Chapter 449: Hangzhou Strategy (4)
"Your Excellency General, I hope to be discharged from the hospital and return to my troops as soon as possible, I hope you can approve it!"
After Su Jin came to the ward, Adele's first sentence startled him.
Seeing this German beauty with a plaster cast on her left hand shouting to be discharged from the hospital, it really startled our Chief Su.
"This is not good, the doctor said, you must recuperate for a month from this injury, otherwise you will never be discharged from the hospital!" Su Jin's head shook like a rattle.
"A month? In a month, the battle will be over a long time ago! Adele's big eyes showed a look of longing, "Your Excellency, I am only injured in the arm now, this does not affect my command of the battle, you let me return to the front line, my armored battalion can't live without me!" ”
"No one in this world is indispensable!" Su Jin's expression was a little unhappy, and the two of them suddenly became serious: "Major, you think too highly of yourself, this world will turn away from everyone, and the same is true for the first battalion, if a unit cannot fight without one person, it means that this army is too fragile, then there is no need for it to exist." ”
Su Jin's words were very serious, Adele was not a stupid person, she naturally heard the meaning of Su Jin's words, Su Jin was criticizing herself in a different way, when she thought of her hard work for the development of the armored regiment, but in the end she was said so, her eyes turned red, and tears in her big eyes were about to flow out.
"Huh...... What are you doing, what are you crying about? What if people see me and think I'm bullying you? Su Jin saw that this foreign girl who had been as proud as a swan since he met was rarely in tears, and he didn't get used to it all of a sudden, and he was a little panicked, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.
Adele didn't take the handkerchief, but stared at Su Jin with a pair of big eyes, and asked while twitching, "General, can't you really agree to my request?" ”
"No way!" Su Jin's attitude on this issue was resolute, "This diagnosis is Ciceli. Dr. Morse, that is, your mother and my wife, Dr. Michaeus, did it. They're experts at that, and you have to follow their instructions, you know? ”
Looking at Su Jin's expression, Adele obviously knew that she couldn't change his decision no matter what, and she looked very disappointed, her eyes darkened, and she said after a long time: "In that case, can you do me a favor?" ”
Su Jin nodded: "Of course, as long as I can do it!" ”
"Can you ...... Can you send someone to send me to Hangzhou...... I don't mean what I thought. Seeing Su Jin's eyes widen, she quickly explained: "I'm not going to fight, I'm ...... I just wanted to see with my own eyes the entry of our armored forces into the city of Hangzhou. ”
"You...... Is it necessary to be so persistent? Hearing this, Su Jin couldn't help but cry and laugh, "Adele, I know that you have put a lot of effort into the armored regiment, but you must know that our war with Japan has just begun, and there are still battles to be fought in the future, why do you have to participate in this battle?" ”
"Because I don't worry about them." Adele lowered her head faintly: "Your Excellency General, you don't know, although I was an instructor in the armored forces when I was in Germany, I was actually just teaching the soldiers some theoretical knowledge and mechanical knowledge, and this is already the best result my father can get for me, those generals of the German Army will never hand over such an elite armored force to a woman to command." After my mother's Jewishness was revealed and my family was forced to leave the army, I once thought that I would never have the opportunity to serve in the armored forces again in my life, but what I didn't expect was that my dream would come true in a foreign land thousands of miles away. Morse name, I'm going to make those who once looked down on me bow their proud heads! Therefore, even if I cannot personally command the armored troops to drive into the city of Hangzhou, I must witness this moment with my own eyes. ”
Looking at the unwavering look on Adele's face, Su Jin understood that he had met a female man. Compared to her, those strong women and men in later generations are really weak, they are at best a few business orders in the mall, or develop a company, this guy is better, directly with armored tracks and artillery to announce to the world that I am here.
"Okay!" Su Jin covered his forehead and asked helplessly, "Have you told your mother about this idea?" ”
"Not yet!" Adele said calmly: "If I asked myself, my mother would definitely not agree, so I called you." ”
"Hey......" Su Jin pointed to his face and asked, "Do you think I'm so like a black pot man?" ”
"What cauldron?" Adele was obviously confused about the noun from later generations, and stared at Su Jin with a pair of big eyes, and a stupid expression appeared on the face of this female man who has always shown her strong side.
"Well, it doesn't matter." Seeing the look on Adele's face, Su Jin actually had the slightest urge to laugh, and he quickly changed the topic: "In that case, then I can try to talk to your mother, if she agrees, I don't think I will mind, anyway, I will go to Hangzhou in person." ”
"What...... Are you going to personally go to Hangzhou to command the operation? Could it be that something has changed in the battle ahead? Adele is a smart girl, and she immediately heard something else from Su Jin's words, because she knew very well that since the expansion of the 202nd Army, Su Jin has rarely been on the front line to command battles, and under normal circumstances, he will delegate command to the officers below to let them play freely, even if it is attacking a city like Jinhua.
"Yes!" Su Jin didn't want to hide it, so he said calmly: "Li Wei and your father came to report that the Japanese army in Hangzhou had raided all the boats along the river, and the only bridge on the Qiantang River was blown up a few years ago, and the only way for us to cross the river was to build a pontoon bridge." However, the Japanese blocked the river with artillery, so the present situation suddenly became troublesome, and if we waited until the Japanese reinforcements arrived, our plan to capture Hangzhou would be aborted. ”
"That's the disadvantage of not having a navy." Adele also shook her head helplessly: "The sea of China has completely been reduced to the inland sea of the Japanese, if we also have a navy, even if it is a weak navy, this matter is nothing at all, just a few destroyers and transport ships can solve all the problems." ”
"Don't patronize and laugh at me." Su Jin retorted uncomfortably: "Germany is not the same, if Germany's high seas fleet can compete for some gas, the current Germany will not vigorously develop submarines." ”
Hearing this, Adele immediately fell silent, the Battle of Jutland is an eternal pain in everyone's hearts. It can be said that the British completely broke the backbone of the German Navy through this naval battle, and since then the German Navy has never had the courage to form a large surface fleet to fight a decisive battle with Britain and the United States, but has played unlimited submarine warfare, which is to use the concealment of submarines to carry out indiscriminate attacks. It is a sad that a navy does not dare to allow surface ships to engage the enemy's navy, but instead plays with submarines, which in itself is a sign of weakness, while the Germans played this tactic in both World War I and World War II.
Fortunately, Su Jin didn't say much, but turned around and walked out of the ward. Adele didn't know how Su Jin persuaded her mother, but half an hour later her mother, Dr. Cicely, entered the ward, carefully instructed Adele for a long time, and made her agree to some conditions, before finally announcing that she could follow Su Jin to the front line in Hangzhou.
Feeling that time was pressing, Su Jin did not follow the ground troops, but took the Ju52 transport plane nicknamed "Aunt Junker" and rushed to the front line in Hangzhou an hour later under the escort of a squad of Wildcat fighters......
"Is this what you came up with?"
In a private house in Xiaoshan County, less than a kilometer away from the north bank of the Qiantang River, Su Jin, who had finished reading a battle plan, looked at Li Wei, who was standing in front of him with a nervous expression, and said lightly: "Mobilize heavy artillery to bombard the Japanese, block the Japanese artillery units on the other side with aircraft, and then 20,000 troops will sit here and watch the excitement, this is the plan that you Li Wei came up with?" ”
The more Su Jin said, the louder his voice became, "I told you a long time ago that you are not a battalion commander or a regiment commander now, but a division commander commanding an army of 20,000 people, and your decision is related to the life and death of thousands of soldiers, as well as the success or failure of this battle and the recovery of Hangzhou. ”
Listening to Su Jin's merciless scolding, Li Wei, who always looks unruly on weekdays, was so ashamed that he almost shrank his head into the crotch of his pants, seeing Li Wei's appearance, Fred on the side stepped forward a little unbearably and said: "Your Excellency General, I am also responsible for this matter, in fact, we have discussed it for a long time and every time we can come up with a practical way, we can only rely on the advantage of firepower to forcibly suppress it." ”
"That's not a reason!" Su Jinyi waved his hand: "I scolded him today because he is still too conservative from the perspective of this battle plan, have you ever thought about it, even if we can suppress the Japanese artillery during the day with heavy artillery and aircraft, what should we do at night?" As long as the Japanese quietly sent a dozen artillery pieces on the opposite bank at night to fire a round of shells at the center of the river, it was very likely that all the day's work of the Funahashi troops would be destroyed.
