In the north of the city, the rear of the position of the 9th Infantry Brigade of the British 3rd Infantry Division was a busy scene, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 9th Infantry Brigade and the engineer company of the brigade were busy building new fortifications, and the direction of the fortifications was not to the south of the city, but to the back of the whole brigade, north and northeast.

Since the position of the 8th Infantry Brigade on his left flank was showing signs of collapse, the commander of the 9th Infantry Brigade, Isaac. Colonel Glenn ordered his men to begin preparing for a two-sided attack from the Germans.

As for the escape, Colonel Glenn did not even think about it, he clearly saw that the German tanks that broke through to the 8th Infantry Brigade on the left were at least fifty or more, and the position of his troops was in an open meadow. Once the infantry of the 9th Brigade left the trenches and retreated westward, a one-sided slaughter awaited them in the event of encountering those German tanks in the open field.

Colonel Glenn stood alone in the midst of the busy crowd, quietly watching the six Matilda 2 tanks fade away, until his adjutant, Captain Johnson, told him that the division commander had a call for him.

Back at the brigade headquarters, Glenn picked up the microphone on the table and said, "I'm Isaac. Glenn, what's the matter? ”

Montgomery's anxious voice came from the microphone: "The positions of the 8th Brigade have been broken through by the Germans, your back has been exposed, and the Germans may attack you from behind at any time." ”

Hearing Montgomery's reminder, Glenn became even more angry, and said that since you knew that the Germans were going to attack me from behind, why did you transfer my only six Matilda 2 tanks?

"I see, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Glenn asked into the microphone.

"I am seeking the help of the French 21st Infantry Division, and they have promised to send reinforcements to help us. You immediately set up a position facing north in case of German attacks, and you must hold out until reinforcements arrive. Montgomery replied.

"I've sent someone to do it. You let the French go as fast as you can, and if the Germans really hit me on both sides, I won't be able to hold out for long. I need those six Matildas. I can last longer with them, and you'd better get them back. Glenn said.

A request to Glenn. Montgomery didn't answer, and there was only silence on the phone.

Just when Glenn thought the phone was disconnected, Montgomery's voice suddenly rang, "I've ordered the six Matilda to return to your station, you must hold on as long as you can." ”

Glenn was overjoyed and shouted into the phone: "With those tanks, I'm sure I'll be able to hold out until the French arrive." ”

Glenn put down the phone and immediately ran out of the brigade headquarters, urging his subordinates to build fortifications. While looking at the place where Matilda's tank had disappeared. Less than five minutes later, Colonel Glenn saw six Matilda tanks re-drive towards his position with heavy steps, and at this moment, Colonel Glenn felt that Matilda's bulky figure was more intimate than ever.

As the six Matilda 2 tanks approached his position, the smile on Colonel Glenn's face faded away, and a dark cloud crept up his bluish and white face.

Looking at the northeast sky, Glenn clearly saw a group of black dots in the sky, and the faint engine noise in the sky was getting louder and louder.

"Contact the division headquarters immediately and tell them that we need fighter support." Glenn turned around and ran back to the brigade headquarters and shouted to the brigade communicator.

The correspondent quickly made a phone call to the 3rd Infantry Division and explained the situation. The reply was received that the fighters would soon arrive, so let them be patient.

"They told us to be patient? What are you waiting for, waiting for the Germans' aerial bombs to blow us up to meat sauce? Colonel Glenn shouted angrily when he heard of the division's reply.

Complaining is complaining. Colonel Glenn nevertheless ordered the four remaining 40mm anti-aircraft guns of the 9th Infantry Brigade to prepare for battle, although it was likely to be only useless resistance.

However, Colonel Glenn found himself completely self-inflicted, and the menacing German planes did not even glance at his position, and flew straight west.

"Thank God, they didn't come for me." Colonel Glenn clutched his chest and then rushed out of the brigade headquarters and told his men to step up the construction of fortifications and prepare for a siege that the Germans could launch at any time.

Colonel Glenn breathed a sigh of relief and allowed the village to be north. Montgomery was shocked in his division.

He looked at the green smoke rising from the village of Rongxieri, more than 500 meters south of the high ground where the division headquarters was located, and immediately thought of the battle of Xupu City the day before yesterday.

When the battle of the city of Syria reached a stalemate. This dazzling green smoke rose first south of the city of Syria, followed by Luftwaffe bombing. There was also the arrival of German armored forces.

Now this green smoke is rising in the village of Rongseri, the meaning is self-evident, thinking of this, Montgomery immediately shouted to the adjutant beside him: "Contact the military headquarters of the Sixth Army immediately, we need air force support." ”

As soon as Montgomery finished speaking, a staff officer rushed into his headquarters and shouted: "German planes, at least forty." ”

As soon as the staff officer finished speaking, Montgomery heard the screeching he had heard outside the city of Syria, and he knew that the bombers that made a terrible screech when they dive-bombed had attacked.

Hopefully, they'll be focused on the village of Jungseri, and hopefully the coalition fighters will arrive sooner," Montgomery prayed silently.

On a slope about two kilometers east of the village of Juncheri, Chen Dao's Bandit No. 1 and Rommel's No. 4D tank climbed up from the east side of the slope and joined Captain Bach and others at the top of the slope.

"The bombing has begun, and our actions must have been beyond their expectations, and I think Montgomery must have had a wonderful look on his face at this time." Chen Dao and Rommel jumped out of the car one after another, standing side by side on the slope and looking at the village of Juncheri, which was in a sea of fire in front of them.

"Who is Montgomery?" Rommel asked Chen Dao with a twitch of the corner of his eye.

"Montgomery is the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, and I think it's necessary for you to remember the name." Chen Dao said.

Rommel nodded disapprovingly, and then asked, "You also interrogated from the captives?" ”

Chen Dao's eyes flashed with an inexplicable glint before he said, "Yes, those captives are very cooperative and have explained everything they know. ”

Having captured the brigade headquarters of the 8th Infantry Brigade, the tank unit under Major Schumacher captured a group of officers of the 8th Infantry Brigade.

After Chen Dao arrived with the second battalion of paratroopers, several colonel-level officers who were personally captured invited to a secluded place. The two sides had a "calm" conversation. Chen Dao quickly made those colonel-level officers understand the truth of "confessing leniently and resisting strictly", and those heroic ** officers were inspired by Chen Dao, who was upright (banditry). He immediately gave Chen Dao the news that the headquarters of the Third Infantry Division was located near Rong Xieri Village.

After learning the location of his old enemy Montgomery, Chen Dao immediately joined up with Rommel, who was hiding in the distance and pretending to be deaf and dumb. The two men then led the tank battalion and the second paratrooper battalion to the village of Rongseri.

"Montgomery must have thought that we were going to outflank his troops outside of Sypp, but he didn't know that his division was more attractive to us." Rommel said with a smile.

"Did your reconnaissance platoon find its way? Which way do we go from on earth, south or north? Chen Dao asked.

"Northside." Rommel said.

Five minutes later, with the tanks in front and the Type 251 armored vehicles of the 2nd Paratrooper Battalion behind, Chen Dao and Rommel set off again, preparing to take the north side of Rongsheri Village and detour back to the west of Rongsheri Village, cutting off the retreat of the 3rd Infantry Division headquarters to the west.

Chen Dao was lying on the front of the Bandit No. 1. Let the warm spring breeze hit your face. The thought of being able to erase the only name on the blacklist before it got dark made Chen Dao's heart feel more comfortable than ever. Previously, because the coalition front was connected into a space with no detours, his troops could only choose to force a breakthrough head-on, but now they finally have enough space to outflank them, and if they can't surround Montgomery's division headquarters, they will be sorry for those subordinates who died outside the town of Voss, Norway.

Chen Dao was pondering which of the ten Manchu tortures he should take to treat Montgomery if he were to be captured alive, when Rommel's battle order suddenly came over the radio.

The reconnaissance platoon's No. 2 tank found a British artillery position northwest of the village of Junchery, and upon receiving the report from the reconnaissance platoon, Rommel immediately decided to take the sheep and kill it.

When Chen Dao learned that the target was the artillery position of the 3rd Infantry Division. The blood of the bandits in his whole body immediately boiled. The artillery in this artillery position is likely to be the culprit of the original shelling of the field investigation team in the Norwegian town of Voss, and it must not be let go.

Chen Dao gave an order, and the second battalion of paratroopers immediately followed behind the tank. Murderously rushed towards the artillery positions of the British troops

On the high ground north of the village of Joncheri, Montgomery's aide-de-camp, Captain Prince, cautiously looked up at the sky and found that there was only a mass of fighters from both sides in the sky, and those "crows" that would make a terrifying scream had flown away.

Prince stood up and looked up for a while, finally seeing a group of black dots flying farther and farther northeast.

These nasty guys, they're finally gone, Captain Prince cursed a few words before looking back at the semi-underground bunker where the division headquarters was located, and his face instantly turned pale.

By this time, the underground bunker had collapsed in half, and less than a third remained intact.

After the battles of the previous days. With only 14 ME-109 fighters and 31 Stuka bombers left in the Air Artillery Corps, Chen feared that Montgomery's death would not be happy enough. He commanded them to come out of the nest today.

After a dozen Stuka bombers dropped their bombs, the village of Joncheri, with just over 40 houses, was reduced to rubble. The rest of the dozen Stuka in order not to waste bombs. The target was shifted to the defenders' positions near the village of Jungseri, and Montgomery's division was also affected by the pond fish. Two 500-kilogram bombs and four 50-kilogram bombs exploded in the vicinity of his bunker, which did not withstand the shock wave and collapsed, burying Montgomery and most of the divisional headquarters alive.

"The division commander is still inside, save people." Captain Prince screamed and was the first to rush to the collapsed bunker, digging with his hands to rescue Montgomery who had been buried alive.

Other surviving British soldiers also rushed into the scene of the live burial to rescue the people, and a few minutes later, the sappers directly under the division headquarters also joined the rescue team.

Captain Prince dug out two people in a row who were not his beloved division commanders, seeing that the time dragged on for more and more, and the chances of the division commander surviving were getting smaller and smaller, when Captain Prince's eyes were already oozing tears, an exclamation came from behind him: "The division commander is here." ”

Captain Prince turned and threw himself at the place where the sound came from, just in time to see two soldiers join forces and drag Montgomery by the shoulders and drag him out of the pile.

Prince immediately went up to help, and the three of them helped the dying Montgomery to a stretcher and carried him out of the scene of the live burial.

An old military doctor with gray hair touched Montgomery's neck artery, pressed a stethoscope on Montgomery's body for a while, and then said: "The division commander is still alive, but his vital signs are very weak, and I can't treat him here, so we must send him to a big hospital." ”

When Prince heard this, he hurriedly found a Bedford truck, and together they carried Montgomery's stretcher into the car. Prince jumped into the truck first, called the old medic and the two soldiers who had dug up Montgomery, and drove west in the direction of Reims (to be continued)
