Up to now, the conservative French army has not formed an armored division alone! This makes De Gaulle very dissatisfied. Now, can't you see the huge advantage of concentrated application of armor power?
Although dissatisfied, de Gaulle is still firmly carrying out the tasks of his superiors. Now, his task is to drive into Belgium and block the Germans!
De Gaulle followed a large number of troops towards the Belgian territory. In their hearts, although a little impatient, the pride of victory always existed.
Although the German tanks are more advanced, they can definitely stop the Germans! This war will end with the victory of Britain and France!
The tank tracks were crushing the ground and advancing quickly, but as soon as he reached Redell, de Gaulle received a frustrating news.
The fuel supply has not kept up, he needs to wait for the fuel car behind!
Sitting on his tank, de Gaulle was extremely depressed, and to his right was the Ardennes region of Belgium.
At this time, no one knew that in the Ardennes, another tank unit was walking through the forest.
The French defense line is not long, and the central region has almost no defense. In the eyes of all military strategists, the Ardennes area is a natural barrier. The main German armored forces will not choose this area.
There are dense woods everywhere, this kind of place is simply a natural enemy of armored forces!
Now, it is daytime, and the infrared headlights have been turned off, but the woods are always gray. When you look up from the turret, you can't see the sky above you.
At the forefront, Dietrich’s armored division is still the one, and Nespel’s Panther 3 tank is at the forefront of the armored division.
For Nespel’s tank, the turret was backwards, and the barrel was drooped to the rear, which could prevent damage.
Because the barrel is relatively long and has already extended out of the car body, if it hits something in the front, it must be the barrel that hits it first. Once the precision barrel hits, it will be completely scrapped, even if it is bent. One millimeter, the shells shot out will also fly.
Tanker Trige was also driving cautiously at this time. In order to cross this forest, there had been a pioneering force fighting them forward.
In the world, there is no way, but if there are more people walking, it becomes a way.
And now, if there is no road in the forest, then abruptly blaze a trail!
On the stump in front, the sawdust on it is clearly visible, which is a towering tree that has just been sawn off.
In front of them, there are hundreds of scouts, riding motorcycles, clearing the way for them.
"Stop!" Nespel shouted suddenly.
The road in front is wide enough, but there is still a tree on the side. When your tank turns, it is easy to hang on this tree. This is a pine tree that is only a few years old and not very strong. , Only thicker than the thigh.
"Front right, that tree, clear it out." Nespel said.
"Received." Cui Ge shouted loudly: "Stay steady!"
Putting on a low gear and banging the accelerator vigorously, the Panther 3 tank made a roar and slammed into the tree!
Everyone supported the armrests beside him, but Nespel still showed his body and didn't care.
"Boom!" The body of the tank in front of the tank had intimate contact with the tree. Amidst the sound of clattering, the roots of the tree made a cracking sound, and the top of the tree turned towards the front.
The 40-ton Panther 3 tank can easily crash into such a small tree without much feeling.
If you hit a tree surrounded by several people, the Panther 3 tank will be powerless.
Such trees can be seen everywhere in this kind of forest, and the scouts in front just want to open a way.
On a three-wheeled BMW motorcycle, the scout looked at the big tree in front, holding a chain saw, and came over.
"Oh, hum." As he pulled the starter rope, the chain saw was started again. He waved the chain saw and approached the bottom of the trunk.
Suddenly, black smoke came out of the chain saw, and the saw blade had already made close contact with the roots of the tree. Amidst a swarm of sawdust, he first cut out a big triangle.
Tree sawing is exquisite. If the tree falls to another direction during the sawing process, it will cause greater difficulties for the passage of your own troops. Now, on which side of the sawing triangle, the tree will move towards Which direction to fall.
After sawing this half, he saw the other half again. While sawing, he was listening to the sound of the big tree.
"Wow." The leaves made a regular shaking sound, which shows that the tree is about to fall!
Then, the chain saw slackened, and the saw cut here was loosened. He quickly stood up and looked at the treetops.
Experienced lumberjacks will not run around when the tree is down, but will look at the top of the tree. After all, the top of the tree is the fastest. By looking at the top of the tree, you can judge where the big tree is falling.
Now, he didn't need to move at all, watching this towering tree collapse in front of him.
The tree seemed to be telling something.
In the war, life is like grass, not to mention the big trees now, but can be sacrificed at any time When they cross the border, they are careful, but after entering the Ardennes Forest , They just do what they want. There is almost no man’s land here, there is no army defense, no civilians, and at most there are only a few workers who guard the mountains and forests.
When you meet this kind of person, just give them a bullet.
Watching the big tree collapse, the scout closed the chain saw with satisfaction, returned to the motorcycle, and continued to move forward.
In some places, tanks can be allowed to pass, so they don't need to open the way. If you can't pass, gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, trees block and saw trees!
A few minutes later, the tank behind came up rumblingly. The dead branches and leaves in the woods made a creaking sound under the crush of the crawler tracks. When the tank behind came up again, the bottom was Has been crushed.
This forest is the slowest marching area, but also the most unexpected.
When it was dark, Nespel's eyes lit up, and the forest gradually became thinner. It took one night to enter Belgium, and another day to cross the forest!
"Report to the division commander immediately that we have crossed the forest!" Nespel yelled to his radio hand.
The striker has crossed out of the forest! The news was reported to Dietrich’s command vehicle, and then to Guderian’s command vehicle. Finally, it was reported to Berlin via a high-power radio station.
At this time, the atmosphere in Berlin was still tense.
The war has already begun. This is a decisive battle, which is related to Germany's national fortune in the next century.
Many people don't want war to break out. For example, Brausic hasn't closed his eyes since the start of the action. Now his eyes are red and his legs are sore. He has been pacing almost all the time, showing his inner anxiety.
