However, this weakness is not only understood by De Gaulle, Guderian, as the master of German armor, is also very clear, but because he is now the commander-in-chief of the second armored group, he has no authority to govern Rommel's first armored group, so he has to choose to skip the level first and explain the situation directly to the Führer, and let Leon decide.

Leon took this very seriously when he received it, because he had learned many cases of armored units participating in street battles and suffering heavy defeats, the most famous of which was the first street battle in Grozny during the Chechen War.

In this battle, the Russian army itself had complete air supremacy and had the superior strength of four mechanized divisions as soon as the war began, and in this case, the Russian 131st Brigade and the 81st Motorized Rifle Regiment, equipped with more than 140 tanks and armored vehicles, took the lead in breaking into the center of the city, and they tried to annihilate the enemy in the city center in the shortest possible time.

But they were dealt a near-devastating blow shortly after breaking through the city center, 20 of the 26 advanced T80 and T72 main battle tanks and 102 of the 120 armored vehicles were destroyed by Chechen forces using RPG-7s or anti-tank mines, more than 70 people of the 131st Brigade, including the commander of the major general, were killed, and the 81st Motorized Rifle Regiment, which originally had more than 1,000 men, was beaten and only 11 people were withdrawn from the battle.

Although it was more of the Russian army's own tactical mistakes that caused this tragedy, it has to be admitted that tanks, which were originally almost invincible to light infantry in the field, were easily pressed to the ground by the infantry when facing the terrain of the city.

However, the tank is not completely useless in street fighting, and it can still play its "king of land warfare" under certain tactics - Lyon happens to know a thing or two about this.

Under his direct orders, the Wehrmacht's Fifth Panzer Division, which was storming Romiy at all costs, suspended its offensive, and at the same time, a new train covered with cloth was added to the Belgian-French railway line under German control, and it went straight to Romiy.

But don't look at the mysterious appearance of this train covered with a cloth all the way, in fact, what it carries is very simple, just a newly formed motorized infantry division.

However, although the division was newly formed, it was a veteran of at least five battles, and it was one of the few infantry divisions of the Wehrmacht to have the title of "Grozny" on the day it was founded, although all Germans did not understand why the Yuan named it a Soviet city.

But I believe that many friends understand, that's right, this division was born to fight urban street battles!

Compared with ordinary motorized infantry divisions, the combat vehicles of the "Grozny" division are accompanied by a small number of tanks and a large number of trucks, but in the tank units of the "Grozny" division, you will not find any normal main tank of the German army, because the tanks equipped with the "Grozny" division are all derivatives of the main tank, such as the "Lynx" anti-aircraft tank modified from the chassis of the No. 2 tank and using a quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft gun, or the "Wasp" self-propelled gun equipped with a 105mm howitzer. As well as assault guns No. 3 and No. 4, modified from the chassis of tanks No. 3 and No. 4.

The "Grozny" division was transported by train and soon arrived at the outskirts of Romey, and after unloading the trucks, the "Grozny" division entered a combat state after only a short rest of half a day, and the Fifth Panzer Division, receiving a direct order from Lyon, temporarily split from the reorganized division into tanks and formed separate combat groups with the basic combat units of the "Grozny" division. Soon, a makeshift battle group appeared on the outskirts of Romiy.

However, just as this battle group was about to show its edge, a drastic change suddenly occurred.

Headquarters of the 15th Army of the French Army, formerly the Romiy Town Hall building.

"Your 30th Division is still complete, so the Dongcheng District, which is closest to the German army, will be handed over to you to defend." De Gaulle glanced at the commander of the 30th Infantry Division, then pointed to several main roads on the map, and continued, "As always, you need to pay attention to the coordinated advance of the German army, at least these roads must be completely blocked with anti-tank mines, understand?" ”

"Yes!" The commander of the 30th Infantry Division looked at the map and immediately stood up and saluted.

"Then there's your 132nd Infantry Division, and your division still has a lot of anti-tank guns left, so your division is mainly responsible for defending the city center, and anti-tank gun positions should be deployed here, here, and here!" De Gaulle drew circles in several places, "In this way, our anti-tank guns will be enough to form several cross-fire points, and even if German tanks rush into the city center, no matter how they turn, there must be a flank exposed to our anti-tank guns." And then your 20th Division......"

Just as de Gaulle turned his head and wanted to give orders to Major General Yves of the 20th Infantry Division, a group of armed gendarmes rushed into the headquarters, and then several officers walked in unhurriedly, and a lieutenant general led by him applauded and ridiculed: "General de Gaulle, what a good point!" ”

De Gaulle was very annoyed by the sudden intrusion of a bunch of people in the headquarters, but he looked up at the gendarmerie logo on the soldiers and the generals on the shoulders of the officers, so he could only hold back his anger and asked quietly: "May I ask who are you ......?"

"The French inspection team is here to investigate the fact that you abandoned your position without authorization, causing the collapse of the entire front!" The lieutenant general said with a sneer.

"Why do you want to hold on to a position that you know you can't hold? Besides, if we hadn't moved to defend Romiy, I'm afraid the Germans would have dragged you to Paris long ago! Yves said angrily.

"Joke! If you hadn't evacuated your positions without permission, we wouldn't have lost the Somme, so how could we talk about Romiy?! A major general in the prosecution team said indignantly.

"We're here to bring de Gaulle back to Paris, it's none of your business, so you'd better shut up!" The lieutenant general also glared at Yves angrily, and then said to the gendarme behind him, "Gendarme, take de Gaulle away for me!" ”

"Yes!" The gendarmerie answered, and went up as if to arrest de Gaulle.

However, a group of division commanders and brigade commanders in the headquarters stepped forward at this time, drew their guns and confronted the gendarmerie, and the guards of the military headquarters outside also notified the neighboring troops, and soon two companies of French troops rushed to the army headquarters, and joined their commanders' array, and surrounded the headquarters on the three outer floors.

Seeing that the situation was completely under his own control, Yves even fired two shots directly into the sky, looked at the iron-faced lieutenant general and sneered: "I see who dares to take General de Gaulle away today!" ”
