In April of the 17th year of the Taichu Dynasty, for strategic reasons, the German army carried out Exercise Wither, attacking the neutral countries of Denmark and Norway. The British, French, and Free Polish Army responded by operating in support of the Norwegians. The Western Front has entered the countdown to the start of the war, and at this time, the most wanted to buy regret medicine must be the chiefs of staff of Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, if they take advantage of the time when the mustache is tearing up with the Polish middle and second countries, insert the fragile Siegfried defense line from behind, and now it has made the mustache sour and unbelievable, where is the turn to get the mustache is now making trouble in the north.

When Poland was intoxicated by Germany in September of the sixteenth year of the first century, Belgium and the Netherlands remained neutral, saying that they were just passing by and looking, and would never use their hands to fight. They tried to avoid war by adhering to a strict policy of neutrality as much as possible, and although they secretly arranged for cooperation with the Central Powers in the event of a German invasion of their territory, none of them were openly prepared. The supreme commander of the French ** team, Morris? In that month, the Anglo-French forces were supposed to take advantage of Germany's tie-up in Poland to occupy the Low Countries before Germany did, but this was not adopted by the French government, and all words with war were synonymous with sin in the eyes of the electorate.

By mid-September, when Poland was ready to succumb to the mustache Sitara, the French had dragged their feet in launching a symbolic Saar offensive -- a nominal pre-war pledge to Poland and a promised rescue attack by the British and French -- and the French soldiers had advanced 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) to Saar before withdrawing in October, well by capturing more than two dozen uninhabited German villages, and opening up territory. In this sense, the Germans' later attack on France can be called a self-defense counterattack against France, but it is a pity that in order to avenge the revenge of poisoning his bright gray eyes with poison gas, he stared at the map of France with his dead gray eyes, and he slammed the pencil into it, as if he intended to insert some flower-like parts of a certain old French man, and did not intend to disguise himself as a victim who was violently destroyed to punish the abuser justice.

By this time, the French had deployed 98 divisions (but 28 were reserve or fortified) and 2,500 tanks against 43 German divisions (including 32 reserve divisions), and the Germans did not have any tanks. According to the then Wehrmacht High Command William? Keitel's inference was that the French would easily be able to break through to the weakly defended western defence of the German army.

After October of the 16th year of the 16th century, the French decided not to take the initiative for the 17th year of the 17th century, although most of the French army had been designed for offensive operations in the 30s of the 20th century (I really don't understand, did the French think that by the 18th year of the 18th century, their troops and people who tried to surrender without a fight would suddenly have the courage to fight to the death with the mustache?). ）。 The Anglo-French forces believed that even without the Eastern Front, the German government could be destabilized by the blockade, as had been the case in the First World War. The possibility of such a situation seems increasingly easy if the Workers' political regime had not collapsed, and in the first seventeenth year the Anglo-French forces would have carried out a huge programme of modern expansion in order to build up an overwhelming mechanized force, including some 24 panzer divisions, in the war against Germany, using the advantages of the existing military production. Then the Anglo-French forces would launch a decisive offensive in the summer of the eighteenth year of the Lunar New Year (not to defend Poland, of course, but to seek justice for the dead Poland). If the Low Countries have not committed themselves to participating in the actions of the Allies by that date, the Allies can resolutely break their neutrality if necessary.

Obviously, the Germans will strike first, so strategically it is necessary to be prepared for this in case it arises. Neither France nor England expected Poland to be defeated so quickly, and they were very disturbed by the quick victory of Germany. Most of the French generals were in favour of a very cautious approach: they did not consider German intentions to be accurately predictable. Most of the troops should be reserved in a central position, north of Paris, in case of contingency. If the Germans did advance clearly along the route of Guò Flanders (northern Belgium), they were to engage the Germans only in northern France, for the German infantry was by then exhausted and short of supplies. However, if the Germans tried to attack the middle of the Anglo-French front, these Anglo-French reserves would have the ideal offensive advantage to stop the German advance. If the Germans advanced through Guò Switzerland, the reserve would be the only means of dealing with such an attack, and the shape would become extremely dangerous.

In fact, you can't blame the French for being such a soft egg, there are still many objective reasons for this. First of all, the ten years of economic depression had just passed, and the environment in France was not good, and under these conditions, the French did not want a war, so France pursued a policy of appeasement with England, fantasizing about satisfying the needs of Germany at the expense of Czechoslovakia, so as to avoid war as much as possible. He also fantasized that Germany would attack Red Russia first, after all, the Peasants' and Workers' Party at that time was the worst enemy of the capitalist countries.

Encouraged by appeasement, the Germans felt that the French were weak. Here's your chance for revenge! Germany and France have been feuding for hundreds of years, especially after World War I, when France forcibly occupied the Ruhr area, which caused Germany's economy to suffer a devastating blow. This made the German official attack on France with high morale and bravery. If the Germans were to choose. In addition to the beating of John Bull, the killing of Gallic roosters would be the second most popular show in the German army.

France had always been on guard against Germany, which is why it did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build this line of defense after World War I. The French army cowered back, thinking it was okay. Due to the influence of positional warfare during the First World War, the French must have thought that if the Germans wanted to attack France, they could only pass through the Maqino defensive line, and that it would be almost impossible to break through this line of defense, so they relaxed their guard.

The Germans' preferential use of armor technology made the Germans' marching speed comparable to that of World War I. The French never expected that the Germans would pass through Belgium and enter France from the north, the French ** team was caught off guard, and the French army on the Maginot Line was wrapped in dumplings, and only 300,000 British and French allied troops were defeated and retreated to Dunkirk, if it were not for the Führer suddenly stopped pursuing, it is estimated that the 300,000 allied troops could only learn the evolution skills of the whale family. This battle fully demonstrated the ability of the armored forces to rapidly advance, outflank, divide, and break through.

So when one side is so ups and downs, cowardly and cowardly, and the other side is in the limelight, not to mention a natural gambler like Sitara Mustache, even an honest person like Wu Daguan can't help but want to search for this game.

On May 10, the 17th year of the Lunar New Year, just after dawn, hordes of German troops in original and imitation Howling Eagle dive bombers suddenly bombed the airports, railway junctions, heavy troop concentration areas and cities of France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. At 5:30, on a front of more than 300 kilometers between the North Sea and the Maginot Line, German ground forces launched a large-scale offensive against the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, opening the prelude to the invasion of France.

German Army Group B, which assisted and attracted the main forces of the British and French forces, first attacked important bridges and fortified facilities in the Netherlands and Belgium with airborne troops. This sudden blow immediately caused panic among the Dutch and Belgian troops, and immediately afterwards, the armored units of Army Group B took advantage of the chaos to launch a fierce attack. Since the paratroopers had already occupied the main roads, Army Group B was progressing quite smoothly.

The breakthrough of German Army Group B on the Dutch-Belgian border caused the main Anglo-French forces assembled in northern France to quickly cross the Franco-Belgian border for reinforcements. At this moment, Sitara was restlessly waiting for news from the front in the underground command post, and when he heard that the main British and French forces had been dispatched, he was "so happy that he almost cried." Excitedly, he said to the people around him, "They have just fallen into our trap!" I want them to believe that we are still carrying out the 'yellow plan' and that we are still respecting Schlieffen's ideas. They've been fooled, wait and see, the best is yet to come. ”

When Bock's Army Group B attracted the main British and French forces, Loeb's Army Group C also put on a stance. Their ongoing feint on the Maginot Line was so successful that it made the French hesitate to withdraw their forces from the south.

In the early morning of 10 May, the German Army's Army Group A, which was the main attack in the center, carried out the main assault on Luxembourg and the Ardennes Mountains in Belgium. Luxembourg, a small country with a population of only 300,000, surrendered without a fight that day. Spearheaded by General Rundstedt was the Panzer Corps under the command of General Manstein, which was under the command of Rommel's Seventh Panzer Corps, Hermann? Hort's 15th Panzer Corps and Jorg Hans? Reinhardt's 41st Panzer Corps. Among them, Rommel's 7th Panzer Corps was the most combat-effective, and it was the main force and vanguard of the Manstein Panzer Corps, which had three Panzer Divisions. The 15th and 41st Panzer Corps had only two armoured divisions each.

Lieutenant General Evenel Rommel's 7th Panzer Corps broke through the loose resistance of the Belgian army and penetrated the 110-kilometer-long gorge of the Ardennes Mountains into France in just two days. On the afternoon of the 12th, Guderian's three armored divisions had reached the north bank of the Maas River and captured the famous French fortress city of Sedan . That night, they began to make intense preparations for crossing the river. "The forced crossing of the Maas by the Germans was the key to the battle for France. There were other equally bold actions in the five weeks that followed, but none of them had such a striking impact on the course of events. To this end, Evanel Rommel threw all 3 of his armored divisions into it.
