21. Charging at Sedan's Gate! (28)

After the fall of Saint-Monge, the 2nd Group Army of Charlemagne no longer had any strength to halt the advance of the B Group Army toward the Meuse River. Scattered resistance barely stirred up a ripple in the face of the armored spearhead, as brave resisters often managed to fire only one round of bullets before they turned into a mound of flesh under the tracks of the Wehrmacht tanks.

Without any preset positions and being near the open riverbank, relying solely on their courage and their single-shot rifles, how were they to stop the furious tide of steel?

In just one hour, the Balk Combat Group and the 1st Armored Division had already reached the Meuse River. According to the predetermined plan, the Balk Combat Group immediately began crossing the river, while the 1st Armored Division waited on-site for the engineers to build a bridge.
