At dawn on 2 May, before the sun had risen, the mist had begun to envelop the Ardennes Forest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The vanguard of German Army Group A had another twenty kilometers to drive out of the Ardennes Forest, however, their logistical baggage forces were still in Germany at this time, and even some units had not yet entered the Ardennes Forest!

This is a huge army that stretches for hundreds of kilometers!

"Inform the cluster command that the 19th Panzer Corps has requested to open communications, and the vanguard is expected to drive out of the forest area within two hours, requesting air support from the army group!"

Guderian stood on top of the tank, looking at the white expanse around him, and could only pray that the fog outside the forest was not too big, and that the air force could give him effective support, and also hoped that the French did not place heavy troops outside the forest, such a force, if ambushed by the enemy, then the next would be disastrous.

The troops were already approaching the edge of the forest, the road was beginning to open up, and the overall pace of movement was greatly accelerated.

"Why did the speed suddenly speed up? Are we almost at the edge of the forest? ”

Opening his sleepy eyes, Li Ling moved his body and slept in the moving tank, which was really a very painful thing.

Unlike Guderian's army, Li Ling, a unit with only one regiment, could not be said to have a huge command organ, let alone a temporary resting place, after returning from Guderian, Li Ling got into his armored command car and slept in his clothes in the bumps, sleeping for six or seven hours.

"Regiment commander, the vanguard is only a dozen kilometers away from driving out of the forest area, and now the road situation has improved, and the speed of the troops' march has increased."

"Give me the intercom, adjust the channel, and I want to speak to the whole group."

Taking over the intercom, Li Ling adjusted his mood slightly.

"Attention of the whole regiment, we are close to the edge of the Ardennes Forest, and there is a possibility of enemy attack at any time in the future, I ask the troops to tighten their formation, check the reliability of their weapons, and be ready to fight at any time!"

"After a day of one. The march of the night, some people may think that this is war, you are wrong! The real war has not yet begun, so I ask you to cheer up immediately and be ready to meet the enemy! In addition, those who should eat hurry up and hurry up, once the battle starts, there will not be so much time for you to eat and drink! ”

Putting down the intercom, Li Ling got out of the command car, and it was white, this fog is really a bit big, but I don't know if there is such a dense fog outside the forest.

"Sir, are we going to fight next?"

Seeing Li Ling get out of the tank, several logistics personnel of the First Armored Division sitting on the body of the command vehicle immediately surrounded Li Ling and began to ask.

These people didn't know Li Ling, and the 1st Panzer Division had only been incorporated into Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps two months before the start of the French campaign, so they naturally didn't know the legend of the 'cursed chariot' in the Polish campaign.

Now Li Ling's tank is completely a forbidden. District, almost as long as the soldiers who have heard about the Polish battle will consciously keep a certain distance from the tank that Li Ling is staying in.

"What, you're scared?"

Li Ling tilted his head and glanced at the soldier who asked him.

"No, how can you be afraid? Sir, I'm excited, it's finally time for a war, and we're going to kill all the French! ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Let the French die!"

......

Seeing a few soldiers waving their fists, Li Ling smiled slightly, these people obviously have not been on the battlefield, maybe, after they have really been on the battlefield, they will not be so excited, only soldiers who have been on the battlefield, only soldiers who have seen life and death, will understand how to keep themselves absolutely calm on the battlefield.

"That's right, it's going to be a war, it's going to be a war with the French army. Why don't you hurry to the front and look for your troops? When the fight starts, my troops will not have time to deal with you, and my troops will still rush to kill the enemy, and if you follow me, then your results will be counted on my head. ”

"Well, thank you, sir, we're leaving!"

As soon as Li Ling said this, several soldiers jumped out of the tank and ran forward quickly, taking advantage of the fact that the speed of the troops' advance was not particularly fast, they still had time to catch up with their troops.

Thundered......

A thunderous sound suddenly passed overhead, followed by more such sounds!

"It's our plane, our plane is coming!"

The sound of such excitement was heard almost throughout the troops, it was the sound of bombers flying at low altitudes, and after receiving the request, Volcbier immediately sent a huge group of planes that had been waiting for him to the back of the Ardennes Forest, their goal was to ensure that the troops of Army Group A could rush out of the forest without any threat, and they wanted to blow up all the enemies who could threaten Army Group A.

As for those airfields, it seems that they had been completely destroyed by the Luftwaffe in other directions a day earlier.

Only 24 hours have passed since the start of the war, and the Luftwaffe has completely won air supremacy, and the air forces of the Netherlands and Belgium together now have only 12 planes left undestroyed, and the French Air Force has lost more than 80 percent of its planes. In addition to the possible support of the RAF, it was no longer possible for enemy aircraft to carry out air strikes on the German troops over the whole of France.

Such a terrifying result was achieved when Förkbier hid more than 2,000 aircraft, and you can imagine the strength of the Luftwaffe now.

At the edge of the Ardennes Forest, a British cavalry division and a Belgian motorized rifle division were hurrying on the march, they were asked by the French commander Ganmorin to occupy Luxembourg, however, they could not have imagined that here they would be wiped out!

The Luftwaffe bombers spotted the two units before they had even flown out of the forest, and the first wave of bombers immediately carpet-bombed the two units, which were only ten kilometers away from Army Group A.

JU-88 medium bombers rained down tons of aerial bombs on the two defenseless units, and their commanders went to heaven to report before they even figured out what was going on.

Guderian, who was staying in the 1st Panzer Division, was still ten kilometers away from these two troops at this time, but he could already clearly feel the shaking of the ground, and the intensity of the bombardment could be imagined!

"Liaison Command, we're going to assault, request to send Stuka to help, cancel the horizontal bombardment, our unit has reached the edge of the forest!"

Army Group A, at this moment, finally broke through the Ardennes Forest, which was considered to be a moat!
