“The Slovaks want independence?”
Mainz was a little surprised when he heard the news. Svante had just returned from Hans, and he wanted to separate Slovakia from Jake and make it independent. This move was a bit fast and efficient!
“Well, Svante said that he has contacted several Slovak generals and is preparing to revolt on the battlefield when they attack our army, and then immediately use Bratislava as the capital, declare independence from Czech control, and establish a country belonging to the Slovaks!”
Bratis was originally the capital of Slovakia in history, so there is nothing wrong with them building the capital here.
“Is there any risk in this matter?”
General Bock asked worriedly:”If they deceive us, enter our position in the name of battlefield uprising, and then immediately attack us, and cooperate with the coalition forces, our army may be in danger!”
Bock’s worries are not unreasonable, but Mainz has already thought of a way to deal with it.
“Don’t worry about this. We will continue to implement the original plan. After absorbing the Slovak army, we will immediately retreat into Hainburg. Then the enemy will not be able to continue attacking us!”
Mainz had no intention of defending in Bratis. The terrain here is not good. Defending here is equivalent to putting himself in a desperate situation. Once a problem occurs, the entire army is likely to be destroyed, just like Paulus’s Sixth Army in World War II!
Coincidentally, Dietrich’s troops happened to be the Sixth Army, so Mainz did not want a Paulus-style tragedy to happen!
After some discussion at the base camp, it finally agreed to accept the surrender of the Slovaks. Mainz felt that the possibility of Svante’s false surrender was not high, because the Jakes really intended to surrender Slovaks. The Slovaks were sold as cannon fodder!
In this situation, they still planned for the other party and risked their lives to surrender. He could only say that the Slovaks were really selfless and selfless, and did not regard themselves as human beings at all!
The probability of the Slovaks doing such a thing is not zero, but the probability is very small, because it is basically unprofitable!
On the other hand, if they surrender to Hans, and then rely on Hans’ protection and support to establish an independent country, then they can completely get rid of the control of the Jekes, and the benefits will be much higher!
After Berlin’s intentions were conveyed to Vienna, Manstein knew what to do!
On February 26, 192, the army launched an attack on the German army in Bratislava from multiple directions.
Most of these attacks were feints to distract the German army and divert their energy.
The main offensive direction of the coalition forces was actually Dubinask in the southeast. Here, the coalition forces crossed the Danube and bypassed the German army, intending to cut off the German army’s retreat and then completely surround it!
However, the German army was well prepared and deployed two divisions of main forces on the other side of the Danube for defense. If the coalition forces wanted to attack, They had to brave the intensive firepower of the German army and force their way across the Danube!
This was not an easy task. It was almost as difficult as a landing operation in a naval battle. The casualties of the troops responsible for the assault would certainly be extremely heavy!
Therefore, the coalition forces gave this task to Jake, and Jake gave this task to the Slovak army in his own army!
Two armies, 100,000 Slovak troops were forced to attack, and tremblingly launched an attack on the German army.
After the attack started, the coalition forces were extremely nervous, for him We can all predict that this attack will definitely result in huge casualties!
Maybe none of these 100,000 troops will be able to come back!
Although the German army on the opposite side has only one division, with no more than 50,000 people, they are well-rested, and have a perfect beachhead position. They have built a large firepower network on the position. If they really fight, they can hide in the fortifications to fight, while the attacking coalition forces will be exposed on the open beach and become live targets of the enemy!
In this case, it is normal to have heavy casualties. The coalition forces don’t care about the lives of these cannon fodders. What they care most about is whether this force can help them open a gap and tear a hole from the enemy’s position!
As long as they can tear a hole, the coalition forces can immediately send more troops to continue to expand the gap, thereby completely breaking through the German defense.
After all, the German army is at a disadvantage in terms of manpower, so they can’t draw too many troops to reinforce here, but the coalition forces have a three or four times advantage in manpower, so they can do this!
Although they were determined to use these attacking Slovaks as cannon fodder, before they launched the attack, the coalition forces still righteously bombarded the German positions. After the bombardment, they hurriedly moved the artillery positions, fearing that they would be counterattacked by the Germans again!
At this time, the artillery in their hands was the last artillery they could use. This was a unit assembled after the remaining artillery of three countries. If this artillery was killed again, they would really have no artillery to use!
The coalition forces were still afraid of the counterattack of the German artillery. Until now, they have not figured out how the German artillery found their artillery positions, and how they directly used rapid shooting and firepower to kill their artillery positions without test firing?
Because radar was not born in this era, it would not really appear until at least after 935, and large-scale use would have to wait until after 1940, when World War II entered its peak.
At this time, the coalition countries, including the British, had never heard of radar, let alone anti-artillery radar!
So they were puzzled and couldn’t figure out how Hans could accurately locate their artillery positions.
Although they couldn’t figure it out, one thing was clear, that is, the German artillery posed a great threat to them, so they had to be cautious and move their artillery positions quickly and in time to prevent the German artillery counterattack!
So, after less than five minutes of shelling, the coalition’s shelling ended.
Five minutes of shelling did not destroy many fortifications on the German positions, and most of the fortifications were still intact!
After seeing this scene, even the Slovaks, who had originally held a glimmer of hope for the Czechs against the coalition countries, were completely desperate!
The other side not only treated them as cannon fodder, but also left them no way to survive!
Even the work of firing artillery to help them clear the roadblocks was so sloppy, which showed how low their status was in the hearts of these guys!
After recognizing this reality, the Slovaks completely gave up on the Allied Forces and Czechoslovakia. Those who might not have been particularly determined to establish an independent country also completely turned to the faction of establishing an independent country!
“The Slovak army has crossed the river!”
“They are starting to land!”
“Very good, they successfully landed on the enemy’s beach. The next is the most critical moment. It depends on whether they can withstand the fierce firepower of the German army and establish a beachhead on the beach!”
The coalition forces have been tracking the every move of the Slovak army. Seeing the Slovak army landed on the beach on the other side of the Danube, the coalition forces held their breath and were extremely nervous!
In their view, the reason why the German army did not launch an attack on the Slovak army that was crossing the river before was probably to concentrate their firepower, eliminate the landing, and then take the opportunity to open fire when they were crowded on the beachhead!
In this case, the first wave of Slovak troops hit by firepower will have almost no living space. They will become corpses on the ground the moment the guns sounded!
And the key to this attack is The key is whether the subsequent Slovak army can withstand the pressure, bravely attack the German positions under the huge pressure of casualties, and then break through the German positions!
If they can do this, then this combat operation will be considered a success. If they can’t do this, then they will be slaughtered unilaterally!
However, just when their hearts were nervous to their throats, they were shocked to find that the German army on the opposite side seemed to have disappeared. There was no movement at all, let alone firing artillery. There was not even a single person on their position.
As a result, the Slovaks landed successfully without any obstacles!
