Chapter 570: Crossfire

"Quick, quick, speed up!" The night is dark. In this dark night, there is a motorcade that is moving fast.
To save the British Expeditionary Forces and rescue them back to the UK, this is very important to the UK. The British Navy is almost half disabled. If the British Army suffers serious losses, then the end of the UK will almost be You can see it.
Now, what is accelerating is the 3rd Infantry Division of the British Expeditionary Force, the vanguard of Montgomery.
At the same time, they were also the unit that suffered the least losses. When Wei Gang came to power and asked to turn to the counterattack, Montgomery did not want to counterattack. He didn't even bother to counterattack.
In this way, the strength of the Third Infantry Division is preserved. For example, now, the vehicles of their entire division are still in their hands, and their logistical supplies are still quite sufficient.
Now, the whole division is divided into 600 military vehicles and is advancing in the dark.
Now that the sky is all Germans, it is obviously not a good idea to act in the daytime, and they not only want to hide their whereabouts from the Germans, but also from the French.
It can only go fast at night!
However, they did not have any night vision equipment, so Montgomery came up with a simple and effective method.
Apply a layer of reflective paint on the reducer of the rear axle of all military vehicles, and illuminate it with a small lamp hidden under the rear fender, so that you can see nothing from the sky and nothing around you. Then, only the driver of the next car can see the faint light of the preceding car.
The entire convoy turned off the headlights, implemented strict light control, and retreated quietly in the dark.
The water nets are everywhere and the roads are muddy. At that time, the rapid advancement of the German armored forces encountered great problems. Therefore, they prepared weeds in advance and laid a layer on the roads. Moreover, their goal was not Dunke. Erke, therefore, is not the same way as the Germans.
Although it is a small country road, they can still pass. In particular, in order to prevent accidents, Montgomery also set up traffic pickets at intersections and corners where it is easy to get lost to direct the convoy.
This is a long night, and this night, they need to travel hundreds of kilometers.
At dawn, they needed to arrive in Calais, where they organized a strong defense line to ensure the safety of Calais, and persisted until the main force of the subsequent expeditionary force arrived and withdrew from the European continent calmly.
This night is very important to them!
At the same time, in their north, the corporation is also in motion.
The road is muddy. Because many vehicles have been abandoned, the French soldiers can only step on the muddy road and walk forward little by little. Dunkirk is their only way to survive.
The French 9th Army, the 27th Infantry Division, walked slowly in front. They had no fighting spirit for a long time. The only thing that supported them now was the British at Dunkirk.
Otherwise, they don't have to leave at all, just wait and wait for the French to capture them. In fact, many troops do this.
Step after step, the boots under their feet are getting heavier and heavier, so that many people can no longer walk.
"Oh, hum." At this moment, a tank drove over from behind, and they looked at the people on the tank with an enviable expression on their faces.
The infantry division is also equipped with tanks in a certain proportion. For example, this small Renault tank is the most common equipment in the French team.
The tank quickly surpassed them and continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to Dunkirk.
"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a huge fire light came in front, illuminating the dark night sky, and the Renault tank that was moving forward was destroyed!
Germans, Germans!
In an instant, they couldn't help but panic. It was obvious that their tank was destroyed by the Germans, and they had already exchanged fire with the Germans!
"Can't retreat, rush, rush over!" Behind, there was a command voice: "As long as we can rush through the German line of defense, ships will come to pick us up!"
The French commander had anticipated a fierce battle here. After all, Dunkirk had been occupied by the Germans, and they had to rush through the German defense line before they could rush to the sea!
They have no choice, they must rush forward!
Hearing the command from the rear commander, the French soldiers took up their weapons and continued to move towards the opposite side. After all, it is now at night, and the night will cover the attackers. If the other side wants to defend such a large area of ​​land, there must be gaps everywhere. As long as you can get through it!
"Chichichichi." A chainsaw-like voice came. It was the shooting of the terrible mg34 light machine gun! Without the flares, the opponent's accuracy is quite high!
Several French soldiers screamed and fell backward, while the soldiers behind immediately fell to the ground ~EbookFREE.me~ and did not dare to move forward.
They were horrified to find that the German on the opposite side seemed to be able to see themselves clearly in the dark, which was really terrifying!
Of course they don't know that the Germans already have night vision devices!
The current night vision device is still very primitive infrared headlights, with the receiving device, and can only be used by one person, that is, the captain. This kind of device has already begun to equip the German tank troops.
At the same time, with the successful development of transistors, large-scale transistor factories are being established. It will not be long before German electronic technology will usher in a leap, reducing power consumption and size, and night vision devices for individual soldiers. , Can also be developed accordingly.
This will have to wait at least for a while, and now, German tanks are the best way to deal with law teams attacking at night.
A few tanks were placed in front of the line of defense. When the French were seen slowly coming towards them from the night vision goggles, a unilateral slaughter-like battle began!
The mg34 machine gun on the tank fired frantically towards the French team. Then, under the command of the commander, the driver slowly moved the tank forward. Even if the tank gun was not used, only the machine gun could form an absolute against the French team. The advantage.
In this kind of attack, the French soldiers, who had no fighting spirit for a long time, collapsed when touched and began to retreat.
At this time, there are still more than ten kilometers away from Dunkirk, and the German defense line has expanded to such a far place!
The battle in Dunkirk had already begun, but Calais was still quiet.
The car of the 3rd Infantry Division was advancing fast. Sitting in the middle car, Montgomery's brows were always frowned. Now, although they are moving smoothly, the battle will start at any time! Mobile users please browse and read,
