Rommel handed over Sifri to the traitors, and the 7th Panzer Division did not harass any of the citizens of Sifri, and they set out from Sifri that afternoon.

Did Rommel just come out of Shifri empty-handed? How could it be! Didn't Rommel take over the banks and museums in Sifri as soon as he entered the city? Rommel didn't want the banknotes, and all the gold and silver were loaded onto trucks and pulled away.

Sifri was the capital of the province, and the reserves of gold and silver were not small, and Rommel looted a total of 25 tons of gold and more than 100 tons of silver from the Bank of Sifri, which was enough to load 30 large trucks.

In addition, there are many works of art in France, and there are many fine works, and the collection of museums in the city of Sifri is also very rich, Rommel directly pulled tens of thousands of works of art from the museum in Sifri, and these works of art were loaded with twenty trucks, which are all looted by ordinary citizens.

The fifty truckloads of looted wealth were immediately sent directly by Rommel to the Ardennes Forest by a trustworthy person, and the Swiss bankers only needed a telegram from Rommel, and they would immediately send someone to pick up the car, and the money from the sale would be transferred to the veterans' fund by the Swiss bank.

……

Before leaving, Rommel contacted the Germans on his left and right flanks, and they were now almost at the Maginot Line, about 50 kilometers away from the 7th Panzer Division, which was nothing for the Panzer Corps, and Rommel basically could not worry about being flanked by the British and French forces.

If the Anglo-French army wants to come up and flank Rommel, then there are a total of five armored divisions on his left and right flanks, and 300,000 follow-up infantry will immediately come up and wrap dumplings for the Anglo-French troops who are flanking Rommel.

Rommel had already set a bottom line for himself in his heart, that is, the Seventh Panzer Division led by himself would never protrude more than 100 kilometers from the left and right flanks. Because this is a plain area, even if there are enemy troops blocking the five armored divisions on his left and right flanks, they should be able to advance a hundred kilometers in two or three days, and Rommel is confident that he can hold on to the same place for a week with the "Eye of God" and sufficient weapons and ammunition, so Rommel dares to protrude his troops from the left and right flanks for a hundred kilometers.

After Rommel led the 7th Panzer Division out of Sifri, he rushed along the road, and the tide of refugees in history did not appear, because the good military discipline of the 7th Panzer Division invisibly calmed the hearts of the people in Sifri, not to mention that there were those French traitors who helped to promote Germany's "benevolence", and even the routs who blocked the road did not have it, because the two French divisions had been annihilated in advance.

History has changed a little bit, and at the same time caused a corresponding change. This is the so-called butterfly wing effect.

In order to make his tanks break down as little as possible, Rommel's troops did not advance too fast, about 30 kilometers per hour, which was the best and most fuel-efficient speed for tanks on the road.

Rommel's next destination was Cambrai or Arras, Cambrai was only more than 50 kilometers from Sifry, which was also a border city, and there was a fort built next to him, and if the French had enough troops to defend it, they had to use Stuka dive bombers to destroy the French fortification.

I have to say that the Stuka dive bomber, when the plane dives, the screaming sound is breathtaking, the most important thing is to destroy the will of the soldiers to resist, and the most important thing is that the Stuka bomber can carry a thousand kilograms of heavy aerial bombs.

This heavy aerial bomb was specially designed by the Germans to destroy strong fortifications, and its detonation fuse was not a trigger, but a delayed fuse, and its top was a piercing part made of tungsten steel.

This heavy aerial bomb weighing 1,000 kg is to use gravitational acceleration and dive acceleration to penetrate reinforced concrete fortifications, which can penetrate three meters of reinforced concrete, and the destructive power of the explosion is four meters of reinforced concrete thickness. There are only a few of them!

Although the power of the Stuka bomber is huge, because his body is too heavy, so his maneuverability is extremely poor, if the opponent has a fighter, even if it is a wooden propeller plane in World War I, he can easily beat Stuka down, in the absence of air supremacy, sending Stuka to bomb the enemy, is the act of delivering food, which also limits the scope of Stuka's use.

No weapon is perfect, depending on what you focus on. Or what do you want this weapon to do, these needs determine the performance of the weapon, because the manufacturer must develop the weapon according to your needs.

(During the Second World War, aerial bombs developed rapidly, and new types of aerial bombs such as cluster bombs, sub-bombs, armor-piercing bombs, and napalm incendiary bombs appeared, and the weight of aerial bombs also reached several tons.) Britain had built a 10-ton "Grand Slam" bomb, which was dropped on 14 March 1945 by a Lancaster heavy bomber that blew up the Bielefeld Elevated Railway in Germany. The "Grand Slam" is still the heaviest aerial bomb in the world ever used in real combat. ）

Soon after Rommel and his departure from Sifry, they encountered some French positions, but the French troops stationed in the positions immediately raised their hands obediently when they saw hundreds of rumbling No. 4 tanks.

At this time, Rommel had time to capture them, and Rommel directly asked them to put all the small arms on the road, and then use tanks to run them over, as for artillery or something, Rommel really couldn't take so much, so he could only blow them up.

As for the captured French officers and soldiers, Rommel directly asked these prisoners to go to the fortress with food to report. Even if they want to escape, Rommel can't care so much, he just doesn't know if they can escape, because Guderian's armored fifteenth army is on Rommel's left flank, and if these prisoners want to escape to the heart of France, most of them will meet Guderian unexpectedly, and then they will be captured.

Rommel also had some small positions from Sifri to Cambrai, and the French troops in small positions fired at Rommel's advancing tank columns, and as a result, they were annihilated on the spot, due to the erroneous command of the commander-in-chief of the Anglo-French forces, Ganmalin, the main forces of the Anglo-French forces were either on the way to retreat or in the territory of the three Low Countries, and there were almost no large formed forces on the front of the 7th Panzer Division.

One general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies, the commander-in-chief of the Anglo-French coalition army is such a mediocre talent, the total strength of the Anglo-French coalition army plus the three lowland countries is more than 6 million, and the total strength of the German army participating in the offensive is only 3.4 million, the battle is still fought for him like this, woo hoo lament.
