As a result, Guderian and Reinhardt had no choice but to stop at the canal line and watch as the Anglo-French-British and French troops fled from Dunkirk. However, this time the Anglo-French coalition did not have the good fortune of withdrawing most of the living forces, because Ge Fatzi has now bought more than 300 "Muyu" attack planes from the Chinese boss, and the German carpentry factory has also assembled more than 100 (yes, it is a carpentry factory, because the "Muyu" attack aircraft provided by China itself are assembled on fiberboard, and the Germans also don't want to do it when they see a bargain), plus 100 "Muyu" planes that were forcibly withheld from Rommel Attack aircraft (Goering promised to approve the deployment of a dedicated attack aircraft wing for the 7th Panzer Corps, but the command and establishment must remain in the Air Force). Now Ge Fat Man has more than 500 advanced fiberboard toys at hand, uh, it is an advanced "Muyu" attack aircraft, bombing and strafing are suitable, plus China's export of cluster bombs, one down, hundreds of small cylinders hanging small parachutes jumped out, and then detonated together, the pear blossoms seem to fly in the air, but the sprinkling on the ground is the steel ball iron rain, in the face of dense unprotected targets on the soft ground of the beach, how sour how a cool word.

From May 26 to June 2, 124,000 men were evacuated from Dunkirk, including 25,000 French troops, but the Royal Navy sank three cruisers and seven destroyers, and less than one-tenth of the civilian ships participating in the operation survived. In fact, Sitara had the idea of deliberately letting the British go, because Sitara had a soft spot for the British, and he once said: "They are a valuable race, and they are the ones with whom I want to make peace." He let go of the British this time because he wanted to give the British some affection and leave a way out for future peace talks. Sitara was also uneasy about the unusually rapid advance of his armored forces, fearing that his henchmen would find Guderian surrounded by the enemy's forces from north to south. Although the complete work was not completed, the withdrawal of these 100,000 people to Britain was only a drop in the bucket for the anti-landing operation.

The German assault on Belgium and northern France wiped out the entire Belgian army, and 30 divisions of the French army and 9 divisions of the British army were no longer extended. The new commander of the French army, Maxim?? Weygand cobbled together 49 divisions plus 2 British divisions into 3 corps (6th, 7th, and 10th corps) to form the Weygand Line, about 300 miles east and west, along the Somme and Aisne rivers, with 17 divisions defending the Maginot Line. The two lines of defense joined together in an attempt to prevent the Germans from moving south.

After the German occupation of the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and northern France, the German High Command drew up a battle plan for the second phase of the French campaign, codenamed the Red Plan. This plan called for the Germans to move south and defeat the French completely. The German army had as many as 137 divisions, and its two armies, A and B, were quickly reorganized. Manstein's Army Group B (with 6 panours) as the right flank and made a breakthrough to the front of the Somme; Army Group A (4 Panzer Divisions) of Rundstedt was the left flank and made a frontal assault on the Aisne.

On 3 June, the Luftwaffe carried out heavy bombardment of French airfields and rear. At dawn on 5 June, Manstein's Army Group B took the lead in launching an offensive on the right flank. Standing on the armored command car, there were thousands of troops and horses around him, the iron was rolling, and the guards and adjutants were all red with excitement, but he was still cold and unusually cold when he had half a foot in the rank of marshal.

"General, General Rommel has arrived." The adjutant reminded him that Rommel was the general's first general, and the adjutant, Captain Karl, admired the falcon-like general the most.

"Carl, please ask him to wait for me in the map room. I'll come over in a moment. Manstein's eyes looked at the group of "hounds" tanks that were speeding forward, these sturdy guys had fought two wars, but they were still sturdy and reliable, just like the rest of the Chinese equipment. However, this is exactly what he is worried about, the German team seems to be soaring and gaining momentum, but this is all based on China's continuous blood transfusion for Germany through the joint venture between Italy and the Czech Republic. Without Chinese manufacturing, would the German Hurricane still be so powerful with Guderian's petite No. 2 tank and the unstable No. 3 short-barreled tank that had just been put into service? What's more, even if the British and French armies are currently fighting, can they not find the German armored cluster in the north, is it really the first in the world as the newspapers claim?

"Your Excellency, our Seventh Panzer Corps has captured Albert and is now advancing towards the perimeter of Amiens. I think you'll be able to stay at the Royal Benace Hotel in Amiens tomorrow night. Rommel was in high spirits, and the officer, who had been a lieutenant colonel before the war, had become a general in a few months, and was also the commander of a quarter of Germany's armored forces and the only multi-service experimental unit for cooperative operations.

"I'm glad I was inspired by your faith." When Rommel said this, he didn't see a hint of relief on Manstein's face: "But just like a maxim at the National Defense University of China, strategically you must be an explorer, and tactically you must be a surgeon." I pass on this sentence to you, and I hope you will benefit from it. ”

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, do you have any different views on the situation of the war?" Rommel speculated for a moment, and there seemed to be no loopholes, could it be that General Manstein was still worried that the French would turn over? No kidding.

"No, on the contrary, I'm optimistic about the war, and if the French can hold out until August and surrender, I'll think they're very courageous guys." Manstein frowned, his tone did not match the conversation itself: "I'm not worried about our enemies now, but about our friends?" ”

"Friends? You mean Italian? Rommel thought that Manstein was referring to the arrogant Roman friend that the mustachioed Führer had just recognized.

"Maybe I should worry about them. You know that if Italy remained neutral, it would be equivalent to an increase of 10 divisions in our army. If Italy were to oppose us, it would be equivalent to an increase of 20 divisions in our army; But for Italy to join the Axis powers, our army will have to spend 50 divisions to protect him! ”

Manstein's sneer made Rommel laugh, but he knew that the boss was not worried about Italy, but with another friend.

"What do you mean?" Rommel looked to the east. Manstein nodded, and sighed helplessly, "You guessed it, but I didn't prepare a prize." All of our main equipment and tactics come from this empire, but as far as I know, we use the equipment they used 10-15 years ago, and none of their reserve divisions use it anymore. Do you understand what this means? ”

"Can they be more than a decade ahead of us? Just like we easily defeated the French who were already outdated. Rommel was so surprised that he forgot his essay in the command car. The Chinese have known this tactic and the corresponding equipment for a long time, and the practice of the Germans themselves has completely confirmed the amazing effect of this tactic, so what is the amazing level of equipment, tactics and military personnel of the squadron, which has abandoned the blitzkrieg for more than ten years? If Britain and France can give up more interests and make good relations with China, then in the face of the iron cavalry from the east, will the German ** team still have the ability to defend their country and honor?

Rommel's confusion has always been Manstein's confusion, because he was born in a military family and had the experience of World War I, so during his study in China, Manstein was keenly aware that China's national defense level has far surpassed that of Germany and any other country, and that is a real dormant dragon. Manstein was born in Berlin, East Prussia in 1887. Erich?? Feng?? Lewinsky, born in a prestigious aristocratic family, was an artillery admiral Edward?? Feng?? Livinsky and Helen?? Feng?? Shiplin's tenth child. Manstein was not only a Prussian general by his father, but also by his two grandfathers (one of whom led an army in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871), and his uncle, who were also generals; The famous Field Marshal and President of Germany Paul?? Feng?? Hindenburg was also his uncle. He was destined to make a career out of the military.

All along, the pride of the Germanic army led him to think that the Germans were only dragged down by the wrong strategy and betrayed by the peasants and laborers and Jews, otherwise the victors of the First World War would not have been Britain and France. However, the two-year study trip to China made the reserve marshal feel for the first time that there is indeed a much more powerful army in the world than the German Army, whether it is strategy and tactics, technical equipment, training level, national defense mobilization capability or even civilian war potential, China is not comparable to Germany, I hope that the mustachioed Führer will not mistakenly push this dragon into the arms of the enemy, God bless Germany.

On the same day, Rommel's 7th Panzer Corps crossed the Somme first. On 7 June, Rommel's troops cut off the French 10th Army defending the Abwey-Amiens line, and the rest of the German divisions were able to advance through this gap. On 8 June, the 7th Panzer Corps reached the banks of the Seine. On 10 June, Rommel turned north and swept 50 miles away, targeting the coastline. It reached its destination that night, cutting off the retreat of the French 9th Army and the British 51st Division, which were retreating towards the coast. These forces were forced to surrender to Rommel on 12 June. Since leaving the Ardennes Forest, Rommel's troops have driven more than 500 kilometers in 10 days, capturing as many as 280,000 French troops, creating a miracle in the history of warfare.

After Army Group B launched an offensive, the left flank of the Lundstead A Army also launched a river-crossing offensive on the Aisne on June 9, and that night, the 1st Panzer Division of Guderian's Armored Corps forced the crossing of the Aisne River, and on June 10, Guderian's 1st Panzer Army defeated the French Panzer Corps and broke through the right flank of the French 6th Army. Hordes of French prisoners threw their guns at the Germans and crushed them under the tanks. Weygand later wrote with a heavy heart that "the most shocking thing about him was that the German tanks and planes had caused fear in the French soldiers." This is one of the greatest successes of the German army." On 17 June, Gudri installed an armoured corps into the Swiss border town of Pantarir, cutting off the retreat of the French troops from the Maginot Line to Switzerland.
