As soon as the Germans left Reims, the scouts spotted them.

However, the scout team did not rush to attack, but summoned their companions.

Qin Zhiyuan equipped the scouts with a considerable number of Lewis light machine guns, all of which used 97 rounds of drums, one on almost every two, two, or three-wheeled motorcycle, while a three-wheeled motorcycle carried only two people, a driver and the other machine gunner.

In the seat behind the driver, there was a special cartridge box, which was filled with bullets, a total of fifty.

The scouts, in groups of two trikes, had been patrolling the vicinity of Reims. When they find out that the Germans are starting to leave, one motorcycle will return to the temporary command to report to the wind, and the other will continue to keep watch.

Hu Tingfeng's temporary headquarters was set up on a large armored vehicle with a wide compartment that could hold an impromptu meeting of four people. Of course, if you don't care about the seats, you can also have a few more people.

The armored car has a basic defensive force, the thickness of the armor is ten millimeters, and when operating at full speed, it can run at a speed of almost 20 kilometers per hour. The attack force is five machine guns equipped in the front and left and right, two in the front and one on the left, right, and rear.

Such an armored car, if it were to play its full role, would require almost eight to ten people. It looks like a lot, but in fact it is not much at all, and the tanks that the Germans are now working on, with a crew of up to 18 people, are real behemoths.

There were three of the same armored car scouts, and at the same time fifteen trucks were responsible for supporting them.

This is the first real mechanized unit of the 1st Division, the kind where everyone sits in a car.

After receiving the report of the departure of the German forward troops, Hu Tingfeng immediately ordered Kim Tae-wha to carry out harassment according to the original plan.

That's right, harassment.

Although the Scouts are mechanized troops, considering that they have less than 500 men, it is true that they can only take on the task of harassment in a large corps confrontation.

The distance from Reims to Feu-on-Tadnoy was only about thirty kilometers, and Hu Tingfeng's task was to delay the Germans as much as possible, so that the 1st Division and the 32nd French Division had more time to build defensive positions.

The Germans were moving quickly, and by the time the scouts were concentrated, about a regiment of forward troops had left Reims.

Naturally, the Germans also had scouts, and their scouts still used war horses, and some of them used motorcycles, the kind of three-wheeled motorcycles. It's not a three-wheeled one with a sidecar, but a three-wheeled one wheel in front and two wheels in the back.

The motorcycle was invented by the Germans, but because of the appearance of Qin Zhiyuan, the motorcycle has developed by leaps and bounds. Combined with the American Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Qin Zhiyuan's troops are equipped with motorcycles with pneumatic rubber tires, ball bearings, clutches and transmissions, front suspension suspension systems, spring seats, etc., which are almost a collection of all the world's advanced technologies.

The motorcycles of the Germans are lackluster, and they are now only using some of the advanced technology, which is very different from the motorcycles equipped by the 1st Brigade in terms of speed, ride comfort and stability.

The first to encounter was the scouts of the two armies, and the exchange of fire also began between motorcycles.

When the first German motorcycles appeared in front of the scouts of the 1st Division, the scouts were planting roadside bombs.

This kind of bomb is a simple earth bomb, first dig an oblique hole on the side of the road, the direction of the hole is aimed at the direction of the enemy, then install a special iron bucket in the hole, and then put the explosives connected to the detonating device into it, and then stuff a package of steel balls prepared in advance, cover the top with soil and stones, and a simple roadside bomb is set up.

This kind of bomb is extremely powerful, and when detonated, the killing range can reach a distance of nearly 50 meters, because of the large number of steel balls and special treatment, once hit, it will basically lose its combat effectiveness.

The fifteen trucks, except for bullets and food, were basically all of them.

When the sound of the motorcycle's engine was heard, none of the eight scouts who were planting the explosives paid attention to, the sound was so familiar that it made them feel like their own.

But when the motorcycle drove only fifty or sixty meters away from them, the scouts finally realized that something was wrong.

The German scouts wore the helmets of the former dragoons on their heads for ease of identification. This helmet has a feature, with a spear head decoration at the top that reaches up to the sky, and it is immediately obvious that it is a German army when you look at it from a distance.

German scouts also discovered the scouts of the First Division, although the scouts of the First Division had their own military uniform style, the color was still the blue-gray of the French army, which was completely different from the iron gray of the German army. Coupled with the four motorcycles with sidecars on the side of the road, this has become the standard of the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion.

"Enemy attack...... "One of the 1st Division scouts shouted, half-kneeling and pulling out the Mauser pistol at his waist.

The German scouts also found out that something was wrong, this knight's driving skills were still good, he stood on the ground with one foot, pinched the brake and shook the front of the car, and the rear wheel drew a perfect semicircle on the ground, and he wanted to run when he increased the throttle.

It's late!

Woohoo Woo ......

Successive gunfire rang out, and the German scouts fifty meters away fell to the ground.

"Hurry up, hurry up, get it right." Liu Shuangxi, the squad leader, casually arranged, ran to the side of the motorcycle, picked up a Lewis machine gun, and half-bent over and trotted over to check.

Fortunately, there were no Germans nearby, but since the gunshots rang out, it wouldn't be long before Germans came to check it out.

Liu Shuangxi's attention was on the German soldier who was in a dying state, although the soldier was shot several times, but he did not die immediately, his body was still convulsing, and it was estimated that he would not live long.

Bang......

Liu Shuangxi didn't dare to be careless, and according to the habit, he still repaired the gun first, and then went over to check the body.

Sure enough, the German scout had a grenade in his hand, the safety had been opened, and as soon as the spring flicked off, the grenade would explode.

"Hehe...... Liu Shuangxi sneered twice, took the grenade first, and then began to pack up the loot that belonged to him.

The German scouts still have a lot of good things on them, rings, watches, binoculars, military medals, P08 pistols, Berkman MP18 submachine guns, etc., which are all good things. The P08 pistol, in particular, was in high demand in the souvenir exchange market, which had slowly emerged within the 1st Division, and many people wanted to get a P08 pistol at all costs.

The German scout was armed with an improved version that could fire 32 rounds of drums, which was the most sought-after, and now there were no more than fifty of them in the entire 1st Division.

Liu Shuangxi took all the valuable things from the corpse, and then stuffed the grenade that had been pulled out of the safety pin under the still warm corpse.
