Chapter 1249: Twenty-one. Clash into the door of Sedan (1)

Later generations of historians often talked about the series of battles that took place in the pastoral month that determined the fate of Charlemagne. They often praised the performance of the Defence Forces and degraded Charlemagne as much as they could.
Of course, there is a "victor is not to blame" factor, Charlie Man's performance is indeed difficult to refute. But ignoring the mystery of history and the mythical aura of "invincible defense forces", it is not difficult to find that there are many embarrassing and even embarrassing people at the beginning of the war when they are praised as "the most professional soldiers in that era." Performance, some of them can't make people believe that the elves known as obsessive-compulsive disorder will do it.
After the war, from the memoirs of the B group army officers to the officers, to the memories of the ordinary soldiers who were three points and seven points bragging, when referring to the operations in the Ardennes area, the two words that appeared most frequently were "disjoint" and "traffic jam" Those thrilling battles can only be ranked third.
In order to ensure the success of the raid, the General Staff and the B Group Army have spared no effort. All kinds of rehearsals and training have almost vomited blood. By the time of the final implementation, a series of minor and minor problems have occurred. In response, some "annoying flies (words of the guard of the guard)" were stumbled by the guard again, the consequences would be catastrophic, and the severity would even shake the national strategy for the next half century. It can be said that in the most tense hours, the relevant responsible persons were fighting for the death with the suicide note and potassium cyanide capsules. After the battle, the General Staff will have a dozen dozen diagnoses of gastric ulcers, the most serious ones. He was also diagnosed with liver problems and had to be hospitalized for several months.
The troubles encountered by the b group army are actually a bit weird. The reason for the various traffic jams and marching queues is actually because the opponents are too weak. The defenders who guard the transportation hubs have neither combat power nor the determination and will to fight to the end. A few People with these valuable qualities lacked psychological preparation. They were completely caught off guard by the sudden emergence of the enemy. They were run over by the tank tracks before they could figure out the situation.
In such a smooth start, the several armored units that were the pioneers did not know that the blood was surging or took more pills (the first armored division alone issued 20,000 strong stimulants), and only the pre-war thinking was left in the mind The importance of the mission and time urgency repeatedly emphasized at the mobilization meeting, a group of old drivers madly drag racing, the resistance of the enemy, coupled with the subsequent disconnected troops to speed up the march to grab time-within all expectations and The result of the unexpected interaction of factors is a traffic jam for 8 hours.
This is how the battle group composed of the 101st Experimental Heavy Armor Battalion and the Armored Grenadier arrived in Bastogne and quickly launched a surprise attack on the defenders without the support of artillery and air force. It stands to reason that it is not wise to do this without reconnaissance, but the intelligence personnel lurking in Bastogne have continuously sent the intelligence of the defenders in the town in real time, thus eliminating the pre-war reconnaissance link. In addition, the commanders of the battle group are sufficiently active (in a sense, they can also be called war mad). In order to occupy this transportation hub as soon as possible, they decided to let go. Launch a surprise attack on enemy troops that rely on fortifications.
Surprisingly, this seemingly brutal offense actually won a lot. When the next platoon of Tiger chariots under Lieutenant Bidderfeldt dashed towards the defending position like a whirlwind, the Charlemagne collapsed on the spot. There is only one transport company and a second-line garrison infantry company stationed here. The two companies cannot even gather two hundred people together. Half of them do not have guns. The rifles equipped are still used front-loaded flintlock muskets. There is one cannon, but if you count on a 6-pound small bronze gun and 14 tiger-shaped guns, except for the desperate cry of "We failed to penetrate the enemy's armor!" See more things.
Just kidding, when the well-known "Panfilov 28 Warriors" angered the German armored clusters, they still had 47 ㎜ "can openers", anti-tank guns, anti-tank grenades, anti-tank mines, and the opposite The Germans were all thin-skinned No. 3 and No. 4 tanks until they fell, which really cost the Germans a lot. You let a group of old soldiers with low morale take a front-loaded smoothbore gun and a 6-pound gun to fight a group of meows? Sing "Song of Onion" in unison? Please, the Charlemagne are sometimes a little crazy, but they are not stupid. Who would be willing to die in such a battle that seems meaningless and has no chance of winning? Before the 88 artillery spoke, the defenders dispersed as birds and beasts. I haven’t recovered yet. The mayor of Bastogne has wiped cold sweat while waving white handkerchiefs to surrender. At the same time, all the residents in the town have hung white sheets outside the windows-according to unknown The little news of the name, this is a symbol of obedience, as long as you hang out white sheets or white pants, ghosts and animals will not come to disturb you.
Therefore, Bastogne, the key town that determines the victory or defeat of the entire battle, fell into the hands of the defense forces with such a comedy and a little comedy. Throughout the entire process, the secret of the pilot battle group's victory is nothing more than solid intelligence work, speed and surprise-in fact this is also the epitome of the entire Charlemagne battle. In the following battles, the armored units and armored grenadier units also played commando roles similar to this assault~EbookFREE.me~According to the schedule, after taking Bastogne, lead the battle group The town should be immediately handed over to the engineers, gendarmerie, and railway troops, who will guide the traffic, and then continue on to the Maas.
However, as soon as I contacted the follow-up forces, the ticket only looked at the old driver who had been involved in drag racing and found out that he rushed too far and became a lone army deep into the enemy's back. The follow-up forces were on their way. After a few reprimands from General Kleist, the commander of the group army, he was pleased with their decisive actions and military achievements. The admiral ordered them to stay on the spot now and wait for the follow-up troops to come to the next target Libra Meng moved forward, and then rushed all the way to the town of Bouillon on the banks of the Maas, crossing the river in full swing.
The award-winning pilot battle group was immediately boosted by morale. They quickly began to clean up the site, remove obstacles blocking the road, send troops to control various facilities, post Anmin notices, contain prisoners... and wait for them to finish these things. For two and a half hours, I contacted the follow-up troops that were 30 kilometers away until now. But the big guy didn't care about it. After all, it was wartime, not peace marching. It was normal for something unexpected to be delayed. Many soldiers seize valuable time to maintain weapons and equipment and write war logs, and officers around the map study the next march route.
All the officers and soldiers are busy, and no one has thought that there is a group of people who are fighting for the land under their feet. They have never imagined that in the next few hours, they surrounded this Hundreds of soldiers, a series of dramas mixed with various tragic comedy elements will be staged one after another.
