Chapter 499： Wei Gang is going to counterattack

Reynolds agreed to Churchill's plan, which made Churchill very satisfied. Now, this plan must be carried out immediately. Withdrawal as much as possible!

If it is too late, once the German encirclement is encircled and the port is taken down by the Germans, they will not be able to retreat!

"Also, now, the French navy must also make early plans. Italy has declared war on France. In order to prevent the Italian navy from attacking the French navy, I suggest that the French navy can be withdrawn to the UK." Churchill continued. .

Churchill’s other plan was to incorporate the French navy. Now, he suggested that the French navy retreat to the United Kingdom, which is naturally the first step to incorporate them.

"Well, when needed, I can order the navy to retreat to England." Renault agreed to Churchill's suggestion.

Hearing Renault’s words, Churchill was extremely delighted in an instant. He stood up and said to Chancellor Renault: “Now, Germany is in full swing. As long as we have firm beliefs and persevere, we will definitely win the final victory.”

At this moment, his brows continued to frown, and the intense pain in the heart caused big beads of sweat on his forehead. He couldn't hold on anymore, his eyes went dark, and he followed , Is about to fall to the ground.

"Prime Minister Churchill?" The surroundings exclaimed.

"Quickly, call an ambulance!"

Churchill was quickly taken away and went to the best hospital in Paris. Renault looked at the people present, and suddenly felt a kind of sadness. It seemed that Churchill's fall indicated something.

"Now, I announce a new decision." Renault said: "Our cabinet will be reorganized and I will serve as the Minister of Defense."

Now that the war has been fought, it must be reorganized. Otherwise, how can we explain it to the people?

"At the same time, recall Marshal Petain and come to be the deputy prime minister of our cabinet." Renault continued to announce his appointment.

This year, Marshal Petain is 83 years old. He is the Spanish ambassador. At the same time, he is also the veteran of the First World War. With enough prestige, he will be able to lead the French people through the predicament that appears.

Wei Gang was happy, he knew that his appointment was coming soon.

"At the same time, Gan Molin was removed from the post of commander-in-chief of the French Army and Wei Gang was appointed commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force.

Sure enough, when Wei Gang was mentioned, Wei Gang was very happy. He said to Renault: "Prime Minister, I have made a plan to save our current dangerous situation!"

When Churchill was there, Wei Gang couldn't refute it because he didn't have the power yet, but now, since he has served as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he will immediately take up his post. He already has a plan in his heart.

Reynolds suddenly stunned, "What plan? I just agreed to Churchill to withdraw the army from the north and preserve our strength."

Renault has already thought about it, withdrawing troops and preserving strength, this is indeed the correct plan.

"Yes, I agree with this plan." Wei Gang said: "However, if we retreat unplanned, it can only evolve into a rout. German armored forces can easily catch up with our troops, preventing us from retreating smoothly. Therefore, I think that before we retreat, we have to fight one or two beautiful counterattacks to prevent the Germans from daring to advance, and we have more opportunities to retreat."

Counterattack! Now Wei Gang has made up his mind. With so many Anglo-French coalition forces, should we still be afraid of the Germans who will come over on the expedition?

A good counterattack can boost morale!

Now, I was just frightened by the German blitzkrieg. As long as we organize a resolute and fierce counterattack, let the troops see that the German armored soldiers are far from that powerful, it can greatly boost morale and finally win!

Now, facing Prime Minister Renault, he can't tell his real plan. As long as his counterattack is successful, the subsequent counterattack will of course be able to continue to advance!

Renault agreed to Wei Gang's plan, so on the same day, the day Wei Gang took office, a new strategy had begun.

The orders were passed on.

Wei Gang was also quite shrewd. He assigned the main task of the counterattack to the British First Armored Division.

At first, in order to deter Germany, the First Armored Division came to France in February and participated in the military parade. After the military parade, the First Armored Division stayed in France.

At the same time, other subsidiary units of the First Armored Division were also successively transported from Britain. After that, it was deployed to the Maginot Line.

They did not catch up with any major wars. When they came from the south of France to the north, the encirclement of the Germans was about to be formed. At this time, there were two roads before them. Attack or retreat?

Taking the order from the French army commander Wei Gang, the division commander Roger Evans couldn't help but frowned.

Wei Gang asked them to attack!

Passing through the Abbeville Bridgehead, cut off the retreat of the 4 German armored divisions and merged with the main force of the British Expeditionary Army infantry division to the north. Then, eat these four German armored divisions!

One of their armored divisions, of course, could not complete this task. Therefore, behind them, there was the French 10th Army as a backing. In terms of strength, it was quite a lot.

As long as they tear their mouth open, the 10th Army will be able to follow up and expand the results. Wei Gang's appetite is not small, and he wants to eat the four German armored divisions at once!

If this plan is completed, it can be said that it can completely turn the tide of the battle, but now, can it be completed?

General Evans’ brows are frowning Now, his troops are full. Before the war is about to break out, his armored division is finally full, the planned 3rd armored brigade I gave it to him, but what's the use?

His army is still based on the "Matilda" 1 tank. The 3rd Armored Brigade is the latest establishment and the equipment is a little more advanced. What's the use?

The Covenant cruiser tank weighing only 18 tons was developed in a hurry from the rear to deal with the German armored forces. Where to hurry? So that it has not been tested at all, and it has entered mass production!

From the appearance point of view, its diamond-shaped turret is very distinctive. It completely absorbs the characteristics of the German inclined armor. Under the same weight, it greatly increases the protection force. The car body is also the same. The 16 mm thick inclined armor reaches 30 mm. Thick protection ability.

Its developers claim that this tank can counter the latest German tanks, but Evans has no such confidence.

Even if there are dozens of tanks, can they change the situation? They are also at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. What's even more frightening is that now, the military is in chaos.
