"Major, the leader is right, we are all blonde and blue-eyed supermen," Lieutenant Rudolf Witzschy said as he ran, in a somewhat amused tone to Major Kok, who was running with him.
"Why do you say that?"
asked Major Cork.
"We braved the rain of artillery fire from the sky, landed on the roof of a heavily fortified fortress, blew up dozens of targets in 60 minutes, and then hit dozens of them one by one, and the fight was endless."
"And we haven't been killed yet," Major Cork added.
"There are still a few killed," said Lieutenant Rudolf Witzshit, who and Major Cork had already run to a hemispherical armored turret with a dozen other commandos.
It was an armored turret with a 120-caliber gun, and the bomb that destroyed the cannon in the morning failed to blow up the turret's casing, so a commando had to climb to the top of the turret and stuff the bomb into the barrel.
In the process, several other commandos had to exchange fire with dozens of Belgian soldiers.
In the end, they not only destroyed the cannon, but also killed more than a dozen Belgians, but they did not suffer any casualties, which is simply a thunderous plot only in a certain drama in later generations.
But on April 10th, it was happening everywhere.
The turret, whose huge cannon had been blown up, was now a stronghold for the assault team, and the iron door of the armored turret had been pried open, allowing the team members to take refuge in it when the Belgians were shelling.
When the shelling is over, these supermen will come out and continue to kill.
Opposite the turret is a spiral staircase from which the Belgian soldiers stationed at the fort would launch a counterattack.
However, each counterattack was repulsed, and the corpses piled up at the exit of the stairs, several turning into a small hill.
However, the Belgians were unwilling to give up, and there were more than a thousand people under the roof of the fortress, and the nearby Belgian garrison sent more than a thousand more.
Of the nearly 3,000 Belgian troops, nearly 101 people were now taken down by 100 German supermen in H aircraft, 8 people parachuted down, and later there were several casualties, and now there are still 100 people who can be suppressed, so they are naturally unwilling, so they launched wave after wave of counteroffensives.
Major Cork and Lieutenant Rudolf Witzsch were leading the men when a round of Belgian shelling had just ended with mortars from the garrison near the fort, and Belgian shouts were already coming from below the stairs.
"Just in time," Major Cork exhaled, and he and Lieutenant Rudolf Wiecschy were playing the role of a firefighting team with a dozen men, running back and forth in several strongholds that could block the stairs, and where they were tight, they went for reinforcements.
"Boom" A shrill scream reached Panzer Meyer, who knew it was a JU87 Stuka dive bomber attacking a Belgian artillery position 1,000 meters west of the Fronthofen Bridge. artillery, and this also has solid artillery bunkers.
With the support of these four cannons, the Belgians launched an attack on the German commandos who occupied the outposts and defensive positions on the west bank of the Ronhofen Bridge, but they were repulsed again and again, and the same dozens of men and several machine guns were "hanging", and the Belgians of a brigade had no way to deal with them Moreover, the German commandos would also "summon", summoning a squadron of Stuka to bomb repeatedly.
By the time Panzer Meyer's assault battery broke through the resistance of a Belgian infantry regiment and rushed across the bridge to reinforce them, two of the four cannons had already been blown apart, but the remaining two were still firing.
A second lieutenant of the Airborne Forces galloped up to Meyer's assault gun and shouted: "I'm Second Lieutenant Gehashacht, the commander here" Panmoured Meyer also shouted at him: "I am Captain Kurtmeier, the company commander of the 16th Assault Gun Company of Adolf Hitler's Guard Banner, and I have been ordered to come and take over the defense.
Second Lieutenant, your mission is accomplished, it's time to see us."
"No," said Ensign Ghashacht, waving his hand vigorously, "we can't go yet, the air force has found that a large number of Belgian troops are coming towards us, and there will be a fierce battle soon, so we must stay." ” "Okay" Panzer Meyer nodded, "Ensign, how are your casualties?"
"Three killed and 18 wounded, three of them seriously wounded," replied Second Lieutenant Ghashacht.
Ninety-six commandos and 22 H pilots seized a bridge guarded by a Belgian infantry brigade at the cost of only 21 casualties, of which only 6 were already dead and likely to die soon "In the face of the most ferocious and barbaric invasion of German militarism, the French government will stand with the French people from the beginning to the end to resist the German invasion and defend the territories belonging to France.
I firmly believe that the final victory and glory must belong to the heroic France, long live France" At 9 a.m. on April 10, Paul Reynaud, Prime Minister of the French Republic, told all the people who supported and opposed him the news of the French army's march into Belgium on the balcony of the Palais Martingnon, and then gave a confident speech.
At this moment, Chancellor Reynaud did not know that he was going to face a group of Germans who were much more powerful than the one more than 20 years ago, and they would beat him to tears in a few days.
"Long live France, France will win" The crowd in the square was inspired by Renault's speech and let out bursts of cheers, although some of them were still singing the Internationale last night to harass Renault, but at this time everyone felt that they were patriots.
And they think that their parents can beat the Germans, and their generation will definitely not be far behind.
Just two hours after Renault delivered the "Speech at the Palace of Martingnon", across the English Channel, the new helmsman of the British Empire was about to be elected.
He was Winston Churchill, the most combative and resolute advocate of fighting Germany to the death in the Conservative Party.
At this moment, he was in the audience room of Buckingham Palace, and he met King George VI of England, who was very unspeakable and stuttering.
Neville Chamberlain had just recommended him to the King of England as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
"The new government, is it a coalition government?"
asked the King of England, frowning.
His greatest fear now was not so much the German bombs falling from the sky or the German GIs from across the English Channel, but the internal problems of Britain.
Because in his opinion, this world war will be a long and protracted war.
Given the destructiveness of German submarines, it is likely that the British people will endure severe shortages and hardships, just as the Germans did in those days.
Therefore, it is very important to have a government that can unite all political forces.
"Yes, I will lead a coalition government," Churchill said, "and this government will lead the empire over the murderous and barbaric enemies of the continent." ” "There is no possibility of peace," the King of England asked.
"It's not possible, it's not necessary."
Churchill said firmly, "In the early hours of this morning, the German Empire once again showed its savage and aggressive nature, invading Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
If we fail to stop German ambitions, the whole of Europe will soon be enveloped in darkness. ” "Then Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are already standing with us" "Belgium has declared war on Germany and stands with us."
Churchill said, "The attitude of Luxembourg and the Netherlands remains unclear. ” When Churchill said this, Luxembourg had already surrendered to Germany.

Seven German panzer divisions, three motorized rifle divisions and the "Greater Germany" flag and 10 infantry divisions had crossed the German-Deutsche border, and their vanguard had broken through the Ardennes forest region north of Luxembourg into Belgian territory.
The remaining 44 divisions of German Army Group A were divided into two parts, one advancing south of Luxembourg to threaten the northern part of the Maginot Line; The other was waiting east of the Ardennes Forest for an order, and in case the sneak attack of the armored cluster was not successful, it would be the turn of these dozens of infantry divisions to go up and storm it.
If the armor cluster succeeds in breaking through, then they will follow to expand the results.
At the same time, the Netherlands announced a general mobilization, demanded that German troops withdraw from the Dutch province of Limburg within 72 hours, and protested.
Churchill, however, knew that the Dutch's protests and demands for withdrawal were nothing more than a pretense to fool Britain and France.
After all, the Germans were now only "borrowing" Limburg and did not invade the rest of the Netherlands, and everyone knew that they had no ambitions for Limburg.
The Dutch were not guilty of putting the whole country in for this, and continued neutrality was still what they wanted.
The question now is whether Britain and France can hold their noses and admit that the Netherlands remains neutral Churchill, on the other hand, was not interested in the Netherlands for the time being.
Because the news from Belgium was very bad, the Germans made a surprise attack on the fortress of Eben-Emer and captured two bridges over the Albert Canal.
This meant that the defense of the Liège line on the Albert Canal had already been broken through by the Germans.
The number of Belgian troops deployed on the front line of Liege on the Albert Canal was limited, and it was impossible to block the surging main force of the German army on the one hand, and Churchill thought that it was the main force of the German army that was attacking Belgium now, and on the other hand, he still had the strength to counterattack and recapture the bridges and fortresses.
Therefore, they had no choice but to retreat in great strides, join the Anglo-French troops who had come to reinforce them on the line of Namur on the Brusselsdale River, and then seek a decisive battle Since the Belgian army was losing so quickly, some of Churchill's Anglo-French forces might not be able to make it to the battle in a hurry.
Therefore, there is no need to trouble the Dutch, at least until the prospect of a battle in central Belgium becomes clear t1706231537:
