Chairman Mao squinted his eyes and said, "The French still underestimate Hitler. Our forefathers said that a arrogant soldier will be defeated. The French are arrogant soldiers. They will rest on the merits of the last war and suffer for decades."
If you don't work hard to make progress, how can you remain undefeated?"
Mr. Zhu and others nodded in agreement.
While Chairman Mao and others were talking, troops in France were performing their own legend.
In fact, France had previously received information through intelligence organizations that the German army would not directly attack the front of the French army. It just did not attack the front. The French army had never figured out where the main attack direction was. Only later did they get the news that they would learn from Belgium and the Netherlands.
When the German army advanced in the last war, the French army believed it. After all, it was well-founded.
It is a pity that the German army not only prepared these two armies, but also prepared the most secretive third army. Hundreds of thousands of troops crawled through the Ardennes Forest and came to the weak flank of the French army. These German armies dispatched nearly 400 aircraft.
The bombers carried out indiscriminate bombardment of the French army positions and artillery groups on the south bank of the Meuse River in batches for five hours, paralyzing the spirit of the French army. They successfully overcame the famous storm in one day.
Maas river for antenna.
As soon as the Meuse River defense line was lost, the road to Paris and the English Channel was open. The main British and French forces were still on the front line and did not understand the situation. However, the British already knew that something was wrong. He immediately concentrated all his planes and pounced on Ma
Sihe, hoping to use air power to stop the German attack.
The German army looked at the British aircraft fleet like a flock of birds, and sincerely expressed their appreciation for the British aviation industry. Then they took out various anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to show that their country's military industry was not bad, with more than five wings.
German fighter planes took off to intercept, and both sides invested more than 500 aircraft. From noon to dark, there was continuous sound of gunfire on the landing site. Fighters from both sides flew up and down, chasing each other. From time to time, a plane was hit and caught fire.
Black smoke fell, and the bombs dropped randomly by British and French planes exploded water columns on the river. The German anti-aircraft guns were not to be outdone, and continued to shoot down the British and French planes that were sneaking in at low altitudes with fierce firepower. The dense ground-to-air firepower network made the British and French planes become
Moths rushed in one after another, and were swallowed up one after another. The melee continued until nightfall. The British and French aircraft that suffered heavy losses were defeated in despair, and most of the German pontoons across the river were intact. The Germans shot down hundreds of British and French aircraft in this battle.
Among them, the German Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment alone accounted for 112. The aircraft sent by the British army lost 60%. "History of the Royal Air Force" said: "There is no loss more shocking than this kind of suicidal battle."
It's so sad." This day was called "Fighter Day" by the Germans. After that, the British and French air forces only dared to take off at night, and the air supremacy in the theater was firmly controlled by the Germans.
The air force interception failed, and the army interception became even more impossible. The German armored group once again informed the world of its power. Any French army that blocked it on the road could only be described as a mantis acting like a car. Paris is right in front of us, and the situation is
Precarious.
At this time, it had not been a week since the exchange of fire between Germany and France. Hitler used a week to achieve the strategic state that the German army had not achieved for several years in the last war. However, the victory had not yet been grasped. Hitler was excited and excited.
He was nervous. He looked at Guderian's advancing speed and said uneasily, "Should we ask him to wait? I'm always a little worried."
Manstein comforted Hitler and said, "Yes, we have to worry about how we can take care of so many French prisoners of war. We don't need to worry about the rest."
Manstein was right. Due to Guderian's crazy assault, many French prisoners had become a burden to him. He ordered these French prisoners to leave the road and gather together, manage themselves, and wait for follow-up notifications. Even
This led to a grand scene of prisoners chasing after the German army. For Guderian, whoever could help him take care of the prisoners now would be a great help.
Hitler's nervousness eased somewhat after listening to Manstein's joke. He waved his hand and said, "I'm just a little worried about whether France may have some conspiracy... I simply don't know how to give the order."
Manstein reminded, "There are still a large number of French and British troops fighting. They have not surrendered or dispersed yet. I think we should occupy the Dunkirk area immediately and block the gap in the bag, and then we can sit down."
On the sofa, slowly eating up the remaining British and French forces."
Hitler hummed and said, "You are right, then let's give the order like this."
Hitler was elated here, but the British and French allied forces headquarters on the other side looked like they were in danger.
Chamberlain had already received a no-confidence motion at this time. King George VI of England still trusted him very much and asked him who should be appointed as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom next. Chamberlain said unwillingly and arduously, "The next thing should be between the Empire and Germany."
At this time, we need someone who is extremely tough and resourceful. I suggest that Churchill be the prime minister."
George VI expressed his willingness to accept his opinions, and summoned Churchill the next day to form a cabinet. An hour later, Churchill met with Labor leader Attlee, inviting the Labor Party to join the cabinet and gain support. Of course, the Labor Party, which was the opponent of Chamberlain's Conservative Party, did not
Shao took the opportunity to sneer at Chamberlain. Chamberlain just smiled and didn't care. In fact, it was extremely irresponsible to blame all the appeasement policy on Chamberlain. When Churchill expressed his opposition, not a single member of the parliament supported him. It can be said that the entire
The British Parliament chose a policy of appeasement towards Germany. Although Chamberlain left the position of British Prime Minister, he has been the leader of the Conservative Party. Although the Labor Party and the Liberal Party encouraged Churchill to expel Chamberlain from the government, Chamberlain still gained the support of most Conservative MPs.
Supported, so Churchill still asked him to stay in the war cabinet. Churchill initially wanted to appoint Chamberlain as Chancellor of the Exchequer, but was strongly opposed by the Labor Party and the Liberal Party, and finally appointed him Speaker of the Privy Council and in charge of the important Privy Council Speakers Committee. Chamberlain continued to serve faithfully
Performing one's own work and providing many useful consultations to the government are not mentioned later.
Churchill had just taken office and was about to face a mess in France. Before he could turn on the heating in the Prime Minister's Office, a phone call sent his heart into a deep freeze.
"Hello...I am French Prime Minister Paul Reno. We may lose this battle..."
Churchill stayed for a while, and it took him a long time to figure out what happened. He hurriedly flew to Paris. As soon as he saw French Prime Minister Reynaud and Commander-in-Chief of the British and French Allied Forces Gamelin, he immediately realized that the situation was worse than he thought.
It's much worse - every one of them has a dingy face." Churchill asked Gamelin, "Where is the strategic reserve?" Gamelin shook his head, shrugged, and said, "There is no strategic reserve!"
"After hearing this, Churchill was simply dumbfounded.
Churchill simply couldn't believe that in such a battle, the British and French forces actually pushed all their troops to the front line, without even leaving a chance for themselves to turn their cards over. He stammered and asked, "Then what are we doing now?"
What else can stop the German attack?"
Gamelin lowered his head and said, "France is unwilling to surrender."
Fuck you!
Churchill was about to fall out on the spot. He shouted to the attendant next to him, "Hurry! Let our children go to Dunkirk quickly. We must retreat quickly!"
Gamelin hurriedly said, "Mr. Prime Minister, you can't do this, otherwise our army will collapse faster."
"What difference does it make to us if we collapse today and if we collapse tomorrow? But do you know that there are only a group of boy scouts in England now! If we can't bring our children back, I have to consider whether the Indians should
Guarding Britain! Damn you bastard!!" Churchill was going crazy. He no longer wanted to stay in Paris and hurriedly flew back to London to prepare for the retreat. Gamelin looked at Reno who lowered his head and said nothing.
He sighed and took out his resignation letter.
France is doomed.
In fact, it is difficult for future generations to understand that an army of three million, let alone an army, even three million pigs were disrupted. If they are not captured for several months, they will not be captured, let alone an army. France was really defeated.
It's too fast. Let's talk about the collapse of the army. Since ancient times, the rapid collapse of the army has been mostly due to one thing - the logistics is cut off. The army is a giant beast and requires countless supplies every day.
Supplies, and if this logistics is cut off, then let alone 3 million, even 30 million will only fall apart.
And now, Guderian is doing such a thing. His troops are rapidly crossing the French mainland and running straight through the English Channel. The northern coalition forces have actually been surrounded in the Flanders region of northern France. This part of
There is no need for the army to retreat, otherwise one or two million troops would rush towards England. Hitler in history would not have watched helplessly as these troops retreated, but now there are only four to five million, and these troops are in front of all the British and French forces.
It was just a small part. The German troops were pressing forward step by step from the southwest, east and west. Under Churchill's strict orders, the British and French forces abandoned everything that could be discarded. If the Chinese anti-Japanese army looked at the machine guns and artillery abandoned along the way,
Trucks, tanks, everything is so angry that they can't stop shouting at each other. To Churchill, none of this is important. The most important thing is the strength. The great Britain can re-manufacture those equipment at any time.
Churchill returned to London and immediately organized a large number of ships to prepare to go to Dunkirk to rescue people. But the question now is how much time is left. Churchill walked around the room smoking a pipe and decided to have a meeting.
That war madman, try how determined he is to fight against Britain.
On the European continent, a military tragedy was staged due to the excessive concentration of troops. On the Asian continent, for almost the same reason, a different kind of pursuit was staged... If this is still considered
If you pursue.
——Jinan
"How far is our vanguard from the 115th Division?" Okamura Neiji looked at the map and said anxiously. He had said this sentence countless times. He would ask it almost every hour or two.
, everyone could see how much he wanted all the Japanese soldiers to put on their wings and fly to the 115th Division. His eagerness was simply more anxious than the first date.
"According to the latest intelligence, the vanguard of our army has arrived in Yucheng, and the enemy's main force has shown signs of leaving Texas. Since the enemy's troops are traveling at night and day, the local people do not support us, so we are very worried
It's hard to get accurate information." Kawamoto said with his head lowered. He has been scolded a lot these days. At first he said that the Eighth Route Army was going to attack north, but then it came to attack Jinan. He said it was going to attack Jinan, but in the end it still went north. God knows what will happen next.
Kawamoto has already figured out where Lin Sanhu will go. This is a big trap. It would be better for him to say less.
"Damn it! We are obviously traveling day and night, and our troops are constantly blocking the enemy's front. Why are we still not as fast as them! Don't they need a rest?" Neji Okamura simply said.
They were so angry that the Eighth Route Army did not appear on the roads most of the day in order to prevent being attacked by Japanese aircraft. Although the nights were long and the days were short, the Japanese army had better marching time and conditions than the Eighth Route Army.
But why can't I catch up?
In fact, Okamura Neiji really wronged the Japanese troops on the front line. They really worked hard to pursue them, but they couldn't bear to have Jiang Cheng, the golden finger, because the Eighth Route Army basically didn't bring any supplies.
Jiang Cheng led a small group of people to the front section and turned them into food and grass for the Eighth Route Army to come and collect. This speed was of course much faster than the Japanese army who brought a lot of things, and even without Jiang Cheng, the march speed of the competition on this planet
There were not many troops in the world that could compare with the Eighth Route Army at this time. Jiang Jie in Chongqing said he understood this mood. When he was chasing the Red Army, God knows how many cups he smashed. The Red Army at that time was all eating.
Leather shoes!
Neji Okamura looked at the map and said, "Leave Texas, where will they go?"
Kawamoto bit the bullet and said, "The battle report we just got shows that Ningjin and Shanghe have fallen."
Okamura Neiji nodded and said, "To the west... Well, I'm afraid they will have to go south in the end. They have made such a big circle. They won't just want to escape. Order the troops to divide their forces and join forces. Be careful of the Eighth Route Army."
Ambush!"
The Japanese army who received the order from Okamura Neiji expressed that they were very confused. They had to catch up quickly and be careful about ambush. What should they do? Everyone shook their heads and did not dare to ask more questions. They took the time to continue following the traces of the 115th Division.
Heading north, the 115th Division was already approaching Cangzhou at this time.
"Cangzhou is the hometown of martial arts. We don't want too many martial arts here. Zhang He, the general from the Three Kingdoms period, is from Cangzhou, and Zhang Zhidong is also from Cangzhou. There are outstanding people." Luo Ronghuan introduced Lin Sanhu, Jiang Cheng and others.
said.
"Well, I know, and so does Wei Zhongxian." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
"This is not a good person." Lin Sanhu said with a smile, "We can't let the Japanese stay in such a good place for too long. Order the troops to attack the city!"
