The rats and rats chirp, wishing good luck; the rats and rats run happily, wishing good health; the rats and rats sleep soundly, and help noble people when they go out; the rats and rats have long tails, and everything is good; the rats and rats celebrate the New Year, and they have two fortunes in succession

I wish you all brothers and sisters a happy new year!

The sound of Stuka and Emil's engines whizzed by. The German Air Force, which took off from Essen Airport, directly raided and bombed the Allies that were about to attack the defense line of the 15th Army, in order to give the 15th Army more time to prepare.

It was 11:00 pm on May 12. At Essen Airport, there were more German Air Forces preparing to take off. The destination of these aircraft was the French artillery position on the south bank of the Maas River. More than 600 bombers will carry out high-intensity bombing of the French positions on the south bank of the Maas River. They will paralyze the French command system and give the armored troops on the Gudrie who are about to cross the river. The 2nd Armored Division and the 10th Armored Division are also moving towards Gudrien. If nothing unexpected happens, after Gudrien's troops successfully cross the Maas River, they will also cross the Maas River and officially cut off the southern and northern lines of the Allied forces.

The main key to the Battle of Mas River crossing was: the Mas River defense line was lost, and the road to Paris and the English Channel was opened. The Allied troops fighting in Belgium were in danger of being encircled, and the Allied troops on the Maginot Line would also be attacked from both sides.

When reconnaissing the intention of the German army, the Allied Command was very nervous. If the Mass River was lost, it would mean that all the Allied combat plans would be bankrupt. Allied troops waiting for the supply line to be cut off were to perish. For this reason, the Allied Command transferred six infantry divisions from the Maginot Line, including two armored brigades, and also ordered reinforcements in southern France to speed up the marching speed. The purpose of these Allied Forces was to attack the German troops who were about to cross the river from the north bank of the Mass River, making it impossible for the German troops to cross the Mass River. The second plan, if it did not prevent the German troops from crossing the river, cut off the German supply line, and let the German troops crossing the Mass River become an isolated army, and slowly rely on superior forces to encircle and annihilate it.

The 15th Group seemed so important at this time. The 15th Group Army, located in the center of the entire front, will not only be attacked by the Allies transferred from the Maginot Line of Defense, but also face the attack of the French army reinforced from southern France. The 15th Group Army held the throat of the entire front and retreated: the German rear wing was extremely dangerous, and the supply line would be completely lost. Defending: there means a fierce positional battle with 300,000 to 500,000 Allies on the north bank of the Maas River!

At this time, the 15th Army had occupied 16 small towns on the north bank of the Maas River and built three temporary defense lines by relying on the French towns to guard the positions. These defense lines seemed so fragile in the wilderness, but the people who defended the defense lines were absolutely strong, and they were ready to welcome the arrival of the Allies!

The town of Muss is located in the center of the entire defense line. While Hohenzollern sent the captured French prisoners of war to the Army Command, the headquarters held an emergency meeting. The meeting decided to strengthen the defense in the direction of Muss, and sent a reinforced tank company to the direction of Muss town to reinforce the town of Muss at any time.

The reason why there were no additional troops was that the town of Muss was not big and could not accommodate more troops. The crowded troops would only add military merits to the Allied artillery units. The French prisoners of war at the Army Command learned from the mouth of the French prisoners of war that two French infantry battalions were moving towards the town of Muss. The frontier of the town of Muss was flat, which means that if the Allied forces used armored forces as breakthrough forces, they would soon start street fighting with the 2nd motorized battalion stationed in Muss.

Without any obstacles, the 2nd Motorcycle Battalion's defense difficulty increased. To this end, the 2nd Motorcycle Battalion buried a total of more than 550 landmines on the road to the town of Muss from south to north. If it goes well, these 550 landmines can not only form the marching speed of the Allied forces, but also kill a large number of Allied infantry.

In order to make up for the disadvantages of the terrain, Hohenzoller arranged 16 g-34 machine guns at the forefront, that is, the building heights north of Muss Town. This can kill a large number of Allied soldiers who have to cross about 00 meters of barrier-free flat ground. These 00 meters will become the burial place for Allied soldiers. The choice of firepower points is clearly stated in the education and science that it is clear that it cannot be too close, which is to prevent the concentrated attack of enemy artillery fire. In Hohenzoller's view, these are actually bullshits. If the firepower is divided too much, it will easily cause the enemy to break through the defense line, effectively concentrate the firepower, and form a firepower intersection. This is the foundation of the battle. Artillery attack? The soldiers are afraid of death, so they can simply go home and take their children.

Hohenzollern firmly believed that the Allies would not launch shelling buildings in the town because they arranged the French's thinking, which was their property. The fire point hidden in the building would make a distance of 00 meters forever a nightmare for the Allied infantry!

The explosions in front continued to come, which indicated that the Allied vanguard troops stepped on landmines, or the French engineers were clearing mines. Amid the chaotic explosion, some Mauser rifles were shooting, which was a sniper arranged in front of the town. The task of the sniper arranged in front was to interfere with the mine-demining operation of the French engineers. At a certain distance, the sniper hidden very secrets were undoubtedly the god of death for the French engineers.

The large number of landmines and the interference of snipers slowed down the French army's marching speed. The French commander tried to let the tank open the way. The result was that after successfully eliminating several anti-destructive mines, the tracks of the scarred tank were blown up by the anti-tank mine, becoming a coffin that stopped in place and could not move.

The large number of mines almost made the French commander crazy. He ordered the infantry to move scattered from the farmland, and the few tanks and armored vehicles followed the infantry as they entered the farmland. There were fewer mines in the farmland. After paying the price of 26 people being seriously injured, the French finally took a big step from the town of Muss.

Since then, the defense battle in Muss Town has officially begun.

After the French army crossed the mine formation, they carried out a tentative charge. The 126 French soldiers ordered to charge were swept into the open plains like three G-34s cutting wheat, but this also exposed three German firepower points. The French troops of these two battalions carried two 47 artillery guns. Under the order of the French commander, the two 47 artillery guns opened fire, but the accuracy was a bit bad. The two shells exploded 5 meters ahead of the German firepower point. Except for causing a piece of dust to fly, the insects did not kill one.

The French army's two 47 artillery fired only two shells and disappeared, which made Mis, the German machine gun No. 1 shooter who was hiding from the commanding heights of the house, breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly felt that the choice of his firepower point was a little bit wrong.

"Maybe the machine gun should be arranged in the alley behind, is it too obvious here?" While thinking, Mis fired in the direction of three o'clock, where a squad of French troops hid behind the grass. Looking out from Mis' angle, you can find that the French troops were running back and forth on the low slope 1,500 meters. At this time, the French soldiers still used the "Adrian" helmet from World War I. This helmet was like a pot for cooking and was pressed upside down on the head. It was both ugly and bulletproof and extremely poor.

‘Ding thud thud —’ A burst of rapid footsteps came from the wooden ladder of the pavilion, which made the No. 3 shooter of the machine gun team, nervous. He quickly leaned his back against the wall and aimed the muzzle of the 40 submachine gun in his hand towards the direction of the wooden ladder.

"Victory!" This is the German 'code', and the machine gun shooter has to answer "honor" in order to prevent accidental injury. A German rifle soldier stretched out his head, "The French are preparing for the second wave of charge, and Lieutenant Baifan just ordered that the front-line machine gun team must transfer the position after three drums and 150 rounds of bullets."

Lieutenant Baifan was a Chinese who served in the 15th Army. He was one of the first officer cadets sent by the Chinese government to Germany to learn tactics. Before 1934, a German officer advisory group in China taught Chinese soldiers how to fight. In order to strengthen exchanges and learning, China sent a total of 20 young officers to Germany. Baifan is currently not the only Chinese who served in the German Wehrmacht Army. A total of more than 60 Chinese were serving in the 15th Army. However, Baifan was the only Chinese at the rank of lieutenant, and Baifan led a company of German soldiers.

"Three drums?" Mis did not think too much and immediately accepted the order.

The whistle to drive away the animals rang again, and French soldiers climbed the slope to charge again. The French soldiers wearing Adrian pot hats were suppressed by the German machine guns as soon as they poked their heads. Under the shouting of the French officials, the French soldiers screamed, trying to lower their bodies, and stepped on small steps to advance in the rain of bullets.

The angle of this fire point of Mess was very good. His fingers had never left the trigger and had been continuously strafing. Rows of French soldiers crowded together added Mess' merits.

Perhaps because of the heavy casualties, the French officer issued another order to bombard the artillery, and the 47th artillery fire sounded again, and the shells hit directly 6 meters in front of the fire point, and were extending forward. Sooner or later, it would hit Mis' position.

"I can't see ahead anymore. The damn smoke blocked the view!" Mis looked at the bombardment that continued to extend forward, and was already prepared for the death. He kept trying to find out where the French artillery position was, but unfortunately he couldn't see clearly what was in the low-lying area. If he didn't find the target, he would not be able to let his artillery soldiers in the rear shoot the low-lying area.

‘Boom!’ A shell hit the building, which made the entire pavilion shake violently. Mis was shaken so hard that he fell to the ground. When he got up and looked out, a shrill whistle sounded in the sky.
