Expedition to Europe

Tadenois.

The misty drizzle has been falling, and the humidity in the air is very high. The clothes on the body feel damp and stick to the skin. It is very uncomfortable. The steel helmet on the head is even more uncomfortable. In order to avoid it, many soldiers add a soft cap under the steel helmet, which can be more comfortable.

In the sentry post on the road to Tadenois, two German soldiers are communicating. One of them is a soldier from the Prussian Rifle Regiment stationed in Tadenois, and the other is a soldier from the Kingdom of Saxony who has just come to support from Fer-en-Tadenois. It happens to be one family, and no one suffers.

"Have you heard? Fer-en-Tadenois seems to have been defeated." The Saxon soldier handed over a cigarette.

"Who knows, there are news of defeat and victory every day, and even victory in the morning, but defeat in the afternoon. It is hard to tell the truth from the false." The Prussian soldier did not want to admit defeat and took the cigarette and lit it.

In the era of large-scale application of wireless telegraph, the speed of information dissemination is astonishing. What happened in Ferien-Tadenoy in the morning can be transmitted to Berlin in the afternoon.

"I don't know either, but we came from Reims to reinforce and ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's retreat is unobstructed, which in itself can explain the problem." The Saxon soldier is good at observation.

Although ordinary soldiers cannot get detailed information, they also have their own judgment. Germany has implemented comprehensive education, and the quality of soldiers is still good. Compared with the romantic French, even ordinary people, the logical thinking ability of Germans is obviously much better.

"That's not what we should worry about. The nobles need to worry about this. For us, ensuring that no one can get through this checkpoint is considered to have completed the task." The Prussian soldier is more responsible.

"I don't want that. I have a brother in the aviation team. He told me that a troop equipped with large tanks is approaching here in a roundabout way. If those tanks come over, I think I will give an alarm and then turn around and run. I don't want to be the mud under the wheels of those tanks. My little Marco is still waiting for me to go home and tell him stories." The Saxon soldier has intelligence channels.

Although there have always been French people driving "Camels" in the sky to drive away German planes, there are always some places that cannot be taken care of. Chen Kangjian's armored forces' circuitous route has exceeded the cover range of the "Camel", and it is normal to be discovered by German reconnaissance planes. After all, such a large force cannot be completely hidden.

The war has been going on for three years, and many people are exhausted. There are also a large number of soldiers in the German army who have fled. Even if they stay for honor, many people have lost their spirit of sacrifice. Stopping the war is the desire of many people. Only those who initiated the war do not want to stop because their desires have not been satisfied.

For "tanks", a new thing that was born last year, many people are unfamiliar. Out of inertial thinking, Saxon soldiers think that tanks are driven by wheels. This is not wrong in essence, but not quite accurate. If the Saxon soldiers turn into mud, it is not under the wheels, but under the tracks.

"Is he cute?" The Prussian soldier looked gentle, perhaps thinking of "Little Marco" at home.

"Very cute, I have his photo with me..." The Saxon soldier was in high spirits when talking about the little guy. He held a cigarette in his mouth and began to look through the photos on his body, wanting to let this new companion share his happiness.

No matter when, children are the hope of the future and the pillar in the hearts of their parents. As long as you remember that there is someone in a corner of the world who misses you wholeheartedly, tenderness will replace the cruel reality, enough to make people forget those unpleasant things.

"What's the sound?" The Prussian soldier was very alert.

A "rumbling" sound came from a distance, like thunder, wind, or the engine of some car.

"Who cares? As long as it's not a Chinese tank coming, it has nothing to do with us. In this damn weather, it's not easy for the Chinese to come over. They may still be struggling in the mud." The Saxon soldier didn't care.

Just as the Saxon soldier finished speaking, a huge steel monster suddenly appeared at the corner of the mountain road. The reason why it was called steel was that even at such a distance, the two soldiers could still see the thick gun muzzle with a metallic luster, facing the small outpost.

"Tank...tank." The Saxon soldier was stunned. The legendary crow's mouth was like this.

Since the appearance of tanks, the Germans have printed pamphlets to introduce this new weapon of war, and at the same time popularized some methods to fight tanks. In the previous French spring offensive, Renault FT-17 had already appeared on the battlefield, so for the Germans, the French FT-17 was not a secret.

"Run, he's going to fire!" The Prussian soldier warned, and then rushed out of the outpost.

"Damn it, wait for me!" The Saxon soldier was unwilling to fall behind, and he didn't forget to put the photo back into his pocket while running.

Perhaps it was this action of his that caused the misunderstanding of the tank on the opposite side. A ball of flame suddenly spurted out of the muzzle of the tank on the opposite side, and the entire tank body was shaken, and then the small sentry post burst open.

"Be careful!" The Saxon soldier did not forget his companions at the critical moment, and flew over and knocked down the Prussian soldier while giving a warning.

Boom...

The strong airflow, the deafening sound, the sky full of broken wood chips and muddy water, the brutality and ferocity of the tank were fully demonstrated.

"Hey, how are you?" The Prussian soldier threw away his rifle, straightened his crooked helmet, and shouted to the pale-faced Saxon soldier with his eyes closed.

"Hey, wake up, your little Mark is still waiting for you..." The Prussian soldier was eager to wake up the unconscious Saxon soldier, unaware that the tank on the opposite side had already driven in front of him.

"Stop, please stop." Seeing that the muddy tracks had already reached him, the Prussian soldier half-knelt on the ground, hugged the Saxon soldier in his arms, raised his hand and stretched it in the direction of the tracks, trying to resist the tracks that were getting closer and closer.

Comrade, the meaning of this word is that when you are in danger, I can save you without hesitation, and when the tracks are about to run over you, I will stand in front of you.

Even if I can't stop it!

The tank was almost about to run over, and finally stopped, and the cold and muddy tracks had touched the fingertips of the Prussian soldier.

"Hey, which unit are you from? You are our prisoners now!" Chen Kangjian stood up on the turret, his face full of excitement and expectation.

"Get out of the way quickly, or I will run over you." Chen Kangjian couldn't wait.

"Yes, sir." The Prussian soldier was very obedient.

It's not surprising that Germans can speak French, just like many French people can speak German. The war between France and Germany has been fought for hundreds of years since the 15th century. They are very familiar with each other. Someone once said that "the person who knows you best is your enemy." As a feud, the people of France and Germany know each other's country very well, especially language and culture.

"Disarm them, let them stay on the side of the road, and surrender to the troops behind. These two guys are very loyal, don't kill them!" Chen Kangjian ordered the accompanying infantry following the tank, and then slapped the turret vigorously: "Forward! Armored troops, forward!"

"Armored troops, forward!" This is the slogan of the armored forces of the first division.
