Three Hundred and Thirty Rush to the Sea

An armored vehicle made ruts on the soft sand, and then smashed through the bushes without any scruples, exposing its dirty front. ∷4∷5∷M∷Originally, the front of the car was painted white for winter camouflage, but due to time and environment, it is full of scratches, oil stains and mud and dust on it—in short, you only need to Once you take a look at it, you won't want to reach out and touch it.

The commander of the armored vehicle lifted the hatch above the turret, revealing a tired face. He hadn't had a decent rest for days. The dirty face was also full of oil stains and dust, and many stains could be seen on the black armored uniform, and the pink neckline representing the armored arms was also slightly dark red because it had not been cleaned for a long time.

The thick communication antenna formed a railing-like shape around the turret. This kind of equipment ensured that even in a fierce battlefield or in dense forests, the antenna would not be broken due to accidents. Of course, such a large antenna also allows the radio communication equipment in this armored reconnaissance vehicle to be sufficient to contact the main force tens of kilometers away.

They are the armored reconnaissance battalion of the 7th Armored Division of the 7th Armored Army. They are warriors who always run at the forefront of the troops.

This 6-wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle has a very perfect bulletproof shape, and it is difficult to penetrate its thick armor from almost any angle. Moreover, this kind of equipment has a very powerful engine, which can provide stable and strong power, so that this armored vehicle can guarantee a much faster speed than a tank in most cases. Of course, the 20 mm caliber machine gun it is equipped with is one of the standard weapons of German fighter jets. It has an extraordinary rate of fire and first-class penetration performance. With the coaxial 7.92 mm caliber machine gun, it is simply a nightmare for French light tanks and infantry. .

With this kind of advanced equipment, the armored reconnaissance troops of the German army can often face the French army independently. They are like the wolf knights in the game, strangling the opponent's reconnaissance troops, making sneak attacks and setting up ambushes with flexibility, like insidious and cunning The devil is elusive.

Cooperating with a large number of reconnaissance teams equipped with BMW motorcycles, these fully mechanized scouts formed an impenetrable net in front of the advancing tank and armored units to drive away the opponent's scout units and test the strength of the opponent's defense line. Weakness, remove some simple obstacles - it is no exaggeration to say that because of such an efficient armored reconnaissance force, the German armored force is now invincible.

"Hello! Hello! This is the No. 3 Scout Vehicle, 1st Platoon, 2nd Company, Scouting Battalion.

Call the battalion department, please answer if you hear it! "The captain grabbed the walkie-talkie of the high-power radio and asked loudly.

The half of his body exposed outside the turret swayed slightly from side to side with the shaking of the armored vehicle, and a very happy expression appeared on his face. Beside him, the gunner in charge of the machine gun also poked his head out and let out a loud cheer.

"Hiss... This is the battalion headquarters! We can hear your call! We can hear your call! Please speak!" In the headset, the loud voice of the communication personnel of the reconnaissance battalion headquarters came.

The captain looked at the golden sand beach and the endless sea in the distance directly in front of the armored vehicle, smiled and licked his lips. On the turquoise blue sea there, the snow-white waves beat on the beach, making a refreshing sound.

The commander pressed the communicator and said with a smile: "Report to the battalion! Report to the battalion! We have reached the English Channel! The English Channel is in front of me!"

"The weather is fine today. If I were you, I would go down and wash your ass!" The communication officer on the radio side joked: "I will submit your report to the division headquarters, Long Live Yuan."

"Long live Yuan! I'm taking off my clothes!" The commander laughed and turned off the intercom, then glanced at the gunner and continued, "Are you interested in going to the sea to wash your butt?"

"I'm afraid I'll freeze my baby." The gunner laughed loudly.

Soon, news of the arrival of the forward troops of the 7th Panzer Army in the English Channel reached Rommel's military headquarters.

"Long live Yuan! Report to the general! The 2nd Company of the Divisional Reconnaissance Battalion of the 7th Armored Division has arrived in the English Channel. We have completely sealed off the way for the British and French allied forces to retreat southward in Belgium." The chief of staff rang Rommel with a telegram. The door of the established frontline headquarters.

Rommel was looking at the nearby combat map at the front of his desk. He predicted that the 7th Panzer Corps would complete the final task assigned by Yuan today, but he did not expect the news to come so quickly.

He straightened up, but the chief of staff looked carefully at the phone in his hand, then raised his head and said with a smile: "I think we should get a bottle of French red wine at this time, and then toast to celebrate. But I want to do it more What I want to do is to take a ride on the new gadget sent by Berlin and go to the beach on the English Channel to have a look."

"General, although the new equipment has passed a safety test, if you must go, it is safer to take an armored vehicle..." the staff officer said with a frown. But in my heart, I complained helplessly: Can't you be more stable and make our subordinates feel better? I already feel like I'm losing years of my life by engaging in some mind-blowing thrills every day!

"It's okay! I've talked with several pilots directly under the military department, and they all said that the thing is actually quite safe." Rommel said excitedly while loading the camera with the test paper: "You don't know, that thing It's really a good thing. Our yuan is really powerful, it seems that it can create anything!"

Originally, Rommel liked to take a light upper-wing reconnaissance plane to take pictures over the front troops, but because of the need for a field airport, this kind of entertainment was often an unattainable temptation for Rommel. This time, Berlin produced a batch of helicopters, and it is said that there are a total of 100. This new type of aircraft can take off and land without relying on airport facilities, so Rommel immediately coveted it.

As Yuan's favorite armored unit, and as one of the most respected generals in these armored units, Rommel's request would naturally not be rejected by Akado. So Yuan personally ordered that each armored army headquarters be equipped with a helicopter as equipment for special missions.

Of course, the so-called special missions actually have various contents. For example, Guderian likes to use helicopters to deliver some important dispatches; while Rommel likes to use helicopters to go to the front to take pictures and inspect.

After installing the camera, Rommel put on his leather trench coat, pulled his staff officer and walked out the door, and handed over the task of arranging the defense to his deputy commander. One after the other, the two came to a flat piece of land, where a brand new Crusader helicopter was parked.

"Long live Yuan! General!" The ground maintenance personnel of the helicopter saw Rommel and immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"I'm going to take a plane to see the English Channel, start the engine immediately!" Rommel walked to the helicopter with a smile, found a seat and sat on it, and then fastened the seat belt on himself. He fixed his sitting posture, then took off the headset and throat talker used to communicate with the pilot from the side, and put them on the top of his head.

The pilot also boarded the plane around the same time, inspected the fuel tanks and communications systems, and then confirmed that some equipment was working properly. After that, the pilot on the co-pilot checked the ammunition of the machine gun fixed beside him, and then started the plane.

The engine of the plane let out a deafening roar, and the huge airflow blew the mud on the ground to the surroundings. The entire helicopter shook slightly, then flew into the air and left the ground. The pilot continued to increase the power, and the plane slowly rose until it was tens of meters above the ground before stopping, adjusted its posture slightly, and flew in the direction Rommel requested.

On the ground, one tank after another was winding forward along the road, and the grenadiers on both sides of the road were tiredly following these tanks and armored vehicles with their weapons on their backs. Rommel saw some soldiers looking up. , waving at his helicopter. The top of the tank's turret was paved with the German swastika flag, which was used for target identification by the air force. He picked up the camera and pressed the shutter on this torrent of steel rushing forward.

The helicopter continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for the scenery below to change. The buildings on the ground were burning, and the black smoke pillars were connected one after another. Thousands of French soldiers walked dejectedly on the muddy country road. On both sides of the road, the German soldiers responsible for escorting these French prisoners were sharing cigarettes comfortably. .

One after another, French heavy guns were stacked on the side of the road, full of curious German soldiers, and captured trucks and horses everywhere, so many that the staff officers around Rommel stared wide-eyed.

The French prisoners looked to the sky in frustration, because there was the sound of an engine that they had never heard before. They were horrified to see a wingless plane flying overhead, making a chug-chug sound, the huge propeller was above the whole plane, and the people on the plane were taking pictures with their cameras.

The times are changing so fast, and the new weapons of the German army are emerging one after another, not only changing the appearance of war, but also affecting people in this world in every detail. Both the United States and Japan are eager to equip tactical vests, a new cross-age gadget, and the British new fighter "Hurricane" has begun intensive test flights-a year ago, people never thought of making such a huge change.
