Chapter 454 (1/2)

This is a battle without any suspense.

On one side are tank troops with high morale, while on the other side are just some panicked cavalry troops. Before they fight, the victory and defeat have been divided.

Within half an hour, the second cavalry division no longer existed. In fact, only a small force was crushed, less than a fifth of it. However, they shamefully retreated in the dark and collapsed into an army. In this way, the establishment of the second Cavalry Division was gone.

At the same time, the experience of the second cavalry division began to report up quickly.

At this time, it was already three in the morning.

When the news was reported to Paris, it was already more than four o'clock. In his sleep, gammerlin was hurriedly awakened by the adjutant. He had not had much rest since the war.

When he rubbed his red eyes and came to the command room, he saw the solemnity of his subordinates.

”What happened?” Asked gammerlin.

”An hour ago, our 2nd Cavalry Division encountered a German tank force in the western part of Arden forest. We suspect that the Germans may have burst from Arden forest, which will bring a great shock to our current front.”

The head of the British Expeditionary Force present, looking at the map, looked worried.

All our troops have been sent to the north of Belgium to stop the Germans. If the Germans suddenly kill out of the Arden forest, their back will be attacked by the enemy. The situation will be very dangerous!

The situation on the whole battlefield will fall into great passivity, and our own side may even be divided and surrounded. This degree of importance cannot be overstated.

Now, look at the front line. This place in Arden forest is our biggest weakness!

After a brief thought, gammerlin shook his head: ”this is false information.”

Gammerlin's judgment was so rapid that the British commander couldn't react at all: ”how can it be false intelligence?”

A whole French cavalry division is gone. Can it be said to be false intelligence?

”In the towering woods everywhere, the tank troops suddenly came out and killed one of our cavalry divisions?” With a rhetorical tone, ”do you believe it? Do your own armored forces walk through the primeval forest? ”

Gammerlin has never been to Arden, but this does not prevent him from making a judgment. As a French veteran, he has studied all the terrain of France and all the surrounding countries.

Arden area is a primeval forest. It can be said that it is not easy for cavalry to pass, let alone tank troops. This is a joke!

This is more unacceptable than Hitler's statement of pretending to die. It's a big joke!

As a commander in chief, you must have the ability to judge. Moreover, ganmarin has found some geographical experts to visit Arden area. They come to the conclusion that, like ganmarin's, it is absolutely impossible for large troops to pass there!

Tanks need to burn oil and consume ammunition. Even if their tanks can come, how many can come? It's just harassment at most!

Even, it can be imagined that these tanks, in fact, did not come through the Arden forest at all. It may be that other means, such as gliders, just like the Germans fighting the fortress in Belgium, forcibly completed the impossible.

The Germans brought the fortress of Belgium just by glider, which surprised everyone and explained a problem.

The Germans must take Belgium as the main direction of attack.
