Chapter 284

While talking, an off-road vehicle stopped not far away, and several officers got out of the car and came over. One of them is the staff officer who left an hour ago.

"General! Your military headquarters have crossed the river. They are looking for you everywhere. " The staff officer said as he patted the dust on his body.

"Nice to meet you, brave soldiers. Good luck to you Rommel turned to say hello to some of his new friends, then turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back, holding up the camera in his chest, leaving a precious picture of the soldiers.

After taking the picture, he shook his camera at the soldiers and said with a smile, "if you don't object, I'll autograph this picture and send it to the grand Deutsche."

With that, he jumped into the open off-road vehicle amid the cheers of the soldiers, and left with several officers in the car. With the launch of this off-road vehicle, there are also several trucks full of materials and equipment, which are the materials of the 7th armored army headquarters.

"The reason why we can push forward so fast is not only our own credit." Having witnessed the operations of other arms, Rommel was deeply impressed: "I think the people of Germany should also remember their contributions."

He was right. In order to ensure the advance speed of German armored forces, the pilots of Stuka bombers only had a 15 minute rest on each return flight - this was the time for them to wait for the ground crew to reload the aircraft, and then they took off again to destroy the enemy forces that had assembled to fight back.

German engineers created an engineering miracle. They used simple equipment to unload tons of equipment from trucks and trailers, and then assembled them at the fastest speed. It took only 38 minutes for an engineering battalion to wire the barge across the wide river. They are crazy construction, sweating in the cold river, and finally completed the erection of the floating bridge in time.

On the other hand, the logistics forces are frantically squeezing their transportation capacity. They use wire to tie up the vegetable basket unloaded from the front of the bicycle outside the truck and transport dozens of barrels of gasoline at a time. Even the signalmen are required to carry more than two barrels of gasoline on their motorcycles to relieve the pressure of logistics supply. Behind the tanks in the rear, there are several barrels of gasoline for spare use, so as to ensure that the whole army can move forward for hundreds of kilometers even if it is out of supply.

And those unknown infantry who keep on driving are not slack at all. They are carrying heavy ammunition, carrying rifles and helmets, hobbling in the ice and snow, often driving through the night, advancing dozens of kilometers every day, just to cover the fragile flank and rear of the German armored forces.

These troops are quietly paying for the brilliant achievements of German armored forces. They are not valued or talked about by people, but they do contribute to the victory of Germany and are an important part of Germany's invincible and powerful army.

"General, a few minutes ago, our forward scouts were on fire with the French. We broke through their lines and there were thousands of prisoners." The staff officer smiles and agrees with Rommel. Then he hands Rommel a piece of information, points to the text and says, "the French have no heart to fight and are retreating on a large scale."

"Don't camp!" Rommel waved his hand with the shaking of the car, pointed to the map on his knee, and said to his staff and officers, "we'll get here as soon as possible. When we stop for a rest, you go to the command car in the back and send a telegram to the armored forces in front, so that they don't stop and continue to attack! I'm right behind them

"Contact the 3rd Battalion of 2nd regiment of 2nd SS Panzer Division and ask what they are doing? They should have captured the village half an hour ago, but they still haven't taken action! " He told an officer in the front row of the SUV, "if they encounter resistance, please explain the strength and equipment of the other side so that I can support them."

"I see." The officer nodded.

"Give me the radio." He waved to the signalman in the third platoon: "channel to the regimental headquarters of the 1st regiment of the 2nd SS armored division."

The soldier immediately handed the earphone and microphone to Rommel. He grabbed it and put a earphone on his ear. Then he grabbed the phone and started calling, "I'm L, I'm L, a, please come back, please come back."

"Long live the Fuehrer. This is command A. We're moving forward. " The voice of the head of the 1st regiment of the 2nd SS armored division came from the earphone.

"I command you to keep attacking! I'll be at your headquarters in an hour and a half! When I get to you in the afternoon, your troops must rest in the village of Corea, and no matter how many French troops are ahead, you must get there. "

"Yes! I'll keep driving! But you have to contact the oil supply for me. " The head of the 1st regiment over there said with a smile: "my people can't push the tank forward."

"Chief of staff, contact our supply unit and send the oil to the 1st regiment!" Rommel said loudly to the chief of staff beside him. Seeing that the chief of staff nodded, he continued to say to the phone, "there's no problem with the fuel. Your troops continue to attack!"

With that, Rommel lost his headset and pointed to the fork in the road ahead: "stop." The car and the truck stopped. Rommel looked at his officers and said, "get down to business! What I just told you! Then wait for me at the regimental headquarters of the 1st regiment of the 2nd Armored Division of the SS. I'll go upstream to see how the grenadiers crossed the river. "“ general! There are still scattered French troops around here! You can't take risks. " Said his chief of staff, frowning“ So I took the guards with me Rommel pointed to the only guard with a long gun on his back. The guard looked awkwardly at his general and then at the chief of staff. He did not dare to speak“ You and you! Get in the car and follow the general! No matter what happens, bring him back safely From the back of the truck to find two soldiers carrying G43 rifles, the chief of staff reluctantly agreed to Rommel's decision. The car soon started again. At the fork of the road, Rommel's car rushed down the main road, ran to the nearby forest road, and drove to another floating bridge upstream with heavy smoke. Soon, the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd regiment of the 2nd SS Panzer Division, who had lost contact, was found back, and they were blocked on the road by a group of local residents' cows. No one would have thought that what 5000 French soldiers did not do when they set up defense lines along the river was done by 20 stubborn cows. The final solution is a joke. The SS battalion commander took out all the cash and gave it to the owner of the cow. Then, in the cry of the Frenchman, he ordered to open fire and kill all the cows, and the battalion's tanks were able to move on“ Our troops have moved in to the designated position and have driven a class of French defenders out of the village. Now they are ready to move on. " The battalion commander reported the situation there and took his troops on his way. At the other estuary, Rommel's motorized infantry division was extremely slow to cross the river because of command confusion and a No. 3 assault gun trapped in the mud of the river. Rommel's arrival changed the situation. He immediately jumped out of the car and took his guards to help push the tank. When he got the tank out of the pit in mud, the captain who yelled slogans to command the cart recognized his general. Then Rommel, covered in mud, stood at the head of the pontoon to direct the traffic, as sloppy as a big soldier. But the traffic miraculously recovered, the army cars and armored vehicles rumbled over the pontoon, and the soldiers on all these vehicles saluted Rommel, shouting long live the Fuehrer. Rommel and his men left in a hurry, and when the last armored car of the 7th army drove over the pontoon, they were 45 minutes ahead of schedule. When Rommel arrived at the 1st regiment of SS 2nd Armored Division in Correa village, all the people were stunned by the general's adventurous behavior. He had a wound on his face. According to him, it was the French artillery that caused a bullet to scratch his cheek. And there were two French prisoners in his car. The two men were defeated by the German army on the river bank. They hid in the woods, hoping to escape to the area controlled by the French army. But their luck is not so good, in the process of escape, they were found by Rommel, and then they were caught and brought together. After a simple bandage, Rommel once again stood at the dangerous front line and personally commanded the tanks of the 1st regiment to defeat the French infantry's attempt to recapture the village. He drove the tank himself and was almost hit by the shell again. The shock caused by the close range explosion made his eyes hit the commander's periscope, When I got off the bus, I had to bandage my eyebrows and the corners of my eyes again“ Our general Rommel is everywhere! So we must win A captain wrote in his diary: "God sent a great general besides the head of state to save Germany. We are proud of him!"--------------------------- Long Ling took part in a social examination these two days, so because the preparation for the examination is in a mess, I'm here to compensate everyone who supports long Ling.
