Meleval river.
There is only one bridge on the river. Villages along the river bank within tens of kilometers nearby have to cross the river through this bridge.
Riding their own horses, the soldiers of the 5th light cavalry division quickly moved towards the bridge. Their forward could see the bridge head. There was a platoon of British troops guarding it.
The British looked disheartened. Seeing the arrival of the cavalry, they welcomed it from the bottom of their heart. They stood up and were ready to welcome the French cavalry reinforcements.
"Boom, boom!" Just then, in the distance, there was a deafening sound of artillery.
With the sound of guns, that is, the unique Doppler roar of grenades cutting through the air, in the eyes of the British, those flying grenades hit the bridge accurately!
"Boom!" The bridge suddenly burst out a black smoke and collapsed in the middle.
Bridge, broken!
The British soldiers looked at the firing place in surprise and saw the majestic Panther 3 tank a few kilometers away!
Panther 3 tank is so powerful! Their 88mm tank gun hit the bridge accurately at this distance.
The British soldiers on the other side of the bridge thought nothing but surprise, and the British soldiers on the other side of the bridge were all flustered.
The Germans, the Germans are coming up. What should we do?
On their side, about the size of an infantry squad, the most powerful weapon in their hands is 303 machine guns, which is ineffective for tanks!
At this time, facing the German tanks rushing up, they had no choice but to surrender!
The French cavalry reined in their horses. They looked at the blown up bridge and the other side of the river. They were very depressed.
If they had been earlier, they would have been able to cross the bridge.
But what if you cross a bridge? They are cavalry. They can't stop German tanks at all! Polish experience on the battlefield has proved that cavalry is ineffective against tanks.
In many people's hearts, fear began to appear. Fortunately, without the past, they had no intention of war.
Now, it is almost axiomatic that cavalry can't deal with tanks. They won't know how Soviet cavalry charge tanks on the Soviet battlefield a few years later. Soviet soldiers are willing to die with their bodies and blood and blow up tanks with simple anti tank grenades.
The army needs blood. Unfortunately, this blood has long disappeared in Britain and France in this era.
They just stared at the other side. When the British soldiers on the other side surrendered, there was an inexplicable sadness in their hearts. Then, they saw the tanks on the other side, turning the turret and aiming at them.
"Come on, run!" Cried a sharp eyed cavalry, turning his horse's head and running back.
"Boom!" German tanks have opened fire!
The grenade exploded in the middle of their crowd, instantly lifted several cavalry away, the war horses were whining, and there was blood and death everywhere!
They should have retreated at once, but now, even if they retreat in time, they will suffer some casualties.
Tank guns can only hit about one kilometer when firing armor piercing bullets, but five kilometers is a common distance when firing grenades.
The Panther tank gun kept raising its elevation and welcomed the French cavalry away with its own artillery fire. They cried and howled, and their chickens flew and dogs jumped.
In this way, the river was occupied by the German army, and the encirclement of the first armored division, the main force of Britain, has also been formed.
If you want to summarize, there is only one word, come on!
The attack speed of the German army was far beyond the imagination of the other party. Even if Evans knew that the Germans were moving very fast, he would never have thought of so fast. Four hours after his striker was defeated, his main force was surrounded by the Germans and cut off his way of origin.
This speed is really terrible.
Frowning, Evans almost immediately made up his mind after hearing the news: "attention, whole division, prepare to break through and withdraw!"
His withdrawal is not only to return to the defense line, to the camp of the British and French coalition forces, but also to Britain.
There's no way to fight this war! It is his mission to keep his army intact and bring it back to Great Britain!
Evans made up his mind quickly, but the Germans acted faster!
Just after Evans gave the order, another news was reported that his forward, the first armored brigade, was fighting with the Germans!
The first armored brigade first came to France and participated in the Paris parade. At this time, they ushered in their own doomsday.
Opposite them is the 65th armored battalion of Germany.
Mayer's tank company waited until its main force, the armored battalion, moved towards the British army.
Another set of tactics for tank operations: use the advantage of rapid mobility to divide and surround the opponent, constantly divide and eat it mouth by mouth!
What we are going to eat now is the first armored brigade of the British in front!
Brigadier Herbert, the advocate of tank omnipotence, and like goodrian and others, he knew that tanks would seriously change the process of war. But, unfortunately, he is in England.
Britain is an old-fashioned country, and the army is quite conservative. His arguments are simply unpopular.
If the German armored forces had not galloped in recent years and constantly refreshed the vision of others, Britain could not even have the establishment of the first armored division.
Now, although they have a special armored division, it is difficult to catch up with them in terms of weapons.
The main force of the first armored brigade is "Matilda" type 1 tanks. This infantry tank with a weight of only 11 tons has long fallen behind, and its weapons are only 12.7 mm machine guns, which makes him have no confidence in the main armored forces against Germany.
The Allied tanks of the third armored brigade are not opponents of each other. How can their own troops have an advantage in front of German tanks?
Not only can't fight, but also can't run away!
The power unit of their tank is Ford's 8-cylinder gasoline engine, with a maximum power of only 70 horsepower and a maximum speed of only 12.8 km / h. This is the definition of a complete infantry tank. Just keep up with the infantry. The weapons are only machine guns.
The only thing to be proud of is that its armor thickness is large. The armor thickness on the front of the car body is up to 60mm, and the steel armor around the turret is 65mm thick. This is also the argument of infantry tanks. The armor must be thick, which is an active fortress.
Now, what?
