J ai trouve ca:
At 12h25, 20 minutes after being entered in Landrecies, the "Tunisie" moves to Ors on an empty road. Sous-lieutenant Gaudet meets 3 French soldiers who were POWs in Landrecies and managed to escape during the attack. In Ors the "Tunisie" meets the "Mistral" (lieutenant Pompier) but also the "Tornade" (sous-lieutenant Rival), the "Vosges" (lieutenant Willig) and the "Nantes" (sous-lieutenant Phelep), which arrived in reinforcement. The "Mistral" is covered by many hits but remains undamaged. Lieutenant Pompier has been back from Landrecies 10 minutes before sous-lieutenant Gaudet. He tells that he has destroyed two AT guns and many armored cars.
In about 20 minutes these 2 B1bis tanks have destroyed 6 AT guns and about 100 AFVs. Different sources confirm the terrific number of 100 destroyed AFVs but sous-lieutenant Raiffaud, commander of the B1bis "Indochine, also from the 3/15e BCC, speaks about 50 destroyed AFVs, which remains nevertheless a significant number.
Plutot 50 que 100 blindes detruits.
On peut comprendre que le slt Gaudet a ete tres optimiste au dire du slt Raffaud.Quand une occasion comme celle la se presente,il n y a aucune hesitation a voir et l exitation est a son comble.
