Chapter 461: The Death of Charles de Gaulle

There was only a second or two left for De Gaulle, and at this time, as a great French warrior, the slender de Gaulle shed his last drop of blood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The machine gun in his hand was still firing, and he could even confirm that his bullets must have hit the opponent's plane, but he just couldn't shoot down the opponent, which was simply speechless.

"Boom!" The 40-mm armor-piercing projectile, which accurately hit the narrow turret of the Type B tank, almost a dozen centimeters in front of Charles de Gaulle, drilled in!

The high-speed flying armor-piercing projectile brought a terrible air current, in which de Gaulle felt his body, like a fallen leaf in the wind, falling backwards.

Then, his legs were completely numb.

After penetrating the weak armor on the top of the turret, the armor-piercing projectile passed directly through his legs, and almost instantly, his legs turned into flesh foam, and at this moment, there was no pain, only numbness.

The lower half of his body is gone, and his upper body is still intact for the time being.

"Boom!" The armor-piercing shells continued to travel through the turret and pierced to the back of the turret, where the shells were stacked, and with the huge kinetic energy, the shells were detonated in an instant.

This brought about a second explosion, this time, with even more ferocity.

In fact, the so-called explosion is the process of rapid expansion of burning explosives, the pressure and temperature rise sharply, if the turret is closed, then the turret must have been flown first, and now, the top of the turret is open, and de Gaulle is standing there.

Therefore, when the martyrdom erupted, those high-pressure gases, in an instant, gushed out from this hatch, and in this air flow, the upper half of de Gaulle's body was lifted away.

At this time, de Gaulle's right hand had given up the machine gun, but his left hand was still waving the French flag.

He still seemed to be chanting, forward, forward!

Unfortunately, he no longer had any sense.

All the armored soldiers saw this scene, and their commander was killed by the explosion, and there were no bones left.

Run, run!

The FT-17 tank, which fell behind, turned around and quickly retreated to the rear, while the other heavy tanks, which were difficult to turn around, simply drove in reverse gear, and no one wanted to fight anymore.

In the sky, one after another HS129 attack planes swooped down from above, and every dive would bring about the death of a tank on the ground and bring terrible death.

In front of the plane, the tank is so small!

No matter what tank, it can't be compared with the aircraft, and those FT-17 tanks in the back were quickly caught up by the HS-129, and the tank crews were terrified, they knew that they were in the tank, and there was only death!

So, throw down the tanks, they ran away from the tanks one after another, leaving the tanks behind and bombing them for the Germans!

Lieutenant Webb looked at the French soldiers with a smile on his face.

His 12 shells, which have been fired, destroyed 11 tanks, is definitely a good result, however, he is not satisfied, and now, the French soldiers have just run out of the tanks, leave it to their machine guns to solve!

Lowering his plane, almost touching the ground, Lieutenant Webb piloted his HS-129 and fired a shuttle of bullets at the fleeing French soldiers.

"Da-da-da-da." In the sound of machine guns, several French soldiers who were still fleeing, were shot in the back, and under the impact of the bullets, their bodies continued to run forward for two or three steps before they crawled to the ground.

As a fighter, the most humiliating thing is to be shot in the back!

Here, there are no more decent battles, some are just a massacre!

And on the other side, on the territory of Belgium, large-scale battles are about to begin.

Maas River.

Reichenau's Sixth Army had already crossed the Maas River and joined up with the vanguard of the Belgian fortresses, and it was not only the Sixth Army that strengthened the Maas River.

On the entire front, in all directions, it can be said that in all basins of the Maas, the German army, the Maas, needed to be crossed.

Among them was the German 15th Panzer Corps, which was rampage through Belgian territory, and this Panzer Corps was led by the 7th Panzer Division.

Yes, it's the 7th Panzer Division.

When this armored division was formed, it was aimed at North Africa. In order to protect Libya's oil bases, Shirek intends to transfer the 7th Panzer Division to North Africa.

However, this did not meet the approval of Italy, and when Libya was bombed, Mussolini became emotional and wanted to seek revenge on the British, in which case Ciric and Mussolini reached an agreement to attack each other.

Mussolini attacked Egypt in the east, while Ciric's forces attacked France in the west.

Several infantry divisions have arrived in Libya one after another to protect the Libyan base, while the 7th Armored Division, which is the main force, has temporarily stayed behind and will not go over until the battle against France is over.

At this time, it was also time for the Italians to get a taste of the power of the British, and when they hit a wall, it was time to turn to Germany for help, and at that time, Rommel would rightfully be the commander-in-chief of the entire North African army.

Moreover, Rommel is eager to fight and defeat his old enemy France, how can he be without Rommel!

In this case, Rommel's 7th Panzer Division, at large, finally entered the battle.

The operational objective of the 7th Panzer Division was Dinan. With the furious advance of Rommel's troops, there was more than 30 kilometers of space between the German 15th Panzer Army and the friendly 41st and 19th Panzer Corps.

Between their attack arrows, there are broad defensive defects, if the French or Belgian army comes to a counter-assault, interspersed with these gaps, directly cut off their rear road, it may turn the tide of the battle, but unfortunately, now they have been beaten in a panic, and they have not thought of organizing a counterattack at all.

On the afternoon of the 12th, Rommel's troops reached the east bank of the Maas River.

Standing on the land on the east bank of the Maas River, looking at the French soldiers who arrived in a hurry on the opposite side, Rommel was in high spirits at this time.

"Wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, and in an hour, we will cross the river." Rommel said.

An hour later? That was the arrival of their own mechanized infantry, without waiting for the rest of the 15th Panzer Corps behind? Hearing Rommel's order, the adjutant was stunned.

The adjutant, Hans Forech von Fink, said to Rommel: "General, I have to wait for the arrival of the other troops before I can cross the river with certainty, right?" Our army, now lacking long-range projection artillery, will be able to cover the opposite bank of the river by waiting for other troops to arrive. ”

Rommel shook his head: "Our own tank guns can hit the opposite side and let our tanks line up to cover our infantry crossing the river." ”
