"Your Excellency, Commander, General Rommel's 2nd Armored Army has broken through the defense line of the 1st Army of Flanders. Its main forces, the 5th Armored Division and the 1st Armored Division, were taking a circuitous route, preparing to outflank the retreat of the 1st Army of Flanders. The 8th Army was advancing behind the 2nd Armored Group. The frontal defense lines, the 9th Army and the 10th Army, were continuing to suppress the Flanders army. This battle is expected to end soon. General Heinrich smiled.

General Fedor Bock nodded:"To defeat the 1st Army of the Kingdom of Flanders in just three days is not something to be proud of." We have assembled 600,000 people and received strong air support."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. However, the Kingdom of Flanders was backed by a solid defense line. When we attack their heavily garrisoned defense lines, we always suffer a huge loss."Admiral Heinrich said.

Admiral Fedor Bock smiled.

In terms of the Third Reich's powerful armor strength and air power, attacking the enemy's heavily garrisoned defense line is indeed a disadvantage. If it is a field battle, The powerful armor power of the Third Reich is enough to tear the enemy into pieces.

"Da da da!"

Several BF-109 fighter jets flew across the road, and the aviation machine guns fired wildly.

"General, the road was blown up. Repairs are underway. But it takes some time."A general reported

"Damn the Germans, they are determined not to let us retreat!"Admiral Gérard couldn't help but curse.

With the help of the air force, the retreat of the remnants of the 1st Army of the Kingdom of Flanders was slowed down.

So much so that the 2nd Armored Army and the 8th Army of the Third Reich successfully moved in front of them.

"The expeditionary force of the Empire on which the sun never sets? We had just eaten the 1st Army of the Kingdom of Flanders when they arrived. However, this is a good opportunity for us. Give the order to the 2nd Armored Army and let them and the 8th Army attack the 1st Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Force frontally and defeat them! The 9th Army and the 3rd Army are accelerating towards Brussels. If we can eat the 1st Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Force on which the sun never sets, then we will have a greater advantage!"General Fedor Bock's face was full of smiles.
