Paris is quite far away from the Maginot-Siegfeld Line, more than three hundred kilometers.
But this distance is only a short distance for the Air Force.
At the end of World War II, let alone bombers and transport aircraft, even fighter jets had most combat radiuses approaching or even exceeding a thousand kilometers.
Even the German BF109, which has always been criticized for its short legs, has a combat radius of far more than 300 kilometers.
In just over half an hour, the first batch of more than 3,000 fighter-bombers and heavy bombers had already flown over the two lines of defense and began carpet bombing all German fortifications on the ground.
At the same time, many Allied heavy artillery units that had arrived at the front line in advance and were hiding also took off their camouflage at this time and began to cooperate with the air force's actions, making a huge roar.
Hundreds of thousands of aircraft bombs and artillery shells were thrown onto the German positions.
At this time, the troops on the two lines of defense were completely confused.
Because just before the start of this operation, the "main force" of the Allied forces was clearly still launching a fierce attack on Belgium. Why did it suddenly attack to the west?
But it's useless for them to remain confused, because aerial bombs and artillery shells will not reason with you.
Although these two lines of defense were once said to be unbreakable.
But in fact, both its military thinking and its design style are already outdated.
In the face of the Allied carpet bombing, it did not play the expected protective role. Just the first wave of bombing caused extremely heavy casualties to the German troops stationed there.
Of course, being behind the times means being behind the times. It would be delusional if the Allies wanted to defeat these two lines of defense just by relying on such bombings... In the history of the original time and space, these two lines of defense also delayed the Allied forces for several months, although there are also some
The main direction of the Allied attack is not related to this side.
After the first wave of bombings, the bombers retreated, leaving behind a trail of smoke and wreckage.
The surviving German soldiers carefully poked their heads out of the fortifications and prepared to repair the fortifications.
But at this moment, countless buzzing sounds sounded in the sky.
The second batch of more than a thousand Allied medium bombers has arrived!
For this operation, Britain, the United States, and even France spent all their resources and used more than 5,000 transport aircraft, more than 2,000 gliders, and more than 8,000 fighter jets and bombers (this is
Historical Allied Attack on Belgium - Actual Data from Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands).
The German troops who had drilled fortifications on the ground did not react and were once again baptized by horrific aerial bombs.
The fortifications that were originally transformed beyond recognition in the first round of bombing became even more miserable after the second round of bombing.
But this time, the German soldiers on the position learned wisely and did not come out immediately, but continued to wait in the fortifications.
Only this time, they thought differently.
Because the third echelon arrived not bombers, but overwhelming transport planes and gliders escorted by fighter jets.
These aircraft flew directly over the two lines of defense and entered the Baden-Württemberg area, dropping tens of thousands of white umbrella flowers. More than 35,000 people, 568 artillery pieces, 1,927 military vehicles, and 5,230 tons of supplies were successfully dropped on the road leading to Baden-Württemberg.
Along the lines of Bavaria.
Except for a few unlucky ones who were hit by anti-aircraft fire or got hung up on trees when landing, the Allied airborne troops suffered almost no major losses.
What? The German Air Force?
Sorry, from the time the Allies landed, the Germans had almost lost air superiority.
The remaining air force could not cause much hindrance to the Allied air force.
What's more, just as soon as the Allied forces took action, the home of the German army and Hydra was bombed.
On the German side, the remaining hundreds of thousands of Bavarian legions and the more than 300,000 Austrian Hydra legions launched a coup, tied white cloths on their arms, and began to advance towards Baden-Württemberg.
The garrison in the Baden-Württemberg region was mobilizing troops to try to encircle and suppress the American airborne troops that had just landed. They did not expect that there would be an attack from behind and were unable to organize an effective counterattack.
The German army, the resistance army, and the Allied forces were intertwined with each other. The entire northwestern Shanxi, ah no, the entire Baden-Württemberg state was reduced to a mess.
Speaking of which, Baden-Württemberg only has more than 30,000 square kilometers, which is only one-fifth of the size of Xishan Province.
But in just a few days, Baden-Württemberg had already squeezed in a total of 6.7 million troops from the three parties, excluding the main Allied forces that had begun to launch a ground offensive against the two lines of defense.
In addition, I don’t know how advanced the weapons and equipment are.
Tsk tsk, this fight and that one are so exciting.
By the time Mustache and Red Skull reacted, it was already too late.
Mustache, who has already been weakened to the extreme, can no longer mobilize enough troops to fight the Ardennes Counterattack like he did in the original time and space.
The Red Skull's Hydra army on the other side had enough power to counterattack.
But at the same time, two regions belonging to the Hydra Legion, Romania and Hungary, also rebelled.
However, although these two are very close to Austria, their rebellion really has nothing to do with the Allies, but was instigated by Mao Xiong.
Originally, the main force of the Hydra Legion and Mao Xiong fought fiercely on Er Mao's territory.
These two jumped back and directly cut off the Hydra Legion's retreat.
At this time, the Red Skull had no time to think about counterattack, so it could only retreat hastily. Before the retreat was completely cut off, it retreated to Croatia and Slovenia, preparing to rely on the natural dangers of the Alps for defense.
At this time, the Red Skull had realized that there was no way to save the situation by relying on conventional combat, so he began to gather all the remaining troops and began to build a camp step by step, surrounding all defense lines like iron barrels.
Hit all the resources at the same time and order Dr. Zola to speed up the production of the Rubik's Cube energy super bomb and the Valkyrie strategic bomber - it is definitely impossible to defeat them head-on, so they can only rely on super weapons to blow up the world.
For a madman like the Red Skull, peace talks are impossible. He can only maintain his life by blowing up all the big cities in the United States and give him a chance to make a comeback.
But the Allies didn't know this.
With the right time, right place, and right people, in just one week, the Allied forces completed their predetermined strategic goals, attacked from both fronts and backs, broke through two famous lines of defense, and completed the rendezvous between the Allied forces and the Hydra rebels.
After completing their predetermined goals, the Allies did not continue to advance.
Because just like the Normandy landing, there are still a large number of scattered German troops scattered on this front. If they don't have a few months, I'm afraid they won't be able to clear them all.
But generally speaking, the top leaders of the Allied forces have begun to look forward to the end of the war.
But compared to the optimistic Allied top brass, Qiao Xi was a little worried at this time.
Others don't know about Red Skull's super weapon, but he does.
That is something more terrifying than a nuclear bomb... Although a nuclear bomb is scary, apart from the core explosion area, there are still some bodies left in places a little further away.
But if the Red Skull throws the super bomb made from the energy of the Cosmic Cube, the whole city may really be wiped out.
If the history of this world has not changed much, then Josie may still be able to sit back and wait for the American team to defeat the Red Skull and watch the frozen Arctic Ocean.
But now, this history has changed beyond recognition... If it was just a coup in Austria and Bavaria, the Red Skull might not necessarily jump over the wall.
But now that the Red Skull has almost completely lost the Balkans in advance, the situation is different.
What if that piece of shit like the Red Skull completes the development of super weapons ahead of schedule and then bombs the United States ahead of schedule?
To be honest, it doesn't really matter to Josie whether Team America will be frozen like the direction of the original time and space.
At best, he is just a super soldier. Apart from the timeliness of the animalization potion, he is not much weaker than the opponent. However, with the blessing of numbers, the US team is not invincible.
What's more, with Yuri's ability, it is only a matter of time before he develops a better super soldier potion.
But if the United States was bombed by the Red Skull, it would be a big deal.
Josie doesn't care how many ordinary Americans die, but damn, his woman and unborn child are still in the United States.
Let Margot move? The baby is more than seven months old now. What if something happens on the way?
No, Josie felt that she had to find a way to reveal the news that the Red Skull had a super weapon.
