After the 1st Huaxia Division took Ashford with almost no single shot except for the rocket artillery battalion directly under it, Kirsch seems to have found an offensive routine that is unique to the 1st Huaxia Division, and can guarantee absolute safety. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So, the troops almost only rested at Ashford, reported the results of the battle to the command, told the other troops to take over the anti-aircraft guns that could arm an entire anti-aircraft battalion, and immediately gave the order to attack.

Without any worries, the 1st Huaxia Division was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, and at 8 o'clock in the morning the troops took the village of Charing in the same way, and then took Lenham before lunch, and the troops were already approaching the military stronghold of Maidstone.

At this time, the 7th Armored Division, which was supposed to go hand in hand with the 1st Huaxia Division according to the plan, had just taken Canterbury.

"The troops stopped and rested, the units checked the condition of the equipment, and in the afternoon we were going to attack Maidstone, which was not like anywhere we had attacked before, where there was a British division stationed according to intelligence, and they had an unknown number of tanks, so we had to be careful."

Speaking of caution, in fact, Kirsch had already begun to fantasize about the spectacular scene of forcibly blowing up Maidstone into ruins with 150mm rocket artillery, and the 1st Armored Brigade, which was supposed to be responsible for the main offensive mission, was completely furnished at this time, and there seemed to be nothing to do except be responsible for the occupation.

It's just that although Kirsch's idea is good, the movement of rocket artillery to wash the ground is too big, although it is only a morning, but the offensive means of the 1st Huaxia Division have already spread throughout the British Army.

Just when all the British troops were helpless against the unreasonable and barbaric methods of the 1st Chinese Division, a soldier who did not belong to the British military suddenly stood up, and he was Charles de Gaulle, the leader of the free French government-in-exile.

A French general sentenced to death in absentia by the Vichy French government, a Frenchman in exile in England.

De Gaulle did not raise a large army in England, and now he had only more than 1,000 infantry under his command, but this did not prevent de Gaulle from having a brilliant eye and keen insight into the success of the battle.

Through a pitiful amount of information, De Gaulle already had a clear judgment on this unit, first of all, De Gaulle was sure that the commander of the 1st Huaxia Division must be a very cautious person and would not easily let his armored troops charge, and secondly, his rocket artillery unit must have a very limited range, and the preparation time for launch is very long, the amount of rockets projected each time is not very large, and there is a long time interval to load in the middle!

It can be said that de Gaulle's judgment was very accurate, and it was precisely with de Gaulle's judgment that the British military finally had enough confidence for the first time to defeat the elite troops of the German army, and a series of transfers against the 1st Division of China were quietly underway.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, after making contact with the 7th Panzer Division of friendly forces, and having determined that the 7th Panzer Division had begun an offensive towards Faversham, Kirsch finally gave the order for an all-out attack on Maidstone.

Under the cover of a large number of Luftwaffe bombers, the 1st Huaxia Division set out from Lenham and went straight to Maidstone, 20 kilometers away.

Due to the skilful cooperation of the previous division, the 1st Huaxia Division hardly had any delay on the way, and it only took half an hour to arrive at the village of Beltad, which was only 5 kilometers away from Maidstone.

Upon arrival at the village, which had been abandoned by the British, the rocket artillery battalion immediately began to construct firing positions and sent artillery observers to identify the main military targets in order to carry out more accurate fire strikes.

Maidstone is different from the small villages and towns that were directly smashed with rocket artillery before, this is a relatively large city in the UK, obviously only with a battalion of only 50 rocket artillery is not enough to achieve the purpose of complete destruction, moreover, there are still a lot of civilians living in the urban area of Maidstone, as well as hospital stations and other facilities, if Maidstone is shelled indiscriminately at this time, then Germany will face a great political and diplomatic dilemma.

Soon, the artillery observers were the first to identify a British barracks, but it seemed that not many soldiers were found in that barracks, but since the target had been found, there was naturally no need to wait any longer!

With Weidenfeller's order, 50 rocket launchers fired a salvo, and in an instant, the British barracks that were found were in ruins, but because of the proper command, the artillery fire did not constitute a direct impact on the surrounding houses.

The Air Force bombing of Maidstone was also going on at the same time, and the whole city of Maidstone was filled with smoke and smoke, explosions and screams everywhere, and residents shivered in basements or bomb shelters they had built, not daring to go to the ground to see what was happening.

"Advance one kilometer, search for any potentially threatening targets within six kilometers, and let the rocket artillery smash me!"

Licking his chapped lips excitedly, Kirsch pushed forward step by step, which sounded slow, but in fact it was much faster than a direct attack, so that there would be no entanglement with the enemy at all, and it was safe and fast.

After destroying another discovered British barracks, there were finally no large-scale British targets to offer to Weidenfeller as targets, and the 1st Huaxia Division was only two kilometers away from the city of Maidstone.

"The three battalions of the 1st Tank Brigade 1st Regiment stayed behind to protect the rocket artillery battalion directly under them, and the other units began to attack the city of Maidstone, and the various vehicle groups should pay attention to maintaining contact at all times, and destroy any suspicious targets as soon as possible, and if the enemy armored targets are found, call nearby vehicle groups for support as much as possible, and do not fight alone."

Although Kirsch fought very well, when he really needed troops to attack, he was still very cautious in his orders, he needed to ensure absolute safety, and everything was based on the premise of reducing casualties.

However, this is how his orders were given, but it is difficult to say whether his soldiers will obey them in this way.

For example, Wang Zhandong at the front!

As the company commander of a tank company, his troops could only watch the people of the rocket artillery battalion open fire, and then go to clean up the battlefield, Wang Zhandong was already aggrieved to death.

When he finally heard the order to attack, he immediately commanded his tank to rush out with one acceleration!
