Several of Cameron's Leopards were already very close to the hiding spot, but at this moment, the terrifying and disgusting sound of engines came from the sky. Without even looking, Cameron knew that this was absolutely

It's an Allied aircraft. Once upon a time, Cameron could often see aircraft belonging to the Germans with the Iron Cross painted on them. But in recent months, they have become so rare that they are like, well, like

Hope the same.

In order to detect the enemy as early as possible, the commander of every tank under Cameron's command will expose his body from the tank. This is very dangerous, and a machine gunner can easily kill them, but that's all.

Only then do they have the opportunity to discover the enemy first. In many cases, the more dangerous the conditions are, the more they dare to take risks. For people who are in danger, not taking risks itself is the biggest danger.

For example, now, if Cameron hides in a tank, he can only rely on a periscope to observe the inside of the tank. The field of view is very narrow, and there is no upward perspective at all. It is simply impossible to detect enemy aircraft by sight; and the noise inside the tank is also

It is very large, and it is impossible for the tank crew to hear the sound from the enemy aircraft due to the interference of their own noise. In this case, they can only be beaten to pieces by the enemy attack aircraft without being aware of it.

"Stop! Hurry, disguise!" Cameron ordered.

The so-called "camouflage" does not mean putting on a camouflage net. This thing is not very useful in this unobstructed field. But Cameron has another set of camouflage methods that they have just summed up.

Cameron painted the rear half of the tank turret and the engine heat dissipation window black early in the morning. It looked like the rear part was shot and caught fire and was burned black.

Several vehicles immediately tilted to one side, and the turret also tilted over, with the barrel pointing low and diagonally towards the ground. Several tank crew members jumped out of the tank and placed a small box behind the turret, and a puff of black smoke came out.

He got up. Then several crew members fell to the side of the tank.

Obviously, Cameron has practiced this action more than once. It only took Cameron's crew members less than a minute to complete such a series of actions.

After a while, four "Typhoon" fighter jets flew over their heads.

The "Typhoon" fighter was originally an advanced fighter developed by the British to replace the "Hurricane" fighter. However, during use, the British found that its climb rate and high-altitude speed were not ideal, especially its aerodynamic characteristics during high-speed dives.

Deterioration makes it difficult to recover from a dive. However, when performing ground attack and battlefield interdiction missions, it performs well because of its larger level flight speed and weapon carrying capacity. Therefore, the "Typhoon" performs more and more ground attack missions, and even

It became the main force of the British army's ground attack.

Pilot Matthews scanned the ground alertly, and several German tanks that were smoking black appeared in his field of vision. Those tanks were lying in various directions, looking as if they had just been destroyed. Matthews was very sorry.

He shook his head. If he had arrived a few minutes earlier, these Leopards might have been his victory.

…

Watching the "Typhoons" passing overhead, Cameron, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, let out a long breath. His trick finally worked. He waited patiently for the British plane to take off.

It was not until these planes disappeared in the distance that he got up from the ground. The other crew members also got up one after another. They threw away the smoke canister behind the turret and got into the tank. Then the five tanks started again.

On the road.

A few minutes later, Cameron encountered another group of American PA-47 attack planes. Just as he followed the same method and deceived the American attack planes by pretending to be dead, a group of American infantrymen happened to be dead.

After that, the German tank soldiers who left the tanks and did not have many decent weapons had no choice but to become prisoners.

After this battle case was reported, Ron had to issue this instruction to the pilots of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing: "Any attack aircraft, on the way back, if it finds a smoking enemy that is suspected to have been destroyed,

If there are military tanks and the fighter planes still have unused ammunition, they will attack them."

…

German Army Command, Field Marshal Kruger's Office.

"Marshal, a reply from the Führer." Kruger's adjutant handed a message in a file bag to the marshal.

Marshal Kruger took the file bag, but did not take out the message. Instead, he casually put it aside.

"Marshal, don't you read the reply from the head of state? The head of state has a new order." the adjutant reminded.

"Does it make any difference whether we see it or not?" Marshal Kruger asked, "Will Hitler still agree to our retreat plan? I am sure that he must have vetoed our plan, and then kept telling us that there would be no step forward.

No retreat, like at Stalingrad!"

These words were full of sarcasm towards Hitler, which made his adjutant become nervous for him.

"Marshal, given the current situation, I think you need to be more careful with the way you speak," the adjutant reminded. "The secret police department has been very active recently."

"These guys are scum who can't do anything except punish their own people!" Kruger muttered angrily. He sat down, thought about it, picked up the file bag again, and pulled out the messages inside.

Read it carefully.

"This Bohemian Corporal! He actually wants us to attack! Damn it! I really underestimated his madness and stupidity! He is truly a liberal arts student studying art!"

Ever since he narrowly escaped death in an explosion a few days ago, Hitler's sanity has become more and more problematic. A long time ago, Hitler had a premonition that someone would use assassination methods to deal with him. In his opinion, within a few days,

The previous attack confirmed the accuracy of his intuition, which made him trust his intuition more than reason. At the same time, the rebels came from the army, and a large number of senior officers participated in or at least acquiesced in this action, which made Hitler

He increasingly distrusted the army, especially the Junkers officers. Under this circumstance, Hitler was more inclined to regard any disobedience to his will by these officers as a challenge to his power. Anyone

As long as he dared to question his "gut feeling", he would doubt whether this person had rebel intentions. It was now more difficult than ever to persuade Hitler to cancel his obviously unexecutable orders.

On the other hand, the experience of narrowly surviving death made Hitler extremely confident. In his view, this was proof that God had not abandoned him. God used his hand to pull him out of a certain death situation.

, it just shows God's favor for him. With God's favor, what miracles can he not achieve? His current situation is indeed very difficult, but can this situation be compared to what Frederick II faced in front of him during the Seven Years' War?

Is the situation more desperate? Frederick II was already ready to commit suicide. But God saved him, and God made his enemy the most powerful and terrifying Russian Tsarina Elizabeth Peter

Rovna suddenly died, and an idiot, Peter III, came to the throne and became the Russian Tsar. Russia, which was originally an enemy, suddenly became its ally. This changed the entire war situation. With God's favor, what?

Such a miracle can't happen? Maybe, as long as he bravely launches an attack, with the help of God, he can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and save the war situation. Just like King Baldwin IV in the Battle of Montgissar.

During the battle, relying on God's favor, only 80 Templars defeated a pagan army of up to 40,000 people led by the famous general Saladin. (Note, in fact, in this battle, Baldwin IV's subordinates

There were not only 80 Templar knights. There were also more than 300 secular knights and nearly 3,000 infantry. However, in the legend, these people were ignored.)

Yesterday, Marshal Kruger sent a telegram to Hitler. In that telegram, Marshal Kruger stated that in order to enable the two German armies to avoid the encirclement that threatened them, and to save the defense on the Brittany Peninsula,

Those divisions should immediately withdraw from this peninsula and other dangerous positions, and at the same time abandon the whole southwestern and southern France without delay. This might also be able to stop the Allied advance on or southeast of the Seine and bring the situation to a standstill.

Still can barely get by.

In fact, when he sent this telegram, Marshal Kruger had already anticipated Hitler's reaction. It would not be easier to convince Hitler in his current state than to repel the American and British Allied Forces. Kruger's telegram only

It's just a matter of doing your best and obeying fate.

Hitler did not approve his plan, which was completely expected. However, Hitler proposed a whimsical counterattack plan in this message. The boldness and absurdity of this plan definitely surprised Marshal Kruger.

anticipation.

According to this order, the German army must hold the Brittany Peninsula, or at least hold several of its ports. Army Group "C" should stay in southwestern France and the Mediterranean coast, and the Allied forces should open the gap in the Avranches area.

It should be closed by counter-assault. To this end, he ordered the unconditional withdrawal of all tank divisions from the front (which were the backbone of the defense), organized these divisions into an assault group commanded by the commander of the Fifth Tank Army, and concentrated it on

In the Mortain area, the mission is: to launch an assault on Avranche and cut off the connection between the advancing U.S. Third Army and its rear.

Marshal Kruger looked at the message. He knew that not long ago, Marshal Rommel had disobeyed Hitler's order and privately withdrew several infantry divisions that Hitler had ordered to hold their positions to the rear. Hitler did not make much of a reaction.

.However, at one time or another, Hitler at that time might have tolerated his generals being disrespectful of military orders abroad, but now, I am afraid that he will never tolerate such a situation again. So what should I do? Do I really
