The Germans are indeed disciplined, and if they say they surrender, they will really surrender, and they will never surrender and rebel.

In Chinese parlance, it means: words count.

Just after Ludwig von Schroeder handed over the command knife to Chen Kangjian, thousands of Germans, guided by the infantry of the armored forces, handed over their weapons in an orderly manner, and then returned to the barracks to await further processing.

There was no resistance, no fists and kicks, no angry eyes, just like a normal handover during commuting, and the Germans calmly accepted the result.

Maybe the war has been going on for too long, and people are tired. Both the Germans and the French, they wanted to end the war.

While the war would not end with the surrender of thousands of Germans, for these Germans, their war was over.

And as the victors' armored regiments, their war continues.

Almost as soon as all the Germans were put into the camp, the Panzer Regiment ushered in the next wave of Germans.

This time it was the 20th Infantry Division, which had been rushed over from Reims to reinforce it, and they were part of the 14th Reserve Corps of the 17th Army.

Generally speaking, a division has about 17,000 people, and if these people march in formation, the line can stretch for about two kilometers.

The 20th Infantry Division came in a hurry, and their vanguard was a cavalry force of about 500 men, which was probably the only cavalry unit in this infantry division.

When a cavalryman on horseback meets a second-generation "cavalryman" who drives a tank, the disadvantage of the generation difference in weapons is obvious.

On the plain on the side of Tadenoy facing Reims, hundreds of cavalry hesitated as they looked at the nearly 100 tanks waiting in front of them.

Escaping is not escaping, Crown Prince William is waiting for their rescue more than ten kilometers away, they can't escape, and they don't dare to escape. But the attack also seemed unlikely, because it was a cavalry unit, and in order to quickly transfer into them, they were not equipped with artillery, and the weapons they could use were only the saber on their waists, except for the cavalry rifles on their backs, and there was no way to deal with tanks.

When the first tanks appeared on the battlefield of the Somme, it marked the decline of the traditional cavalry. But there will always be people who do not believe in evil and insist on using traditional cavalry to reject tanks, such as the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, Haig, who is a general who adheres to traditional cavalry.

There are still many such people, so much so that in another time and space, in World War II, more than 20 years later, there are still some countries that are forced or stubbornly insist on forming cavalry units. In September 1939, German war correspondents reported that Polish cavalry used broadswords and spears against German tanks, a "myth" that could never have happened with a butt was accepted by both sides. The Germans saw pride and achievement in it, the Poles saw bravery and loyalty in it, and as for those who spread rumors, God knows what they saw.

As long as he was not a fool, he would not use cavalry to attack the armored forces, and the cavalry commander of the Germans was obviously not stupid, he led the cavalry to the flank of the armored position, giving up the offensive to the infantry.

"Thick skin and long blood bars" is only one of the advantages of armored forces, and mobile assault is the core advantage of armored forces.

Therefore, Chen Kangjian did not wait for the Germans to unfold the artillery they carried, and immediately ordered the tank troops to launch a surprise attack.

During the exercises in the Errani area, the artillery under Liu Zizheng created the myth of two minutes to unfold the artillery position, and the German artillery clearly did not meet this standard. This does not mean that the artillery under Liu Zizheng is more professional than the German artillery, but the Germans do not have enough time, and the mere selection of artillery positions cannot be completed in two minutes.

What's more, the tanks commanded by Chen Kangjian were still fighting while walking, which made the situation look even more urgent, so that the artillerymen were in a hurry, and before they could set up the garrison hoes, the tanks of the armored forces had already rushed to the artillery.

How can this be fought?

Can't fight!

The generational advantage of weapons is so obvious, the traditional infantry units are vulnerable in front of the armored forces, and there is no ability to resist at all. The cavalry troops simply found an opportunity to attack, so they had no choice but to leave.

Well, the traditional cavalry finally had an advantage over the armored forces, and their horses ran relatively fast. This was only temporary, and soon, the traditional cavalry would not be able to maintain this advantage. Even now, if you run long distances, the war horses still can't outrun the tanks, but Chen Kangjian's troops were given the task of jamming the Tadenoy Pass, not annihilating these cavalry, so that they could escape.

More than 10,000 prisoners of war were added to the prisoner-of-war camps, and the three regimental camps were packed.

The organization and discipline of the Germans were once again in full force, and they spontaneously maintained order in the prisoner of war camp according to their previous ranks, without making trouble, without tandem, everything was normal, and even the medical corps continued to treat the wounded soldiers who had been wounded in the previous battle.

The Germans looked at these guards with little hatred or disgust in their eyes, and some were only mixed with a hint of curiosity and calm. When the soldiers in charge of the guards helped the German medics find some medicine, there was a hint of gratitude in these eyes.

Because the Germans ran out of resources, they only had a small amount of medicine in the troops, and even the bandages were made of paper, and the medicine could only be used in small quantities when the officers were wounded.

Because France has relatively smooth access to the sea, there is still no shortage of material resources, and medicines are more abundant.

What France lacks is human resources, so the Chinese will be valued, so since he arrived in Paris, he didn't do anything serious, and Pershing, who knew that he wanted things every day, became an uncle.

Qin Zhiyuan is now a celebrity in front of the French Minister of War Leoté and the French Commander-in-Chief Foch, and the logistics butler Bruno Garcia is Qin Zhiyuan's buddy and partner.

So when a soldier in charge of the guard tried to hand a piece of chocolate distributed by the military department to a prisoner of war who looked to be only 17 or 8 years old and was obviously a little malnourished, the Germans looked even more grateful.

This is the perfect occasion for prestige, so after asking for instructions, a truckload of all kinds of food is delivered straight in, from chocolate to tobacco to all kinds of canned goods, except for alcoholic beverages.

There is a reason for not giving alcohol, who knows if these Germans drink well or not, in case someone drinks too much and goes crazy, at this special time and special place, maybe it will be an irreparable mistake, and then the good thing that was originally a prestige will become a tragedy of bad character.

The nutritious chocolate was immediately sent to the wounded barracks, and even the prisoners who carried the boxes looked malnourished, but no one took a piece to eat for themselves.

The soldiers in charge of guarding the prisoners of war became stevedores, which was their old profession and they were very good at it.

Although the soldiers felt normal, their actions earned the standard and neat military salute of hundreds of officers, including Ludwig von Schroeder.

Well, the soldiers in charge of guarding the prisoner of war camp were just ordinary people, and they were a little helpless when they paid their respects to the neatly arranged officer ranks.

These salutes are undoubtedly sincere.
