Chapter 502 Fire Head Army
"General, is it an order to retreat?" Just after he read the telegram, Brigade Commander Herbart of the 1st Armored Brigade walked up to him and said, "I heard that the Prime Minister has made a plan, and we will safely withdraw to Great Britain. ."
Even the brigade commander of his own had this idea, which made Evans even more annoyed: "Herbart, don't talk nonsense about this kind of shaking the army's heart! Now, we have not failed, our task is to attack!"
The telegram was thrown to Herbart, who picked it up, glanced at it, and said, "This is just a plan that came up with his ass."
He made no secret of his disgust. As a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders. However, as a commander, he must be responsible for his troops, especially now that this war is about to be lost. What they need most is Retreat to England instead of continuing a fight that has no chance of winning!
Only when you are on the front line can you know how powerful the combat effectiveness of German tanks is.
"Execute the order." Evans tried hard to convince himself that it was quite difficult for him to issue this order. He made a great determination before deciding to implement the order.
Because he is a soldier.
Follow the orders of the French commander-in-chief to fight back against the Germans!
The order was given, and although the lower-level soldiers didn't understand it, they still followed suit, because they were elite soldiers.
…
Forward, forward!
For the German army, there is only one thing ahead of them now, and that is to advance!
First arrive at Dunkirk, complete the encirclement, surround the French and the British, and then eat them little by little!
In order to achieve this goal, they are all advancing rapidly. Among the more than 100 divisions in Germany, the armored division has left the infantry division behind, and in the armored division, the combat troops on the front line, and other logistics at the back, etc. The squad was abandoned.
It was a peculiar battle, and it was common to see French soldiers along the way, unable to outrun the German tanks. The French soldiers raised their hands, dropped their weapons, and looked nervously at the vicious German tanks around them.
However, no one cares about them!
It's very simple. Now the German tank troops don't care about them at all. After crossing the Maas River, the German tank troops are crazy all the way.
These French people can't escape in the end. As long as there are no German tanks running fast, they will eventually be captured. Now, they don't care.
Moreover, the infantry that followed would capture these Frenchmen.
"Quick, quick, speed up!" An old Czech-made Skoda truck galloped down the roads, which were battered and full of potholes due to German tanks, and this truck had only the rear wheels Driving, running is quite difficult.
With the bumps, the inside of the truck's body rattled.
"Our fighters have fallen 20 kilometers behind us. We must arrive on time and cook for our fighters!" On the truck, a chubby flamboyant soldier said to his fighters.
Yes, they are cooking soldiers, and they belong to the cooking class of the 3rd Company of the 65th Armored Battalion of the 6th Armored Division.
The Sixth Armored Division has been established for two years. However, it is plagued by insufficient equipment. Many of their armored division's equipment is obtained from the Czech Republic. For example, in terms of logistics, all-wheel drive Ford off-road trucks, Without their share, they only have this kind of truck from Skoda.
No matter how inferior the equipment is, their will to fight is quite high. For example, now, their armored division is rushing in the second echelon, just behind Rommel's seventh armored division, which is the most capable!
The entire division went crazy, and the division commander was even more suffocated. Why was the seventh armored division formed later, and all equipment was given priority to the seventh armored division. I was really angry.
The 6th Armored Division is also considered a meritorious unit. In the Czech Republic and Poland, the 6th Armored Division rushed in front.
The first division commander was Erich Hoppner, who has now been promoted to commander of the 16th Panzer Corps.
The current division commander Franz Wiener Kempf worked hard to establish immortality in this battle, and then asked Erich to give his armored division to get equipment!
The two have reached a tacit understanding and watch the war.
He didn't know, he did this, but it had the opposite effect, because of the outstanding performance of the 6th Armored Division in this war, as a result, half of the experienced tankers were divided into the newly formed 16th Tank Division. went.
At least now, they are leading the way. In 9 days, they have advanced 450 kilometers. For this reason, they have lost all the logisticians behind.
Sergeant Hosk of the Firehead Army, holding a large spoon in his hand and a kitchen knife on his waist. These are all his equipment. He has been following him and has served in the army for more than ten years. He does not allow others to touch it. These things he has always carried with him.
On his face, the flesh is drooping down, there is no way, as long as it is the Fire Head Army, it is basically like this.
As the car jolted, the flesh on his face continued to tremble.
"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, there was a violent sound. With this sound, all kinds of cauldrons on the car were bumping, and the engine below made a roar, black smoke kept coming out, and the car swayed. Twice it, but it didn't move.
"Ged, you idiot, how did you drive?" Hosk took the spoon and knocked directly on the head of the driver in the cab in front.
"This crater, there is floating soil on it, I didn't see it." Gade shouted, he knew his squad leader, knocking on the head sounded loud, but it didn't hurt that much.
He was also remorseful.
Looking at the floating soil above, why did it sink in all of a sudden? Unlucky!
During the war, everything was simple. For example, this truck had no doors and was empty at the back, just like the simple sheds of diesel tricycles in later generations, with a roof.
There was originally a place for two people, except for the driver on the left, and the position on the right was reserved for the squad leader, but now, in order to hurry, the squad leader put all the fragile eggs in his own position. After all, there are bumps. To be lighter, Hosk volunteered to get bumped in the back.
But he didn't expect that the car was stuck!
"Quick, come down, hit and push together!" Hosk raised the spoon in his hand and shouted loudly.
The car can't get out on its own power. The easiest way is to go down and push it all at once.
There were eight people in the cooking class, and they all jumped down quickly. When they saw it, they were instantly dumbfounded.
The whole wheel fell off. This happened to be a crater, and the axle housing in the center of the rear axle behind it was stuck. This is not a matter of pushing at all, it is necessary to lift the car up!
These few people are not enough.
"Get some French!" Hosk shouted.
