De Gaulle apparently camouflaged his position, but there was nothing of value at all from the aerial photographs of the Air Force reconnaissance plane, so Rommel decided not to waste time thinking about this after thinking about it for a long time, anyway, his own large-scale frontal attack was not his goal, and his real killing move was to sneak attack the armored battalion on the flank and the panzergrenadier regiment from the "Burlissingen" division.

Whatever you're thinking, I'm ready to deal with it! Rommel thought to himself.

"Order the troops to attack as planned!" He commanded the radioman.

Under Rommel's orders, the troops of the 7th Panzer Division crossing the Somme began to form formation, with tank units in front, Panzergrenadier battalions in armoured vehicles behind, and motorized infantry dismounted and followed in the rear, rapidly advancing with the help of the armor of the first two as cover.

In the face of the German army's standard infantry and tank coordinated offensive tactics, the French army seemed to have no choice but to use bullets to attack the German armored units needlessly, watching the tank tracks get closer and closer to them.

It was not until the German tank group was only about 100 meters away from the French front-line positions that the French launched an effective attack.

Somewhere in the French position, a group of SA37 Type 47mm anti-tank guns.

"Hey! Marty, it's close enough, shall we fire? ”

"Fire!"

"Which one?"

"Just hit the ugliest one!"

"Okay, let's take it first!"

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, a 47mm anti-tank shell broke off the barrel and spun and flew towards Rommel's "Command Tiger".

But apart from a crisp "ding", the "ugliest" tank in their mouths did not have any, and continued to run over the French position.

However, although there is only a crunch sound outside, the sound inside is not just a "crunch", but a muffled sound similar to ringing a bell.

Rommel, who was reading the briefing, was startled by this sound, and when he came to his senses, he rubbed his somewhat sore ears and asked the driver, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, Commander." The driver said indifferently, "It's just an anti-tank shell." ”

"Oh." Rommel nodded, "It turned out that I was hit by a shot, I thought it was a big deal......

With that, he continued to look down at the briefing.

"What's the situation?!" The squad leader of the anti-tank artillery group that attacked Rommel looked at the "command tiger" who did not even leave a trace and was confused, "Why is it still driving?" Didn't it hit? ”

"It doesn't seem to have penetrated...... The squad leader ......, "The gunner was also stunned.

They were not front-line French troops, they had been stationed in the rear before, and had not fought with the German heavy tank units, so according to their previous experience with German medium tanks, the Germans could not stop them at a distance of 100 meters.

"Could this be the legendary Tiger tank?" The loader wondered.

"Definitely not! The Germans' Tiger tank is equipped with an 88mm tank gun, and you see the small water pipe on the top of that tank, which is not as thick as our gun, how can it be a Tiger? The squad leader said firmly, "It must be that our posture is not right, let's do it again!" ”

"Understood!" "Bang!" "Ding~"

"One more shot!"

"Good!" "Bang!" "Ding~"

"What is TM doing?" Seeing that the "Command Tiger" still didn't have anything to do, the squad leader was instigated, "Forget it, it's slipped!" ”

After saying that, he took his artillery squad and dragged the cannon to withdraw from the traffic trench dug early in the morning.

But Rommel was furious.

"NM: Lao Tzu wants to see a briefing, and you won't let me live in peace? Want to run now after pretending to be forced? He slapped the document in his hand on the small table inside the tank, "Drive!" Push me up, I'm going to shoot these bastards! ”

"Okay!" The driver was also bored, and as soon as he heard Rommel's order, he immediately increased the throttle and chased after the retreating French artillery squad.

Rommel, on the other hand, stood up and took charge of the 20mm cannon himself.

Although the speed of the "command tiger" was slow, it was easy to catch up with the infantry who were running away with their guns, and soon Rommel saw the French artillery squad.

"Die, you!" He yelled, then pulled the trigger of the machine gun.

"Tom tom!" The machine guns made regular shaking, and 20mm high-explosive shells were constantly fired at the French artillery.

But to be honest, Rommel's accuracy was really not good, and the tank was in motion at this time, plus the power of the 20mm high-explosive shell was really not good, so only a few of the 20 shells in one magazine were killed, killing two soldiers.

However, Rommel's "powerful" firepower frightened the surviving soldiers, who immediately abandoned the corpses and cannons of their comrades and rushed to the rear.

"Stop!" Rommel shouted at the driver, then took off an MP40 hanging on the inner wall of the tank, lifted the hatch above his head and poked his head out, and swept the French soldiers with a wild sweep.

The high rate of fire and large ammunition capacity of the MP40 made up for the lack of accuracy, and after a rain of bullets, the soldiers who wanted to run all rushed to the street.

The other soldiers on the battlefield had never seen such a fierce person, and they dared to open the hatch and shoot on the other people's position, so they turned their guns one after another, wanting to teach such an arrogant "soldier" a lesson.

However, other German tanks duly supported the "Command Tiger" and their division commanders, and the MG42's 7.92mm bullets mixed with countless high-explosive shells smashed into the French position, crushing the French soldiers in the position.

And Rommel also sensed the danger at this time, and quickly shrank into the "command tiger", and then locked the hatch from the inside.

It was only at this time that several French soldiers who were closer to the "Command Tiger" realized that the arrogant "soldier" who had just come out seemed to be holding the rank of lieutenant general.

"Am I right? It seemed to be a German lieutenant general just now? A soldier holding a MAS-36 rifle asked his comrade next to him with a puzzled face.

"Well... It seems to be yes...... "His comrades-in-arms are also full of confusion.

"! There's a German lieutenant general here! Brothers, come and him! The two were stunned for a few seconds, then immediately jumped up and shouted.

It's a pity that they forgot that this is the battlefield, the most taboo on the battlefield is to jump, and the second taboo is to shout, and they both occupy it.

The German tanks were not polite, and two short shots came and sent the two to heaven.

However, their words spread out, attracting a large number of French infantry and surrounding the "Command Tigers" who rushed into the German positions.

Most of them were constantly attacking vulnerable parts such as the tracks of the "Command Tiger" with light anti-tank weapons such as anti-tank rifles, and some of these bold French soldiers climbed directly onto the turret of the "Command Tiger" with the intention of priing open the turret hatch.
