"Well, well done!" At the top of the fortress, Lieutenant Wichge watched with a telescope as the bombers bombed the Belgian artillery in the distance, quite satisfied. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Their numbers, after all, are still too small, and it will take at least a day for a large-scale army to rush here, and now, they are surrounded by Belgians.

As paratroopers, they are born to be surrounded, they come in gliders, and they also face such a dilemma, but fortunately they are not alone, because there are bombers supporting them!

If Hans had dropped a bomb directly on a cannon, he would have blown up at most one cannon, but now, he threw a bomb on the ammunition box of the cannonball, and the entire artillery position turned into a huge sea of fire.

In the sea of fire, some of the Belgian artillerymen, screaming and carrying flames, some were running wildly, some were rolling on the ground, and the scene was embarrassing.

In the face of these Belgian artillerymen, Hans did not hesitate to push the nose and, using his own machine guns, continued to slaughter them!

War is so cruel and merciless!

In the sky, the rumble of the engine sounded again, and it could be seen that a huge four-engine plane was flying from the east!

When it reached the sky above here, the cabin door opened, and a paratrooper jumped from it.

The people of the second echelon are finally here!

They flew over on a transport plane on the same platform as the Junkers 290, and then, in the sky, beautiful umbrella flowers bloomed.

If there were still Belgian defenders below, then the anti-aircraft machine guns would have allowed them to suffer heavy casualties during the landing, and now, below them, is absolutely safe!

Holding the binoculars, Lieutenant Weiqige swept over each umbrella flower, and soon found that under the parachute, it was not a person, but a large box!

The second batch of explosives is finally here!

At dawn, they came in gliders, and with the help of sturdy gliders, they carried two and a half tons of explosives, and blasted the gun emplacements, passages, and so on on on the top of the fortress.

But that's not enough!

There are still many more positions that need to be blasted and now, they need more explosives!

"Tom." A large box hit the ground, and Lieutenant Weiqig quickly ran over and opened the large box, which contained neatly stacked explosives.

"Keep blasting!" Lieutenant Wichge said, "Pull out the nails!" ”

The follow-up action, there is a figurative saying, that is, pulling nails! Remove all the fire points!

At the top, the rope was lowered and hung all the way to the vertical cliff, and several brave warriors slid down the rope, fixed the explosives to the cliff, inserted the detonator, and climbed up again.

"Boom!" A huge explosion was heard, and this firepower point on the cliff was completely destroyed!

And this huge explosion made the Belgian troops inside the fortress tremble.

Major Bridgeland stood restlessly, and outside, explosions followed one after another, and bad news kept coming.

No defender dared to be near any of the firing points, and at this time, they were exploding one by one, and anyone who stayed around there would surely be injured.

They still have more than 1,000 people, they have enough ammunition, they have enough food to last for half a year, but now, they don't have any confrontation.

"Report, there was a secondary explosion at the entrance of our passage." An officer hurried over and said to Major Bridgeland.

If they wanted to go up and drive away the Germans, they needed to dig the passage again, and now, the Germans had enough explosives, and there were two explosions that blocked the passage even more!

Major Bridgeland sat on the ground, what should he do? Fortunately, the vent was not blocked, otherwise, they would all have to suffocate here!

"Report, the division headquarters sent an infantry battalion to support us." Another adjutant reported.

Of course, the Belgian army attached great importance to this fortress, and they constantly sent troops to this side.

However, a few minutes later, the frustrated news came up again, this infantry battalion, discovered by the Stuka bombers, had been bombed to pieces, and could no longer come up!

……

"Boom, boom." The diesel engine was roaring, with the characteristic clatter of high-pressure fuel injectors, and the troops on the whole road were advancing rapidly.

The vanguard, the Panther tanks, rushed swiftly towards the Belgian troops on the opposite side with their guns held high, and in one of the commanding Panther tanks, a tall and thin German general with excitement in his eyes.

Walter von Reichenau was born in Karlsruhe in 1884 into an aristocratic family, and his father was also a soldier, up to artillery general.

In 1903, Reichenau enlisted in the army and began to serve in the 1st Guards Field Artillery Regiment stationed in Berlin, where he fought in Lake Mussooli, Lithuania, Flanders and other places, where he distinguished himself.

After the end of World War I, Reichenau remained in the army of 100,000, where he rose through the ranks and at the same time chose the path of National Socialism.

Yes, he was a staunch veteran of the Workers' Party, a firm believer in the German Army, and in later commentaries he was one of the staunch founders of the Third Reich.

At the end of the Polish campaign, he was promoted to general and was also in command of the Sixth Army, which was commanded by Bock, and his army was tasked with being the most important of the entire corps.

Advance towards the narrow corridor between Rotterdam and Liège, overcome obstacles such as the Maas River and the well-fortified Albert Canal, and quickly seize the Eben-Emar fortress at the southern end of the Albert Canal, with the cooperation of the Airborne Forces, where it will be forced.

Break through the head-on between Maastricht and Liège and open the way to Brussels!

It can be said that the task of Reichenau was of decisive significance for the victory of the whole campaign, and whether the forces of the Belgian and Allied armies could be resolutely contained and quickly lose their freedom of action depended on the speed of the German Sixth Army's movements.

Under Reichenau, there were 14 infantry divisions and 2 tank divisions, and now, with all the tank divisions in one place, he quickly advanced forward, and as the commander of the entire army group, he actually rushed to the forefront!

Hurry, hurry, must be fast, the airborne troops of the fortress are waiting for their side, and they must go to reinforcements in the shortest possible time!

At this time, what do you want to have a full command? Just rush forward, and the troops behind, keeping up, will naturally protect their flanks!

The tactics of the German armored corps, after years of research, are now quite mature, rapid advance, division and encirclement, their biggest advantage is that they are fast, so fast that the enemy can not react at all!
