war on the northern front

"Drag your blessing, I caught up, Führer!" Ansel replied loudly, "She agreed to have a drink with me after the award is over!"

"Just a drink? Then you're so slow, you don't have the speed of a fighter at all." Leon said jokingly after listening to Ansel's words.

This joke made the scene fall into a burst of laughter.

"I... I will work hard!" Ansel blushed when he heard Leon's words, and said nervously, "I will use the speed of a fighter to get her to bed!"

"Hahahaha!" After listening to Ansel's nervous words, the people at the scene laughed even louder.

"I believe in you, Ansel! I believe you will soon be able to get her to bed." Leon also laughed a few times, but as the head of state, he still controlled his emotions and walked to the next soldier .

The awarding session came to an end soon. After another few minutes of applause, everyone continued to disperse, enjoying the wine while "trading".

The wonderful night passed quickly. Early the next morning, the officers and soldiers who participated in the award ceremony hurried back to the ship. As the High Seas Fleet set sail for the North Sea again, they did not go to confront the British Navy this time. , but to support the German soldiers fighting in Norway.

Yes, the German army did not slack off because of the victory over the Royal Navy, but just as Churchill thought, it launched an attack on Norway and Denmark at the fastest speed.

Attacking Denmark was the Twelfth Army under the German Army Group E, with a total of 144,000 people, most of which were light infantry, with only one armored division.

At first glance, it seems that the German army is so small. It is really difficult for a strong man to invade a country with a territory of 43,094 square kilometers and a population of more than 5 million.

But in fact, compared with Denmark's military strength of less than 10,000 people, you will find that the German army is really using a knife to kill chickens.

Yes, facing the German invasion, Denmark had no intention of resisting at all. Even the King of Denmark did not want to run away. After he ordered his only 10,000 armed forces not to shoot, he obeyed He stayed in the palace and waited for the Germans to come and put him under house arrest.

Germany also gave them full respect for Denmark's cooperative attitude. Lyon ordered all German troops entering Denmark not to disturb the normal life of the Danish people. The Danish king who was under house arrest was also offered food and drink. In addition to the fact that the movement must be under the surveillance of the Germans, other places have even improved compared to before the house arrest.

Later, according to the royal director of Denmark, because the food provided by Germany was so good, the king of Denmark gained more than ten pounds during his house arrest.

Not only did the Danish government treat the German invasion as nothing happened, but the Danish people also didn't care about the swaggering German troops entering Denmark. Even because Lyon did not allow the order to disrupt the normal order, the Danish people had a good impression of the German soldiers, and there were often soldiers. As we were walking, we were attacked by the Danish people, but what the Danish people used to attack the German soldiers was not swords and spears, nor bullets and shells, but bags of bread and bottles of milk, which made the German soldiers stunned. Forced.

In addition, because the uniforms worn by the German army were designed by the most famous designers in Germany, they were so handsome that many Danish girls had peach blossoms in their eyes, and there were even Danish girls crying and shouting that they wanted to show their bodies to the German soldiers. Xu, forced the German soldiers to raise their guns to protect themselves.

Not only Danish girls are very interested in handsome German uniforms, but young people in Denmark are also very envious. They have asked to join the German army. This wave of joining the army even overshadowed when the Danish army recruited soldiers.

Although Denmark generally "welcomes" the German invasion, resistance still exists.

For example, when the German troops landed on the Danish island of Jutland, they were resisted by bicycle companies and motorcycle companies stationed on the island, killing and wounding 20 people.

In general, the German army created another miracle in military history. They defeated Denmark in four hours, and only paid more than 50 casualties. If you add the people from Denmark who actively participated in the German army, this battle was won. , the change in the numbers of the German army is positive...

Perhaps rather than saying that the German army created a miracle, it is more reliable to say that Denmark has created a joke in military history.

Compared with the wonderful Denmark, Norway, which is located in the north of them, is much tougher.

In order to solve Norway as quickly as possible, the Germans hit most of the troops and landed in Oslo, the capital of Norway and an important port city, while a small number of landing troops and most of the airborne troops raided Kristiansand, Stavanger and Trondheim. As well as Narvik, the firepower that attracted the Norwegian army allowed them to take care of the safety of the capital flawlessly.

In this way, with the German army's three-dimensional attack, attack point blocking and support, coupled with the support of the pro-German Kisling elements in Norway, the German army occupied Oslo, the capital of Norway, in only half a day.

However, the Norwegian government did not surrender after the fall of the capital Oslo as Germany thought, but moved to the interior, while continuing to command the Norwegian army and a small number of Polish troops to continue to block the German landing forces in the south, while attacking the British and French allies. Ask for help.

It is a pity that Britain, France and other allies decided to abandon Norway early in the morning, so they continued to encourage Norway to fight the war and comforted them that the support troops would arrive soon. In order to ensure the absolute security of Western countries such as France and Belgium.

As for Norway's attitude, the German army had already prepared both hands, and the recalcitrant resistance would only be delayed for a while.

After confirming that Norway was ready to resist to the end, the German High Command ordered the army in Denmark to immediately cross the Skagerrak Strait to the landing site opened by the German army to support the German landing and airborne troops in southern Norway, while letting the previous arrival in Finland - The German 6th Army on the Norwegian border immediately crossed the border and attacked central Norway from north to south.

In addition, the German high command also coordinated with the Finnish side and asked them to dispatch their armored units to take Norway together with the German army.

The Finnish side immediately agreed to Germany's request and sent its three most elite armored divisions to cooperate with the German 6th Army.

The tanks equipped by these three armored divisions are all produced by the German tank production line aided by Finland. They belong to the German No. 3 tank series. It can be said that these three armored divisions are the only treasures in the hands of Finland.

However, the reason why they are willing to take out their treasures to cooperate with the German army is not because the friendship between the German and Finnish armies is deeper than the sea, but because the Soviet army frequently shows its muscles on the Soviet-Finnish border, which makes Finland extremely afraid, so they have to take out their treasures and the German army. Fighting side by side, pretending to have an excellent relationship between the Germans and Finns, let the Soviet Union weigh the consequences of angering the Germans before attacking itself.
