Seeing a group of future mainstays of the National Defense Force looking at him with admiration, Zhang Chengtian felt very happy. This was the first time that he used his own wisdom to judge the enemy's movements after time travel. Although there were certain accidental factors, it was still possible.
After all, it was his independent judgment. This gave Zhang Chengtian a sense of pride and a sense of joy in being recognized.
Next, Zhang Chengtian finished his idea in one breath: "In addition to the 600 people in Shuangqiao Town, the SS also retained a total of 9,000 people on the two highlands on the front. Although they were besieged by nearly 40,000 Belgian troops,
But judging from the data in the report, the combat effectiveness of the Belgian army is very low. From this, we can boldly liberate these 9,000 troops through counterattack. Once we put them into the counterattack, I believe that the poorly equipped Belgian army will definitely defeat all fronts.
Collapse. In this way, Pétain's rear will be threatened by an SS force of 9,000 men. The French army, which was originally on the hunting side, will in turn be wary of being cut off by us and embankment from our hunting."
After long discussions and considerations, Sickert took the lead in approving this combat policy.
First of all, the French invading army's cross-border attack relied more on logistics than the SS. Once the SS defeated Pétain and placed it in the rear, the large and seemingly powerful Belgian Army, the French army in Pétain's hands
Logistics will be completely cut off. This is an extremely dangerous signal for the French army. As a result, the French army will have to stop its large-scale offensive against the Ruhr Industrial Zone and deploy troops to relieve the rear crisis.
In this way, the Ruhr crisis can be said to be temporarily relieved. And the international situation is becoming more and more favorable to Germany, which makes the French army have less and less time. Now, every time the French army persists in its offensive for one more day, the international response to France
condemnation and support for Germany. Just this afternoon, the British side implicitly stated to the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the British government will acquiesce in the German Wehrmacht to carry out a certain degree of military expansion to protect the balance of power on the European continent. The British Ambassador to Germany
Ambassador Smith of the embassy talked to a German "friend" on a personal basis that the German Wehrmacht should probably double its army on the current basis to prevent France from possible occupation in the future.
At the same time, in distant North America, the "Dawes Plan", which was originally proposed a year later in history, was proposed a full year in advance. The Bank of the United States, headed by Charles Dawes, launched a plan in 1923-1924
The "Dawes Plan" provided a total of US$800 million in loans to Germany during the year. This plan will help Germany repay the indemnity of the Treaty of Versailles and restore the domestic economy.
Under the operation of Britain and the United States, the League of Nations also began to mediate the withdrawal of the French-Belgian coalition forces.

On the silent battlefield, the muzzles of black holes were quietly pointing at the Belgian army position not far away. Here, more than 600 SS soldiers with black charcoal on their faces gathered quietly.
Because this place is some distance away from Highlands No. 2 and 3, which were besieged by the Belgian army. The SS troops on the high ground were not equipped with heavy weapons such as artillery that could shoot at a long distance. Therefore, the Belgian soldiers in this rear position were very lax. Only
The two soldiers standing guard were still joking with each other, paying no attention to the disturbance around them.
Several soldiers wearing French dark blue uniforms walked out of the barracks in a carefree manner. Listening to their exchanges, it was not difficult to judge that this was a patrol composed of Belgian soldiers.
A neatly dressed Belgian lieutenant complained: "The officers are really looking for trouble. We have our own military uniforms. We are asked to wear the spare military uniforms brought by the French. Just say that I have this one on me. Take it."
When I arrived, I couldn't smell it, and I didn't know how long it had been since the Frenchman who delivered the clothes had been washed." Looking at the clean military uniform on his body, it was obvious that it had been washed carefully. Before Italians who loved cleanliness became famous,
This group of Belgians who took the time to do laundry seriously during the fierce war can be considered a strange thing.
An informed second lieutenant advised the lieutenant leading the patrol: "Lieutenant, if you think about it carefully, if it weren't for these clothes, the Germans on the highlands might have been defeated long ago. Compared with our lives, I would rather
Do laundry every day.”
"You're right, safety comes first. I would rather do laundry every day than fight." The lieutenant smiled and agreed with the second lieutenant's point of view. If it weren't for this dark blue military uniform, how could they patrol so leisurely? Suddenly
, the lieutenant's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to say something. Unfortunately, gunfire rang out, and the soldiers around him fell down one after another. The second lieutenant who was chatting with him just now was killed by an SS who had been prepared.
The soldier shot him through the chest. The blood splattered all over the lieutenant's face.
The lieutenant's head was completely confused. In an instant, the lieutenant's slow brain gave a simple and timely instruction. Next, the lieutenant's life was saved. The lieutenant raised his hands, his legs weakened and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the lieutenant's life was saved.
, his hands were raised straighter, which gave him a chance to survive.
Without a trace of hesitation, the SS soldiers quickly rushed towards the lax Belgian camp. After the lieutenant made a "good start", the chaotic Belgian troops in the camp surrendered in pieces. Many soldiers still didn't know what to do.
What happened was that they became prisoners together with the officers who accompanied them in a daze.
.........
In a conference room in Berlin, the officers who were about to leave unanimously stayed behind. They were waiting for Zhang Chengtian's guess to be confirmed or overturned, and for a result.
With the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, a Gestapo liaison officer rushed into the conference room with a report. Even though the liaison officer's happy face had already explained the content of the report, Zhang Chengtian couldn't help but grab it and report it.
After a few glances, Zhang Chengtian laughed loudly and said: "Everyone, we succeeded. The exploratory troops sent by Shuangqiao Town, with 600 people, suddenly defeated the 3,000-man left-behind position in Belgium. The prisoners included a regiment leader.
More than 2,900 people."
A burst of cheers erupted in the conference room, and a general laughed like a child and said, "More than 2,900 people were captured. Wouldn't the Belgian army shoot?" "With a strength difference of five to one, they surrendered without a fight. Belgium is like this."
This time it was a huge embarrassment.”
"Colonel, you have once again successfully predicted the situation. Congratulations." Ross complimented.
Looking at Ross who had unintentionally put him on the shelf, Zhang Chengtian smiled bitterly, thinking that if he failed, he would have to beat him up.
Sickert, who took the battle report and read it in detail, raised his head and cast admiring glances at his proud disciple. This time, he could clearly feel the progress of Zhang Chengtian, which was real at the military level.
progress.
No wonder everyone was surprised. Before the Italian Army took action, Belgium's record this time could be said to be unprecedented. As for those who will come in the future, hehe, isn't there Italy?
The sudden victory was beyond everyone's expectations. What was originally a tentative attack turned into a great victory. The small force used to divert Belgium's attention actually captured an entire regiment of enemy troops.
This attack became a signal, a signal for the highland defenders to launch a full-scale attack, a signal for the defeat of the Belgian army, and a signal for the victory of the SS!
