Chapter 306 Who Can Save You, Gallic Chicken

The sun is about to set in the west,

The end of the Anglo-French alliance was near.

On the evening of 18 May, as the sun was about to set, Commander Murphy was preoccupied with the idea that France was finished.

It was not the plane that destroyed his S35 tank, but tank No. 3 from the German tank division on the Dunkirk front.

At half past four in the afternoon, during the storming of the port of Dunkirk, which had been hastily organized before dark, the 3rd French Panzer Division encountered a counter-assault from the opponent.

Despite the fact that the enemy on the opposite side made only a little more than forty tanks, the 3rd Panzer Division was defeated.

Before the battle, the French 3rd Panzer Division was about eighteen kilometers from the port of Dunkirk.

After the battle, they retreated thirty kilometers away.

Commander Murphy's newly replaced 35 tank was also pierced by the opponent's 75mm shot from 600 meters away in the battle, killing the driver and gunner, and Commander Murphy also lost two fingers, and then the wolf bèi crawled out of the smoke tank.

In the air during the day, after the fourth air raid of the French 3rd Panzer Division, there were less than 50 tanks left in active use. But the most humiliating thing was that the entire tank division bombed the battalion, and a large number of tank crews abandoned their tanks en masse and fled because they were afraid of continuing to be attacked by the Luftwaffe.

After the Judge Advocate General's Department had shot and killed several fleeing soldiers as an example, it took several hours for the French to reorganize the remnants of the 3rd Panzer Division, which had abandoned their tanks, and to return them to the tanks for the attack.

Commander Murphy's original tank had been destroyed in an air raid, but the battlefield was full of abandoned and usable tanks, but he couldn't find a tank for the tankmen, and then he "easily" obtained an S35 tank that was still in battle.

When the grinding French reorganized their troops. The time has been picked up at 3 p.m. The fact that the Third Panzer Division, which had only more than 50 tanks to use, wanted to take Dunkirk, which had naval guns to cover it, was a joke in itself.

When the French armored division was in confusion due to continuous air raids, Guderian, sitting in the vanguard of the tanks, had already taken advantage of this opportunity to blow the sea breeze in the port of Dunkirk.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Luftwaffe made another sortie. Chasing and fighting around the 3rd Panzer Division, the British and French troops also tried their best to protect the 3rd Panzer Division, and at the same time sent bombers to bomb the German tanks in Dunkirk Harbor as much as possible.

The British and French air forces were able to fight hard, but the 3rd Panzer Division, which was in a desperate situation, could be described as "numb" at this time.

No matter how elite the troops were, they were bombed from morning to night, and they were bombed several times in a row, and their morale had already collapsed, although the remnants were reorganized. But the 3rd Panzer Division was sleepwalking all afternoon, and neither the officers nor men knew what they were supposed to do.

While the 3rd Panzer Division of the French Army was advancing in a state of "sleepwalking", the situation of the German army in the port of Dunkirk was exactly the opposite.

At three o'clock, more than 130 German tanks arrived at Dunkirk, but more than one-third of them were in poor condition. But when the French army was in disarray, Guderian only slightly reorganized his troops, sending out forty-six tanks in the best condition. Launch an active attack on the 3rd Panzer Division of the French Army, which was adjusting in the chaos.

Nearly 100 tanks fought tank battles on the plains about 20 kilometers away from the port of Dunkirk.

In this battle, Guderian only dispatched sixteen III tanks, but he became a monster of how the poor 47mm guns of the S35 tank on the battlefield could not be moved. And the 3-mm gun of tank No. 75 hit at will. But it can destroy the opponent lightly.

The British and French air forces were able to fight hard, but the 3rd Panzer Division, which was in a desperate situation, could be described as "numb" at this time.

No matter how elite the troops were, they were bombed from morning to night, and their morale collapsed long ago, and although the remnants were reorganized, the actions of the 3rd Panzer Division throughout the afternoon were like sleepwalking, and neither the officers and men knew what they should do.
