Chapter 918 Equipment

The unexpected battle was not in the Ardennes or the Netherlands, but in the "Magino" defense line.

The 1st and 3rd Army set out from Paris to build roads and bridges and approached the "Magino Line of Defense", and then bombed and attacked the "Magino Line of Defense" without saying a word.

The bombing scale and intensity are quite large. Hundreds of bombers and fighters flew over the defense line every day. Then, the B17 bombers also came from Britain to drop bombs at the "Magino Line of Defense".

(Note: At this time, because ammunition supplies still need to be transported from the UK in large quantities, although the Allies have built large airports in France, it is obvious that bombs are still cost-effective to take off from the UK, because there is no need to transport bombs to France and then from France to the front line.)

"They are playing the tricks they used to do again!" Rommel said: "The British always want to deceive us, making us think that the Allies are attacking other directions!"

Longdestedt didn't speak, his expression was a little awkward, because the last time he was deceived by the British and believed it without a doubt.

Perhaps because he found that his words were not suitable, Rommel asked Ronderstedt and said: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, I don't think we should expose ME163 too early, what do you think?"

"Yes!" Longdestait said, "Agree completely!"

Now it is just a feint from the US military, so of course it is not suitable to use a large-scale killing weapon.

Rommel turned his attention to Lieutenant General Rumanlin... These were responsible for Lieutenant General Rumanlin.

This is not to say how wise the General of the Ruman Forest was, but that some technical things on the "Magino Line" must be trained for a while before they are familiar with them. The German soldiers who had just withdrawn the "Magino" were of course not suitable for operation, and the ME163 silo is one of them.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin, who had been in an excited state, replied with a little disappointment on his face, because he had long wanted to see how ME163 shot down the enemy plane.

However, the fact is that Lieutenant General Rumanlin did not see it when he was really engaged in actual combat. The reason was that he did not dare to go out of underground business or even observe in the ground bunker.

Obviously, the real war was a little different from what he imagined.

Of course, the Allied bombing did not have any effect... You should know that this is the "Magino" defense line. The thickness of the reinforced concrete on the top of some fortifications is 3.5 meters. The design is to defend against German aircraft and giant cannon bombing. At this time, the Allies were just bombing it.

Therefore, fireworks were blown out outside, lightning and thunder, and the German soldiers hiding inside remained motionless.

Needless to say, the several feint attacks launched by the two US armies were fired back by the German defenders' machine guns and artillery in a few strokes.

The feint attack force is the US military, so Montgomery certainly does not feel sorry for it, so he still urges the US military to continue feint attacking again and again.

This behavior made General Patton curse: "This hateful British man, as long as he is not blind, he will see that this guy is selfish!"

General Patton said that, but he was helpless... He was just the commander of the army and had to obey the orders of his superiors, otherwise he might not even have to fight, just like he had been deceiving tasks in the "Range Plan" before giving speeches, wandering, and swaggering.

Qin Chuan and others don't need to worry about these, because the 1st Armored Division has been transferred to the Netherlands.

The soldiers of the 21st Armored Division in the Netherlands received an unexpected surprise... 20 "Tiger" tanks and 60 brand new "Leopard" tanks, plus 80 "No. 4" tanks, a large number of cars, side three wheels, etc.

These equipment made the soldiers overjoyed, especially the soldiers of the Armored Division, who were so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths.

"This is what General Rommel has fought for us!" General Streck said: "But General Rommel said it was not his credit!"

"It's not his credit?" Colonel Slain was a little puzzled.

"Yes!" General Streck said: "Equipment like this, especially the Tiger style, has so many 'Leopard style'. Generally, only the SS heavy armored division can be worthy of it. The National Welfare... must wait at least!"

After pausing, General Streck continued: "We can get them because we are the 21st Armored Division, do you understand? The unique 21st Armored Division!"

Colonel Slain nodded, with a proud smile on his face.

"I think there is another reason!" Qin Chuan said.

"What?"

"We are defending the Ruhr Industrial Zone!" Qin Chuan replied: "If the tanks they produce are not equipped for us and let us do our best to win the battle, they will have to leave them to the enemy!"

The smile on Colonel Slain's face froze: "This may be the real reason! Otherwise, the SS will still get them!"

General Streck teased: "You shouldn't say it, Lieutenant Colonel!"

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

"General!" Colonel Albuqi, who had just received the tank, ran over with excitement on his face.

"Colin!" General Streck asked: "Are you satisfied with the new equipment you received?"

"Of course!" Colonel Albridge replied: "Very satisfied!"

After pausing, Colonel Albridge added: "But I don't know if I should say it, General!"

"What?"

"This batch of equipment does not seem to be suitable for fighting here!" Colonel Albridge said hesitantly: "Did they not take this into consideration?"

Obviously, Colonel Albridge was worried that the equipment would be recycled by his superiors.

But what he said is right, the reason is just like what I said before... The Netherlands is a country with a very low average altitude, with wetlands everywhere here, and it is a nightmare to fight armored troops, especially tanks weighing 56 tons.

"Don't worry, Colonel!" General Streck comforted: "They obviously took this into consideration, too!"

"Then why are they..."

"Because we know where they are going to attack!" General Streck said: "They are attacking bridges, road intersections, and commanding heights on both sides of the highway! At the same time, we are dealing with paratroopers, and they do not have heavy weapons..."

Colonel Albridge couldn't help but say "Oh": "So we just need to deploy the tanks in these places waiting for them to come!"

"Yes!" General Streck nodded, "Of course, you can't let them discover that you have to pretend to be good for the tank, do you understand?"

"I understand, general!" Colonel Albridge replied excitedly.

"Also!" General Streck added: "We need to organize several mechanized troops, and they can attack when they are right!"
