Chapter 912: Paris

A few days later, the 2nd Combat French Panzer Division, led by General Leclerc, arrived at the front.

From the British point of view, they also did not want the fruits of the "liberation of Paris" to be picked by the "fighting France", which did not make much effort, so they ordered the 2nd Panzer Division to stop advancing.

However, Leclerc was well aware of the tactics and intentions of the British, and of course he would not pay attention to this so-called "order", he secretly got in touch with the resistance in Paris, and then rushed to Paris with the 2nd Panzer Division without stopping......

At this time, there were only 2,000 security forces and sappers left in Paris, and the German army planted explosives on 45 bridges, important factories, public facilities, government office buildings, and even the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, etc.

As long as the commander of the German defense of Paris, von . At Scholtitz's order, Paris would be plunged into a sea of explosions and fire, as Hitler had demanded.

But in the end, von. Scholtitz also did not give the order to detonate, he chose to surrender.

This allowed Leclerc's 2nd Panzer Division to capture Paris without much effort, and if there was any fighting, it was that the German soldiers, who did not know that the commander had surrendered, still held their ground.

"I knew it!" Patton angrily scolded: "I knew that there were no German panzer divisions in Paris!" ”

But it was too late, and the French people had already flocked to the streets to meet the liberation of Paris.

Enraged, Patton immediately ordered the U.S. 4th Infantry Division, which was closest to Paris, to march into Paris, but that could only be regarded as a follow-up force.

As a reassurance, the British radio released the news that the US 3rd Army led by Patton liberated Paris.

The next day, Degaard rushed to Paris to meet with the leaders of the Resistance and gave a speech:

"Today, all the people gathered here, all the men and women, you stand in Paris, in your homeland.

It is you who rise up to resist and liberate yourselves, and liberate yourselves with your own hands. Now, who can make us hide this excitement?

No! We do not hide this deep, sacred emotion in the slightest. The meaning of these few minutes is already more important than the meaning of our entire life.

Paris! Trampled Paris! Ravaged Paris! Bloody Paris! But Paris was liberated! Paris liberated itself, Paris is the ...... liberated by its own people, with the assistance and support of all France, fighting France, the only France, the real France, the eternal France, with the assistance of the French army"

Here de Gaulle used a means, that is, the method of praising the French people, to indirectly elevate the role of "fighting France" in the battle for the liberation of France.

Then the whole of Paris boiled over, and the "tide of courage" was once again brought to a climax in the grand parades and parades that followed.

The news soon reached the 21st Panzer Division, which had retreated to the south of France.

Colonel Slain said incredulously, "We."

The British had been blocked as much as possible, but they still let de Gaulle get into Paris first! ”

This also surprised Qin Chuan, of course he didn't believe that it was the American Grand Duke who selflessly let the "fighting France" pick this fruit. In fact, the United States did not recognize the De Gaulle government as legitimate until this time.

So, it's probably the British's work again.

"That's fine!" Qin Chuan said: "The follow-up problem is still counted on De Gaulle!" ”

"What counts on de Gaulle?" Colonel Slane asked.

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "The contradictions between the various guerrillas and resistance groups, and the contradictions between the French who want independence and the British and the United States who want to control France, and all the ......."

Colonel Slane couldn't help but let out an "oh" and nodded in agreement.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and de Gaulle gained more power through this means, but the responsibility also pressed on him.

The 21st Panzer Division continued its march south, and a few days later they left their equipment to Army Group G in Serière...... As mentioned before, the more efficient transfer between armies is to transfer only personnel and equipment, otherwise the transportation of tanks between the two places will not only consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but also waste time and capacity.

Here the 21st Panzer Division encountered the French regiment, which had also retreated to the south.

In fact, it was not encountered, but Annette was waiting for the 21st Panzer Division in Serière early in the morning.

When Qin Chuan was still in the car, he heard a familiar voice outside: "Hey, is the 'legendary sergeant' among you?" ”

Most of the German soldiers didn't know about the relationship between Annette and Qin Chuan, so they joked: "Hey, Frenchman, we have a lot of sergeants here, consider us!" ”

Then the soldiers burst out laughing.

It wasn't until Colonel Slain recognized Annette yelling at them that they knew they seemed to be in trouble.

When Qin Chuan jumped out of the car, he saw Annette angrily giving the middle finger to those German soldiers...... She's not someone who can be bullied, even verbally.

The moment she saw Qin Chuan, Annette immediately seemed to be a different person, and she rushed into Qin Chuan's arms with brilliance all over her body, and then kept saying like a machine gun in her mouth: "You know? I've heard that you're going to pass through here too, and I've been waiting here for two days, and I'm afraid you'll be passing through at night, so I don't dare to go back at night......"

"And where do you live?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Oh, my sergeant!" Annette laughed: "I'm no longer the lady I used to be cared for, I'm a sniper, forgot?" ”

"So, you're camping here?"

"Yes, I have a tent!"

"Have you waited for your goal?"

"Of course!" Annette replied, and then couldn't wait to kiss Qin Chuan's lips.

The coaxing and cheers of the German soldiers immediately sounded around, and Qin Chuan was not surprised by this.

After a long time, Qin Chuan said to Annette: "I brought you something!" ”

"What?" Annette couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed: "You don't look like the kind of person who brings gifts!" ”

"You're wrong, Annette!" As he spoke, Qin Chuan raised his head towards Eberhard, who was not far away with such an embarrassed look.

Eberhard understood, and immediately asked the communications officer to call.

This scene made Annette more and more confused, because if it was a gift, it should be brought on her body or put in the car, but Qin Chuan still had to call.

After a while, a car drove to the side of the road and stopped, and after jumping off several German soldiers, a man in civilian clothes followed.

He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Annette, and then smiled: "Hey, Annette, long time no see!" ”
