Chapter 362 The Bravery of One-Eyed De Gaulle
Entering a minefield, what should I do? The best way, of course, is to step back and step on your own footprints.
Twenty years have passed since the First World War. Many young soldiers were inexperienced, while Charles de Gaulle was experienced.
At this time, his eyes were still hurting like a heartbreaker. He tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and tied his head. De Gaulle knew that he could not go to the hospital in the back right now.
First, save these soldiers. These young lives are the most precious treasures of France. Thinking of the meat grinder of World War I, Charles de Gaulle knew that he must not let these soldiers die in vain.
Step on your own footprints!
The soldiers in front heard de Gaulle's words, but when they looked back, where could they find the footprints?
Finding your own footprints also requires the cooperation of natural conditions. For example, when it has just rained and the ground is wet, it is best to find footprints, or if the ground is soft, it is easy to find footprints.
But what about now?
The ground was hard and dry, and behind them, they couldn't see the footprints at all!
At this time, how to find the footprints just stepped on?
They simply can't find it.
Enduring the severe pain, de Gaulle saw the hesitation of the soldiers, and he knew that he had to save them.
De Gaulle's heroic deeds were spread from this time until the fall of France. De Gaulle fled to England and organized Free France. His deeds were praised by everyone.
The one-eyed General Charles de Gaulle was the most trusted leader of the soldiers.
But now, de Gaulle knew that there were only two paths in front of him.
Or, manual demining.
This is the job of the sappers, but ordinary soldiers are trained to clear mines.
To deal with this kind of landmines, ordinary soldiers can take out their bayonets and stab the ground slowly with moderate force.
In this way, the explosion of mines will not be induced, and then, if no mines are found, a passage can be opened, and if a mine is found, it will be marked.
Landmines also require money. It is impossible for the other party to arrange them closely one by one. Because of the killing range, the landmines are all separated by a certain distance.
So, even if you don't demining, you just need to mark it, that's enough.
It's just, how many untrained soldiers dare to manually clear mines? Poke the ground with a bayonet, they also have to bear considerable mental pressure.
If it's not good, the soldiers who demining will also have to blow up the mines.
And the second method is...
Before de Gaulle could figure it out, he saw the troops on the opposite side entering the minefield, and another change occurred.
"Mom, mom!" A young soldier, just 18 years old, joined the army for only a month, and caught up with this battle. At this time, looking at the surrounding corpses and the bloody scene, Hear the wailing of the undead soldiers.
The soldier collapsed.
He yelled, closed his eyes, and ran back. He didn't care where there were landmines or what was in front of him, he just ran like this, almost frantically!
"No!" De Gaulle shouted: "Quick, go!"
At this point, there is no choice.
For anti-infantry mines, the charge is limited. For tanks, it is impossible to play a destructive effect. At most, it is to blow up a track or something. At least the personnel are safe.
Sacrifice your tank to save those infantry!
Hearing de Gaulle's order, the tanker did not hesitate and immediately stepped on the accelerator.
Amidst the roar of the engine, the S-35 tank saw a stream of black smoke from its tail. The driver stepped on the accelerator, started it, and rushed towards the soldier who ran over.
Get them out! At this time, the tank soldiers were also anxious. Of course, they knew that these infantrymen rushed up to avenge de Gaulle.
They only hope that this soldier will not step on the mine before he starts to move past!
At this moment, the other infantrymen were all looking at the crazy infantryman, at the tank that stepped into the minefield regardless of the danger of the minefield. On the tank, the corners of Colonel de Gaulle's eyes were still oozing blood. But his half-exposed body looks so tall now!
Thank you Colonel de Gaulle!
Everyone is extremely grateful in their hearts. They are looking forward to the arrival of a miracle. If the running soldier is still fine after meeting the tank, then this life channel will be opened up!
It's getting closer and closer!
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, Tank saw that the soldier was about to meet.
"boom!"
The S-35 tank was crushed on a jumping mine. The jumping mine did not bounce into the air. Just after it came out, it hit the track! All the steel balls slammed into the crawler, rushing away with an explosive airflow.
"Crash la la..." The driving wheel was still stirring the track, but the track was broken, so the track, like a belt being pulled out, fell behind and covered the ground.
Inside the tank, several people were blown away by the explosion, but no one was injured.
"My children, follow the tracks of the tank!" De Gaulle stood on top and shouted to the infantry below.
Although the crawler was broken, a passage of life has been opened up. At this time, Charles de Gaulle is the backbone of everyone!
In his eyes, these soldiers are his children.
What is a tank, the life of a soldier is the most important thing.
De Gaulle's attack was quite unsuccessful.
At the same time, it was not just his line of attack, 11 French divisions carefully advanced 8 km in the entire Saarbrücken area, 32 km long, and captured about 20 villages.
However, they killed more than 300 people, almost all of them stepped on landmines!
In front of them was the Vant Forest, which was full of mines. The French army's attack was quite difficult.
The news of the unfavorable frontline attack was quickly transmitted back to Abbeville, where the Supreme Council of the Anglo-French War was being held.
"We can't let our soldiers continue to bleed!" Maurice Gammelin, as the commander-in-chief of the French Army, this army general, loves his soldiers very much.
"Now that we have launched a strong offensive, we will attract at least six German reorganization divisions to withdraw from Poland, and we have completed our commitment to Poland." Gammelin said: "Now, let our troops stop Go ahead!"
France, do not want to fight, move forward, it is the German line of defense, if there is an attack there, the French casualties will be even greater!
