A German armored division is equipped with hundreds of tanks, while the main SS armored division has more than 200 tanks, far exceeding other countries.

For example, now, Charles de Gaulle's subordinates and the tank troops of the Fifth Army only have 180 tanks in total, which sounds like a large number.

However, among these tanks, there are only about twenty char b1-bis tanks, fifty S-35 tanks, and the rest are the "Renault" ft-17 light tanks.

Among the French army, the most equipped one is the "Renault" ft-17 light tank. This is an old tank. How old is it? As long as you know it has participated in the First World War, you should have an intuitive impression.

Now, the number of equipment of this kind of tank in the French army is as high as 1,650, which is absolutely the main force. Unfortunately, it has completely lagged behind this era.

Needless to mention this kind of old tank, even if it is the char b1-bis tank they think is the best (hereinafter referred to as the B-type tank), it is also a completely outdated tank.

This tank weighs 30 tons. If you only look at the weight, it should be able to compete with the Black Panther tank. However, if you look at its structure, you will know how weak it is.

Just like the British tanks in World War I, the tracks on both sides were spindle-shaped, quite tall, and almost occupied most of the height of the vehicle. However, the travel of the load-bearing wheels was quite short, so the maneuverability of this tank was very poor.

This is also the same as its positioning. Infantry tanks can keep up with the speed of infantry. Its maximum road speed is only 27 kilometers per hour, and it uses a 250-horsepower gasoline engine, which is less than half of the Black Panther tank.

Let’s look at its weapons. There is a 75mm cannon at the front of the car body, which seems to be comparable to that of Germany. Unfortunately, it is only 17 times the caliber, just a short and thick cannon. Its armor-piercing shells is not its strength, and it is almost the same as a grenade.

At the same time, on the turret, it also has a 47mm SA34 tank gun. If it is used for anti-tank, this 47mm tank gun is not enough.

This is completely supportive of infantry.

But now, their combat mission has changed, they are going to search for the German tank troops and then destroy them!

De Gaulle was excited.

With the order from Paris, he finally convinced the commander of the Fifth Army to form a team of all the tanks and move forward quickly!

Paris's orders meant that after they wiped out the Germans, they had to catch up with the battle in Belgium, so they had to move forward quickly and absolutely not delay!

Infantry is always slow, they must be fast and combine the tanks together!

Sitting in his B-type tank, Charles de Gaulle still exposed half of his body. Although he was sniped last time, he did not change at all.

There is nothing to do about this. Although the tank looks big, its vision is very poor. Only when half of its body is exposed can he see clearly!

At this time, Charles de Gaulle's thoughts were similar to those of Gaumurin in Paris.

The German tank troops will definitely not be large, and they must have been sent by gliders, with the purpose of causing riots to our side!

Taking advantage of this battle, the German tanks were intercepted and sent to the rear for research!

Charles de Gaulle admitted that France is indeed behind in weapon development.

The tracks crushed the ground and rolled up mass of mud. Yesterday, it rained in the second half of the night.

This is simply God is helping oneself. After it rains, the roads are muddy and the German tank troops move even slower.

Charles Charles Charles took up the telescope. Although he only had one eye left, he still held his telescope and looked forward as usual.

There are endless fields around, and in front of them are the beauty of a small town.

Sedan, a town in France, is located in the Ardennes province in northeastern France, only 14 kilometers from the Belgian border and is located on the right bank of the Meuse River.

As a border town, it is a national defense fortress, so several famous battles have occurred here in history. Especially the Battle of Pfizer in 1870, the French emperor Napoleon III was defeated and surrendered, resulting in the demise of the Second French Empire.

The wars of the past have gone far away, but now, every time we come to Seok, Charles de Gaulle is in a thrilling mood.

France has become the most powerful country in Europe and has the most powerful army. Although Germany is developing continuously, it is still incomparable to France. This war will end with France's victory!

Suddenly, Charles de Gaulle's face changed: "Be careful, the whole army should pay attention, accelerate forward, and be ready to fight at any time!"

Through the high-magnification telescope, he had seen countless black smoke churning on the other side of the Meuse River opposite. It was the German tanks that were starting!

If it is normal operation, the tank's engine will not emit black smoke. However, when it comes to the battlefield, the tank players hope that the faster the better, so they all use the most direct way, and every time they shift gears, they have the throttle to the end.

In this way, where the armored troops advance, there will be black smoke. Although it will be bitter and dissipate, this faint black smoke is still easy to be discovered.

Although due to the terrain blockage, there is no trace of the other party yet, it is certain that there is definitely something on the other side!

Accelerate the advance! It is obvious that the key now is of course the bridge on the Meuse River. If you seize the bridge first, you can block the German tank troops and lay the foundation for encircling and annihilation of the German tank troops.

We must speed up!

After receiving the order from Charles de Gaulle, the S-35 tank that was originally driving behind, stepped on the accelerator and began to accelerate.

Although the FT-17 tank is a light tank with a weight of only seven tons, it is only a tank from World War I, with a maximum speed of only 10 kilometers per hour.

The B-type tank is a heavy tank with a slow speed, so the S-35 tank will go up very quickly. This 20-ton medium tank can reach 37 kilometers per hour on the road.

This is also a tank that Charles de Gaulle had commanded before, and he was very familiar with this kind of tank.

French tank soldier Bailey sat on his tank turret. The commander of this three-person turret was also a gunner. In order to observe the enemy situation more clearly, he also exposed half of his body and observed it quickly with a telescope.

As the distance got closer, he could already see the opposite side. Under the black smoke, there was indeed a fast-moving tank unit, and he could already see the black cross on the opponent's turret!

German tank troops!

Moreover, now, we can see clearly the number of the other party. How many are there? It is covered with the mountains and the mountains. It is impossible to count clearly for the time being, but it is certain that it is definitely more than hundreds of vehicles!

What arrived was the main armored force of the Germans, and it was not possible to come through the glider!
