After the rapid march, the 48th division stationed in Ryan finally came. Unlike the current reserve division, the 48th division is the main force in the front line.

Before the war broke out, France had the most powerful army in Europe, with more than 100 infantry divisions and millions of troops.

The 48th division is one of them. They have been stationed here all the time. They have not gone to the front line. They are gearing up for the battlefield. As a result, they have been transferred.

Bailey, the division commander, came in with a steady step and said, "general, please give an order. The 48th division can complete any task!"

Darlan was very satisfied with the firmness of the other side. The Reserve Division was really not good. It had to be a front-line standing division. If they had just been there, they might have been beaten.

But now he hesitated.

The German naval gun bombardment is very unusual. If his hunch is not wrong, maybe the Germans will create a classic example of cross sea landing in the next step.

Years of experience told him that anything, as long as you think how bad it will be, then, in fact, how bad it will be!

Now that was the case, he thought of the most terrible situation, and in his heart, he had gradually realized that his judgment was likely to be true.

So now, what should he do?

If the Germans want to land across the sea, he should immediately send the current infantry division to the wharf to stop the Germans from landing. You know, in landing operations, as long as beachhead positions are opened up, it will be difficult to be driven down.

As a marine, he knows this very well.

But now, if the 48th division is transferred to the dock, who will do the battle here? Although there are still thousands of people left in the Reserve Division, they have all withered. I know Darlan believes that if he orders them to attack again, I'm afraid they will continue to resist the orders on the battlefield and will not carry out their orders.

Darlan's mind was constantly thinking and hesitating.

"General, call from Paris and ask how we're doing here." Just then, the adjutant took the telegram and said to him.

For Paris, the most concerned thing is the gold here, because it is related to the future of France.

Thinking of this, Darlan suddenly woke up and fought back against the German landing. Compared with seizing here, the latter is more important, because even if there are no Germans landing here, his side will not last long.

Now, the most important thing is to get this batch of gold and transfer it safely!

"Pass my order, the 48th division, immediately put into the attack on the German airborne troops, and must completely annihilate every German!" He said to Bailey, "Paris has asked me to take over the command of the 48th division temporarily. I hope the 48th Division will not disappoint Paris."

After all, Darlan is a admiral and now commands the army. Only in this emergency can he make an exception.

"Yes." Bailey walked out, saluting with excitement on his face.

When Bailey went out, Darlan continued, "at the same time, tell Paris that I judge that the Germans may make a cross sea landing in Brest."

There is no time. If the German shelling is to prepare for the landing, the Germans may land in an hour or two. However, at this time, there is no defensive force in Brest.

He has done his best.

Kill the Germans in the siege and transport the gold away immediately!

Although the 48th division is an infantry division, it is equipped with dozens of tanks. After all, the French army is conservative and also believes that tanks support infantry.

However, they did not get advanced tanks. They had only Renault ft-17, an old light tank that had appeared in World War I.

Led by such tanks, behind them were a large number of soldiers with rifles. They crossed their own positions and pushed opposite in a scattered line.

They were on the March, and the formation was murderous.

"Help me..."

At this time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He had been tied to the tree all day, and Favre jolly was not dead.

He was very fateful. In the midst of bullets flying, only a stray bullet grazed him. Now he is still alive.

However, it was almost like the dead. The shock of the day had scared him out of his wits, but the water didn't enter. Now he couldn't speak at all, and his voice was like a mosquito.

However, he still has the instinct to survive. Many hostages next to him have died. He doesn't want to die. He wants to live!

Now, looking at the Renault tank moving up opposite, he summoned up his courage again and shouted to the opposite side, hoping that the French soldiers opposite would save him.

This time, there should be hope, because our tanks have come up!

"Boom!" Just then, a deafening gunfire, with the roar of tank guns, an armor piercing bullet flew out from a position behind him and flew to the Renault ft-17 tank opposite.

Just stick to it until night! After hearing the news, the whole army was excited. Every soldier of the special forces summoned up his courage and must finish the task beautifully!

Moreover, now that the other party's tanks come up, your own side will kill the other party's tanks at the first time! Now, Panther 2 tank no longer hid its strength. When it was 500 meters away, it took the initiative to fire and hit a Renault ft-17 tank opposite it accurately.

"Boom!" With an explosion, there was a violent explosion of ammunition in the Renault tank here. This small light tank, with a total weight of less than 10 tons and weak armor, could not withstand the bombardment of 50 mm tank guns at all.

This is just the beginning!

Panther 2 tank, from its position, drove out and started out from the grape field covered by green leaves. The high 50mm gun barrel burst into flames.

Tank!

Who said, there are a group of airborne soldiers opposite? When I saw the tanks coming up opposite, the will of the French soldiers here was rapidly disintegrating.

On the whole battlefield, the German Panther tanks were invincible, and no artillery could directly penetrate it, which brought heavy pressure to any army.

Originally, they only thought it was a group of airborne soldiers, and in the last battle, they only thought it was the light artillery carried by the other party. Unexpectedly, they even brought tanks!

"Buzz, buzz." The 500 HP diesel engine roared and drove the 20 ton Panther 2 tank. It was very easy. The 50 mm gun barrel burst into flames again.

"Boom!"

Who says airborne can't have tanks? Now, let's see how the airborne soldiers kill the infantry division!
