If you don't attack, you can't do it! The French reinforcements were less than thirty kilometers from the beachhead, and the French troops on the second line of defense were just in a state of flux, and this was the best time to attack, and the fighters were fleeting, and Rommel certainly would not be so stupid.

The commander-in-chief of the French 9th Army, Admiral Giron, was at this time in his headquarters, and was constantly calling for reinforcements, and he reported to the commander-in-chief of the Anglo-French forces, Gambler, that as many as 2,000 Germans were crossing the river.

This is the real history, and I don't know if it was the melee soldier who reported to Giraud that he had found 2,000 German tanks crossing the river, perhaps the French commander at the beachhead infinitely exaggerated the German armored forces in order to shirk his responsibility, in fact, Rommel only had 218 tanks in his hands, and only more than 20 tanks crossed the river, while the French Ninth Army had at least 300 tanks.

Girod has three divisions in his hands, including an armored division, such a powerful force, Girod actually doesn't want to defend, because the German army on the opposite side has more than 2,000 tanks! Girod was really scared, if it weren't for Gan Molin's strict order to defend the line, Girod would have slipped away.

Suddenly, the command broke into a French soldier covered in blood, who looked terrifying, his clothes had been torn apart by the shock wave of the shell explosion, and he had countless wounds on his body, which were gurgling out of blood.

As soon as the French soldier entered the door, he whined and wept and reported:

"It's over, it's all over, Germany...... The Germans have a lot of tanks! An infantry regiment of our division was annihilated by the Germans in the blink of an eye, Commander! The Germans' heavy artillery hit so accurately, as long as our machine gun position opened fire for less than a minute, it would be immediately sent into the sky by the Germans' artillery, and our tanks were not the opponents of the Germans at all, and one was destroyed when one rushed out...... Woowoo...... The division commander said that he could not stand it anymore and asked for reinforcements...... Poof. ”

The French soldier who reported the news did not finish his sentence and passed out on the ground. Their commander, Giron, was already stupid at this time, and he was still hairy in this situation! The Germans' tanks and artillery were so powerful that his Ninth Army couldn't stop them at all! At this time, do not retreat and return more when, to immediately retreat.

……

Rommel commanded twenty-four tanks, four 88-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and a motorized rifle battalion to begin the offensive against the French. As soon as the attacking troops set off, Rommel was in the command vehicle and made contact with his heavy artillery group by radio station.

While observing the positions of the French army with his "eye of God", Rommel commanded his 150 mm heavy artillery group to start shelling the second line of defense of the French army, and the heavy artillery in Rommel's hands were all German more advanced 150 mm K18 howitzers, which had a range of 24.5 kilometers, which could completely cover the second line of defense of the French army.

Rommel's tank troops were still on the way to attack, and his artillery began to exert its might, and the various fortifications and mortars and machine guns of the French army really suffered, and the coordinates reported by Rommel were accurate, and the quality of the German artillery was one of the best, and the accuracy of the German artillery was obvious to all.

The second line of defense of the French army was immediately blown to the ground by the heavy German artillery, and the power of a 150-mm shell was not small, the shrapnel of the shell explosion killed two hundred meters at a distance, and the fatal damage of the shock wave was ten meters.

For example, if a 150 mm shell falls within 10 meters of you, even if you lie on the ground, the shock wave and sound wave generated by the explosion of the shell will also break your internal organs, which is also a dead end. If the shell explodes at a distance of ten to twenty meters from you, the person will also suffer minor injuries.

At this time, the French positions were completely covered by Rommel's heavy artillery, and the German artillery fire was fierce and accurate, while the French army was completely bombed, and their artillery positions had long been destroyed by Rommel's own artillery.

The French army began to fall into chaos, such a fierce and accurate artillery fire is not something that an undetermined army like France can withstand, and the German heavy artillery does not cover a large area, but only a long concentrated bombardment of a certain area, which undoubtedly gives those French troops a chance to escape from the terrible shelling, a soldier escapes, often can lead a group of people with broken will to escape, and the French army on the second line of defense collapsed without warning, not to mention those noble-born officers, they ran faster than the soldiers, because they had cars.

As soon as the officers ran away, the soldiers ran faster, and Rommel's "Eye of God" immediately discovered the collapse of the French army, and he immediately ordered his few heavy artillery to chase after the collapsed French bombardment, these French troops fled all over the mountains, and a dozen 150 mm heavy guns in Rommel's hands could kill dozens of French troops fleeing all over the mountains!

Rommel didn't want to kill more people, he was intensifying and transmitting the panic of the French army, only when the enemy's will to resist completely collapsed, when the panic was transmitted to every French soldier, then Rommel would sweep through the past as in history, and Rommel's promotion at this time was more complicated and dangerous than in history, because his left and right flanks had not yet caught up, and he arrived at the designated position one day earlier than others, so Rommel deliberately continued to create panic in the French army.

Luxemburg, the commander of the 25th Panzer Regiment, led 24 tanks all the way to the second line of defense of the French army, and the French position at this time was already in a mess, in addition to those bombed fortifications, there were countless guns and ammunition, and some corpses that were blown up beyond recognition, of course, the wounded French soldiers who were still shouting for help, they had been abandoned by their own people.

Rommel's 168 command tanks and four 88-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns together, they hung behind the tanks and did not enter the second line of defense of the French army. Rommel's adjutant ****** has always been by Rommel's side, ****** now admires Rommel's sixth sense so much, this is amazing, his division commander Rommel is simply God's favorite, he actually has such a magical and accurate sixth sense.

Therefore, ****** swore in his heart that he must record the words and deeds of his division commander Rommel for future generations, and ****** has affirmed in his heart that his division commander Rommel will become the greatest general in the world, and will surpass all military masters in history and become an existence that everyone looks up to.

At this moment, the voice of Luxemburg, the commander of the 25th Panzer Division, came over the radio:

"Report to the division commander, I am a falcon, and I have broken through the second line of defense of the French army and asked for the next order."

Although Rommel sat in the command car, in fact, he was not relaxed, his "Eye of God" has hardly stopped since it was launched, which is very mentally draining, Rommel has already felt some fatigue at this time, and the choice and thinking of tactics will also consume Rommel's mental and physical strength, no matter what aspect, Rommel has not been easy to reopen.
