Wittmann was in a very good mood, as he and his comrades had just taken a vital position, and with only six tanks, they immediately frightened the remaining Belgian garrison.

Because the results were so exaggerated, Guderian even felt incredulous when he received the news. A division of Belgian troops, easily scared away by 6 reconnaissance company tanks ?!

Moreover, the original mission of the six tanks was only to fire on a machine-gun position of the Belgian garrison, and they were not even expected to take that small position.

Wittman: Not only did they exceed their quota, but they exceeded their quota by too much. It took only 6 tanks to defeat a missing division, which was also an unprecedented achievement in military history. If this record is estimated, it seems that it will not be difficult for the 19th Panzer Army under Guderian to completely annihilate the entire Belgian Army.

Because of the outnumbering of the enemy, the Belgian Army not only left only a short infantry division in the Ardennes Forest, but also did not leave too many troops along the handsome and wooded Muse River between the Ardennes and the important city of Sedan.

At the beginning of the war, the main divisions of the Belgian Army were all lost on the central border. Now, if they can't concentrate their numerical superiority, they will be even less likely to hold off any enemy attack. It is a pity that the Belgian king did the opposite, further scattering the troops that were not of high quality and scattering them scattered in various theaters of war.

"The British and the French will not be as unchallenged as the Belgians, otherwise there would be no pressure on this war." In the headquarters of the occupied Belgian garrison division, Guderian laughed conceitedly.

Although the Belgian troops were not very forbidden to fight, the headquarters they left behind at the Arden Pass was quite well built. All the facilities are readily available, and the fortifications around the headquarters are also built in a decent manner. And because the Belgian division headquarters fled without a fight, it did not suffer much damage at all, and it can continue to be used.

So, Guderian and his military headquarters of the 19th Army took a fancy to this place at a glance and moved the front-line command post over.

"I would have liked the British and French armies to be as well packed as the Belgian ones," said Guderian's adjutant with a smile. ”

The adjutant's words instantly resonated. In the front-line headquarters, there was a sudden burst of laughter on behalf of the agreement.

Who doesn't want the war to be fought a little easier and won smoothly once it was won. The 19th Army went all the way over the mountains and through the Ardennes Mountains, in order to finally reduce the operational pressure through surprise attacks. Fortunately, they have gone all the way. The first battle was also a complete victory.

"Don't worry, they won't be too difficult to deal with." Guderian smiled: "I have received news that Army Group B under the command of Admiral Bock in the middle has broken through the defense line of the French Ninth Army and the Second Army and is advancing towards the English Channel, I believe that the group of British people on the other side of the channel should be dizzy by now." ”

...........

"I have nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat for everyone. You ask: What is our purpose? I can answer in one word: victory, fight for victory at all costs, no matter how terrible, no matter how far and difficult the road is, fight for victory, because without victory you can't survive! ”

At the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, Churchill attended and spoke for the first time as Prime Minister.

In fact, at 6 p.m. on May 10, 1940, when the German army launched the attack, King George VI of Britain summoned Churchill and ordered him to form a cabinet. An hour later, at 7 p.m., Churchill met with Labour leader Attlee and invited Labour to join the cabinet and gain support.

And on May 12, 1940, that is, today, after Churchill's speech, the British House of Commons finally showed its support for Churchill's government by an absolute majority of 381 votes to 0.

The British Empire, a superpower known as the empire on which the sun never sets, will follow in the footsteps of Churchill from today and step seriously into the abyss of war until victory or destruction!

"We must realize that without victory there would be no British Empire, without victory there would be nothing that the British Empire symbolized, and without victory there would be no more of the strong demands and impulses of the Empire on which the sun never sets for centuries." As the meeting drew to a close, Churchill shook his fists and shouted loudly in his provocative tone.

It has to be said that Churchill deserves to be a great master of speech. At his instigation, the people who were ready to leave the table once again stood in their places.

"Long live the British Empire!" A middle-aged MP also followed Churchill's rhythm, waving his fist and shouting.

"Long live the British Empire, long live the empire on which the sun never sets!" The other councillors shouted along.

This is the essence of a superpower! Even though the Germans now seemed to have the upper hand, the British still had a lot to offer.

How many years have they ruled and controlled the situation on the European continent can they be compared to an upstart like Germany, who did not even win the First World War?!

For more than 500 years, with the exception of the North American Revolutionary War (voluntary withdrawal), the British army has always been the victorious side, and it has the longest winning rate in the world. At its peak, Britain dominated one-quarter of the world with one-thousandth of the world's land area.

Hundreds of years of undefeated war history have left behind not only glory and self-confidence, but also the uninterrupted development of science and technology, which has reached more and more overseas colonies. All this is what Germany wants to have but cannot have!

Churchill waved his hand contentedly as he walked down the stairs with his big belly and left.

"The will of the country has been successfully directed to the war," Churchill whispered to an Air Major liaison officer beside him as he came around a corner, "and let Admiral Dowding of the Fighter Command immediately mobilize three more squadrons of Hurricane fighters to support the French." ”

This was the first time that Britain had sent a large number of fighters to support the French operation, and until then, direct British support had been limited to 10 divisions of the Army Expeditionary Force.

Hearing that the air force was also about to contribute to the French campaign, the major liaison officer asked inquiringly: "Mr. Prime Minister, our air force is an important defense force of Britain, and it is against the principle that the French army will not affect the British Empire's own defense strength." ”

Waving his hand, Churchill said indifferently: "The French have the best army in the world, and now that our British Empire has lent them part of the strongest air force in the world, won't the war be won?" If our coalition can win this battle against Germany, what defense will we need? ”
