The Third Reich

Chapter 456: Gan Molin's Judgment

It's a fight without any suspense.

On one side are the tank troops with high morale, while on the other side, there are just some panicked cavalry troops, and the winner has already been decided before they fight.

The 2nd Cavalry Division ceased to exist within half an hour. In fact, only a small force was crushed, not even one-fifth. However, in the dark, they shamelessly retreated, and the army was defeated. , the establishment of the 2nd Cavalry Division, so there is no.

At the same time, the experience of the 2nd Cavalry Division also began to report quickly.

At this time, it was already three in the morning.

When the news was reported to Paris, it was already past four o'clock. Cammelin, who was sleeping, was hastily woken up by the adjutant. Since the war began, he has not had much rest.

When rubbing his red eyes and coming to the command room, he saw the solemn expression on his subordinate's face.

"What happened?" Gan Morin asked.

"An hour ago, our 2nd Cavalry Division, in the western part of the Ardennes, encountered a German tank force. We suspect that the Germans may have broken in from the Ardennes and will give us our current front. It's a huge shock."

The person in charge of the British Expeditionary Force who was present looked at the map with a worried expression on his face.

All our troops were sent to the north of Belgium to stop the Germans. If the Germans suddenly came out of the Ardennes Forest, their backs would be attacked, and the situation would be very dangerous!

The situation of the entire battlefield will fall into a huge passive, and there is even a risk of being surrounded by divisions. This importance cannot be overstated.

Now, looking at the front, this place in the Ardennes Forest is our biggest weakness!

Gan Malin's brain thought for a moment, then shook his head: "This is false information."

Cammelin's judgment was quite fast, so fast that the British commander couldn't react at all: "How could it be false information?"

An entire French cavalry division is gone, can it be called false information?

"In the towering woods everywhere, the tank troops suddenly came out and killed one of our cavalry divisions?" Gan Morin asked in a rhetorical tone: "Do you believe it? Did your own armored troops walk through the primeval forest? "

Cammelin has never been to the Ardennes, but this does not prevent him from making judgments. As a French veteran, he has studied all the terrain in France and the terrain of all the surrounding countries.

In the Ardennes region, that piece is a virgin forest. It can be said that it is not easy for even the cavalry to pass through, let alone the tank troops. This is simply a joke!

This is more unacceptable than the claim that Hitler faked his death, a big joke!

As a commander, you must have the ability to judge. Moreover, Gan Molin has already found some geographers and went to inspect the Ardennes area. They came to the same conclusion as Gan Molin's. There is absolutely no possibility that a large army will pass there!

Tanks need to burn oil and consume ammunition. Even if their tanks can come, how many can they come? At most it's just harassment!

It is even conceivable that these tanks did not actually come through the Ardennes forest at all. There may be other means, such as gliders, just like the Germans attacking the Belgian fortress, and forcibly accomplished the impossible.

The Germans took over the Belgian fortress using only a glider, which surprised everyone and also explained a problem.

The Germans must take Belgium as their main attack direction.

Otherwise, what are the Germans doing with so much effort?

Therefore, they should also regard Belgium as the key defense target. As long as they block the Germans in Belgium, the battle will turn into a stalemate and then counterattack.

This anomaly in the Ardennes just shows that the Germans are afraid.

If all their troops were pressed up, the Germans would not be able to fight at all. Therefore, the Germans used gliders to drop tanks into this inconspicuous position in an attempt to attract the attention of the French army.

If we discover the seriousness of this place and mobilize a large number of troops, it will just fall into the tricks of the Germans!

Just in a split second, Gan Morin made this judgment, and now, with the in-depth thinking, these truths have been explained.

Germans are fake!

Thinking of this, Cammelin felt a burst of anger. As a French soldier, how could he be timid?

If the 2nd Cavalry Division were able to find out the size of the opponent, they could kill the Germans with a firm and decisive siege. Unfortunately, they were frightened by a few German tanks, and they were scattered. In order to prevent the military court On the accusation of dereliction of duty, they actually lied about the military situation!

"Bring me the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division to Paris!" Cammelin continued.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Gan Morin wanted to go back and take a nap.

"General, then we won't mobilize the army to contain the German troops?" Seeing that Ganmelin was about to leave, the people on the side quickly asked.

After all, that was the German tank unit, so let them in like that?

"Which troop is there nearby?" Gan Morin said.

"The Fifth Army Tank Corps is nearby."

"Okay, then let them go over and destroy the German troops on the way. Be careful, you can't delay time, you must get to the main battlefields of Belgium and the Netherlands as soon as possible." Kammelin finished and patted his own. Mouth, yawned.

It's still a while away from dawn, so let's go for a while.

Gan Morin went back, ignoring all the people present. As a commander, he must ensure enough sleep so that he can have the energy to deal with other things.

Cammelin did not know that his judgment completely ruined the hope of victory and completely let France fall.

Ardennes Forest, it is impossible to pass the armored troops. This is a judgment. It is Gan Molin's greatest confidence. He does not know that on the other side, a person has made the judgment loudly and loudly. The Ardennes Forest can pass his own armored troops!

This person is Guderian. During the First World War, Guderian fought in the Ardennes region. It was he who encouraged Manstein to act now.

And with the order of Cammelin, another French man ushered in the most glorious and tragic battle in his life.

By the time the order reached the tanks of the Fifth Army, it was almost five o'clock, the sky in the east had turned white, and the tall, lanky French soldier, wearing a blindfold, started his new day.

"Quick, get ready to go immediately, we don't have much time!" De Gaulle got up early and was urging his men.
