The German Army Group C suddenly deployed its troops on a wide defensive line, so that the commander-in-chief of the Entente forces, Ferdinand? Marshal Foch was unexpected, and the overstretched defense gave him a great headache. Without the cooperation of superfluous mobile weapons, it is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to attack, and he can only seek stability in the center in the strategy of not moving the enemy and defending us, not to mention that this is the closest route to Paris, and he cannot be negligent in the slightest.

Ferdinand? Field Marshal Foch began to hesitate about the situation in the north and south theaters, which bought precious time for the German tank and panzer offensive on the southern front. The French Infantry Army, which had just entered the territory of Germany, quickly retreated, and Erwin? General Rommel immediately commanded the B502 Tank Battalion II tanks to break through to the French Verdun Line. Manstein's 1st Panzer Division and the 1st Brigade of the D Army Infantry advanced to the perimeter to further expand the victory.

The B022 tank, which rushed to the front, took the lead, and the French army, which had no time to escape, was constantly attacked and crushed by it, and the entire Verdun line almost became a one-man show for the German tank forces. Foch had no choice but to agree to the defenders' temporary retreat into the city. At this point, the German army successfully recaptured the border position between Germany and France, and took down the Verdun defense line that the French army prided itself as impregnable.

At the front of the two armies, the German B502 Tank Battalion and the 1st Panzer Division were quickly scattered across the vast field behind the snow as they pursued the French, and by the time night fell, the B022 tanks had completely detached themselves from the main force. Captain Benjamin? Sergeant Major Sheridan, the latest batch of tank training base cadets, is a young man, but he still has a shrewd and capable personality.

It is dangerous to ride a bicycle into an unfamiliar area, and Sheridan has heard the instructor say it many times during his studies, so he immediately ordered the driver Toby? Corporal Raleigh looked for a sheltered place to park and stood by on the spot.

As the sky gradually darkened, the crew members finished their dinner as fast as they could, and then carried out battlefield emergency response. "Brothers, as a commander, I am honored to tell you that we are the heroic B022 crew, and we remember the teachings of Mr. President and teach those proud French people a hard lesson. Now we don't know where the big forces are, maybe they have the same problems as us, but this does not prevent us from continuing to fight, I would say, from now on we must fight on our own wits until the mission of this strike is completed. ”

Gunner Ralph? Corporal Craigie asked, "Sergeant Major, what should we do next, the instructor did say that without the cooperation of the group, it is very dangerous for a single bike to break in, so should we drive back now?" ”

Sheridan smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry about Craigie, now, I order, Tobias?" Sergeant Priestley was in charge of getting in touch with the command, and Yalvis? Sergeant Laurie is in charge of conducting careful reconnaissance of the surroundings, you and me. He pointed at the gunner Ralph? "The two of us were responsible for camouflaging the tanks," Craigie said. Okay brothers, take your own responsibility, act! ”

Verdun is a small city with a population of less than 20,000, but it is an important fortress of the southern defense line and a transportation choke point to Paris. Foch's plan for reinforcements of U.S. forces in the Northern Theater. The nearby forest made it easy for large troops to set up ambushes, and it also provided cover for tanks and armoured vehicles, and at present, due to the war, most of the town's inhabitants have been relocated, and only Ferdinand remains? Part of Foch's French army.

Two hours later, Laurie, who was in charge of the reconnaissance mission, gave a detailed report on the situation to Sheridan: "The most critical problem now is that the French army has been operating in this town for several years, and the houses and streets are full of fortresses, and if you want to break through, you must have a large number of infantry to cooperate, but there are no lights found in the town, and the French seem to have abandoned this fortress, because they cannot approach it boldly, and the specific situation of the town is still unknown, and that's all." ”

Sheridan was very happy and said: "These circumstances are very important, now that all the crew members are safely gathered, this is a good start, just now Sergeant Priestley has been in contact with the front command, our current mission has a little change, first of all, to station in the town in front, which may have street battles with the French army, listen well, we are not only tank troops, but also light infantry, we must destroy the remnants of the enemy in the town, and split a temporary supply base for our follow-up troops, okay, It takes a concerted effort! ”

Driver Toby? Corporal Raleigh asked with an embarrassed face, "Sergeant Major, are you saying we're going to make a move tonight?" ”

"Yes, corporal, General Rommel stressed that we must take this town before the big army arrives, and you must at least make sure that our tanks have enough fuel to drive into the town, otherwise, we will have to stay here and do nothing."

Raleigh spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay sergeant major, there should be no problem driving into the town, but I can't guarantee that the tank will be able to do something else after entering the town." ”

Sheridan gave a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry Raleigh, I know you can do it, but didn't you notice a spare oil drum next to Laurie's ammo box?" That's yours. Alright, the town ahead, let's go! ”

Tank B022 rumbled, crossed the barricades left behind by the retreat of the French army, and headed straight for the direction of the town.

As soon as they entered the town, they encountered a small force of the French army, which was expected, except for Tobias? Priestley, the others were veterans of the battle, and Sheridan signaled everyone not to be nervous: "Remember, we are warriors of the German Federal States!" Craigie, open the hatch quickly, the machine gun next to the turret belongs to you, Raleigh drove slowly, destroyed the fortifications of the French, and covered our assault, listen to me, this is a residential area, whether there are local residents or not, we had better not open fire. Alright, the rest of you will take your charge and get out of the car with me to destroy the enemy. ”

By this time, Craigie's machine gun had begun to fire heavily at the French troops to cover everyone's exit.

After the retreat of the large French army, which had temporarily lost tank reinforcements, about a squad of soldiers stayed behind to set up obstacles and plant explosives, preparing to block the advance of the German tank troops.

The French found that the Germans were alone in a tank, presumably overcharged and disoriented, and decided to use it as a headless fly to eliminate the intruding vehicle without reinforcements.

Toby? Raleigh drove the B022 slowly, Craigie's machine gun roared incessantly next to the turret, and the French could not get closer, so they had to retreat towards the crossroads of the town, Sheridan and two other soldiers moved forward close to the car, while observing the movement of enemy troops on the left and right. The attack went well, and Sheridan was secretly happy. Suddenly, the tank shook violently, and half of the body fell into a trap dug by the French in advance. Raleigh tried to use his own power to get the tank up, but after several attempts, he couldn't do so, and the engine roared with thick black smoke, but he couldn't climb the steep slope on the opposite side.
