Volume 4 of the Third Reich under Ten Thousand Characters: The Sorrow of France Chapter 37: Prelude 1

The special plane of Officer Donier landed slowly at the airport in Azbrook. The escorted Emirs circled in the air for two times and landed on another runway after obtaining the airport's landing permit. The airport became busy in an instant, and the staff rushed to use tools for inspection. This was a necessary step. The parts were worn too seriously during the war, and all the vehicles that did not undergo frequent inspections seemed so unreliable. The rigorous and meticulous Germanic national characteristics were fully demonstrated here.

Xu Yang walked slowly down the stairs. At first glance, the airport was full of various fighter jets. The fuselages of these fighter jets were being repainted and replaced with azure camouflage. Some crew maintenance personnel were busy changing parts under the fuselage, and some new equipment was installed on the abdomen of the fighter jet. The fighter pilot was sitting in a wooden box or something next to him, drinking drinks peacefully, and sometimes saying something to the crew maintenance personnel, obviously talking about which side of the fuselage needs to be strengthened.

An air lieutenant general was greeted by, followed by a string of generals, and the school-level officers were not entirely from the air force system. The army officers in gray uniforms even held a large stack of documents in their hands.

All officers saluted: "Your Excellency Commander, welcome back!"

Xu Yang likes such scenes. Those grassroots soldiers did not work intermittently because of their arrival. A small number of high-level officers can explain the specifications. Those flashy and untrue welcome scenes should not appear in their 15th Army. Xu walked forward and shook hands with the officers one by one, asking Lieutenant General Brook Air Force: "Is the modification going smoothly?"

According to the understanding of the Supreme Command, the French battle can be said to be over. In just over half a month, the German army wiped out a total of more than 100,000 coalition troops. More than 60,000 British and French coalition troops were captured, and the potential for war was hit. Now, Belgium and the Dutch army have become an objective existence. They either stayed in prison camps or have been eliminated.

The direction of the German war has begun to gradually shift. The implementation of the Dunkork plan requires a large number of torpedo attack aircraft. The German army's intention is to use the Allies' urgent hope to rescue the trapped troops and eliminate the living forces of the Allied forces. According to reliable intelligence, Britain transferred a large number of warships from overseas. It seems that there is something big. After analysis by the General Staff, Britain either wants to counterattack France or plan to use its superior sea power to transport the troops trapped in Dunkork back to the British Isles. Both are possible. The only point is that there is definitely no mistake in making more preparations.

Xu Yang, who knew history well, certainly knew what Churchill wanted to do, so he tried his best to drive the remnants of the coalition forces to Dunkorke. It took him a long time to conceive this combat plan. The only pity was that it was impossible to determine whether the giant ships of history would rotate according to their original trajectory. The waters of the English Channel were not suitable for submarine operations. The role of the 100 submarines gathered in Newport was not to directly cause damage to the enemy navy. Their role had been arranged by Xu Yang once proposed to kill British warships with shore-based cannons, but submitted them to the General Staff but was rejected. Those staff raised several very professional questions. For example, what caliber cannons need to participate in the war, the structure of the artillery array, and even asked how much time it took to prepare, so much time was there?

Braushich of the General Staff even said that it was difficult to establish. First of all, naval warships would not dock within the range of shore-based artillery. The commander of the British Navy could not be a rookie on the battlefield. The British army would only send small boats to pick up and drop off the coastal army, battleships, and heavy cruisers would definitely shoot the coastal tummy. The army's artillery would probably become scrap iron before it could fire. Just like the German Army's regulations on the bombardment of Lin Ze, the British Navy also had relevant regulations, that is, performing HNA missions during wartime, and they would definitely cover and shoot sections suspected of having enemies, and they would also be extended bombardment!

The front-line troops did not have too many large-caliber guns, and even if they were there, they would not be wasted in such battles. The reason is very simple. The caliber of the heavy artillery of the warships was 30 mm, and the caliber of some sub-cannons was more than 150 mm. The range was long and powerful, and the formation of the shore-based guns was fixed. Once fired, it would definitely attract counterattacks from heavy artillery of the warships, and steel and concrete fortifications were difficult to withstand such artillery. Not to mention the temporary fortifications built with sandbags and soil. The most important point is that the trans-ocean warships that were too deep wading in the waters of Dunkorke, and they would sink if they were too close.

The control of the sea in the English Channel is not in the hands of the German army. Any German ship near the English Channel will be attacked by the British Navy. Bry? This can only be done by the Air Force brothers. This is also the plan to modify the fighter jets. Some of Stuka's abdomen can carry 23 heavy mines. Dornier, Messer-Chmid, and Henkel have also carried out various modifications. They will be as hardworking as bees, but the mines left in the Calais waters.

Submerge them with the air force!

The same statement, different goals. The Luftwaffe confirmed something from past practical experience. The HNA aircraft has a very powerful sea-control capability, and no fleet can resist dense and overwhelming air attacks. Of course, the losses of the air force will be very heavy. According to Kesseling, even if five fighter jets are replaced with a trans-ocean warship is a very cost-effective thing. Kesseling is now incredible, and the performance of the Air Force has given him much face. With the continuous development and growth of the Air Force, he already has a momentum of: no other than me in such a battle.

Xu Yang did not return to the headquarters of the 15th Army, but stayed at the Air Force Airport to watch the modification process. In fact, Xu Yang was waiting for the next wave of e-323 giant bird transport aircraft, and the giant birds would take off from Berlin to transport leopards. 500 leopard black panthers couldn't wait to stand on their historical stage. Five battalions of leopards and three mechanized artillery regiments formed a SS armored division. What division? The number has not been issued yet, but one thing to note is that their soldiers are elite selected by the armed SS!

"The progress needs to be accelerated, and we don't have much time left. How are the modifications of other air bases going on

"The leader, the progress is quite slow. Recently, various army frequently requested support from the air force, and each army seemed to have encountered the French's desperate counterattack."

Fighting back to death? Xu Yang stood still, he looked up at the starry sky, as if he was talking to himself: "It seems that it's time to fight back, which means they are very anxious."

The only good news is that the Allies did not dispatch the air force again, and the air supremacy was on the German side. Xu Yang turned around and walked towards Ji's office, and he needed to know the specific situation.

"Oh... Rommel's troops are in trouble in Montreuil?" Xu Yang frowned. He didn't think anyone in northern France could stop Rommel's troops with superior forces. When he learned that the French were just hiding in the forest to ambush, Xu Yang frowned even deeper, which was not good news.

"Does the French know what guerrilla warfare is?" A ridiculous idea revolved around Xu Yang's head. He asked: "Which unit was taking over Rommel's troops to defend the Al area?"

Brooke replied: "Armies, the 1st Army of Sigmondlist."

Xu Yang nodded slowly, and said to the tone that the 2nd Army had not equipped the tank troops!" He suddenly felt something was wrong, so Huo stood up, "Help me connect with the General Command of the Army Group!"

In fact, Xu Yang’s worries are not the wind.

The Al area had just completed its defense change, and the 12th Army, which had just entered the Al area, was suddenly attacked by Montgomery's troops. The battle is still continuing. Montgomery fully utilized the defensive air strikes caused by the German army's defense change to intersperse and once advanced to the east bank of the Les River. He realized that the German army lacked armored forces and concentrated all the tank troops in his hands to specialize in a little.

The phone was connected, and the person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice. Xu Yang recognized Longdestedt's voice.

"Hello, I will do your Excellency."

"Brook...? Oh! Lord Stark!"

"Yes, Lord Longdstedt, I need to report to you a situation, your 12th Army..."

"They were attacked by the French army. If nothing special, I need to hang up the phone. Now I need to command the army group to make adjustments. Your current location is on the Air Force Base of Azbruk? If you want to help, please send more air forces to support him! My troops are now in a tough battle." A hurried report appeared on the other end of the phone, and then... the sound of the phone being disconnected.

Xu Yang's expression was stunned, as if he was suddenly choking when eating. "General Longdestedt is the only defense army general who doesn't sell my account. I like him!" Perhaps... it would be strange if he added a sentence at the end. He was extremely embarrassed.

The people in the office were very sensible and did not talk about this topic.

Xu Yang thought about it and said to Brooke: "Longdstedt is an extremely noble and proud general. His troops must be in trouble. How many air forces are there on standby?"

Brooke hesitated: "Yes...but we have sent two Stuka squadrons, and Ki needs to leave the reserve."

Xu Yang knew that Brooke’s current thoughts were nothing more than: General Longdestedt had offended Stark. Stark would definitely refuse to send more support troops if he asked this. It seems that it would be nice not to recall the support troops?

"Send it out! We are all Germanic soldiers!" Xu Yang's tone was not at all far-fetched.

Brooke's expression horse relaxed.
Chapter completed!
