Reborn South Africa as a police officer

There were indeed tanks, but not the state-of-the-art "King Tiger", not even the [-] and [-], but the Panzer [-], which Germany had had before the war broke out.

The No. 1500 was an unsuccessful series, and only 1940 units of the No. [-] J type were produced, and it was gradually replaced by the No. [-] from [-].

After the No. [-] and No. [-] became the main tanks of the German army, the German army tried to improve the No. [-] tank, and once converted part of the No. [-] tank into a flame-breathing tank for use in the Russian battlefield.

This transformation was not successful either, and the No. [-] was then heavily equipped to the second-line troops stationed in the occupying country. Most of the armored forces in France were equipped with the No. [-] and the No. [-] produced earlier.

The combat weight of the No. 25 tank is only 45 tons, and the thickness of the main frontal armor is only 50 mm. Its armament system is a [-] mm tank gun and a coaxial machine gun, not even an anti-aircraft machine gun.

The performance of No. [-] is weaker, but even so, when light infantry faces these two tanks, if they do not have weapons at hand, they will be easily slaughtered.

After the street was filled with smoke, the captain jumped out from behind the low wall and rushed to the opposite street.

This is the habit of the southern African army. British and French officers would say when charging: Come on!
Southern African officers "follow me", so soldiers in southern Africa will always be braver than the British and French troops.

A dozen soldiers followed the captain across the street when they heard the sound of tank engines.

The captain was not in a hurry, but observed first. After finding out that it was the No. [-] tank, and there was only one, the captain raised his hand and called the fireman with the rocket launcher on his back.

The equipment of the southern African army is also different. The mountain infantry is equipped with less armored units, and there are more special weapons such as rocket launchers and flamethrowers. These two types of armored units are only equipped at the first level of the platoon, and the mountain infantry directly goes to the squadron. .

At this time, the distance was so close that the firemen did not need to aim. A rocket shot passed, and the front of the Panzer No. [-] tank was penetrated. The commander survived by luck. He opened the top cover and tried to escape, but was shot dead by the riflemen. .

Semi-automatic rifles are really easy to use in this environment. Mauser has to fire a shot and pull the bolt. Semi-automatic rifles can be pulled continuously. Two semi-automatic rifles can produce an effect similar to a light machine gun.

"Go up, go up, go up—" The captain didn't stop, and led the soldiers to move on.

Bah!
The German sniper fired again, but this time it still missed, and it is estimated that the technology is not very good.

It’s also normal. The excellent snipers of the German army are all in line with the Vasily in Russia. How can the garrison army have excellent snipers? Even if there are, they are veterans who retired from the last world war. easy to say.

After the start of the "Overlord" operation, among the German prisoners captured by the Allied forces, the oldest was 69 years old, and the youngest was only 11 years old.

11 years old!
Just started secondary school in Southern Africa.

The age of 69 is already the age to support one's life, but in Europe, he still has to fight to the death with the Allied forces and these young people in their 20s, which is both hateful and sad.

There was no third chance for German snipers. The precision shooters in the southern African army were all young, strong and experienced. The German snipers hiding in the ruins were quickly discovered and killed in one blow.

The duel between snipers is the epitome of the second Caen attack.

One side is fully prepared, has the upper hand, and has sufficient troops.

On the other side, the beasts are still fighting, the logistics are cut off, and the army is fighting alone. This was originally a battle without suspense, but the British made it into a series.

Not only the German army in Caen, but also the German army in Paris is still struggling.

As early as ten days ago, the railway workers in Paris went on strike, which completely interrupted the traffic between Paris and the outside world.

Workers' strikes can be regarded as a French tradition. During the French Republic, workers would go on strike every once in a while, and the frequency was similar to that of vacations.

The strike frequency of French railway workers is particularly frequent, not only for a long time, but also with a firm attitude. As long as the goal is not achieved, even if the king of heaven comes, I will not go to work.

When the French Republic ruled, the French railway workers were so brave to resist. Now that the Germans rule, the French railway workers have more reasons to strike.

Unlike before, the striking railway workers did not go home to sleep, but took the initiative to join the rebels to fight against the German rule, which effectively responded to the Allied attack.

Unlike the old, weak, sick and disabled in the German army, the railway workers are all young people in their prime of life, full of energy and energy, and the key is to be organized and disciplined, which is even more terrifying.

When the news reached Lyon, Patton and de Gaulle were speechless.

What surprised Patton was: Since the French were so brave to resist, why did they surrender after only 39 days of fighting?

De Gaulle's entanglement point is: when he saw the news of the French railway workers' strike, his first reaction was not excitement, but embarrassment and worry——

French railway workers not only bravely resisted German rule, but also treated the French government.

De Gaulle and others will definitely be the ones who will be the President of France after the war is over.

So Dietrich von Choltitz's desperation now is a true portrayal of the future de Gaulle.

Von Choltitz was the commander of the German army stationed in Paris. He was born in a Prussian military family and graduated from the highly disciplined Saxon Military Academy. In his 29 years of military career, Choltitz has always been known for his unconditional obedience to orders and resolute completion of tasks. .

Von Choltitz is recognized as a tough guy, an officer who never asks how strict the order is, but resolutely executes it.

In the bloody Battle of Sevastopol on the Eastern Front, Choltitz was ordered to lead a division to cover the retreat of the main German army. During the mission, Choltitz meticulously implemented the scorched earth policy.

Mustache sent Choltitz to France because of Choltitz's resolute execution of the order.

On July 7, von Choltitz arrived in Paris. At this time, he was carrying a secret order from Mustache. When the Allied forces attacked Paris and the German army could not win the battle, von Choltitz would completely destroy Paris. destroy.

Von Choltitz resolutely carried out the order of the mustache. In the past half a month, the German army has placed explosives in all strategic locations and famous scenic spots in Paris, including Notre Dame de Paris, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and other famous historical buildings. .

Patton and de Gaulle did not know how much explosives von Choltitz used.

Intelligence personnel estimated that those explosives were enough to blow up half the world's bridges.

"I have already sent someone to secretly contact Choltitz, hoping that he will give up his mission and avoid major losses in Paris." Barton also does not want Paris to be destroyed by war. There are still so many treasures in the Louvre, and the Germans don't want it. , it can be given to Southern Africa——

"This man is notoriously a tough guy. Instead of instigating against him, it is better to send someone to kill him!" De Gaulle was concerned, but he was in chaos.

Even the mustache is now at the end of the road.

"Tough guys also have weaknesses—" Barton doesn't believe in evil, and there is a saying: men don't care about loyalty, loyalty is because the bargaining chip for betrayal is too low.

When Barton was working next to Roque, Roque often used a sentence: Give him an offer he cannot refuse.

Choltitz's weakness is family.

A tough guy with iron, there is also the softest part in his heart that cannot be touched.

Choltitz is not afraid of death in order to carry out the order, but that doesn't mean he can drag his family to die together.

Before Rommel took poison and committed suicide, he asked not to implicate his family, Choltitz can also give up his faith for his family.

"You sent someone to kidnap his family?" De Gaulle had a new understanding of Button's style of doing things.

For a long time, de Gaulle had a positive view of the generals in southern Africa.

Some generals in southern Africa are greedy for money, some are attached to power, and some are fond of sex.

But in general, the generals in southern Africa—or everyone in southern Africa has a bottom line, and this bottom line is the moral bottom line they were born with.

If Patton kidnapped Choltitz's family in order to instigate Choltitz's rebellion, even if it was for a noble purpose, the method would be despicable.

Of course, de Gaulle did not resist such meanness.

If Choltitz's family is kidnapped, Paris can be saved.

Then de Gaulle would go to Germany himself and kidnap Choltitz's family members back to France.

The moral bottom line is for moral people.

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

"How is it possible? I mean, I sent someone to Berlin to persuade Choltitz's family to go to the light!" Barton said with a solemn face.

"Oh—" De Gaulle said meaningfully.

What he said made de Gaulle, who had just thought about it a little bit, feel ashamed.

Patton was not lying, he had indeed sent someone to Berlin to convince Choltitz's family to go to the light.

As for what the Patton faction will do, Patton has nothing to do with it.

As the saying goes, you will be outside, and you will not suffer from it——

"Then shall we temporarily suspend the attack on Paris?" De Gaulle now can't care about the competition with the British and Americans. Compared with the safety of Paris, his personal honor is insignificant.

"Of course not, we have to put enough pressure on Choltitz, and don't forget that the railway workers in Paris are still waiting for us to save them." Patton would not stop attacking.

Instigating rebellion is too risky, and if it fails, they still have to go back to the routine of urban offensive and defensive warfare. Patton does not want to give the German defenders a chance to breathe.

Of course, this is also because the current battles are all in the outer suburbs of Paris, far from entering the city of Paris.

This is also normal. Now Paris is full of explosives. The German army may destroy every bridge on the Seine at any time. If you stay in Paris, you will not only be attacked by the rebels, but also face the threat of explosives at any time. The Germans are not so concerned. big.

There are not many people defending the city of Paris. There are only two divisions in name, but the actual strength is only in the early [-]s. There are also four divisions stationed in the outer suburbs of Paris. These troops have built a semi-circular defense line around Paris.

The 15th Armored Division located at the protruding part of the arrow of the Allied Forces is no longer the 2th Armored Division, but replaced by the [-]nd Armored Division of the Free French Army.

The 2nd Armored Division is now less than [-] kilometers away from Paris, and in front of Leclerc is the Seine, the largest river in northern France.

With a total length of 776 kilometers, the Seine is one of the most famous rivers in Europe. Paris was originally established from some of the main crossings of the Seine.

"Explosives were installed under this bridge, the bridge structure was destroyed, and our tanks could not pass through." Lucas, Leclerc's chief of staff, was very sad. The Seine River is the mother river of all French people, but it was treated so cruelly by the Germans. .

The Seine River is wide, and it is very difficult to build bridges on the river, and each bridge is expensive.

Now the Germans have installed explosives on all the bridges on the Seine near Paris in order to destroy the bridges. This behavior is simply insane.

When the 2nd Armored Division arrived at the bridge, the bridge was already under the control of the partisans, so the Germans had not had time to detonate the explosives.

It's really good luck.

"Then proceed along the river, can the truck pass?" Leclerc overcame all difficulties and wanted to reach Paris as quickly as possible.

"The truck should be fine, but if the truck loses the protection of the tank—" Lucas did not suggest dividing the troops, the German army still has the ability to resist.

Just now, several German bombers tried to attack the 2nd Armored Division, but were easily repelled by the anti-aircraft machine guns on the tanks.

Germany does not have an air force in France, but concentrates all its air forces in Paris, trying to fight the Allies to the death.

But unfortunately, like the army's tanks, the German aircraft that have appeared are all obsolete and obsolete, with slow speeds, weak firepower, and most importantly, lack of fuel, so the frequency of dispatches is very low.

"Our Algiers tanks can't beat the Germans' No. [-] and No. [-], can't they even beat No. [-] and No. [-]?" The Sixth Armored Division of the Free French Army suffered heavy losses in World War I and was pursued by the Allied Air Force. It is said that less than ten tanks fled back to Paris.

Now that De Broglie and Grote have become heroes of Free France, not only de Gaulle will award the Medal of Honor to De Broglie and Grote, but the Federal Government of Southern Africa will also award them the Medal of Victory.

The Victory Medal is the third rank in the southern African order system.

The Medal of Honor is the highest rank in the French Order of Merit.

From the weight of these two medals, it is not difficult to see the weight of the French campaign in the overall battle of the Allied forces.

Leclerc may not care about the Victory Medal, but he cares about the limited amount of the Medal of Honor. Every place in this medal is very precious.

The overall performance of the Algiers tank is similar to that of the German IV.

Germany's elite tankers are also on the Russian battlefield. The tankers on the French side may be tractor drivers who have just been recruited. Their familiarity with tanks is far inferior to that of the Free French soldiers under Leclerc.

The 2nd Armored Division under the command of Leclerc was formed not long ago to regain Paris. The soldiers are all composed of whites. This has a special meaning.
