Chapter 744: Enter Exeter

German, coming soon? Hearing what the station master said, Bernard froze for a long time, what's the joke? Where are the Germans? Is it an airborne soldier?
The station master didn’t know, he just received an order from his superiors and asked him to convey this order, and even though Bernard didn’t believe it, after confirming that the order was true, he immediately issued a combat order to his troops.
"Quick, get out of the car immediately, everyone, organize the team, we are about to go into battle!" Bernard shouted loudly.
When he led the team and ran forward, just out of the city, he saw the highest commander of the local defender, Captain Willie Mills, commander of D Company.
"We are building a defensive line outside the city, hoping to block the German team and persist until the arrival of backup." Mills said to Bernard: "Brigadier, now I will give you the command of our company."
Although he is the commander here, he is only a company commander. According to the regulations of military rank, after a higher commander comes in, he will obey the other's orders.
"Where are the Germans from?" Bernard asked.
"Our Plymouth port was captured by the Germans." Mills knew more: "Now, the German vanguard, the armored division of their Waffen-SS, is moving towards us."
German armored forces! They are about to face the German armored division. Think about the terrible Panthers and Mills knows the weight of his shoulders.
It is conceivable that this will be an extremely cruel battle. Many people present will pay the price of their lives, but they have no choice.
Plymouth! Hearing this, Bernard was also taken aback. His troops were originally ordered to garrison Plymouth. If they were still there, the landing of the Germans would definitely not be so easy!
Thinking of this, he was full of anger.
"Well, now, I order all the troops to return to the city." Bernard gave his order.
Upon hearing this order, Millston was taken aback: "We are going back to the city? Brigadier, our task is to protect the city!"
"Yes, if we want to protect the city, we have to retreat." Bernard said: "If we are outside, our army of thousands of people is not enough for a German charge, their tanks, Will crush us mercilessly."
"We are not afraid of death!" Mills said loudly, now that he can come out to fight, he is determined to die.
"But, what can we get when we have sacrificed? Here, our sacrifices are in vain." Bernard said: "We have to go back to the city and use the Germans' self-confidence and reckless mentality to fight in the city. In street fighting, we have anti-tank grenades, and we can also rush to manufacture Molotov cocktails. Only in cities can we persist in fighting, destroying a large number of German tanks, and at the same time persisting until reinforcements arrive."
Bernard’s words made Mills nod, and he saluted Bernard: "Brigadier, you are right. Now, please lead us to continue fighting!"
His question just now was just thinking that Bernard wanted to be a deserter. When Bernard said his thoughts, the doubt disappeared. In the city, the German tanks can be better eliminated!
Panther 3 tank, invincible across the entire European continent!
Now, the diesel engine at the rear rumbling loudly, in a Panther 3 tank, the company commander Lieutenant Levat, through the observation hole in the front, observes a flat land that suddenly appeared after the peak, the city at the foot of the mountain. .
Exeter!
According to the order, they needed to capture the city quickly, and after looting it, they occupied the traffic artery.
Now they rushed to the forefront, and the city was right in front of them.
However, Livat always has an ominous premonition that the front is too calm, and the calm is abnormal!
"Where are our infantry?" Levat said to the radioman. "Contact our infantry, where are they?"
"The company commander, just behind us, one kilometer away, because the mountain road turns, we can't see them. On this kind of road, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are not as fast as our tanks." The radio operator said.
In the early days of the war, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, as a low-cost infantry delivery vehicle, played a very important role. The mobility of the armored division depends not only on a few tanks, but on a large number of infantry. Follow up.
Wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, a large number of components are common to trucks, which allows them to be manufactured quickly and at low cost. However, under many complicated terrain, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are not suitable.
It is said that in the rear, a new heavy tracked infantry fighting vehicle based on the Panther 2 chassis is being developed~EbookFREE.me~ As long as it succeeds, it will definitely change the Waffen SS, but it will take a while to talk about it.
What's the matter, the current British war can't keep up.
It is only one kilometer, and the infantry will soon catch up. Looking at the city close at hand, Livat could not refuse the yearning in his heart.
"Go ahead, enter the city, follow the main road, and reach the city hall." Levat said.
According to the intelligence, there is no heavy guard stationed here, with hundreds of guards, dare to come to your own trouble?
As tank soldiers, advance is their creed, no matter what is ahead, they must advance!
The tracks were rolled onto the concrete pavement inside the solid urban area, and they entered the city!
On both sides, you can see British shops. This is an important trade transfer station with many shops. At this time, there is no one on the street. Obviously, when the tank with the cross sign painted on the turret came in, it was brought to the British. The shock of people is still huge.
One after another, the tanks platooned in a serpentine formation, marching towards the front. After turning right at the intersection, they entered the main road, and they could reach the city hall soon!
Out of vigilance, Levat did not open the hatch and exposed his body. His turret kept turning left and right. This was a common way for them to stay vigilant.
On the main road here, pedestrians began to appear. When these pedestrians saw the tank, many people were surprised, and some were running away quickly.
However, there were some people who did not leave. They just looked at the tank coming over, and the emotions in their eyes were very complicated.
"Do you want to fire?" the radio operator asked. As a radio soldier, he also had to operate a machine gun in front of the car.
"No, they are all civilians." Levat said. 108
