Chapter 499 Wei Gang wants to counterattack
Renault agreed to Churchill's plan, which made Churchill very satisfied. Now, this plan must be carried out immediately, and the amount of it can be withdrawn will be withdrawn!
If it is too late, once the Germans encircle and the port is taken down by the Germans, they will not be able to retreat!
"Also, now, the French navy must make plans early. Italy has declared war on France. In order to prevent the Italian navy from attacking the French navy, I suggest that the French navy can be withdrawn to Britain." Churchill continued.
Churchill's other plan was to incorporate the French Navy. Now, he suggested that the French Navy retreat to Britain, which is naturally the first step to incorporate them.
"Okay, when needed, I can order the navy and retreat to England." Renault agreed to Churchill's suggestion.
When Churchill heard Renault's words, he was extremely happy. He stood up and said to Prime Minister Renault: "Now, Germany is in the limelight. As long as we firmly believe and persevere, we will definitely win the final victory."
At this moment, his brow continued to frown, and the severe piercing pain made beads of sweat appear on his forehead instantly. He couldn't hold on at all. His eyes turned dark and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Prime Minister Churchill?" There was a burst of exclamation around him.
"Come on an ambulance!"
Churchill was quickly taken away and went to the best hospital in Paris. Renault looked at the people present and suddenly felt a sense of sadness, as if Churchill's fall was heralding something.
"Now, I announce a new decision," Renault said. "Our cabinet, to be reorganized, I will serve as Secretary of Defense."
Since the war has been fought, it must be reorganized. Otherwise, how can I explain it to the people?
"At the same time, recall Marshal Betan and come to be the deputy prime minister of our cabinet." Renault continued to announce the appointment.
This year, Marshal Betton is 83 years old. He serves as the Spanish ambassador. At the same time, he is also the prestige during World War I. He has enough prestige to lead the French people to the predicament.
Wei Gang was happy in his heart. He knew that his appointment was coming soon.
"At the same time, the position of commander-in-chief of the French Army in Ganmolin was removed from the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies of the land, sea and air."
Sure enough, when Wei Gang mentioned, Wei Gang was very happy. He said to Renault: "Prime Minister, I have made a plan that can save our current dangerous situation!"
When Churchill was there, Wei Gang could not refute because he did not have the power yet, but now, since he has served as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he will immediately take office. He has a plan in his heart.
Reynolds was stunned, "What plan? I have just agreed to Churchill to withdraw from the northern army and preserve our strength."
Renault has already thought about evacuating the troops and preserving his strength. This is indeed the right plan.
"Yes, I agree with this plan," Wei Gang said. "But if we retreat without planning, it will only turn into a defeat. The German armored forces can easily catch up with our troops and prevent us from retreating smoothly. So, I think that before retreating, we have to fight a beautiful counterattack or two so that the Germans dare not advance, and we have more opportunities to retreat."
Counterattack! Wei Gang has made up his mind now. There are so many British and French coalition forces, but are you still afraid of the Germans coming from the expedition?
Only by fighting a beautiful counterattack can you boost morale!
Now, I was just shocked by the German blitzkrieg. As long as I organize a resolute and brave counterattack, let the troops see that the German armored soldiers are far less powerful, they can greatly boost morale and ultimately win!
Now, facing Prime Minister Renault, he cannot express his real plan. As long as his counterattack wins and subsequent counterattacks, of course, he can continue to advance!
Renault agreed to Wei Gang's plan, so on the same day, on the day Wei Gang took office, a new strategy had already begun.
The commands were passed down one by one.
Wei Gang was also quite smart. He handed over the main task of the counterattack to the British First Armored Division.
At the beginning, in order to shock Germany, the First Armored Division came to France in February and participated in the military parade. After the military parade, the First Armored Division stayed in France.
At the same time, other affiliated troops of the First Armored Division were transported from Britain one after another. After that, they were deployed to the Maginot Line.
They did not catch up with any war. When they came from southern France to the north, the German encirclement was about to be formed. At this time, there were two roads in front of them, attack or retreat?
With the order sent by the French commander-in-chief Wei Gang, the division commander Roger Evans couldn't help but frown.
Wei Gang asked them to attack!
Pass through the Abvere Bridgehead, cut off the retreat route of the four German armored divisions, and join with the main force of the British Expeditionary Force's infantry division in the north. Then, eat the four German armored divisions!
Of course, they were an armored division, but of course they could not complete this task, so behind them, there were also the 10th French Army as a backer, which was already quite a lot in terms of military strength.
As long as they tear open the gap, the 10th Army will be able to keep up and expand the results of the battle. Wei Gang has a big appetite and wants to eat out four German armored divisions in one go!
If this plan is completed, it can be said that it can completely turn the situation around, but now, can it be completed?
General Evans' brows were frowning. Now, his troops were all. Before the war was about to break out, his armored division was finally fully organized, and the planned 3rd Armored Brigade was also given to him, but what's the use?
His troops are mainly composed of the "Matilda" type 1 tank. The 3rd Armored Brigade is the latest and has a more advanced equipment. What's the use?
The Covenant Cruise Tank, weighing only 18 tons, was a tank made in a hurry in the rear to deal with the German armored forces. Where did it hurry? It had already entered mass production without testing at all!
From the appearance, its diamond turret is very distinctive and completely absorbs the characteristics of German inclined armor. At the same weight, it greatly increases the protection force, and the same is true for the vehicle body. The 16mm thick inclined armor achieves a 30mm thick protection capability.
Its developers claimed that this tank could fight against Germany's latest tanks, but Evans did not have that confidence.
Even if there are dozens of tanks, can the situation change the battle? They are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity. What is even more terrifying is that now, the morale of the army is very chaotic.
Chapter completed!
