Reborn South Africa as a police officer

In order to allow Choltitz to better complete the task, the Allied forces will also launch some tentative attacks on Paris to cooperate with Choltitz's actions.

Leclerc finally had a chance. His troops would complete the important task of recovering Paris. This was a consensus reached within the Allied Forces. Montgomery even sent a congratulatory message to de Gaulle in advance, congratulating the Free French Army led by de Gaulle on completing this mission. great task.

This telegram made de Gaulle very angry.

This is not a congratulation at all, but a mockery of de Gaulle.

Because of this telegram, it seems that the British army gave the Free France the great glory of regaining Paris, rather than the Free French army achieving this achievement through their own efforts.

"Now you know why I hate the British so much. They always have a way to add bad luck to you on the most festive day." De Gaulle was very angry, but he was more worried that the relationship between France and Britain would affect the Southern Africa and France.

In any case, southern Africa was once a British colony.

Europeans have deep-rooted thinking about the fetters of the suzerain country on the colonies.

"Montgomery does not represent all British people. His jealousy stems from your excellent performance. The performance of the Free French Army on the battlefield made Montgomery look like an idiot." one level.

Don't listen to Gandi's non-violence and non-cooperation all day long, this guy is a hypocrite through and through. When Wewell and Mountbatten invited Gandi to dinner, Gandi cooperated. Even if he was on a hunger strike, he would happily go to the banquet.

It has been scientifically proven that a person can survive for a week without food, but only three days without water.

If Emperor Gan really wanted to go on a hunger strike, the grass on his grave would be ten feet high.

"But you can't deny that Montgomery's attitude represents the British elite." De Gaulle seemed to have forgotten that the attitude of the French elite towards Britain was equally bad.

Not even the elite.

Here we still take the French Resistance Army as an example. From the strength of support for Operation "Overlord" and Operation "Dragoon", it is easy to see the attitude of the French towards Britain.

Leaving aside how Montgomery disgusted de Gaulle, after Choltitz decided to join the camp of light, Leclerc finally got the right to go all out and attack the German positions.

According to the habit of the Allied Forces, the attack still starts from the air. During the few days when the 2nd Armored Division stopped attacking, it used construction machinery to build a field airport on the banks of the Seine River. Armored divisions provide support.

Before the 2nd Armored Division arrived in Paris, the Allied fleet had visited Paris many times. At the beginning, the Luftwaffe tried to compete with the Allies for air supremacy in Paris. However, the number and technology of the people fell behind. After losing nearly 160 fighter jets, the Germans gave up completely. In this attempt, the few remaining fighter planes were withdrawn from Paris at night, and the sky of Paris was handed over.

The battle was uneventful. While the air force was bombing, the artillery also began shelling the German positions.

The German counterattack was very weak, the number of artillery was small, the caliber was small, and the artillery experience was not enough. Even if the mathematicians in the army calculated the positions of the Allied artillery positions based on ballistics, the German artillery did not have enough strength to carry out a counterattack against the Allied artillery. Counter. …

Combat forces have even greater disparities.

The Free French Army has not practiced anything else in the past few years, and the coordination of infantry and artillery and the coordination of infantry and tanks have reached a very high level.

After all, it is a country with traditional land power, and its army background is still there. If it weren't for the fact that the French command level was too conservative, and the money that should have been built for tanks was used to build the Maginot Line of Defense, France would not have been so miserable.

Now that the Free French Army has finally returned to the right path, two years is not enough for the Free French Army to be reborn, and it is enough to deal with the old, weak, sick and disabled in Paris.

In fact, when the Free French army jumped out of the starting position under the leadership of the "Leopard" tank, the battle was basically over.

The German army's will to resist is very weak. For several months, there has been bad news from all sides, and the German army stationed in Paris has become a frightened bird.

Some time ago, the fiasco of the [-]th Armored Division of the SS really sounded the alarm for the German army in Paris.

Even the Fourth Armored Division of the SS was beaten to the point where the entire army was almost wiped out, which made other troops fight.

Kruger never imagined that his reckless initiative would lead to the loss of morale of all German troops.

The "Charles de Gaulle" assault battalion equipped with "Leopard" tanks is the only unit of the 2nd Armored Division with an exclusive name. The battalion commander, Major Kelsen, is an experienced veteran who participated in the last World War. After the war, he went to the umbrella Corporate work, never left the field for 20 years.

"Go ahead and leave the work of receiving prisoners to the follow-up troops and guerrillas. We have only one mission, attack! attack! keep attacking!" Major Kelsen's tank, the entire turret was painted red, in a large area The gray-green "leopard" is extremely conspicuous.

This behavior is very dangerous. Almost all armored force commanders will try their best to avoid the exposure of command vehicles.

In the early days, when only some tanks were equipped with radio systems, the tank where the commander was located was easy to be found because of the long antenna.

Engineers later installed antennas on all tanks, with or without radios.

Major Kelsen has strong personal heroism. In order to have a more comfortable working environment, the commanders of other armored forces usually choose a more spacious armored command vehicle and will not go deep into the front line.

Major Kelsen never did, he always demanded himself by the standards of armored soldiers, which won him the heartfelt love of all officers and men of the "Charles de Gaulle" commando battalion.

"Major, we have already broken through two German positions in a row. If we continue to advance, we will be seriously out of touch with the follow-up troops." Deputy Battalion Commander Lucius has been serving in the colonies. .

The positions of the Germans were very perfunctory. A division was only responsible for one defensive position, and there was no depth at all.

That's right, Paris is behind, so what depth is needed, unless the position is arranged in a residential area.

If it was a real field force, Kelsen would never dare to go deep alone.

It doesn't matter now, the two lines of defense that just broke through are all servants, from Romania and Italy respectively. These two countries have already announced their withdrawal from the war. How could their soldiers have the intention to fight? …

The tank driven by Kelsen has only fired one shot so far, and it is uncertain whether there will be any results. However, Kelsen witnessed the surrender of the Axis terrorists, and there must be more than 3000.
This is the defeat of the army.

Wherever the "Leopard" tank went, the enemy had no intention of fighting at all. They fired a few shots into the sky symbolically, and large tracts of land surrendered, without even having time to destroy weapons and equipment. The 88mm dual-purpose gun without unboxing.

I have to say that this is in line with the habits of the Italians.

"Don't worry about that, I'm going to be the first Frenchman to drive a tank back to Paris, our enemy is vulnerable!" Kelsen laughed wildly, and the "Leopard" engine roared and continued to move forward.

After crossing a small river and bypassing a forest, the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, the road suddenly widened, and there were continuous buildings in the distance. Kelsen was ecstatic in his heart, and he was getting closer and closer to Paris.

In front is a small town on the outskirts of Paris, which is already the essence of France. Even a small town is not small, and it has not been poisoned by the flames of war. The Allied bombers are relatively restrained towards Paris.

The "Leopard" tanks hadn't entered the town yet, but the town was already boiling with excitement. The streets were crowded with excited crowds. About a company of Axis troops had put down their weapons and lined up in the center of the street to surrender.

The situation of these Axis soldiers was very bad. They all looked like they had just died.

The people around were yelling at them, spitting at them, and throwing stones. Several guys who faced more vicious faces had been knocked down to the ground. A dozen people surrounded them and beat them up. Some people brought ropes, tied them up, and dragged them with horses. Demonstrated in the street.

Looking at the blood-stained marks in the middle of the street, Kelsen's mood remained unchanged.

"You are finally here, we miss you day and night, and look forward to you every day, God bless France—" an old man with white hair patted the "Leopard" tank and cried.

"Are all the Germans here?" Kelsen volunteered.

"It's all here—"

"These bad guys also put dynamite on the bridge and tried to blow it up—"

"They originally wanted to escape, but unfortunately the railway workers went on strike and all trains stopped running. Even if they can drive themselves, we have a way to cut off the railway."

The people around are chattering, the French really have the spirit of resistance, they don't believe in authority, fortunately the Free French Army arrived here first, otherwise they might not be able to get their cheers.

"How far is it from Paris?" Kelsen did not forget his mission.

"Less than ten kilometers!" Someone offered to be a guide.

Then move on.

The tankers finally broke through the excited crowd and continued their journey, which was much more difficult than fighting the Germans.

The German army really doesn't care about the Free French army now, and they can't protect themselves.

The most effective way to eliminate hidden dangers is to let the German army leave Paris on its own initiative.

For this reason, Choltitz gave orders to the troops under his command to leave Paris and reinforce the German defense lines around Paris.

Mustache didn't completely trust Choltitz. In order to ensure that the order to destroy Paris was resolutely implemented, the people responsible for detonating the explosives were all loyal SS and secret police. One of those secret police made many people A daunting name—the Gestapo. …

Fortunately, there are not many people in this group, only about 200 in total, and they are scattered all over the city. What they have to face is the rebel army with a total of more than 2 people, and the Vichy French army who turned back before the battle.

Probably surrendered once, with enough experience, the Vichy French army is familiar with surrendering. Many people were forced to surrender before, but now they finally returned to the justice camp. Zhao Dexue's sense of urgency.

There are also people who take this opportunity to accumulate capital so that they can get promoted in the new government in the future.

There are even people who take advantage of the fire to rob. No matter what the future holds, if you make a fortune now, these people will end up miserable.

In short, Paris is very lively these days.

Choltitz's headquarters in the center of Paris, he has one last trouble to deal with before handing over Paris in its entirety to the Allies, Colonel Wagner from the SS, who controls all the detonators in Paris, Choltitz It is necessary to ensure that Wagner cannot issue any order before the Allied forces enter Paris.

Wagner has noticed the abnormal movement of the German army. According to Mustache's instructions, Choltitz's troops will conduct a city offensive and defensive battle with the Allied forces in downtown Paris. Wagner will not order Paris to be completely detonated until the last moment.

Choltitz, with his captain of the guard, went with Karl to Wagner.

Wagner was wary of Choltitz. The floor where his office was located was all controlled by the SS. Choltitz ordered the telephone lines of the entire building to be cut before going upstairs. There was an independently powered wireless telegraph, and as long as Wagner ordered it, the worst could still happen.

"General, are you ready to betray the Führer?" Wagner was in a bad mood, and he already had a premonition that Choltitz would not carry out Mustache's order.

"I am still loyal to Germany!" Choltitz did not directly answer Wagner's question.

"Heh, it's really funny. Don't Junker soldiers take it as their vocation to execute orders? You are known as the purest soldier, and you are trusted by the Führer. Your wife and children are still in Berlin, so you not only betrayed the Führer, you also Betrayed his family." Wagner tried to redeem, knowing how much Choltitz valued his family.

"Open the window and look outside. This city has a history of 1000 years, and there are tens of thousands of people living here. Their ancestors have lived here for generations. If we completely destroy this city, the hatred between Germany and France will be deepened beyond resolution. To the extent that the French will treat Berlin in the same way, which neither you nor I want to see." Choltitz tried to persuade.

"Shut up! You traitor, you are not qualified to say such things. You are making excuses for your cowardice. You, like your family, will meet again in hell!" Wagner was furious, reaching for his gun.

SS officers, in terms of combat effectiveness, certainly cannot compare with the generals of the field army who fought bloody battles with the Russians on the Russian battlefield.

Just as Wagner's hand touched the handle of the gun at his waist, Choltitz and the captain of the guard fired at the same time, and Wagner was hit by several shots at the same time.

"God, you're too risky. I really don't want to see this happen again." Carl was trembling at this moment, which was a new experience for him.
