Chapter 450: Ardennes Forest

Until now, the French army, which had followed the old ways, still did not form a separate armored division! This made de Gaulle very dissatisfied, and now, can't he see the great advantage of concentrating the use of armored forces?

Despite his dissatisfaction, de Gaulle was still firmly carrying out the task of his superiors, and now, his task was to march to Belgium and stop the Germans!

De Gaulle followed a large number of troops and marched towards Belgian territory, and in their hearts, although a little impatient, the pride of victory was always there. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although the German tanks were more advanced, they were definitely able to hold off the Germans! This war will end with the victory of Britain and France!

The tank tracks, crushing the ground, advanced rapidly, but, no sooner had advanced to Ray Dell, de Gaulle received a frustrated message.

The fuel supply did not follow, and he needed to wait for the fuel car in the rear!

Sitting on his tank, de Gaulle was extremely depressed, and to his right was the Ardennes region of Belgium.

At this time, no one knew that in the Ardennes area, another tank unit was moving through the forest.

The French defense line is not long, the central region, almost defenseless, in the eyes of all military experts, the Ardennes region, is a natural barrier, the main German armored forces, will not choose this kind of area.

Dense woods everywhere, such a place is simply a natural enemy for the passage of armored troops!

Now, it's daytime, the infrared headlights have been turned off, but inside the woods, it's always gray, and from the turret, when you look up, you can't see the sky above you at all.

At the forefront was still Dietrich's Panzer Division, and Nespel's Panther 3 tank was at the front.

For Nespel's tank, the turret was backwards, and the barrel was drooped to the rear, which prevented damage.

Because the barrel is relatively long and has extended out of the hull, if it is in front, if it touches something, it must be the barrel that touches it first, and once the precise barrel hits, it will be completely scrapped, even if it is bent by a millimeter, the shell will fly.

The tanker Trig was also driving cautiously at this time, and in order to cross this forest, there was already a vanguard force playing for them.

In the world, there was no road, but when there were more people walking, it became a road.

And now, there is no road in the forest, so make a way out of it!

The sawdust on the stump in front of it was clearly visible, it was a towering tree that had just been sawn off.

In front of them, hundreds of scouts, on motorcycles, were clearing their way.

"Stop!" Nespel suddenly shouted.

The road in front of us is wide enough, but there is a tree on the side, which is easy to hang on to when your tank turns, this is a pine tree that is only a few years old, not very thick, only thicker than the thigh.

"Right front, the tree, clear." Nespel said.

"Roger." Trig shouted loudly, "Hold on! ”

Hang on the low gear, bang the throttle hard, the Panther 3 tank, let out bursts of roars, towards the tree, straight crashed over!

Everyone held the handrails beside them, and Nespel still showed his body and didn't care at all.

"Boom!" The hull at the front of the tank was in close contact with the tree, and in the clattering sound, the roots of the tree cracked, and the top of the tree turned and fell forward.

The 40-ton Panther 3 tank can easily knock down such a small tree, and it hardly feels too much.

If you hit a big tree that several people are hugging together, then the Panther 3 tank will not be able to do anything.

In this kind of forest, such trees can be seen everywhere, and the scouts in front of them are trying to open up a path.

On a three-wheeled BMW, the scout looked at the big tree in front of him, held a chainsaw, and walked over.

"Buzz, buzz." As he pulled the starting rope, the chainsaw was activated again, and he waved the chainsaw towards the base of the trunk.

Suddenly, puffs of black smoke came out of the chainsaw, and the saw blade had already made intimate contact with the roots of the tree, and in the midst of the sawdust, he first cut out a large triangle.

Sawing trees is particular, if in the process of sawing, the tree falls in the other direction, it will bring greater problems to the passage of your own troops, and now, which side of the sawing triangle first, the tree will fall.

After sawing this half, he sawed the other half, and as he saw, he listened to the sound of the tree.

"Whoa." The leaves make a regular shaking sound, which means that the tree is about to fall!

Then, the chainsaw loosened, and the saw edge on this side had been loosened, and he quickly stood up and looked at the treetops.

An experienced lumberjack will not run around when a tree falls, but will look at the treetops, after all, the treetops are the fastest, and by looking at the treetops, you can tell where the big tree is falling.

Now, he didn't need to move at all, watching the towering tree collapse in front of him.

The big tree seems to be telling something.

In war, life is like mustard, not to mention the current big tree, which can be sacrificed at any time.

They were cautious when they crossed the border, but once they entered the Ardennes Forest, they did as they pleased, which was almost entirely no-man's-land, undefended by troops, inhabited by civilians, and at most had only a small number of workers guarding the forest.

When you meet such people, just give them a shuttle bullet.

Watching the tree fall, the Scout turned off the chainsaw in satisfaction, got back on his motorcycle, and continued on his way.

In some areas, you can let the tanks pass, so you don't need them to open the way, and if you can't pass, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and trees block sawing trees!

A few minutes later, the tank behind rumbled up, and the dead branches and leaves in the woods squeaked under the pressure of the tracks, and by the time the tank came up again, the bottom had already been crushed.

This forest is the slowest area for marching, and at the same time the most unexpected.

Until it was dark, Nesper's eyes lit up, and the forest gradually thinned out, and it took him one night to enter Belgium, and another day to cross the forest!

"Report to the division commander immediately, we have already crossed the forest!" Nespel shouted to his radio hand.

The striker has crossed out of the forest! The news was reported to Dietrich's command car, then to Guderian's, and finally, to Berlin via a high-powered radio station.

At this time, the atmosphere in Berlin was still tense.

The war has begun, and it is a decisive war, which will affect Germany's national fortunes for the next 100 years.

Many people do not want war to break out, for example, Brauchitsch has not closed his eyes since the beginning of the operation, and now his eyes are red, and his legs are sore, and he is pacing almost all the time, showing his inner restlessness.
