These plans were rejected one by one by Lin Wei. Any plan should be effective according to local conditions. Some costly but impractical methods are obviously not what Lin Wei needs now. This method must highlight two characteristics, that is, "simple and practical!"
Suddenly, a trick used by Germany's long-term rival, the United States in later generations, appeared in Lin Wei's mind. This method is fully applicable to the two conditions proposed by Lin Wei, that is, it is simple and practical. That's Poker Wanted. After the United States conquered Iraq, many senior Iraqi officials, including Saddam, and many important Iraqi figures who were valuable to the US military, took advantage of the chaos to disperse and hide, making it very difficult for the US military to search. Therefore, the Pentagon printed a "Playing Card Wanted" and distributed it to officers and soldiers stationed in Iraq on April 11, 2003, hoping to find these senior officials of the former Iraqi regime by comparing the relevant information on the playing cards.
Lin Wei thought of a way and immediately said with confidence, "Robert C. Crawford ordered the printing house to print photos of senior officials of the Norwegian royal family and government on playing cards and send them to all German stores in Norway. In the hands of the army, the title of the wanted person is printed on the top of the photo, and the reward amount is printed on the bottom! The name of this set of playing cards is called Playing Card Wanted!"
Robert C. Crawford's eyes lit up and he said, "Leader, this is really a good idea! I believe good news will come from Norway soon!"
"This is far from enough!" Lin Wei mused, "Our army is not yet able to adapt to this cat-and-mouse fighting style, so it is imperative to specialize in this tactic. After this battle against France is over, We must set up a force specifically responsible for this form, instead of using a large number of troops to engage in such meaningless operations, which can only waste our precious military power!" When Lin Wei said these words, he looked around After taking a look at the military police around him, although these military police were already selected from a hundred and were chosen to protect Lin Wei, Lin Wei still shook his head slightly and said to himself: "These people cannot meet the requirements of special operations."
Although special operations mainly refer to battles and other special operations that specialize in carrying out raids and destroying the enemy's important military, political, economic and other targets. Operations conducted by special forces or units temporarily assigned special operations tasks to achieve specific goals or objectives, such as airborne operations, landing operations, hostage rescue operations, and operations against enemy leaders, important military facilities, and other key targets. But it's not like what most people imagine, just train your body into a muscular man, run 100 meters within ten seconds, and torture your body like iron. Special operations is more about the ability to respond to changes, rather than a good body.
There is almost no good way to deal with unequal wars such as guerrilla warfare. Only small and elite special forces can be dispatched to contain this kind of war. The best way to deal with guerrilla warfare does not depend on the strength of military power. Rather, it depends on the amount of economic power. In other words, if you can make the people in the occupied areas live a good life and ensure that they have enough food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if there are the most incited people, no one will rise up to fight. No one will let go of the good life and be willing to live that kind of life at any time. Facing the day of death. If your economic power is strong enough and you successfully gain the trust of the people in the occupied area, even if the loser does not give up resistance and still carries out such asymmetric operations, it will not get the support of the original citizens. At this time, the guerrillas will Got a new name, terrorist.
But now Germany obviously does not have such strong economic strength to develop the economy of the occupied areas. Therefore, before the end of the war, no matter in each occupying country, this kind of anti-German guerrillas will exist for a long time. Germany currently has no special method to deal with this kind of guerrillas, and the method it relies on is still old-fashioned large-scale encirclement and suppression. Such a waste of precious military power. It's simply a joke about Germany's future destiny.
"Okay, let's talk about these things later!" Lin Wei waved his hand and said, "What we should be concerned about now is how our national defense forces can break through the Belgian defense line and cut the British and French coalition forces and the Belgian army into pieces. Now that we have two, without the Belgians getting in the way, I think it will be much easier for us to achieve our goal!"
"Leader, as long as General Bock cuts off the connection between the Belgian army and the British and French forces! With the cooperation of the armored group, these British will be dead!" Robert C. Crawford said excitedly.
Lin Wei, who had been walking forward, suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "I hope so!" Hit? Lin Wei could now guess why Le finally ordered the armored group to give up the offensive, based on his own knowledge. But considering the heavy cost of letting go of the British Expeditionary Force, Lin Wei still had to give it a try.
The heavy losses of the armored cluster may affect the subsequent decisive battle with France, but that will only delay France for a while. The war may be extended for a while, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation. If the British Expeditionary Force is let go, it will not be as simple as prolonging the war for a period of time.
Before getting into his car, Lin Wei took a moment to look at his watch. The current time was 17:52 on May 25, 1940, which was one day away from the time in history when British Prime Minister Churchill started the generator operation. "Starting from tomorrow, I will have my first battle with fate!" Lin Wei secretly thought while sitting in the car. If Lin Wei hadn't still had some concerns and couldn't let others see that he could predict the British actions, he would have used all the power in his hands to prevent British rescue in advance.
Lin Wei didn't want people to discover that he had the ability to predict the future. Although Hit? He believed so much in the theory of the Aryan superman that even now the psychiatrists and accountants left behind by Himmler are still in a department of the SS. But what do people with some brains, especially ordinary people, think of themselves? If the British discover something abnormal about Lin Wei, Lin Wei may have to face 007's assassination every day in the future.
At this time, the Western Armored Group, after conquering Abbeville and besieging Calais at Boulogne, had reached the Canal de l'Agna, which is only 20 miles away from Dunkirk. The Belgian army, 9 divisions of the British Expeditionary Force and 10 divisions of the French First Army were all caught in the middle. Although the southern end of the encirclement was crisscrossed by canals, ditches and flooded areas, and the terrain was not conducive to tank operations, Guderian and Reinhard's Panzer Corps had already established a major position on the coast between Gravelines and Saint-Omer. One of the obstacles - five bridgeheads were established on the other side of the Agcan Canal, preparing to give the Allies a thorough blow, so that they would be flanked by the German Sixth Army and the Eighteenth Army advancing from the northeast, thereby completely annihilating them.
Already got Hit? Why did Guderian, who was demanding orders, start attacking again? The facts are often unexpected. It proves that Lin Wei still underestimates the generals of the Wehrmacht. The commander of Army Group A, General Rundstedt, has already followed Hitt's instructions? At Le's request, Guderian was ordered to stop advancing. Whether it is the chief of staff, the commander, or other influential generals in the Wehrmacht, who will eventually be in Hit? Under high pressure from Le, they all agreed with Hit? Le's move.
But Hit? When commanding the war, the sergeant relied largely on his own intuition. At this time, Hit? Le, suddenly felt the danger in Dunkirk again. So he ordered Guderian's armored forces to advance. So in the early morning of May 25th, the German high command authorized Rundstedt to cross the canal line, but he did not take any action until the 26th. Hitt? Le personally intervened and ordered the attack to continue in the direction of Tauerlay-Kassel-Dunkirk. Regarding the suspension this time, Hit? Le's responsibility has been completely misunderstood. He did not take the initiative to make this suggestion on the 24th, because Rundstedt had already issued the order on the 23rd. He only agreed with Rundstedt's suggestion. Regarding the actions on the 25th and 26th, he made no provisions, because he specifically authorized Rundstedt to decide on the next action. But he did bear 'personal' responsibility for ending the pause and ordering the continuation of the attack on the 27th.
In the early morning of May 26, as dawn broke, the German army's artillery positions fired thousands of cannons. The roar of these cannons heralded the beginning of the battle for the German army to forcefully cross the Lys River, defeat the Belgian army, and encircle and annihilate the British and French coalition forces. As accurately calculated, when the bombardment had just begun, the Belgian army on the other side of the river had already heard the sound of large-scale Stuka dive bombers from the German side. In areas beyond the reach of artillery fire, Stuka dive bombers dived with their unique scream.
When Rundstedt's Army Group A resumed its advance, General Bock's Army Group B also advanced at the same time. Army Group B faced the Belgian General Galt, the Skeleton Division and the Sixth Army. When the two armored divisions, including the armored forces, quickly tore apart the defense line on the Reese River in Belgium, General Galt immediately ordered the Belgian army to counterattack, because General Galt discovered that if General Bock was allowed to expand this successful result as much as possible, he would immediately It was enough to cut off the British army's retreat to the sea. Therefore, General Galt immediately gave up all thoughts of counterattack and ordered the troops of the 5th and 15th Divisions under his control to fill this gap. The reason why he did this was entirely based on his own initiative. If not, the entire British Expeditionary Force would have been annihilated.
