Chapter 78: The Final Blow (Revision)

By the time Rommel arrived at Compiègne with his fast-moving force, it had been three days and three nights.

The distance of about 180 kilometers was broken by their almost continuous attacks for three days and three nights. For Rommel, who was directly in command of this rapid breakthrough, it was an unbelievable three days and three nights, and it was also an extremely exciting three days and three nights.

After three consecutive days of attacking, Rommel captured a large amount of French supplies. In addition to the guns and ammunition that could not be used, all kinds of artillery and shells that could be used were pulled into the car by Rommel and became the "pioneer" of his armored assault spearhead.

The attack capabilities of those assault guns are at their strongest with the cooperation of wheeled armored infantry fighting vehicles. In the face of the resistance of those troops behind the French line, it was like a sharp blade passing through, and there was no resistance at all.

If it weren't for the troubles below, in Rommel's character, he would have rushed to Paris to take the most beautiful laurels of the war.

"Sir, we're running out of fuel!"

The telecommunications officer in the command car patted his leg hanging in the car, and at this moment Rommel was sitting on the top of his command car, watching with great interest with his telescope, his armored troops were attacking a position hastily built by the French reserves.

The bunkers were vulnerable to 12.7mm machine guns and rockets. Not to mention his main invention, those armored vehicles that could be gassed at enemy forces at any time when the weather permitted, were further crushing the will of the enemy army.

Rommel was planning to deliver the final blow to them, because the mixed units of assault guns and armored vehicles, who carried out his "right elbow bend" tactic, had reached the enemy flank. He believed that with just one last blow, he would be able to break through into the forest. And after this, Paris is no longer in danger.

But at this time, God seemed to have sensed his pride, so he put a stop to his attack.

"Lack of fuel? Haven't our supplies arrived? Pick me up the supply officer. ”

Interrupted Rommel, seemed a little irritable, and after a while the messenger stuffed the receiver out of his command car.

"What, what's going on! Are we out of oil? Immediately send a telegram to the commander urging the ...... I don't care, I just want oil. Whether you steal or rob, you always know that I don't care, I just want oil! ”

Rommel, who was angry, looked around, and the anger in his heart just wanted to find someone to send a shot. Seeing that Compiègne was not far away, as long as they did not reach Paris, the French would be afraid that they would not be able to sleep at night.

However, his situation is now clear, both the cavalry that followed him, and the soldiers and personnel of those armored vehicles and assault guns are exhausted. The cavalrymen often fell off their horses and were injured because they fell asleep on their horses, and the armored soldiers often stared at them, so they drove the armored car into the river and into the wall.

But this was not a serious problem for the soldiers and their commanders who saw victory in sight. The most serious problem is that if there is no fuel, then relying on those cavalry alone to capture Compiègne is undoubtedly an act of death.

At this time, the supply officer, who had been severely trained by Rommel, came to deliver supplies to Rommel. But he did the last thing he should have done. He came to Rommel in a four-wheel drive "jeep" captured from the French.

"You, you bastard, I'm going to shoot you shit!"

Rommel, who was usually irascible and assertive, was in front of others for the first time, and did not give face to his officers at all. He jumped out of the armoured vehicle, a terrifying look in his gray eyes, and brandished his pistol.

The supply officer was clearly taken aback by Rommel's reaction, his face pale and cold sweat dripping from his forehead. But this guy is young in the end, and his reaction is not very slow. Running to the side, he screamed.

"Sir, sir, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry......"

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to send you to the gallows, I'm going to send you to a court-martial......"

Rommel, who was already in a semi-crazy state at the moment, couldn't listen at all, and it was also how much sacrifice and suffering his troops had paid. And the target is not far ahead, but the troops are out of gas, which is even more unacceptable than having no one to eat.

As a result, he is already in a state of complete rampage.

"Sir, I have a solution...... There's oil! …… I found oil ......"

It wasn't until the clever supply officer shouted out the good news that he had hurried to report to Rommel that Rommel stopped. It was only then that the supply officer, who had been circling around Rommel's command vehicle, had a chance to explain.

"Sir, do you see that car just now, we got quite a few from the French. There was still some fuel in a considerable number of trucks, and I thought that if we concentrated some more fuel in the transport trucks, it might be enough for us to finish the battle! ”

After chasing Rommel for a long time, who was a little breathless, he took back the pistol and gasped for breath and asked.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, yes sir!"

Hearing the news, Rommel's expression gradually relaxed, and the supply officer followed suit. Although Rommel was irascible as a young man, he was also a reasonable man.

"That's a good idea, why didn't you say it earlier. Anyway, I still have to apologize to you. Add all the fuel from this vehicle and the fuel from my command vehicle to the other vehicles. In addition, I order you to run back and immediately try to give me a well-oiled armored force, and we will march on Compiègne. If I'm not wrong, this is the last battle of this campaign! ”

The future "Desert Fox" - Erwin. Rommel's offense naturally does not need others to worry about him. Just as Tang Yunyang was watching the world's first naval battle in which the naval aviation of both sides participated in large numbers, Rommel had already led his fast column to Compiègne.

At this time, no one would have known that the two train cars here would be the place where the declaration of the end of the First World War would be signed, but now it has fallen into German hands. Then there is no doubt how long the war of the century will last, and it will become even more unknown to anyone.

When the politicians in Paris learned of this, they made a quick decision.

"I think Mr. President, I'm afraid the time has come when we have to give up on the general. I don't know what to say about it, but I've got this stuff and I think you should probably check it out. ”

At this time, as a result of the previous political earthquake and international jokes, Prime Minister Briand's cabinet collapsed. It was followed by the 80-year-old Alexander. Ribo reorganized the government, and the current Secretary of War is Paul. General Panleway.

Although he was a little different from his predecessor, he also disliked Xia Fei, a front-line general who had already caused too many casualties in the French army, and even had a replacement in his heart.

Ramon. President Poincaré's face was gloomy, because as far as he knew, it seemed that behind Xia Fei, there was a rather strong force composed of Chinese. And the Chinese chairman of the MPM military-industrial complex is one of his supporters, and if he wants to remove Xia Fei, I am afraid it will cause some uproar.

"Mr. Minister, do you already have the right person?"

With a procrastination in his mouth, he flipped through the pages of Secretary of War Paul. The information that Pan Lewe sent to him. When he opened the materials, the more he looked at them, the more surprised he became.

There are not only Xia Fei, Douglas. The photo of Haig having lunch with Tang Yunyang and Marian Witch in the afternoon, even including Tang Yunyang's disguised appearance with a sad face. It is completely different from the previous romantic scene with Marianne, and it is rare not to attract the attention of others.

And according to his observations, the people who carried out the surveillance were extremely careful, even attaching the date and time to the photos. Corresponding to this is a recent military order, which is topped by a number of red pen circles.

Ramon. President Poincarh took a closer look at these places and found that in the last half month, fighter jets and attack aircraft have not purchased equipment from the MPM military-industrial complex at all, but have turned to weapons from other arms companies.

"Mr. Minister, these ......"

"Your Excellency, according to our Second Military Intelligence Agency, they seem to have a dispute over some issues of the distribution of benefits. Especially on the list of military equipment purchases, you may know that this Chinese would not have achieved as much as today without those previous orders from the army, and I think they may have some kind of tacit understanding. But now they seem to have fallen out! ”

"Really? This Chinese is so bold, I think ......"

To Raymond. President Poincarh is about good news, for some reason, he, who has always considered himself free of racial prejudice, is not very comfortable to see a Chinese achieve such an achievement in his country.

Although he has an American nationality, what he didn't say in his heart was that if he was abandoned by Xia Fei, then now was a good opportunity to make him fall?

Paul. Pan Lewei stopped his words, he could see that if the president in front of him had to choose between going to Xiafei's post and attacking this Chinese, he would definitely choose the latter. And that was the choice that the Secretary of War considered the least appropriate to make.

"Mr. President, about this Chinese, I think you should probably listen to Colonel Picard of the Second Military Intelligence Agency. Or he will tell you more useful things that will enable you to make the right choice......"

Ramon. President Poincaré frowned, he did not like to see Colonel Picard, who had done a lot of secret things for him. Although he belongs to his own faction, he knows too many secrets.

"Could it be that this Chinese is a very important figure?"

Paul. Pan Lewei bowed respectfully and said, "I think, I'm afraid he may be an extremely important person as you analyzed!" ”
