Despite Marcel's excellent flying skills, his plane was hit and smoke came out, and the plane began to lose control and "whine" in the air, if Marcel chose to parachute at this time, there should be no problem.

Besides, those German troops did not shoot those French pilots who parachuted, if Marcel parachuted at this time, he could have lived, although he would have stayed in the German prisoner of war camp until the end of the war, but Marcel did not want to be a shameful prisoner of war, he gave up parachuting, he wanted to prove his honor as a soldier with his life.

More than 280 of the more than 300 French planes that came to attack the pontoon bridge on the Meuse River were shot down, only more than 30 French planes narrowly escaped the pursuit of the Luftwaffe, and the Germans only lost more than 10 planes and sacrificed more than 200 gunners, and the most important thing was that the pontoon bridge on the Meuse River was unharmed.

The air battle over the Meuse ended with a complete victory for the Germans, and immediately after the air raid, Guderian organized his troops to cross the river overnight. (True history: The air battle over the Meuse River shot down 112 French planes by ground-based anti-aircraft artillery alone.) ）

……

It is said that after Rommel informed all parties of the French air raid, he immediately drove his command car into the woods to hide, and a few minutes later, the black pressure group flew over Rommel, but these French planes did not bomb Rommel's troops, maybe Rommel's troops were hidden!

Soon the French planes flew over Rommel and headed in the direction of the Meuse, and everyone was relieved that the French planes were bombing the pontoon bridges, not them.

The French planes are in the past, and the French armored division is only a thousand meters away from Luxembourg, and Luxembourg can clearly see the numbers on the French tanks with telescopes, in fact, these French armored units have entered the range of Luxembourg.

But they can't fight at this time, because the French fleet has not yet returned, and what if those French planes are just in the middle of their fierce battle with the French armored forces! Those infantry in the open area were miserable, not to mention that Luxembourg had not yet received a report that the 67th Infantry Regiment had arrived at the designated place, so Luxembourg could only let his men prepare for battle a long time ago, and then wait for the battle order to be issued with peace of mind.

There was only one circumstance in which Luxembourg would be forced to attack in advance, and that was when the French division was about to get out of the ambush area of Luxembourg, and behind them was the village of Philippville, where only three infantry battalions were defending, and Luxembourg did not dare the French to put their tanks over.

Luxembourg is in a hurry! The French Panzer Division was not slow to advance, they only needed to walk one kilometer to reach Luxembourg, and if they continued two kilometers, they would get out of the ambush section of Luxembourg, and the outflanking troops had not yet been heard.

Luxemburg couldn't make up his mind what to do, and he immediately contacted Rommel via radio:

"Report to the division commander, the enemy's armored division is less than a thousand meters away from our department, and the 67th Infantry Regiment has not sent a message so far, please instruct."

Rommel had been observing the situation on the battlefield with the "Eye of God", the French panzer division was now within range of the ambush troops, and the outflanking troops of the 672nd Regiment still had about seven or eight kilometers to reach the designated position.

If you fight now, the French armored division is likely to immediately turn around and run, you must know that the French armored division is equipped with light and medium tanks, and the speed is quite fast, although the two infantry regiments have a lot of armored vehicles, they can't outrun the armored division! More importantly, when the infantry regiment blocks the armored division, it must first preset the position and arrange the anti-tank guns in place, otherwise it will be a suicide to seek death.

If it didn't, the French Panzer Division would have successfully passed through the ambush and then entered the village of Philipville, where the only three infantry battalions in Bismarck could stop another French infantry division.

A small choice on the battlefield is related to each other's life and death, Rommel thought about it again and again, and immediately gave a relatively safe order:

"Luxembourg, when the French armored division advances to a distance of five hundred meters from you, launch a surprise attack immediately, the enemy's tanks are the key target of annihilation, remember that if the enemy does not retreat, do not pursue, if the enemy retreats, you will lead the 25th armored division to entangle, delay the retreat of the French armored division as much as possible, and buy time for the outflanking troops."

Rommel's meaning is very clear, if the enemy comes, you will fight, if the enemy does not run, you should not chase, if the enemy escapes, you will immediately pursue, and entangle the retreating enemy, to buy time for the outflanking troops. In fact, Rommel has another meaning, that is, if you really can't encircle and annihilate this French armored division, forget it.

The Bismarck side has not yet received fire, and the infantry is certainly not advancing as fast as the armored division, and according to the speed of the French infantry division, it is likely that the Luxembourg side will be the first to start.

The French tanks roared and rolled, the roads were dusty, the shaking of the ground made the small gravel "dance" non-stop, the distance was getting closer and closer, although Luxembourg had already fought several battles, but it was the first time that such a large-scale tank battle was impossible.

All the soldiers in ambush also had pre-war tensions, dozens of anti-tank swarthy guns had been pointed at the approaching French tanks, this French armored division had a lot of tanks, a long and slippery long string, and it was conservatively estimated that there were no less than 200 French tanks. This is the first duel between armored divisions since the beginning of World War II, and it is about to be known who will die.

Suddenly, an unexpected situation happened, and all the German troops were even more nervous, including Rommel and Luxemburg, because the French panzer division suddenly stopped, and they stopped at a distance of eight hundred meters from the ambush point.

Then some French soldiers crawled out of the tanks with a curse, because the distance was too far for everyone to hear what the French army was saying, and when the French tanker trucks drove up, all the German troops understood that the French tanks had no fuel.

The war is sometimes so inexplicable, the tanks of the 11th French Panzer Division have just run out of fuel at this time, and they need to refuel before they can continue to advance, they still don't know that they have entered the ambush area of the German army, and the German army did not attack, that is because the troops who copied their rear road have not yet arrived.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If they attacked at this time, these French tanks would not even have a chance to escape, and as for the French infantry, they could not outrun the two Panzergrenadier regiments under Rommel.

Rommel's voice suddenly came from inside Luxembourg's headphones:

"Luxembourg, your good luck has come, immediately attack the French tankers and capture the French tanks as much as possible, after all, our two Panzergrenadier regiments still need some tanks, good luck."
