On the way to Dunkirk, the Germans were preparing to encircle the Anglo-French forces.

?? The large forces of the 7th Panzer Division had already taken the lead on the avenue, leaving only a few pure infantry units in company units.

Frank, as commander of his company, seems to have discovered that his troops are about to engage in a hearty encounter with an enemy several times his size, a few kilometers away in the small Belgian village of Salz.

?? In Salz, Bauer, the commander of a reinforced battalion of the Belgian 13th Division, was being ordered to hold the village with one of his battalions. Although the strategic location of this village was not so important, and he did not want to lead the team over, he could only obey the orders of his superiors.

??“ Hey, boy, how's the village going? Bauer came to the village entrance to make a routine check, and said to the sentry.

"Report sir, everything is normal." The sentry saluted.

Bauer breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "It's okay, who in the Belgian army still wants to fight the German army, which is in full swing." Damn the war, go early, hell, who the fuck wants to be baptized in the flames of war every day. ”

?? Born in an ordinary Belgian family, Bauer's dream since childhood was to become a primary school teacher, but the sudden war shattered his dream and sent him to the battlefield.

From the bottom of his heart, he hated war, and it can even be said that he deliberately avoided it. Therefore, both he and the troops under his influence had a kind of war-weariness, neglected training all day long, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was naturally not high.

Unbeknownst to Bauer, a small well-trained and imposing German force was approaching Salz, and today would be the last day of the Belgian reinforced battalion.

............

??“ Report to the company commander, an anomaly has been found in the village ahead! A German lieutenant put down his binoculars and looked back.

The area has long been depopulated by the war, and the Belgians have set up smoke in the open air and eaten dinner deliciously. It's not an anomaly, what is an anomaly?!

............

"Sir, what should we do if we are discovered by the enemy like this?" A staff officer in the Belgian army asked.

"What kind of enemy, our little village that doesn't is neither a necessary route for German tanks to Dunkirk, nor a strategic location. Rest assured, the German army will definitely not come to such a place. Bauer interrupted the staff officer with a wave of his hand.

"The German armored forces will not come, but what if I am worried that the small German infantry units will infiltrate and intersperse and bypass our rear road?"

"Too much to worry about! We have the strength of this reinforced battalion, and the small infantry units of the German army have come, but they have not returned. Once again, Bauer interrupted the worried staff officer.

.........??

"Smoke rose from the village ahead, and judging by the density of the smoke, this was at least the food needed by a battalion of enemy troops." On the German side, Lieutenant Frank just smiled slightly.

In the face of an enemy who was at least several times his size, he didn't seem to panic at all.

This is the self-confidence of a military man!

From the situation in front of him, he had predicted the outcome of this skirmish.

Maybe it's from the negligence of the commander on the opposite side, the lack of any defense against the enemy around him, or maybe it's the confidence in his own tactical command. After all, he had just received a personal commendation from the division commander not long ago, who praised him for his good command and orderly fighting, but for daring to make some seemingly impossible decisions.

?? Today, in this small village called Salz, the German commander Frank really wants to once again defeat this Belgian reinforced battalion with a small and large force, with the strength of one company of his own.

?? At the village entrance sentry in Salz, the Belgian sentry who found out the time of the inspection of the battalion commander Bauer was asleep, and it was estimated that the battalion commander had just arrived, so it was still early for the next visit, and the sentry thought to himself, why not take this opportunity to make up for the sleep he had lost last night when he slept late with his comrades playing poker.

Unbeknownst to the sleeping Chinese sentinel, a Munich saber gleaming with cold light was wiping towards his throat.

"Boom!" With the sound of a knife slicing through his throat, the sentry fell to the ground.

He even had a smile on his face when he died. Perhaps, he was dreaming of the victory of the war and returning home to see his wife and children.

Several posts were successively cleared by the German spearhead squad, and now the road to the headquarters of the core battalion of the Belgian reinforced battalion was unimpeded.

For the numerically inferior German army, taking the enemy's command was like mastering the enemy's brain, like mastering the enemy's heart, controlling the enemy's every move, and even capturing an entire army without a single soldier, and pocketing an entire battalion of weapons and equipment along with men. This credit is undoubtedly good news for Frank, who has just received the teacher's commendation.

In this way, the promotion of the rank and the reuse of it are just around the corner!

But this is only the best-case scenario, which is based on the fact that the Belgian army is not aware of it.

As soon as they noticed and spotted the Germans, the Germans were immobilized by an enemy three times their size, as if they had jumped into the enemy's encirclement.

Despite the low morale of the Belgian army and the strong war-weariness that pervaded the troops, they were still an army and none of the guns they had were vegetarian.

Although Belgium is a small European country, it is quite influential in the manufacture of arms, especially the development of firearms. As early as 1900, the world's first free bolt-action pistol, the M1900 7.65 mm, was invented and designed by the famous firearms expert American Browning and manufactured at the FN factory in Belgium.

The vast majority of Belgian-made firearms are manufactured by the FN factory, the Belgian company FN Hertal. Like the world-famous Browning pistol. Due to the tradition of precision processing of Belgian enterprises, the level of gun manufacturing technology is rumored to be a good story, and many models of guns have even been selected by the armies of various countries later.

For example, the M1911 is a .45 ACP caliber semi-automatic pistol produced in 1911, designed by American John Browning, and immediately became the standard pistol of the U.S. Army and has been maintained for 74 years, through World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War and Persian Gulf War.

Similarly, Belgium has relied on FN for the research of firearms such as rifles and submachine guns. Especially in this kind of face-to-face village encounter, when the German army is not familiar with the geographical environment and cannot have the advantage in numbers, the German army's company wants to win a reinforced battalion in Belgium can basically be said to be a fantasy.

Of course, the armament of the German army was also good, and the German army, relying on Mauser combat pistols, MP40 submachine guns, G43 semi-automatic rifles and powerful armored units and air forces, often ended a large-scale campaign with unimaginable speed. This has only been done by the German army in modern times.

Returning to this battle, the most important thing for the Germans at the moment was how to penetrate the Belgian command without being discovered by the Belgians and deal the heaviest blow to their command system.

According to the reconnaissance of the German soldiers, the Belgian command system was in the center of the west of the village, while the direction of the German attack was in the south of the village, the north of the village was a cliff, which was almost impossible to pass, and the east was a wood, suitable for hiding. At this time, the German commander Frank came up with an idea, he wanted to select all the soldiers and officers above the squad leader to form a commando team, and the rest of the large forces would feint from the woods in the east to attract most of the troops, and the commando team would go straight to the command post and kill the command system, and the Belgian army should surrender.

Lieutenant Flock, as the commander of an infantry company in an armored division, came up with a brilliant special operations plan.

The battle plan was laid out, and the various units were already in place. With the sound of a Mauser pistol, the battle began on the east side of the village, Belgium
