Four hundred and seventieth chapters scattered sand
Units with combat effectiveness were quickly gathered in the hands of Colonel Slain, and Colonel Slain, together with Qin Chuan and others, made some quick and reasonable configurations of these units.
Of course, Major General Hartmann is indispensable to attending this meeting. After all, he is the highest rank here. Especially the German police force often does not take the National Wehrmacht seriously... This is a characteristic of the German army. For example, the "Gestapo" is a police force. In addition to maintaining public order, dealing with guerrillas, and arresting Jews, they also have investigations and supervising the army.
Therefore, the National Defense Forces did not like the police force, but now they had to sit at the same table and discuss how to face the war.
"You should contact your superiors!" Major General Hartman said: "When the airport is still in our hands, we should try to transport some equipment and supplies to us as much as possible!"
When the German army occupied Holm, they built an airport in the open area to facilitate the German army's combat on the front line.
"They won't do this!" Colonel Slain replied: "If I'm right, the entire Northern Army Group and the Central Army Group need to retreat, and the retreat requires air cover... General, do you think they will take the time to draw limited air power for us when the two Army Groups are threatened?"
"Colin!" Major General Hartman replied, "I hope you can understand one thing...I am your sir, so what I say is not a request, but an order!"
"General!" Colonel Slain replied without any weakness: "I also hope you can understand one thing: you are a major general of the security division, not a national defense force. If someone here is willing to obey your orders..."
Colonel Slain spread his hands and said, "Please do it!"
"So!" Hartman said gritting his teeth: "Col. Should you try it? After all, we need equipment and supplies? I think this will be the voice of all of us!"
"Maybe not!" Qin Chuan looked at Major General Hartman and said, "Maybe it was because if the transport plane could airborne here, it would be possible to bring some people back!"
Colonel Slain couldn't help but realize: "Of course, why didn't I expect it? Then, General..."
Colonel Slain intends to stand in front of Major General Hartman and asks: "Who do you think we should bring back?"
"Of course, the ones ordered to retreat are back!" Major General Hartman replied: "We still have a mission in Big Luke!"
"Of course!" Colonel Slain set off and signaled the correspondent to contact the command center.
At the same time, he said to Major General Hartman: "Sorry, General. If you said this earlier, it would be fine, because I also hope you can leave this. Some people are not good for Holm's defense!"
Major General Hartman snorted and said nothing.
But the result was not satisfactory to Major General Hartman. The command's answer was indeed as Colonel Slein said, and it was temporarily unable to provide reinforcements to Holm, and Holm had no airborne conditions.
This is actually true. Holm Airport is in the northernmost part of the town, and it is in a low and open area. It can be blocked with just a few mortars. It is a dream to land the transport plane.
"General!" Colonel Slain said when Major General Hartman was about to go out: "If you can't leave, you should also bear some defense responsibility!"
Major General Hartman did not answer, but said to a major officer beside him: "Ulman, stay!"
"Yes, General!" Major Ulman stepped forward and then walked back to Colonel Slein.
"This is the situation of the defense!" Colonel Slain pointed to the map and said: "We must set up defense along the edge of the town. The First Infantry Regiment is the main force to garrison the east, and the other units are garrisoning the west, and the public security and order in the town..."
Colonel Slain glanced at Major Ulman and said, "Major, I hope you can gather the wounded to manage and form a medical team to manage the wounded, and prepare to receive new wounded people. Is there any problem?"
"No, no problem!" Major Ulman replied, this is what the police force often does.
"Other units!" Colonel Slain took the documents from his adjutant and distributed them to everyone, saying, "The documents describe in detail the areas and responsibilities of your garrison, as well as the command of your superior units. If you have any questions, you can ask Captain Flick!"
As he said that, Colonel Slain turned his attention to Qin Chuan.
"College, I..." Qin Chuan was stunned when he heard this. These troops were mixed, but there were many officers with higher ranks than Qin Chuan. For example, Ulman was a major and a lieutenant colonel of the engineering division.
"They need someone to command!" Colonel Slain glanced at the officers and said, "And you need to fight in concert with the First Infantry Division... you will not have any problems!"
"Colin!" Lieutenant Colonel stood up and said, "I think you can hand over command to me!"
"Tell me the reason!" Slain asked.
"Because I have more command experience!" The Lieutenant Colonel replied: "As the battalion commander, I have commanded two battles independently, although I was an engineer battalion!"
"Hmm! Is that the reason why you think you can command a unit of 60 different units, Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard?" Colonel Slein asked back.
"Yes, Colonel!" Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard stepped forward and replied: "I think you can trust me!"
"Then, gentlemen!" Colonel Slain pulled Qin Chuan to the officers and said, "Let me introduce Captain Frick, who participated in command on the Gabes defense line, defeated the British Eighth Army with one division, and defeated the British and American Army with two armies in Sicily. If this is not enough, he also participated in commanding the battle to capture Alexander and Tobrook, and oh, and seized a fleet from the French! I think you must have heard of him!"
All the officers were stunned. After a while, someone said, "God, he is the 'Legendary'!"
"Unbelievable, the 'Legend Sergeant' is right in front of us!"
"Yes, the First Infantry Regiment is them! We should have thought of it!"
...
Colonel Slain asked, "So, is there any other problem?"
"No, there is no problem!" Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard answered and walked up to Qin Chuan and saluted: "It's an honor to see you, Captain, please give us orders!"
Qin Chuan looked at Colonel Slein and found that he seemed to have been used by Colonel Slein... using himself to encourage the soldiers and unite the loose sand in front of him.
