Chapter 153 Occupied France (excessive chapter!)

Victor didn't stay long in Paris, he just walked around for a few days before leaving this city that was about to become a sad place.

Shortly after Victor left Paris, the Germans launched what they called Operation Sickle.

The Germans first used a large number of bombers to violently bomb the airports, railway junctions, heavily assembled areas and cities in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

After the bombing ended, the German army launched a full-scale offensive on the more than 300-kilometer front from the North Sea to the Maginot Line of Defense.

They first deployed an army group and launched a fierce attack towards the Netherlands and Belgium.During the period, a large number of airborne troops were also deployed, and attacks were carried out on important bridges and fortifications in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Under the attack of the powerful armored group of the German army and the airborne troops in the rear, the armies of the Netherlands and Belgium fell into chaos and then collapsed thousands of miles away.

The triumphant advance of the Germans forced the Anglo-French coalition forces originally stationed in northern France to cross the French-Belgian border for rapid reinforcements.

In addition, the Germans formed another army group and launched a feint attack towards France's proudest Maginot Line.

Their feint performance was very successful, causing the French army to fall into a state of hesitation between withdrawing troops and continuing to attack.

At this time, the German army that was really in charge of the offensive finally crossed the 110-kilometer-long canyon of the Ardennes and penetrated deep into the territory of France.

Then, that afternoon, three armored divisions under Guderian captured the famous French fortress city of Sedan.

After capturing Sedan, they did not stop, but stepped up their preparations to cross the river.Whether the Germans can forcibly cross the Meuse River is the key to this battle.

The next morning, shortly after dawn, German planes flooded the sky.They dispatched nearly 400 bombers.

Batches of French positions and artillery groups on the south bank of the Maas River were bombed indiscriminately for as long as 5 hours, and the spirit of the French army was paralyzed.

The French army, which had completely lost their fighting spirit, was unable to organize any decent resistance in the face of hundreds of rubber boats forcibly crossing the Maas River.

Only an hour and a half later, the Germans gained a foothold on the south bank.Subsequently, German engineers began to erect pontoon bridges.

Two and a half hours later, with the help of pontoons, the German first armored division crossed the Meuse.Then under the cover of tanks, the German army began to drive straight in.

Once the French line of defense on the Meuse was lost, the road to Paris and the English Channel was opened to the Germans.

The British and French troops fighting in Belgium are also facing the danger of being outflanked. As for the French army on Chen Bing's Maginot Line of Defense, they are even more vulnerable. At this time, the British and French allied forces felt that the situation was serious.

In order to save its own army still on the European continent, the Great Empire immediately dispatched ten additional fighter squadrons to launch a counterattack together with the Chinese Air Force and the French Air Force stationed in France.

In the afternoon, the Allied fighters over the Darmas River and NC German fighters had the most intense air battle since the war began.

There are more than 500 fighter planes invested by each side. The fighter planes of both sides showed their flying skills in the sky, chasing and entangled with each other. From time to time, some planes caught fire and fell down with black smoke.

Although they did not gain an advantage in the contest with the German fighters, some Allied bombers broke through the opponent's blockade and began to bomb the pontoon bridge.

However, the German army equipped with all kinds of black-tech weapons of Hydra quickly taught them what it means to fight a plane. The German air defense force frantically strangled the British and French planes sneaking in at low altitude with extremely unscientific firepower.

The dense ground-to-air firepower network turned the offensive of the Allied planes into moths that rushed in one batch at a time, and another batch was swallowed up.

This air-to-air melee continued until night fell on the Maas River, and the British and French planes that suffered heavy losses were defeated.

However, most of the pontoon bridges of the German army were intact. In this battle, the German army shot down hundreds of British and French aircraft, of which only the German X Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment took care of 112 aircraft.

After this battle, the sky over France became a paradise for German aircraft.The British and French aircraft, which had completely lost their air supremacy, only dared to reappear at night.

The armored group of the German army began to drive straight in again. Its power and speed were unheard of in the history of war, and France was completely panicked.

As for how panicked they were, I can give an example: when Guderian's three armored divisions were rushing all the way towards Dunkirk.

They encountered hundreds of thousands of scattered French soldiers on the road. They didn't even bother to capture them, but took out their trumpets and shouted at them
"We don't have time to capture you, you just need to lay down your weapons and get off the road, out of the way. We won't hurt you!"

Among them, probably only the disintegrated French army and the shouting German army can experience it.In this way, Guderian flew all the way to only 10 miles away from Dunkirk.

We all know what happened afterwards, and he fell short in the end, achieving the name of the Dunkirk retreat.

But this was not because France fought hard, but because the other party gave up the pursuit.That's right, it was an order from a certain head of state that they gave up.

Although a very successful retreat was completed in Dunkirk, the remaining British and French allied forces never escaped.

They fell into heavy siege by the German army, and soon lost the will to resist.Eventually batches of surrenders began.

The German army successfully entered the undefended city without even spending a single soldier.The capital of France: Paris.

Then more than 200 million French men entered the concentration camps, and in the days that followed, most of them were happy to be fathers.

Finally, when the French armies in Alsace and Lorraine also surrendered, France and NC Germany signed an armistice, the battle was over, and France fell.

In this battle, the German army suffered a total of 15 casualties, while the British and French allied forces suffered as many as 220 million casualties, with a battle loss ratio of 1:15.

When Victor learned that France had fallen, he didn't say much, but just lit another cigarette.Then continue to work for the formation of the Strategic Science Corps. The Federation has no intention of participating in the war at this time, but it will soon.

It was also on this day that President Luo Shifu summoned the heads of the Intelligence Coordination Office and other intelligence departments, and he gave them a secret mission: to find a way for the Federation to join the war reasonably.

And Tina, the person in charge of the Intelligence Coordination Office, after summing up with others, set her sights on the one in East Asia. She always likes to reach out to countries that should not belong to their territory.
