Yugoslavia's strategy of shrinking its defense line is undoubtedly beneficial to the German Wehrmacht.
However, this choice of Yugoslavia was not advisable. In the opinion of later generations of experts, the first-line defense was indeed easily broken through and destroyed by the mobile and flexible German Wehrmacht.
However, military historians must admit that any strategy of giving up the country without firing a shot is impossible to adopt. In other words, this is just a scholarly opinion and is completely divorced from political reality.
No government in modern society has ever done such a thing, and cannot afford to pay the price of choosing this approach.
Listening to Randall's wish to speed up, Li Qing looked helplessly at the long march on the road: "In this case, we can't speed up at all, there are too many people and vehicles on the road! "
On the road, the trucks and infantry in front couldn't get up quickly, and the tanks following behind were also very suffocating. Li Qing lay on the tank turret and staggered to the point of almost falling asleep.
Randall suggested: "Maybe... we can avoid taking the road?"
"It seems okay in the wilderness, but no one knows what the situation is like inside. If we encounter a swamp or other landform, it may look good on the surface, but in fact the grass underneath is extremely soft. If we accidentally fall into it, we will be in trouble. Big.”
"And your destroyer's off-road performance is not good. If it can't increase its speed, there is no point in walking through the wasteland!" Li Qing had her own considerations and answered Randall's question.
Monkey interrupted at this time: "Isn't this great? Just follow them around easily, and when they defeat them, we can follow them directly into the city! Is there any need to rush and suffer?"
Li Qing said seriously to the monkey: "You said it lightly. The order has been issued. How can we not go there quickly? Otherwise, the staff department still doesn't know how to arrange it? Those people in the staff department will not listen to your explanation! It's stipulated. If you run out of time, you are disobeying military orders..."
"Here I go, is it true or not? So inhumane?"
"What do you think? You should paddle when you should paddle, and you should be less careful when you can't paddle. Can you be more attentive?"
"Are you scared? Have you forgotten where we came from? After completing the system's tasks, we will go home and enjoy ourselves. Why do we think so much?" Monkey said nonchalantly.
"Then you want to keep wandering on the road like this?"
"I do not want……"
Sure enough, just as Li Qing thought, monkeys can't focus on something all the time.
Randall's voice came from the radio: "How about we get off the highway? It's faster than on the highway. It's too congested!"
"Well, this is also a way. Let's do it like this first!" Li Qing made a decision. Although it is not a very good way, it is better than doing nothing.
Then a group of five tanks got off the road and marched in the wilderness beside the road. Not to mention, it was slightly faster than walking on the road.
"Speaking of which, are there any trails for us to copy? There's no way there won't be people in this wilderness, right?" Monkey then came up with a new idea.
After hearing this, Li Qing also felt that there should be a path. He relayed the words to Randall and made a suggestion: "...Have we done any reconnaissance in this wasteland? Can you ask the staff to see if there is any What shortcut can allow us to overtake!"
After a while, Randall's voice came: "According to the people in the staff department, there is indeed such a shortcut, but the road condition is not very good. Some carriages may have passed by before, but I am not sure whether it can be used by vehicles!"
"Oh? Really? I think we can try it. Where is it?" Li Qing was overjoyed after hearing this. The tank ran at the speed of a turtle, and the feeling of riding a rocking car was really boring.
"It's on the north side of the highway, about 500 meters away. It's basically parallel to the highway. It's an old road. After the highway was built, there were fewer people walking there, but there are still many people who want to take a shortcut there because it's an almost abandoned road. The road has almost no maintenance, and the condition of the road can be imagined.”
"Is it the old road? That's better. It means that the roadbed is okay. It may not be possible to take a car. For tanks, is it still a problem? Where does this road lead?"
Randall understood the situation very clearly: "It used to lead to Sarajevo, but the area near Sarajevo has been replaced by a new highway, so if you keep walking along the old road, you will intersect with the highway three times and finally reach the west of Sarajevo. About fifty kilometers on the road..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Just take the old road, hoping to save some time..." Li Qing gave orders to each crew on the radio.
All the crew members were also jumping for joy, and they were probably frustrated by the slow speed.
The old road is easy to find. You turn around from the side of the road and drive vertically. After a while, you see a shabby dirt road. The path is not wide, about five or six meters long, and it winds on both sides with no end in sight.
The path is more like a road formed naturally when there are too many people walking on it. It is bumpy and covered with a thick layer of floating soil. This is the kind of road that is said to be "covered in gray when it is sunny, and covered in mud when it rains".
The light green and blue flowers popping up on the roadside are dotted with them, which has a unique flavor.
Although the tanks walking on this kind of road are more like off-road, in the past few days, everyone has hardly walked on any good roads. The speed has increased, but it has made everyone's interest high.
When I feel relaxed, I feel that there is not a tree or a cloud that is not beautiful, just like life here.
The entire team members stood in the carriage and looked at the wilderness scenery with great interest, facing the bright sun and blowing the cool breeze. Some even sang songs at the top of their lungs, which attracted several people to join in. It was very pleasant.
"Are these guys here for a spring outing? What are they singing? It's not nice at all..." There was a faint smile on the corner of the monkey's mouth, and he looked very relaxed.
Li Qing was also looking at the surrounding scenery. The open scenery really made people feel relaxed. Occasionally he glanced at the system map and said nonchalantly: "There is no danger around. There is nothing wrong with relaxing occasionally. After all, they are still young people." !”
"It sounds like we are how old we are, the older one is only five or six years old..."
"When you are two years old, you are one generation old, and when you are five or six years old, it is almost three years old. In the army, we call them veterans, and they call them new recruits..."
"Speaking of which, we just talked about the spring outing. It's almost noon now. Should we find a place for a picnic? I haven't had a good meal in the past few days. What did I eat last night? Canned food is a rare delicacy. , and it’s also limited, my god...what kind of life are you living like this..."
