"My students, you are about to graduate. I have nothing to say to you. I just want to give you two words. First, please remember your alma mater. Second, no matter where you are, please remember your mother." The first semester of the Northwestern Military Academy officially ended amidst a large number of cheers. The generals from Germany had learned unparalleled tactics and respect for their home country. More Chinese soldiers were involved in the war to defend their home country. In 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Northwestern Military Academy sent 1300 generals. More than 600 people died in the battle until they reached Tokyo.
" Colonel Guderian, we're going back to our country."
" Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Rommel. I've been away from the motherland for almost two years. I really miss my wife," Guderian said nostalgically. Guderian's words stirred up Rommel's nostalgia." When we first came to China amidst the laughter, we thought that the head of state was going to give up on us. However, after we came here, we discovered the head of state's true intentions. Advanced armored assault tactics, swift assault tactics, landing tactics, and lightning-fast tactics. Powerful firepower output."
"Yes, I thought I would never return to my homeland in this life, but now we can return to our homeland with honor.”Guderian and Rommel recalled the events of the past two years.
" Attention, Messestan and Aufmerksamkeit." Under the scorching sun, a teacher was training the students." Welcome, Willkommen SieAnreise."" Now, whether you are soldiers or students, you must learn two languages, Chinese and German. Siesindnicht, Soldatensindjetzt, Studentenander, Northwestern Military Academy, Siezwei Sprachen, Chinesischund German."" Your answer is Ihre Antwort."" It's the Chief Executive."" Oh my, haven't you f * cking eaten?"I'm feeling much better now. 10 minutes to pack your luggage. 20 minutes later, we'll officially collect your school clothes and school pants. After that, we'll officially start class. My name is Li Wenhan and I'll be your teacher."
"Students, our first lesson will be blitzkrieg."
" Teacher, what is a blitzkrieg?" Rommel raised his hand and asked. The teacher nodded.
"In fact, a blitzkrieg war ended in the classic Chinese literature, Sun Tzu's Art of War. Therefore, it was as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as unmoving as a mountain, as unpredictable as Yin, and as moving as lightning.”Li Wenhan wrote 16 words on the blackboard: The army had to react quickly, like a gust of wind, and defeat the enemy with lightning speed. When the army marched slowly, it was like a still forest, solemn and orderly, without alerting the enemy or alerting the enemy. Invasion Like Fire: When attacking the enemy, you must be like a prairie fire, ending the battle with an unstoppable offensive and achieving complete victory. When the army was stationed, they had to be like a mountain, ready to fight at any time. When the army was hidden, it was like dark clouds covering the sky without seeing the sun, moon, and stars. "Move Like Thunder: When the army takes action, it is like a thunderbolt. It is brave and swift, so that the enemy has no way to retreat." Li Wenhan wrote the essence of the 16 words on the blackboard. The German, Rommel, Guderian, and a large number of armored soldiers who originally had objections carefully studied the 16 words on the blackboard.”"Teacher, what is the substitute for assault force in today's battle?" Li Wenhan wrote four words on the blackboard after listening."Armored assault.""Armored assault will determine the strength of the two countries on land." Rommel, Guderian, and a large group of people even opened their notebooks to record as if they had been injected with stimulants."An important idea of the offensive war in Sun Tzu's Art of War is to attack the enemy at an extremely fast speed, so that the enemy can obtain about half of the victory before they can react. It was written in the book,"To move forward is to move quickly.”He also made a beautiful metaphor for the impact force produced by rapid speed: "The urgency of the water, as for the floating stone, it is the momentum; The speed of the birds of prey is so fast that they are destroyed because of their restraint.”According to the theory of war mechanics, the combat effectiveness of an army depended on the number of troops, mobility, and impact force. The size of mobility and impact force were related to speed. The faster the speed, the greater the impact force. In terms of strategy, it included armored troops, mechanized infantry and artillery, as well as the superior firepower of the air force. It was a highly coordinated attack at the operational level. Disrupting the enemy's deployment, forcing the enemy to change their frontal forces, and even causing the enemy to be in a mess in terms of the organization and distribution of their forces. They would use a roundabout method to separate and cut off their forces. Blocking their path of retreat. Threatening their retreat, causing them to lose contact and supplies with the base. On the tactical level, there were four points to assemble and launch a breakthrough to attack the void and drill through the gap to sweep through. Li Wenhan then wrote the four points of tactics on the blackboard. It meant that before the attack, the troops would be completely concentrated on a narrow front. Since this tactic required the formation of a focal point, the actual frontal attack would be narrower than the gathering area. [Spread out: In order to maintain the necessary momentum after breaking through, the mechanized troops will be deployed in echelons.] [Breakthrough: Use the overwhelming force created by the formation of the focal point to break through the enemy's front line with a decisive impact.] The task of breaking through was usually given to the tank troops, who would form a "wide cone" inverted triangle or "cone"(Keil triangle) with battalion or company units to break through. However, in order to preserve the strength of the armored soldiers for future battles, there were also cases of handing over the task of breaking through to the infantry. After the infantry broke through the gap, the armored soldiers would enter through the gap and then move to the rear of the enemy to expand the results.·····”Li Wenhan introduced the above points. The German general read the information he had written over and over again
"Guderian.""Yes, teacher." Guderian stood up nervously."I remember that you once reported to the German command that the armored forces must be formed independently and used in a concentrated manner, instead of being allocated to the infantry units separately." Guderian nodded,"Your proposal is completely correct and in line with the historical process. However, your theory has a fatal weakness."”
Gordian was stunned at his fatal weakness, yes
Then I'll start talking about Guderian's Mechanized War Theory."
"The basis of a blitzkrieg is to be mechanized. The premise is to have the right to control the air. It depends on the coordination of air, tanks, and infantry. Once they found a breakthrough point, the artillery would open up a gap. The armored group would enter the gap and develop the battle results. The mobile infantry would follow up. After finding the two flanks of the breach, the air force opened up a gap for 5-10 minutes. The armored group then attacked, followed by the mobile infantry. Quickly destroy the enemy's command center, communication hub, and transportation hub. Entrapping the enemy in a blind and deaf situation, and cooperating with the frontal forces to quickly surround the enemy's main infantry group. The planes, tanks, and mobile infantrymen were all very fast and had sufficient firepower.”Gordian nodded and agreed with himself.
"Then let's talk about its fatal weakness. The first tactic is very reliant on logistics. Once there is no supply of gasoline, ammunition, and food, it will be wiped out. Secondly, as long as the enemy troops left behind were not completely wiped out, it was easy for them to launch a counterattack. Due to the rapid advance of the blitzkrieg, the supply line was quickly extended overnight. Once the supplies could not keep up, the troops in front would easily become spent arrows. If the offensive stopped, they might be counterattacked. At the same time, the supply troops were also vulnerable to counterattacks. Once the two countries fall into a stalemate, the strength of the two countries will compete instead of their combat power. Guderian jumped after hearing this.
