In less than two hours after the French vanguard exchanged fire with our army, the French reinforcements of more than 20,000 people arrived on the battlefield, and together with the previous French vanguard regiment, the pressure on the two road defense lines increased several times for a time.

"There are probably more than 15,000 enemies in Hedu Town, more than 8,000 people on the Northern Forest Road, and the French have only taken part of their soldiers to attack our positions, and the rest of the soldiers are resting in the rear and serving as reserves." Weikrich said to Hitler, who was in the forward command room.

"Yes." Hitler put down his binoculars, it should be impossible for the French to send all their soldiers to attack our positions, after all, the battle line is only so wide, under the action of machine guns and artillery, the tactics of crowds are outdated, and it is useless to send more people. It is common sense to send only a part of the army to attack, and the rest of the soldiers can also rest in the rear.

What he was worried about was whether these French, who were resting in the rear of the northern forest, would join the pursuit of our rout when our army fled, or would they still stand still in the rear, if this would be troublesome, and then the plan would go smoothly, and we would suddenly run out in the forest to ambush, but the enemy had reserves in the rear, and they would be directly transferred to support the French troops in the ambush circle, so that it would be troublesome, and the battle would become a protracted war and a war of attrition, which would be unfavorable to our army.

Hitler wandered around the forward command room, his mind in a mess, spinning rapidly, groggy. At this time, Hitler deeply realized that it was too difficult to be a qualified commander, and although there was a staff office to perfect the formulation of the battle plan, the commander considered too many things to prevent, and the war situation was ever-changing and unpredictable.

Finally, Hitler made a decision: "Order Manstein and Rommel, the main forces of the two tank battalions to be placed at the head of the ambush site, and after the ambush began, all the tanks rushed out of the forest and into the enemy position." If the enemy's reserves do not pursue our fleeing soldiers, when the enemy sees our counterattack and the French reserves are supporting, the main forces of the two tank battalions will build a man-flesh defense line for me to intercept the enemy's reserves. ”

The front of the soldiers of the Berlin regiment ambushed in the boreal forest stretched along the road for almost a kilometer, and the front was long. Hitler's order was to place the main force of the Berlin regiment at the front of the ambush site, and after the ambush battle began, the main force rushed out of the forest, surrounded the enemy army, and at the same time intercepted the enemy's reserves at the front.

After giving this order, Hitler finally felt much more at ease, he once again picked up the binoculars and looked at the positions of the northern forest, and said to himself: "It has been two hours since the main forces of the enemy joined the battle......

Weikrich walked to Hitler's side and also looked at the position: "The enemy attacking the position in the northern forest is about 4,000 people, and there are still 4,000 people resting in the rear, and there are 2,000 cavalry regiments on our position, although the quality of soldiers and weapons and equipment are inferior to our Berlin regiment, but the enemy does not bring much artillery fire, I believe that the cavalry regiment can still resist the enemy's attack for at least three hours, and after three hours, if the cavalry regiment does not have reinforcements, it may not be able to hold it if the losses are too heavy." ”

"The cavalry regiment cannot break and flee when it is exhausted, it is necessary to give the enemy the illusion that our army has suffered heavy losses, and at the same time it is necessary to preserve the vital forces for counterattack, how is the first battalion of the cavalry regiment arranged?" Hitler asked, watching the battle at the front.

"The first battalion of the cavalry regiment has arrived at the position where the counterattack is scheduled to be counterattacked, and the gendarmerie of the cavalry regiment is also in the first battalion, you can rest assured."

The 1st Battalion of the Cavalry Regiment was not in the blocking position on the Northern Forest road, but about 1.5 kilometers behind the position, where they recuperated, managed the horses, prepared for the counterattack, and at the same time received the soldiers on the front line who were feigning defeat.

Putting a battalion in the rear counterattack site can prevent a fake rout from becoming a real rout, although this mission temporarily notified all the soldiers of the regiment to let everyone know to pretend to be defeated, but the soldiers of the cavalry regiment are cavalry after all, and there is not much infantry training, and it is very likely that the pursuing French will not know the direction, and there will be a situation where the soldiers cannot find the generals, and the soldiers will not be able to find the soldiers, and they will become a group of stragglers with no combat effectiveness.

In this way, not to mention a counterattack, it is good that the cavalry regiment is not destroyed by the enemy in the course of pursuit.

Therefore, a battalion of soldiers was arranged in the rear, which could collect the rout, and also take care of the horses and ammunition, etc.

"Go to Hedu Town!" Hitler left the forward command room, and the battle in Hedu Town was heard to be very hard, and our infantry regiment had only more than 2,000 people, and the enemy had more than 15,000 people, and the disparity in strength was too great, and Hitler was worried that the infantry regiment would not be able to hold it.

"Woo......" As soon as Hitler entered the command room of the infantry regiment in Hedu Town, the screams of enemy shells pierced everyone's eardrums. Get down! Someone shouted, and before Hitler could react, he was crushed to the ground by the bull next to him, and with a few banging sounds and violent vibrations, the command room fell silent.

"Carry the wounded down." A shell hit the command room, killing several staff officers, and as Hitler was being helped up, he heard the commander of the infantry regiment, Henner, have the dead and wounded fall to the ground to be carried down.

"That's how the situation is at the front?" Hitler and Henner stood face to face.

"The fight was very hard, the reserve battalions were all sent, the key is that the French have an artillery regiment, which is a great threat to us, it may take less than two days, and with the French fully supplied, the entire town of Hedu will be razed to the ground." Although Hena was gray-headed, blood-red eyes, he was not tall and thin, but his whole person exuded a strong strength, as if his strength was inexhaustible.

"Anyway, I handed over Hedu Town to you, you can't retreat without my order, the front-line soldiers are dead and the regimental headquarters is up to me, and you give me to go up after the regimental headquarters is dead." Hitler snapped up that they were of equal rank, and if Hitler shouldn't have said such a thing in peacetime, but he was appointed by Ludendorff as the commander of the three regiments, and even if he asked Hena to lead the death squads to his death, Henner had to do it.

"I am a proud German soldier and will never take a step back!" Hena raised his chest in a hoarse voice.

Hitler observed in the command room the blocking position of the infantry regiment in Hedu Town, the town was not large, and the soldiers relied on houses, canals, trenches, hills, etc. to defend, although the terrain occupied was good, but after all, the enemy was several times larger, and the battle was very difficult.

Hitler took the platoon of guards and went to the front line with Hener, and in the trenches next to the town of Hedu, the soldiers stepped on stagnant water, and it was not easy to guard against the bullets that the French could arrive at any time, and also to guard against the shells that often fell from the sky.

"We don't have artillery, so it's not okay to be beaten, so I'll go back to the command room and contact the air force command to see if we can support us and harass the enemy's artillery regiment." Firepower is an important factor in judging the merits of the battle situation, and allowing the enemy's artillery regiment to do whatever it wants will not only increase casualties, but also hit the morale of the soldiers.

Hitler shouted at the soldiers in the trenches: "Warriors, it is the best defense of the trenches, every one of our German soldiers is a warrior, I believe that you are no exception, with you, I believe that we can repel the enemy's attack, please rest assured, the Reich has not tasted defeat since its founding, and this time it will not fail, we will win!" ”
