"Major, the leader is not wrong, we are all blonde and blue-eyed supermen!" Rudolph. Lieutenant Witshi said to Major Cork, who was running with him, in a somewhat mocking tone as he ran.

"Why do you say that?" Major Cork asked.

"We braved the rain of artillery fire from the sky, landed on the roof of a heavily fortified fortress, blew up dozens of targets in 60 minutes, and then hit dozens of them one by one, and the fight was over......"

"And we haven't been killed yet!" Major Cork added.

"There are still a few who have died!" Rudolph. As Lieutenant Witzschy spoke, he and Major Cork had already run to a hemispherical armored turret with a dozen other commandos.

It was an armored turret with a 120mm large-caliber gun, and the bomb that destroyed the cannon in the morning failed to blow up the turret shell, so a commando had to climb to the top of the turret and stuff the bomb into the barrel.

In the process, several other commandos had to exchange fire with dozens of Belgian soldiers. In the end, they not only destroyed the artillery, but also killed a dozen Belgians, but they themselves suffered no casualties - this is simply a thunderous plot only in a certain drama in later generations. But on April 10th, it was happening everywhere.

The turret, whose huge cannon had been blown up, was now a stronghold for the assault team, and the iron door of the armored turret had been pried open, allowing the team members to take refuge in it when the Belgians were shelling. When the shelling is over, these supermen will come out and continue to kill.

Opposite the turret is a spiral staircase from which the Belgian soldiers stationed at the fort would launch a counterattack. However, each counterattack was repulsed, and the corpses piled up at the exit of the stairs, several turning into a small hill.

However, the Belgians were unwilling to give up, and there were more than a thousand people under the roof of the fortress, and the nearby Belgian garrison sent more than a thousand more. The Belgian army, which was nearly 3,000, was now suppressed by a mere 100 German supermen (nearly 101 people who came down in H planes, 8 people who parachuted down, and later suffered a few casualties, and now there are still 100 people who can fight), naturally they are not reconciled, so they launched wave after wave of counteroffensives.

Major Cork and Rudolph. By the time Lieutenant Witzschy and his men came running, a round of Belgian shelling (fired by mortars from the garrison near the fortress) had just ended, and Belgian shouts were already coming from below the stairs.

"Just in time!" Major Cork spat out, and he and Rudolph. Lieutenant Witzhi was leading a dozen men to play the role of a fire brigade, running back and forth in several strongholds that could block the stairs, and they went for reinforcements wherever they were in a hurry

"Assert ......"

A shrill scream reached Panzer Meyer, who knew it was a Ju87 Stuka dive bomber attacking a Belgian artillery position 1,000 meters west of the Fronthofen Bridge. Four 75mm guns were deployed there, and there were also solid artillery bunkers. With the support of these four cannons, the Belgians attacked the German commandos who occupied the outposts and defensive positions on the west bank of the Ronhofen Bridge, but they were repulsed again and again - the same dozens of men and several machine guns were "hanging", and the Belgians of a brigade had nothing to do with them!

Moreover, the German commandos would also "summon", summoning a squadron of Stuka to bomb repeatedly. By the time Panzer Meyer's assault gun company broke through the resistance of a Belgian infantry regiment (also hanging) and rushed across the bridge to reinforce them, two of the four cannons had been blown apart, but the remaining two were still firing.

A second lieutenant of the Airborne Forces galloped up to Meyer's assault gun and shouted: "I'm Second Lieutenant Gehashacht, the commander here!" ”

Armored Meyer shouted at him as well, "I'm 'Adolf. Hitler's Guard Flag Corps' 16th Assault Gun Company Commander Kurt Brown. Captain Meyer, on orders, came to pick up the defense. Ensign, your mission is accomplished, it's time to see us! ”

"No," Ensign Gehacht waved his hand vigorously, "we can't go yet!" Air Force reconnaissance has found that a large number of Belgian troops are coming towards us, and there will soon be a fierce battle, so we must stay. ”

"Good!" Armored Meyer nodded, "Ensign, how are your casualties?" ”

"3 killed, 18 wounded, 3 of them seriously wounded!" Ensign Gehashacht replied.

Ninety-six commandos and 22 H pilots seized a bridge guarded by a Belgian infantry brigade at the cost of only 21 casualties, of whom only 6 were already dead and likely to die soon...... It's a golden thigh!

……

“…… In the face of the most ferocious and barbaric invasion of German militarism, the French government will stand with the French people from beginning to end to resist the invasion of the German army and defend the territory belonging to France. I firmly believe that the final victory and glory must belong to the heroic France, long live France! ”

At 9 a.m. on April 10, the Prime Minister of the French Republic, Paul. From the balcony of the Palais Martingnon, Renault told all the pro-and anti-Belgian masses the news of the French march into Belgium, and then gave a confident speech.

At this moment, Chancellor Reynaud did not know that he was going to face a group of Germans who were much more powerful than the one more than 20 years ago, and they would beat him to tears in a few days.

"Long live France! France will win! ”

The crowd in the square was inspired by Renault's speech and let out bursts of cheers, although some of them were still singing "The Internationale" last night to harass Renault, but at this time everyone felt that they were patriots. And they think that their parents can beat the Germans, and their generation will definitely not be far behind.

Just two hours after Renault delivered the "Speech at the Palace of Martingnon", across the English Channel, the new helmsman of the British Empire was about to be elected. He's Winston. Churchill was the most combative and the most resolute advocate of fighting Germany to the death.

At this moment, he was in the audience room of Buckingham Palace to meet King George VI of England, who was very unspeakable (stuttering). Nivelle. Neville Chamberlain had just recommended him to the King of England as the new Prime Minister of England.

"The new ...... Government, is it a coalition government? The King of England asked with a frown. His greatest fear now was not so much the German bombs falling from the sky or the German GIs from across the English Channel, but the internal problems of Britain. Because in his opinion, this world war will be a long and protracted war. Given the destructiveness of German submarines, it is likely that the British people will endure severe shortages and hardships, just as the Germans did in those days. Therefore, it is very important to have a government that can unite all political forces.

"Yes, I will lead a coalition government," Churchill said, "and this government will lead the empire over the murderous and barbaric enemies of the continent." ”

"Didn't materialize...... Is peace possible? The King of England asked.

"It's not possible, it's not necessary." Churchill said firmly, "In the early hours of this morning, the German Empire once again showed its savage and aggressive nature, invading Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. If we fail to stop German ambitions, the whole of Europe will soon be enveloped in darkness. ”

"So Belgium, Luxembourg and ...... And the Netherlands, already standing with us? ”

"Belgium has declared war on Germany and stands with us." Churchill said, "The attitude of Luxembourg and the Netherlands remains unclear. ”

When Churchill said this, Luxembourg had already surrendered to Germany. Seven German panzer divisions, three motorized rifle divisions and the "Greater Germany" flag and 10 infantry divisions had crossed the German-Deutsche border, and their vanguard had broken through the Ardennes forest region north of Luxembourg into Belgian territory. The remaining 44 divisions of German Army Group A were divided into two parts, one advancing to the south of Luxembourg to threaten the northern part of the Maginot Line; The other was waiting for orders east of the Ardennes - in case the surprise attack of the armored cluster was not successful, it would be the turn of these dozens of infantry divisions to attack. If the armor cluster succeeds in breaking through, then they will follow to expand the results.

At the same time, the Netherlands announced a general mobilization, demanded that German troops withdraw from the Dutch province of Limburg within 72 hours, and protested. Churchill, however, knew that the Dutch's protests and demands for withdrawal were nothing more than a pretense to fool Britain and France.

After all, the Germans were now only "borrowing" Limburg and did not invade the rest of the Netherlands, and everyone knew that they had no ambitions for Limburg. The Dutch were not guilty of putting the whole country in for this, and continued neutrality was still what they wanted.

Now the question is just whether Britain and France can hold their noses and admit that the Netherlands remains neutral?

Churchill, on the other hand, was not interested in the Netherlands for the time being.

Because the news from Belgium is very bad! The Germans attacked the fortress of Eben-Emer and also captured two bridges over the Albert Canal. This meant that the defense of the Albert Canal-Liège line had already been broken through by the Germans.

The Belgian troops deployed on the Albert Canal-Liège line were limited in number, and it was impossible to block the main German army (Churchill believed that it was the main German army that was attacking Belgium now) and still have the strength to counterattack and recapture bridges and fortresses.

Therefore, they can only choose to retreat in great strides, meet the Anglo-French troops who have come to reinforce on the Brussels-Dyre (Namur) line, and then seek a decisive battle!

Since the Belgian army was losing so quickly, some of Churchill's Anglo-French forces might not be able to make it to the battle in a hurry. Therefore, there is no need to trouble the Dutch, at least until the prospect of a battle in central Belgium becomes clear...... (To be continued.) )
