De Gaulle was angry.

France has declared war on Germany. Now that it has declared war, it should take advantage of the opportunity that the main force of Germany is in the east line to quickly march towards Germany, break through Germany's Western defense line and fight all the way to Berlin!

But now? Ladadi and Chamberlain, no one wants to fight. Although they have declared war on Germany, they are still as reluctant to move as before.

It's traitorous! In de Gaulle's eyes, these people's actions are traitorous. Over the years, Britain and France have been conniving at and slowly made the Germans stronger and stronger. If the Germans conquered Poland, who is the next target?

Needless to say, it must be the old enemy France!

There must be a war between France and Germany. Therefore, the best thing now is to advance from the western line and destroy Germany all the way while the Germans are fighting fiercely on the eastern line.

Unfortunately, de Gaulle was filled with righteous indignation. He had been fighting for three days before finally waiting for the current order to attack the opposite side!

This is somewhat different from history. In history, de Gaulle's army was arranged in the rear, but now de Gaulle participated in the military parade and was stationed on the border.

He did not operate alone. De Gaulle's 507 tank regiment operated with the 4th Infantry Division.

Tanks are the appendages of infantry. Tanks exist to cover the charge of infantry, just like when Britain invented tanks in World War I.

This also made de Gaulle very unhappy. With the support of Marshal bedang, de Gaulle has published many papers in recent years. His argument is that, like Germany, all tanks should be concentrated to form a fist for rapid propulsion.

Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

Sitting on his tank, de Gaulle looked around.

Every S-35 tank is surrounded by dozens of French soldiers, in an absolutely regular textbook order.

Look at Germany. Within a few days, the military peak has approached Warsaw. How did the Germans fight? Gather all the tanks together, and the armored division will charge quickly, push forward continuously, enter the depth of the enemy, divide and surround the enemy.

Now, the French army and tanks are still a mobile fire point.

It upset him.

In addition to their troops, there were 11 infantry divisions around them. They formed a scattered line and advanced along the 32 kilometer area around salbruken.

With such propulsion efficiency, it's good to push five kilometers a day!

Charles de Gaulle looked up at the sky. Overhead, the sky was clear. In this case, his own bombers did not go out!

In the process of tank charging, it needs the support of the air force overhead. Bombers blow up each other's airports, bridges and arsenals in advance, delay each other's reinforcements and provide firepower support for their own side. These combat styles are being used by Germany.

Our side is too backward!

The engine is rumbling. The 190 HP gasoline engine can drive the tank to a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, but now, it can only slowly follow its own infantry.

French infantry, carrying their own mas-36 rifles.

Joseph stepped forward. As a veteran who had participated in World War I, he set foot on the land of Germany again, which was another kind of mood.

Now, he is the platoon leader of this infantry platoon. What he is holding in his hand is a rifle issued only in 1936. Replace the fallen bettier series rifles and lebel m1886 rifles.

The biggest feature of mas-36 is that it is short and light. Its total length is only 1021 mm, weighs 3.71 kg and uses 7.5 kg × 54mm rifle ammunition, supplied by 5 rounds of built-in magazine.

In fact, according to the plan, the platoon leader should have used the MAS-38 submachine gun. This is a submachine gun with good performance. Unfortunately, this submachine gun has not been put into production since it is necessary to repair the magino defense line.

He turned his head and glanced at de Gaulle on the turret. The thin colonel looked unhappy now.

It also requires skills to travel with tanks. The blind area of tanks is too large. If they are too close to tanks, they are easy to be crushed by tanks. Moreover, tanks are a minority after all.

Therefore, the easy country roads were occupied by the infantry. They started directly in the German fields. Now less than March, the fields have not been cultivated. All the way, there are flat fields, with tanks on them and two ruts.

In front, you can already see the village, which is a village on the German border.

Joseph lit a cigarette and took two breaths. He always felt something wrong, but he couldn't say it. As a World War I veteran, he seemed to have a congenital vigilance.

"Look, the French are coming!" On the other side, under a big tree at the entrance of the village, niber said to ram, "they will enter our minefield soon!"

These days, they have been laying mines outside, and a large minefield has been densely arranged outside the village.

In fact, it's not troublesome to bury mines. The trouble is to bury mines so that the other party can't see them. At the same time, they should also be marked.

The orders from the higher authorities, who buried them, who will row them. When the war is over, we can't let Germany's territory be full of mines, can we?

Especially now, with plenty of time, the location of each mine must be marked in detail, waiting for demining in the future.

Wait until the enemy's land, then bury it casually, and then circle it directly and mark it as a minefield.

Now, wait for a good play!

Niber could see clearly that his Mauser 98 rifle was equipped with a sight. Through the sight, the field of vision was narrowed by hundreds of meters.

"Ram, there's a colonel on the tank!" Niber could not help but continue to say to his companions.

It's an officer!

Nieber's hands itched. He was a scout in the whole infantry squad. Otherwise, how could he be asked to inquire about the enemy? At the same time, his shooting skills were also hit by a hundred shots. Now, he really couldn't help seeing the French invading his own territory and a tank colonel.

The monitor intimidated them, but the monitor was not watching. How did he know if he had shot? It's a pity to give up such a good opportunity.

So he lifted his gun up again.

"French, it seems to have stopped." Just then ram said to niber.

The French army, slowly advancing all the way, stopped here! Did they know that there was a minefield ahead?

Niber turned the muzzle of his gun. In the sight, he saw an infantry platoon leader facing the Colonel on the tank. He didn't know what he was talking about.
