Chapter 384: Romiy's Offensive and Defensive Battle (2)

Seeing that he was surrounded by nearly three hundred people, Rao is generals who had experienced a hundred battles could not help but be frightened at this moment, after all, they had never been watched by so many people with guns.

"De Gaulle, what do you want to do? Blatant disobedience? The lieutenant general stiffened his neck and shouted at de Gaulle, "Do you want to kill us?" You know very well what will happen to you and your soldiers if we die here today! ”

"What will happen? Hum! Yves sneered, "It's a big deal that we took the troops to Germany, what do you think will happen?" ”

"You ......" Hearing Yve's words, the lieutenant general was really intimidated, he knew very well that the group of people in front of him really dared to kill themselves and then lead the troops to send Romiyi to the German army - in case they were in a good mood, they might also bring their own heads to the German army when they surrendered to the enemy.

But the death order given by the boss could not be completed, and I was afraid that he would not be much better than death, so after weighing it for a while, the lieutenant general gritted his teeth and prepared to order the gendarmes to rush up and forcibly lead people.

Anyway, it's a death horizontal, and it's a big deal to die with the fucking de Gaulle!

And just as the lieutenant general was about to wave his hand to give the order, de Gaulle raised his hand and pressed the guns of the officers and soldiers around him who were protecting him.

The others looked at de Gaulle with puzzled expressions.

But de Gaulle did not look at them, he just turned to the lieutenant general and said: "The order to retreat was given by me, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." ”

The lieutenant general was ready to fight hard, but he didn't expect De Gaulle to raise his hand and press his own gun, so he was also confused and didn't react to what was happening.

"I can go back to Paris with you." De Gaulle continued, "But I want you to swear to me that you will not be angry with anyone else!" ”

The lieutenant general almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I'm here to take you alone, and I have nothing to do with anyone else." ”

"I want you to swear to me!" De Gaulle repeated solemnly.

"I swear to you that if we arrest anyone but you, we will go to hell when we die! In the name of God! The lieutenant general seemed to be afraid that de Gaulle would repent, and immediately said as he requested.

"Okay." Seeing that the lieutenant general had sworn an oath, de Gaulle nodded and walked towards him with his feet raised.

Seeing that De Gaulle was really leaving, Yves immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "General, why are you leaving?" Let's fight against the fuck together! ”

"Because this is our motherland after all, if we betray her, then what will our comrades who died in battle think of us? What will our mothers think of us?! De Gaulle looked at Yves fixedly and said.

Yves was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time, he let go of the hand that was holding de Gaulle, and said lonely: "I understand, General...... Take care of your ......"

"I will." De Gaulle concluded, "Remember, don't give up the city, just as the people won't give up on us!" After I am gone, you will fight the Germans house by house, and let their blood be over Romiy! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! Yves, along with the other officers and men of the 15th Army, gave a solemn military salute to de Gaulle at the end!

De Gaulle smiled lightly, and then walked out of the military headquarters without looking back, and was escorted into the car by the gendarmes.

Soon, the convoy responsible for escorting de Gaulle left Romey and drove towards Paris along the road full of routs.

De Gaulle's departure inspired a large number of officers and soldiers, but at the same time it also hit some people, many soldiers in the 15th Army originally had a pessimistic view of holding Romey, and after hearing the news that General de Gaulle, the backbone of the 15th Army, was tied back to Paris by the military police to hold them accountable, they felt that it was hopeless to defend the city, and some of the radical soldiers actually became deserters, took off their clothes and lost their guns and went home directly.

But no matter what happened on the French side, everything was still business as usual on the German side, tens of thousands of soldiers were receiving ammunition in an orderly manner, and hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles of all kinds were nervously doing the final pre-war inspection.

On the evening of the 10th, the German combat group officially launched an attack on Romiy, and tens of thousands of people were divided into more than 200 combat units with infantry platoons as the core and two or three armored vehicles as auxiliaries.

However, the battle group encountered stubborn resistance from the French at the beginning of its entry into Romey, and many German tanks were blown off their tracks or completely destroyed by anti-tank mines planted in the streets shortly after they entered the eastern part of the city.

There was no way, the attacking Germans had to let the armored vehicles wait behind first, waiting for the infantry to clear the mines before letting them go, but every house and pile of ruins in the eastern city was hiding French soldiers, they usually did not make a little movement, but once a German soldier tried to remove the mine, they would shoot the German soldiers with rifles from the window or through the cracks in the ruins.

However, the "Grozny" division had already planned for this tactic of the French army, and they transferred rocket wreckers from the engineering units to fire blasting belts at the streets where the French troops had planted mines by blasting and clearing mines, and directly detonated all the mines with violent explosions, and the originally neat and beautiful streets were also blown to pieces.

But how could the Germans care about such a "side effect"? Anyway, Romiy is not a German city, as long as the French army can be cleared out of the way, even if the whole of Romiy is bombed into the sky, Lyon will not hesitate.

After clearing the roads, the Germans, under the cover of tanks, began to clean up the eastern city from house to house, but how easy was it? The German tank guns were slightly smaller than the howitzers, and when they fired grenades at houses, they often only destroyed one wall, but the main body of the house did not suffer any damage, and only the large-caliber assault guns or self-propelled guns equipped with the "Grozny" division could cause relatively large damage to the houses.

However, there are times when the house collapses with a single shot, but the people inside are not dead, and when the Germans come forward to explore the ruins, the French soldiers who are alive inside suddenly fire cold arrows, and a burst of random guns knocks all the German soldiers who came forward to investigate to the ground.

In this case, the Germans initially chose to pour gasoline directly into the rubble and set it on fire, but soon they stopped doing so because there was not enough gasoline.

There was no way, and the German soldiers had to clean up this problem with guns themselves, but high casualties followed.

Soon, the German commander realized that the city street fighting could not be won by bombing the buildings alone, and that the bombing of the buildings was not the goal of the Germans, and that only by killing all the French troops in the city could they win.

Therefore, their tactics have undergone a slight change, from the original combat process of "first blowing up the building with artillery, and then the infantry going into the ruins to clean up" to "the infantry first rush into the house to kill people, and if they can't attack it, they will deploy assault guns to blow up the parts where the French troops are hidden."
