May 13, 1940.
The Dutch army was defeated by the German army, and national sovereignty was lost. The Dutch queen led the government to exile in London.
The 19th armored division and group a army group at the front line of sedang also stopped.
In Germany, the dwarfs are excited by their brilliant achievements, but they are also worried.
If we go on, will the group a army group that the backup can't keep up with will be attacked by the French side.
Now that the results are much bigger than expected, it's time to consolidate the front and ensure superiority in anticipation of the final victory.
But in the view of the generals on the front line, doing so is tantamount to giving up the surprise attack and giving up the opportunity and advantage to further expand the results of the war.
So they called Berlin and argued for an order of "strong investigation" and "expansion of bridgehead positions".
There is a saying that when the general is outside, military orders will not be accepted.
Goodrian made good use of this tradition by using orders flexibly, allowing subsequent infantry and motorcycle mechanics to expand and consolidate bridgeheads.
He himself led his troops along the line of the Somme river.
During this period, the 19th Armored Division engaged in several battles with the French third and fourth armored divisions, and they all successfully repulsed the enemy.
On the 18th, the troops arrived in San cantan.
On the 19th, the 19th Panzer Division forced across the SOM river at goodrian's command. The French armed with crude weapons could only watch the enemy go away before the front and backup tanks arrived.
Seeing that the German tank group had attacked the French reserve team, they decided to flee in disorder with poor weapons and equipment.
But how can they escape the tank and be overtaken by the tank? The escaped soldiers are in despair.
But at this time, they found that the tanks ignored their own existence and passed by them.
Except for a few unfortunate people in the way who were knocked down and injured, and the stupid people who were involved in the track crushing to death, the others were not damaged.
But in the battlefield, people are panicked, many people did not find this scene.
So, the most funny scene appeared.
On the battlefield, the German pursuers left the fleeing French behind, presenting the spectacle of the defeated army chasing the winning army.

"The Dutch were defeated, the queen led the government into exile in London, and the situation in the French campaign worsened. Has mother not decided yet?"
Late at night, after the two children were asleep, Li Zitao and Mary leaned on the head of the bed to discuss the recent situation.
The news of Luxemburg's surrender has spread, and Mary has been in a bad mood recently.
In people's opinion, Luxemburg has become a "traitor" of the allies. Some people describe it as "surrendering so fast that the German army has no time to shoot".
This made Mary in a bad mood, but what worried her even more was that her father-in-law and her mother still stayed in Luxembourg and hesitated to leave.
"My mother wants to wait until the last moment. As a great Duke, she can't just abandon the people. There are simple people there." Mary said with some sadness.
As a great Duke, this is her responsibility, but as a family member, what she does will only make her children worried.
But others have been arranged to go to London to make peace with her grandmother, the queen of the Netherlands, and listen to British news.
Sister Elizabeth and her husband are in Belgium. Mary contacts her. Her new husband, the Baron, makes arrangements to take her away in case of adverse circumstances.
Little Mary is still in school, but recently she has frequently communicated with her sister to express her worries and worries.
The fifth Prince Charles and the youngest Alex were sent to London when Britain and France declared war on Germany and Luxembourg decided to join the war.
However, with the change of the situation recently, the eldest father-in-law and mother-in-law seem to have changed their minds and wanted to send the two of them to the United States of America.
from the current situation and her understanding of the situation, France, once hoped for, is easily burst out like bubbles, and it will not work at the same time.
Without France, how could the British Isles resist the powerful German army which occupied the whole of Western Europe?
France's performance let mother-in-law began to doubt life, and also did not trust the big brother and second brother who were full of confidence before.
In this regard, Li Zitao naturally has no problem. He said that he could send a special plane to pick up the little prince and princess.
It's time for aegis to train hundreds of qualified fighter pilots.
In recent days, orders have come like snowflakes. A French campaign has shocked the whole world about the combat effectiveness of the large-scale military machinery.
The Hercules series of skunk, the new generation of S-4, has just been finalized for production, and has received 200 orders.
The new generation of medium-sized transport aircraft has faster flight speed, longer maximum range and only 2 tons of maximum load.
But in the cabin for multiple segmentation, according to the needs of the transport warehouse can be divided into two layers, six different areas, to deal with multiple needs.And in the armor and electronic equipment, security aspects are not small changes.
The more excellent performance brought about an increase in the price, from the original $153000 to $221000 domestically.
The export price increased from 198900 US dollars to 251300 US dollars, which was still the price negotiated with the Ministry of war for many times.
Otherwise, according to the skunk's original offer, the price will be increased by another fifth.
The "Flying Fortress" developed by skunk's Gruman studio also has a real aircraft, model ng-15, medium-sized bomber.
Single engine, 3.4-ton, full-scale, metal powered.
The maximum range is 2450 km, and the speed can reach 285-355 km / h. It can take 4-6 crew members.
Because of its all metal fuselage, its safety is naturally improved, and it is also the world's first all metal bomber.
The British and American military, which has obtained the data and some non core drawings, has called skunk frequently recently, and even Li Zitao has been harassed.
The king, who had tried to ruin him several times, still could not save his face. He did not call in person, but asked his wife to make several overseas calls to Mary.
Just the day before yesterday, she was still holding her grandmother, the queen of Holland and Mary to pull up the love of the family and the past, just to speed up the order demand of the British side.
The French can't hold on.
It's confidential information on the part of the government, and only when they learned it from the new prime minister, Churchill, did they know how bad the situation was.
Li Zitao felt a little sorry that he had not let his esteemed majesty soften himself. However, in the face of his wife and his amiable Royal Highness, he could only give up this opportunity.
On the phone, Li told the queen that a quarter of the production would be sent to the UK first, and the rest of the order would also be supplied to them as soon as there was a balance.
