"I bought a watch last year!"

After receiving the telegram from the high-level of the British and French forces, Ouyang Yu immediately tore the telegram to shreds, and the ghost was willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of those wastes.

Colonel Lewis, who was on the side, also had a very ugly face, because the telegram also included his troops, and he was also unwilling to fight to the last soldier in Arras.

"What should we do now?" asked Colonel Lewis.

Ouyang Yu, who had calmed down, thought for a moment and replied: "Hold on!" Otherwise, even if we break out, we will go to the military court, but we can't defend it as in the order, who will be so stupid to fight until one soldier and one soldier, and we will break through when the time is almost up, but during this time, we can only try to attract the attention of the German army according to the order." ”

Colonel Lewis nodded his head in agreement.

In the early morning of May 27, 1940, the German army, which had rested all night, began the next day's offensive, the German First Panzer Division received artillery reinforcements sent by Guderian, and Ouyang Yu's remaining artillery group was heavily damaged after engaging with it, completely losing its combat ability, Ouyang Yu had no choice but to scatter the surviving artillery as infantry to supplement the front line.

Without the support of long-range artillery, it became more and more difficult for Ouyang Yu's army to resist the German attack, on the other hand, the German army, not only had a strong air force support, but also could call for artillery attacks at any time, including the British 32nd Infantry Regiment, the whole line was in an emergency, and in the second day of the attack alone, the outer defense line of Arras was lost a lot, and the loss of troops and equipment was also very large.

Ouyang Yu anxiously walked around her headquarters, and the strength of the German army was completely beyond her expectations. And without the help of air support and artillery, her troops were as vulnerable as other French troops with the help of German air support and artillery, and if she was a person from this world and did not have a golden finger, I am afraid she would have surrendered like other French generals.

The battle situation was unfavorable, and Ouyang Yu could not afford to fight a peripheral position with the Germans. So she was ready to implement the second plan, putting the Germans in for brutal street fighting, so that the role of the German fighters and artillery would be minimized, and street fighting was the way there was no way at present, and it was also her last resort.

"Laura, send someone to get Colonel Lewis here. ”

"Yes. ”

As Ouyang Yu's personal female guard captain, Laura was just about to go out when Colonel Lewis came to the door by himself, and he excitedly waved a telegram and said, "Colonel Catherine, this is a telegram from General Montgomery." He led his troops quietly back twenty kilometers east of Arras, ready to attack from behind the German 1st Panzer Division tonight, help us break through and then join him and retreat to the Dunkirk area!"

"Great!" Ouyang Yu read the telegram several times, but after putting down the telegram, she asked worriedly: "But we have only been fighting with the Germans for two days, and the group of officers and gentlemen who broke through like this will let us go?"

Colonel Lewis replied with a smile: "Surely they will not let us go so easily, after all, it has only been a few days since the order was issued, and we will break through, but General Montgomery has a way to solve it, and the above did not order us to attract and delay the German advance to Dunkirk." But the order did not require us to delay in the Arras area, General Montgomery meant. After a successful breakthrough, we redeployed in the water network and lake area forty kilometers east of Dunkirk, where the German mechanized forces were difficult to deploy, and if we attacked only with infantry, we, together with General Montgomery's troops, would definitely be able to withstand the German attack and still get enough supplies. It's better than being trapped in the Arras region and left alone. ”

Ouyang Yu carefully studied the map, Montgomery's plan is quite good, if it can be successful, it can get out of danger and block the mouth above, since this is the case, why not do it? Ouyang Yu immediately gave the order to prepare for a breakthrough, and she ordered to collect all the trucks in Arras City. The wounded and everything that could be taken away were loaded up, and those that could not be taken away could not be left to the Germans, and all were loaded with bombs ready to be blown up during the retreat.

At 2:30 a.m. on the 28th, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded east of Arras City, Montgomery's troops launched an attack at the scheduled time, and the British army's sudden attack caught the 1st Panzer Division by surprise, and in order to facilitate the attack on the 1st Panzer Division's troops scattered around Arras, as if the palms of the fingers were open, while Montgomery's troops were like a fist, concentrating all their forces to storm a little, forming an absolute superiority in the local area, coupled with another surprise attack, which quickly routed the troops of the 1st Panzer Division in the east。

A steady stream of trucks drove into Arras, the trucks were loaded with British soldiers, Montgomery stepped out of a small car, and Ouyang Yu and Colonel Lewis, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly saluted and greeted.

"Well done, Colonel Catherine, I underestimated you and your troops the other day by their appearance, and I sincerely apologize to you, you and your troops are both French, true soldiers of the Coalition Forces, and I am proud to work with you. ”

As soon as Montgomery got out of the car, he apologized and saluted Ouyang Yu, and Ouyang Yu even said that it didn't matter, and he didn't care.

Now is not the time to chat, although the German First Panzer Division is still in chaos, but everyone is not out of danger, German reinforcements will arrive at any time, so Montgomery and Ouyang Yu and Colonel Lewis briefly talked before leaving, he still has to command the troops to continue the attack.

The British 3rd Infantry Division, 7th Infantry Division and 5th Tank Brigade, after defeating the enemy east of Arras, did not stop to rest, but crossed Arras and then launched another attack on the German army to the west, the 5th Tank Brigade took the lead, and the 3rd Infantry Division and the 7th Infantry Division followed behind the 5th Tank Brigade, easily tearing through the German defense line and covering Ouyang Yu's National Guard Brigade through the battlefield.

The German 1st Panzer Division, which had been blinded, was unable to figure out the size of the attacking British army at night, so it was contracted under Dietrich's order, and at the same time sent a telegram asking for help to the headquarters of Army Group A, and the commander of Army Group A, Rundstedt, got up from his bed and hurriedly ordered five infantry divisions and a tank division near Arras to reinforce the 1st Panzer Division, but when these troops arrived, the British army and Ouyang Yu's troops had already run away.
