Eleven. Hey! Ernst!
The tank has finally appeared!
Two "Mark I" tanks appeared in front of the position.
If it weren't for Wang Weiyi's advance, maybe the German soldiers of the third company would have panicked when they suddenly saw these two steel monsters at this time.
The advent of any new weapon, especially in the age of hot weapons, will always achieve great results, both on the battlefield and on the psychological impact on the opposing soldiers.
But that's not going to happen now.
The third company quickly dispersed to both sides, and Wang Weiyi and Sergeant Hall lay quietly in the trench with two bundles of grenades tied up in their hands.
It's a pity that there is no artillery support, otherwise these two tanks can be eliminated more quickly, Wang Weiyi really wants to call Xiaoling for support, but think maybe it's not the time yet. There was only one tank support, and it was a shame that it was used so early. God knows what will be more dangerous in the future.
The sound of "Kalala" was getting closer and closer, and the tank was crushing towards the position as if no one was around.
"Lieutenant, it's close!"
That was the cry of Adolf Hitler.
Wang Weiyi knew that Hitler was worried about him, so he smiled at Hitler slightly, and there was no fear in his face.
It has gradually driven to the front of the position.
Wang Weiyi made a gesture, and then he and Sergeant Hall pulled the fuse of the grenade.
The grenade was "simmering" with green smoke, Wang Weiyi counted silently in his heart, and suddenly shouted: "Now! ”
The two bundles of grenades were sent forward together, and at the moment when the tank was about to crush the position, Wang Weiyi and Sergeant Hall rolled to both sides together.
After the two loud noises of "boom, boom", the two steel monsters that were still showing off their might stopped moving forward in a flash
"Fire!"
Without any pause, Wang Weiyi suddenly rolled over from the ground, raised the submachine gun in his hand and fired at the British who were trying to rely on the power of the tank to seize the position.
The Mauser rifle and the Makqin heavy machine gun opened fire at the same time as Wang Weiyi's submachine gun
The British, who had seen the power of tanks and had relied on them to capture several German positions, had now suffered a big loss.
They did not doubt the combat effectiveness of the tanks in the slightest, and they were even sure that the Germans would scatter in front of the tanks. So they did not think at all that the Germans would have a way to blow up the tank and still be able to return fire at the first time.
The British were swept down in a large area, and the rest watched in amazement as the tank was destroyed, and it took a long time to react, and under the blow of the dense fire of the third company, they turned around and ran away.
Several grizzled tankmen crawled out of their tanks, but they were quickly met with German fire.
The 3rd Company managed to hold its position.
A cheer rang out from the position, and Adolf Hitler waved his rifle and cheered like a child.
The battle was so beautiful that only one man from the 3rd Company was wounded, but they managed to destroy two enemy tanks and kill at least twenty Britons.
Looking at the cheering soldiers, looking at Adolf Hitler, who was also cheering, Wang Weiyi unconsciously blurted out:
"Hey! The third in a row! ”
The soldiers of the third company were stunned for a moment, and then said happily in unison: "Hey! Ernst! ”
Hey! Ernst - Lieutenant Ernst Bream and the 3rd Company performed a miracle on the battlefield: they did not panic in the slightest in the battle when the enemy used new weapons, but showed their steadfast courage and successfully repelled the enemy's attack.
"Hey! Ernst! Hey! Ernst! ”
Of all the people, Adolf Hitler was the loudest.
Uh-In this piece of voice, Wang Weiyi couldn't cry or laugh, he just said this sentence in passing, who would have thought that he would get such a strong response from the soldiers.
Looking at Hitler, who screamed the loudest, Wang Weiyi suddenly thought of hey! Ernst: Hey! Hitler
Could it be that from this day on, such cheers took root in Hitler's mind?
Wang Weiyi didn't know what to say, he couldn't guess what was going to happen in the future
"Lieutenant, someone is looking for you." At this time Boncrere took a German officer with him.
This is a young and handsome lieutenant.
The first time he saw the lieutenant, Wang Weiyi felt a little familiar, and he seemed to have seen this person somewhere.
"Camp Fontenberg Hill, Erwin Rommel."
When he heard this name, Wang Weiyi's head "boomed".
Erwin Rommel? The future "Desert Fox", Erwin Rommel, known as the "Great General"?
Wang Weiyi froze for a moment, and also saluted: "Ernst Bream, 3rd Company of the Supplementary Battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment!" ”
Sergeant Hall on the side let out an exclamation: "Erwin Rommel, the brave man of Pore's village? ”
"The brave of the village of Poré", this is the first honor received in the legendary life of Erwin Rommel.
After the outbreak of World War I, Germany and France went to war on August 3. Second Lieutenant Rommel's 124th Infantry Regiment was attached to the 27th Division of the 13th Army of the 5th Army commanded by William von Prussia and was responsible for responding to the French offensive launched after the war had been mobilized. Rommel had his first experience of actual combat at 5 a.m. on August 22 in the small border village of Belgium and France, when Rommel was very tired from the reconnaissance operation of the previous day and had stomach pain. However, in order to avoid being perceived by his superiors as a sign of cowardice and wanting to flee the battlefield, Rommel did not inform anyone else about this.
In the fog of stray bullets from the front, Rommel's platoon arrived at the village of Poré, where he and three of his men went into the village to reconnoitre, and found 15 to 20 French soldiers. In order to maintain the "surprise effect", Rommel decided not to gather the rest of his subordinates in the platoon, and immediately launched an attack with a force of 4 people. The French immediately scattered, hiding in houses and shelters, and one of the bullets reached Rommel's ear, Rommel chose to retreat and led his men back to the waiting platoon outside the village. Rommel decided not to wait for reinforcements, split his platoon in half, and immediately attacked again. One group of the split forces attacked the French hiding houses in the cover position, and the other group attacked from the flank of the French house position, which was suppressed by German fire, and continued to set fire to the houses that were not French.
But the French resistance was also extremely strong, and the casualties of Rommel's men began to climb. Rommel himself lost consciousness several times due to fatigue and stomach pain, and had to be assigned to his adjutant sergeant, the platoon battle commander.
Later, due to the arrival of support from other platoons belonging to the 2nd Battalion, and the occupation of Heights 325 northeast of Poré by the Germans, the French forces at Poré surrendered.
After the battle, German soldiers removed the corpses of villagers, cattle and horses that had been caught up in the fighting, and Rommel lost several of his comrades.
