Chapter 606: Advance to Paris

When using grenades, they can shoot for several kilometers, and now at this distance, they can just use the 88mm tank gun of the Panther 3 tank to provide them with fire support!

Kurt stood on the embankment, looking at the fortifications of the French army on the other side, with the bombing of the Stuka bombers, the reinforcements from his own side, and the counterattack on the French side, which was getting weaker and weaker.

"Report, sappers found a suitable bank for bridges." Just then, next to Meyer, an adjutant said.

"Then what are you waiting for, build a bridge immediately!" Meyer said: "Our tanks, ready to cross the river!" ”

"Buzz, buzz." Sapper Locke drove his truck and slowly retreated.

From the outside, his truck, like other Ford trucks, has all-wheel drive, off-road chassis, but the rear bodywork is different, its back, there are steel plates, and there are hydraulic cylinders.

At this time, he was slowly retreating to the back, and behind him, there was already a river bank.

Little by little, and little by little, until the rear wheel was pressed tightly against the riverbank, the squad leader who commanded on the side shouted loudly: "Stop! ”

He hit the brakes.

"Snort." The squad leader on the side came up and toggled the hydraulic lever in the middle of the truck, only to hear a few sounds, and then saw the steel plate on the top, and slowly propped it up!

The steel plate moved backwards, moved, and then, turned over.

This is the bridge leg! It was firmly planted in the river, quite firmly, and then, the second steel plate was laid in place, and the bridge deck was ready.

"Let's go!" The squad leader shouted.

The truck moved forward, and the second truck came up upside down again.

This time, the truck fell all the way to the freshly laid bridge deck, backwards, and then backwards, to the edge.

They are a special force with only one mission, which is to build bridges!

The low-lying countries of Europe are full of water networks, and if you want to break through in these countries as soon as possible, you can't avoid a problem, that is, building bridges.

Where there are bridges, they can take them, and where there are no bridges, they need to build bridges themselves!

For this reason, the German military industry department has specially developed this bridge erection vehicle, which is connected one by one, and constantly stands forward, and finally can build a bridge that directly reaches the opposite side.

Compared to the previous way, their bridge building is mechanized and fast.

"Boom!" Just as the third bridge erector was going backwards onto the bridge, a shell, exploded near them, splashing a column of water several meters high.

The bridging soldiers had nothing to fear, and they had long been mentally prepared for this situation.

If you want to cross the river, and on the other side of the river, it is the enemy's position, and if you find that you are building a bridge, there is still a reason not to do it? In later generations, some bridge-erecting vehicles used trucks and some used tanks, becoming specialized bridge-erecting tanks, which certainly had the meaning of waste utilization, but also the meaning of protecting sappers.

And now, Germany is not rich enough to build bridges with tanks, they are just ordinary ten-ton military trucks, and now, the shells fired from the opposite side instantly pose a threat to them.

This threat, of course, was only temporary, and at the same time as they discovered that the other side was firing, the German tank crews on this side entered a state of rage.

When they got that they could build a bridge here, there was already a tank company moving here, and as soon as they arrived here, they saw their own sappers, who were risking their lives to build a bridge.

"Boom, boom!" In an instant, more than a dozen tanks on this side fired at the opposite side together, and at least five or six shells hit the first shot, and the other party was instantly dumb.

The barrel of the tank slowly turned, and inside, the grenades were stuffed, and as long as the opponent came up again, he would be beaten immediately!

Whether it's a field artillery, a machine gun, or a rifle, even if a sniper who doesn't have long eyes dares to shoot, the grenade will hit the opponent's head without hesitation!

In front of the tanks that are eyeing you here, the opposite side does not have the courage to fire again, they only have one chance, and once they fire, they will be scrapped!

At the same time as the bridge was being built here, on the surface of the river, almost only a turret and the infantry fighting vehicle on the hull were exposed, and they had already moved to the opposite side, and when the body of the car was wet and exposed, and rushed towards the opposite side, the French army had begun to retreat uncontrollably.

They were already very good, in other directions, the French troops surrendered with almost no resistance, and here, at least, they resisted symbolically, until the German armored vehicles came up, and they began to retreat.

The soldiers jumped out of their armor and pounced on the opposing French positions like tigers, and in the sky, Stuka was still circling around, ready to shoot at the French troops who were still resisting.

Here, the bridge of the last section has just been built, and one after another the Black Panther 3 tanks have rumbled up!

There was no one to guide them in front, and the drivers showed their heads and drove up at high speed, not at all afraid of falling down, and the width of the bridge was almost the same as the width of their tracks.

To be able to join the SS and become an SS Panzer Division, every soldier is quite good, and these drivers are all veterans, and they can drive over with their eyes closed.

A gap has been opened in the line of defense of the Oise, and Paris, right in front of you!

At this time, there was a panic in the city of Paris.

The streets were jammed with cars, and when they learned that the German troops had suddenly moved to the Oise River, the Renault government panicked, and Weigand's defense line could not stop the fierce Germans at all!

Paris, about to be conquered by the Germans, Renault and government officials hurriedly moved from Paris to Tours.

Sitting in his car, looking out, Renault was in a heavy mood.

Next to it, the tall Eiffel Tower, thinking that the capital of France was about to be trampled by the iron hooves of the Germans, Renault felt his heart like a knife.

Paris, the capital of France, the history of this place, can be traced back to the fourth century AD, a tribe of the Romans forcibly occupied the Gaul village on the island, and established the capital of the "Paris Gui" people, from which Paris got its name.

Since the sixth century AD, Paris has become the capital of the Kingdom of France, and successive French feudal dynasties have used Paris as their capital.

If we are closer, we have to start after the revolution of September 1870, when France established the Third Republic, which continues to the present day. The republican and imperial regimes, constantly alternating in France, seem to indicate the ill-fated fate of France.

Now, as the leader of France, he is leaving his capital! France, the future is bleak! Thinking of this, Renault's face was full of old tears, and his departure seemed to herald the twilight of the French Republic.

On the horizon, it was already sunset, red as fire, and like hot blood.
