Chapter 291

"Damn it! Were the tanks of the Third Reich really indestructible?"A Gallic tank commander looked very ugly.

Their tank is just an H35 light tank.

It weighs only 13 tons, which is equivalent to one-third of the Panther medium tank. And the tank gun is just It’s just a 37mm tank gun. At a long distance, a tank gun of this caliber is completely useless against the armor of the Panther medium tank.

"Damn it, that Panther tank has spotted us, get moving!"The commander's face suddenly changed and he shouted loudly.

The H5 light tank that had been stationary immediately started to move and wanted to escape.

However, it was already too late.

"boom!"

The tank of Johannes Bolt's crew had already opened fire.

A 75mm tank gun shell accurately hit the H35 light tank. The tank armor, which was only 40mm thick, was penetrated instantly. And , the tank's fuel tank was hit, so that the tank burned instantly.

The crew members inside opened the hatch of the tank and escaped.

But their bodies were already on fire and burning.

These tank soldiers were rolling on the ground. , trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies. However, all this was in vain. They were burned and screamed in agony until they were burned alive.

Such a scene may seem very cruel. However, on the battlefield On the battlefield, all this is normal.

The battlefield is as cruel as Shura's resistance.

In order to survive on the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides must kill the enemy. Otherwise, the ones who will be killed are They.

It is for this reason that they will try their best on the battlefield. The

9th Armor of the Third Reich has firmly occupied the advantage from the beginning of the battle.

The Panther medium tank, as the main force, wantonly The tanks of the Gauls were slaughtered. No matter what model the Gauls' tanks were, they were no match for the Panther medium tanks. So much so that the battle ended in less than half an hour. The Gauls finally rallied All three armored brigades were killed. The battlefield was full of Gaulish tank wreckage. The

9th Armored Division of the Third Reich suffered very small losses.

Next, the 9th Armored took the lead and attacked the Gallic infantry. positions to provide support for one's own infantry divisions.

These infantry divisions of the Third Reich are also in one tank battalion, and they also have good armor combat capabilities. There is a serious lack of anti-tank weapons, and at the same time they have to resist the Third Reich. The Gallic infantry of the Air Force could not withstand it at all.

Less than two hours later, the Gallic infantry collapsed.

A large number of Gallic infantry surrendered to the Third Reich while leaving.

Laon naturally fell into it easily In the hands of the Third Reich.

After taking Laon, two infantry divisions were left to garrison here to build a defense line, preparing to resist the Gauls' counterattack and intercept the main Gaulish forces moving south from Flanders. 9th Armor Division and another infantry division continued to attack westward.

Among other things, other troops of Group A were also advancing crazily westward. General

Desteter, commander of Army Group A, ordered that each army group, each The infantry division and the armored division advance westward as quickly as possible, all the way to the sea. In this way, they will undoubtedly be able to achieve the entire strategic goal, surround the main force of the Gauls, and then annihilate them.

Sedan, third The headquarters of Army Group A of the Imperial Army.

When Army Group A of the Army Group attacked Li, General Rundstedt had moved the headquarters here from the territory of the Third Reich.

Although, the battle was not over yet, Sedan It’s not considered a rear area, and there are still some dangers.

However, General Rundstedt didn’t care at all.

In his opinion, if a commander doesn’t even have the courage to put his headquarters on the battlefield , then he is not suitable to be a commander at all.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the 3rd Armored Army is advancing smoothly. The 10th Armored Division had already reached Saint-Quentin. Next, the 10th Armored Division will advance towards Amiens. The 8th Armored Division will advance towards Lens. After the 9th Armored Division captured Laon again, it was also advancing westward. The 4th Army and the 5th Army followed the 3rd Armored Army in the attack. The troops advanced smoothly."General Manstein was smiling.

After Army Group A came out of the Ardennes area, it really caught the Gauls off guard.

Now, the troops deployed by the Gauls in the north simply cannot withstand the third force. The troops' attack.

General Rundstedt nodded with a smile on his face.

"The 1st Panzer Army was on the sidelines? How is Lance's battle going? General Lundstedt asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the resistance of the Gaulish 5th Army is very tenacious. Although we have eaten a considerable number of their troops. But they didn't collapse there. Now, the 1st Armored Army is cooperating with the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army to encircle and destroy the 5th Gallic Army. At this rate, it will take two to three days to end the battle."Admiral Manstein said.

After hearing this, Admiral Rundstedt couldn't help but frown.

"It was necessary for the 1st Armored Army to remain in Reims. The main combat power of armored forces is reflected in assault, not positional warfare. The rest of the battle in Lance will be left to the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army. Anyway, the infantry divisions under these two group armies also have a lot of tanks. There is no need for the 1st Panzer Army to be wasted here anymore."Admiral Rundstedt said

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"General Manstein nodded.

"Let the 1st Armored Group immediately set off from Reims and attack westward. Let the 1st Army and the 7th Army operate together with the 1st Armored Army. Our most important goal now is to push all the way to the seaside and completely cut off the passage of the main force of Gaul going south. This is the most important thing!"General Rundstedt said.

All the important military strength of the entire Army Group A must be used in this round of fierce attacks.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"General Manstein replied

"Contact the Air Force, we need their strong support. In addition, Army Group B cannot just watch. After finishing their rest, it was time for them to go south and hold back the Gauls from going south."Admiral Rundstedt continued._To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
