Xu Jun sat in the command post and felt that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Hans stepped forward and handed him a cup of coffee. Then he smiled and said, "General, what you said earlier is so good, I am very moved." ”

"yes, I was so excited that I didn't say anything overdone."

"Of course not, I don't think you're scolding those British cowards hard enough. Their actions are intolerable, even to the enemy! They simply do not have the honor of an officer. Mueller said on the side.

"Your Excellency, after listening to your speech, I feel very honored to be your direct subordinate!" Randolph never missed an opportunity to express his loyalty.

Dogen was preempted by his own subordinates again, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a trainee staff officer who rushed in.

"General, the 58th Engineer Battalion and the baggage troops have returned, and they have completely annihilated the remnants of the 151st Brigade of the British Army that fled from the battlefield. The commander of the 151 Brigade, Colonel Glenn, was killed on the spot, and the rest of the personnel surrendered to the 58 Engineer Battalion and the Logistics Baggage Unit. Captain Barnes, commander of the 58th Engineer Battalion, arrived immediately. ”

There was a commotion among the officers when they heard the news.

"Oh. Killed the enemy brigade commander, congratulations, Your Excellency the Deputy Führer" Dogen finally seized this opportunity.

At this time, an officer in his forties walked in, he first looked at the people in the room, and when he saw Xu Jun, he immediately walked up to Xu Jun and stood upright, and reported loudly: "Captain William, commander of the 58th Engineer Battalion." Barnes reports to you, General Reinhardt. ”

"Captain Barnes, you've worked hard, come, hurry up and tell us about the battle."

Barnes gleefully recounted the whole battle. Last night, the 58th Engineer Battalion, on Xu Jun's orders, dug a pit behind the 151st Brigade overnight, and densely laid dozens of mine arrays. Then they set up an ambush at the edge of a minefield.

Xu Jun originally just wanted them to slow down the speed of the British army's escape, and then let the large army destroy those fleeing troops, but what he didn't expect was that the British army was so completely defeated, and only Glenn and a few of his staff officers and a Jingwei company escaped. They rushed straight into the minefield, and then Glenn's car was blown up into the sky by a heavy anti-tank mine. The rest of the men immediately surrendered to the German sappers who were rushing towards them. Barnes then rushed back with the captured and captured vehicles with the logistical baggage troops.

After listening to Barnes's report, Xu Jun was very satisfied with the performance of the 58th Engineer Battalion, he asked Barnes to go down to rest first, handed over the captured materials to the logistics troops for counting, sent the prisoners to the prisoner of war camp, and ordered Barnes to have the engineer battalion immediately prepare to dig a number of graves for the dead soldiers on both sides to bury them. Barnes went down without saying a word, and it seems that this is also a standard professional soldier.

"General, now all the results on our side have been completely counted."

Hans said as he held a file on the side.

"Oh, tell me about it."

"The 6th Infantry Regiment and the 78th Artillery Regiment, with the support of the Air Force, have so far annihilated most of the 151st Infantry Brigade of the opposing side. 2,940 enemy soldiers were killed and 4,540 officers and soldiers were captured, including 127 wounded. 20 tanks and 16 artillery pieces were destroyed. 5,217 enemy rifles, 96 machine guns, 33 mortars, 2 25-pounder infantry guns, 19 tanks, 67 trucks, and 4 small cars were captured. There are countless other logistical supplies. And the 58 engineer battalion in front killed 6 people below Colonel Glenn and captured 128 enemy soldiers. Now I can say that we have completely annihilated the 151st Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Armored Battalion of the British. Their numbers would henceforth disappear from the British Army sequence. Congratulations, General, for your brilliant victory in destroying a British brigade with one regiment. ”

Xu Jun smiled and accepted the congratulations of his subordinates. Then he asked Hans, "How is the 25th Panzer Regiment doing?" ”

"They have already sent a battle report earlier, they have killed more than 2,800 soldiers of the 13th Brigade of the British Army, captured more than 4,300 people, destroyed 34 enemy tanks, and captured all the artillery of the British army. Now the 25 Panzer Regiment is chasing down the remnants of the fleeing enemy forces, which should soon end the battle. The 37th Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion and the 7th Infantry Regiment were already moving closer to us, but they had suffered heavy losses in the two days of fighting, and all the senior officers had been killed, and now the highest commander of the two units was Warrant Officer Sanders, midshipman of the 38th Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion. So I think it's better to wait for Colonel Luxembourg of the 25 Panzer Regiment to come back and report to you personally. ”

"That's fine, but you can show me a report on their battles first." Xu Jun was anxious to know the outcome of his Yin insurance plan.

Hans hurriedly flipped through the pile of documents in his hand, pulled out the report of the 25th Panzer Regiment and handed it to Xu Jun.

After the 25th Armored Regiment and the 7th Infantry Regiment contacted Xu Jun yesterday, they immediately rearranged and rearranged their positions according to Xu Jun's plan. They sent seven of the best and most capable tank crews to receive the seven Matilda II tanks at the location designated by Xu Jun. Then lay the tank in ambush on the side of the battlefield.

Waiting until the next day, Colonel Luxembourg, like Xu Jun, provoked the British 13th Brigade. Just as the 13th Brigade of the British Army launched a retaliatory attack, the seven "Matilda" burst into the battlefield from the side. They put lit paint buckets on the hood of the tank according to Xu Jun's plan, and in this way rushed into the British attack formation with pungent black smoke.

The British had never imagined such a thing to happen, and they mistook those seven tanks as the wounded and escaped tanks of the British 151st Brigade. Just as they were speculating whether the 151st Brigade had been defeated, the seven Matilda II that had been placed in the British offensive formation suddenly attacked. They turned the muzzle of the Matilda II 40 mm two-pounder gun, and at a close distance fired at the tail armor of the eleven Matilda II tanks of the 1st British Tank Battalion, which were charging at the German positions. The 55-mm thick armor could not hold off the attack of the 40-mm guns at such a close range, and all the "Matilda-2" tanks of the 1st Panzer Battalion were completely destroyed in one minute.

Just when the British soldiers were shocked by the fratricidal battle in front of them, the seven tanks had already broken through the core position of the British 13th Brigade with the machine gun bullets of the remaining "Matilda" tanks, crushing the British command headquarters within 5 minutes, and killing all the senior commanders of the 13th Brigade remaining in the command headquarters on the spot. Then the German Army's 25th Panzer Regiment and the 7th Infantry Battalion launched a counterattack on all fronts.

The 13 Brigade of the British Army, having lost its command organs, immediately plunged into chaos. At this time, the Luftwaffe dive bombers entered the battlefield and blew up the British army. As a result, the Germans completely routed the British 13th Brigade in 30 minutes. In the end, only a little more than 100 logisticians escaped from the battlefield, and now Colonel Luxembourg of the 25th Panzer Regiment led his tanks to chase down the fleeing British remnants.

Xu Jun breathed a sigh of relief after reading the report, and it was already a fate for the British 13th Brigade to be completely annihilated. His own wisdom not only brought the 7th Panzer Division back to life, but also created a miracle on the battlefield. It should now be possible to concentrate all on how to deal with the top leadership of the Third Reich.

Xu Jun asked Randolph, "When will the plane that General Rundstedt arranged for me arrive?" ”

Randolph hurriedly replied: "General Rundstedt, after receiving your telegram, immediately arranged for the plane. A telegram was received from Army Group A headquarters that they had taken off and should arrive at us after lunch. Now I'm going to have the 58th Engineer Battalion go and set up the runway at once. ”

"Okay, then I'll take care of it."

"Oh, Major Hans!"

"Yes, General!"

"We're pressed for time right now, you go and get our bags packed and all the paperwork with you right away. We're going to go back to Münster Iifre at once, to the "Cliff Castle". ”
