At this time, the front of the Soviet Union was also clouded with battle clouds, and Germany was already fighting on two fronts. If Zhang Jun's national easing policy and land policy had not peacefully resolved the problem of guerrillas and rebels, Germany would definitely not be able to launch a two-front attack. , because there are no guerrillas and rebels, Germany can now mobilize all possible military forces to deal with two-front warfare, which is impossible to imagine in history.

For example, Germany has 200 troops and uses 300 million troops to maintain order and encircle and suppress the occupied areas, so Germany only has 700 million troops available. With Zhang Jun’s policy, Germany can use all 300 million troops on the front line. You can also form millions of troops that you can command in the occupied areas. Compared with the strength of nearly [-] million troops and [-] million troops, this advantage is so great that it cannot be described. This is also one of the reasons why Germany was defeated in history.Instead of making use of the human and financial resources of the occupied areas, a large number of troops were held back by the occupied areas, and the ethnic policy was not lost.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Countless planes flew over the artillery, and flew towards their established target like lightning. There were too many of these planes, batch after batch, and there were all kinds of aircraft. This French campaign What satisfied Zhang Jun the most was the German air force, because at this time the Soviet front had not yet fought, and the transfer of the air force was not a problem at all, so Hitler called the shots and transferred two air forces deployed on the Soviet front to support Zhang. Jun, in the end the air force commanded by Zhang Jun reached more than 800 aircraft.The commander is also Catherine who has a very good appetite with Zhang Jun.

历史上德国的十个装甲师应该有2800辆坦克，实际数量应略多于2400辆远少于3000辆。盟军方面，英法联军指挥官甘末林的数据是拥有3432辆现代化坦克。盟军的坦克数量在3000辆以上。最新法**事历史当局的计算是3100辆其中2285辆是现代化的。实际上盟军坦克数量占优势。

即使在坦克质量上，盟军与德国的差距也不大。德国的主力装备仍然是轻型的mrk2。只装备一门20mm炮。这种坦克再加上1号坦克共有1400辆。德国只拥有349辆装备有37mm炮的mrk3型坦克和278辆只有一门低速75mm炮的mrk4型坦克。法国方面拥有新型33吨重的b型坦克。这种坦克可能是当时世界上最好的坦克。另外有速度很快20吨重的somu坦克。b型坦克旋转炮塔上装有一门47mm高速炮，装甲厚于任何一种德国坦克。somu坦克也装有47mm炮，是当时穿透能力最好的炮。这两种坦克，尽管由于生产上的种种延误，当时法国拥有超过计800辆，超过德国3和4型的总和。

In fact, the Allied numbers on tanks were added to the British 100 infantry tanks, which had thicker armor than any German gram.Their 2-pound guns were more powerful than the German 37mm guns.The biggest flaw of the French "somu" and "b" tanks is that their turrets are operated by a single man, who is both the commander, gunner and loader.British and German tanks of the same period usually had 2-75mm guns on the tank body (fired by the driver) which could only be aimed by turning the tank itself.The rest of the french tanks were mostly r35 and h35 tanks, and their 37mm guns had little effect on armored targets.

However, the biggest flaws of French tanks are that their range is too short and most of them have no wires.To make matters worse, German tank crews were far superior to their opponents in terms of training and ideology of tank use. When marching on Austria in 1938, a large number of German tanks broke down due to malfunctions, but Germany had two years and two campaigns - the Czech Republic and Poland to let him correct his mistakes. It turns out that Germany did not waste the opportunity. There is improvement.In the end, all French tanks were used dispersely. 700-800 vehicles are in the cavalry division or light mechanized division, and 1500-1700 vehicles are organized into many ul battalions to support the infantry.The remaining tanks were organized into three newly formed armored divisions in 1940.Each division had about half as many tanks as the German panzer divisions.

In terms of anti-tank guns, the German 37mm guns will have great difficulty facing the thicker armor of French tanks.The French 47mm guns were much better, but woefully inadequate, with only 16 divisions having them.They use 15 year old tractors and the guns are on trucks.The result is that artillery has cross-country capabilities and medicine cannot keep up.The old 25mm gun lacked power, weighed about half a ton, and was mainly transported by horses. 25mm guns were also lacking in quantity, and the Ninth Army, which would desperately need anti-tank guns in the campaign, had only half the number of 25mm anti-tank guns.The case of anti-tank mines was even more astonishing because, through some extraordinary oversights, no orders were made.Small batches did not reach the front until early May.In terms of artillery, France has an advantage in numbers, about 5 to 11200.But all the guns are horse-drawn and are extremely vulnerable to aerial attack.In addition, France does not have the assault guns that every armored division in Germany has. [

在防空武器方面，法国的形势特别危险。根据roton将军，在5月10r，只有17门90mm高炮。在对于抵抗俯冲轰炸非常重要的轻型防空武器方面，只有22个师装备有20mm厄利空高炮，而这22个师每师只有12门。另外有13个师配备有新型的25mm高炮，每师6门。但是这些高炮只是在4月底才抵达前线。几乎没有时间训练。在各集团军级别另保留有39个炮兵连。其余的法国高炮都是一战时剩下的75mm。法**队的高炮总数约在1500门左右。德国方面则拥有2600门88mm高炮和6700门轻型高炮。各装甲师和摩托化师都分配到相当的数量。

Probably the least rosy of all comparisons in terms of aircraft, the Luftwaffe is almost at its peak.Despite all these efforts, France was still able to produce only 60 aircraft per month, the same as it had been in September 1939.

Germany France UK (in France)

Bomber 1400150-175220

Dive Bomber 342540

Fighter 1000700130

Reconnaissance aircraft 500350-40050

The total number of the French Air Force is about 1200, and the British (if you count the bombers deployed in the homeland that can also participate in the battle) about 600.But with France allocating planes to sectors, the key First Army Group had only 746 planes available.In contrast, Göring could deploy 5000 of the Luftwaffe's total 3500 aircraft to face France.The rest (including j-52) transport aircraft remain in Germany or Norway as reserve forces.The German Army's disadvantage in artillery was more than made up for by the Luftwaffe's bombers.In terms of mobility and training, the Luftwaffe has the experience of Spain and Poland and has an inestimable advantage.

In order to take stock of the strength of the Anglo-French coalition forces in history, Zhang Jun just wanted to understand their current strength. Zhang Jun's b group army group was the SS unit preparing to carry out "scythe swinging operation". Overwhelming all British and French tanks, as well as Sherman aided by the United States, because of the transcendent development of German armored forces, the Allied forces have correspondingly improved their anti-tank levels. The most notable is that the caliber of anti-tank artillery has generally increased. The general hunting suit of the "Bazooka" rocket launcher, this thing is very easy to hit the German No. 99 and No. [-].

The "Bazooka" with a caliber of 60mm is not a big threat to the copycat Type 99 tank, but the United States has received feedback from the Soviet Union that it is already developing the "Bazooka" with a caliber of 889mm. The power of this anti-tank rocket launcher can almost penetrate Looking at the front of Shanzhai 99, Germany's armor advantage has only lasted for a year and a half before it began to face severe challenges. The relationship between the spear and the shield is just a very normal phenomenon.

So what Zhang Jun was most worried about was whether the ten armored divisions of the group army could successfully break through the Allied defense line under the suddenly increased anti-tank firepower of the Allied Army.

德国空军在荷兰为了确保了制空权。德国空军出动了247架中型轰炸机、347架战斗机、424架ju52运输机及12架he59水上飞机直接参加在荷兰上空的行动。荷兰空军，共有344架作战飞机，其中一半在第一次的作战中被击毁，剩下的飞机被紧急疏散至各地。

The Dutch air force has no way to fight the German air force. At this time, the planes equipped by the Netherlands are old-fashioned piston planes, while the German fighters are bf109 and "Six Masters". It is a one-sided massacre. It easily solved the Dutch Air Force. Although the Dutch Air Force fought bravely, the gap in weapons and actual combat experience with Germany was too far, and it was not a level opponent at all.

The Luftwaffe, which gained air supremacy, began a violent bombing. The first wave was the airport in the Netherlands, and then the paratroopers of the SS Army, to seize a strategic point or protect an important bridge. The Luftwaffe and paratroopers spent very little money To accomplish the established strategic goals in the Netherlands is simply accomplished overnight.

What about the British and French reinforcements that Wilhelmina requested?They were still in Belgium, and they hadn’t arrived in the Netherlands at all. Germany suddenly launched a war. Now these British and French reinforcements are a bit confused. Should they retreat to northern France or stay in Belgium for defense? In the end, Britain and France decided to stay in Belgium for defense. Belgium is regarded as the battlefield for the decisive battle with the German army. What Zhang Jun is waiting for is that you stay there and don't run away. [

After the bombardment, the German army group started a full-line assault. Although the Netherlands built a large number of bunkers, under the attack of German tanks and "iron fists", they were basically equivalent to living coffins.

The Dutch defense line was quickly led by a German armored force. The ju87 dive bomber assisted in sweeping the main fortress, and then the infantry followed up, using "iron fists" and submachine guns to solve the infantry. The troops deployed by the Netherlands on the border defense line were either wiped out or directly attacked. Crashing, there is really no way to fight, and hitting is also death.The saddest thing is that the Netherlands did not get the "Bazooka" rocket launcher from the United States. The troops of Britain and France were intercepted, and all these anti-tank weapons were equipped with their own troops.
