134 Encounter with Montgomery

"Go, it's German, go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

An inaudible sound sounded in the darkness, and a group of British soldiers quickly disappeared into the darkness.

They were the reconnaissance squad of the 3rd Infantry Division of the British Expeditionary Force, which was sent to Calais by the British.

Because the Luftwaffe dominated the entire sky during the day, even if the British Royal Air Force sent fighter jets, it could not get air supremacy from the Luftwaffe at all, so they could only hurry at night.

It's just that they never imagined that they would encounter German tank units on the outskirts of Burburg, which had just left Dunkirk.

"It should be only the vanguard of the Germans, according to the information we have received, the Germans do not have a main force here, and the scouts should only find a small force of German troops."

"A small share?"

The commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, Bernard? Toil? Montgomery paced back and forth, glancing at the map, and he himself was not quite convinced that there would be an army of German tanks in this position.

"Sir, are we going to eat this group of German armorers?"

The chief of staff looked at Montgomery, at this time, whether the enemy was eaten by a regiment or a company, it could have a great morale boost, and in the middle of the night, according to the reports of the scouts, this German unit was resting, they had almost entered the camp and were not detected.

"No, let the troops move in the direction of Gravolina at once, and do not startle the snakes and bypass them."

Montgomery did not listen to the advice of the chief of staff, and the unusually cautious Montgomery was not willing to take risks at any time.

Unless the situation is clear and his side has an absolute advantage, Montgomery would rather stop and give up the opportunity to attack than gamble.

However, it was precisely because of his cautious action that his Third Infantry Division really escaped.

The so-called 'small unsuspecting German troops' that the scouts found outside Bulburg were not at all what they saw.

It was the first battalion of the first regiment directly under Li Ling, and because Li Ling had stationed three battalions in a zigzag pattern, and all the troops had implemented light control, the British reconnaissance team made a wrong judgment on this gloomy night.

As for the lack of vigilance, it can be regarded as a similar statement, because although Li Ling has carried out all-round deployment, not only there are open posts, but also a lot of dark posts have been arranged, but because the time is after midnight, these recruits in charge of the realm have already been sleepy, and this British reconnaissance team was so lucky to bypass all the eyes, successfully walked to the front of the first battalion station, and left unharmed.

When all the coincidences came together, at midnight on this day, Li Ling missed the opportunity to go head-to-head with the British coach Montgomery for the first time.

"Boss, get up."

Yang Manguan's voice entered his ears, and Li Ling opened his sleepy eyes.

Li Ling slept very unsteadily this night, and he didn't know why he couldn't sleep all the time, he always felt like something was going to happen, but in the end nothing happened.

The tossing and turning was so uncomfortable that he rolled over several times throughout the night and walked around the garrison in the middle of the night, trying to figure out why he felt the way he did.

But in the end, I got nothing, maybe I was too tired and stressed during this time?

Shaking his head, washing his face, cheering himself up, and casually eating a bite of breakfast sent by Yang Manguan, Li Ling walked out of the tent, walked to a relatively high mound, and took out his binoculars to look forward.

The small village of Burburg appeared in Li Ling's field of vision, and the next goal was to attack there, but I don't know if that place will encounter a strong resistance, after all, it is infinitely close to Dunkirk at this time.

The troops of the 19th Panzer Corps also rushed over during the night's rest, and now the 19th Panzer Corps and the 1st Regiment were deployed on the line west of St. George-Fort Bourg-Lobech on the Agawa, with Li Ling and them in the middle.

"The Air Force probably won't come today."

Looking up at the cloudy sky, Kirsch sighed a little, in such weather, there is absolutely no way for the Air Force to come here to provide support.

"It doesn't matter, it's a big deal that we advance a little slower and try to control casualties, anyway, we've already hit here."

Patting Kirsch on the shoulder, the effects of the weather were completely insurmountable for the air forces of all countries in this period.

"Let's go, aim for Bulburg, and try to have lunch at Bulburg at noon today!"

With the order given, the entire camp moved, and then Li Ling began to inform the 19th Panzer Corps that he was ready to launch an attack on Fort Bul.

However, unexpectedly, Li Ling unexpectedly received the news from Guderian that the 1st Panzer Division had exchanged fire with a British infantry at St. George-sur-A.

"British troops? Are they in charge of defending there? How many people are there? ā€

Hearing that the 1st Armored Division had exchanged fire with the enemy, Li Ling hurriedly asked about the size of the opponent, which was only one step away from Dunkirk, although he and the 1st Armored Division attacked in different locations, but through the situation over there, Li Ling also had a general judgment of the enemy that his side might encounter.

"At least one British division, no, it seems that there is still a small force of French troops. It was true that the French were defending St. George-sur-A, but the British division did not seem to be defending there, but more like moving towards the coast through there. We don't know exactly what the British division was trying to do. ā€

"Oh, maybe they're British troops trying to escape to Dunkirk?"

"No, it's not, if they're going to flee to Dunkirk, they should just go east, not northwest."

"So what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Beat! Fight to eat them outright! ā€

"Okay, in that case, then I'll attack Fort Bul directly, and after taking Fort Bour, I'll decide whether to move to your side or not depending on the situation."

Turning off the communication equipment, Li Ling wondered a little, why did the British not flee to Dunkirk with all their strength at this time, but moved to the northwest?

As for the British division that moved northwest, well, it was the British 3rd Infantry Division, and if Montgomery and his troops wanted to go to Gravolina, they had to pass through St. George-sur-A, but he never imagined that as soon as his troops arrived at St. George-sur-A, they happened to encounter the attack of the German 1st Panzer Division......
