Chapter 501: The French Admiral Captured
This belongs to the French countryside, and you can see that there are several houses nearby, and when you hear Hosk's order, Gad, who is holding an MP36 submachine gun, strides towards the house.
"You guys, come out!" Gade shouted loudly, "Push the car for us!" ”
Opening the door, Gade shouted loudly to the other party, he used German, after all, not everyone can speak French, if you conquer a country, you must know the language of that country, then German soldiers have become translators who know many Chinese.
In the house, there were five or six French men, and after hearing Gade's words, they obediently walked out, followed Gade's guidance, and followed to push the car.
"Come on, come over here, lift the car!" Seeing these Frenchmen coming, Hosk didn't pay much attention to it, and immediately shouted to them.
Lift up! The car was several tons, and it was very laborious to lift it, shouting slogans, and the Frenchmen followed with all their might, and the wheels finally got up!
"Quick, throw a stone into the pit!" Hosk shouted as he threw the momentum on the side of the road into the pit, so that the pit would be filled and the wheels would naturally come out.
"Hold on!" Hosk was constantly commanding, and the men who carried the car had already exhausted all their strength, especially one of the Frenchmen, who seemed to be almost fifty years old, and his physical strength was obviously lacking.
"Hold on!"
It was carried for five minutes, and finally, the pit below was filled.
Wiping the sweat from their heads, the faces of several Frenchmen, with smiles, gestured to Hosk.
Hosk nodded: "You can go, thank you for your contribution to the Empire." ”
The other party turned around and walked back, and suddenly, Hosk remembered something: "Wait! ”
Hearing this, the body of the person who had already begun to move forward was shaken, and the old man turned his head with a smile on his face, as if asking Hosk, what else is the matter?
"Take off your shirt!" Hosk said.
He already sensed that something was wrong, these guys, they could understand German! How can ordinary people in the countryside know German?
Moreover, the walking posture of these people is very capable, and it is completely like long-term training.
Hearing his order to take off his shirt, these people were instantly stunned.
As soon as the scene stopped, Gad immediately had a premonition, and pointed his submachine gun at these people, although this submachine gun was eliminated from the front-line troops, and was given to them for the cooking class, but it was still an advanced weapon, with fast rate of fire and fierce firepower, as long as he pulled the trigger, these people had to be killed suddenly.
"I am Admiral Gironde, commander-in-chief of the French 9th Army, and I ask to be treated as a prisoner in connection with my status." The old man in his fifties said to Hosk.
I can't hold it anymore.
His main force was actually there, but he couldn't get in touch, the rapid advance of Germany broke up the French army along the way, and Admiral Giron had no choice but to retreat temporarily, but, not long ago, on the advance route of the German armored forces, his command was ended.
He ran out with only four or five guards and came to the private house in this village, wanting to pretend to be a local, looking for an opportunity to break out of the siege, and go to the rear to make plans again.
After all, this war is a matter between soldiers, until now, the battles have taken place between soldiers, and they have not affected civilians, the French are very gentlemen, and the Germans are full of chivalry when they fight this war.
However, he did not expect that by mistake. A cooking squad in Germany actually took him prisoner.
There is no other choice, over the years, he has become a senior commander, there is no brand on his body, these guards, all have obvious characteristics, the calluses on the shoulders because of the constant shoulder shooting, will not disappear immediately, this is the most intuitive manifestation of distinguishing ordinary people from soldiers.
As soon as you take off your clothes, you will be exposed, and it is better to be upright now than to be humiliated by taking off your clothes.
Hearing this, Hosk was also stunned, the general, the commander-in-chief of the army group, was actually captured by himself!
"Quick, immediately inform the battalion commander, we have captured the French general!" Hosk's face was full of excitement, this is definitely good news, this battle captured the highest level of the enemy, absolutely!
"Yes." Gade replied, and he ran quickly to his car.
Because Ciric attaches great importance to the great role of radio, so the German armored forces have fully popularized radio, in addition to the combat troops, their car, also equipped with a rudimentary wireless telegraph, although there are only five electron tubes, the range of action is only 20 kilometers, that is also a very effective means of communication.
Like now.
After getting the news, the commander of the 65th armored battalion quickly reported to the division, and the division commander Kempf was immediately quite excited, and the results he wanted finally came.
Compared to drag racing, he can't compare to the 7th Panzer Division, and now, his troops, have captured the French general, this merit is enough to show off in the entire combat unit!
"Order the 65th Panzer Battalion, send a tank company, to receive this French general." Kempf immediately gave the order.
When the order was received on the radio, the commander of the 3rd Company, Hubert Meyer, was quite unhappy in his heart.
Meyer, who joined the Waffen-SS at an early age, became a tankman, but, when the 6th Panzer Division was formed, he was transferred and became the commander of the tank company.
Coming out of the elite Adolf-Hitler division, Meyer chose to obey, and of course he knew the meaning, and the great Führer wanted to bring the Waffen-SS's will to fight to the Wehrmacht.
In fact, the deeper meaning is also obvious, in this way, the Wehrmacht was constantly assimilated, and finally the Wehrmacht evolved into a unit that was absolutely loyal to the Führer like the SS.
When he arrived, Meyer's equipment made him even more depressed.
Although the production line has been started, including the Czech military factory, which is also transforming production, the expansion of the German armored division is also quite rapid, and so far, the production of tanks has not been able to catch up with the expansion of the armored division.
Therefore, in his tank company, there are only four Panther 3 tanks, and the rest are all Chaser tank destroyers.
According to the production plan in the rear, their tanks should have been replenished half a year ago, but later, they were robbed by the 7th Panzer Division, and they could not be replenished with new Panther 3 tanks until the end of the French campaign.
However, there is still a risk when you think about it, and when the battle is over, those newly built tanks may be snatched by the Waffen-SS first to make up for their losses in the war.
