Chapter 346: Tank Meets Battleship

Rengelheimer is directing tank patrols in the port of Pronay, and in his hand is holding a copy of the latest social work newspaper, "The Supreme High Command Takes Over as the Supreme Command Organization of the Three Services".

In the social worker's newspaper, Rengelheimer learned that a group of weak-willed Junkers officers had received large bribes from British spies in an attempt to obstruct the pursuit of the Anglo-French forces by the front-line troops.

Judging by the "stop the advance" order received by the front-line troops earlier, the plan of these Junker traitors was almost successful. Guderian's armored forces were abruptly halted, allowing the Anglo-French rout to have a brief respite of a day or so.

Fortunately, however, the Führer had already mobilized the garrison of Berlin overnight, as well as the officers and men of the SS Führer's division, to exterminate this small group of black sheep. According to newspaper reports, 13 families of Junker aristocratic background were liquidated by the SS. All their property was confiscated and state-owned, and their children were sent to labor camps in Poland to undergo re-education through labor.

The newspaper also said that the former commander-in-chief of the army, because he had been deceived by traitors and felt ashamed of the country, voluntarily stepped down from his post as commander-in-chief of the army and took over as chief of the army's general staff.

The original Chief of the General Staff of the Army, Manstein, was temporarily appointed as the commander of an armored corps under construction.

Until the new Panzer Corps is formed, Manstein will remain in the Army General Staff to assist in the handover of the work to Bollusch.

In the rest of the newspaper, there are a lot of eulogies praising the dollar's quick decision and wisdom, all nonsense, and Rengoheimer doesn't bother to read it.

Putting away the newspaper, he opened the top cover of the tank, took out his binoculars and looked at the sea, ready to distract himself from his somewhat chaotic thoughts.

Rungelheimer didn't know how much of what the social worker newspaper said was real and how much was fictional. Of course, these are not issues that an officer of his level needs to worry about considering.

However, from this newspaper he can at least confirm one thing, that is, the armored forces are going to continue their advance. This halted torrent of steel will soon be back on its way!

He also wants to find a chance to take a commemorative photo at the Eiffel Tower in Paris! Perhaps, I will have the opportunity to appear on the publicity page of the social work newspaper because this photo is too handsome........

"Company commander?" The tank driver's voice pulled Rengoheimer back from his fantasy: "You shouldn't be in a daze, are you?" We're still on patrol, so we should be on guard. ”

".........." Rengelheimer, who had been educated by his subordinates, put down the binoculars, turned his head and said loudly: "I still need your reminder, of course I know that I should be vigilant." I'm testing you to see if you can spot me pretending to be in a daze. ”

"This ........" The driver was speechless by the brazenness of Rengoheimer, the company commander and commander.

With such a chief, what else can he say?!

"Ahem" After coughing dryly, Rengeheimer picked up the telescope again and looked into the distance: "Okay, you guys have done a good job and passed my test." It's not in vain that we deliberately pretend to be in a daze to test you. ”

Hearing that Rungoheimer was still talking serious nonsense, several crew members couldn't laugh or cry, so they simply didn't bother to talk to him, and kept silent in unison.

"None of you speak........" Rengoheimer, who found this: "It's embarrassing." ”

Still no one paid attention to him.

"Okay, okay, you guys won. I'll admit that I did accidentally ........ just now" Rengelheimer finally couldn't help but be deflated, ready to admit that he was in a daze when patrolling.

However, before he could speak, a surprising discovery caused Rungoheimer to stop chatting.

"British battleship!" Rungerheimer suddenly roared hoarsely.

British battleships?! The other three were still relaxed, waiting to see the Renguelheimer joke, and the crew members who listened to him pull down their faces and admit their mistakes were suddenly frightened by the roar of the car commander.

When a tank meets a battleship, in terms of tonnage, it is equivalent to a snail meeting a scalper, and others can trample on it with one foot!

"They didn't notice us, so why don't I turn around and ........ back," the driver reminded Rengelheimer again. He didn't want the commander to be in a daze again at such a time, and it would be a big fuss if he delayed the escape time.

"No!" Renguelheimer was not in a daze this time, but reacted quickly and firmly ordered: "Taking advantage of the night, we have now entered the range where the two sides can shoot at each other, and for us with a shorter range, this is an opportunity!" And if they find us on the way out, we may still be in their range, but they will be out of our range. At that point, we really didn't have a chance. ”

This guy, he's not going to ask us to shoot at the British battleships, is he?! The gunner in the Rengelheimer crew thought in surprise.

"Let's shoot at this battleship!" The lengelheimer with the telescope shouted coaxingly: "I can see clearly, it is the rice flag, the British warship." Can't let it run away! ”

What are you afraid of, we are a tank, why do we still have the ability not to let someone else's warship run away?!

If someone else can let us run away, thank God!

The three crew members looked at Rengelheimer in amazement. They want to figure out that their captain doesn't read the encouraging propaganda of the social worker newspaper every day and look stupid, right?!

The heroic deeds advertised in the social worker newspaper almost depicted the German army as the reincarnation of supermen.

These propaganda deeds are okay to fool civilians who have never been on the battlefield, but if you let the soldiers who have experienced the cruelty of the battlefield look at it, it is a lot of slots.

Let's not talk about what I saw before, will the Poles "really be stupid enough to cut tanks with cavalry"?

Let's just say that I saw that report a few days ago, why did the social worker newspaper always say that the French Foreign Legion was the most legitimate unit in the entire French army?

I remember that the reason stated in the comments at that time was that the foreign legions, which should be French, were all made up of foreigners, so they generally did not surrender. If the French were involved, it is estimated that they would have surrendered with two shots.

Although the French surrendered quickly, they did not get to the point of surrendering with two shots. If it had been that easy to fight, wouldn't they have gone to Paris by now?

"Company commander...... Is it really going to be fired? The gunner of Rengelheimer couldn't help but say more: "Once we open fire and are exposed, it will be too late to escape." ”

"Run? Why should we run away?" Rengoheimer put down the binoculars, sat back down in the tank, closed the lid and said, "Didn't you open the previous issues of the social work newspaper?" Our planes have made headlines by sinking British battleships in Norway. If we can sink one today, we should be the first tank crew to sink a battleship, and we will also be able to make the headlines of the social worker newspaper! ”

It's over, the captain is really stupid to read the social worker's report.

Whoever makes him a chief, go crazy with him.

Besides, if it succeeds, it seems to be a very exciting and proud thing.
