With a 'Peng' sound, Admiral Guderian's fist slammed on the map table: "It can't be like this anymore, such a slow march, by the time we reach Compiègne, the Nantes army will have already set up a defensive line on the Seine." ”

Admiral Guderian, who could no longer stand the rapid advance, immediately ordered: "Order all tank units to carry as much fuel as possible, tie oil drums to the hull, and break away from the infantry and follow me quickly." ”

"General, this is too dangerous." A staff officer advised: "Vehicles that are separated from infantry operations are easy to be destroyed by the enemy because of lack of cover, not to mention that the tanks are even more vulnerable to oil drums." ”

Guderian said: "There is no time, now we must fight, otherwise the Nantes Empire has enough time to prepare, and our chances of victory will be much smaller." Immediately inform us of our orders, and within half an hour all the chariot units were set out. ”

"Yes, General." Despite some opinions, the staff officer carried out the order.

In the afternoon, the chariot units of the Yaman Army broke away from the infantry and logistical supply vehicles, each with several large oil drums strapped to them, and rushed south at full speed. Admiral Guderian adopted a configuration similar to that of an airplane carrying auxiliary fuel tanks in an air battle, with the tank unit advancing with a large number of oil barrels, and when approaching the battlefield, the remaining oil barrels and fuel were discarded to prevent them from being hit in battle and damaging their own vehicles.

A group of Nantes soldiers smoked cigarettes and prioritized carrying all kinds of supplies, as the defender of Maubage City, although the big war was approaching at this time, he was also very relaxed, because according to the calculations of his superiors, the army of the Central Powers was still a long way from here.

Because the top brass believed that they had plenty of time, their preparations for war were naturally lazy, and half of the troops were digging fortifications outside the city, and half were sorting out logistics supplies.

"When do you think the Confederate forces will come?" A Nantes soldier lowered his shovel and stepped on the sweat that had already reached his neck.

Another soldier also threw down his shovel and joked: "The terrain in the Ardennes is so complicated, I'm afraid it will take a year for them to come over, and they can only come over a group of light infantry, what do we have to be afraid of." Don't do it, don't do it, it's useless to dig out trenches, it's better to fight light infantry and let the chariot troops get on it, or you don't need artillery bombardment, in short, they will collapse all at once. ”

At that moment, there was a sudden dust in the distance, and some soldiers quickly spotted one, and they stood up and watched curiously at the smoke and dust that was approaching in the distance. A sharp-eyed Nantes soldier saw the dark chariot flashing in the dust, and he shouted: "It's the troops of the Confederates, they're coming." ”

"What? How could it be so fast? Another soldier screamed, he had already pounced on his rifle leaning against the edge of the trench, but it was too late. The alarm bell rang in the city, but the chariot troops of the Arman army were so fast that before the Nantes army could enter the dug position, Guderian's chariot had already driven up the avenue of the city.

Admiral Guderian's adventure proved to be very worthwhile, the Nantes army did not expect the Arman army to advance so quickly, the defenders of Maubogge were caught off guard and quickly crushed, and then Furmmy and Laon all descended in a cluster, and with the rumbling sound of tracks, the rapidly advancing Arman chariot troops pointed straight to the Seine.

The Nantes army, which had withdrawn from the Empress of Haste, had reluctantly organized a temporary defensive line on the Seine, in an attempt to stop the attack here. The tank units of the Second Army, which had arrived on the north bank of the Seine, did not rest at all, and under Guderian's strict orders, this advance force asked for air support from the rear, and at the same time used all the weapons capable of crossing the river to carry out a long-range attack on the Nantes line.

After learning of the battle situation of the Second Army, the headquarters of the Yaman Army immediately ordered all the planes that could participate in the battle to take off and bomb the Seine defense line. The Golden Eagle 4 fighters, which had just been delivered to the Yaman Army, were the fastest, and they were the first to arrive on the battlefield under the control of the Yaman fighter pilots.

The 127-millimeter rockets and 23-millimeter cannon shells were intensively poured down on the positions of the Nantes Army, so that the Nantes Army could not raise its head, and the Nantes Army's Sonia 406 fighters that came to intercept them were too slow to be the opponents of the Golden Eagle 4 fighters, and they were shot down one after another at the first moment. Then the huge Kunpeng 2 bomber was also late, and huge aerial bombs were scattered in a series on the positions of the Nantes army, blowing up the trenches dug in a hurry, and the Nantes army rushed to pieces.

Taking advantage of the other party's panic, the Yaman army sappers immediately began to erect the pontoon bridge, because the equipment for erecting the pontoon bridge had not yet been transported, the pontoon bridge temporarily erected by the sappers was not enough to allow the Grizzly Bear 2 tank weighing more than 30 tons to pass.

The bridges over the Seine have been blown up by the Nantes army, and only this pontoon bridge can be crossed, Admiral Guderian knows that speed is the key to victory at this time, and only by constantly pursuing and not giving the other side a chance to breathe can he destroy the other party as soon as possible, so he decided to take another risk.

An hour later, more than a hundred SDFKZ221 wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles, which had just gotten rid of the quagmire terrain of the Ardennes Forest just a few days earlier, and the only ten Weasel 1 light combat vehicles that could travel in the water, were gathered together, and the mixed force passed the pontoon bridge under the personal leadership of Admiral Guderian.

In order to strengthen his combat capability, Guderian brought with him only six 52-mm and seventeen 37-mm anti-tank guns, which were attached to the back of the SDFKZ221 wheeled armored vehicle, which weighed less than four tons. Having taken as much fuel as possible, the increasingly lightweight armored force immediately moved at full speed towards the city of Compiègne.

As General Guderian expected, the remnants of Nantes, defending the Seine line, had just retreated to the city of Compiègne, and before they had time to reorganize and restore their formation, they were suddenly attacked by the Armans, and the result can be imagined.

The defenders of Nantes, who had already lost their formation and could not be defeated, collapsed again, and the local defenders were also confused, and continued to retreat south with the rest of the defeated army, they retreated too hastily, and abandoned all the supplies in the city to the Second Army of the Yaman Army, which was chasing after them.

The supplies were received by the Yaman Army, which refilled Guderian's already scarce fuel and captured more than 400 Renault 35 and Renault 39 vehicles. This batch of captured tanks greatly expanded the arsenal of the Second Army, and Guderian immediately sent a report to the headquarters, asking the Air Force to parachute a group of tankers for him, so that these captured weapons could be put into operation.
