Rommel knew what the staff officer meant... At this time, the German army stationed in France was like an egg, and as for the northern part of France, it was like this, that is, the outside was hard and the inside was empty.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the German army almost used all living forces on the coastline, especially in Calais and Normandy... Calais was because of Hitler's orders, and Normandy was because of the landing of the Allies.

In fact, a large part of this phenomenon of "empty internal forces" in the direction of Normandy was caused by Rommel... Since the Allies landed, Rommel has been madly dispatching troops to Normandy and increasing troops. Almost all the German mechanized troops stationed in Paris have been transferred.

Among them is especially the 12th Armored Division... If the 12th Armored Division stationed in Rouen, then one can provide conditions for the German army to retreat, and the other can become a barrier to Paris.

But now...

Rommel has never been so depressed. Even in Africa, he was on the verge of despair because of no supplies. At this time, he only felt that he was completely fooled by that Chinese. He was playing with it like a monkey. The Chinese named Zhang Chi seemed to be able to see through everything about him!

"Do you think it's still time?" Rommel replied with a wry smile.

"We can return to the aid with light load!" said the staff officer: "Let the 12th Armored Division organize a rapid force composed of armored vehicles and cars, and the enemy also has no heavy equipment..."

"Col. Bowen!" Rommel interrupted the old subordinate: "The key point is not that. Do you think the Chinese would easily let the 12th Armored Division return to the rescue?"

"The marshal means..." A trace of panic was added to the eyes of the staff.

Rommel nodded and said, "Yes, the roads and railways between Caen and Rouen are now probably controlled by the Chinese!"

Rommel was unfortunately convinced again. This time the Chinese army was not just interspersed. During the interspers, they continued to divide small groups to rush to the Kalu Highway... Of course, they were not going to trouble the 12th "Hitler Youth League" armored division. They just waited for the 12th armored division to pass the road, and then buried explosives and mines on the road or road bridge.

It is difficult to build something, but it is easy to destroy something.

The same is true for roads and railways, so after the German army marched from Rouen to Caen, they actually couldn't go back. To be precise... if they wanted to go back, they could only go back all the way from Caen, and they might be ambushed by the enemy.

"Marson!" the counselor asked Rommel: "So...what should we do now?"

Rommel thought for a while and said, "Order the 12th Armored Division and let them continue to move forward!"

"Continue to move forward?" The staff officer couldn't help but look at Rommel in surprise.

"Yes!" Rommel nodded firmly, looked at the watch, and said, "We... may have thirty hours left!"

Hearing this, the staff officer knew what Rommel was going to do. He wanted to take a gamble, hoping to defeat the Allies in Normandy with his only troops and supplies.

But……

This is almost a day-to-day talk. The troops occupying the Omaha beach did not have sufficient supplies, and the other German troops also did not have sufficient supplies because of the destruction of Caen's supplies. How could they defeat the Allies in this situation?!
