The spring breeze is blowing in April.
Guderian looked at the number plate in his hand speechlessly. He was chosen to become the commander of the attacking side.
I originally thought about being a humble person in the military academy, but my plan was disrupted by a wooden sign.
Zhu Zaiming, who was far away in Jinling, sat on the sofa in the telegraph room with a smile. He looked at the sand table in the room and smiled.
A group of staff officers were arranging the offensive and defensive positions on the sand table based on the telegram from Chongming Island.
More than 600 students were divided into red and blue armies, with the blue army defending and the red army attacking.
6,000 soldiers of the 1st Division and 1st Brigade put on military uniforms with red and blue logos, took wooden model firearms and prepared them in their respective camps.
Guderian came to the command tent and saw a group of German students with strange faces in silence in the tent.
At this moment, Guderian understood, and all the German students understood that their small actions were one-way and transparent in the eyes of the military academy instructors.
Although the military academy instructor did not point this out to anyone else, it still scared Guderian into a cold sweat.
Gandalf in the center patted Guderian on the shoulder and said jokingly: "Commander, please give us an order. How should we attack?"
Gandalf said, he looked at the surrounding referee team composed of instructors, and whispered in Guderian's ear: "Don't worry, I said hello, we paralyzed the actions of Britain, France, and Russia, and His Majesty the Ming Emperor acquiesced..."
Just this sentence made Guderian breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked at the sand table in the center and said to Gandalf: "Party leader...Mr. Gandalf, only the eastern defense zone of the Chongming Fortress Group has been put into practice. It was the first to complete construction. We know very little about the internal defense..."
Although the eastern defense zone of the Chongming Fortress Group has been built, in order to simulate a real battlefield environment, the General's Office did not provide drawings of the defense zone.
This puts the attacker at an absolute disadvantage.
As for whether the fortress defense has been leaked...
Zhu Zaiming actually hoped to leak the secret, because the entire eastern defense zone was a trap in the system, used to attract possible enemies to invest heavy troops.
Chongming Island is quiet.
After the exercise officially started, there was no lively battle as imagined.
Guderian wanted to control the points, not only to ensure that German students would not be persuaded to quit because of their credits, but also to give the opposing British and French forces an illusion.
That is the conductors of German international students. In their perception, they are always almost meaningless, wandering between being able to fight and being unable to fight.
There must be small victories on local battlefields and narrow defeats on the overall battlefield.
"It's difficult~"
Guderian frowned, and Heinrich and Gordon on the side kept moving their fingers on the sand table, planning their troops to prepare for the test.
The two sides lived in peace for two days.
In the past two days, both sides have been mobilizing supplies and arriving at the predetermined area. The soldiers have completed their formation and arranged their respective positions while preventing the opponent from sneak attacks.
In the early morning of the third day, Guderian fired a red flare into the sky.
The exercise begins.
A team of twelve people, led by squad leader Li Changxiao (guest star from the book club), slowly approached the enemy's position under the gray-black sky.
They lay on the ground and advanced tactically. From time to time, Li Changxiao picked up the binoculars and put them in his eyes to observe his opponents.
The open space in front of him was unobstructed. From any angle, it was a restricted area for the attacker.
Half a minute later, he turned around and said to Lin Hongri (book friend guest star) next to him: "Old Lin, take two people to go through the low-lying area on the right side and see how many blue hats there are here."
The blue hats refer to the soldiers of the defending side.
Lin Hongri nodded in response. He nodded at two relatively thin soldiers and walked around them from the side.
The three of them walked around the low-lying terrain and observed secretly in a small pit.
This place is very close to the outer positions of the fortress group. There are short wooden piles everywhere. These wooden piles are covered with layers of barbed wire. There are also several copper bells hanging on the barbed wire.
Lin Hongri frowned.
The same was true for the two students next to them. They looked at it for a while and found that the defense here was too watertight.
There is a risk of being discovered if you get close to observe, and if there is a heavy attack, there will be heavy casualties.
All three knew that once the charging soldiers were blocked by these barbed wire fences, what awaited them would be strangled by heavy machine guns and artillery.
The three of them silently returned along the original route and reported the situation here to Li Changxiao.
In the command tent, Guderian received reports from the frontline reconnaissance team one after another and marked them on the sand table.
He took a paper map and started drawing according to the scale, making a simple attack and defense diagram of both sides.
In a planned attack, many problems are actually mathematical problems.
There is always a gap between the plan in your mind and your actual actions.
Guderian will clearly mark various positions and the positions of his own soldiers based on the standard scale.
Calculate the time it takes for each unit to go to each position, calculate the flight time of artillery shells, and mark each unit's ability to attack various fortifications...
These data will form a database of his own troops. Guderian will select appropriate troops from the database based on the conditions of each position, and launch an attack or retreat at the appropriate time.
The first three days were almost spent on both sides investigating and understanding each other, and the basic offensive and defensive strategies were also gradually improved during this period.
In order to keep his credits, Guderian mobilized heavy troops and prepared to make a breakthrough on Position 4 at night.
Adopt the strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, and put on a false appearance of attack at position 1 to attract the enemy's attention and firepower.
Then concentrate on breaking through at position No. 4.
In fact, Guderian had a better idea, but considering that he wanted to paralyze the British, French and Russian students, this idea was deeply buried in his heart.
These outer trenches were a nightmare for infantry, but it was not too difficult for steam armored fighting vehicles to break through such defense zones.
If the steam armored combat vehicle used tracks instead of steel wheels, Guderian was confident that the armored forces could penetrate the fortress group within one day.
Guderian felt that Ming Dynasty seemed to have weakened the use of steam armored tanks intentionally or unintentionally.
These international students are always taught tactical ideas such as "mobile fort" and "fixed-point defense".
Only he would be called over by Chen Deng in the middle of the night to open a small stove and learn about the logistics and supply issues of armored assault.
Guderian actually knew in his heart that Ming and France were half-brothers on the surface, but in fact Ming had been secretly stumbling upon France.
In Europe, if France is strong, Ming Dynasty will stab its brothers.
If France falls into a disadvantage, Ming Dynasty will show its brotherhood and provide various assistance.
Mainly a pull.
Zhu Zaiming, who was far away in Jinling, smiled knowingly after receiving the telegram from Guderian that he was preparing for a night assault.
Daming, this girlfriend who was sent from heaven, is enjoying France and Germany behind her back.
"I hope that in a few years, Napoleon will not drop his little pearls..."
Zhu Zaiming thought about it and bought a lot of toys from Taishang Laojun and prepared to go back to the harem to entertain the children.
