Chapter 2054 We Don’t Have Time to Capture You 1

"Haha, tomorrow? What's the difference if it's one day earlier or one day later?" Gallieni sneered after putting down the phone. There is no hope for the war. The last reserve force of the French has been beaten to half ashes, and most of the transportation and supply lines have been cut off. Why should the more than 300,000 French troops on the front fight against the Bavarian Army in the field?

"Tell all participating troops that they can choose to surrender when the situation is irreversible." Gallieni said to his officers after walking out of the office.

"Your Majesty General, you..." A staff officer who had been with him for more than three years looked at his commander in surprise. In his opinion, General Galieni was a cold-blooded and cold-blooded person. , he never hesitated to use the lives of soldiers as bargaining chips for victory, but now, he issued such an order, which really surprised everyone.

"Everyone, war is cruel. In order to win the war, we must trample our conscience under our feet. We can find countless excuses to excuse ourselves, but this is just deceiving ourselves. Because we have too many things directly or indirectly contaminated in our hands. The blood of France did not revive France, but caused it to fall into the abyss. So now, so far, with no hope of victory in sight, we should let more people be intact Go back to your hometown instead of sending an urn to their families or letting them suffer the pain of disability for life. We have done our best, the blame is not yours, I will bear it myself." Gallieni said unusually calmly.

"General, Marshal Foch's phone number," an officer said.

"Very good, I just wanted to have a chat with him. You all should be busy with your own work, and just consider it as your last duty for France." Gallieni nodded and walked to the office again.

"Have you contacted Mr. President?" Foch's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

"That's right, we've lost the war," Gallieni said.

"My troops can still support you. Some of our troops on the northern front have been mobilized." Foch's words rang out again.

"Haha, don't be joking. I am the Minister of War. I know the French army no less than you do. If you had sent reinforcements last night, there would still be a chance today, but now everything is too late. The Germans are sharp The teeth have wedged themselves into our blood vessels. Even if you can repel them, most of our blood vessels will be destroyed. And don't forget, the four German armies in front are still eyeing you." Gallieni sneered.

"The Germans may not attack immediately," Foch said with a sigh.

"Don't try dangerous moves. If you don't move, the Germans may not move, but once you take hostile actions, they will definitely move. One of your decisions affects the lives of hundreds of thousands of French soldiers." It is safe, but it will not help the war situation." Gallieni said word by word.

"Okay, I understand." After two minutes of silence, Foch finally replied, and there seemed to be a hint of relief in his words.

"We have to do what we have to do, we have surrendered, but we must also leave the last dignity to France." Gallieni said.

"I will, actually I'm ready," Foch said.

At the same time, on the battlefield, the decisions of the French top brass still did not affect the fighting German and French officers and soldiers. The Germans were still working hard to attack in depth. In fact, the German army has suffered heavy losses so far. More than half of the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed or were unable to move due to malfunctions, but the remaining tanks still led a large number of infantry in pursuit of the north under the cover of the air force.

General Schmidt knew that the strength of the assault group had been severely weakened, so he could avoid urban areas, fortified areas or other strong defenses. He chose the attack targets at warehouses and warehouses scattered outside. Depots, factories and other logistics facilities.

At this time, the situation of the French was even worse. They were on the verge of collapse, and their troops were cut into pieces by the German army. When they lost the restraint of their officers and could not find friendly troops, facing the German troops rolling in from the opposite side, the French finally began to surrender on a large scale, and their surrender actually played out something that no one could have imagined. These The French troops who came out of their hiding places blocked the road and blocked the advance of many German troops with their white flags and their bodies...

"Damn it, I'd rather they not surrender! Or just hide in some nook and cranny that we can't find and wait for the war to end." Guderian said a little depressed. After pondering for a moment, the young German officer pushed open the hatch of the tank, then took out his pistol and fired a magazine into the air.

"Listen, French! We don't have time to capture you. We are an armored force, not a prisoner of war reception team! Now, throw your weapons to the roadside, and then wait obediently in the wilderness for the infantry behind to take you in. Of course, If you want to go home now, no one will stop you! In short, get out of the way!" Guderian, whose face was blackened by gunpowder smoke, looked a little ferocious, while standing on the huge Wolf tank, and the gun in his hand A long-barreled Ruger pistol is also really intimidating.

After a brief hesitation, a group of French people threw their guns into the drainage ditches on both sides of the road, and then gathered obediently into the wilderness. Some people also sneaked away, but most of them did not escape. After all, the French army also has military law. Yes, the punishment for those who escape from battle and abandon their weapons is very severe, but as a prisoner, you are safe and have food to eat...

To be honest, the French have had enough of so-called soups made from unknown things, and have had enough of bread that is so hard that it can stop bullets. According to the descriptions of some experienced French army veterans, the field soldiers generally carried by the Germans are delicious! If you are lucky, you can also eat a kind of pasta that can be eaten raw. The Germans call this kind of instant noodles...

When the path forward was cleared, Guderian led his armored company and accompanying infantry to continue advancing, while thousands of French prisoners of war sat obediently in the wilderness waiting for the German troops behind to take them in. For them the war was over, and some took out cigarettes or candies to relax their tense nerves. Some officers looked towards the direction of the German army's advance, their eyes full of worry, and they vaguely felt that the war seemed to be over soon.

"General Xiafei, we have lost contact with all division-level headquarters. They have either been destroyed or are being transferred. This means that now, except for the headquarters personnel, you have no troops available." A Frenchman the officer said.
