Chapter 454： Gan Malin's Judgment

This is a battle without any suspense.

One side is a high-spirited tank unit, while on the other side, there are just some panicked cavalry units. The winners and losers have actually been divided before they fight.

The 2nd Cavalry Division ceased to exist within half an hour. In fact, it was only a small unit that was crushed, not even one-fifth of it. However, in the darkness, they retreated shamelessly and failed to make an army. , The establishment of the 2nd Cavalry Division, just like that.

At the same time, the encounter with the 2nd Cavalry Division began to report quickly.

At this time, it was already three in the morning.

When the news was reported to Paris, it was already past four o'clock. Gan Molin in his sleep was hurriedly awakened by the adjutant. Since the war began, he has not rested much.

When rubbing his red eyes and coming to the command room, he saw the grand face of his subordinates.

"What happened?" Gan Molin asked.

"An hour ago, our 2nd Cavalry Division encountered a German tank unit in the western area of ​​the Ardennes Forest. We suspect that the Germans may have entered from the Ardennes Forest and will give us the current front. Brings a huge shock."

The head of the British Expeditionary Force who was present looked at the map with quite worried faces.

All our troops were sent to the northern part of Belgium to stop the Germans. If the Germans suddenly came out from the Ardennes Forest, their backs would be attacked and the situation would be very dangerous!

The situation on the entire battlefield will fall into a huge passivity, and one's own side will even be at risk of being divided and surrounded. This level of importance cannot be overstated.

Now, looking at the front, this place in the Ardennes Forest is our biggest weakness!

Gan Malin thought for a moment, then shook his head: "This is false information."

Gan Malin's judgment was quite rapid, so fast that the British commander could not react at all: "How could it be false information?"

The entire French cavalry division is gone, can it be said to be false information?

"Amidst the towering woods everywhere, tank troops suddenly came out and killed one of our cavalry divisions?" Gan Malin asked rhetorically, "Do you believe it? Did your own armored troops walk through the primeval forest? "

Gan Maling has never been to the Ardennes area, but this does not prevent him from making judgments. As a French veteran, he has studied all the terrain of France and the terrain of all surrounding countries.

The Ardennes area, that piece, is a virgin forest. It can be said that it is not easy for the cavalry to pass, let alone the tank troops. This is simply a joke!

This is even more unacceptable than Hitler’s hypothesis, a big joke!

As a commander, you must have the ability to judge. Moreover, Gan Malin has already contacted some geography experts and went to inspect the Ardennes area. They came to the conclusion that, like Gan Malin's, it is absolutely impossible for a large army to pass!

Tanks need to burn oil and consume ammunition. Even if their tanks can come, how many can they come? Harassment at best!

It is even conceivable that these tanks did not come through the Ardennes forest at all. They may be other means, such as gliders, just like the Germans hitting the Belgian fortresses, and they did the impossible.

The Germans brought the Belgian fortresses with just gliders, which surprised everyone and also showed a problem.

The Germans must take Belgium as their main attack direction.

Otherwise, what are the Germans doing with so much energy?

Therefore, our side should also regard Belgium as a key defensive target. As long as the Germans are blocked in Belgium, the battle will turn into a stalemate and then a counterattack.

This anomaly in the Ardennes shows that the Germans are afraid.

If all of their own troops were pushed up, the Germans would not be able to fight at all. Therefore, the Germans were whimsical and used gliders to drop tanks into this inconspicuous position in an attempt to attract the attention of the French army.

If one finds the seriousness here and mobilizes a large number of troops, then it will happen to be hit by the German tricks!

In just an instant, Gan Malin made this judgment, and now, as his thinking deepened, these principles were all explained.

The Germans are fake!

Thinking of this, Gan Malin was angry. As a French soldier, how could he be timid?

If the 2nd Cavalry Division can discover the size of the opponent, it will be able to kill the Germans with only one firm and resolute encirclement. Unfortunately, they were scared by a few German tanks, and they scattered all in order to prevent military courts. On the allegations of negligence, they actually lied to the military!

"Send me the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division to Paris!" Gan Malin continued.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes Gan Molin wants to go back and take a nap.

"General, don't we mobilize the army to encircle this German army?" Seeing Gan Malin leaving, the person on the side asked quickly.

After all, that is the German tank unit, so let them in?

"Which army is nearby?" Gan Molin said.

"The Fifth Army Tank Unit is nearby."

"Okay, let them go and kill the German troops along the way. Be careful, don't waste time, you must get to the main battlefields of Belgium and the Netherlands as soon as possible." Gan Malin finished speaking and patted his own. Mouth, yawned.

There is still a while until dawn, so I'll squint for a while.

Gan Molin went back, ignoring the people present. As the commander-in-chief, he must ensure enough sleep to have the energy to deal with other things.

Gan Malin didn't know, his judgment completely ruined the hope of victory and completely brought France into the fall.

Arden Forest, it is impossible to pass armored troops, this is a judgment, it is Gan Mo Lin's greatest confidence, he does not know, at the other end, a person has made a judgment loudly and loudly, Arden Forest, can pass his armored troops!

This person is Guderian. Guderian had fought in the Ardennes area during World War I. It was he who cheered up Manstein to take the current action.

And with the order of Gan Molin, another French man ushered in the most glorious and most tragic battle in his life.

When the order was passed to the tank unit of the Fifth Army, it was almost five o'clock, and the sky in the east had turned white. The thin and tall French soldier, wearing a blindfold, began his new day.

"Quickly, get ready to set off right away, we don't have much time!" De Gaulle got up long ago and is urging to his men.
