The fist unit of the 7th Panzer Division is fully mechanized, even the infantry is in vehicles, not a single infantry is on foot, and the mobility of this unit is not ordinarily strong, but very strong, with a maneuver distance of at least 30 kilometers per hour.

The armored units of the 7th Panzer Division galloped all the way towards the two bridges over the Somme, and Rommel clearly remembered that the French did not blow up the two bridges on the Somme for the needs of the counteroffensive.

As long as Rommel took the two bridges over the Somme, his 7th Panzer Division would be the first to break through the Somme, and the 10th Army, which had just been formed by the French army, would be cut off by Rommel's 7th Panzer Division.

On the march at night, there must have been a little difficulty, not to mention that during the war, the roads were more or less damaged, and Rommel set out from eight o'clock in the evening and arrived at ten kilometers from the Somme at five o'clock in the morning the next day.

Rommel stopped the entire armored force, and then Rommel called Luxembourg in front of him:

"Division commander, Luxembourg is here to report, please instruct."

Now Luxembourg admires Rommel to the core, and their division commander Rommel will give them unexpected victories every time, and it is a hearty victory, and it is difficult for Luxembourg not to admire.

In the French campaign, the 7th Panzer Division only used minor losses in exchange for an incomparably huge victory, more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles were captured, and high-quality tanks and armored vehicles were reorganized into an armored regiment by Rommel, and it can be said that the 7th Panzer Division is the only armored division in the German army with two panzer regiments, with more than 400 tanks of various types.

The capture of other weapons and equipment simply armed the 7th Panzer Division to the teeth, such as 150 mm heavy guns, and Rommel expanded a whole regiment. There were only more than 90 half-track armored vehicles in other divisions, and the 7th armored division had more than 200 armored vehicles of various types, each armored vehicle was equipped with two Maxine water-cooled heavy machine guns, which made Rommel's half-track armored vehicles fire fierce and continuous.

Another example is communications, the radio stations of the Seventh Armored Division have been equipped with platoon-level units, which is unimaginable in World War II, when there was a general lack of communication tools, these radio stations make the communication command of the Seventh Armored Division more efficient and effective, and the unparalleled firepower of the Seventh Armored Division will be more effective.

As the first-line commander of the armored forces, Luxemburg can clearly feel the increase in the strength of his armored forces, all of which was brought by the division commander Rommel, and it is natural for Luxemburg to admire Rommel.

"Colonel Luxembourg, you gather the French tanks we have captured, and then go to attack the bridges on the Somme, you must grab the two bridges on the Somme intact, once we break through the Somme, other troops will swarm in from these two bridges, and the French Weygand defense line will be self-defeating."

Luxemburg instantly understood the intention of the division commander Rommel - to drive the French tanks to attack the bridge where the French were stationed, this method must be good, you must know that Rommel and the French tanks they captured have not had time to change the logo until now.

"Division commander, do you want us to put on the clothes of the French army?"

"No problem."

Luxembourg immediately went down to prepare, he now has more than 200 French tanks of various types, most of them are Soma 35 of the same grade as the No. 4 tank, and he also has more than 100 half-track armored vehicles in his hands, the firepower of the two Maxine heavy machine guns on the armored car is very strong, and each armored car can also carry a squad of soldiers.

With such a large force, there is a great chance of success in sneaking up on the two bridges defended by the French army. The French army really did not have a strong will to fight, which may have something to do with the fact that they expanded their army too quickly.

Tonight there is no bright moon in the sky except for a few stars, the whole heaven and earth are almost pitch black, Rommel's "Eye of God" has no effect, Rommel can't help Luxembourg at all, everything can only rely on himself.

Luxemburg, after receiving Rommel's order, immediately went to prepare, and half an hour later Luxembourg set off with his troops, and Rommel waited for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and at the same time prepared for the storming of the Somme tomorrow, as a precaution in case the Luxembourg raid failed.

Luxembourg found more than 130 French tanks this time, and it was the infantry of the 7th Panzer Division who drove these French tanks, and these tank crews were almost all rookies, and in order to ensure the success of the raid, Luxembourg replaced all these rookies with tank crews of the 25th Armored Regiment to drive these French tanks.

Needless to say, the tank veterans of the 25th Armored Regiment are not only well-trained, but also very skilled in combat skills, after all, they have been tested several times in actual combat.

Luxembourg swaggered with the Panzer Regiment to the two bridges over the Somme, which were about 500 meters apart and could be taken at once.

Luxemburg now drove French tanks and armored vehicles, and wore French clothes, which is why he dared to drive so swaggering towards the Somme, and all the vehicles were driving with their lights on.

When it was five kilometers from the Somme, everything went smoothly and without any problems, Luxembourg led the armored forces to continue walking, and at three kilometers from the Somme, Luxembourg met the first French checkpoint.

"Stop, you're part of that."

Luxemburg sat in the first tank, wearing the uniform of a French colonel, and he leaned out of the top window of the tank and glanced around a few times.

The inspection was neither big nor small, they had built two cement bunkers on both sides of the road, and there were two 37mm anti-tank guns on the cement bunkers, and the exact number of French troops were stationed at the checkpoint, the estimated size of a company in Luxembourg.

With a checkpoint of this size, Luxembourg will definitely not be able to solve all the French troops without guns, as long as the guns are moved, then Luxembourg's surprise attack will fail, since it cannot use guns, it can only be inspected, of course, Luxembourg is well prepared.

In charge of the checkpoint was a French army major, who saw the rank of colonel on the Luxembourg shirt leaning out half of his body, and hurriedly put his feet together and gave Luxembourg a military salute with a "snap":

"Mr. Colonel, please show your ID."

Luxemburg slowly climbed out of the tank and said:

"Those Germans are really damned, our 3rd Armored Division almost couldn't break out, God forbid, tonight the moon is dark and the stars are sparse, we finally slipped out of the encirclement of the Germans."

After Luxemburg's words were finished, he also jumped from the tank to the ground, then took out a document from his jacket pocket and handed it to the French major at the checkpoint:

After reading Luxembourg's papers, the French major immediately and respectfully returned them to Luxemburg, and then said:
