Extinguishing Sun Chapter 98 Fulcrum

.A few hours before the "Tsunami" landing battle began, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even division commanders like Erwin Rommel didn't know where their troops were going to land. As for the so-called confidential information in the safe of senior officials in Nanjing, it was just a fake document to mislead Japanese troops through Japanese spies to prepare for war.

"Incheon Port!"

As the current coastline gradually became clear, Rommel silently expressed his approval of the command's smart strategy. Before that, he had also long studied the map of the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. Incheon's strategic location is very important to Shuangfa - it is located in the middle of the entire Korean Peninsula, only one step away from Seoul, the political and economic center of North Korea. It can also cut off the land passage between the north and south of the peninsula to defeat the Japanese garrisons. However, the natural environment here is very complex, and rash attack without sufficient confidence is very likely to lead to a failed landing war.

Now, the tenacious Marines have firmly occupied the beaches around Incheon and the entire port area. The airborne troops have been successfully embedded in the empty inland area of ​​the Japanese army's defense, and the war has already shown a one-sided situation.

However, although the Navy Engineering Force is working hard to repair the port facilities, the German follow-up troops are no longer allowed to wait. The superiors sent a telegram to Rommel and his troops land on the No. 3 Beach in the north of Incheon Port as soon as possible.

Under the cover of the Turkish battleship with the red crescent star flag, the Juncker-class tank landing ship with a displacement of 750 tons transported German officers and soldiers and equipment to the beach at the speed. As night fell, large areas of beaches began to be covered by various searchlight lights.

After a day of battle, the noisy peninsula finally became much quieter. The stars seemed to be hiding because of fear of war. There was only a bright moon in the endless sky using its lonely moonlight to shine the road in front of people.

On a dirt road outside Seoul, a queue of hundreds of people was moving forward silently. When the officer in front raised his right hand with his fists clenched, the long queue stopped suddenly. Squat down and be on guard, without the officer giving orders, the body language quickly spread to the end of the queue, and all the movements were completed silently.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a nimble figure quickly ran from afar. After whispering to the leader of the team, the officer waved his right hand and made a gesture of dispersing to prepare for battle.

In less than 30 seconds, there was no one on this earthy path, but the surrounding grass emitted a murderous aura that was invisible to the naked eye.

About two minutes later, several soldiers in yellow military uniforms appeared on the hill ahead. They looked around for a while, and one of them ran back, and the rest continued to search and advance in small steps. Although they were so nervous that they almost had a place of soldiers, they did not realize the hidden crisis in the grass not far from the road.

Time passed quietly. After almost 5 or 6 minutes, a sound of footsteps came from the end of the road. There was a faint sound of guns, kettles and other bodies colliding with each other.

The wind blew on the large grass and produced yellow-green waves. A large number of yellow-soldiers in a hurry had no pleasure in enjoying the scenery. It took a quarter of an hour before the long queue disappeared from the other end of the road.

The grass was still swaying with the rhythm of nature. Until a ox pulls, horses drag and donkeys carry the land and supplies and transports the wounded, the team lurking in the grass suddenly showed its power. It was like a bullet with eyes that instantly knocked down many of the soldiers guarding with guns in the team. After a moment of hesitation, the survivor raised his weapons and hands over his head at an extremely fast speed. Except for a few wounded soldiers still shouting in the carriage, the entire convoy gave up resistance early.

Such a scene even surprised the ambushers. After investigation, they realized the reason why this army was so timid. Although their real purpose was not to liberate the Korean people, no matter what, it would have to save a lot of effort to encounter such an opponent.

The ambushers did not know that it was such a dramatic battle that kicked off the battle of Seoul. The result of the battle did not disappoint the troops coming from afar. It determined the direction of the entire Korean Peninsula.

Colonel, also known as the corresponding colonel in the Japanese Army, usually serves as deputy division, chief (deputy) brigade and chief regiment officers in the army, such as Eugenmaindel, who served as the commander of the 1st Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Air Assault Division of the Luftwaffe, and also as the commander of the Japanese garrison commander of the Gunshan Port, and Omoto Nagayoshi, who served as the 43rd Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army.

In the army of the same country, people of the same rank can have considerable differences in their positions. This is especially true for soldiers from different countries. In the eyes of Colonel Eugenmaindel, he was unwilling to use the 3,527 paratroopers in his hands to exchange 3,672 infantrymen of his opponents, although this seemed a bad choice in simple arithmetic.

The current German Air Force has a total of 4 air assault divisions, namely the airborne divisions. Among them, the 1st and 2nd Air Assault Divisions are front-line combat troops, the 3rd and 4th Divisions are reserve troops on the second line, and the 4th Divisions have a full staff of 75,000. It is the largest and largest paratrooper troops in the world, and it is also recognized as the oldest, most advanced in tactics and most well-equipped paratroopers.

As for Colonel Eugenmaindel, he was an artilleryman when he first joined the army. Perhaps he would never have thought that he would one day transfer into a special army that fell from the sky, but the World War that broke out in 1914 gave him a chance. After successfully defeating Russia, France and landing in England, in order to destroy the British defenses in central England and Scotland, the German army expanded its paratroopers on a large scale, thus growing from an airborne division when landing in England to the later four. It was at that time that Meiddel transferred from the army to the Air Force. In the end, more than 44,000 paratroopers participated in the Battle of Birmingham and the Battle of Scotland, which determined the fate of Britain, and the German army won a complete victory in both battles.

When he stood firmly on the land of North Korea, Maindel, who had served in the German army for 20 years, was already an air force colonel who was very likely to be promoted through this battlefield. What made him even more proud was that the more than 3,000 paratroopers who followed him were the essence of the German army. This paratrooper regiment is equivalent to a reinforced regiment in the German army (a standard German infantry regiment has about 3,200 people and a standard German infantry division has 16,600 people), but its combat effectiveness is far superior to the 1,000 infantry troops of the same size, which has been verified in actual combat in both the United States and Russia.

In the entire German army, paratroopers are the only elite unit that can rival the Marine Corps.

Opposite Colonel Meindel, the troops commanded by Japanese Army Colonel Hinahara Yukiji and Omoto Nagayoshi, also had 3,600 troops, but compared with German paratroopers, which are known for their elite strength, their combat effectiveness is simply terrible. However, as the only remaining brigade-level unit in the Seoul area, they have received special attention from their opponents. The mission of Meindel's troops is to intercept them in the eastern suburbs of Seoul, and the real surround and annihilation mission will be Rommel's troops who are landing - using armored troops to deal with this enemy that has escaped the net is obviously much easier than paratroopers, but the development of the battle situation is often far from what people expect.

4 hours later, Türkiye, Istanbul.

A dinner with only a dozen people attending the local dinner did not take too much time and energy, and the conversation with Kemal, who was one year older than him was also as pleasant as ever. When he introduced Juliana to Kemal, he saw a look of envy and helplessness in Kemal's eyes.

Since the end of the first marriage, the "Turkish father" has remained single, and has been elected as the president of Turkey for three consecutive elections, and is 48 years old at the age of political golden age. Coupled with his legendary experience and cheerful personality, it is no exaggeration to call him "the world's number one fifth brother".

After expressing his gratitude to Kemal alone, Chen Tian returned to the Turkish National Guesthouse where he stayed. It was the Turkish palace before the Turkish Revolution. Although it had undergone large-scale reconstruction, it still retained the unique Islamic style. Although he came to Istanbul at most once a year, the gracious Turks still left a special palace for themselves.

After a comfortable Turkish bath, Chen Tian came to the study in his pajamas, and there were a few documents he had just sent on the desk.

"Don't your Majesty get off early?"

Just as Chen Tian sat down, Juliana, who had just blown her hair dry, appeared at the door of the study.

Chen Tian looked at the watch, at 9:3, this was the time when nightlife was in full swing in later generations, but in this era when TV technology was still in its primitive stage, entertainment activities were relatively limited. Of course, the nobles could gather together to dance, play cards or chat, but that was not what Chen Tian was interested in.

"Well, I'll go to bed after reading these reports!"

As he said that, Chen Tian lowered his head and was about to open the first document. The cover reads "Far East Cluster Command* Top Secret". It doesn't have to guess that it is a front-line battle report.

"Your Majesty!" Juliana continued to hesitate at the door, "Can you ask you a question?"

"Hmm?" Chen Tian raised his head, "Is it very important?"

"Not!" Juliana pretended to be relaxed and put her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "I'm just always troubled by a question!"

"Then..." Chen Tian gently closed the documents in front of him and signaled Juliana to sit beside him, "Just ask!"

"I heard before that President Kemal was a strange person. I would rather talk to all kinds of people than go home to accompany my wife!" Perhaps talking about other people's relationship, Juliana's voice was very soft when she spoke.

Although he didn't quite understand why his little bride asked this question, Chen Tian told the truth: "Well, to be precise, it's his ex-wife! Mr. President is a person who is passionate about social life, but his wife is very tired of it! He is unwilling to spend his energy on endless family quarrels, so he wrote a letter to his wife one day, announcing that their relationship was officially over!"

"Oh!" Juliana looked thoughtful.

Chen Tian thought for a while, "Mr. President also loves Turkish coffee and cigarettes very much. It is said that he drinks 15 cups of coffee and smokes 3 packs of cigarettes every day! What? Is our Mary starting to prepare some celebrity privacy secrets?"

Juliana shook her head, "Your Majesty, do you know? When I just married you, I was very uneasy!"

"Because of those rumors about me from the outside world?" Chen Tian smiled and said, "Honey? Pedophilia? And war madman?"

"You...you know everything!" Julianna widened her eyes, as if she was incredible at the ease with which the monarch in front of her talked about rumors about her badness.

"My mouth grows on others. Do I want to use the power of the country to ban these rumors?" Chen Tian shook his head, "The more you ban it, the more it means there is something wrong with it!"

Julianna breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that at least one of these rumors is correct - Your Majesty is indeed the most outstanding monarch in Europe in thousands of years!"

“All I have is decades of ‘prophet power’!”

Chen Tian thought so in his heart, of course he could not tell Juliana this way, so he just said modestly: "With Germany's national strength and opportunities to develop to this situation today, the most important factor!"

"But why did Your Majesty not marry for fourteen years?" The young Juliana couldn't help but ask the question she wanted to ask the most.

"Fourteen years..." Chen Tian let out a deep breath, "It's a very long time!"

After waiting for half a minute, Juliana spoke again:

"As far as I know, those who were willing to marry Germany were Nordic countries like Denmark and Sweden, as well as Bavaria, Austria and Spain's traditional royal family! But His Majesty refused one by one!"

“是的!”辰天并不否认这段事实.

“那是为什么?”朱丽安娜追问到.

"There are many reasons here, including national and individuals! If you have to use one word to attribute it, it is 'stability'!" Chen Tian slowly stood up and pushed open the window inlaid with colorful glass beside the desk, and a cool breeze blew towards him.

"Still?" Juliana looked at the back of the man in front of her and fell into deep thought.
