The battle was unexpectedly fought not in the Ardennes or in the Netherlands, but in the Maginot Line.

The US 1st Army and the 3rd Army set out from Paris and built roads and bridges all the way to approach the "Maginot Line," and then launched bombing and attacking the "Maginot Line" without saying a word.

The scale and intensity of the bombing were not small, and hundreds of bombers and fighters flew over the line every day, and then B17 bombers also arrived from Britain and dropped bombs all over the "Maginot Line".

(Note: At this time, because the ammunition supply still needed to be transported from England in large quantities, although the Allies had already built large airfields in France, it was obviously more cost-effective for bombers to take off from England, because there was no need to transport bombs to France and from France to the front.) ）

"They're playing the same trick again!" Rommel said: "The British, always trying to deceive us into thinking that the Allies are attacking in other directions!" ”

Rundstedt did not speak, his expression was a little embarrassed, because he had been deceived by the British last time, and he was convinced.

Perhaps finding that his words were not suitable, Rommel asked Rundstedt: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I don't think we should expose ME163 prematurely, what do you think?" ”

"Yes!" Rundstein nodded and said, "Totally agree!" ”

Now it is just a feint attack by the US military, and of course it is not suitable to sacrifice a weapon of mass destruction.

Rommel set his sights on Lieutenant General Lu Manlin...... These are in the charge of Lieutenant General Lu Manlin.

This is not to say how wise Lieutenant General Lu Manlin was, but that some of the technical things on the "Maginot Line" had to be trained for a period of time before they became familiar with it, and the German soldiers who had just withdrawn to the "Maginot Line" were certainly not suitable for operation, and the ME163 silo was one of them.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief!" Lieutenant General Lu Manlin, who had always been in a state of euphoria, replied with some disappointment on his face, because he had long wanted to see what the ME163 would look like when he shot down the enemy plane.

However, the fact is that when ME163 was actually put into actual combat, Lieutenant General Lu Manlin did not see it, because he did not dare to go out of the underground business or even observe in the ground bunker.

Obviously, the real war was a little different from what he had imagined.

The Allied bombardment, of course, had little effect...... You must know that this is the "Maginot Line", and the reinforced concrete on the top of some fortifications is 3.5 meters thick, which is designed to defend against German aircraft and artillery bombardment, and at this time it is just bombed by the Allies.

Therefore, the outside exploded with fireworks, lightning and thunder, and the German soldiers hiding inside stood still.

Needless to say, several feints launched by the two US armies were fired back by the machine guns and artillery of the German defenders in a few blows.

The feint force was the U.S. military, so of course Montgomery was not distressed, so he still urged the U.S. military to continue the feint again and again.

This approach made General Patton angry: "This hateful Englishman, as long as he is not blind, will see that this guy has selfish intentions!" ”

General Patton said so, but he was helpless...... He is only the commander of the army group, and he must obey the orders of his superiors, otherwise he may not even have to fight, just like he used to perform deception missions in the "Fortitude Plan" to give speeches, hang out, and swagger everywhere.

There is no need for Qin Chuan and others to worry about this, because the 1st Armored Division has already been transferred to the Netherlands.

The fighters of the 21st Panzer Division in the Netherlands received an unexpected surprise...... 20 "Tiger" tanks and 60 brand-new "Leopard" tanks, plus 80 "No. 4" tanks, a large number of cars, side three-wheelers, etc.

These equipment couldn't help but make the soldiers overjoyed, especially the soldiers of the armored division, who couldn't even close their mouths with a smile.

"This is what General Rommel fought for us!" General Stryk said, "But General Rommel says it's not his work!" ”

"Not to his credit?" Colonel Slain was puzzled.

"Yes!" General Stryck said: "Equipment like this, especially the 'Tiger' and so many 'Leopards', is generally only matched by SS heavy armoured divisions, the Wehrmacht...... At least wait! ”

After a pause, General Stryk continued: "We can get them because we are the 21st Panzer Division, understand?" The unique 21st Panzer Division! ”

Colonel Slain nodded, a proud smile on his face.

"I think there's another reason!" Qin Chuan said.

"What?"

"We are defending the Ruhr industrial area!" Qin Chuan replied: "If the tanks they produce are not equipped with us and let us try our best to win the battle, they will only be left to the enemy!" ”

The smile on Colonel Slain's face couldn't help but freeze: "This may be the real reason!" Otherwise it would have been the SS who got them! ”

General Stryk quipped, "You shouldn't say it, Lieutenant Colonel!" ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

"General!" Colonel Orbuch, who had just received the tank, ran over with excitement on his face.

"Colonel!" General Stryk asked: "Are you still satisfied with the new equipment you receive?" ”

"Of course!" Colonel Albridge replied: "Very satisfied! ”

After a pause, Colonel Albridge added, "But I don't know whether to say it or not, General!" ”

"What?"

"This batch of equipment doesn't seem to be suitable for fighting here!" Colonel Albridge said hesitantly, "Didn't they take that into account?" ”

Apparently, Colonel Albridge was worried that the equipment would be recycled by his superiors.

But he was right, and the reason is the same as before...... The Netherlands is a country with a very low average altitude, and it is full of wetlands, and it is a nightmare for armored troops, especially tanks weighing 56 tons, to fight here.

"Don't worry, Colonel!" General Stryk comforted: "They obviously took this into account as well!" ”

"Then why did they ......"

"Because we know where they're going to attack!" General Stryker said: "They are attacking bridges, road intersections, and high ground on both sides of the road!" At the same time, we have to deal with paratroopers, who do not have heavy weapons......"

Colonel Albridge couldn't help but let out an "oh": "So we just need to deploy our tanks in these places and wait for them!" ”

"Yes!" General Stryk nodded: "Of course, you can't let them find out, you have to camouflage the tank, understand?" ”

"Understood, General!" Colonel Albridge replied excitedly.

"Plus!" General Stryker added: "We also need to organize a few mechanized troops that can strike when the time is right!" ”

General Stryker's arrangement was reasonable, and now, it seems, all they have to do is wait for them to fall from the sky.
