Three hundred and tenth chapter character problem
On March 1, 1944, after suffering huge casualties, the Allied forces finally completely cleared the Germans on the Normandy beach and completed the predetermined combat target. But as soon as they rushed into the fortification, they were first greeted by bombs buried by the Germans.
As early as when the German army was constructing the beach fortifications, they installed countless high-explosion medicines in the most vulnerable places inside the fortifications. Marshal Gesiyun also asked the logistics department to find various medicines left by the French army that year, many medicines were even produced during the war. These very dangerous explosives, as well as a large number of expired grenades, shells, and mines were buried deep under the fortifications.
According to Marshal Gesiyun, he wanted to welcome the arrival of the Allies in the most (warm) way and prevent the Allies from pursuing the retreating Germans.
When the last German soldier on the fortification retreated safely, the last engineer who left pressed the detonation device that had been prepared long ago.
Suddenly, the most intense explosion was trembling inside the fortifications of the entire beach. The explosion waves that could destroy everything roared and collided from the inside to the outside. The already dilapidated beach fortifications could not withstand this impact from the inside to the outside. The top of the fortifications burst out like a volcanic eruption. The hot concrete fragments accompanied by the surging waves of fire, the goddess was thrown into the sky like a flower, and then fell to the beach.
The sudden explosion and stone rain took countless lives in this moment. None of the Allied soldiers who entered the fortification came out again. They all entered death at the moment when the fortification exploded. The Allied soldiers on the beach were also killed in the splashing stone rain and injured countless times.
The Germans left the most terrible gift, which severely damaged the Allies, which were enjoying victory, greatly delayed the Allies' future military operations, and forced the Allies to spend more time to rescue soldiers and make up for the losses caused by the self-destruction of the beach fortifications.
After the roar of a shrewd explosion, the Normandy beach finally became quiet. It was as calm as a virgin, but an extremely ugly virgin. Two days of steel raging, after the explosion, the originally beautiful and peaceful Normandy beach, which was as beautiful as a picturesque scenery, became a lifeless ruin.
Potholes can be seen everywhere, and blood flows into streams on the devastated beaches. There are also steel burning on the beach and corpses covered with sand, making the entire Normandy beach a basin of death. I believe that Americans will always remember this beach because the lives of tens of thousands of American soldiers were buried here. After the post-war statistics, 21,000 American soldiers alone died directly on the beach, and countless injured people were killed. The Germans will always remember this because this is the place where they shot the most Allies at once, and they led the bloodiest massacre here.
After the Allies occupied the beach, the main force of the German army also retreated to the small city connecting the transportation hub of Normandy, Caen. With this French city as the core, a new line of defense began to be built. At the same time, several main divisions of the Seventh Army and several coastal defense divisions under the 15th Army also arrived in the Normandy area and began to cooperate with Marshal Gesyun's deep defense. However, facing the main forces of the Allied forces that landed one after another, the Germans' forces still seemed too weak. Whether they could block the Allied attack was still unknown, but history will prove everything.
On March 3, the third day after the Allied Army landed, the Allied Army sent 350,000 troops and a large number of technical troops to the beach in Normandy. But to everyone's surprise, after the Allied Army landed fully, only gathered its troops on the beach, and did not intend to advance in depth. It only built solid field fortifications around the beach to prevent the German army from counterattacking. The Germans did not have any counterattack action, but just watched the Allied Army transport troops to Shanghai in batches.
The two sides formed a situation in the Normandy area where all military strategists were broken. The Allies did not attack or expanded the results of landings. The Germans did not take back the beach, and only stayed dozens of kilometers from the beach to bask in the warm spring sun in France. The two sides stared at each other in the Normandy area with big eyes, just like the stupid man and the benze woman who had first met and had a blind date, shyly did not dare to look directly at each other.
Jinda leaned on the French bench made of fragrant wood, holding a glass cup full of colorful patterns in her hand. The cup contained Coca-Cola seized from American paratroopers. After seeing this Coca-Cola, Jinda was really excited for a long time, and was as happy as if she had just joined a beautiful virgin. Unexpectedly, she could still drink Coca-Cola, which was so cool!
Kaneda couldn't help but envy those American soldiers. The Americans' logistics were so powerful. Even Coca-Cola could be sent to the front line, which is truly a luxury capitalist country.
When Jintian was interested in finding Coca-Cola, the German generals sitting in front of Jintian were a little annoyed. Although there was a glass of black Coca-Cola in front of them, these generals seemed not interested in Coke. They just watched Marshal Ge Siyun's every move and Marshal Ge Siyun savor the deliciousness of Coca-Cola, as if a trumpet flower grew on Marshal Ge Siyun's face.
Jinda soon noticed the strangeness of his generals. Although he understood that the people in front of him were not glass or homosexual, it was really uncomfortable to be stared at by a group of big men. If it were replaced by a beautiful woman with big butts, it would be great. "Why do you all look at me like this? Look at your eyes, it seems that there is a lot to say. If you have something to say, I am very democratic."
Everyone was choking and didn't know how to speak. Colonel August took the lead and asked, "Martyr Gesyun, the main force of the Seventh Army has arrived at the designated location, and the troops transferred by the 15th Army have also reached the Normandy area. We now have a certain counterattack force, why not launch a counterattack? With our current strength, although we cannot dare to put the Allied troops in the sea, it can still be severely damaged and disrupted the Allied troops."
"Yes! Marshal Gesyun, let my Tiger King Tank Battalion and Cheetah Tank Destroyer Battalion attack! I have 80 Tiger King Tanks and 80 Cheetah Tank Destroyer in my hand, which can fully attack the Allies. If you are afraid of losses, I can attack at night. My tanks are equipped with infrared devices, so I have the ability to severely damage the Allies at night." Armored Major General Black Jack also looked eager to fight and asked Marshal Gesyun to issue an order immediately.
Kimda smiled mysteriously, did not agree with his subordinates' suggestions, nor did he object. Instead, he just drank a glass of Coca-Cola and said leisurely, "I understand what you mean. You are still afraid of the Allies' combat power and the Allies' transport more troops to the ground. But my idea is different from yours. I want to let more Allies land so that we can capture more Allied soldiers in the future in exchange for greater benefits."
As he said that, Jintian poured Coke on again and tasted it alone.
"Marson Gerthyun, is it really good for us?" Constantine also asked in an objection tone, "We all understand your grand strategy, but I think we should take advantage of the situation where the Allies have not yet established a stable foothold and make them attack several times. The Allies cry and cry for their parents. Even if they are not destroyed, they should not be at ease, let them sacrifice more soldiers and weaken the Allies' combat capabilities as much as possible."
"Yes! Marshal Ge Siyun, I still say the same thing, let my troops attack! My armored troops have been resting for more than a month, and they just wipe the tanks all day long. All the tanks are as bright as glass. It's boring!" Major General Jack took the opportunity to ask for an attack.
Seeing Jack's fighting spirit and seeing the generals eager to fight, Kimda replied casually, "I'm still the same thing. Before the time comes, I will not send troops to fight back. I have to wait for a special opportunity to launch a counterattack. Now is not the time, I want to keep the trump card in my hand. Especially the Tiger King Tank Battalion and the Cheetah Tank Destroyer Battalion, I will never use it unless I have to. General Jack, please wait patiently. Good steel must be used on the blade. You will have some battles in the future, and you will be happy to you. Now the time is not here, don't ask again."
"Oh," Major General Jack did not say anything and sat back in his seat. However, he was still unwilling to give up and blinked at Constantine, hoping that he could persuade Marshal Ge Siyun.
Constantine had to shrugge her shoulders, reveal an inexplicable expression, and said, "Martyman Gesiyun, when is the best time for us? The Allied forces are increasing day by day, I am very worried!"
Kaneda Zhongtong glared at Constantine and said helplessly, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer! As long as we meet the conditions for victory, I will lead the troops to fight back immediately. The Allies ordered us to call us grandpa, but now is not the time. I cannot expose my strength too much."
"Squeak," as soon as Jintian finished speaking, the door of the room was opened, and the strong light shot from outside the door made everyone dizzy.
A Germanic man in the uniform of a general of the National Wehrmacht walked into the command center. His face was obviously a little tired, but the soldier's steel will and unyielding Teutonic spirit made him hide his sleepiness.
However, his lonely wolf's eyes always emitted a cold and fierce light, which reminded people of the deadly wolf in the snow-capped mountains, a lonely wolf. He is the most powerful general under Marshal Gesyun, the German Army General, Chief of Staff of the Northern Cluster, and Obestan.
Obestan walked directly to Jinda and paid tribute, "Marson of Gesiyun, I am ordered to come and support."
"Good come!" Kaneda saluted and said, "You are finally here. I thought you would arrive in a few days."
Obestin replied with a military salute and said, "As soon as I received your order, I came here by plane. Marshal Manstein has stopped all military attacks on the Eastern Front and cooperated with your operations on the Western Front. This is also the reason why I can come immediately."
"Very good! You sit down."
"Yes! Marshal Gesiyun" Obestan sat on the chair next to Jintian in a cool way, relaxing his fatigue.
His arrival shocked everyone, and they felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a little. But everyone immediately came back to their senses, and they finally understood what Marshal Gesiyun said that the time had not come. It turned out that Obestan had not come yet. It was no wonder that every previous combat plan of Marshal Gesiyun had to be formulated by Obestan. For Marshal Gesiyun, the lone wolf-like Obestan was indispensable to command large-scale battles. With him, Marshal Gesiyun could be more confident in defeating the enemy.
If Marshal Gesiyun is compared to a sharp sword, a sword that is always messy and specialized in trouble but can defeat the enemy. Then Obestan is the scabbard. He can stop Marshal Gesiyun from making trouble, and can use Marshal Gesiyun's sharp sword blade on the battlefield to cut off the enemy, so that Marshal Gesiyun's bad ideas can be used better.
But if you compare Obestan to a sword, then Marshal Gesiyun is his scabbard. Because only Marshal Gesiyun can tolerate the wolf sword of Obestan, and only Marshal Gesiyun's indifferent personality can tolerate Obestan's sharp temper.
These two, one is hot and the other is cold.
One is cunning, shameless and vulgar. The other is decisive and cruel.
One is like a burning mangy dog. He has infinite luck and endless ghost ideas, and always uses evil ways to deal with the enemy's rogue marshal. The other is like an ice flame wolf in the cold wind, with infinite wisdom and keen battlefield observation as sharp as a wolf, and always uses regular combat to attack the enemy's Teutonic warriors.
Marshal Gesyun needed Oberstein because he was lazy by nature and only wanted to play. During this time in France, Oberstein was not around, and Marshal Gesyun needed to spend a lot of time dealing with official duties that he could have shirked away. The staff around him did not understand Marshal Gesyun's character, so he had to ask for instructions on everything, so that he had no time to play, browse the scenery of France, and experience the romantic style of French MM. This made this lazy and lustful Marshal very unhappy. I hope Oberstein will come early every day, and as long as he comes, he will have time to play and be free.
Obestan also encountered the same problem. Although after Marshal Gesiyun left, he became the commander of a cluster. He felt uncomfortable and could not serve. His natural character made him unable to become the core of everyone. He was a natural staff officer, but a not very qualified commander. He only liked to hide aside and give advice and handle some official duties. He also hoped to return to Marshal Gesiyun to work, which was more in line with his temper.
Although Obestin also understood that Marshal Gesyun was not a good marshal, who among the many German generals could let him stay by his side? Even his uncle Manstein could not stand his character and transferred him away. Obestin could only follow Marshal Gesyun wholeheartedly to work.
These two strange combinations are a sign of the victory of Germany's previous battles. The complementarity of their personalities is very terrifying-
