Since the plan was named "Deer Hunting", the brand new unit was named "Deer Hunting Force", and the three commanders of this unit are quite interesting. I believe that when you see their names, you will know what kind of unit it is.

When sitting in the special car equipped because he had just been promoted to captain, Erwin. Rommel reads the "Deer Hunt Plan" in his hand. Because of his curiosity about the new troops, he first found the compilation table in the catalog.

"Heinz. William. Guderian, commander of the major, Fritz. Erich. Feng. Manstein is the chief of staff of the captain, and I, as for the deputy commander of this unit! OMG, who came up with this army ......! ”

Rommel, who had suffered from the attack of British tanks and armored vehicles, knew how powerful such an army really was. There was absolutely no separate infantry in this unit, only two regiments armed with "assault guns". Each regiment consisted of three assault gun battalions, two mechanized infantry battalions each, and a number of other subordinate units.

Looking at the resumes of the two main officers of this armored brigade, which is directly named the "Deer Hunting Force", it seems that there is no outstanding record, and it does not seem to be comparable to the process of personally leading the infantry to participate in the attack. Except for a slight dissatisfaction with the official arrangement, Rommel really couldn't find anything wrong with this "deer hunting force".

The two main regiments were equipped with a total of 450 "Cheetah assault guns" equipped with 37-mm cannons. In addition, the infantry battalion used armored vehicles, but the Germans had not yet received their orders from the Iron Wing Company in Batavia, because the Australian army was in too much of a hurry.

But from the testimony of the German crown prince and the victory in the Battle of Jutland, the German military has long believed that this company will become an arms giant that neither of the warring sides can afford to offend. Therefore, their pleading telegrams often made Tang Yunyang feel comfortable, so they would also give them some ideas to solve the current crisis.

The four battalions of mechanized infantry were equipped with wheeled armored vehicles modified from automobile chassis. Not only do they have full top armor, but they don't use any rubber tires. The tires mounted on these armoured vehicles, like those used on some German cannons, were three pairs of wide gear-like wheels.

The advantage of this is that these hollow wheels have sufficient strength and good off-road maneuverability, as well as the sealing body has a floating function.

On top of the hull was a twin 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun with a three-man turret. At the same time, a four-barreled rocket launcher is mounted on each side of the turret, which can be fired separately or in a salvo. The person in the turret can easily load rockets by simply opening the small door on the side of the turret.

This constitutes the most primitive "projectile in one" system, in which two weapons use the same sighting device. It is obvious that in this day and age, both against pillboxes and against infantry, such armored vehicles are sufficient.

Rommel's promotion was apparently achieved because of this suggestion and someone's recommendation.

In addition, the brigade is equipped with a lightly armed reconnaissance unit, which is armed with trikes and jeeps. As for the soldiers' weapons, they are mainly submachine guns and pistols for self-defense and sniper rifles, a special weapon for reconnaissance units.

By the time he had seen all this, Rommel had not bothered to read through the plan, and time was running out. But soon he was happy again, it turned out that this time the Germans planned to teach Xia Fei a hard lesson. Not only to defeat his attacking corps, but even to have a follow-up offensive plan, the final goal is to approach Paris!

As a young officer eager for promotion, Rommel longed to meet the man who made this plan.

He believed that if he could communicate with such an officer frequently, it would be of great benefit to his tactical cultivation. Moreover, if this plan can be realized, then it will not be difficult for his future in the army to achieve a bright future.

Soon, because he kept urging the driver who was driving for him, he soon met with the soldiers who had made this plan. And this soldier is now the chief of staff of the "Deer Hunting Unit".

Fritz. Erich. Feng. Manstein, Germany's most famous field marshal of World War II. It was because of his, the famous "Manstein Plan", that German troops could quietly pass through the Ardennes Forest area, appearing behind the French Martin Line.

The French army, which was quite powerful at the time, was defeated by the British Expeditionary Force in the ensuing battle. In the end, it was pursued to Dunkerker by Rommel's panzer division, and had to use the "mosquito fleet" to withdraw to the British.

And this "deer hunting" plan was formulated by him based on someone's simple four words. As a staff officer, he was well versed in making such plans. Now, before Rommel arrived, he looked at the battle map in front of him, and in his heart he was silently thinking about the four-word "mantra".

"Lure the enemy deeper!"

Ever since he heard these four characters, he has been wondering what the Chinese look like in these four Chinese characters.

"He is very familiar with the battlefield on the Western Front, and the British and French troops equipped with a large number of armored fighting vehicles will attack quite quickly, so ......"

He was silently thinking about it when the sound of boots came from behind him. He didn't have to look back, he was meticulous by nature, and he was already familiar with the other officer he partnered with, Heinz. William. Guderian.

His appearance is not outstanding, although he has a good education in the military school, but when he is excited, he still shows his straightforward pleasure from time to time.

"Hi my Chief of Staff sir, this is the army I want, this is it! My God, I don't know who created it, but I want to say that such an army is really powerful. ”

Manstein, who had aristocratic blood, spoke slowly and slowly. Facing his brigade commander, he bowed slightly, and his answer was tepid.

(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481; Email: [email protected]

"Yes, sir, this army is exciting, even when planning their attack!"

At this point, he paused, for another soul figure of the unit had just stepped into the command post. In an instant, Manstein grasped the characteristics of the other party, and his opinion came directly from the flexible eyes of the other party.

"If this guy is on the battlefield, he must be as cunning as a fox!"

"Report, Erwin. Rommel was ordered to report for duty! ”

Guderian's excitement subsided a little, and after saluting Rommel who saluted him, his subsequent words showed his enthusiasm.

"Captain Rommel, your arrival could not have come at a better time. There is a great shortage of qualified officers, and you know that we have to be ready in a short period of time, so ......"

"Yes sir, so I think it's almost impossible, we almost completely don't have time to train them!"

Guderian looked at the young Captain Rommel in front of him, and he could see that this was a guy who was good at using his brains. And the expression in his eyes always flashes with tenacity and fierceness. He moved his lips and spat out two words. He knows that the most important thing to communicate with his subordinates is to listen to their opinions.

"So ......"

"So, we don't have to train for night marching, we don't have to train for other terrains, we don't even have to do small arms shooting training, we're only going to do training for the terrain in front of us!"

Guderian nodded: "Yes, Captain Rommel, that's exactly what we did. Queue with light weapons training, we simply did not carry out! ”

What he noticed, others seemed to notice, and this did not dampen Captain Rommel's enthusiasm. Smiling slightly, he said something more noteworthy.

"And what about communications, sir, have you already started this kind of training?"

"Communication? Why, Mr. Captain, do you have any better proposals? ”

This sentence stopped Guderian, because he did not expect it. As a former in the communications battalion, he knew that neither the telephone nor the radio could keep the tanks in touch while they were moving.

"Yes, according to what I saw in the material, these assault guns had radio communication devices, which allowed us to convey our orders. The only thing that needs to be addressed is how they give feedback. Sir, I've read your information too, and I'm sure you've spent time in the communication camp, so there's a better way to do it......"

"Captain, I have to admit that you are a diligent thinker. And people like you have always been the kind of people I respect very much! ”

"Sir, and you, in my eyes, are even more of an excellent commander!"

The exchange of tactical ideas and operational concepts between good soldiers usually begins with the first meeting, and then quickly forms some kind of unbreakable friendship. Even military personnel on opposing sides can have this kind of friendship that transcends interests.

Fritz on the side. Erich. Feng. Manstein looked at the hands of the two people clasped together, and his heart was excited.

"Such a combination is a bizarre structure, could it be that the Chinese who said those four words said it?"

At the same time, as a chief of staff, he sketched the image of these two outstanding officers in front of him.

Guderian now focuses on the coordination between the troops, including the coordination of mechanized infantry and assault guns, artillery and assault guns. It is estimated that it will not be long before he notices the synergy of the air assault with the ground infantry.

And the cunning Captain Rommel, he was concerned with the tactical coordination of the troops. If Guderian could lead this force, then he could lead the main attacking force among them to the greatest victory.

"I really want to meet the Chinese, what prompted him to envision such an army with military revolutionary ideas, and he was able to put these ideas into practice by some means." My God, is there really such a military genius? ”
