.The Third Reich under Ten Thousand Characters  Volume 4: The Sorrow of France  

Xu Yang and Rommel were having a happy chat. A major staff officer came over and stood attentively saluted with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, we have a soldier who discovered valuable information, and Colonel Ludun could not make a decision."

It was Randolph, the lucky one. He found that he could not pass through the flat retreat safely, so he chose to find a way back from the forest section and found some interesting information.

Before the war, the intelligence of a soldier was of little significance to the entire battle situation, because all combat deployments were done and it was impossible to make adjustments due to some unreliable intelligence. This is also the reason why Lu Dun could not make a decision.

Xu Yang and a group of people walked into the headquarters to see a haggard soldier. The soldier had a bandage on his abdomen, and there were obviously multiple scratches on his forehead, and he seemed very nervous. Xu Yang checked the soldier's military signs and checked the number of the troops to which the soldier belonged, and confirmed that it was a missing person left on the battlefield by the chariot cavalry battalion: "Randolph?"

Randolph was a little dazed. To be honest, what he longed for after escaping from death was not to be received by senior generals, but to have a good rest. He forced himself to stand attentively, and should:

Xu Yang has a document in his hand, which records Randolph's conversation when he was under investigation, which is also a routine matter. Any missing person has such a procedure to return to the combat sequence. It is precisely because Lu Dun found valuable information from the document and personally interrogated. Xu Yang had no doubt in his eyes, but he admired the ordinary soldier who could cross the French army's formation and found the emptiness behind the French army, and then returned to the combat troops safely on the battlefield. Xu Yang smiled and suddenly felt that Rick was very likely to become good friends with Randolph: "Don't be nervous. You still remember the route.

Randolph's expression relaxed. What he was afraid of was that he did not die at the hands of the enemy. When he returned to the army, he was killed by his own people as treason: "Yes, Master Leader, I remember the road."

Xu Yang nodded, turned to look at Rommel, and then walked towards the military map. The section of the road described by Randolph was on the flank of Montreui, which was also a forest. It was close to the direction of the Acanth. It is an indisputable fact that the French army lacked military strength. There must be loopholes in the defense line built by the French army. Xu Yang thought that he would pay a significant price to win with his frontal attack. It would be better to win by surprise and let a small group of troops cross the gaps in the French defense line and destroy the French supply line and communication facilities.

To expand the chariot cavalry battalion for the auxiliary nature of the front-end attacking troops. Xu Yang established this army not to let them charge, nor to ask them to join the combat sequence as reconnaissance battalion. The role of the chariot cavalry battalion is not to charge, nor to use it for reconnaissance. Now Xu Yang wants to use this army, the problem is that more than half of the chariot cavalry are casualties, and the soldiers are generally depressed. Whether they can participate in the war is still a question. Major Maximilian is here to see me now!"

Randolph had a strong body, and he could understand that the general was going to punish the commander of the troops who failed in the battle.

Xu Yang took out his pocket watch again, and he didn't have much time to waste.

The horn of getting up resounded throughout the barracks, and with the shouts of officers, soldiers followed one by one out of the open-top. After four hours of rest, the fatigue on the soldiers' faces was temporarily relieved. They were accustomed to washing and eating together in shifts.

The darkness before dawn. The soldiers who have finished washing will find a group meal with fire at will under the order of the sergeant squad leader. It is rare for the participating troops to enjoy a hot meal. At this time, the soldiers held the hot noodles soup in their hands and bit the ham happily, and the happiness on their faces was obvious.

Soldiers would talk to each other when they had a meal, but they would not talk about some combat matters. The content of their greetings was no wonder what the hometown was, whether their relatives had written a letter. What was the content of the letter? Some young men would talk to their comrades about the beauty of their hometown, of course, the topic was always so monotonous. They were more bragging. They would boast about how beautiful their girlfriend (wife) was. Soldiers with photos would take out photos and offer treasures in a circle. However, the buzzing sound of the sky came again, and the soldiers who were eating looked up. Of course, they could not see how many planes there were. Some veterans began to show off their rich knowledge and told the recruits what type of fighter this sound came from. Yes, under a buzzing sound, who could clearly say what model it was, but it didn't matter, they knew it was their own plane, which was enough, and no one would go into it.

After the meal, the time for chatting and bragging was gone. The sergeant began to jump out of the military camp and go out of the unknown battlefield under the command of the officer!

The Germanic soldiers marched on their own guns and even in a rough mood, they maintained their pride on their faces. Without a sound of conversation, there was a mixed symphony made by cars and soldiers, and mighty tanks drove past the soldiers, and the proud expression on the soldiers' faces became stronger.

The battle sequence of the tanks was formed, and the commanders received orders to pause collectively. The commanders drilled out of the roof cover and issued a pleasant invitation: "Tank Cavalry, get on the car!"

The infantry would be a little stunned, and then happily climbed onto the tank body. Under Boke's command, the infantry was strictly ordered not to climb onto the tank marching, because the troops should strictly implement their own ethics and divide what can be done and what cannot be done.

"The leader is the commander who truly knows how to be polite to the soldiers!" No one is willing to go into the battle immediately after a long journey. In a deep shame, he clenched his fists and looked ahead. There was a plain, and there was a small village built with forests farther away. Behind his command car, there was no more soldiers except for the 98 jeeps that survived the last battle. Hope."

A simple sentence caused Maximilian's heart to be hit hard. He was not afraid of death. The real Germanic warrior dared to face any battle that would die bravely. He was rigorous and obedient. In order to be proud of his discipline, what he was afraid of was to disappoint those he respected.

"I don't want to hear the news of the failure of the chariot and cavalry battalion. Go, pick the victory with your own hands and wins, and the glory should be exchanged for the enemy's blood by the warriors.

The leader stood on the platform, his body was straight and he was not angry and powerful: "I don't want to hear the news of the failure of the chariot and cavalry battalion. Go, glory should be exchanged for the warriors' blood for the enemy.

In an orderly lineup, the decadence on the soldiers' faces was shattered by something. These simple soldiers could not believe that they could still gain trust again. The Supreme Commander came to cheer him up. This was undoubtedly a noble glory and trust for the once defeated troops. Why did the Supreme Command give up the opportunity to wipe out the remaining Allied troops in Lille? "Rommeel's face was waiting for the best, and the battle sequence was too chaotic, so he should stop and rest."

Xu Yang of course knew what Rommel was talking about. Why did Wuwei give up the favorable situation and not kill the Allies, hurry up and go south to occupy Paris, and achieve the expected combat goals. Xu Yang nodded and took out a top-secret document from the cabinet. This document was collected by the Gestapo Overseas Intelligence Department about the British fleet mobilization, which detailed the warships that Britain transferred from the colonial period, and the tonnage and combat capabilities of the warships were also written in great detail. This is not how powerful the Gestapo is. The British navy is the world's number one, with a high exposure rate. It is impossible to keep it confidential. As long as you are willing to pay, it is not difficult to investigate trends and performance.

Rommel became more and more surprised as he looked at it. As the front commander, he certainly knew that the front-line air force was undergoing a lot of modifications during this period, but what he didn't expect was that the Supreme Command would come up with such a bold combat plan. Judging from his command experience, annihilation of the Allied Expeditionary Forces of Dunkorke was very simple. The difficult thing was how to entice the British Navy. The British were definitely not fools. They also had their own staff and intelligence departments. It was impossible to find any clues. Rommel was an army, but he didn't know anything about the navy. It was not a secret that the English Channel was not suitable for submarine warfare. What he didn't understand was why so many submarine troops were gathered to carry out the so-called intelligence fog plan.

Perhaps in Rommel's view, war is a head-on battle between strengths, and those strategies are extremely fragile in the face of strong strength. It is undoubtedly an unwise combat plan to make the German weak and pitiful navy fight with the British Royal Navy head-on. Moreover, as the current situation seems, Germany cannot threaten the British mainland at all, and the Air Force can only serve as an auxiliary force to assist the army in France to fight. Landing in Britain? Britain is not Norway. Although its local area does not have enough troops, with the presence of the English Channel, how should the German troops ashore obtain supplies?

Xu Yang didn't want to explain too much now, and he was not sure whether it was wise to start the Battle of Britain immediately after destroying France. However, people were worried about the situation without any distance but had immediate concerns. There was no mistake in preparing for it early. Any military operation was taking huge risks, and no one could guarantee success. After all, they were just soldiers. Warriors of the Third German Empire.

"Okay, Erwin, let's start to deal with France first!"

The battle ahead has begun! It’s not timely updates. There are endless meetings and social events, and I drink every day.
