Chapter 266 The Battle of France

This made Ivan very surprised. Originally, Ivan was ready to be executed by shooting, but he was only sentenced to ten years in prison. This made Ivan feel very mixed, and he served his sentence with peace of mind...

……

Blyukher and Egorov cooperated perfectly, and they thrived in the occupied areas of the Soviet Union. A large number of guerrillas walked out of the mountains and surrendered to the Russian SS, and the Russian SS also fulfilled their obligations. They did not punish these people, and even divided their land. Judging from the good situation, Blyukher and Yegorov are likely to complete the clean-up work ahead of schedule.

These are the internal affairs of the Russian SS, Zhang Jun will not interfere, and Zhang Jun has no time, because the time is June [-]th, and all the troops that Zhang Jun is going to attack France have been in place, and Zhang Jun's suicide plan was also basically successful.

The plan is to transfer Zhang Jun to the 100 million National Defense Forces of the Netherlands. Such huge military pressure made Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands restless. She hurriedly called all the ministers to discuss the military situation. The queen issued a national mobilization order again, expanding the army to 50 million in a very short period of time. Are these people who put down their hoes and tools into the army regular troops?The answer is of course no. Queen Wilhelmina also knew the huge military gap between the Netherlands and Germany, and hastily sent a telegram for help to the allied British and French forces.

The navy of the Netherlands is still good, but the army is not satisfactory. If the British and French allied forces want to protect France well, they must send troops to protect their northern border. The northern border is not as strong as the Maginot line of defense. They are all temporary defense lines. Therefore, the British and French allied forces decided to send troops to protect the Netherlands and Belgium, and unknowingly fell into the trap set by Zhang Jun.

光是法国就有2,200,000人的部队被部署在北部,虽然加上英国、比利时和荷兰的部队总共超过3,300,000人。至6月10r共有93个法国师、22个比利时师、10个英国师和9个荷兰师在北部,总数为134个师,其中6个装甲师、24个摩托化师。另外有22个师正在受训或在战时紧急情况下装备起来(不包括改组后的单位),其中有2个波兰师和1个捷克师。除了这些足额师外盟军有许多u l的小型步兵单位:荷兰有相当于约8个师的u l旅和营;法国有29个u l的要塞步兵团。在法军中有18个师,是由殖民地志愿部队组成;包括19个“**级师”,虽然是受过充分培训的单位,但在摩托化后仍有大量超过30岁的人需要接受再训练。最好的盟军部队是训练有素的英国师,其中有充分机动力和具有很**例的职业军人;最严重缺乏装备的是荷兰部队。

And Zhang Jun's two army groups have a total of 200 million people, plus 50 people can be transferred from the group army group, and he has to face 330 million allied forces. Zhang Jun is an offensive war, and these countries basically count Above is Homeland Defense.Can Zhang Jun, who does not take advantage of the land, really sweep the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and northern France like the "Yellow Campaign" in history?

Germany deployed some 3,000,000 men to the campaign.In addition to the 157 divisions deployed on the front line (10 armored divisions, 6 mechanized divisions), 39-50 divisions were deployed in Berlin as the reserve division of the Supreme Command of the Wehrmacht (rest troops returning from the Soviet Union).About a quarter of Germany's offensive troops were combat troops over the age of 40, including veterans of World War I.These troops are both elite and second-line troops. The most elite troops were all deployed to the Soviet Union by the National Defense Forces. They are said to be elite because there are so many veterans who participated in the war and have rich combat experience. They are said to be second-line troops. It is true that Zhang Jun's age is a bit old, most of them are over 40 years old, but Zhang Jun is not qualified to be picky and thin. It is not bad to have these troops. [

在西线的德军于5月至6月共部署2,700辆坦克和自行火炮,包括指派作战的预备队;约7,500门火炮可以作战,药库存可足够作6个星期的战斗。“德国空军”的部队将分为两组。共有1,815架作战飞机、487架运输机和50架滑翔机被部署支援**集团军群,而另外2,286架作战飞机被部署支援和集团军群。[24]

German Army units were divided into three groups:

?Army Group by Gerd?Feng?Rundstedt commanded a total of 50 divisions including 3 armored divisions, tasked with advancing into the Low Countries and drawing Allied northern units into the pocket.

? **The German SS army group commanded by Guderian has a total of 55 divisions (including 7 armored divisions). A phrase after the events of Winston ?Churchill translated the name from a phrase in German as "sickle cut" (or even earlier "armored sickle run") - cutting through the Allied lines in the Ardennes to cut through all enemy forces in northern France.

?Army Group by William?Little?Feng?Li Bu commanded a total of 50 divisions, mainly to prevent roundabout attacks from the east, and continued to launch small-scale attacks on the Maginot Line and the Upper Rhine.

The Allied Supreme Command's code-named combat plan was conservative and miscalculated. The focus of the plan was to defend against the German army's main assault on Belgium, using Belgium as the main battlefield for the two sides to fight.According to the plan, the Allied Forces will deploy their main forces at the northern end of the French-Belgian border and in the northern provinces of France. If the German Army launches a major assault on Belgium, the Allied Forces of the Five Nations will coordinate to block the German attack; most of the other troops will be deployed on the Maginot Line in the south. On the upper side, if the German army launched a frontal attack on the Maginot Line, they would rely on solid fortifications to resist; while in the middle section, they relied on the natural dangers of the Ardennes Mountains and the Maas River, leaving only weaker troops to garrison.

The Anglo-French allied forces, just like in history, believed that the natural dangers of the Ardennes and the Maas River were not suitable for the movement of German armored forces, so they only left a small amount of troops to defend the natural dangers of the Ardennes and the Maas River. Zhang Jun just It was to rush into the Ardennes Mountains and implement his "armor cutting operation." The British and French allied forces wanted to die by themselves, and no one could save them.History has given them a chance to do it all over again, but they are still deployed like this. It can only be said that they are a group of rigid commanders.

At the same time, Zhang Jun is still very concerned about his armored troops. Caring is one thing, but whether he is satisfied or not is another matter. Looking at the number of Zhang Jun's tanks and armored vehicles, there are indeed quite a lot. Sixteen This armored division has a very large armored force. It is a pity that these tanks, except for the two armored corps of the SS, are equipped with copycat Type 99, and the rest of the armored divisions are all equipped with the No. 37 tanks eliminated by Germany. It is indeed a No. [-] light tank, with a [-]mm tank gun, and even the British infantry support tank Matilda cannot penetrate it.

This made Zhang Jun very anxious. Thanks to Zhang Jun, who is the Minister of Armaments of Germany, he knows what equipment is still in the German national weapons reserve. Zhang Jun turned all the weapons warehouses in Germany upside down, and finally gave the rest The armored division is equipped with a battalion of No. 75 tanks. The No. 1000 tanks are now [-]mm long tank guns, which can easily penetrate all British, French and American tanks at a distance of [-] meters. Although the National Defense Forces were dissatisfied with Zhang Jun's looting behavior, Zhang Jun was indeed equipped with the National Defense Forces for these No. [-] tanks, so the gang of the National Defense Forces did not make any trouble.

……

On June [-]th, at six o'clock in the morning, the wet black soil seemed to still have traces of the rose-colored morning sun, and the singing of larks fell all over the sky like a torrential rain.The warmth of the first rays of the sun which had just peeped out from behind the gray mountain-tops communicated with the coolness of the dying night in a sweet languor.

"Boom...boom..."

In an instant, the borders of France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands were covered by countless artillery fires. The violent explosions violently destroyed everything on the opposite position. The trenches and bunkers were either blown up or fell like leaves in the wind. Turned into fragments, flying pieces with the shock wave of the explosion.The artillery fire of the German army is very fierce. Because the distance from the German supply line is very close, these German artillerymen do not want to save medicine, and they are all firing cannons of various calibers recklessly. Very sparse.

As a result, the Allied forces could only curl up in various fortifications like mice, praying that the fortifications they were hiding in would not be destroyed by the gunfire of the Germans.Of course, some prayers are still effective, and German artillery fire cannot destroy all the Allied fortifications, and some do not go far. If their fortifications are destroyed, they can only be buried alive below. They can be saved, even self-rescue is impossible. If there is heavy artillery fire, every inch of land outside will be burned like hell.

This is only the situation on the ground. As soon as six o'clock arrives, all German planes will start to take off. Their goal is of course to raid all the airports of the Allied forces. Of course, sneak attacks are impossible, because the British have already deployed in the border areas. A large number of radars, in this case can only attack, German fighter jets protect the bombers, and go straight to the airports of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. At the same time, the two paratrooper divisions of the SS also carry transport planes to airborne important bridges, roads and railways hub. [

These paratroopers were prepared by Zhang Jun for his follow-up attack. The National Defense Army also has paratroopers, but unfortunately they have now become infantry. Now the Soviet front does not use paratroopers for the time being, so Zhang Jun transferred his paratroopers. Don’t be fooled. Looking at the role of these paratroopers, if important bridges are controlled by the Allied forces at strategic points, Germany's follow-up attack will be very troublesome. Even if it can be captured in the end, it will greatly delay Zhang Jun's attack speed. Zhang Jun is definitely not far away. have witnessed.
