Manstein

Berlin, Germany, the German High Command.

Lyon is holding a regular semi-monthly report meeting of the Supreme Command.

This meeting was specially created by Lyon. At this meeting, each group army will send a representative to explain the current situation of its own troops to the representatives of other groups present and to Lyon, in order to strengthen the connection between each German army and ensure every movement of the enemy. , Every change, every requirement and every situation of our own troops can be understood by friendly troops at the first time, thus greatly improving the tacit understanding and overall efficiency of the German command.

"Well, the armored units of the Eleventh Army will be free for some time to come." Leon nodded after listening to the report of the Eleventh Army, "So are there any needs for the troops near the Eleventh Army? If you need it, you can contact General Erich Abraham of the 11th Army at the moment or in private."

"Head of the State, we just recently planned to apply for a batch of fuel from the Logistics Department to hold a large-scale armored exercise to deter the French Third Armored Army deployed in front of us." The representative of the Tenth Army of the D Army Group immediately stood up. "I request that the armored units of the Eleventh Army cooperate with us," the report said.

"I agree to hold a joint exercise between the two armies, and the logistics department will grant you fuel, but don't mention this kind of resource application in the report next time, and apply to the general logistics department if you need it." Lyon He smiled, "As for whether the 11th Army will hold this exercise with you, it depends on them. You can discuss with them in private."

"Understood, my head of state." Hearing that a batch of fuel was coming, the representative of the Tenth Army happily sat back on the chair.

"It's the turn of the Twelfth Army, how are you doing recently?" Leon asked with a smile, looking at the representative of the Twelfth Army.

"Führer, our two corps in Finnmark, supported by the Finnish Armoured Forces, are moving smoothly towards the Finnmark-Troms border and are expected to enter Troms later today. In the county, we have rendezvoused with the two divisions that are besieging Sekmu." The representative of the Twelfth Army read the drafted report, "But we have encountered a problem with the 128th Infantry Division besieging Bitawale. Slowly retreating."

"Retreat? You were repelled?" Leon put away his smile and asked seriously.

The German army has been on the offensive since the start of the war, and no troop has ever been repulsed, let alone by a third-rate Norwegian troop. So now, this situation has made Lyon a little worried.

"Führer, the 128th Infantry Division is not considered repelled." The representative of the Twelfth Army was a little embarrassed, "They did not retreat because they were defeated, but because the Bitawale defenders used a Vile tactics."

"Despicable tactics?" Leon asked suspiciously.

"Yes, despicable tactics." The representative of the Twelfth Army nodded and said, "They divided the troops into small groups and attacked our positions day and night in turns, so that our soldiers couldn't even sleep, a little No energy to fight."

"Then why don't they also split the troops into small groups and take turns to defend and take turns to sleep?" Leon asked.

"They tried it, but the Norwegians quickly noticed their approach and immediately concentrated their troops to attack, forcing the rested soldiers to stop resting and participate in the battle." The representative replied indignantly, "They are so despicable! "

Leon was silent when he heard the words. He always felt that this style of play was a bit familiar. It looked like a low-profile version of the sparrow battle.

"Do you have any advice or help?" Leon thought for a while, then shook his head and asked the other representatives present.

Those who can sit here and become a representative of an army group are basically one of the commanders of each army group, and have a strong ability to command the battlefield.

But it is such a group of people, after listening to Leon's order, but you look at me, I look at you, and can't think of a good way to deal with it.

After all, the battlefield conditions in Tawal City are a bit harsher.

First of all, the German army only has an army of the 128th Infantry Division there. Compared with the staffing of two infantry divisions and an independent brigade of the Norwegian Bitavale Defenders, the German army has a disadvantage, and there is no way to ignore the rest and defense. .

Secondly, the data of the Gestapo shows that the Norwegian Bitavale defenders have a large number of heavy machine guns. Although these heavy machine guns are too heavy to follow the infantry in the attack, they rely on their powerful firepower. It is really suitable for defense. Therefore, tactics such as counterattacks and detours cannot be implemented.

Looking at the frowning faces of the representatives, Leon felt helpless and said, "Do you have no effective way?"

After listening to Leon's question, the delegates lowered their heads in shame.

"Manstein, what about you? Is there anything you can do?" Seeing that the delegates couldn't pay attention, Leon turned to ask Manstein who was sitting beside him.

"There is a way!" Manstein answered confidently when he heard Leon turn his head and ask himself.

"What can I do?" Leon asked happily.

Manstein is worthy of Manstein, he is reliable! Lyon thought.

"Retreat!" Manstein said seriously.

"Retreat?" Leon was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Manstein's method was to retreat. What's the difference between not saying it?

However, he still patiently asked, "How to retreat?"

"The big retreat, the kind of retreat that goes all the way from Bitavale to Sekmu!" Manstein said with a smile.

"My general, with all due respect, if your method is to retreat, then I think anyone can come up with this method." Leon felt that he was being tricked and said with suppressed anger.

"My Führer, don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Manstein slowly hung the appetite of everyone present, "When retreating to Sekmu, the most important part of this method will come. ."

"First of all, when the only division we have 'rucked', the Bitavale defenders will be very proud, because defeating us is something that even Poland can't do, so they will definitely send out The troops pursued all the way in order to annihilate our division and become the first country in the world to eliminate our army as an organic system. And they sent at least two divisions, because without them, they would be afraid of being swallowed up by us, and more than We only have one infantry division near Tawal, so they will not worry about Bitawal's safety at all, and will send most of their troops out to pursue us with confidence."

"And when they sent a large force to pursue us, we dispatched surprise troops to occupy Bitavale, which was empty in defense!"

"The Raiders?" Leon asked suspiciously, "Where are the Raiders?"
