On an open and flat meadow more than 500 meters east of the city, Chen Dao and Rommel were picking up the wind for the commander of the Ninth Armored Division, Huibiqi, who had just arrived in the city.

The ceremony, which was held at Chen Dao's enthusiastic suggestion, had no food or wine, only the rumbling sound of cannons.

With each cannon shot, the dark clouds on Hubich's face deepened, and Rommel, who was standing to his right, looked equally ugly.

"Sergeant Gauss, get your tank close to a distance of ten meters and get another shot." Chen Dao shouted to the commander of the No. 3 tank in the distance with a megaphone.

Sergeant Gauss then gave the order to the driver, and the No. 3 tank "squeaked" forward more than 40 meters, and did not stop until it was about 10 meters away from the Matilda II tank that was the target.

The KWK36 37mm L46 gun on the turret of Tank 3 shook a few times, followed by a crisp sound of gunfire, firing a shell at Matilda II, which was ten meters away.

&None&Error&Novel{}

In full view, the 37mm armor-piercing projectile was thrown into the air by the Matilda II's thick front armor projectile with a "bang", and then fell into the dust.

Chen Dao took out a pack of cosmic brand cigarettes and handed one to each of Huibiqi and Rommel, and then asked, "General Huibiqi, do you still want to continue the experiment?" ”。

With a heavy face, Huibiqi took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Chen Dao and Rommel, and then asked, "What weapon did you use to kill this tank?" ”

Chen Dao showed a standard sunny smile with eight teeth exposed, and said in his heart that I am waiting for you.

Chen Dao raised his hand and snapped his fingers at the No. 4 G tank parked on the sidelines. Then he shouted, "One thousand meters." ”

Major Schumacher, who had gone out to do the test himself, was half exposed outside the turret. He saluted Chen Dao in a chic manner, indicating that he had received the order. Then he commanded the No. 4 tank to stop a kilometer away, and turned to face the Matilda II tank.

About a minute later, the No. 4G tank under the command of Major Schumacher fired three shots, all three of which hit the target, except for one shell that hit the turret of the Matilda tank and was ejected, and the other two were all penetrated.

Whibich and Rommel walked up to the front of Matilda's tank, reached out and touched the two bullet holes in Matilda's front armor, and then looked at the fourth G tank in the distance. There was a terrifying glint in his eyes.

Are you envious? Jealous? Hate? If you are jealous and hateful, when the French campaign is over, go to the army ordnance bureau. If you commanders of armored divisions don't put more pressure on the Army Ordnance Bureau, with the bureaucratic style of the Army Ordnance Bureau, you don't have to use the vulnerable No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 tanks in your hands.

Chen Dao saw the expressions of the two of them clearly on the side, and said in his heart that it seemed that two more division commanders had taken the bait.

After the outbreak of the French Campaign, the luxurious equipment of the Hermann Goering Regiment was the first to appear in the 19th Panzer Army, and the three commanders of the 1st, 2nd and 10th Panzer Divisions had already been severely stimulated.

The other day, in the battle near the city of Sypp, he provoked the commander of the 7th Panzer Division, Rommel, and today he succeeded in provoking the commander of the 9th Panzer Division, Hubich, so that five of the ten commanders of the German Panzer Division were already red-eyed by the equipment of the Hermann Goering regiment.

On the way south, you may also encounter the 5th Armored Division, which belongs to the 15th Armored Corps with the 7th Panzer Division. There were also the 6th and 8th Panzer Divisions of the 41st Panzer Corps on the left flank of the 15th Panzer Corps, a French campaign down. The commanders of at least eight armored divisions would have been inspired by the equipment of the Herman Goering regiment to resent the Army Ordnance Bureau.

After the end of the French campaign, I waited to see the office building of the Army Ordnance Bureau shattered by the roar of protest from the armored division commanders, oh, almost forgetting that there were three army commanders in front of the division commanders: Guderian, Hoult and Reinhardt. When the time comes, fanning them a little bit of yin wind and a little bit of yin fire will be enough to cause an earthquake within the army.

If you want to speed up the redressing of the army's armored units, it is certainly not possible to use only persuasion and education against the army ordnance bureau controlled by a group of bureaucrats, and it is necessary to wake them up with one resounding slap after another.

Huibiqi's voice pulled Chen Dao's consciousness back to reality from the infinite obscenity.

"General Rommel, Colonel Rosen, on behalf of the 9th Panzer Division, I thank you for this special reception ceremony, if it were not for your reminder, my troops would have suffered heavy losses in the unprepared battle with such tanks of the British, please accept my gratitude." Hubich said and gave a standard military salute to Chen Dao and Rommel.

Originally, when he heard that Chen Dao and Rommel were going to hold a ceremony for him, Huibiqi's first reaction was disgust. When the Ninth Panzer Division first arrived on the battlefield, he still had a lot of affairs to deal with, such as the stationing of troops, investigating the situation on the battlefield, and familiarizing himself with the surrounding terrain.

Without waiting for Huibiqi to refuse, Chen Dao took the preemptive action, saying that the theme of this reception ceremony was to introduce the experience of fighting the British and French armies to the Ninth Panzer Division, and Huibiqi reluctantly decided to participate.

Soon after the ceremony began, Hubiqi secretly congratulated himself on his participation in this unique ceremony, which would save the lives of countless soldiers of the 9th Panzer Division in the following battles, so he sincerely thanked Chen Dao and Rommel.

"The guns of the Type 4D and the 3rd were powerless against the British, let alone the 2nd and 1st with only a 20-mm gun. If we encounter the Matilda II and the B1 that Colonel Rosen talked about, we can only use 88mm anti-aircraft guns against them, or we can ask for help from Stuka bombers, which is very tricky. As Rommel spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the Type 4G tank parked on the side.

Chen Dao took a few puffs of cigarette and tried to mobilize the muscles on his face to squeeze out a regretful expression.

"It's a pity that the No. 4G tank can only be produced by the Skoda Arsenal, and the production is very limited, otherwise I must have found a way to get the army to purchase this tank as well. It's just that even if the Army Ordnance Bureau decides to purchase it, because of the production problem, the amount that can be distributed to you will not be too much, and it seems that you will have to use those old No. 1, No. 2 and Type 38T tanks for a while. After Chen Dao finished speaking, he pretended to let out a long sigh.

Seeing the look of regret and helplessness on Chen Dao's face, Hui Biqi was really fooled.

"When the French campaign is over, I will write a report on everything I saw today and complain to the higher authorities, no, I will write it today. As for the issue of yield, that's not something we should be considering. ”

"I also think that the Ordnance Bureau should pay attention to these equipment as soon as possible, and I will go back to write a report now, and strive to send the report out before departure." Rommel echoed.

Chen Dao still looked worried about the country and the people, and continued to fan the flames.

"I think your report should soon be taken seriously in the upper echelons of the army, the Herman Goering regiment is only Marshal Goering's guard, as Marshal Goering's guard captain, I must admit that your army is the main force of ground operations, and it is very unreasonable or a crime to let you use equipment that is inferior to the air commander's guard."

Huibiqi and Rommel nodded together, deeply agreeing with Chen Dao's words

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Dao and Rommel said goodbye to Huibiqi, who had come to see them off, and set out on the road to the south. (To be continued......)
