Chapter 2061: Betrayal II
"Then aren't you afraid that something unexpected will happen to your country one day in the future?" Petain frowned and said.
"Power itself is not terrible. What is terrible is not knowing the gap in power. If you can recognize the gap in power between each other and choose your own position, then many unnecessary disputes in the world can be avoided. This is also a strategic decision. , Don’t you think so?” Lieutenant General Shure said meaningfully.
"You are really confident. In my opinion, the difference in strength between countries of the same magnitude can be made up for. We need ideas more often." Petain retorted with some dissatisfaction.
"Then let's wait and see." Lieutenant General Schur obviously didn't want to get more entangled in this kind of matter. Everyone came to work together, not to quarrel....
Ever since, when the British were completely unprepared and ready to flee, the Germans aimed at the back of the British, but the French, who were supposed to cover the back of the British, ended up standing still! Of course, it’s not accurate to say that. Some so-called defense changes have been carried out, but there are only three hours until dawn. As Montgomery said, even if an immediate defense change is arranged, it cannot be completed. What's more, the French still intend to procrastinate. After the Germans got the news, they deliberately launched the attack an hour earlier. And it's quite weird when attacking!
On the opposite side of a position that the French had just taken over, a light source suddenly flickered in the dark night in the distance. After more than a dozen frequent flickers, the French responded decisively. A few minutes later, the German bombardment began. Of course , Unlike the kind of planned and purposeful shelling that is usually used to fight against the storm before the real attack, the shelling tonight is very prevaricated. You can understand that on the Western Front, it is not normal not to fire a few shots at night. And amidst the sparse sound of artillery fire, the low sound of an engine came from a distance.
When the morning star rose, the swaying figure in the distant night gradually became clear.
"It's a German wolf tank. Our 75MM rapid-fire guns can't destroy it at all. At a distance of less than 100 meters, the armor-piercing shells fired can only leave a dent on the front. Thank God, we finally don't have to face it." I'm sorry for this horrible guy." A French soldier who participated in the previous battle said with lingering fear.
Tanks appeared on the French positions one after another, and several German liaison officers jumped off the tanks to communicate with the French who were in charge of the liaison. Afterwards, these giant steel beasts followed the engineering soldiers of the two countries to rest. The road on the road crossed the line of defense, and when this rather large German army crossed the line of defense, there was suddenly a dense exchange of fire on this line of defense! The roar of the artillery instantly broke the peace of the battlefield!
The Germans never thought of only cheating the British once! There is a time gap between the two battles of destroying the Hamilton Army and launching a general attack on the British army on the northern front. Therefore, some things need to be done in full and cannot be singled out. At least this time, France and Germany need to cooperate to convince the British At present, Britain and France are still allies. Of course, it doesn't take too long. It takes 2 to 3 days to confuse the British!
"Report to Your Excellency, Commander. The French report that the front line they just took over was attacked by the German army." At this time, Lord Hamilton, who was already in the car and was about to transfer, received the front-line telegram just sent.
"The French have just entered the front line, and the artillery and other important supporting firepower have not yet been in place. If the German army breaks through the defense line at this time, the probability is still very high, and the consequences will be very serious. Our three divisions were directly bitten by the opponent. ’ said an officer.
"It doesn't matter, our rear guard is the most elite. I have already thought about this problem. If there are only a small number of German troops, our rear guard will not be afraid at all.
Of course, I will also order the Air Force to provide immediate support. We can't just go at night, we have to travel during the day. said Lord Hamilton.
"This time feels a bit weird." At this time, in another truck, Montgomery frowned anxiously. He had already smelled some conspiracy from this incident. He had no evidence, but just a feeling. After all, why did the Germans suddenly attack when the French just switched defenses? !
No matter whether Lord Hamilton responded or not, and no matter how far Montgomery's guess was from the truth, one thing is certain, that is, the existence of the Hamilton Army can only be counted in hours. In half the time, the German army who sneaked across the line of defense had already collided with the British rearguard!
"The British are more organized than the French." Looking at the British army in the distance, Major General Mike, known as Armored Mike, put down the binoculars in his hand and said. Although the French agreed to be the queen, it is naturally impossible for the British to completely put their own safety on the Germans. Let alone the issue of mutual trust, even if Britain and France are true allies, they just can't stop them. What can you do? ! Therefore, the British left the most elite armored troops behind just to prevent accidents, but this time, the British made the right bet!
Of course, if one thing is done right, the whole war may not turn around. The result will be whatever it is. After all, in a fair situation, as long as the gap is not too big, the British armored forces will definitely not be able to defeat the Germans, let alone now!
"Let's get started, kill them! We have to hurry!" Major General Mike ordered, and then, the German army of an armored division launched an attack on the British army of the last three divisions! The British 7th Armored Division and the 3rd Armored Brigade of the Anzacs were the first to meet the German armored spearhead!
"Damn it, the French are dead so soon?" A British officer looked at the rolling German tanks in the distance, his face instantly turned livid. Subsequently, a series of shells crossed the battlefield and directly blasted fireballs in the British army. The war broke out!
"All the armored forces attack freely, bite the opponent, and kill all their tanks! Our task is to smash this hardest bone, and other things will be handled by other troops!" Major General Mike repeated the previous message through telegrams. Order.
"Attack" hundreds of tanks and assault guns unfolded into a huge attack front, like an eagle spreading its wings, and rushed towards the British army in the distance. From the formation point of view, the layout is relatively loose. The German army wanted to include all the British troops in the front, instead of penetrating a little bit and interspersed in depth. And the choice of the Germans also gave the British a little hope for victory. After all, it seems that the British army has more people and more tanks!
