As the political, economic, cultural and commercial center of France, Paris is not as important as Lille or Nancy in terms of transportation, but it still bears the heavy responsibility of transportation in the northern region.

Therefore, the roads leading from Paris to other cities are almost of the highest standard, but it is such a good road, and Juan is full of fire.

Because there were so many routs on the front line, they crowded almost every road, and although Juan and his troops had many trucks, they drove as slowly as a turtle on such roads.

"Get out to the side of the road! Idiot! Juan stood up with the jeep's roll cage and yelled at the slow-walking routs, "You can't beat the Germans, so don't stop us from going to the front!" ”

The routs who were walking with their heads down only silently glanced up at Juan in the jeep, and then lowered their heads again and walked on their own, only ducking to the side of the road when they were about to be hit by a car.

"A group of beaten soulless, this way lost because they ......" Seeing that his roar didn't work at all, Zhu An couldn't help but shake his head, and sat back in his seat while complaining.

"Our main forces have long been lost on the border, these are second-line and even third-line troops, and it is normal to fight like this." The chief of staff sitting next to Zhu An comforted, "However, the combat effectiveness of the German army is really strong, and their front-line troops have not taken turns to rest after the war has been going on for so long, and the edge of the attack has not diminished at all." In all my years in the army, it is really the first time I have seen such a tenacious army. ”

"No matter how tenacious their army is, it is made of meat, and a bullet can still make a hole when it hits! Last time I suffered the loss of their tanks, and this time I went to Romiy, and their tanks couldn't play a tenth of the effect in the field! Juan snorted, "I don't believe that Germany has become invincible with that Lyon?" ”

"Oh, hopefully." The chief of staff smiled reluctantly.

He and Juan were not old partners, he was originally the chief of staff of the French 7th Infantry Corps stationed on the Maginot Line, and after the battle broke out, he was ordered to lead two divisions of the 7th Infantry Corps north to the Franco-Belgian border to support the Allied forces.

In order to avoid encounters with the Germans during the march, he proposed several times to Gammelin, who was then the supreme commander of the French army, to stop the march and defend on the spot, but due to the empty flanks of the Allied forces and the fact that the first armored group of the German high-speed assault could encircle the Allied forces at any time, Gammelin rejected his proposal several times in a row, and also asked him to properly abandon some baggage to speed up as much as possible.

Eventually, what he feared came true, and four days after leaving the Maginot Line, two divisions of his team ran straight into an entire German infantry division.

This German infantry division was also frightened enough in the face of the French troops that suddenly burst out, their original task was not to attack, but to go deep along the opening of the first armored cluster, and to contain the French prisoners who were scattered along the way, but they didn't expect to suddenly collide with two complete French divisions, until the battle broke out, the German division commander was still confused.

However, the German soldiers were not at all light-hearted, and they quickly showed a very high combat quality when they were the first to react, and the infantry regiments quickly occupied the surrounding heights, and the divisional artillery units immediately untied the towed artillery from the trucks, and after deploying the gun mounts, they shelled the French troops in dense formations on the spot.

After being beaten hard, the French also knew what they had hit, and they were also the first class of the French army to be stationed on the Maginot Line for many years, and quickly broke up and used their numerical superiority to launch a counterattack against the Germans.

The battle soon came to a fever pitch, with tens of thousands of people fighting bloody battles in the wilderness.

The battle lasted all day, and the French struggled to withdraw from the battlefield when German reinforcements arrived and ground support attack planes with iron crosses buzzed in the sky.

After the battle, it was found that although the French army had inflicted heavy losses on the German infantry division in a full day of fighting, killing and wounding more than 2,500 of them, they had paid twice the price!

It is not difficult to find that the general belief among the Allies that "the Germans are stronger than their armored forces" is completely wrong, and their infantry is no worse than the excellent German armored forces!

Therefore, he was not optimistic about Juan's plan to "save face" in Romiyi, and to be honest, he was even worried that Juan would make a fatal mistake in command because of his strong desire for revenge.

In the slow march, the originally high sun gradually slipped to the horizon in the distance, and Zhu An raised his hand to look at his watch, and the hour hand was already pointing at the scale "5".

"Stop, cooks prepare dinner." Juan patted the driver on the shoulder and motioned for him to stop, and then ordered the herald, "Let's take a break, after dinner, we will continue to march, and we must rush to the outskirts of Romiyi before dawn." ”

The herald saluted Zhu An, and then ran to the truck where the division headquarters communications office was located to convey the division commander's order.

After the order was given, the advancing troops quickly stopped, and one by one the soldiers skillfully jumped out of the trucks and gathered in shifts on the side of the road.

Dinner was not sumptuous, the cooks just made some mashed potatoes, some simple vegetables, and some hot soup, and as for the meat, it was mainly canned meat that the soldiers carried themselves.

It didn't take long for the food to be distributed to the various squads, and the soldiers were full of thoughts as they ate the steaming food while watching the sky gradually darken.

Most of the infantry divisions were stragglers who had broken down from the front, but a large number were still fresh recruits who had never been exposed to combat, who were either scared or excited about the coming tomorrow, but without exception they were full of thoughts.

After the troops stopped for two hours, the sky had completely fallen into darkness, and Zhu An saw that he had rested for two hours, so he gave the order for the troops to advance from the camp.

After hearing the order, the soldiers began to pack up and load their cars in an orderly manner, and hundreds of trucks and motorcycles turned on their headlights, looking like a long queue from the air.

I don't know if it was because the rout was gone during the day or because they all went to sleep at night, but after nightfall, the road widened, and the motorist, with its large number of vehicles, finally showed its due speed, and sped away towards Romiy, which was not far away.

At this speed, the troops could reach Romiyi smoothly in less than four hours, and seeing this, Zhu Anxin was also a lot more relaxed, leaning on the seat and slowly falling asleep.

But before he could fall asleep, an eerie engine sound pulled him back from his dream.

"What sound?" He sat up straight and said in confusion.

The chief of staff was also woken up by this voice, and after listening carefully for a while, he replied in astonishment: "Okay, it seems to be an airplane?!" ”
