Jagged Germany

  The left-wing cluster composed of the German 1st Army and the 8th Army set off from Amiens and quickly approached south. The 1st Army, 3rd Army, and 1st French Army of the British Expeditionary Force immediately entered a state of combat readiness after learning the news, ready to resist the German attack.

   It's just that the British and French allied forces didn't know the direction of the German attack for a while, and didn't know where to focus their defense.

  Aumale, a small city about 20 kilometers southwest of Amiens, there are only more than 10,000 residents here. In the defense line built by the British and French allied forces, it is considered a less important node. The defense here is the 2nd Infantry Division of the 1st Army of the British Expeditionary Force.

  The headquarters of the division is located in the city hall of Omal, and the residents living in the city, except for a very small number of residents, are all soldiers from the United Kingdom. Other civilians fled to the south when the war broke out.

   "General, a telegram from the Army Group Command." A staff officer reported to Major General George Milne, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division of the 1st Army of the British Expeditionary Force.

Major General George Milne took a look at the telegram, and then stayed aside: "The Germans have started to attack, but what does that matter to us? Although Aumale is not far from Amiens, it will not become a place for the Germans." The direction of attack. If the Germans want to attack, they will attack Paris directly."

   According to Major General George Milne, Omal, where he is stationed, is undoubtedly very safe. Although, this also means that there are not many opportunities for meritorious service. But at least you can ensure your own safety. After all, the Germans are not so easy to deal with. It is undoubtedly the best thing to be able to finish the battle safely without fighting the Germans.

   "General, do we need to step up our guard?" the officer asked.

   "That's not necessary. Let the troops do what they should do!" Major General George Milne shook his head.

  The more than 10,000 British people under his command are quite busy during this time. Although there are not many residents in the city of Aumale, there are still many French people nearby. Those young French women, because their husbands went to the front to fight, don't mention how empty and lonely they are. His soldiers were busy comforting these French women.

  As the division commander, Major General George Milne couldn't bear to disturb these soldiers. Anyway, there is no war now.

   It is precisely because of this that the 2nd Infantry Division of the 1st Army of the British Expeditionary Force, even though it received an order to strengthen its security, was not prepared. So much so that they had no defense at all when they were raided by the German army.

   On the afternoon of April 1, the German 8th Armored Division and 34th Infantry Division arrived at Omal.

  Major General Guderian, commander of the 6th Armored Division of the German Army, looked at the officer in charge of the investigation in surprise.

   "Are you sure the British in the city are unprepared?" Major General Guderian asked.

   "Yes, General. We captured a few British soldiers. From their mouths, we learned that these British people are busy having fun and have no defense at all." The officer asked.

   "Haha, God bless. Since these British are not prepared, they are asking for their own death. General Cavill, it seems that we can easily win this time." Major General Guderian said.

   Major General Carville, commander of the 34th Infantry Division, nodded.

  After departing from Amiens, the 8th Armored Division and the 34th Infantry Division, as the forwards of the Legion, headed south quickly. In order to ensure that the 34th Infantry Division could keep up with the 8th Armored Division, a large number of trucks were specially prepared for them, so that all soldiers and supplies were transported by car. The same treatment, as well as the 1st Armored Division and 1st Infantry Division of the 1st Army. These two armored divisions and two infantry divisions will become the two fists of the entire left wing group.

  The German army immediately began to prepare for the attack. The artillery of the 8th Armored Division and the 34th Infantry Division were all ready to fire. Because the British army in the city was unprepared, the artillerymen did not even build artillery positions.

   "Fire!"

With the order of the artillery commander, the artillerymen of the 8th Armored Division and the 34th Infantry Division opened fire. A total of 36 150mm heavy howitzers, 72 105mm light howitzers and 108 75mm field guns began to attack the European Union. Shells poured down on British positions outside Mahler.

  Although there are no troops stationed on the British army's position, it is undoubtedly very necessary to destroy their position first. In this case, even if the British army discovers an enemy attack, they will no longer be able to use these fortifications for defense.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The cannons from door to door began to roar, firing shells into the British positions. Intensive explosions sounded on the British positions, and the fortifications on the British positions were destroyed one by one during the explosion.

  When the shelling sounded, Major General George Milne's face suddenly became disastrous.

   "Damn, where did the shelling come from?" Major General George Milne cursed. At the same time, I also had an extremely bad feeling in my heart.

  Two minutes later, a panicked British officer rushed in to report.

   "General, something is wrong. There are Germans everywhere outside the city. They are shelling our position fiercely, and it is estimated that they will launch an attack soon." The officer reported.

   "What? The Germans are really here? God! Gather up your troops immediately and prepare to resist the German attack." Major General George Milne ordered.

  However, his troops have been completely dispersed, and now it is easier said than done to gather them together again!

  The shelling of the German army lasted for 20 minutes, and the shells began to extend into the city.

  At the same time, the tanks of the 8th Armored Division began to attack.

  When these black lacquered steel monsters rushed towards the city of Omal, the British soldiers who had gathered with great difficulty suddenly collapsed. In their eyes, these invulnerable iron guys are completely devil's mounts.

  In less than two hours, the German army captured Omal. The 2nd Infantry Division of the 1st Army of the British Expeditionary Force stationed here was immediately defeated. Except for a very few people who were killed, most of them fled. In addition, only two or three thousand people were captured by the German army.

   It took Oumal so easily, which surprised Major General Guderian. However, the fact that the British are so invulnerable is undoubtedly very beneficial to Germany. This also means that they can easily win along the way.

  Major General Guderian immediately ordered the troops to rest in Omal for one night, replenish combat supplies and fuel, and continue to attack south early tomorrow morning.
