If these five French divisions had abandoned their original positions as soon as Rommel had crossed the Meuse, and then immediately blew up control of the railroad east of the village of Philipville, and then they all retracted back to the Maginot Line, then it would not have been so easy for Rommel to break through the Maginot Line easily.

If the French army abandoned the village of Philippville, it would mean abandoning the railway line from France to Belgium, and would abandon the 35 Anglo-French divisions that had entered Belgium. The 147 Anglo-French divisions that entered the Three Low Countries, even if they gave up these 35 divisions, they could still preserve 112 divisions, which was more cost-effective than buying and selling, but Ganmalin did not have the courage, which doomed the tragedy of the Anglo-French army.

(The Maginot Line, which was located on the German-French border, was facing Germany, and the French defense line on the borders with Belgium and Luxembourg was called the Maginot Line.) ）

Originally, the defense line of the Maginot Line was still quite complete and strong, and the French army also stationed a large number of troops on the Makinot Line, but Gammelin fell for the trick of the "Yellow Plan", and he transferred a large number of troops stationed on the Maginot Line to the three Low Countries (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg), resulting in the garrison on the Maginot Line being almost empty.

The six elite armored divisions of the German army are killing him in the rear, in this case he still wants to retreat with his whole body, Gan Molin is a typical example of this can't give up, that can't give up, this kind of person doesn't lose all the troops in his hands.

Rommel probed his surroundings and slowly opened his eyes, while Bismarck and Hans were arguing at school:

"Deputy division commander, I think we should defend on the spot at this time, wait for the 15th Panzer Army and the 41st Panzer Army to cross the river, and then launch an attack on the premise that our left and right flanks are guaranteed."

Hans, the chief of staff, was a talented student of a military academy, and he wore a pair of glasses, much like a scholar. Bismarck was a standard soldier, and he spoke much louder:

"Chief of Staff, we should attack immediately, we have plenty of ammunition and fuel in our hands."

Hans was still not in a hurry, and he did not directly contradict Bismarck, but asked rhetorically:

"Deputy division commander, then where shall we fight? The group army did not give an order, or sent a telegram asking for instructions after the division commander woke up. ”

Rommel walked up to them and said with a smile:

"Two brothers, don't argue, I decided to attack immediately, and I didn't stop at night, and rushed through the Maginot Line in one go."

At this time, even the deputy division commander of Bismarck, who advocated the attack, was stunned, according to Bismarck's understanding, they only rushed fifteen kilometers away from Sedan, and took the village of Philipville, so as to cut off the retreat of hundreds of thousands of British and French troops into Belgium, this is an undefeated tactic!

If according to the tactics of the division commander Rommel to attack, attack, and attack again, the Seventh Panzer Division is extremely dangerous, and after passing the Maginot Line, it really entered the heart of France, and an armored division dared to rush to the heart of France. This is the brother of a whole armored division.

Hans and Bismarck immediately said in unison:

"If you can't say a very good understanding, I firmly disagree with the division commander's tactics."

Rommel could well say: "There are opinions that can be reserved, but orders must be carried out." "But Rommel is not the kind of person who is dictatorial, Hans and Bismarck are his right-hand men, when Rommel commanded the positions on the front, the overall planning and coordination of the whole division depended on the two of them, the Seventh Panzer Division's attack was smooth and stable, and Hans and Bismarck contributed a lot.

So Rommel patiently explained to the two of them:

"If you look at the map, it's only fifteen kilometers from us to the village of Philipville, and now there are five enemy divisions coming to the village of Philipville, and where they want to block us, let's see why they are desperate to do so.

Let's see what's behind the village of Philipville? Maginot Petit Line. Fifty-five kilometers from the village of Philipville, we can see from this that the enemy is trying to hold us back, so that we can calmly deploy or increase our forces in the Little Maginot Line.

Two brothers, don't look at the Maginot Line, he is also very strong, once the enemy is deployed in the Makinot Line, we are trying to break him, I am afraid it will not be easy, so I decided to attack overnight, and when we break through the Machinot Line, we will stop and rest. ”

Bismarck and Rommel were good friends when they were in the Führer's Guard, and he didn't have so many scruples when he spoke:

"Division commander, how do you know that there are 5 French divisions rushing to the village of Philipville, and the chief of staff and I have been staying at the command headquarters all the time, and we have never received such information, you are simply fooling people here."

Hans should also say:

"Yes! Divisional commander, we really don't have any information to prove the five French divisions you mentioned! ”

How did Rommel explain to the two brothers, if he can't explain it, he must explain it!

"God told me when I was sleeping."

Rommel can only open his eyes and tell nonsense, which is also a matter of no way, and he cannot tell anyone about the fact that he has the "eye of God".

Bismarck became angry, and in his dream, God told him what it was! It's just, this is completely disregarding the life and death of more than 10,000 brothers under his command.

"You, who do you think you are! Are you God's illegitimate child? And God told you that you are blindly commanding, and you are irresponsible to the brothers of the whole army. ”

Hans hurriedly pulled the thunderous Bismarck, in the German army, the hierarchy was very tight, and it was extremely rare for Bismarck to directly insult his superiors, and this was usually the result of dismissal or court-martial.

Hans hurriedly played a round:

"Commander, this is unacceptable! Let's wait for the troops on the left and right flanks to come and attack together! ”

Rommel smiled:

"Or else! It's only five o'clock now, let's take the village of Philipville first, if we really encounter five French divisions there, then my judgment is right, let's attack overnight, if there are no five French divisions, let's rest in the village of Philipville, waiting for the left and right flanks to come up and attack. ”

When Hans and Bismarck heard this, this plan was still very safe, Bismarck had also planned to cut off the railway in the village of Philipville, and both of them nodded, which was considered to be agreed, but Rommel spoke again:

"Colonel Bismarck, in view of your disrespect to the commander just now, when the French battle is over, go to the confinement room for three days!"

"If you stay for three days, you will go to heaven, as long as what you say is true, even if you stay in the confinement room for a year, I have no regrets."

"Facts speak louder than words, and Highway 15 is just around the corner."

Instead of laughing, Rommel returned to his unsmiling face, and he turned to his adjutant Wald, who was behind him, and said:
