"Come on, come on, speed up!" The night was dark. In this dark night, there was a motorcade moving forward quickly.

It is very important for Britain to save the British Expeditionary Force and rescue them back to Britain. The British navy is almost half disabled. If the British Army suffers serious losses again, the end of Britain can almost be seen.

Now, what is accelerating is the leading force led by Montgomery, the third infantry division of the British Expeditionary Army.

At the same time, they were also the troops that suffered the least losses. When Wei Gang came to power and asked to turn to the counter offensive, Montgomery violated the Yin and Yang, and did not move a bit of mind to counter attack. He had been procrastinating all the time.

In this way, the strength of the third Infantry Division has been preserved. For example, the vehicles of the whole division are still in hand, and their logistical supplies are quite sufficient.

Now, the whole division is moving forward in the dark by 600 military vehicles.

Now, the sky is German. It is obviously not a good idea to act during the day. Moreover, they should not only hide their whereabouts from the Germans, but also from the French.

Can only be fast forward at night!

However, they didn't have any night vision equipment, so Montgomery came up with a simple and effective way.

Apply a layer of reflective paint on the reducer of the rear axle of all military vehicles and illuminate it with a small lamp hidden under the rear fender. In this way, you can't see anything from the sky and around. Only the driver of the rear vehicle can see the faint light of the front vehicle.

The whole team turned off the headlights, strictly controlled the lights and retreated quietly in the dark.

The water network is everywhere and the roads are muddy. At that time, the German armored forces encountered great problems with the rapid advance. Therefore, they prepared weeds in advance and paved a layer on the road. Moreover, their goal is not Dunkirk. Therefore, the road is not the same as that of the Germans.

Although it is a country road, they can still pass through it. In particular, in order to prevent accidents, Montgomery also set up traffic pickets at intersections and easily lost corners to direct the convoy.

It was a long night. They needed to drive hundreds of kilometers this night.

At dawn, they need to reach Calais, where they organize a strong defense line to ensure the safety of Calais, and persist until the main force of the follow-up expedition arrives and calmly withdraw from the European continent.

This night, for them, is very important!

At the same time, in their north, the French Legion is also in motion.

The road is muddy. Because many vehicles have been abandoned, French soldiers can only step on the muddy road and move forward bit by bit. Dunkirk is their only way to live.

The French 9th group army and the 27th infantry division walked slowly ahead. They had no fighting spirit for a long time. Now the only thing supporting them is that the British met them in Dunkirk.

Otherwise, they don't have to go at all. They just have to wait and wait for the French to capture them. In fact, many armies do so.

Step by step, the boots are getting heavier and heavier, so that many people can't walk anymore.

"Buzz, buzz." Just then, behind them, a tank started. They looked at the people on the tank with an envious expression on their faces.

The infantry division is also equipped with tanks in a certain proportion. For example, this small Renault tank is the most common equipment in the French army.

The tank soon overtook them and moved on, getting closer and closer to Dunkirk.

"Boom!" At this time, suddenly, a huge fire came from the front, illuminating the dark night sky. The Renault tank moving to the front has been destroyed!

German, German!

In an instant, they could not help but panic. It was obvious that their tanks were destroyed by the Germans, and they had exchanged fire with the Germans!

"Can't go back, rush, rush!" In the back, an order came: "as long as we can cross the German line, a ship will pick us up!"

The French commander has predicted that there will be a fierce war here. After all, Dunkirk has been occupied by the Germans. They must cross the German line before they can rush to the beach!

They have no choice. They have to rush!

After hearing the command of the rear commander, the French soldiers took up their weapons and continued to move towards the opposite side. After all, it's night. The night will cover the attackers. If the other side wants to defend such a large area of land, there must be gaps everywhere, as long as they can drill through!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss." The sound of a chainsaw came. It was the shooting of a terrible MG34 light machine gun! In the absence of flares, the accuracy of the other party is quite high!

Several French soldiers screamed and fell back, while the soldiers behind immediately fell to the ground and dared not move forward any more.

They were frightened to find that the German opposite seemed to be able to see himself in the dark. It was really terrible!

Of course they don't know, Germans, they already have night vision!

Today's night vision instrument is still a very primitive infrared headlamp, matched with the receiving device, and can only be used by one person, that is, the conductor. This device has begun to equip German tank troops.

At the same time, with the successful development of transistors, large-scale transistor factories are being established. Before long, German electronic technology will usher in a leap, reducing power consumption and volume. Night vision devices for individual soldiers can also be developed accordingly.

It will take at least some time, and now German tanks are the best way to deal with French troops invading at night.

A few tanks were arranged in front of the line of defense. When the French were slowly coming towards them from the night vision, a unilateral massacre began!

The MG34 machine gun on the tank fired wildly at the French army. Then, under the command of the commander, the driver slowly moved the tank forward. Even without using the tank gun, just the machine gun, he could form an absolute advantage over the French army.

In this kind of attack, the French soldiers, who had no fighting spirit for a long time, collapsed and began to retreat backward.

At this time, there are still more than ten kilometers away from Dunkirk, and the German defense line has expanded to such a far place!

The battle of Dunkirk has begun, but Calais is still quiet.

The car of the third infantry division is moving forward quickly. Sitting in the middle car, Montgomery's eyebrows have always been frowned. Now, although they are moving smoothly, the battle will start at any time!
