"We cannot stay all here. You go to Major General John later, who will lead some of your personnel to break through. Now, the German encirclement has not yet been closed, and there are many gaps. The small army can run away. Montgomery, you are a very talented person. Your military career has just begun. There is no need to accompany me to die here." Lord Hamilton said.

"Where are you, Lord?" Montgomery asked.

"As an army commander, I will live and die with my subordinates." Lord Hamilton said.

"His Excellency Commander, living and dying with his subordinates is the glory of the soldiers, but in this extraordinary period, the British Empire needs your wisdom. You are the senior commander who knows the best of this battle and the combat effectiveness of the German army. In this case, you should leave a useful body back to Dunkirk and join Marshal Heg to save the entire British Expeditionary Force." An British officer advised.

"I stay here to serve the Empire. At least I am here. I can delay with my brothers for a while. As long as we can nail the Germans here, Marshal Hag has time to figure out the whole thing and to adjust the deployment." Then Hamilton made a gesture to everyone calm down: "All the personnel on the list are ready to transfer immediately, and the remaining personnel will let us fight for the future of the Empire together!"

It has to be said that Lord Hamilton's choice at the last moment was still very correct. His army had reached the last moment, and most of the people would be wiped out or captured by the opponent. Rampant evacuation would only make the opponent's harvest easier. Therefore, Lord Hamilton left most of the troops to defend and drag the opponent, and at the same time concentrated most of the vehicles and fuel to carry some key personnel and items to leave at night. It is absolutely not possible during the day. The Germans' planes bombed all non-German targets in the wilderness! These personnel include technical troops, excellent commanders and staff members, and some people who cannot fight, such as doctors. These personnel can continue to play their role after returning to the British position.

However, Hamilton was still somewhat less likely to judge some key things. He was very sensitive to the movements of the French, but he lacked understanding of the power of the Germans. Even though he was beaten and bleeding, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the German army. In his letter to Marshal Heg, he mentioned that his army could hold the Germans for at least 3 days, and then the Germans were able to go north. But what about the actual situation? First, Lord Hamilton could not hold on for that long. Second, in the north, as many as 4 armies prepared by Crown Prince Ruprecht were ready to go, waiting for the French to make way for the way.

Even the people who evacuated tonight were very uncomfortable, because three hours after they left the British position while they were taking advantage of the night, the convoy commanded by Major General John encountered the Gustav Battle assault group commanded by General Schmidt to the north - a small part!

"Mr. Major, there seems to be something on the road!" A German non-commissioned officer pointed to the lights that suddenly appeared on the road in the distance. As an army fighting behind the enemy country, the Germans were still very cautious. Although France has surrendered now, during the march, especially at night, the Germans still made complete arrangements. Ordinary wheeled vehicles and personnel took the road, while semi-tracked vehicles and armored vehicles spread along the fields on both sides of the road, which facilitates reconnaissance and cover. In addition, the convoy guards will inevitably arrange reconnaissance forces and the power of the palace. These troops are also on the fields. After all, it is too conspicuous on the road and I don't know when I will be ambushed. The British people on the opposite side are in a hurry to go on the road. It is not so easy for the British convoy, which is almost all wheeled vehicles, to go to the fields!

"This cannot be our convoy. First of all, the direction is wrong. It is more like the British army withdrawn from the front line. Secondly, they did not deploy the front liaison personnel. Each of our troops would equip a radio transponder on a car and could only send a fixed signal. However, we sent it, and the other party did not respond. So, tell the young men that we had a great fortune today!" The German major quickly identified the other party's identity, and then an ambush began!

The Germans carefully arranged their traps. The simple ambushing on both sides and then pinching the head and tail was the most basic tactic in the German military academy. An elite German major would naturally better improve the entire ambush plan. Therefore, in the last short period before the British army arrived, he efficiently deployed the troops that were not much in his hands, and the ambushing area also chose an L-shaped corner area on the highway!

"Are you far away from the battlefield like this? It feels very relaxed, maybe we can run out more people." At this time, Montgomery, who was crowding with his colleagues in a half-tracked car, looked outside vigilantly, thinking about it all over. However, at this moment, there seemed to be a sudden flash of fire in the distance behind a hill. Then, a series of flares rose into the sky, and then slowly descended under the action of a parachute. The strong light instantly illuminated the entire highway! Almost everyone understood that they were ambushed!

A dense rain of bullets was sprayed out from the woods in the distance, and the special sound of the German 40mm machine gun hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer. These things called the destruction hammer are the most feared existences of all non-heavy armor targets. They are even more deadly than large-caliber artillery, because they fire faster. As long as they have sufficient ammunition, it is not difficult to shoot more than three-digit shells in one minute!

The dense shells instantly smashed two British vehicles in the back to pieces. The flames and wreckage cut off the British retreating road. However, the vehicles in front were still accessible. The sound of machine guns sounded in the battlefield like tearing up oil cloth. The tracer bullets like fireflies were so conspicuous in the dark night. The British counterattacked blindly, and even some infantrymen who assisted in covering missions jumped out of the car and launched fierce attacks with the other side.

"Let's go quickly, while the front has not been blocked yet!" Major General John issued an order. The front seemed to be smooth. The British forward quickly passed through the L-shaped section and was not attacked. Then, a large number of cars tried to speed up through this area, because once they passed through this area, it would be difficult for the enemy troops who were originally ambushing on both sides to directly threaten themselves. The desire to survive was so strong that the British subconsciously ignored some hidden crises.
