The 1st Panzer Brigade, annihilated.

This does not only mean that the numbers disappear one by one, but also means that the British 1st Armored Division has fallen into the most difficult situation.

Their main forces, three armored brigades, have already been wiped out by two, and by such a time, even the most optimistic people know that the prospects are no longer good.

"The French, are they just watching us exterminated?" At the division headquarters, Evans said angrily.

At the beginning, it was the French who ordered them to attack, attack, and beat the Germans down, and as soldiers, Evans carried out this order, but now, this order, it made him feel like he was going to hell.

They stupidly rushed to the front, and where was the French 10th Army, which was supposed to follow them behind?

"The French said they were waiting for us across the Meleval, asking us to join them after we broke out."

Listening to the adjutant's words, Evans's heart became even more angry, break through? What happens after the breakout? I don't even have the tools to build a bridge, can I cross that river?

The French are smart enough to wait for themselves on the other side of the river?

"Wait until it's dark, and break out immediately." Evans, though angry in his heart, gave the order.

Now they are surrounded by the Germans, the Germans' strong tanks, strong firepower, make them very passive, now, can only wait until dark, can break out.

This is the only chance.

"Report, General, the tanks of the Germans, from the middle of our positions, interspersed!" Just then, another adjutant came in and reported.

When the 1st Armoured Brigade was killed, a large hole was revealed in the British army's defensive line, and from this opening, the German Panzers drove straight into the British army's position!

Once the already small position is divided into two parts, the morale of the soldiers will be hit even harder, and if it is not good, they will have to lay down their arms and surrender!

Looking at the map in front of him, Evans gritted his teeth and said: "Order the 2nd Panzer Brigade to organize a counter-charge and beat the Germans out." ”

The Germans were too tough, and he didn't want to carry them hard with the Germans, but now, there was no choice but to carry them hard.

"Order, other troops, prepare to break through and cross the river."

Get ready to break through and cross the river! Hearing this, the adjutant was immediately stunned.

Let the 2nd Armored Brigade go out to fight and then the rest of the troops cross the river, which is clearly to abandon the 2nd Armored Brigade.

The main force of the 1st Armored Division was three armored brigades, and at the same time there was also an infantry brigade, as well as some divisional artillery and other troops.

There is a precedent for this, in the retreat, it is necessary to leave the troops behind the palace, and almost, the troops who stay behind will become martyrs, as a general, sometimes, you must learn to give up, and now, to give up the most elite armored troops under your command, this is really a strong man with a broken wrist.

Evans looked outside, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and he knew that he himself would be embarrassed to make this order, but he couldn't help it.

Only the armored brigade can resist the opponent's offensive and hold out until the night comes, and they will be able to break through, and after this breakthrough, crossing the river, it will become infantry, all the heavy equipment must be thrown away, and those tanks will not be brought back.

No other way.

It's a pity that his order was not conveyed.

In the sky, there was a rumbling sound.

"Watch out for air defense!" The sentry outside, shouted loudly.

In the sky, a large group of planes came over in the dark!

In an unknown hamlet, the Luftwaffe's ace bomber pilot Hans Rudel was attacked by a sneak attack, and when the news was reported, the squad responsible for electronic reconnaissance on the battlefield also locked on the village, and the radio communication was too frequent, and there must be the location of the British command organ!

After making this decision, the Luftwaffe immediately dispatched a large number of bombers!

Flying, not only light bombers like Stuka, but also Junkers-88!

The twin-engine bomber was flying smoothly, and in the cockpit of the nose, Hans-Jorg Bescher, the excellent German bomber captain, had a cold gaze.

During the last bombing of Scapa Gulf, Beyer, Beyer became famous, not only because of his outstanding bombing, but also because of his indomitable spirit.

After the plane suffered serious losses, he relied on his perseverance to fly the plane back and save the lives of the entire crew, so, after completing the combat mission, the Bescher crew was cordially summoned by the Führer.

This made them even more elated, full of tenacious energy, and threw themselves into the battle, and for his outstanding performance Beschel was awarded the Iron Cross, the proudest honor of the German soldiers.

It's a pity that there is no passion for the current bombing, and the British and French troops on the ground do not have any decent resistance, and their daily tasks are very boring.

Accept the mission, take off with bombs, bomb at the destination, bomb, and then come back, even the British and French fighters have disappeared.

"Approaching the target." The navigator shouted: "Prepare to enter the bombing route." ”

You can only determine the village where the target is located, but you can't determine where it is, so this bombing is even more meaningless, and the dive is avoided, and it is directly a horizontal bomb.

Entering the bombing route, the navigator's eyes, staring closely at the sight, the accuracy of the bombing, have a lot to do with his experience.

In bombing, the bomb is not completely flat throwing motion, and the wind speed, wind direction, and aerodynamic characteristics of the bomb will all have an impact on the bomb delivery accuracy.

The most troublesome thing is that the most critical ground speed in bomb dropping, that is, the flight speed of the aircraft relative to the ground, is difficult to measure directly, which causes a lot of deviation in bomb dropping.

It is said that the military-industrial units in the rear are creating a new sight that can drop bombs within a circle of thirty meters at a distance of seven thousand meters.

"Bomb dropping!" The navigator shouted loudly and pressed the button at the same time.

Four 500-kilogram bombs rolled down from the cabin and fell to the ground.

Behind them, one fighter plane after another dropped bombs, and this momentum was able to completely raze the villages on the ground!

The flickering bombs headed in the direction of the village, and at this time, the division headquarters in the village was in a panic.

They were temporarily looking for a village as a division headquarters, and they didn't dig anti-aircraft bunkers at all, and even if they dug bunkers, they couldn't stop the bombardment of 500 kg of bombs at all!

"Boom!" The first 500-kilogram bomb fell on the civilian house where the division headquarters was located!
