¡°Count me in.¡± Bunkerelei followed suit.

    Guo Yunfeng raised his head and looked at Wang Weiyi, then smiled and said nothing. As for him, wherever the lieutenant colonel went, he would follow him.

    "Lieutenant Colonel, come on" "Lieutenant Colonel, hell, if I die in battle, I will curse you" "Lieutenant Colonel, what are you waiting for? Can't the German soldiers easily eliminate those cowardly and incompetent French?"

    ? One voice sounded, and one by one the soldiers grabbed weapons that they no longer needed to grab.

    Wang Weiyi let out a long breath: "The French suffered a disastrous defeat. What they are thinking about now is how to leave this place quickly, so although our number is small, we still have great hope of victory. Heinz, we still have  How many tanks are available?"

    "Two, but there is not much ammunition left." Guderian immediately replied: "There are still two that cannot be repaired."

    "Concentrate all the ammunition onto a tank and command it personally." Wang Weiyi issued his order: "All detachments are temporarily cancelled, and all are under my unified command. Follow the tank and launch an assault on the French army!"

    The team members listened to these orders calmly.

    "Lieutenant colonel, phone call, General Galwitz personally called."

    When the order was given, Hitler's voice came over.

    "Okay, let's all get ready. We'll launch the attack in an hour!" Wang Weiyi came to the phone: "General Galwitz, this is Ernst."

    "Lieutenant Colonel Ernst, you and your troops performed very well. You held the position for a full month. This is an incredible achievement. The Second Army congratulates you."

    "Thank you, General."

    "Lieutenant Colonel Ernst, now that the mission of the Skeleton Commando has been completed, you can leave Zinohi with honor."

    "General, I have an idea." Wang Weiyi calmed down his emotions: "I decided to lead my troops to attack Lan'er"!

    "What? Lieutenant Colonel Ernst, are you preparing for an assault?"

    "Yes, General, I have discussed it with my team members. We will conduct an assault before the enemy completes their positions to coordinate with the major counterattack."

    "Lieutenant Colonel, I have infinite admiration for your courage, but your troops have held on for such a long time and suffered such heavy casualties. Is it appropriate to counterattack at this time? I know the importance of Laner very well. If it is indeed  Capturing it before the French can perfect it will be of great help to our counterattack, but "

    "We are confident of capturing Laner!" Wang Weiyi answered without any hesitation: "The French are in defeat, and they have just had a mutiny. Their morale has reached the lowest point. We will plant our battle flag in Laner!  "

    General Galwitz on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Ernst, I must admit that I have never seen a more outstanding officer than you. You will bring supreme strength to the Second Army.  Proud. Your combat request has been approved. What kind of assistance do you need?"

    "General, I need to concentrate all the artillery fire in an hour and carry out a fierce bombardment with Laner as the center! The bombardment time shall not be less than twenty minutes, and at the same time, all the Skeleton Commandos will be dispatched!"

    "I will order the artillery to strictly follow your instructions. At the same time, I will also order the air force to dispatch! Lieutenant Colonel Ernst, I wish you good luck!"

    "Thank you, General!"

    Wang Weiyi calmly put down the phone.

    The soldiers were actively making preparations, and the wounded were left on the battlefield.  The team members involved in the operation must endure extreme fatigue and engage in a new attack.

    Erwin Rommel, who proposed this combat plan, seemed very calm. He continued to direct the soldiers there.What should the soldiers do.

    Soon, he will grow into one of the best officers in the German army.

    Elena came to Wang Weiyi and held his hand: "Ernst, you will become the greatest soldier in German history."

    She didn¡¯t mean it as a compliment, she meant it very seriously.

    And not many Germans would doubt this:

    One day, Ernst Brahm will become the greatest soldier in German history!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
