In the early hours of May 10, just after dawn, the characteristic hum of aircraft engines could be heard over the village of Stoney.

A single-winged, tiny-looking plane kept hovering over the village of Stoney.

Eight kilometers west of the village of Stoney, in Tanai, an aircraft of the same type was also cautiously spying on the German lines on the ground.

In the village of Stoney, Major Schultz looked up at the French reconnaissance plane that was flying lower and lower, and then said to Major Graeme, who was standing beside him: "It is getting bolder and bolder, and it dares to fly so low, we really indulge it." ”

"Don't we have anti-aircraft artillery, why don't we kill it?" Graeme asked.

"The location of the anti-aircraft guns cannot be revealed prematurely, and the task of taking out them will be done by professionals." Schultz said.

Graeme looked at Schultz touching his shiny bald head, and once again showed that mysterious smile mixed with pride and confidence, and said in his heart, for combat operations such as fighting planes, is there a more professional weapon than anti-aircraft guns?

Graeme's question was quickly answered, and it wasn't long before four black dots appeared in the sky northeast of Stoney Village, and the four black dots flew over Stoney Village almost in the blink of an eye.

It was a German fighter, and Major Graeme soon saw the Iron Cross on the wings of the four planes through his telescope.

The French reconnaissance plane also spotted the German fighter plane, which had not come well, and hurriedly turned its nose and flew south.

Of the four Me-109 fighters that flew quickly, two continued to fly southwest in the same direction, while the other two turned their noses and condescendingly pounced on the fleeing French reconnaissance plane.

The French reconnaissance plane dangled through the air and flew out of an S-shaped route, trying to evade the German fighters.

Its reaction seemed to the Me-109 fighter to be nothing more than a dying struggle, and the two Me-109 fighters bit the reconnaissance plane and opened fire one after another, and the sky soon appeared with white fireworks emitted by the explosion of countless cannon shells.

After each of the two fighters fired a round of shells, a few small wisps of black smoke first came out of the fuselage of the French reconnaissance plane, and then a few wisps of black smoke converged into a thick black plume of smoke.

With black plumes of smoke and dazzling firelight, the French reconnaissance plane rushed headlong to the southeast.

After seeing the French reconnaissance plane crashed into pieces on the ground, the two German fighters flew away triumphantly.

Shortly after they left, two other ME-109 fighters also killed the French reconnaissance plane that was scouting near Tanai and left after their comrades.

Graeme took in the entire air battle in Stoney Village, pursed his lips and said, "They are indeed professionals, you have air support that can be called at your disposal, and I am starting to envy you a little now." ”

Schultz stared up at the northeast and replied, "Look, the reconnaissance plane is coming." ”

Graeme looked up and saw two black dots in the northeast sky.

"The regimental commander said that in the war twenty years ago, whoever mastered the sea mastered the land. But now, whoever masters the sky can master the sea and land, we must grasp the pulse of the times, keep up with the pace of the times, otherwise we will inevitably be ruthlessly abandoned by the times. ”

"I admit that the Air Force is important, but I think the Army is more important." Major Graeme disagreed with Schultz's argument of air force victory.

Schultz smiled as I knew that, and instead of trying to persuade Major Graeme to accept the idea of "that regimental commander," he said, "I hope the French will move faster, Commander Mandolfil said, and we will have to wait until 12 noon at most." ”

"At twelve o'clock, what will happen to you if the French do not attack?" Graeme asked.

"If the French don't come to us, then we have to go to the French." Schultz replied with a smile.

"I wonder how long they can hide in that woods? They are so patient. Graeme said, looking at the woods to the southeast.

Deep in the woods, 1,500 meters southeast of the village of Stoney, the commander of the 3rd French Reserve Panzer Division, Brochar, the commander of the 10th Army, Grandsal, and Colonel Martin sat around a round table about one meter in diameter.

Brochar pointed to the map on the table and said: "The 5th Tank and Semi-Brigade has been assembled, and the 16th Motorized Chasseur Battalion and the 319th Artillery Regiment have also been deployed, shall we wait for the 7th Tank and Semi-Brigade to arrive before attacking, or will we attack now?" ”

"We can't wait any longer, if we wait any longer, more and more Germans will cross the Maas, and we will face more and more enemies. The two infantry battalions of the 71st Infantry Division and the 10th Combat Tank Battalion are in place, they will assist you in the attack, and with the remnants of the 213th Regiment, we now have three tank battalions and nearly four infantry battalions, which is enough to fight a battle, and we have to fully trust the combat effectiveness of the B1 tank. Grandsal said.

Brochal glanced at Brochar from the corner of his left eye, although he still hoped in his heart that he would attack after the whole division arrived, but because Gransar was the supreme commander here, he could only choose to reserve his opinion.

A captain's staff officer of the 3rd Reserve Panzer Division hurried over to the three men and reported to Brochar: "Both of our reconnaissance planes were shot down by the Germans, and this is the last information they sent. ”

After reading the report, Brochar handed it to Gransar, "The reconnaissance plane has found that a large number of German troops are gathering north of Stoney, and it seems that we must hurry up and launch an attack, and we must regain the Stoney Heights before the Germans in the north move south, so as to seize advantageous terrain for future battles." ”

Grandsal was about to speak, when his ears suddenly twitched a few times, and he looked up at the sky.

Through the gaps in the branches of the trees, he saw a plane hovering over the trees in the sky, and Brochar and Martin spotted it.

"We must drive it away, otherwise the artillery battalion will not dare to open fire." Brochal shouted.

A few minutes later, six French 25-mm anti-aircraft guns opened fire one after another, and four 13.2-mm anti-aircraft machine guns also joined the ranks of the fighters, and a dense range of shells and machine-gun bullets were fired at the Fi-156 reconnaissance plane.

Seeing the rows of tracer bullets flying next to the plane, the pilot of the reconnaissance plane was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly pulled the control stick to make a serpentine route in the sky, and luckily evaded the French anti-aircraft fire and flew south.

Looking at the German reconnaissance plane, which was not fleeing eastward, but flying southward, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Brochar's heart.

Shaking his head to dispel the inexplicable clouds in his head, Brocharle immediately gave the order to fight.

An hour later, in the south of the village of La Bersas, looking at the French tanks and infantry charging across the hills, Sergeant Steiner unhurriedly took a puff of the freshly lit Cosmos brand cigarette in his mouth, and said to Corporal Meyer, a close friend, "The time has come to avenge Lieutenant Pelpel."
