The croaking of frogs and the buzzing of cicadas fill the air, wrapping around one's soul.
In a vast open field north of the city of Combray, soldiers of the German Army's 1st Tank Division were busy constructing tank entrenchments in the sunset.
Tank entrenchments are deep pits similar to trenches, but with slopes at both ends for tanks to enter and exit. This way, tanks can "hide" in the pits to avoid enemy artillery fire.
However, the German Army generally didn't worry much about this because their 105-caliber howitzers always dominated over the French artillery.
Why did those foolish French only obsess over the 75 cannons?
These were matters that Major General Nicholas didn't need to worry about. He sat on a half-height rock, staring at his notebook and lost in thought.
He was very pleased with today's results; at the cost of 13 "Upper Silesia" tanks, they destroyed an entire French heavy "Saint Chamond" regiment, estimated to be over a hundred "Saint Chamonds."
However!
