Among the three armies, the strongest Italians were the first to be eliminated. This is really unexpected.

While Model was beating the Italians in the Alps, Mainz also led the main force of the German army to find the former Austro-Hungarian army in Odili.

Although this army composed of Balkan and other countries has 150,000 people, it is not a whole. Among them, the Czechs have the largest number, with 50,000 people. Slovenia and Croatia have 50,000 people respectively. 4 people, Serbia has the least number of people, only 10,000 people!

After Mainz learned about this situation, they immediately made a decision: defeat them one by one!

On October 1, the German army launched an attack on the Serbian troops stationed in the southern part of Vienna!

The Serbian army was very embarrassed in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This country was the trigger for the First World War. Without the shot in the Sarajevo incident, the World War might not have broken out so early!

After the outbreak of the World War, the Allied forces entered Serbia, destroyed the country, and merged it under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire then began to support the puppet army in Serbia in order to To manage and suppress local resistance forces.

After the defeat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, most of this army was disbanded, and some were stranded in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

This is the case for this 20,000-strong Serbian servant army. They did a lot of evil things in Serbia. Therefore, after the defeat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they should have returned to their own country, but But they dare not go back because they are worried that the domestic government will liquidate them!

After the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the domestic situation has been turbulent. The Odili government has too much time to take care of itself. It has no energy or ability to expel these original Austro-Hungarian armies. Moreover, they also need to supply these armies with food and materials to prevent these armies from being destroyed. Domestic trouble.

However, these armies are not so obedient. They may only be regarded as third-rate armies on the battlefield and are not very good at fighting, but they do their part to cause harm to the party. In the past six months, complaints have boiled over in various places that have been harmed by these armies. In Odili, The people are also very dissatisfied with these foreigners, which is one of the reasons why they ask to join Hans. They want to use Hans's power to expel these outsiders!

Therefore, after Mainz made the decision to be the first to deal with these Serbian people, the local people did not need to mobilize at all. They all came over to lead the way and told all the intelligence about this army. Killed the Germans!

From the information provided by these common people, detailed information about this army was obtained.

In fact, although this army claims to have 20,000 people, it actually only has about 15,000 people. Since the surrender of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in November last year, a large number of Serbian people have been fleeing in the army. When they returned to their homeland, almost all those who stayed behind were war criminals who had committed heinous crimes and did not dare to leave Odili.

In addition, this army is corrupt. The soldiers have not drilled for a long time. The defense of the military camp is very lax. The soldiers can even bring prostitutes back to the military camp in broad daylight.

Such an army cannot be called an army at all, because their behavior is no different from bandits!

"Colonel, give me two regiments and I can wipe out these guys!"

After learning this information, Guderian seemed very excited and took the initiative to stand up and ask for a fight.

Mainz shook his head:"Although I don't doubt that you can use two regiments to defeat this army. After all, they are just a group of rabble. But our goal is not to defeat them, but to annihilate them all, and try not to let the news leak out, so as not to alert the other three armies. In this case, we need to go all out and use thunder to sweep the holes. Uproot them!

Seeing Guderian's thoughtful look, Mainz continued:"Remember, in war, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten of them. Annihilating the enemy's vitality is a necessary condition for victory in the war. Weapons, ammunition, aircraft and cannons all require people to produce them, but the number of young people in a country is limited. Every time the enemy's effective forces are eliminated in batches, it can fundamentally affect the country's war. potential!"

"Therefore, when facing a strong enemy, we must pursue the total annihilation of the entire enemy force as much as possible. In this way, the enemy will not be able to accumulate experience from the war. After the enemy on the front line is eliminated, even if the enemy quickly trains The troops were sent to the battlefield, but these troops were just a group of inexperienced rookies!"

"You have all been on the battlefield and experienced war, so you can all feel the difference between you now and when you were recruits.

When a group of veterans with war experience faces a group of recruits who have no war experience and even lack understanding of the enemy, What huge advantage they should have, and as long as we can continue to reorganize and eliminate the enemy, then the enemy will send such recruits to the front line.

They will not be able to learn from the experience of the war, because the experienced troops have been eliminated.

, and we can always maintain a unilateral advantage and use this advantage to obtain the final victory!

"

What Mainz said is based on the experience and lessons of the German army in World War II!

In the early days of World War II, the German army was unstoppable and almost invincible. No one could stop their advance.

Whether it was on the battlefield in Western Europe or in the Soviet Union On the German battlefield, almost all the troops that encountered the German army were annihilated by the German army in a single encounter, so the enemy had no chance to learn from experience and lessons!

This huge advantage led to the German army always achieving extremely brilliant results at the beginning of the war. , can easily annihilate hundreds of thousands or even millions of enemies. Although the Soviet army mobilized tens of millions of troops at that time, all of these troops were inexperienced recruits, and their combat effectiveness was not the same as that of the German veterans!

But all of this! Changed because of a heavy snowfall!

The university under Moscow blocked the German attack and bought the Soviet army some breathing time.

In the repeated tug-of-war, the Soviet army quickly gained combat experience and learned about the enemy's advantages.

and weaknesses, and then found a way to compete with the German army, and what happened after that became very clear.

The huge manpower advantage and industrial production capacity gave the Soviet army an advantage over the German army, and it remained until the end of the war.
