Chapter 463 De Gaulle's Death
There is only one or two seconds left for de Gaulle. At this time, as a great French soldier, the lanky de Gaulle shed his last drop of blood.
The machine gun in his hand is still firing, and he can even confirm that his bullet must have hit the opponent's plane, but he just can't shoot down the opponent, which is simply too speechless.
"Boom!" The 40mm armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the small turret of the B-type tank, almost a dozen centimeters in front of De Gaulle, and got in!
The high-speed flying armor-piercing projectile brought a terrifying air current. In this air current, de Gaulle felt his body, like fallen leaves in the wind, falling backwards.
Then, his legs were completely numb.
After the armor-piercing projectile penetrated the weak top armor of the turret, it passed directly through his legs. Almost instantly, his legs turned into foam. At this moment, there was no pain, only numbness.
The lower body is gone, and his upper body is still intact for the time being.
"Boom!" The armor-piercing projectile continued to travel inside the turret, stabbing behind the turret, where the shells were stacked. Under the huge kinetic energy, the shells were instantly detonated.
This brought a second explosion, this time, more violent.
In fact, the so-called explosion is the process of the rapid expansion of the burning explosive, and the pressure and temperature rise sharply. If the turret is airtight, the turret must have been flown first. Now, the top of the turret is open, and de Gaulle is there. stand there.
Therefore, when the martyrdom occurred, the high-pressure gas spewed out from the hatch cover in an instant, and in this airflow, the upper half of de Gaulle's body was lifted off.
At this time, de Gaulle's right hand had given up the machine gun, but his left hand was still waving the French flag.
He still seems to be chanting, go, go!
Unfortunately, he no longer has any consciousness.
All the armored soldiers saw this scene, their commander was killed, and there were no bones left.
run, run!
The FT-17 tank that landed at the back turned the vehicle and quickly retreated to the back. The other heavy tanks were difficult to turn around, so they simply hung up and started in reverse. No one wanted to fight anymore.
In the sky, the HS129 attack planes swooped down from above, and each dive would bring about the martyrdom of a tank on the ground, bringing terrifying death.
In front of the plane, the tank is so small!
No matter what kind of tank is, it can't compare with the mobility of the plane. The FT-17 tanks at the back were quickly overtaken by the HS-129. The tank soldiers were frightened. They knew that they were in the tank and only died!
So, drop the tanks, they all run away from the tanks, leave the tanks and bomb the Germans!
Lieutenant Weber looked at the French soldiers with a smile on his face.
His 12 shells have been fired and 11 tanks have been destroyed. This is definitely a good result. However, he is not satisfied. Now, the French soldier just ran out of the tank. Leave it to your machine gun to solve it. !
Lowering his plane, almost touching the ground, Lieutenant Weber piloted his HS-129 and fired a shuttle of bullets at the fleeing French soldiers.
"Da da da." Amidst the sound of machine gunfire, several French soldiers who were still fleeing were shot in the back. Under the impact of the bullet, their bodies continued to run forward two or three steps before they fell to the ground.
As a soldier, the most embarrassing thing is being shot in the back!
Here, there are no more decent battles, some are just a massacre!
On the other side, in Belgium, a large-scale battle is about to start.
Maas River.
The Sixth Army in Reichenau had already crossed the Maas River and joined the vanguard of the Belgian fortress, and the strength of the Maas River was not the only force of the Sixth Army.
On the entire front, in all directions, it can be said that in all the river basins of the Meuse, the German army had to cross the Meuse.
Among them, the German 15th Panzer Corps, which rampaged in Belgium, was led by the 7th Panzer Division.
Yes, the 7th Panzer Division.
When this armored division was formed, it was aimed at North Africa. In order to protect the oil bases in Libya, Cyric planned to move the 7th Armoured Division to North Africa.
However, this did not get Italy's approval. When Libya was bombed, Mussolini was emotional and wanted to seek revenge from the British. In this case, Cyric and Mussolini reached an agreement, each attacking his own. of.
Mussolini attacked Egypt in the east, while Cyric's forces attacked France in the west.
Several infantry divisions have arrived in Libya one after another to protect their bases in Libya, while the 7th Armored Division, the main force, stayed for the time being and waited until France was over.
At such a time, it was time for the Italians to have a taste of the power of the British. When they hit a wall, it was time to turn to Germany. At that time, Rommel would justifiably be the commander-in-chief of the entire North African army.
Moreover, Rommel is eager to fight and defeat his old enemy, France, how can Rommel be missing!
In this case, Rommel's 7th Panzer Division finally entered the war.
The combat target of the 7th Armoured Division was Dinant. As Rommel's troops surged, there was a gap of more than 30 kilometers between the German 15th Panzer Corps and the neighboring 41st and 19th Panzer Corps.
Between their attacking arrows, there are wide defensive flaws. If the French army or the Belgian army come to a counter-assault, interspersed through these gaps, they can directly cut off their back road, and it may turn the war situation. Unfortunately, now they are Having been beaten into a panic, he never thought of organizing a counterattack.
On the afternoon of the 12th, Rommel's troops arrived on the east bank of the Maas River.
Standing on the land on the east bank of the Maas River, looking at the French soldiers rushing to the opposite side, Rommel was in high spirits at this time.
"Wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and in an hour, we will cross the river." Rommel said.
an hour later? That was the arrival of our mechanized infantry, not waiting for the other units of the 15th Panzer Army behind? Hearing Rommel's order, the adjutant was stunned for a moment.
The adjutant, Hans-Furreich-von-Funk, said to Rommel: "General, I have to wait for the other troops to arrive together before I can cross the river, right? Our army, now lacking long-range artillery, wait for other troops. Arrive to cover the opposite river bank."
Rommel shook his head: "Our own tank guns can hit the opposite side and let our tanks line up to cover our infantry crossing the river."
