In the north of Xupu City, behind the positions of the 9th Infantry Brigade of the British Third Infantry Division, there was a busy scene. The Third Infantry Battalion and the brigade's engineering company were busy building new fortifications. The direction of the fortifications was not to the south of Xupu City, but to the back of the entire brigade, north and northeast.

Since he found out that the position of the 8th Infantry Brigade on his left wing was collapsed, Colonel Isaac Glen, the brigade commander of the 9th Infantry Brigade, ordered his subordinates to start preparing to welcome the Germans' attacks on both sides.

As for the escape, Colonel Glenn had never even thought about it. He clearly saw that there were at least fifty German tanks breaking through the Eighth Infantry Brigade, and his troops were stationed on an empty grass. Once the infantry of the Ninth Brigade left the trenches and retreated westward, if they encountered those German tanks in the open field, what awaited them would be a one-sided massacre.

Colonel Glen stood alone in the busy crowd, quietly watching the six Matilda Type 2 tanks gradually fading away until his adjutant Captain Johnson told him that the division commander had a call to him that he retracted his reluctance.

Back at the brigade, Glenn picked up the microphone on the table and said, "I am Isaac Glenn, what's the matter?"

Montgomery's anxious voice came from the microphone: "The position of the Eighth Brigade has been broken through by the Germans, your back has been exposed, and the Germans may attack you from behind you at any time."

After hearing Montgomery's reminder, Glenn became even more angry and said, "Since you know that the Germans will attack me from behind, why do you still transfer my only six Matilda Type 2 tanks?"

"I got it. When will the reinforcements arrive?" Glenn asked into the microphone.

"I am seeking the help of the 21st French Infantry Division, and they have promised to send reinforcements to help us. You will immediately build a position facing the north to guard against the attacks of the Germans. We must persevere until the reinforcements arrive." Montgomery replied.

"I've sent someone to do it. You make the French as fast as possible. If the Germans really hit me on both sides, I can't hold on for long. I need those six Matildas. With them I can hold on for longer, you'd better let them come back." Glenn said.

Montgomery did not answer Glen's request. All that was found on the phone was silent.

Just when Glen thought the phone was disconnected, Montgomery's voice suddenly rang, "I have ordered the six Matildas to return to your station. You must stick to it as much as possible."

Glenn was overjoyed and shouted to the phone: "With those tanks, I will definitely be able to hold on until the arrival of the French."

Glenn put down the phone and ran out of the brigade department, urging his subordinates to build fortifications. While looking at the place where the Matilda tank disappeared. In less than five minutes, Colonel Glenn saw six Matilda tanks moving back towards his position with heavy steps. At this moment, Colonel Glen felt that Matilda's bulky figure was unprecedentedly friendly.

Seeing the six Matilda Type 2 tanks getting closer to their positions, the smile on Colonel Glenn's face gradually disappeared, and a layer of dark clouds climbed onto his blue-white face.

Looking towards the sky northeast, Glen clearly saw a group of black dots appearing in the sky, and the faint engine noise in the sky became louder and louder.

"Contact the division headquarters immediately and tell them we need the support of fighter jets." Glenn turned around and ran back to the brigade headquarters and shouted to the correspondent of the brigade headquarters.

The correspondent quickly called the Third Infantry Division to explain the situation, and the reply was that the fighter plane would arrive soon. Let them wait patiently.

"They actually asked us to wait patiently? What are you waiting for the German aviation bombs to fry us into meat sauce?" Colonel Glenn shouted angrily after learning the division headquarters' reply.

Despite complaining, Colonel Glenn ordered the only four remaining four forty-mm anti-aircraft guns of the 9th Infantry Brigade to prepare for battle, although it is likely to be just a meaningless resistance.

However, Colonel Glenn found himself completely self-indulgent. The fierce German planes didn't even look at his position and flew straight west.

"Thank God, they were not for me." Colonel Glenn said, covering his chest, then rushed out of the brigade and asked his subordinates to step up fortifications to prepare for the siege that the Germans could launch at any time.

Colonel Glenn breathed a sigh of relief, but Montgomery was shocked in his division headquarters.

He looked at the green smoke rising in Rong Xieli Village more than 500 meters south of the highland where the division headquarters is located, and immediately thought of the battle of Xupu City the day before yesterday.

When the Battle of Symphony City reached a stalemate, this dazzling green smoke first rose to the south of Symphony City, followed by the bombing of the Luftwaffe and the arrival of German armored forces.

Now this green smoke rises in Rongsheri Village, and its meaning is self-evident. Thinking of this, Montgomery immediately shouted to the adjutant beside him: "Contact the Sixth Army headquarters immediately, we need air force support."

As soon as Montgomery finished speaking, a staff officer rushed into his command and shouted: "The German planes are at least forty."

As soon as the staff officer finished speaking, Montgomery heard the screams he had heard outside the city of Sep. He knew that the bomber that would make a terrifying scream during dive bombing had already launched an attack.

I hope they will focus on Rongsheri Village, and hope that the coalition forces will arrive early, Montgomery prayed silently.

On a slope about two kilometers east of Rongsheli Village, the Knight-1, which Chen Dao was riding and a Type 4 D-type tank Rommel was riding climbed up from the east of the slope and met Captain Bach and others at the top of the slope.

"The bombing has begun, and our actions must have been beyond their expectations. I think the expression on Montgomery's face must be very exciting at this time." Chen Dao and Rommel jumped out of the car one after another, stood side by side on the slope and looked at Rong Xieli Village, which was trapped in a sea of ​​fire in front of him.

"Who is Montgomery?" Rommel asked Chen Dao with a raised corner of his eyes.

"Montgomery is the commander of the Third Infantry Division, I think it is necessary for you to remember this name." Chen Dao said.

Rommel nodded disapprovingly and asked, "Is this what you interrogated from the prisoners?"

Chen Dao's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light and said, "Yes. The prisoners cooperated very well and explained everything they knew."

After occupying the brigade headquarters of the 8th Infantry Brigade, the tank troops led by Major Schumacher captured a group of officers from the 8th Infantry Brigade.

After Chen Dao arrived with the Second Paratroopers Battalion, several school-level officers captured by himself invited to a secluded place, and the two sides had a "peaceful" conversation. Chen Dao quickly made the school-level officers understand the principle of "confession and lenientness, resistance and strictness". Inspired by Chen Dao, who was full of righteousness (bandit) aura, the British officials immediately gave Chen Dao the news that the Third Infantry Division was located near Rong Xieli Village.

After learning about the location of his old enemy Montgomery, Chen Dao immediately met with Rommel, who was hiding in the distance, pretending to be deaf and dumb. The two of them immediately led the Tank Battalion and the Paratrooper Battalion to kill Rongsheli Village.

"Montgomery must have thought we would encircle his troops outside the city of Syp. But he didn't know that his division was more attractive to us." Rommel said with a smile.

"Have your reconnaissance platoon found the way? Where are we going, south or north?" Chen Dao asked.

"North," said Rommel.

Five minutes later, the tanks were in front and the 251 armored vehicles of the Second Paratrooper Battalion were behind. Chen Dao and Rommel set out again, preparing to go to the north of Rong Xieli Village to the west of Rong Xieli Village, and cut off the retreat route from the Third Infantry Division to the west.

Chen Dao lay on the front of the gangster No. 1's car, letting the warm spring breeze hit the face. When he thought of erasing the only name on the blacklist before dark, Chen Dao felt unprecedented comfort. Before, because the coalition front line was connected into a space without detour, his troops could only choose to force a breakthrough head-on. Now he finally has enough space to encircle the detour. If he could not surround Montgomery's division headquarters, he would be sorry for his subordinates who died outside the town of Vos, Norway.

When Chen Dao was thinking about which of the top ten tortures he should have treated him if he had captured Montgomery alive, Rommel's battle order suddenly came from the radio.

The No. 2 tank of the reconnaissance platoon discovered a British artillery position northwest of Rongsheri Village. After receiving the report from the reconnaissance platoon, Rommel immediately decided to take it away.

When Chen Dao learned that the target was the artillery position of the Third Infantry Division, the blood of bandits was immediately boiling. The artillery in this artillery position was probably the culprit of the artillery field investigation team in the town of Vos, Norway. It must not be let go.

With Chen Dao's order, the Second Paratrooper Battalion immediately followed the tank and rushed towards the British artillery position with murderous intent...

On the high ground north of Rongshari Village, Captain Prince, the adjutant of Montgomery, looked up carefully at the sky and found that there were only two fighter jets in the sky that were fighting in a ball, and the "crows" that made terrifying screams had already flew away.

Prince stood up and looked up for a while, and finally saw a group of black dots flying farther and farther northeastward.

These annoying guys finally left. Captain Prince cursed for a few words before looking back at the semi-underground bunker where the division headquarters was located, and his face turned pale in an instant.

At this time, most of the underground bunker had collapsed, and less than one-third remained intact.

After the battle a few days ago, the air artillery regiment was left with only fourteen me-109 fighters and thirty-one Stuka bombers. Chen Dao was afraid that Montgomery would not die happily, so he ordered them to come out today.

After more than a dozen Stuka bombers threw the bombs they carried, the village of Rongsheri, which had only more than forty houses, turned into ruins. In order not to waste the bombs, the remaining dozen Stukas moved their targets to the defending positions near Rongsheri Village. Montgomery's division headquarters was also affected by the fish. Two 500 kilogram bombs and four 50 kilogram bombs exploded near his bunker. The bunker did not withstand the test of shock waves and collapsed and buried Montgomery and most members of the division headquarters alive. Captain Prince was lucky enough to escape the fate of being buried alive when he was not in the bunker.

"The division commander is still inside, save people quickly." Captain Prince screamed and rushed to the collapsed bunker first, digging up with both hands, trying to rescue Montgomery who was buried alive.

Other surviving British troops rushed into the site of burying alive to rescue people. A few minutes later, engineers directly under the division headquarters also joined the ranks of rescue people.

Captain Prince dug out two people in a row, but he was not his beloved division commander. Seeing that the time was delaying longer and the chance of the division commander was getting smaller and smaller. When Captain Prince's eyes were already oozing tears, a scream came from behind him: "The division commander is here."

Captain Prince turned and rushed to the place where the sound came, and just saw two soldiers joining forces to pull Montgomery on the shoulder to drag him out of the mound.

Prince immediately went up to help, and the three of them helped Montgomery, who was dying onto a stretcher, laying out of the burial site.

An old gray-haired military doctor touched Montgomery's neck artery, pressed Montgomery with a stethoscope to explore for a while, and said, "The commander is still alive, but his vital signs are very weak. I cannot treat him here. We must send him to a large hospital later."
