Chapter 818 (1/2)

May 13, 1940.

The Dutch army was defeated by the German army, and national sovereignty was lost. The Dutch queen led the government to exile in London.

The 19th armored division and group a army group at the front line of sedang also stopped.

In Germany, the dwarfs are excited by their brilliant achievements, but they are also worried.

If we go on, will the group a army group that the backup can't keep up with will be attacked by the French side.

Now that the results are much bigger than expected, it's time to consolidate the front and ensure superiority in anticipation of the final victory.

But in the view of the generals on the front line, doing so is tantamount to giving up the surprise attack and giving up the opportunity and advantage to further expand the results of the war.

So they called Berlin and argued for an order of ”strong investigation” and ”expansion of bridgehead positions”.

There is a saying that when the general is outside, military orders will not be accepted.

Goodrian made good use of this tradition by using orders flexibly, allowing subsequent infantry and motorcycle mechanics to expand and consolidate bridgeheads.

He himself led his troops along the line of the Somme river.

During this period, the 19th Armored Division engaged in several battles with the French third and fourth armored divisions, and they all successfully repulsed the enemy.

On the 18th, the troops arrived in San cantan.

On the 19th, the 19th Panzer Division forced across the SOM river at goodrian's command. The French armed with crude weapons could only watch the enemy go away before the front and backup tanks arrived.

Seeing that the German tank group had attacked the French reserve team, they decided to flee in disorder with poor weapons and equipment.

But how can they escape the tank and be overtaken by the tank? The escaped soldiers are in despair.

But at this time, they found that the tanks ignored their own existence and passed by them.

Except for a few unfortunate people in the way who were knocked down and injured, and the stupid people who were involved in the track crushing to death, the others were not damaged.

But in the battlefield, people are panicked, many people did not find this scene.

So, the most funny scene appeared.

On the battlefield, the German pursuers left the fleeing French behind, presenting the spectacle of the defeated army chasing the winning army.

”The Dutch were defeated, the queen led the government into exile in London, and the situation in the French campaign worsened. Has mother not decided yet?”

Late at night, after the two children were asleep, Li Zitao and Mary leaned on the head of the bed to discuss the recent situation.

The news of Luxemburg's surrender has spread, and Mary has been in a bad mood recently.

In people's opinion, Luxemburg has become a ”traitor” of the allies. Some people describe it as ”surrendering so fast that the German army has no time to shoot”.

This made Mary in a bad mood, but what worried her even more was that her father-in-law and her mother still stayed in Luxembourg and hesitated to leave.

”My mother wants to wait until the last moment. As a great Duke, she can't just abandon the people. There are simple people there.” Mary said with some sadness.

As a great Duke, this is her responsibility, but as a family member, what she does will only make her children worried.
