Chapter 359: The Duel Between Rommel and De Gaulle! (b)

"He's General Charles de Gaulle." Bruce looked at the back of the fading back with admiration, "But isn't he the commander of the Fourth Armored Division?" How did you get to us? ”

"Fourth Panzer Division? You still don't know? The Fourth Panzer Division has been abolished," Philip waved his hand in dismay.

"Revocation of the establishment? What's going on? Isn't the 4th Panzer Division our trump card? Bruce said in amazement.

"Hey, a few days ago, General de Gaulle was ordered to lead the 4th Panzer Division to counterattack the Germans on the front line of Laon, indirectly supporting the defenders who were surrounded in the direction of Dunkirk, but as a result, the 4th Panzer Division just launched an attack and ran head-on into an infantry regiment of the Germans." Philippe said, "Will General de Gaulle let go of this good opportunity?" He led his troops up to eat the infantry regiment, but who knew that behind them happened to be the German Fifth Panzer Division resting......"

"Huh? Then the Germans' Fifth Panzer Division had to pounce and fight with General de Gaulle? Bruce said in surprise with his mouth wide open.

"That's for sure, the Germans will watch General de Gaulle eat one of their own infantry regiments?" Philip cleared his throat as he spoke, "Seeing that General de Gaulle's tank was about to crush the infantry regiment, the German Fifth Panzer Division immediately stopped resting, and more than 300 tanks rushed over according to General de Gaulle and the Fourth Panzer Division. The battle was fought in the dark, and the two sides were pinched from morning until evening before they separated and retreated. ”

"The result?" Bruce asked curiously.

"The result? You know the results. Bruce sighed, "A whole armored division has been wiped out like this, there are more than 350 tanks in two armored regiments, and less than 100 tanks have been withdrawn in the end......"

"What about the Germans? Their 5th Panzer Division must have suffered heavy losses as well, right? ”

"German? Hehe, you don't know how good the Germans' tanks are......" Bruce shook his head, "They only lost more than 90 tanks in one battle...... But then again, the defeat of more than 90 German tanks in World War I is definitely a big victory, after all, how many tanks have they lost since the start of the war? Without these 90 tanks, it should be impossible for the Fifth Panzer Division to launch an offensive in a short period of time, and the German FΓΌhrer will probably let them stay where they are and wait for the replenishment of reserve equipment. ”

"What a trump card for us!" Bruce said in admiration.

Suddenly, a question came to him: "Huh? Why do you know so clearly? ”

"The armored soldiers next door told me, didn't you notice that there are a lot of extra armored soldiers in our defense area?"

"I found it...... But how do they know? ”

"Because they're from the 4th Panzer Division!" Philip snapped his nose, "You don't think General de Gaulle is here alone, do you?" Let me tell you, all the remaining tanks of the 4th Panzer Division have been brought by the general to strengthen our defensive line! ”

"I said how could there be so many tanks all of a sudden, it turned out to be the Fourth Armored Division, no wonder!" Bruce suddenly realized.

"What are you two talking nonsense?! Want to be lazy? Just as the two were chatting, the squad leader's voice suddenly appeared beside the two, "Hurry up and find me more branches!" ”

"Huh? Squad leader, do you still want branches? Bruce pouted, pointing to the anti-tank guns that had been surrounded by branches and leaves, and said, "That's enough, isn't it?" The German tank crews certainly couldn't see it! ”

"The German tank crews are invisible, but what about the German planes? The Germans are coming over and you are lying on your stomach as a camouflage? The squad leader waved his hand impatiently, "If you want to go, why do you talk so much nonsense?" ”

"Alright......" Bruce and Philip pouted, reluctantly jumping out of position and walking towards the thicker woods in the distance.

After walking for about ten minutes, Bruce stopped first.

"That's it, and we'll be by the river." Bruce said.

Philip stopped, looked around, and said, "Okay, then here!" ”

After saying that, he found a tree of the right height and climbed it up.

After securing himself in the tree, he pulled out a sapper shovel from his back and slashed at the surrounding branches.

It didn't take long for the ground to be covered with branches that Bruce had cut down.

"That's enough, right?" Bruce glanced at the ground and asked Philip.

"It should be enough, how much can you want to cover the cannon?" Philip replied as he crouched on the ground picking at the right size branches.

Hearing this, Bruce put away the armory shovel and quickly climbed down holding on to the tree trunk.

Soon, Philip picked out two large piles of branches, tied them with ropes, and each of them carried one bundle to return to the position.

Just then, a subtle voice caught the attention of Bruce, who had always had a keen ear.

"Why do I seem to hear something?" Bruce stopped and said with a frown.

Philip also stopped when he heard this, and after listening carefully for a while, Philip wondered, "What's the sound of?" I said you kid was trying to scare me, right? ”

"Did I hear it wrong?" Bruce scratched his head, "Forget it, let's keep walking." ”

With that, Bruce walked forward.

Philip shrugged, intending to lift his heels as well

Suddenly, the voice reappeared. And this time, both of them heard it!

"Hell, I heard it again! This time I'm sure I heard it right! Bruce threw down what he was carrying and said to Philip firmly.

"Don't say it, I heard it too, it seemed like some animal was behind us, and I heard them trampling on the branches." Philip also put down the stuck branch in his hand and said.

"Deer? Or a wild boar? Bruce licked the corners of his mouth, "Why don't we go back and do it?" I haven't eaten fresh meat in days......"

Philip pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then let out a calm voice: "it!" ”

After saying that, the two of them hid the trapped branches, untied the rifle from behind and quietly touched it back with a smile.

The further back they went, the more clearly the two of them could hear the "squeak" squeak.

In order not to startle the snake, the two found a gentle slope before the prey appeared, and lay behind a large rock on the top of the gentle slope.

"It seems that there is more than one movement!" Listening to the "squeak" sound getting closer and closer, Philip swallowed two large mouthfuls of saliva, lowered his voice and said excitedly to Bruce beside him.
