Amid the huge explosion, the entire division headquarters was blown away, and under the air waves, everyone was blown aside.

"Teacher, Commander!" A sentry far away was not affected by the explosion. When he rushed over, the commander was already lying on the ground with blood.

He shouted loudly, but unfortunately it was useless. He saw a shrapnel and blood gushing out of the teacher's abdomen. In less than two minutes, the teacher would die due to excessive bleeding.

"Teacher!" he shouted loudly, but it was useless. The temperature of the division commander was gradually getting cold. He raised his head and saw the bomber in the sky, and was still throwing the bomb unscrupulously.

General Evans, the commander of the British First Armored Division, was killed by a group of German bombers. He became the commander with the highest rank of British and French forces.

This is just the beginning.

With his death, the First Armored Division ushered in a terrible moment of destruction.

The command center was taken out, and the subordinate troops were already in a panic.

Breakthrough is an art. During the German war against the Soviet Union, more than 100,000 people, or even hundreds of thousands, were often surrounded at one time. During the breakout, some troops were wiped out, and even the commander of the army was killed in battle.

Some troops escaped intact and even carried out a large pot for cooking.

But at least, breaking through is definitely not a rushing around in a rush. It is necessary to have command. Where is pretending to break through, where is the real breakthrough, there is the main and the secondary, and the troops are allocated reasonably. At least the artillery firepower still has, which can pour their firepower on the Germans and open a gap.

Unfortunately, there was nothing, they were completely in a mess.

All the troops threw away their own weapons and ammunition and wanted to rush out of the encirclement. When they rushed to the periphery of the encirclement, the German machine guns and cannons fired violently, and pieces of British soldiers fell into pools of blood.

Just like the British army during World War I, they rushed towards the heavy machine guns on the opposite side without fear, and died in more than 100,000 people a day.

The British are now running towards death.

In front of the German defense line, the British fell in line.

Of course, not everyone chose to break through and die, and some chose to be heroic.

For example, the tank company directly under the division headquarters.

Company Commander Hess survived the bombing. He looked at the corpses all over the ground, very angry. At the same time, he also knew that there was only one way to save his side, using their tanks to help the troops break through!

"Come on, come with me!" Hess shouted loudly, sitting on his turret and shouting to the soldiers around him.

With his tank as the lead, he tore a hole open and broke through with the infantry behind him!

He did not choose the river behind him, there were no bridges there, and he was also a death sentence in the past. At this time, breaking northward is a shortcut.

This is also something the Germans did not expect. In the north, the deployed defense line is the weakest.

There was only one car-mounted infantry regiment, but the defense line on the positions was very long, and they had no tanks to maneuver to fill the gap.

You know, the north is now all Germany's territory. Breaking through the north is simply a stupid act, and breaking through the south is normal.

It is precisely because of this that the defense in the north is very weak, which is exactly what Hess thinks. He doesn't know how many troops there are in the north that surround him, but it must be less than in other directions!

As long as he breaks out, he can escape through the gap. You know, the Germans are now breaking forward and want to be the first to seal the big hole in the encirclement. Therefore, behind the Germans, there are many empty places, and there are passages everywhere to penetrate.

Hess summoned only more than 200 soldiers and rushed towards the north with his more than 20 tanks as the guide.

The armored divisions were not all armored units, and they needed a certain proportion of infantry. In later generations, in the late World War II, the German armored divisions even had dozens of tanks, almost all infantry.

With the large number of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, although the Black Panther 3 tanks have not been fully popularized, there is no shortage of supporting wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. The infantry of the Armored Division is all mechanics and infantry riding wheeled combat vehicles.

The current Sixth Armored Division is under the jurisdiction of the 6th Infantry Brigade and the 4th Vehicle-mounted Infantry Regiment under the Sixth Infantry Brigade, which is in a scattered line and is distributed over a width of several kilometers.

Commander Marco quickly swept through the rolling smoke and dust in the distance with his telescope. He frowned and shouted loudly: "Please prepare our lg40 and let the British know how powerful we are!"

At this moment, he was really anxious.

During the entire battle, the German army was on the offensive side, and the enemy tanks were just handed over to their own tanks to kill them, so they did not have a large number of anti-tank guns.

At the same time, infantry is mainly lightweight, and they are equipped with more recoilless cannons.

Although they have wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, this thing only helps them improve their mobility and weak armor. They are just scum in front of the opponent's tanks. They cannot expect to rely on infantry fighting vehicles to deal with the opponent.

Therefore, we can only rely on a 75mm recoil-free cannon.

Now, it is getting dark. Once it gets dark, their infantry will definitely not be able to stop the enemy's breakthrough, and they will easily break through their own defense.

We must never let the British break through their own positions! We will knock the other party down before it gets dark!

As an armored company of the division, Hess's subordinates operated the "Matilda" type 2 tank.

It sounds like an upgraded version of the "Matilda" Type 1 tank, but in fact the two are completely different.

This tank has a total combat weight of 9 tons, which is "larger than Type 1".

On the turret, it is equipped with a 2-pound cannon, which is much more fierce than the 1 type of machine gun. At the same time, the armor thickness of each part is also enhanced. The armor thickness in the main part is 75 to 78 mm, and the secondary part is 25 to 55 mm.

At the same time, the most distinctive thing is that this tank uses two engines.

The original idea was to rely on another engine to drive at low speed and maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

Unfortunately, this was simply what the designer thought of in the office. The two engines increased the volume of the power unit and occupied precious space in the car. There was also a problem of synchronization and coordination when the two machines worked, which was completely useless.

Now, listening to the roar of the two engines at the rear, Hess looked at the German positions in the distance with a telescope.

I bet right, the defense here is the weakest!

If he waits until dark and breaks through, there is a 100% chance. Now, he can't waste time. The German armored troops are moving too fast. Maybe there are tanks gathering here now, and he must be fast!
