Chapter 2064 Destruction Three
The side of another chariot was hit by a large-caliber machine gun at close range, leaving a series of bullet holes after the machine gun shot on the gray-white steel plate. You can smell a smell mixed with burnt meat.
These thin-skinned guys with sharp blades try to fight back against their opponents, but the heavy hull and non-rotating artillery make these chariots as cumbersome as lame cows! The attack on the opposite side is weak, but it is enough to penetrate the paper-like defense. The heavy artillery of the British has become a burden at this time. The engine is roaring and trying to turn the car body, and the huge artillery is aimed at the high-speed moving target in front of it. One after another, under the quick and deadly attack of the opponent like an assassin, the last pillar of the British armored forces fell apart!
The fast and violent penetration of the Germans quickly disrupted the position of the British. Facts have proved that the self-propelled anti-tank guns that simply emphasize firepower can indeed give the armor of the frontal attack under the protection of complete bunkers and sufficient troops on the flanks. Troops cause huge damage, but in a complex field environment, a lightly armored unit carrying large-caliber machine guns and machine guns can cause huge casualties to them.
After losing the heavy anti-tank guns behind the formation, the British armored forces on the front were on the verge of collapse under the attack of the German armored forces whose number was not less than their own. Easy to kill the opponent under the circumstances!
Accompanied by the roar of artillery and violent explosions again and again, several British tanks were destroyed every minute. These wreckages spread all over the battlefield. Climbed out of the chariot, and before they had time to surrender, the driven Germans harvested them with submachine guns and rifles. Unlike the French, Ruprecht didn't want too many British prisoners! So even the persuasion to surrender is exempted! Of course, if the opponent has put down their weapons and raised their hands, they can still spare their lives. After all, for a pure soldier like Su Xiong, the Earl of Blood is a neutral nickname, but Rupre Hitt didn't want to bear a title like an executioner.
After 5 hours of fighting, the Mike Armored Division, with the cooperation of the follow-up troops, has completely defeated the three rear divisions of the British army. Under the command of Lieutenant General Hall, the German army has also blocked the main force of the British army. Cut off, and the follow-up troops completely encircled the second half of the British army, and at the same time defeated the last armored force of the British army, and the German army will continue to advance, biting the first half of Hamilton's army.
"What do the French say?" At this time, Hamilton absolutely did not dare to order the troops to go on. In this era, most of the troops that have separated from the railways use two legs to maneuver. It is not bad for a division to be able to walk 25 kilometers a day, but what about an army group? 20 kilometers a day is already a miracle, so Hamilton knows very well that if the Germans control the sky, going any further will collapse! This time, Lord Hamilton did not blame the British Air Force. The British did their best to ensure the safety of the British airspace, but the British Air Force, with a total of less than 600 available aircraft, was still unable to break through the blockade of the German Air Force. At the same time, some bombers The troops also carried out suppressive attacks on the British army's field airports, so the Royal Air Force really tried their best, but it was of no use!
"The French say they are trying to break through the German lines," said a staff officer.
"Has the French main force taken any action?" Hamilton continued to ask.
"There was no action, but a fierce exchange of fire broke out in front of the French positions. It seems that they also bear a certain amount of pressure." Another British officer said.
"I feel that there is something wrong with Foch's head! At this time, the front line can't be maintained. The best option must be to leave some troops for defense, and then the main force will join us immediately and stop where we are, waiting to die?" Lord Hamilton Gao cursed!
When night fell, Lord Hamilton and his men spent the most difficult night since the war began. They can't go anymore, the French defense line is useless at all, the troops are cut into two pieces, one part is surrounded, and the other part is killed, this is behind the front line, there is no time and no ready defense system, the whole The front line has been torn apart, and hundreds of thousands of German troops are crossing the line of defense and wantonly chasing and killing the British army on the plains.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to leave anymore." Lord Hamilton said with a sigh.
"Your Excellency, don't you think today's events are weird?" Montgomery said suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Lord Hamilton frowned and asked.
"The Germans played too smoothly. In one day, at least 8 division-level units crossed the French defense line, and don't you think this timing is too coincidental?" Montgomery had no evidence, but just told him that the French People are very problematic.
"In addition, a strong German army has entered the rear of the French and severely damaged the French reserve. Now we are facing a double attack situation at any time, but the French have never mentioned to us how to deal with this deep penetration. Reserve. This is not normal! After all, the Germans have cut off the supply of the French. Even if the French provide us with cover, then we will be required to deal with this inserted German army. But they didn't even mention it, as if this There's no such thing as an army," Montgomery said.
"You mean, the Germans and the French have reached a certain kind of tacit understanding?" Lord Hamilton himself was taken aback when he said this. He only felt a gust of cold air rushing directly from the tailbone to the forehead!
"Report the situation to Marshal Haig immediately." Lord Hamilton said after hesitating for a few minutes. Now, it has come to a critical moment, when it is better to believe what is there or not to believe what is not, the British army must find ways to protect itself. As for the evidence? What is the use of this thing? Don't try the case. The current situation on the western front is basically that Britain and France are guarding their own positions. If the French are really unreliable, then the British will have to consider the way out. It is impossible to block it. Throw some and withdraw some!
"Shall we stop checking?" Montgomery was also surprised by the Lord's decisiveness. After all, this is not a trivial matter. He just raised a possibility, but the Lord chose the most thorough method! This decisiveness shocked Montgomery very much. However, in fact, this kind of decisiveness is the necessary factor in the decision-making of major powers. How many things have ended up going bad because of the problem of time?
