The main Belgian forces assembled in the center were quickly annihilated by Army Group B of General Bock.

The war began with lightning speed and ended in the blink of an eye.

The 10 most elite of the 22 divisions of the Belgian National Army were divided and then annihilated by Army Group B, spearheaded by three armored divisions. The whole process was as simple as a pre-arranged exercise.

The prisoners, with their hands held high, came out of the ruins in a long queue and were escorted by Army Group B infantry to the makeshift prisoner of war camp.

"No communication!" A sergeant with an MP40 submachine gun pointed his muzzle at several Belgian prisoners who were quietly speaking.

The captives immediately shut their mouths in amusement and changed to a submissive appearance.

The sun had just risen overhead, and if it was normal, it was just time for them to start their lunch.

But who would have thought that in one morning, the central front, where the main Belgian forces were concentrated, would collapse like this?!

Those pillboxes, those trenches, those firing points, those machine-gun positions...... The Belgian soldiers seemed to feel that all the defensive preparations they had made before were in vain.

"Boom, boom, boom......" were a couple of tanks, making a heavy noise, rolling along the avenue next to the prisoner queue.

The rubble piled up on both sides of the road was jumping rapidly in the violent shaking of the ground.

The hearts of the Belgian prisoners of war also beat violently.

The army of the Germans, it was terrible. They are like a giant steel roller that can crush any enemy line.

The Belgian Army has no armored forces, and their knowledge of armored forces is at best limited to the armored division of the French allies, which is composed of R-35 light tanks.

Therefore, when the German-made T3 tank, which was much larger than the R-35 light tank, appeared in front of them, these Belgian infantrymen were inevitably timid.

They couldn't figure out how the German Army, which 17 years ago had been pinched by them as soft persimmons in the Ruhr, would now be so terrifying forever.

In less than a day, the Germans defeated the main forces of the Belgian army deployed on the border.

And with the remaining 12 divisions of the Belgian Army, it is impossible to count on the combat effectiveness. If the remaining troops were also concentrated on one front, as the main forces, then the Germans would only need to spend another half a day to destroy the entire Belgian army.

The defeat on the border line was not expected by the Triple Alliance. Not only the Belgian military department, but even the French general Gammerin, who was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, believed that the main Belgian forces assembled on the border line for defense could drag the German army for at least 3 days.

And those 3 days were originally the key time for the deployment of the main force of the coalition counterattack.

Because of Belgium's neutrality, British and French troops had never had the opportunity to enter Belgian territory.

After suffering the loss of troops in the First Battle of Norway and the loss of international face, the British government changed its previous strong attitude and ordered the commander of the expeditionary force, Lord Gott, not to enter Belgian territory without the request of the Belgian government.

In Norway, British troops once landed uninvited on the territory of the Kingdom of Norway. As a result, 2 divisions of the army were completely lost and surrendered to the Germans.

Even the Royal Navy, which has always been full of glory, easily lost a powerful detachment with 3 cruisers and 7 destroyers. Moreover, the captains of three of the destroyers finally chose to surrender like the army.

The violation of the neutral rights and interests of neutral countries has already made the British Empire internationally condemned. And the surrender of both the army and the navy has made the face of the empire that never sets as a superpower lose cleanly!

There is a lesson from the British sending the Norwegian Expeditionary Force, and how dare the British send the French Expeditionary Force to do the same thing. Neutral countries, it is better to invade less.

The French government, on the other hand, has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with Belgium. In addition, the commander-in-chief of the French army, General Gan Molin, wanted to conceal the strategic attempt to counterattack the German army in Belgium, so the French army also deliberately did not send a single soldier to Belgium.

Gammerin wanted to make the Germans think that there were no allied troops on Belgian territory, so that they would later commit the main force to attack Belgium.

After the Germans began to attack, he Ganmalin swung his army eastward to counterattack the main German army that had just broken through the Belgian defense, and caught Germany by surprise. In this way, the end of World War II is basically doomed.

However, the rapid collapse of the Belgian border line exceeded Ganmarin's expectations, and the coalition counterattack force did not have time to deploy calmly.

Not only did it come to the surprise of the French high command, but also to the Belgian military department.

Having some illusions that it would be able to maintain its neutrality, the Belgian government never invited British and French troops to the interior lines.

After all, once that had been done, Belgium would be an ally of Britain and France, and would no longer be a neutral party.

Thinking that Germany might not rashly attack a neutral country, the Kingdom of Belgium took it for granted to maintain its image as a neutral country.

Neither the government nor the military ministry has any opinion on this. It's a big deal, when the German army really fights, then ask the British and French troops to enter. Anyway, the ten most elite divisions in Belgium have been assembled on the border line, and no matter how much they can give the coalition forces a buffer time of several days for deployment.

It is a pity that Belgium's own elite troops, both in terms of weapons and equipment and training level, cannot even match the second-rate infantry divisions of the German army, let alone the first-class armored divisions of the Third Reich.

To exaggerate, the Belgian elite really became defeated after a face-to-face encounter with the German armored forces.

This is not a bad decision. In fact, it was previously believed that with the presence of ten main Belgian divisions, it would be impossible for the Germans to achieve a breakthrough in a very short time. Even if the Germans finally defeated these ten main divisions, it would be at least a few days later.

By that time, the coalition forces would have already deployed the troops in the rear to pull up the strongest counterattack force in an orderly manner.

But no one expected that the 10 main divisions found by searching the entire Belgian Army would be instantly killed by the 3rd Panzer Division of the German Army Group B.

And the counterattack troops that were expected to support the front line in time had not yet received the order to set off at this time.

When they saw the German T3 tanks chopping and strafing soldiers, and the few precious small-caliber anti-tank guns on their side could not even penetrate the opponent's armor, the officers could no longer control their troops.

A strong enemy was in front of him, but reinforcements were far behind, and despair enveloped all the border defenders. Not only the soldiers, but also their front-line commanders lost the courage to resist.

They could only be swept away by the boundless T3 tank group of the German army, but there was not even a single artillery gun on their side that could penetrate these tanks, and they really didn't know how to face the swarming panzer division except to raise their hands and surrender.
