Chapter 553 Who said airborne troops can't have tanks 16)
After a rush to march, the 48th Division stationed in Rennes finally arrived. Unlike the current reserve division, the 48th Division is the main force on the front line.
Before the outbreak of the war, France had the most powerful army in Europe, with a total of more than 100 infantry divisions and millions of troops.
The 48th Division was one of them. They had been stationed here and did not go to the front line. They were ready to go to the battlefield, but they were moved.
The division commander Bailey walked in with a steady step and said, "General, please give orders. The 48th Division can complete any task!"
Darlang was very satisfied with the other party's firmness. The reserve division was indeed not good. He still had to be a front-line regular division. If they had just happened, they might have already been beaten.
But now, he hesitated.
The Germans' bombardment was unusual. If his premonition was correct, then the next step might be, the Germans would create a classic battle example of landing across the sea.
Years of experience tell him that as long as he thinks about how bad it will be, then, in fact, how bad it will be!
That's how it is now. He thought of this most terrifying situation, and, in his heart, he gradually had a foreshadowing that his judgment was probably true.
So, what should he do now?
If the Germans wanted to land across the sea, they should immediately send their current infantry division to the dock to prevent the Germans from landing. You must know that during the landing operation, as long as the beachhead position is opened, it will be difficult to be driven down.
As a navy, he knew this truth well.
But now, if the 48th Division was transferred to the dock, who would do the battle here? Although there were still thousands of people left in the reserve division, they were already depressed. I knew that Darlang believed that if he ordered them to attack again, he might continue to resist the orders on the battlefield and not carry out his own orders.
Darlang was constantly thinking and hesitating in his mind.
"General, Paris calls, ask how our side is doing." At this moment, the adjutant said to him with a telegram.
For Paris, the most concerned thing is the gold here, because it concerns France's future.
Thinking of this, Darlang suddenly woke up and counterattacked the Germans' landing. Compared with seizing the landing here, the latter was more important, because even if there were no Germans landing here, his side would not last long.
Now, the most important thing is to get this batch of gold and transfer it safely!
"Tell me the order, the 48th Division, immediately enter the attack on the German airborne troops, and must completely annihilate every German!" He said to Bailey: "Paris has asked me to temporarily take over the command of the 48th Division, and I hope the 48th Division will not disappoint Paris."
After all, Darlang is an admiral and is now commanding the army. Only in this current emergency situation can it be considered an exception.
"Yes." Bailey walked out with excitement on his face and saluted.
When Bailey went out, Dallang continued: "At the same time, tell the Paris side that I judge that the Germans might make a cross-sea landing in Brest."
There is no time. If the German shelling is just to prepare for landing, the Germans may have landed in an hour or two, but at this time, in Brest, there is no defensive power anymore.
He has tried his best.
Kill the Germans in the encirclement and immediately get the gold away!
Although the 48th Division is an infantry division, it is equipped with dozens of tanks. After all, the French Army is conservative and believes that tanks support infantry.
However, they did not get advanced tanks. They only had the Renault ft-17, an old-fashioned light tank that had already appeared in the first battle.
With this tank as the forefront, behind them were large numbers of soldiers carrying rifles. They took a scattered line, crossed their own positions, and advanced towards the opposite side.
During the march, this formation was filled with murderous aura.
"Save me..."
At this time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon and had been tied to a tree for a whole day, and Favre Joli was not dead yet.
He was very lucky. Among the bullets, only one stray bullet scratched him. Now he is still alive.
However, it was almost the same as the dead. The frightened that day had already made him lose his soul and the dripping water had not entered. Now he could not speak at all, his voice was like a mosquito.
However, he still has the instinct to survive. Many hostages next to him have died. He doesn’t want to die, he wants to survive!
Now, looking at the Renault tanks moving up from the opposite side, he once again mustered up the courage to shout to the opposite side, hoping that the French soldiers on the opposite side would rescue him.
This time, there should be hope, because all our tanks are coming!
"Boom!" At this moment, a deafening sound of cannons, with the roar of the tank gun, an armor-piercing bomb flew out from a certain position behind him and flew towards the Renault ft-17 tank opposite.
Just stick to it until night! When I heard this news, the whole army was full of excitement. Every special forces soldier mustered up the courage to complete this mission beautifully!
Moreover, now the opponent's tank is coming up, so the first time we will destroy the opponent's tank! Now, the Black Panther 2 tank no longer hides its strength. It took the initiative to fire and accurately hit a Renault ft-17 tank on the opposite side.
"Boom!" With an explosion, the Renault tank here experienced a violent ammunition explosion. This small light tank weighed less than ten tons and had weak armor, so it could not withstand the bombardment of 50mm tank guns.
This is just the beginning!
The Black Panther 2 tank drove out from its position and started from the grape field covered by green leaves. The high 50mm gun barrel burst out with flames.
tank!
Who said that there was a group of airborne soldiers opposite? When they saw the tanks coming up from the opposite side, the will of the French soldiers here quickly collapsed.
On the entire battlefield, the German Black Panther tanks fought in the east and west, and were invincible. No artillery could penetrate it head-on, which put heavy pressure on any army.
Originally, they thought it was just a group of airborne soldiers, and in the last battle, they only thought it was light artillery carried by the other party. But they didn't expect that they even brought tanks!
"Buzz, buzz." The 500-horsepower diesel engine roared, driving the 20-ton Black Panther 2 tank, which was even more relaxed. The 50-mm gun barrel once again emitted flames.
"boom!"
Chapter completed!
