Chapter 47: The End
The victorious march is not in the outnumbered army, and the defeated army is not afraid of it!
Even though the enemy had tens of thousands of men, they still had no resistance in the face of the Berlin regiment, and the enemy did not know how many ambushed troops there were.
The firelight was clearly visible in the clear day, the counterattacking French troops, the pursuing German troops, tanks, artillery shells, stumps, ownerless horses, smoke and flesh, the whole battlefield was in chaos.
There was a group of enemies entrenched in a mountain forest, and Hitler took the lead, rushing forward with bullets on his horses, fighting with the enemy with bayonets, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted.
Let the Berlin regiment continue the pursuit, and Hitler himself took the guard platoon and rode through the bullet-ridden battlefield in the direction of the cavalry regiment.
In the forest on a hillside, Hitler found the main force of the cavalry regiment, only to see the soldiers with haggard faces and many dead and wounded.
"Why didn't the Berlin regiment strike at the scheduled time?" The commander of the cavalry regiment, Wei Suer, pulled up the collar of Hitler's military uniform and shouted: "You let our cavalry regiment charge several times the enemy, and send them to death like idiots." ”
"The tide of the battle has changed, and the ambush of the Berlin regiment has to be postponed, otherwise both of our regiments are in danger of being wiped out." Hitler was not afraid of Wessur's eyes, the situation of the war had changed, and he, as the supreme commander, had to make the right decisions.
"We have killed and wounded more than 900 people, and our regiment has never killed or injured so many people, in fact, these casualties are unnecessary." Wei Suer was so angry that his muscles skyrocketed, and his whole face was red, quite like an ancient Zhang Fei.
"I'm sorry." Hitler glanced at the soldiers of the cavalry regiment around him and said sincerely.
Once the success is achieved, the war will definitely kill people, and the innocent dead and wounded of the cavalry regiment are all because of his mistakes, if there were no mistakes, the losses of the cavalry regiment would not be so great, and Hitler felt sorry.
The soldiers of the cavalry regiment stood or sat and watched Hitler quietly, the fine tradition of the German soldiers made them only silently taste the pain in their hearts, even if they knew that the commander's command was wrong, they did not complain, because they were German soldiers, even if the commanders told them to die, they did not say a word and died with the enemy with the explosives bag.
Weshal's blood-red eyes were still wide, and he tugged at the collar of Hitler's military uniform, looking like he was ready to beat Hitler at any moment.
Hitler looked a little embarrassed at this time, he continued: "I didn't mean to, I don't know how to make up for my mistakes, I think only by killing more enemies can I avenge the dead and wounded brothers, everyone, take this opportunity, ride a war horse, and go to the bloody battle with me." ”
Some of the soldiers of the cavalry regiment swallowed their saliva, and some clenched their rifles, eager to try, quite excited.
Breaking free of Weissur's hand, Hitler added a fire, and said: "Listen to my orders, get on your war horse, and charge!" ”
Wei Suer has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his psychological quality is also high, so he rode the war horse cleanly: "Listen to my orders, rush!" ”
After all, Weisuer was the commander of the cavalry regiment, and he had more authority in the cavalry regiment, and under Weisour's orders, all the cavalry began to pursue the French rout.
The whole ambush circle was an encirclement with a missing line from the sky, and all the French troops fled through this gap, and if they fled more than a kilometer, it would be the town of Hedu.
It suddenly occurred to Hitler that the enemy might still have some forces attacking Hedu Town, so did the enemy attacking Hedu Town know that his army was ambushed?
If the French army was still attacking Hedu Town, and did not know that the army in the Northern Forest had collapsed, then Hitler could have led his cavalry to attack Hedu Town, and the infantry regiment in Hedu Town flanked the enemy in front and rear.
A few points to be clear:
First: whether the enemy's command is in disarray, whether there will be a plan for a counterattack.
Second: Are the enemies in Hedu still attacking Hedu and have they found the fleeing rout? Will it know that the army has been ambushed, and will the French command inform the army in Hedu that it has been attacked, and let it hold on?
In fact, there may not be many enemies in Hedu Town, and it is better to let the cavalry rush to Hedu Town than to continue to harvest the French rout on the Northern Forest Road, but, for some reason, Hitler's mind always has to think about Hedu Town, and always thinks that there is something important in Hedu Town.
Sure enough, a cavalryman came in a hurry and said to Hitler: "The enemy has suddenly intensified its attack on the town of Hedu, and the commander of the regiment Hena is almost unable to hold on, so he called me to ask for reinforcements." ”
So that's it!
The enemy commander had to be admired, but he didn't expect that the enemy commander could still stay sober in the defeat, and understood that capturing Hedu Town at this time was the key, because only Hedu Town nearby was conducive to defense, and it could also collect the routs and minimize losses.
Hedu Town cannot be captured by the enemy!
"The cavalry regiment will follow me to reinforce Hedu Town!"
Hitler understood that if the enemy had increased his forces and captured the town of Hedu, they would have no place to stand.
By the time more than 1,000 cavalrymen had rounded up to Hedu Town, the enemy had already broken through to Hedu Town, relying on houses and street battles, and the situation was critical, and the guard platoon and gendarmerie of the Hena Regiment were sent to the front.
With the addition of more than 1,000 cavalry, the defense of Hedu Town was suddenly stabilized, and the opponent only had about one regiment in Hedu Town.
…………
In the headquarters of the French support troops, Marshal Foch wiped his sweaty forehead with fear, just now he was almost left in the encirclement of the Germans, his command was walking behind the artillery regiment, he was riding a war horse to urge the troops to move forward quickly, suddenly there was a violent battle sound in front, and when he looked at it, he actually saw a lot of tanks on the road hundreds of meters ahead, startled him, and cut off the troops by force, and the tanks formed a great wall of steel, so that the artillery regiment suffered heavy casualties at once, Fu Xi hurriedly retreated and organized troops to attack these tanks, but they had no anti-tank weapons and no powerful artillery, the German tanks were completely like steel fortresses, they couldn't break it, there was no way, and in the end, they had to organize death squads to blow up the enemy's tanks with explosives bags.
At the same time, Fu Xi thought that his army was ambushed, and he did not know how many troops the enemy had, so he ordered the 102nd Regiment attacking Hedu Town to capture Hedu Town at all costs while gathering his troops.
"Why didn't our vanguard detect the enemy's ambush?" Foch was puzzled, he dealt with too many things as commander-in-chief, and some details were not known, such as the German ambush troops were arranged in the German main line, and without the reconnaissance of the air force, the French only thought about breaking the defense line and pursuing the router, and it was impossible to discover the German ambush.
A staff officer walked into Fuxi's command room: "The 102nd Regiment reported that after reconnaissance, a large number of troops were sent to the enemy in the direction of Hedu Town, and it was difficult for our regiment to capture Hedu Town. ”
"Oh, can't you beat it?" Marshal Fuxi did not know how many troops the enemy had, and he was afraid of being attacked by the enemy in a roundabout way, so he ordered: "Order the 102nd Regiment to withdraw and the whole army to retreat." ”
With Fuxi's order, the attacking French soldiers on the battlefield covered each other and retreated, and Hitler was not strong enough to pursue him, so he had to send scouts to monitor and reconnoitre.
"Alas!" Fu Xi was so angry that he threw the pen in his hand on the ground and broke it in two: "How is it possible?" Isn't Ludendorff in Fort Thierry? How was this battle fought? ”
It was not until the next day, when the pursuing German cavalry returned one after another, that the battle was over.
According to statistics, more than 5,000 French troops were annihilated in this battle, more than 2,000 French soldiers were captured, including wounded French soldiers, and countless weapons and artillery were captured.
More than 1,000 of their own people were killed, mainly cavalry regiments and infantry regiments in Hedu Town, and more than 2,000 were wounded, accounting for one-half of the total number of casualties. Almost all the tanks of the Berlin regiment were destroyed, and only a dozen or so were able to be repaired.
With more than 5,000 soldiers, they defeated more than 20,000 enemies!
What's next?
