Chapter 746 Entering Exeter

Germans, coming soon? After hearing the stationmaster's words, Bernard was stunned for a long time. What are you kidding? Where are the Germans? Is it airborne?

The station master didn't know either. He just received an order from his superior and asked him to convey the order. Although Bernard didn't believe it, after confirming that the order was true, he immediately issued a battle order to his troops.

"Quick, get out of the car immediately, everyone, organize the team, we are about to enter the battle!" Bernard shouted loudly.

When he took the team and ran forward, just out of the city, he saw the supreme commander of the local garrison, Captain Willie Mills, the commander of D Company.

"We are building a defensive line outside the city, hoping to block the German army and hold on to the arrival of the backup." Mills said to Bernard: "Brigade commander, now I will also hand over the command of our company to you."

Although he is the commander here, he is only a company commander. According to the regulations of military rank, after a higher commander comes to the local area, he must obey the command of the other party.

"Where did the Germans come from?" Bernard asked.

"Our port of Plymouth was taken by the German army." Mills knew better: "Now the German vanguard, their Waffen SS Panzer Division, is moving towards us."

German armored units! What they were about to face was the German armored division. Thinking of those terrifying black panthers, Mills knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders.

It is conceivable that this will be an extremely cruel battle, and many people present will pay the price with their lives, but they have no choice.

Plymouth! Hearing this, Bernard was also stunned. His troops were originally ordered to station in Plymouth. If they were still there, the landing of the Germans would never be so easy!

Thinking of this, he was full of anger.

"Okay, now, I order all the troops to return to the city." Bernard gave his order.

Hearing this order, Milston was stunned: "We are going back to the city? Brigade Commander, our mission is to protect the city!"

"Yes, if we want to protect the city, we have to go back." Bernard said: "If we are outside, our troops of several thousand are not enough for a German charge, their tanks, will be mercilessly crushed over us."

"We are not afraid of death!" Mills said loudly, since he was able to come out to fight, he had already made up his mind to die.

"However, what can we get for our sacrifices? Here, our sacrifices are in vain." Bernard said: "We have to go back to the city and use the Germans' self-confidence and rash psychology to fight in the city. In street fighting, we have anti-tank grenades, we can also make molotov cocktails, and in the city, we can continue to fight, destroying a large number of German tanks, and at the same time persist until reinforcements arrive.”

At Bernard's words, Mills nodded, and he saluted Bernard: "Brigade Commander, you are right, now, please lead us to continue fighting!"

His question just now, just thought that Bernard wanted to be a deserter. When Bernard said his thoughts, the question disappeared. In the city, the German tanks can be better eliminated!

Black Panther 3 tanks, invincible across the entire European continent!

Now, the diesel engine at the rear is rumbling loudly. Inside a Panther 3 tank, Lieutenant Livatt, the company commander, through the observation hole in the front, observes a flat land that suddenly appears after the turn of the road, the city at the foot of the mountain. .

Exeter!

According to the order, they need to capture the city quickly, and after they snatch it down, they will occupy the main traffic road.

Now, they are rushing to the front, the city is close at hand.

However, Levit always had an ominous feeling that the front was too calm, abnormally calm!

"Where are our infantry?" Levitt said to the radio operator. "Contact our infantry, where are they?"

"Company commander, just behind us, one kilometer away, because the mountain road turns, we can't see them. On this kind of road, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are still not as fast as our tanks." The radio operator said.

In the early days of the war, the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, as a low-cost infantry carrier, played a great role. The mobility of the armored division was not only based on a few tanks, but also how a large number of infantrymen looked. follow up.

For wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, a large number of components are common to trucks, which makes them quick and inexpensive to manufacture. However, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are not suitable for many complex terrains.

It is said that in the rear, a new heavy tracked infantry fighting vehicle based on the Black Panther 2 chassis is being developed. As long as it is successful, the Waffen SS will definitely be changed first, but it will take some time to talk about it.

What's the matter, the current British war can't catch up.

It’s only one kilometer, and the infantry will soon catch up. Looking at the city that is so close in front of him, Levit can’t refuse the yearning in his heart.

"Keep going, into the city, along the main road, to the city hall," Levitt said.

According to the information, there are no heavy troops stationed here, and the guards of several hundred people dare to come to trouble themselves?

As tank soldiers, advancing is their creed, no matter what is ahead, they must advance!

The crawler, rolling into the solid urban inner concrete pavement, they're in town!

On both sides, you can see the British shops. This is an important trade transit station with many shops. At this time, the streets are empty. It is obvious that when the tanks with the cross on the turret came in, they brought them to the British locals. The shock of people is still huge.

One after another, the tanks lined up in a long snake formation, heading forward, and after turning right at the intersection, they entered the main road, and they would soon reach the city hall!

Out of vigilance, Levitt didn't open the hatch to reveal his body, and his turret kept turning side to side, their usual way of keeping an eye out.

On the main road here, pedestrians began to appear. When these pedestrians saw the tank, many people were surprised, and some ran away quickly.

However, there were also some people who didn't leave. They just looked at the tank and the emotions in their eyes were very complicated.

"Do you want to fire?" asked the radio operator, who, as a radio soldier, also operates a machine gun in the front of the hull.

"No, they are all civilians," Levit said.
