As the main vault storage place, this vineyard is related to the national fortune of France!

It can be said that with this batch of gold, France will not fail. Even if it is occupied by Germany now, it can make a comeback in the future. However, if the gold here falls into the control of the Germans, France will never turn over again. In the future, it will have to be enslaved by Germany.

Here, it matters!

Therefore, after learning the news of the accident here, Darlan dispatched troops and even came to the periphery of the manor in person.

Anti aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have been erected. It can be said that if the Germans want to continue to deliver supplies here, it is impossible. Even if the German Stuka bombers are fierce, their own side can beat the other side down!

At the same time, if they want to drop supplies, they must have transport planes flying at low altitude. Now, transport planes can't fly up again.

Surrounded by soldiers hurriedly mobilized by the Navy, there was also a reserve division from the nearby army station.

Yes, it's an reorganizer!

At the same time, in the distance, two infantry divisions were moving towards this side in a hurry.

Tens of thousands of French soldiers surrounded the manor three floors inside and three floors outside. Now, as long as they launch an attack, they seem to be able to enter at once.

Now, the Germans in the North need at least two or three days to catch up, and they can completely cripple each other in half a day!

I don't know why. The news that our side stores gold here has leaked, which has attracted the coveted of the Germans. Unfortunately, it's useless. No matter how brave the Germans are, they can't transport these gold away!

The Germans were blinded by their own interests. A small airborne force dared to occupy here!

Obviously, Darlan at this time did not know how ferocious the German airborne troops in the siege were.

He looked at his watch. Now it was 9:55 a.m. and he couldn't wait any longer. Although the two infantry divisions hadn't arrived yet, they were going to attack.

"Order, in five minutes, attack and take back our manor." Sitting in a chair, just below the grapevine, Darlan gave orders.

Ten o'clock, war on time!

The sailor in sailor's uniform, carrying lebel m1886 rifle, slowly moved towards the manor.

Behind them, the soldiers of the reserve Infantry Division also carry this ancient rifle. Because they are the Reserve Division, they have less support firepower. An infantry platoon can't carry a Shaosha m1915 light machine gun.

The machine gunner, holding the machine gun, leaned back slightly and walked at the end of the queue.

Originally, the machine gun should provide support fire at the back, but now the shooting range is very narrow, because there are grapevines everywhere, so the machine gunner can only move forward with it.

Shaosha m1915 light machine gun is also called CSRG machine gun. It was the highest production light machine gun in World War I. But at the same time, its unreliability in performance has also been criticized.

The biggest feature of this gun is the 20 rounds and a half moon magazine below. A total of 262000 standard light machine guns were produced as allies of World War I.

Up to now, this light machine gun has long lagged behind, but it still exists in a large number in the French army. It can be said that after World War I, France did not update its troops' weapons. With limited funds, it went to repair the Maginot line.

They are moving forward slowly. The grapevine blocks their sight, so that they can't see far. The contact between the two sides will come at any time.

Suddenly, a Navy soldier walking in the front stopped. He looked at the front in surprise. He couldn't believe his eyes.

German, what a shame!

In the past few hours, the Germans have set up a defense line near the manor. Because time is very tight and their manpower is limited, they just made a simple transformation with the help of grape ditch.

However, they set up a human wall in front of their defense line.

Yes, it's a human wall!

The original personnel here, all alive, were tied to the vines in front of the line of defense, while the Germans, in the fortifications behind the vines, stood guns and waited for the French to come up.

If the French want to come up, they will shoot without hesitation, but the French can't shoot because they will hit the human wall first!

Favre jolly, the chief cashier of the Bank of France, was covered with blood. When he was just tied here, he had a hunch that he didn't agree with him. As a result, he was shot in the butt of his face and lost six teeth.

When he was just tied here, he struggled for more than an hour. I don't know how the Germans tied it. In short, the more he struggled, the tighter he was.

Now, the rope of the thin telephone line had been pulled into his flesh. Every time he moved, he felt great pain. When there was a movement from the opposite side, he finally opened his eyes.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, we're French, I'm the cashier of the Bank of France. Help... "

He told himself that he was most worried that the other party would shoot. He was the general cashier of the Bank of France and one of the core personnel of the fish plan. His life was very valuable, but he could not die here in a muddle.

His cry woke up the dead French after they were tied up.

At this time, French soldiers absolutely dare not shoot. They can't kill their own people.

They have scruples, and the Germans behind the human shield have no psychological burden.

Falksam, an old subordinate of skorzner, was sitting in a grape ditch and put a grape into his mouth. Then he pulled the bolt of an MG34 light machine gun beside him.

"Fire!" At the same time when he gave the order, the light machine gun in his hand roared like a chainsaw, the bullet chain rattled, and 7.92mm bullets flew over like a ladle.

In an instant, the front French sailor, with several more holes in his body, leaned back, and behind him, more people screamed and were shot.

The bullet passed through the grapevine and was still lethal. In the grapevine field here, the French soldiers were shot one after another as if they were in front of the Verdun meat grinder.

The Germans almost didn't bolt their rifles. They used continuous firing weapons!

In addition to machine guns, automatic rifles, they don't have to worry about bullets. When they land on a giant glider, they bring enough bullets for them to last for a week!

Favre jolly gave out bursts of sad cries. There was a loud gunshot behind him. Bullets whizzed past, and even one flew past his ears. There was a sharp pain in his eardrum. At this moment, he thought he was about to die.
