Chapter 520： Lame 1 leg (1/2)
Since the beginning of the war, the terrible cavalry has crossed the entire continent of Europe. When the hereditary warriors ride on their tall horses in armor on ships, they are majestic and invincible.
And now, when mechanized warfare arrives, the cavalry unit has finally been ruthlessly eliminated.
The war horse is tired, no matter how vigorous it is, it is now carrying a tired pace, and even when horses are running from time to time, they suddenly fall to the ground.
War horses must rest and eat forage, and they have been running for more than ten hours.
No rest, only tanks! As long as there is fuel, the tank can move on!
”Sigh...” The running horse suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. The cavalry on the horseback slammed down from above. He rolled twice on the ground. It was all mud. Fortunately, it was mud. After he fell, he was safe and sound.
His once stiff cavalry uniform is now in tatters and has long been pierced by rain. Now, the whole person will be as embarrassed as he is, and his epaulettes have also been stained by mud.
Joseph, the commander of the French First Cavalry Division, just lay down in the mud. The sky above his head was gloomy, the light rain was still pattering, and his mood was also extremely depressed.
His horse was beside him, his nostrils were still steaming, but his eyes were closed.
On the ground, there was a sound of vibrations. Unlike the vibrations of horseshoes, these vibrations were continuous.
The Germans are still catching up!
Joseph's looked at the cavalry around. They could no longer run, their horses were exhausted, and they had only one road left.
In the light rain in the distance, the figure of the tank has already appeared. The tall and mighty tank, crushing the soft mud, is moving towards this side.
”Report the number of our troops and we surrender.” Joseph said. At this time, his eyes were red, and clear water came out from the corners of his eyes. I didn't know if it was rain or tears.
Once conquered the entire European continent, once allowed the Germans to surrender, now France is a complete failure.
At this time, they were only thirty kilometers away from Dunkirk.
The Panther 3 tank stopped, and the infantry mounted on the tank jumped off from above, stepped on the soft mud, holding the MP38 ”submachine gun”, and surrounded it.
The French can no longer run. After being chased by tank troops for two days and two nights, they finally surrendered!
After successfully accepting the surrender of the French First Cavalry Division, Rommel's heart was extremely emotional. He peeked out of the tank and looked at the misty sky around him.
The distant coastline is not visible yet, but according to the map, they are about to reach Dunkirk!
”Temporarily imprison the captured French and leave a battalion to guard them. Don't waste time!” Rommel said: ”Now, our task is to continue to advance unswervingly and occupy Dunkirk!”
The diesel engine continued to roar, and Rommel could drive straight in, which was inseparable from this tank.
Just relying on the internal mailbox, there is a battery life of about 500 kilometers. If you add a large oil barrel to the rear, you can drive a full 700 kilometers!
