Reborn South Africa as a police officer

It is certainly not possible to incendiary bomb the ground for Paris like it did for Tokyo. Bombers can only be used to drop leaflets.

Before "Overlord" began, de Gaulle went to London and had an argument with Winston about whether to bomb the German troops in Paris.

Winston called for an all-out attack on the Germans, whether they were stationed in Berlin or in Paris, because the Germans were using V2 rockets to bomb London indiscriminately.

Since London was bombed by the Germans, Paris could also be bombed by the Allies.

De Gaulle firmly opposed it.

As a famous cultural city with countless historical monuments, Paris is the pride of all French people. Charles de Gaulle hoped to find a way to recover Paris peacefully, instead of razing Paris to the ground with incendiary bombs.

Patton partly supported de Gaulle's decision.

If the German army is willing to leave Paris, Patton can even let the German army die and let the German army return to Germany.

Anyway, the Allied forces will definitely invade Germany next, and those German troops will eventually fail to escape the fate of defeat.

If the German army sticks to Paris, Patton will also order the troops to attack. At most, when they reach Notre Dame de Paris, the Allied tanks will restrain themselves.

The leaflet offensive against Paris has started since the beginning of June. In addition to leaflets calling on the French to stand up against the evil Germany, there is also a leaflet persuading them to surrender. If German officers and soldiers hold this leaflet, they can surrender Get treatment that matches your status.

The bomber carrying the leaflets took off from Toulon Airport, and it took an hour and a half to fly to Paris.

When the bomber passed Lyon, it received a call from the ground. The [-]th Armored Division, which served as the forward, was being frantically attacked by the [-]th SS Armored Division, and called nearby bombers for rapid support.

The captain was very helpless. Although his plane was a bomber, the magazines were filled with leaflets, and he could not provide any help to the Sixth Armored Division.

The situation in the [-]th Armored Division was indeed dangerous.

Facing the two-sided attack of the Allied forces, Kruger did not stand still. He adjusted the defense line and actively looked for opportunities to counterattack. At this time, the Sixth Armored Division bumped into him, and Kruger immediately dispatched his most powerful SS. Fourth Armored Division.

Günther von Kruger, born in a Junker noble, participated in the First World War and won the Royal Order of the Hohenzollern with two swords as a lieutenant.

During the period of the Weimar Republic, Kruger had been serving in the army. After the outbreak of World War II, he performed well during the Polish and French campaigns. Later, he experienced the baptism of the Russian battlefield until he was appointed by Mustache as the commander-in-chief of the Western European battlefield.

Kruger is a conflicted man. He met with Dr. Godler last winter and made up his mind to get rid of the mustache, but wavered at the last moment for fear of sparking a civil war between the SS and the Wehrmacht.

Then Kruger was seriously injured in a car accident, and he became a mustache supporter again after he recovered from his injury. His experience was exactly the opposite of Rommel's.

There was also a fierce quarrel between Kruger and Rommel. Rommel said that Kruger was a bumpkin on the Eastern Front, and Kruger said that Rommel had never been to the Eastern Front.

Rommel was very angry and reminded Kruger that he was also a field marshal, but Kruger satirized that Rommel's field marshal could only command a few divisions, and he was not at the same level as the field marshal who had commanded the German Army Group Center.

The six tank divisions under Rommel's command are now in Caen. The [-]th SS Panzer Division came to the French battlefield with Kruger. After returning to Germany from Russia, this division rested for four full months. And weapons and equipment have been effectively supplemented, and morale is booming.

"German armored units appeared on our left and right flanks. This is the pincer attack that the German army is best at. If we retreat, we will be chased by the German army. If we stick to it, we will be heavily surrounded by the German army!" Luke Grote was sweating profusely. Just now, the German army broke through the left-wing position of the Sixth Armored Division. Luke led the divisional guard company to launch a counterattack before driving the German army out of the position.

Although the divisional guard company is equipped with fewer tanks, they are all standard southern African "Leopard" tanks, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the German No. [-].

"Order the troops to stand firm and not retreat a single step!" Jacques de Brogue seemed crazy, and he couldn't accept failure.

If it fails, it will be the first defeat of the Free French Army in mainland France.

The ones in North Africa are not counted. At that time, the Free French Army was not complete, and there were not many tanks. It was normal that they could not beat Rommel.

At the moment in 1944, although the equipment level of the Free French Army was not as good as that of southern Africa, the United States, and Russia, whose equipment level was rising steadily——

In this way, it seems that it can only be compared with the British army.

This is so hurtful.

The United Kingdom is a sea power country, and the army has two or three kittens and puppies, which is not even as good as Spain.

Speaking of Spain, Spain is now strong and strong.

After the fall of Franco, Spain created a defense force of 30 men with the help of southern Africa.

At the same time as the "Overlord" and "Dragon Cavalry" operations were launched, the Third Army and the Spanish army stationed in Spain also invaded France. The actions of the Allied forces along the way were not eye-catching, but the results were even more brilliant. When the Toulon Allies were blocked in Caen and Lyon, the Spanish Allies had already begun to sweep the Brittany Peninsula.

The Brittany Peninsula was originally the task of the Allied forces in Normandy. After the Allied forces landed in Normandy, they would launch attacks on the north and south respectively.

In Eisenhower's plan, after the Spanish Allied Forces invaded France, they would join the Toulon Allied Forces and the Normandy Allied Forces at the fastest speed to connect the front lines, and then the Toulon Allied Forces and the Spanish Allied Forces , all under the command of the Western European Union Army Headquarters, that is, Eisenhower.

The plan was good, but the Normandy Allied Forces performed too well, and neither of the two tasks was completed. The Toulon Allied Forces did not move closer to the Normandy Allied Forces. Nearly 6 captured German troops were annihilated within a month. This result surprised many people.

The Spanish Allied Forces performed well, and Patton, as the previous commander of the Third Army, was honored.

Montgomery was furious.

Montgomery believed that if the German army in southern France had not been attracted to Normandy, the progress of the Spanish Allied forces would never have been so fast, so the military medals of the Spanish Allied forces were at least a quarter of that of the British army in Normandy.

In terms of Montgomery's character, this is a relatively modest statement. If Montgomery didn't need the help of the southern African army and the US military in the future, then it would never be only a quarter of it.

Americans are also uncomfortable.

Strictly speaking, it was the task of the U.S. military to eliminate the remaining German troops on the Brittany Peninsula. However, after Patton captured Cherbourg, he led the main force of the Third Army to go north to support Caen, leaving only the Ninth Army to take charge of the follow-up tasks. For the 9th Army, it is a bit difficult.

There is only one armored division and one infantry division under the Ninth Army, and there are at least six remaining German divisions in the Brittany Peninsula, of which four divisions are stationed in Brest alone.

Two divisions against six divisions, even if the German army is scattered, this task is difficult to complete.

The Spanish Allies arrived just in time, much to Patton's dismay.

Although Patton was uncomfortable, at least the 9th Army was much more relaxed.

The Sixth Armored Division had no reinforcements, and the nearest allied force was fifty kilometers away.

"I have called for air support. As long as we persist until dark, victory will eventually belong to us!" De Broglie cheered up the frontline commanders on the phone.

The response of the frontline commanders was to ask for support, which must be done immediately, otherwise the position will be breached by the Germans at any time.

"We have German armored units in front of us. It's the German No. [-] and No. [-]. God, there are also new German tanks. We need support—"

"There are only 6 tanks left in my unit that can still be activated. It will be difficult to withstand the next German attack. The Germans are simply crazy, regardless of casualties—"

"The guerrillas found the German army turning around, and the German army appeared behind us—"

Bad news from all directions.

De Broglie calmed down: "Great, German troops have appeared in all directions around us, so we are surrounded, so let's fight to the death, I will never surrender a second time!"

There was silence on the phone.

After a while, Louis Gunther, the commander of the 29th regiment in charge of the defense on the west side, said on the phone: "Long live France!"

"Long live France!"

This time the response was neat, the French were still bloody, they just had the misfortune of encountering a bunch of incompetent commanders.

Gunther put down the phone, grabbed the Nyasaran rifle next to the phone, rushed out of the command post, and went to the front line to fight.

"Colonel, your combat position is at the command post!" Gunther's adjutant Foster persuaded in a low voice.

"We have no reinforcements, and we can't draw troops from anywhere else. Now I have to fulfill my obligations as a French soldier." Gunther passed the supply point and stuffed all his pockets with grenades.

Foster was stunned for a moment, but he stopped trying to persuade him, and simply picked up a box of grenades and followed Gunther.

The Free French Army doesn't have many bazookas, but there are as many grenades as there are.

The battle started again soon, and the Germans knew that the Sixth Armored Division was at the end of its rope, so they went all out without giving the French any chance to breathe.

"Wait, wait, bring the Germans closer and hit—" Gunther hid behind a destroyed tank, watching the approaching German tanks.

The Germans are very smart. The tanks did not keep moving forward, but stopped and stopped, not letting go of any doubts.

Once a possible Free French firepower point was found, the German tanks would stop, aim and shoot, and then move on after destroying it.

This feeling of being unable to fight back and being beaten passively sucks.

"Order our tanks to hide well. After the German tanks attack our position, attack the side or rear of the German tanks as much as possible. Pay special attention to the engine. The German engines are all gasoline engines. Once attacked, they are easy to catch fire." Gunther kept talking, which was an effective way to relieve his stress.

Foster did not speak, and was using tape to try to bundle several grenades together to make a cluster grenade.

This is not easy, the egg grenade is difficult to tie together, if it is a grenade with a wooden handle, it is much more convenient.

In fact, the Sixth Armored Division also has the ability to counterattack. The 88mm high-level dual-purpose gun is very good for fighting tanks with the barrel flat.

The camouflage work of an 88 gun was not good enough, and it was discovered by the German tanks. Three German tanks fired at the bunker of the 88 gun at the same time. Three seconds later, the bunker and the 88 gun were completely destroyed. All six Free French soldiers in the position killed.

Some soldiers of the Free French Army couldn't resist shooting. The bullets hit the solid body of the tank without even leaving a white spot. Instead, it caused crazy shooting from tank guns and coaxial machine guns.

It is amazing that the tanks of the German Wehrmacht have difficulty even dispatching due to lack of fuel.

The SS has sufficient logistics, and they don't know how to use bullets and shells sparingly.

That's right, what the Germans lack is fuel, not shells.

As the German tanks got closer, Gunther could feel the ground shaking more and more violently.

Suddenly gunshots and grenade explosions sounded intensively, and the German tanks finally reached the attack range of the grenades.

Gunther observed through the gap between the car body and threw the grenades one by one without exposing his body.

Foster finally made a cluster grenade, pulled the ring and threw it out, but the force was not strong enough, and the binding was not strong enough. The tape spread in the air and flew less than ten meters away.

"Wo Cao, you are a mole sent by the Germans!" Gunther ran away with his head in his arms. If he didn't die in the hands of the Germans, but died under the adjutant's grenade, it would be too wronged.

"I didn't know it would be like this—" Foster wanted to cry, but he was blown to the ground by the huge impact just after taking two steps.

This--

It's not like the effect of a grenade.

The sound of the explosion was also a little louder.

Gunther and Foster looked back, and a close-ground support aircraft with the southern African military emblem painted on the lower wing flew by above.

"Bomber! Our bomber!" Foster's cheers were choked with sobs.

"It's great, Southern Africa, I love you!" Gunther laughed loudly and raised his arms, and suddenly there was the sound of stray bullets passing by his ears.

Right, now is not the time to celebrate, the battle is not over yet.

At this time, the Algiers tanks that had been hiding in the bunker finally rushed out. The 75mm tank gun was not as powerful as the 88mm gun. It was difficult to penetrate the armor when attacking No. [-] and King Tiger from the front. The effect of attacking the side was good. The side of No. [-] was hit, and the sound of shrapnel raging in the narrow cabin, mixed with the screams of the German tankers, was the most beautiful note in the world to Gunther.

Gunther got up and half knelt, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger at a German soldier not far away.

The German soldiers fell to the ground in response, and Gunther aimed at the next target, but Foster beside him gradually lost his voice.
