Two Hundred and Seventh Battle of the Western Front

"We've been tricked!" An old French general looked at the map and sighed: "I just got news from the front that many parts of the German Siegfried line of defense are fake! How much of the entire line of defense is true? , and needs to be re-judged. (Starting)"

Another old general took a sip of coffee and said with a moving beard: "Now de Gaulle's two divisions have entered Germany, and we have deployed ten divisions on his flanks and behind him. ."

He put down his coffee cup and pointed to a red line in Germany on the map: "If the Siegfried line is fake, what will the Germans do to stop our attack?"

...

"So what do we use to stop the French from attacking?" Lundstedt stood on the hillside and smiled at his men: "I believe the French are asking the same question? Ten years ago, I did not Knowing how to answer...but right now, I believe we just have to stick to one thing and we can win."

His adjutant stood behind him and looked into the distance: "What do you insist on?"

"Believe in the Führer!" Lundstedt replied with a smile: "Because God has not lost since God let the Führer lead Germany!"

A No. 3 tank swept past him, bringing a breeze and blowing his coat. It was followed by another No. 3 tank, followed by another No. 3 assault gun.

"Soon the French will know that we are ready for everything." Lundstedt watched as hundreds of tanks moved along the road below the valley, more soldiers crossed the hills, cars pulled The cannons came one after another, and countless German soldiers marched forward singing songs.

Above the sky, a fw-190d fighter jet rushed down the clouds, followed by the second, the third... and soon the one hundred, one hundred and one. Four of these fighters are in a formation, densely stacked at different heights, and they have begun to have a sense of obscuring the sky.

In a parked car next to Lundstedt, the radio was playing the German Führer's speech this morning: "While the German people are trying to protect Europe from the 'Communist' International, and we are trying to save the Polish people from When attacked by the Soviet Union, France, which considered itself the leader of Europe, went to war against us Germany..."

"We fought bloody battles for the people of Europe, but they stabbed us with vile and vile knives in the back! What is this? This is betrayal! It is betrayal! We have no hope in the face of the "Communist" International Their help, but they are holding us back! This is irresponsible to the entire European people!"

"They think they can win! They think they can beat us! But good German people! Will we be slaughtered? No! We are ready,

Even with armor and swords, we dare to challenge our opponents! We also dare to shed blood for our own land! "

"The war in Poland has proved that we are invincible! Those damn French guys should be thankful that we didn't put bayonets in their chests! But they dare to challenge our sacred territory! The evil provocation of the German nation! This is a blasphemy against the peace we long for!"

"Soldiers! Take up your arms! Prove to the world that we alone are the emperors of war! We fear neither the enemy nor war! On the contrary, we are eager to prove our loyalty to the people of the motherland in blood and fire! We We are eager to repay the trust and love of our hometown people with victory!"

"Rip open our invaders, rip out their intestines and hang them! Go! Let them taste the power of our tanks! Let them see the power of our fighter jets! Let them know the determination of the German people! "

"Allegiance to the excellent warriors of the empire! Go! Allegiance to my great soldiers! Bring back victory for me, for the nation!  …"

Above the sky, the pilot in a fighter jet loudly ordered: "The ground radar station found that the French Air Force invaded the fighter fleet, and we rushed over to tell them who owns the sky here... All fighter jets climb! The "preparatory plan" begins Implement! Expel all intruders."

"All fighter jets climb up!" The commands of various commanders came from the earphones: "The 12th Squadron, you cover above the clouds... The entire 9th Brigade is responsible for the frontal attack... The 6th Squadron, you don't get in, pay attention to looking for France Bombers, they're in your hands."

The roar of the engine became more noisy, and all the planes began to accelerate, one after another drilled into the white clouds, like naughty birds, and disappeared in the clouds in a blink of an eye.

"General!" Lundstedt's adjutant received a telegram, and then immediately reported: "The telegram sent to you by Air Force Commander Catherine, they have already started counterattacking the French Air Force and are expected to seize nearby air supremacy within a day."

Soon, another officer walked up the hillside: "Report, the artillery positions are being transferred after the French artillery bombardment, and the enemy's tank units are attacking our defense line. General Tyne called to ask when his troops could go into battle and attack the enemy flank."

"The general attack will start after four hours, and we must ensure air superiority and the enemy's situation before we can start. We have to let the French team go to prevent the French from jumping over the wall and starting a full-scale war." Lundstedt thought for a while and said: "Führer We are expected to have a few more months to complete the mobilization deployment, so we have to buy that time for the Fuhrer.”

"I'll order! The counterattack begins!" Lundstedt announced loudly, looking at his watch: "All troops! Start the counterattack!"

"Boom!" "Boom! Boom!" On the artillery position, the 150mm caliber field artillery that had been prepared for a long time spewed dazzling fire, and the German artillery that had already measured the "shoot" to hit Zhuyuan began to After their performances, in practice after practice, they have long since imprinted the method of covering the land firmly in their minds.

"Fire!" With an order, the Friedrich Rocket Artillery Regiment of the Army Group erected here let out a roar of his own. "Whoosh! Whoosh!" The voices became one, and the entire artillery position was drowned by the smoke and dust brought by the jet of the rocket. Everyone watched as the slightly long and narrow black dot brought a white "color" of smoke into the distance. , waiting for these rockets there is the French team that has not yet fully deployed.

Above the sky, at the same time, the commander of the German aircraft gave the same order: "Enemy aircraft detected! Operation begins!"

"Om! Ouch!" The German fighter jets that formed the battle formation flew sideways like eagles that found their prey, and threw themselves into the queue to attack the low-altitude French aircraft. The planes quickly broke out of the clouds and found the French Air Force already pulling up to fight.

The German aircraft had a positional advantage, and their potential energy and their own power advantages were fully reflected. The French Air Force was forced to fight, because they wanted to protect their bomber group, so they couldn't fly as high as the German pilots.

"Fire! Fire! Aim at the enemy plane and fire!" Heinz Barr, driving his fw-190d fighter jet, was diving in pursuit of a French MS. Fighter 406, he was holding the nose of the constantly firing fighter and aimed the crosshair at the hapless Frenchman.

Soon, Barr pulled the trigger, and the 20mm cannon shot out the flames. A dozen or so shells hit the French fighter jet on the opposite side. The plane exploded and disintegrated in the air, while Barr calmly Pull up your fighter and start looking for your next target.

Although the maximum speed of French fighter jets is faster than that of Poland and the Soviet Union, they still cannot catch up with the German fw-190 fighter jets with a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour, which turns the air battle into a one-sided massacre by the Luftwaffe. In an hour, only 14 Luftwaffe pilots were shot down, 6 of whom were later rescued; but the French Air Force lost a full 101 of its best Air Force pilots.

But in this day's air battle, it was not the French fighter pilots who suffered the most, but their bomber unit. The German 6th Squadron is an interceptor force that has just been issued with new air force weapons. Under the wings of each of their fw-190d fighters, there are a full 10 65mm caliber anti-air rockets.

They roared down high in the air, charging into the formation of French bombers, and then at a relatively safe distance blew the rockets under the wings in one go. This is a tactic invented by the head of state to intercept the opponent's large-scale bomber formation, called "saturation attack". Dozens of planes can drop hundreds of rockets in one direction in one breath, enough to cause heavy losses to a bomber formation.

Disaster soon befalls the French bomber formation. The plane hit by the rocket exploded in the air, and the pilot was burned to charcoal by the fire before he could parachute. Many planes collided because they avoided rockets, and more planes dropped bombs and ran away in a "chaos", but they didn't know that many bombs happened to be dropped on the head of the advancing French army.

Everyone knows that when faced with swarms of fighters, bombers can only reduce their losses by maintaining their own formation, but now the formation is "disordered" by the Luftwaffe for the first time, so the rest Things became extremely simple: German pilots smashed 30mm and 20mm cannonballs into the wings of French planes, sending these big guys dragging black smoke into the ground.

Even the French themselves did not believe that their well-planned attack had lost air supremacy in Germany within three hours of the war.
