After throwing away the rubber boats and assault boats in the Maas River, the infantry jumped on the boats and rowed with oars, and sixty-two boats made countless waves on the river, shooting like sixty-two sharp arrows on the south bank of the Maas River.

Seeing the German fleet rushing towards the south bank, the French soldiers who had survived the German artillery bombardment came out of their positions and fired at the German soldiers on the river.

Machine gun and rifle bullets rained down into the river, splashing rows of white water on the river's surface.

Occasionally, a few ** shots fell into the river, and in the explosion, the river rose into the air like a fountain, and then crackled and fell, wetting the uniforms of German soldiers.

The German soldiers crossing the river did not sit still, and a MG34 machine gun mounted on the bow of the ship spat out tongues of fire without showing weakness, and fired at the French troops on the opposite bank.

The French soldiers who were firing at the Germans were soon targeted by the muzzles of a black hole.

On the river bank behind the German soldiers, the No. 4 assault gun and the No. 4 tank destroyer, which were in full position, turned their guns and pointed at the exposed fire points of the French army.

After 10 105-mm howitzers and 14 75-mm tank guns fired two or three shells each, the fire from the French positions on the south bank disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that the danger had been lifted, the infantry of the Greater German Regiment stood up boldly and waved the oars in their hands, and in a few minutes the first assault boat crossed the river less than 200 meters and washed up into the sand by the river.

Seeing that some of their comrades had rushed to the opposite shore, the rowing infantry was in good spirits, and the oars were rowed more frequently.

The second and third・・・・・・ more and more assault boats and rubber boats rushed onto the beach on the south bank of the Maas River, and the infantry of the Greater German Regiment jumped nimbly into the sand and attacked the French positions on the south bank.

On the north bank of the Maas River, Guderian straightened up from behind the artillery sight glass, turned his head to stare at Mandolfir, and asked in surprise: "They just passed?" And they just passed it like that? Where are the French? Where did they go? ”

Mandolfel's expression was not much better than Guderian's, and the crossing of the river went more smoothly than he expected.

Facing Guderian's incredulous gaze, Mandolfil pondered for a few seconds and said: "Not everyone in military uniform with a gun can be called a warrior, maybe it is really like Colonel Rosen said, the last French warrior has died in the Napoleonic era, and we are now facing nothing more than a group of French people who look like warriors, they just look like them, but they are not." ”

"You have a point, what I hope most now is that the French are as vulnerable as we have just seen." Guderian said.

"Me too." Mandolfil said.

"You see, the second group of infantry has also come ashore." Guderian said, pointing to the river.

The 2nd Battalion of the Großdeutsch Regiment followed the 2nd Battalion on the south bank was followed by the 3rd Battalion, followed by the 1st and 4th Battalions.

The 2nd Battalion of the Großdeutsche Regiment quickly captured the crater-riddled 247 heights on the south bank of the Maas River, and on their right flank, the 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 1st Panzer Division also successfully crossed the Maas River.

After the infantry crossed the river, the 43 Assault Engineer Battalion of the Großdeutsch Regiment and the 1st Engineer Battalion of the Hermangolin Regiment arrived at the river and began to erect pontoon bridges.

On the north bank of the Maas River, Mandol watched anxiously as the sappers worked, and once the sappers had finished their work, he would lead the whole regiment across the river overnight.

Mandolfil was excited, but his immediate boss, Chen Dao, was happily lying on the front of the Bandit No. 1 and counting the heads.

At half past eight in the morning, the ghost battle group led by Chen Dao rushed into Luxembourg in high spirits, speeding down the road at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after a lunch break, the Ghost Battle Group set off again, and the speed dropped to 15 kilometers per hour.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the infantry of the Großdeutsche Regiment began to force their way across the Maas, the speed of the Ghost Battle Group had dropped to 5 kilometers per hour.

The reason is very simple, starting from Germany, the road to France through Luxembourg and Belgium is full of German teams in a hurry.

The 19th Panzer Corps led by Guderian was subordinate to the Kleist Panzer Group, which was nothing more than the pioneer of Army Group A.

Behind the Kleist armored group, the 12th Infantry Division and the two Motorized Infantry Divisions of the 11th Army were slowly following along the path they had walked, and the Ghost Battle Group plunged headlong into the march with no end in sight.

Chen Dao rested his arms across the front of the car, his chin rested on his arms, and said the words: "One horse, two horses, three horses・・・・・・ one corpse, two corpses, three corpses・・・・・・

On both sides of the road, the corpses of killed horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock were everywhere, and these corpses fell to the ground with their hooves spread out, the corpses were already swollen, and the air was filled with a putrid smell.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Dao finally saw the boundary marker on the border between Belgium and Luxembourg.

Beyond the boundary monument, the Ghost Strike Group set foot on Belgian soil. He hadn't gone far before his gaze turned to a cemetery on the right side of the road.

The corpse of a French soldier lies on all fours, lying on his back under a tombstone closest to the road.

As he passed by the corpse, Bandit One suddenly slowed down and stopped.

Chen Dao clearly saw that the corpse's eyes and mouth were open, and it turned out to be dead.

After staring at the corpse for a few seconds, Chen Dao turned his head to look at the front of the convoy, all the vehicles of the ghost battle group stopped at this time, and then began to move with difficulty, driving more than ten meters away, then stopping for a minute or two, driving more than ten meters away, and stopping for another minute or two.

Not only Chen Dao's convoy, but also the infantry parallel to the convoy slowed down the march.

"What's going on?" Chen Dao asked over the radio.

A moment later, Major Schumacher's voice came over the radio, "There was a 150-mm howitzer with a broken wheel on the left, and it is now paralyzed on the road, blocking half of the road." ”

"Ask when they'll fix it?" Chen Dao said and looked up at the sky, "We can't delay here for too long.

After a while, Schumacher said: "They will have to wait for the repairman to come and fix it, I'm afraid it will take a long time." ”

"Damn," Chen Dao couldn't help but complain, "You wait for me there, I'll go over right away." ”

Chen Dao jumped off Bandit No. 1 and walked to the front of the convoy on foot, and soon saw the culprit blocking the road.

On the left side of the road, an SFH-18 150mm howitzer was crooked on the road, blocking the Ghost Combat Group, which was also marching on the left side of the road, and the Ghost Combat Group's tanks and armored vehicles had to huddle together with the infantry column on the right side of the road, sharing the right half of the passage.

Chen Dao walked to the side of the cannon and asked, "Second Lieutenant, when will you be able to repair the cannon, there are still countless people waiting to go over." ”

The young ensign knew that he had caused a big disaster, and after saluting Chen Dao, he said, "Colonel, the repair personnel are already on their way over, and they won't be delayed for too long." ”

Chen Dao saw the second lieutenant's flushed face, and he didn't think much of his cure-all-for-all answer.

Looking up at the sky again, Chen Dao asked, "I'm Colonel Rosen of the Luftwaffe, your number?" ”

"I am Second Lieutenant Kepena of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the Artillery Regiment of the 30th Infantry Division." The second lieutenant said respectfully.

"The first battalion of the 30th Infantry Division, your battalion commander is Captain Randolph?" Chen Dao asked after recalling for a while.

"No, it's Major Randolph."

"Oh, so he was promoted to Major." Chen Dao nodded and whispered to himself.

Looking up at the sky, Chen Dao said, "I have a way to solve this problem, but you have to unload this cannon from the car first." ”

"Really?" The second lieutenant asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true." Chen Dao said very sincerely.

The young second lieutenant Kepena did not want to block the road any longer, and hurriedly unloaded the cannon from the back of the tractor with seven or eight artillerymen.

Chen Dao stood on the side of the road, told the infantry column to stop marching, and dispersed to both sides of the road to make way for a section of road more than twenty meters long, and then let the other vehicles behind the gun carriage pass first until a tank from the ghost battle group drove over.

Chen Dao motioned for the tank to stop, ran to the left side of the tank, climbed onto the tank with his hands and feet, and whispered a few words to the commander who was half exposed outside the turret, the commander glanced at the cannon crooked on the road, and nodded to Chen Dao.

Chen Dao immediately jumped out of the tank, took out a pen and paper from his satchel, and lay down on the front armor steel plate of a tank behind him to write.

The No. 4G tank came to a stop to the right of the cannon, then turned on the spot, turned its head at the cannon, and slowly pushed it up.

"What are you going to do?" Second Lieutenant Kepena exclaimed to the tank commander.

The commander ignored him and continued to order the driver to drive the tank towards the top of the cannon, and in less than a minute, the 150mm howitzer was pushed out of the road by the tank.

"Colonel Rosen, you lied to me." Second Lieutenant Kepena saw Chen Dao coming over and asked angrily.

"I didn't lie to you, isn't the road clear now?" Chen Dao said as he stuffed the blank paper in his hand into the hand of Second Lieutenant Kepena.

"This is an explanation of this road blockage incident, I have signed my name and position below, if your superior, it is your battalion commander who asks about this matter, you show him this explanation, he will not hold you responsible." Chen Dao said.

"But ・・・・・・"

Chen Dao grabbed the shoulders of Ensign Kepena, and the two walked to the side of the road, Chen Dao asked in a low voice, "How is your regiment's TOT artillery tactics practiced?" ”

"Very ・・・・・・ huh? How do you know we're going to tot tactics? Ensign Kepena asked in surprise.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the second lieutenant Kepena, Chen Dao smiled and asked, "Do you know who invented this tactic?" ”

"Major Randolph?" Ensign Kepena replied without thinking.

"What about before him?" Chen Dao asked.

"It's the Luftwaffe's ・・・・・・," Second Lieutenant Kepena reacted as soon as he spoke, "You're Major Rosen, oh no, it's Colonel Rosen?" ”

"Yes, I'm the same Major Rosen, and of course, now a colonel. Now you should trust me. Chen Dao said.

After solving the problem of traffic jams, Chen Dao led his subordinates back on the road.

As the sun sets and the sky is getting dark, the Ghost Strike Group moves into the Belgian border town of Laufchat. Chen Dao left Schubert and Schumacher to command the battle group and set up camp, and after a series of inquiries with Captain Lorenz and Captain Bach, he went to a small inn called the Lumberjack in the northeast of Laufchat.

After reporting his identity and intention to the guards standing guard at the door, the guards went in to report, and after a while, an army major hurriedly walked out of the main entrance of the hotel, and his eyes swept left and right to see Chen Dao and the three of them.

The army major walked towards Chen Dao with his arms outstretched, and Chen Dao stepped forward to hug him tightly.
