Chapter 59 Soldiers descend from the sky (1)
I declare to all Danes and Norwegians as the head of the Third Reich of Germany:
The government of your country and the royal family are playing with fire. They deceived the Germans who have been sincere and unchanging in their friends..com. On the one hand, this group of scammers promised Germany that they would not intervene in the war, but they were secretly planning military operations with Britain and France and other countries. Your government was eager to join the British and French camp to launch a military invasion of Germany despite Germany's willingness to maintain peace between the two sides.
To this end, I, Hal von Sdaq, on behalf of the Third German Empire, officially issued the following ultimatum to Denmark, Norway and the governments: If your government, the royal family, despite the eager expectations of the people of the two countries for peace, is eager to stand in the camp of Britain and France to join the war, then Germany will have to declare war on Denmark and Norway!
Within three hours after the ultimatum was issued, Denmark and Norway did not respond, and it would be regarded as Denmark and Norway declared war on the German Third Reich. During this time, the German Third Reich would take necessary military precautions against the two countries.
...
The main force of the fleet that Falkenhorst will be in charge of command, including: two light aircraft carriers, two bombing, escort, destroyers, two battleships, seven cruisers, 14 destroyers, lightning strike ships, 75 submarines and a large number of transport ships, are ready. They set off from the German port in the Baltic Sea and have arrived at the designated location. The main purpose of this fleet is to cover the German army attacking Denmark. After completing the mission of Denmark, they will quickly move towards the Norwegian waters and carry out landing combat missions.
When Hal issued the ultimatum, two infantry divisions and one armored brigade had already set off to Denmark. Their mission was to complete the occupation of Denmark within a limited time.
The command firmly believes that Denmark, which has only 5 divisions and 1 small navy, will soon collapse under the fierce attack of the German army. Germany's main target is Norway, which has 6 divisions, 1 small navy, and an air force with only 190 aircraft. The reason for regarding Norway as its main target is that Britain, France and other countries will not watch the fall of Norway, a strategic country, in vain. When they learn that Norway was attacked, the British and French coalition forces will definitely send troops to reinforce.
In order to complete the order issued by the commander, the German Air Force prepared a total of 2,500 fighter jets of various types, and was confident that after the first wave of bombing, the command systems of Denmark and Norway would be paralyzed and the main facilities, equipment and supplies of the two countries would be destroyed.
The German Supreme Command attached great importance to this battle. This was Germany's military operation against the enemy from three aspects at the same time. The senior generals secretly regarded this attack as an "exercise before landing in Britain". Whether the result of this military operation is successful or unsuccessful, it will affect Germany's future war strategy against Britain.
Xu Yang observed and studied at the Commander-in-Chief as a member of the Special Military Commission, and he will also participate in the command of the battle. This was the decision of the Commander-in-Chief after serious discussions. The generals felt it was necessary to let Xu Yang perform further training.
The specific plan for the implementation of airborne was planned by Xu Yang and Air Force Chief Kesselin. This was the first airborne raid in the history of world war. The German airborne troops will carry out an "unexpected" surprise attack on Stavanger and Oslo. The army will complete control of Stavanger by the airborne troops and first land at Stavanger. When attracting Norway and the Allies' sight to Stavanger, they will then land in Oslo, Arendal, Chrischonsson, Egerson, Bergen, Trondheim, and Nalvik, causing Norway to collapse quickly.
Before this, the German naval forces were mainly submarines, threatening the British and French coalition fleets in the central and southern North Sea, the Bay of Helgolan, the Skagerac Strait, the Beckenfjord and the Thames estuary.
In Wilhelmshaven, Kiel's air force is ready to support the German Navy at any time, with a total of more than 50 Henlk medium bombers and 160 Stuka sea-changed support aircraft on standby at any time. The German Navy's weakness will be compensated by these huge number of fighter jets. In addition, the Air Force Department also supports 21 sea-surface reconnaissance aircraft of the navy to help the navy monitor the movements of the British and French fleets.
The combat planning room of the command headquarters seemed particularly quiet at this time. It was only half an hour before Denmark and Norway thought. If the two countries did not respond within half an hour, then that is to say, the two countries declared war on the Third Reich of Germany by default.
Xu Yang was looking at the military map at this time, and he was thinking about the tactics planned by the naval forces. Strictly speaking, the best strategy for cruising near the central and southern North Sea with a large number of submarines and threatening was the best strategy at present, because the weak German Navy could not fight head-on with the British and French fleets. Long before the plan was officially confirmed, the Navy made a combat plan, which was to block the British and French fleets in the Dog Beach, that is, to carry out a frontal blocking naval battle, and there was no requirement for the Air Force to support the navy.
If we really fight according to the plan designated by the Navy, then the end of the German Navy will definitely come. Xu Yang didn't know why the Navy designated such a combat plan. The only thing we know was that we could not let this combat plan pass. He dealt between the Air Force and the Navy and began to forcefully demand to change the combat plan. He was absolutely unwilling to let the German Navy lose its combat power.
Later, a new combat plan was formulated, which led to the cooperation between the air force and the navy. After the new combat plan was released, Ma agreed that the Navy chief ruled Xu Yang in his hands. He knew that the Junker Light would not agree to the navy to formulate a combat plan with too high risk. As the Navy chief, Reard would never personally ask the Air Force to support his navy, so it would be the most appropriate to let that kid come forward. Reard firmly believed that Kahn von Stark, who had a special identity, had regarded all German armed forces as his own troops and would not sit idly by.
While Reard was proud, his first secret submitted an anonymous letter, which made Reard laugh three times and cheered happily: The Navy will be the Navy under Stark from then on.
"What are you thinking?" Braushichi's voice sounded coldly behind Xu Yang.
Xu Yang's eyes were still staring at the military map, and he didn't look back: "It's snowing in Norway..."
Manstein also came over at this time. His plan had been passed by the commander-in-chief. The plan would be implemented as the main combat plan to attack France. If successful, the commander-in-chief would award him the rank of lieutenant general.
Xu Yang turned around very slowly, his face filled with anxiety, "Is it sure the weather in Oslo and Stavanger suitable for airborne combat?"
The two generals were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other and smiled implicitly, and thought to themselves: The little guy is worried about his direct troops.
At this time, the sound of the long boots stepping on the marble floor came in from outside the door. The generals and the commander-in-chief opened their eyes at the same time.
‘Ya--’ The door was pushed open, and Heidrich walked in, behind him, a major SS general held a document in his hand.
Heidrich came straight to Xu Yang, straightened his body, and reached forward 45 degrees: "Hi! Stark!"
This imperial minister of security, who always had a dead face, especially liked to pay a hand tribute to the commander, and once he respected, he was reluctant to let go of it for a long time.
The lights in the combat planning room of the command headquarters were all turned on. Under the lights, the generals' uniforms looked a little loose and their faces were haggard, just like a group of homeless men who had been hungry for several days. If they approached closely, they would definitely be covered in smelly sweat. It was just because they had been in this combat planning room for five days and nights.
The uniforms of the staff members were still neat, but they did not mean that they were in good spirits. When they looked at their eyes, they were covered with bloodshot and their cheeks were completely sunk into them. The already thin man seemed to be a skeleton dress in German military uniforms.
Xu Yang was not much better. He had not had time to brush his teeth for two days. He had been wearing that uniform for three days. His proud short black hair was like a bird's nest at this time, and he had never found where his military cap had gone, which made him extremely depressed.
Xu Yang stared at his blood-red eyes, looking a little ferocious. In fact, he just wanted to open his eyes as wide as possible and see the documents in his hand clearly. He looked extremely haggard, but his voice was still stable: "Heidrich, you are in charge of this matter."
It turned out that Gisling, a pro-German in Norway, secretly sent a telegram to Germany, asking the Third Reich to support him as the head of the Norwegian government. He was willing to establish a "New Norway" that was completely inclined to the Third Reich of Germany. When the head of state sent an ultimatum to Denmark and Norway, Gisling was already struggling with his army and was ready to welcome the arrival of the German army.
Is Germany a reason to object? No! Absolutely no! The German "workers" in the combat planning room of the commander-in-chief have come back to life. They are still haggard, but they are absolutely excited to start deductions. It is estimated that with the cooperation of the "Gislin Army", the German army will complete the occupation of Norway within a few hours.
Denmark and Norway's last reply time to the Third Reich of Germany is still 5 minutes away.
"We have done our best to Denmark and Norway, and there is no need to wait any longer. I, Kahn von Stark, ordered as a special member of the German Military Commission: the Wesser River exercise is carried out!"
