"I don't have time to take you prisoners, lay down your weapons and get out of the way, don't stand in the way!"

Guderian stood on the tank, eager to order all these French soldiers crowded on the road to break through, Li Ling's troops had arrived at the periphery of the Paris defensive circle, and the Seventh Panzer Division had also rushed to the Paris defensive circle, but his own troops had just begun to set off, and it was obviously a little difficult to rush into Paris before Li Ling, not to mention that there were still so many French people crowded on the road ready to surrender?

In the whole of northern France, only the French army in the Paris defense circle is still resisting, the rest of the troops have long since collapsed, and those who have not collapsed have crowded on the road to carry a huge white flag to prevent the bombing of the Luftwaffe and wait for the German ground troops to come and accept the surrender.

The demoralized northern French army had long since lost the idea of resisting the Germans, they just wanted to end the damn war as soon as possible and then go home to be with their families, instead of worrying about whether they would die every day.

The only French troops that could be counted as morale were basically piled up in the Paris defensive circle, and the rest remained in the south of France.

Army Group C has never launched a real attack on the Maginot Line, but has been constantly harassing the opponent, but the order for a general attack has been given, and they no longer need to rely on feints to contain the enemy forces in the Maginot Line.

The day after the order was given, Army Group C, spearheaded by the First Army under the command of Erwin von Witzleben, managed to break through the Maginot Line around Saarbrücken and quickly advanced in the direction of Paris.

The 24 divisions of Army Group C finally joined the assault on Paris.

However, on this day, when the French soldiers in the Paris defense circle braved the fierce air raids to resist the incoming German armored forces, the French government actually made an act that only cowards would do, which seriously damaged the morale of their own family, and the French government fled to Bordeaux!

Originally, the French government could have ordered the troops to hold on to Paris, which at least could have some beneficial effect on the morale of the troops, or at least this was a proof that the French government had not completely given up resistance.

However, the French government made a decision to completely destroy the morale of the French army at such a time, and the French commander-in-chief Weygand demanded that the troops in the defensive circle of Paris give up resistance, fully retreat, withdraw to the rear of Paris and rearrange the defensive line, and declared Paris an undefended city!

Although this order of Maxime Weygand, Chief of Staff of the French Wehrmacht and Commander-in-Chief of the French Army, caused him to lose some prestige in the military and the support of many who were staunch supporters of fighting to the end, he gained a great deal of civilian prestige, because he had a reason that sounded plausible: "I cannot let the people of Paris endure the brutal bombardment of the Germans, and in order to alleviate the losses of the civilian population, I can only choose to let my troops abandon Paris, so that the Germans have no reason to continue bombing Paris." ”

De Gaulle, who had just flown to London and was about to negotiate with Churchill on behalf of the French government for aid from the British, heard the news with bitter hatred, but could not do anything about it.

Although the new appointment has raised his position in the French military, in fact, the army is the most seniority place, and De Gaulle could not shake Weigand's decision even if he was now in Paris or Bordeaux, let alone in London at this time?

Despite his enthusiasm, Charles de Gaulle could only shake his head with a wry smile and do his best to give France the greatest opportunity within his duty.

Wei Gang's order spread like a plague on the forward positions of the French defense, Li Ling wanted to go to Rommel, the commander of the 7th Panzer Division, who had just arrived here, to discuss how to break through the French defense, and the next second the French staged a sudden collapse.

From the first soldier picking up from the trench with a white towel on the muzzle of his gun, to all the French troops on the line along the river putting down their weapons and raising their hands to walk out of the trench, it only took twenty minutes!

The speed of the collapse of the French seriously exceeded Li Ling's expectations, and now it is not only Guderian who has to face the crisis of being blocked by the surrendered French army, but Li Ling and Rommel also have to suffer this embarrassing situation at this time.

There were not many roads that could support the advance of the mechanized army, and now there were crowds of French soldiers who had surrendered, and the speed of the advance of the 1st Regiment and the 7th Panzer Division could be described as turtle speed.

By the end of the day, when they were only one step away from the outskirts of Paris, the troops were simply unable to advance.

The French surrendered soldiers and the French people blocked all the roads, not by order of the French government, nor by any special instigation, but by the last humble efforts of the French soldiers and civilians to slow down the demise of France.

They wanted to stop the Germans with their unarmed bodies, they were prisoners of war and civilians at this time, and the German soldiers would not shoot at prisoners of war and civilians, so they could do everything possible to slow down the Germans' advance.

They succeeded when Li Ling was even able to see Gao from the telescope. By the time the lights of the spire of the Eiffel Tower lit up at night, his troops were completely blocked outside of Paris, unable to advance any further.

"Let the troops stop and rest, and we will move again tomorrow morning, it seems that these people are planning to stop us all night."

Back in the armored command car, Li Ling slept in his clothes, he was not at all worried that the French would threaten his troops, because these people were very careful, for fear that they would not pay attention, so that the Germans would have a reason to shoot at them.

While the Germans were already on the outskirts of Paris, the Italians were held back by unimaginable obstacles on the border between Italy and France, and after a whole day of fighting, they failed to advance a single bit, and even the French advanced about 10 kilometers to Italian soil.

Of course, the fighting between the two sides did look fierce, but there were almost no casualties, and the Italians would have retreated if they noticed that the situation was slightly wrong. Retreating back and forth, they had been unknowingly beaten by the French for nearly 10 kilometers across the border.

At the same time, it was not only the offensive of the Italian ground forces that was hampered, but also in the air, on the territory of Italy.

From the moment the Italian army launched an offensive against the French lines, the RAF launched a bombing campaign against Italy, bombing Milan and ******, as well as Italian airfields, oil depots, and ammunition depots in Libya and East Africa.

Mussolini, eager to reap the benefits of France, did not expect that his troops would be helpless in the face of the French and British armies that were hoisted up and pumped by the German allies......
