Historical Background:
22th of May 1940.
According to General Weygand's plan but with a delay of a day regard to the attack of the "Frankforce" on Arras, the 1st French Army had to attack Cambrai in the aim to cut the "Panzers' corridor". In fact, instead of two infantry divisions, only one regiment was able to attack. 121st Infantry Regiment (25th DIM), supported by R-35 tanks of the 38th BCC (French tank battalion) and by three Recce Groups (motorized units), advanced from the east of Douai and breaking through defensive positions of German 32.Infanterie Division, reached the suburbs of Cambrai. But the air strike of Luftwaffe and direct fire of German field artillery stopped the French attack. In the evening, the French units withdraw beyond Sensée river, blowing up the bridges. The breakthrough according to Weygand's plan had failed definitively.
