"We should continue to expand the bridgehead, according to the original plan, this range is not enough to ensure the rapid passage of troops through the Meuse, the bridgehead should be expanded at least another 20 kilometers so that all the bridges near Nangnuo can be quickly crossed by the time the army is assembled!"

I look at the farts that have been rubbing non-stop since the moment I appeared. Ewald von Kleist, Guderian couldn't help but laugh, but as soon as this guy came out of the Ardennes Forest, he hurriedly found a motorcycle and rushed to the temporary headquarters that he had just set up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's been a bumpy ride, I'm afraid of Kleist's fart. The stock has already bloomed.

"No, it can't be!"

For Guderian's proposal, Kleist categorically would not agree.

Previously, because of the problem of face, he did not stop Guderian's advance, and almost caused one of his armored divisions to directly collide with the French defenders who were waiting for him, if it wasn't for the support of the air force was too powerful, I am afraid that the entire first armored division would have been reimbursed here.

This is also the reason why I have to come here in a hurry.

It's just that what Kleist didn't expect was that this Guderian was not finished, and at this time he asked to continue to expand the bridgehead!

Now his second armored division has just arrived, and there are only two armored divisions and one armored regiment on the Meuse River, and the logistics baggage troops have not kept up at all.

The entire 'Kleist Panzer Group' is the key to the success of this battle against France, and in this Panzer Group, Guderian's 19th Panzer Army is the most important, and Kleist really does not dare to let Guderian make any risky moves.

"Why? Now that the morale of my troops is high, and the battle on this side is enough to terrify the enemy on this side of the river, now is a good time to expand the results! How could you make me pass up such a great opportunity? ”

"Just because I'm your superior! If you want to fight, there is a chance later! We are in France right now, and we want to fight the whole of France as you like, but can you wait and not rush for a while? Now we can't take any chances! You have to understand the importance of your troops to the overall battle plan! ”

Kleist wanted to stabilize Guderian's heart as much as possible, and at this time it was important to have the entire army group, not just him 19th Panzer Army! It's not about going to lay down a few kilometers of land, it's the whole army and the whole battle situation that matters.

However, Guderian didn't seem to have put his mind on this at all, and the two of them had their own opinions on the grasp of the fighter.

"Kleist, I'm telling you, you're cowardly, you've lost the blood that an Imperial soldier should have!"

Although Guderian's qualifications in the army are not as good as Kleist's, Guderian's prestige is not small, coupled with Guderian's personal temper, Guderian, who has been repeatedly rejected, almost pointed at Kleist's nose and scolded at this moment.

"A soldier should absolutely obey the orders of his superiors! I now order you as a superior, order you, the commander of the 19th Panzer Corps! Your troops are to be stationed here to rest and not attack in any direction until they receive my new orders! ”

"You...... You're just a coward, you're delaying the plane! ”

"Alright, I don't have time to spend here with you, let's carry out the order!"

Throwing down the half-dead Guderian, Kleist didn't want to stay here for a second, and the sound of cold guns and cannons from the other side of the river from time to time made Kleist feel no sense of security in this temporary headquarters only 500 meters away from the river bank, and as the commander of the entire armored group, it was impossible for him to waste time just here with a 19th Panzer Corps.

"Arrange a car for me and send me back!"

“......”

It was not until the early hours of the morning that the 10th Panzer Division rushed to the banks of the Meuse, and the 19th Panzer Army was finally fully assembled.

Although his troops have been assembled, this does not mean that Guderian can expand the bridgehead as he wants or cross the river to assault as written in the battle plan.

The first is that the troops cannot receive air support in the early morning, and the second is that the speed of fuel replenishment is too slow, and at this rate, the whole army will be replenished at least until noon on the 3rd.

There is also the most important problem, the battle of crossing the river to attack the fortified is not something that can be carried out by pure armored troops, and this mode of operation must be coordinated by a large number of infantry, so Guderian and Li Ling must wait for the arrival of the follow-up infantry units before launching an attack on the enemy on the other side of the river.

Beginning with dawn on May 3, more and more troops began to arrive along the Meuse, and the battle to cross the river was about to be in full swing.

With such a large number of German troops on the Meuse River, Gammolein, as the commander of the Anglo-French forces, naturally knew what kind of threat France would be, and he also knew very well that once the German army broke through the defensive line, it would be able to directly enter the French hinterland without any resistance.

Unfortunately, Gammolem had no way at all at this time, even if he could command more than a hundred divisions, in fact, very few of these troops could actually be brought in for reinforcements.

The vast majority of his troops were now deployed on the Maginot Line and in Belgium, with only a handful of troops deployed in other directions.

Now there are only two options before Ganmorin, either abandon the enemy that appears along the Meuse, or abandon the Belgian or Maginot Line!

However, the Maginot Line, which was fundamental to the whole of France, was obviously impossible to give up, because it was also under attack at this time, and in the Belgian direction, dozens of German divisions were attacking, and once Belgium was breached, France would face an even greater dilemma.

Neither side could give up, and Ganmorin's only option was to abandon the line of the Meuse River, let the defending troops delay the Germans through the Ardennes Forest as much as possible, and strive for the Anglo-French forces in northern France to crush the German army as soon as possible, and then rush directly into German territory, so as to play the role of encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

It's just that Ganmorin looked at the enemy situation report in his hand, but subconsciously thought that this report was deliberately exaggerated by the defenders along the Meuse River to hide their poor defense, he still did not believe that there would be a large number of German troops crossing the Ardennes Forest area, he always thought that the troops crossing the Ardennes Forest might only be one or two divisions, the reason why the Germans were able to inflict serious losses on the Meuse River defense line in such a short period of time, It was nothing more than the advantage of air power and the unfavorable combat readiness of the defenders of the Meuse......
