Chapter 357 Crossing the Boundary

De Gaulle was angry.

France has declared war on Germany. Since it has declared war, it should take advantage of the opportunity that Germany's main forces are on the Eastern Front to quickly advance towards Germany, break through Germany's western defense line, and fight until Berlin!

But what about now? Raddadi and Chamberlain, no one wants to fight. Although they declare war on Germany, they are still as unwilling to move as before.

It's simply a treason! In Charles de Gaulle's eyes, these people's behavior is to treason. Over the years, Britain and France have been indulging themselves, gradually making the Germans stronger and stronger. If the Germans conquered Poland, who will be their next target?

Needless to say, it must be the old enemy of France!

There must be a war between France and Germany, so the best thing now is to take advantage of the fierce battles of the Germans on the Eastern Front, advance from the Western Front, and destroy Germany all the way.

Unfortunately, Charles de Gaulle was filled with righteous indignation and had been fighting for three days before finally waiting for the current order to attack the opponent!

This is a little different from history. In history, Charles de Gaulle's army was arranged in the rear, but now, Charles de Gaulle participated in the military parade and was dispatched to the border.

He did not act alone, but Charles de Gaulle's 507th Tank Regiment operated with the 4th Infantry Division.

Tanks are vassals of infantry, and the existence of tanks is to cover the infantry's charge, just like when Britain first invented the tank.

This also made De Gaulle very upset. With the support of Marshal Betan, De Gaulle has published many papers in recent years. His argument, like Germany, should be concentrated all the tanks, form a fist, and advance quickly.

Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

Sitting on his tank, Charles de Gaulle looked around.

Each S-35 tank is surrounded by dozens of French soldiers, absolutely regular textbook-like progress order.

Look at the Germans. Within a few days, the soldiers had approached Warsaw. How did the Germans fight? Collect all the tanks, the armored division charges quickly, continues to advance, enters the depth of the enemy, and divides and surrounds the enemy.

Now, the French army and tanks are still just a moving firepower point.

This made him very upset.

In addition to their troops, there were 11 infantry divisions around them, who lined up in a scattered line and advanced along a 32-kilometer-long area in Saarbrücken.

With such propulsion efficiency, it would be great if you could push five kilometers a day!

De Gaulle looked at the sky, and above his head, the sky was clear. In this case, his bombers did not go out!

During the charge of the tank, the air force needs support from the overhead. The bomber will blow up the opponent's airports, bridges, and arsenals in advance, delay the opponent's reinforcements, and provide firepower support to the own side. These combat styles are all used by Germany.

I am already too behind!

The engine was rumbling, and the 190-horsepower gasoline engine could drive the tank to a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, but now, it could only follow its own infantry slowly.

French infantrymen were carrying their own mas-36 rifles.

Joseph took a step forward and walked in front. As a veteran who had participated in World War I, he set foot on the land of Germany again, which was another mood.

Now, he is the platoon leader of the infantry platoon, and he is holding a rifle that was only issued in 1936. Replace the dropped Bettier series rifles and Leber M1886 rifles.

The biggest feature of mas-36 is that it is short and light, with a total length of only 1021 mm, weighing 3.71 kg, using 7.5x54 mm rifle bullets, and is supplied with 5 built-in ammunition compartments.

In fact, according to the plan, the platoon leader should have used the mas-38 submachine gun, which is a submachine gun with good performance. Unfortunately, because the Maginot line of defense is to be repaired, this submachine gun has not yet been put into production.

He turned his head and looked at Charles de Gaulle on the turret, the thin colonel, who seemed unhappy now.

It also requires skill to follow the tank. The blind spots of the tank are too big. If they are too close to the tank, they can easily be crushed by the tank. Moreover, tanks are a minority after all.

Therefore, the easy-to-go country road was occupied by the infantry, and they started to move directly in the German fields. It was less than March, and there was no farming in the fields. All the way, there were flat fields, with tanks on them, and two ruts were crushed.

In front, you can already see the village, which is a village on a border between the Germans.

He lit a cigarette and Joseph took a few puffs. He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. As a veteran of World War I, he seemed to have a congenital alertness.

"Look, the Frenchman is coming!" Nibe said to Ram, under a big tree at the entrance of the village, "They are about to enter our minefield!"

These days, they have been burying landmines outside, and a large minefield has been laid out outside the village.

In fact, burying landmines is not troublesome. The trouble is to bury the landmines very hidden so that the other party can’t see them. At the same time, mark them well.

The orders from superiors, whoever buried them, whoever posed for platoons. When the war was over, we could not let the German territory be filled with mines, right?

Especially now, when time is enough, the location of each mine buried must be marked in detail and wait for the mine to be cleared in the future.

When you reach the enemy's land, then bury it casually, then circle it directly and mark it as a minefield.

Now, wait and see the show!

Nibe saw clearly that a scope was installed on his Mauser 98 rifle, and through the scope, his vision was narrowed by hundreds of meters.

"Ram, there is a colonel on the tank there!" Nibe couldn't help but continue to say to his companions.

An officer came!

Nipe's hands were itchy. He was a scout in the entire infantry squad, otherwise how could he have asked him to inquire about the enemy situation? At the same time, his shooting skills were also very impressive. Now, when he saw the French invading his own territory and a tank colonel, he really couldn't help it.

The squad leader scared them, but the squad leader was not watching by his side. How did he know whether he had fired a shot? It would be a pity to give up with such a good opportunity.

So he lifted his gun again.

"The Frenchman seemed to have stopped." At this moment, Ram said to Nibe.

The French army, who had advanced slowly along the way, stopped here instead! Did they know that there was a minefield ahead?
