The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The units with combat effectiveness were quickly gathered in the hands of Colonel Slaine, and then Colonel Slaine, Qin Chuan and others made some quick and reasonable arrangements for these units.

Of course, Major General Hartmann was also present at this meeting. After all, he is the highest-ranking major general here. Especially the German police force often does not take the Wehrmacht seriously... This is a characteristic of the German army, such as the "Gestapo" "It is a police force. In addition to maintaining law and order, dealing with guerrillas, and arresting Jews, their role is also to investigate and supervise the military.

So the Wehrmacht didn't like the police force, but now they had to sit at the same table to discuss how to face this war.

"You should contact your superiors!" Major General Hartmann said: "While the airport is still in our hands, try to transport us some equipment and supplies as much as possible!"

When the German army occupied Holm, they built an airport in the open area to the north to facilitate the German army's operations on the front line.

"They won't do that!" Colonel Slaine replied: "If I guess correctly, the entire Northern Army Group and Central Army Group need to retreat, and the retreat requires air cover...General, do you think they are there?" When the two army groups are threatened, will they deploy limited air power for us despite their busy schedule? "

"Colonel!" Major General Hartmann replied: "I hope you can understand one thing... I am your commander, so what I say is not a request, but an order!"

"General!" Colonel Slaine replied without any sign of weakness: "I also hope you can understand one thing. You are a major general of the security division, not the National Defense Forces. If anyone here is willing to obey your orders..."

Colonel Slain spread his hands and said, "Please!"

"So!" Hartman gritted his teeth and said, "Colonel, should you try it? After all, we need equipment and supplies very much? I think this will be the voice of all of us!"

"Maybe not!" Qin Chuan looked at Major General Hartmann and said, "Maybe it's because if the transport plane can land here, it can take some people back!"

Colonel Slain couldn't help but suddenly realized after hearing this: "Of course, why didn't I think of it? Then, General..."

Colonel Slain deliberately stood in front of Major General Hartmann and asked, "Who do you think we should take back?"

"Of course, those who were ordered to retreat should go back!" Major General Hartmann replied: "We still have missions in Velikiy Luki!"

"Of course!" Colonel Slaine spread his hands, and then motioned to the correspondent to contact the headquarters.

At the same time, he said to Major General Hartmann: "Sorry, General. If you had said so earlier, it would be okay, because I also hope that you can leave here. Some people are not good for Holm's defense!"

Major General Hartmann hummed and said nothing.

But the result was not satisfactory to Major General Hartmann. The command's answer was exactly as Colonel Sline said. It was temporarily unable to provide reinforcements to Holm, and Holm did not have conditions for airborne landings.

This is actually true. Holm Airport is in the northernmost part of the town, and it is still in a low, open area. It can be blocked with just a few mortars. It can only be said that it is a fantasy to want the transport plane to land. .

"General!" Colonel Slain said when Major General Hartmann was about to leave: "If you can't leave, you should also bear some responsibility for prevention!"

Major General Hartmann did not answer, but said to a major officer next to him: "Ullmann, you stay!"

"Yes, General!" Major Ullman stood up and walked back to Colonel Slain.

"The defense situation is like this!" Colonel Slain pointed to the map and said: "We will set up defenses along the edge of the town. The 1st Infantry Regiment will be the main force stationed in the east, and the other units will be stationed in the west. The security and safety of the town will be maintained. order……"

Colonel Slain glanced at Major Ullman and said: "Major, I hope you can gather the wounded for management, form a medical team to manage the wounded, and be prepared to receive new wounded. Yes. Problem?"

"No, no problem!" Major Ullman replied, which is what police forces do all the time.

"Other units!" Colonel Slaine took the document from the adjutant and distributed it to everyone. He said, "The document details your garrison area and responsibilities, as well as the superior unit that commands you. If there are any questions, , you can ask Captain Frick!”

As he spoke, Colonel Slain turned his attention to Qin Chuan.

"Colonel, I..." Hearing this, Qinchuan couldn't help but be stunned. These troops were mixed, but there were many officers with higher military ranks than Qinchuan. For example, Ullman was a major, and there was also a lieutenant general from the Engineer Division. school.

"They need someone to command them!" Colonel Slain glanced at the group of officers and said, "And they need to cooperate with the First Infantry Division... You won't have any problems!"

"Colonel!" The lieutenant colonel stood up and said, "I think you can hand over the command to me!"

"Tell me the reason!" Slaine asked.

"Because I have more command experience!" the lieutenant colonel replied: "I have independently commanded two battles as a battalion commander, although it was an engineer battalion!"

"Uh-huh! Is this why you think you can command a force composed of 60 different units, Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard?" Colonel Slain asked.

"Yes, Colonel!" Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard stepped forward and replied: "I think you can trust me!"

"Well, gentlemen!" Colonel Slain pulled Qin Chuan in front of the officers and said, "Let me introduce you to Captain Frick, who participated in the command of the Gabes defense line and defeated the enemy with a division of troops. He joined the British Eighth Army and participated in the command of the two armies in Sicily to defeat the British and American armies. If this was not enough, he also participated in the command of the battles to capture Alexandria and Tobruk, oh, and from The French have captured a fleet! I think you must have heard of him!"

All the officers were stunned. It took a while before someone said, "God, he is the 'Legendary Sergeant'!"

"It's unbelievable, the 'Legendary Sergeant' is right in front of us!"

"Yes, the First Infantry Regiment, that's them! We should have thought of it a long time ago!"

…

Colonel Slain asked, "So, any questions?"

"No, no problem!" Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard answered, walked up to Qin Chuan and saluted: "It's an honor to meet you, Captain, please give us an order!"

Qin Chuan looked at Colonel Slaine and found that he seemed to be being used by Colonel Slaine... using himself to encourage the soldiers was also to unite the scattered sand in front of him.

Colonel Slaine, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows at Qinchuan with a hint of pride, as if he could finally suppress Qinchuan.
