Chapter 255: The Situation in Europe!
Dujiazhuang, an unknown village, because the Shitai Highway runs through the center of this village, this originally unknown village, has become particularly important at this time.
Because a few kilometers behind it is Shimen City, since the Jingcheng Pass, after the successive losses of Lu County (now Luquan City), it has become the last checkpoint for the army to guard Shimen.
Most of the main forces of the Fifth Brigade of the Reading Force were gathered here, and the Dujiazhuang Village on both sides of the Shitai Highway had become a solid fortress at this time.
On the Shitai Highway in the center of the village, several fortifications have been dug from the head of the village to the village.
On both sides of the road in front of the village, the devils also built a large number of field fortifications, and Hebian Zhengsan deployed three reading infantry brigades and a motorized infantry squadron in this unknown small village.
These three infantry brigades were the second, fourth, and fifth infantry brigades of the 5th Brigade, of which the 2nd Infantry Brigade guarded the front of the village, and the 4th and 5th Infantry Brigades each held the villages on the east and west sides.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ In Lu County, the first division of the Reading Army captured this historic ancient city yesterday and completely annihilated one infantry squadron and two battalions of puppet troops of the devil defenders.
Among them, almost all the devils were killed in battle, and the puppet soldiers were either killed or captured.
After the prisoners were settled, Niu Tiangui convened a regiment-wide military meeting, and all the officers above the company level of the first corps arrived.
Niu Tiangui took off the military hat on his head, threw it on the long table in the conference room, and said, "The next stop is Dujiazhuang, your battalion is the striker?" β
"Tuanzao, let the first battalion go up! Guaranteed to take Dujiazhuang. The battalion commander patted his chest and stood up.
"Tuanzuo, this time we should be in the second battalion, the first battalion has been the pioneer all the way, and the oil and water have been fished out by them, so you have to have a bowl of water." The second battalion commander complained dissatisfiedly.
As soon as the third battalion commander wanted to stand up and speak, he was stopped by Niu Tiangui waving his hand, Niu Tiangui hooked his hand to the third battalion commander and said, "Is there any smoke?" Give Lao Tzu one. β
The commander of the third battalion took out a box of cigarettes from the cloth pocket of his jacket, took out one, and handed it to Niu Tiangui.
Then he took out a match and lit the cigarette that had been in his mouth for Niu Tiangui, Niu Tiangui took a hard puff, and then said with a stern expression: "This time you can't underestimate the devil, according to intelligence, the devil has gathered at least one wing of troops and deployed it in Dujiazhuang, and these three infantry brigades are the last trump card in the hands of Hebian Zhengsan." The combat effectiveness is not at the same level as those previous devil soldiers. β
Just as the four battalion commanders wanted to interject, Niu Tiangui said in a firm tone: "Although Dujiazhuang is a difficult bone to gnaw, but since our regiment followed the military seat from the defense of Nanjing to the bloody battle of Xuzhou, it was not all a difficult bone to chew at that time, so nothing can resist the pace of our first regiment of the Iron Army!" Under the iron hooves of our iron army, all obstacles will become a stepping stone for us to reach higher heights, now! I command! β
The four battalion commanders all stood up and looked at Niu Tiangui.
Niu Tiangui paused and said: "I order, the first, second, and third battalions are all pressed up, and they will attack Dujiazhuang in three ways, and the artillery battalion will be supported!" β
"Yes!" The four of them suddenly stood up and promised in unison.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ The county seat of Jingcheng.
Zhang Mingyu was discussing the military situation with Zhang Biao and others, and a soldier from the guard battalion ran in in a panic.
"The military seat is not good," the soldier said anxiously.
Zhang Mingyu recognized this soldier, he was a guard in his residence, Zhang Mingyu asked unhurriedly: "Xiao Wang, what's the matter, don't panic, speak slowly." β
"Junzao, just now, Vice Minister Jin led someone to take Miss Liu away! Said that Miss Liu was a spy and wanted to interrogate her. Xiao Wang said with an ugly face.
"Suffered, forgot about this." Zhang Mingyu said secretly. In fact, as a later generation, of course he knew that although Jin Bihui was an excellent spy, her jealousy was as strong as her ability.
Now Liu Ruyan's arrival is undoubtedly a potential opponent and threat to her. For a strong person like Jin Bihui, there is definitely no room for someone who is superior to her in all aspects.
Zhang Mingyu did not make a judgment immediately, but stood up with his hands behind his back, paced back and forth a few times, and then said to Chief of Staff Liu Cheng: "Chief of Staff, you go now and rescue Liu Ruyan, but don't anger Jin Bihui too much, she is still useful to us." β
"Hmm!" Liu Cheng nodded knowingly and said, "Understood, I'll do it right away." With that, he turned and left.
Zhang Mingyu knew that he had better not get involved in this matter, women are troubles, and women should solve these troubles by themselves.
He didn't want Jin Bihui to think that he was crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, which would definitely affect Jin Bihui's trust in him.
Zhang Mingyu knew that Jin Bihui had a lot of information in his hands about the army and the base camp of the city, and if he wanted to fight on the base camp of the city in the future, it would be indispensable for Jin Bihui's support.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Jin Bihui's interrogation room was not far from Zhang Mingyu's headquarters, only two streets away.
In the interrogation room, Liu Ruyan's hands had been tied separately, and there were three people standing in front of her, one of whom was Jin Bihui, and the other two were people from the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Security.
Jin Bihui looked the beautiful woman in front of him up and down, although he was arrested by himself, he didn't have the slightest fear on his face, some were just calm and calm.
However, this kind of calmness and calmness was contempt and disrespect for herself in Jin Bihui's eyes, and she said coldly: "How is it? Miss Liu, this is the second time you've been arrested by me, right? Say, what are your intentions to infiltrate the Reading Army, and you can suffer less by saying it, for my methods, I believe you should be clear. β
"Humph!" Liu Ruyan snorted coldly: "Yoshiko Kawashima, respect the daimyo, I really didn't expect that you would betray your so-called emperor to serve us Chinese." Do you say that you also have people who betray your country and seek glory? Today is a long insight. β
"Shut up! What do you know, to tell you the truth that I am Chinese! Jin Bihui said with some anger.
"Are you Chinese? Haha, then you are a Han Jian, and you are a traitor! Liu Ruyan sneered.
"You ......." Jin Bihui said angrily: "It seems that if you don't let you suffer a little, you don't know how powerful I am!" β
"The Chief of Staff has arrived!" A loud voice rang out.
I saw Liu Cheng striding in with a team of soldiers with loaded guns, Jin Bihui and the other two hurriedly saluted, Liu Cheng returned the salute, and went straight to the point: "Minister Jin, I am ordered by the military seat to come and take Liu Ruyan away!" With that, Liu Cheng waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers behind him to go up and save people.
"Wait!" Jin Bihui stopped: "Chief of Staff, this person is a Kuomintang spy, and she has a purpose for infiltrating our Reading Army." β
"Minister Jin, Miss Liu is now a guest of the military seat, let me take her away!" Liu Cheng said, and asked the soldier to come forward to save people.
"Stop!" Jin Bihui said angrily: "This person is an extremely dangerous person, he can't be taken away, I will interrogate him personally." β
"Humph!" Seeing that Jin Bihui would not let go, Liu Cheng also said angrily: "Could it be that Minister Jin wants to disobey even the orders of the military seat?" β
"Help!" Liu Cheng shouted.
"Yes!" Two fighters stepped forward to relieve Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan walked up to Jin Bihui and whispered to him: "Miss Jin Bihui, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to interrogate me." β
"You ......" Jin Bihui was speechless.
Liu Ruyan chuckled twice and walked out. Liu Cheng glanced at Jin Bihui, and then walked out as well.
Jin Bihui's face turned blue and clenched his hands, and he secretly said in his heart: "Liu Ruyan, I must defeat you, definitely!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Dujiazhuang, said to be the position of the army.
......A series of whistle-like sounds sounded in the sky, and dense shells and fireballs dragged long tail flames through the sky and smashed towards the positions of the Japanese army.
"Knock knock........." The entire Dujiazhuang suddenly shook, explosions came and went, and clusters of firelight rushed into the sky with bloody rain stumps.
The Devil's carefully built fortifications were shattered by the Read's field artillery group, but the Nightmare of the Devil was not over, when a roaring engine sound was heard in the distant sky.
A devil commander exclaimed, "Yaga, the fighter of the Zhina people! Fast forward to the bomb shelter! As soon as the devil commander's words fell, more than a dozen H-1 bombers exposed their fuselages from the clouds and swooped towards the devil's position.
"Chirp, tweet...", one after another, the bombs fell vertically from the cabin and accurately landed on the devil's position.
οΌ The devils who had no time to hide in the air-raid shelter were suddenly blown up into the sky by powerful aerial bombs, and the wails of the devils and the sound of explosions were intertwined.
Niu Tiangui was in the forward command headquarters, looking at the military position in front of him that had fallen into a sea of fire, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay! Well fried, blow up these dogs, now this feng shui is in turn, in the past, we were bombed by the little devils, but now it is turned over, it is time for the little devils to taste the taste of being bombed. β
"Tuanza, a battalion for instructions, can you launch an attack?" A warrior walked in heavily armed and asked.
Niu Tiangui put down the binoculars, turned around and said: "Order all battalions, after the bombardment is over, immediately launch a charge, and the first round of charge must take the devil's first line of defense!" β
"Yes!" The warrior snapped to his feet, then turned and strode away.
"Boom Boom Knock ......."
The bomber group dumped all the bombs carried on the military position, looked at the sea of fire below, shook its wings with satisfaction and began to return.
As soon as the bombers flew away, a deafening shout sounded on the position of the first battalion, and several company commanders stood up, raised their arms and said: "All bayonets!" Rush me! β
"Little devil, I call you an immortal! Kill! β
"Brothers, rush up and chop up these dogs! Come on! β
"Little devil, your grandfather is here, come if you are not afraid of death!"
The warriors roared and charged forward.
At the same time, the infantry of the other two battalions also jumped out of the trenches, picked up their rifles, loaded their bayonets, and rushed forward with shouts.
The machine gunners picked up their machine guns and opened heavy fire in front of them.
"Tutu Tu ......................"
"Da ............"
Dense gunfire rang out incessantly, and from time to time the soldiers of the Reading Force fell, but the soldiers behind did not hesitate to pass over the corpses of their comrades and continue to charge forward fiercely.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ European theater.
The German [***] team had already surrounded Paris, the capital of France, and Hitler adopted Zhang Mingyu's suggestion and sent an armored division to quickly intersperse the English Channel to cut off the retreat of the British and French forces, and the original historical Dunkirk retreat did not appear again.
More than 400,000 Anglo-French troops were encircled in a narrow area of northern France, and Hitler did not give the order that would be ridiculed as the most stupid in history β to halt the advance.
At this time, the German tank armored forces were only ten miles from Dunkirk, which was the closest. Guderian took the telegram order issued by Hitler himself and gave the order to his subordinates: "Full power!" Aim Dunkirk forward! Warriors, cut off the last retreat of the British! Victory belongs to our great Nazi leader Adolf. Hitler! β
Sure enough, after a day of fierce fighting, General Guderian led his armored troops into this port city with only more than 10,000 inhabitants, so that the only escape route for 400,000 British and French troops was completely cut off.
Coupled with the constant bombing of the Luftwaffe, the 400,000 British and French troops suffered thousands of casualties every time, and with psychological panic, there were countless deserters.
The next day, the then French Prime Minister Reynaud had to announce the defeat of Paris under internal and external troubles, and what made countless French people collapse was that Defense Minister Weygand decided to make Paris an undefended city without authorization.
This romantic capital wept in invective, and began the darkest and shameful years in the history of her construction. The president fled, the prime minister fled with the cabinet, the speaker fled with the parliamentarians, and the number of people fleeing south from the north of France to the south was as large as two million. The Third Republic may not know that the Third Republic will never be able to return to the capital.
News of the arrival of the German army was everywhere, the roads were crowded with poor refugees, the movement of the remnants of the defeated French army began to be blocked, and the French army, which had lost confidence, even lost the courage to make a last-ditch fight.
The French officers and soldiers who lost their armor were either trapped in place and insulting traitors, or they became deserters and robbers. Two German soldiers could easily occupy a French town with a population of tens of thousands, and the French did not dare to shoot at the Germans for fear of being blamed, and even the women of the whole city came out en masse in the south to stop the defenders from blowing up the bridge, and the bridge was saved. But the gateway to southern France!
The citizens of some French cities spontaneously went to meet the German invading army, and the local officials in France seized the time to join the new "friendly army".
The French political axe fled to the castle of Kange, but at this time, the German army, with the help of the French people, quickly approached the location of the French political axe. At this time, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was constantly maneuvering among the presidents, prime ministers and ministers of France. Trying to save the situation, but because the capitulation faction in the French political axe has decided to surrender, the French Republic, the second largest colonial power in the world, which claims to have the strongest army in Europe, is destined to come to a shameful end of irreversible destruction.
On April 15, 1941, the French political axe was forced to retreat to the southwestern city of Bordeaux, and the French army was defeated. The president could only appoint Petain as prime minister, and immediately after Petain came to power, he came up with a cabinet list, which is known as the fastest cabinet in history of the Third Republic, and it is also the last.
And this Petain was a capitulation faction at all, and Petain led the newly formed cabinet to surrender to Hitler. At the same time, Petain demanded by radio that the entire French population must stop fighting.
Finally, after three days, after several contacts, the French capitulation representative Wei Gang came to the special train of Fuqi parked in the Compiègne forest, it was here in November 1918 that Germany signed a stop of the surrender, and now, feng shui turns, history has played a joke with the French, this surrender representative Wei Gang was ordered by Marshal Fuqi to read out the terms of the Tente to the Germans in this sleeping car.
Four days later, Hitler approved France's terms of surrender, and the armistice agreement between Germany and France came into effect, and France, the world's leading superpower, surrendered in less than a month and a half.
The rapid demise of France shocked the countries of the world, and the United States and the United States were even more surprised. He lamented the strength of Germany, and at this time he had already begun to regret severing the alliance with Germany.
However, although the capitulation faction surrendered on behalf of France, in other parts of France, most of the French [***] people were unwilling to be destroyed by the Germans, and there are countless examples of French troops scattered against the German army.
The most critical was the 400,000 Anglo-French troops encircled in the Dunrunkel area, which suffered heavy losses under the strong blow of German land and air fire, coupled with the cutting off of logistics.
General Guderian led the armored forces with the cooperation of the infantry, further compressing the living space of the British and French forces, and finally the French could not bear the huge casualties and psychological pressure, and announced their surrender to the German army on April 29, 1941.
About 200,000 people, the French elite army surrendered without a fight, so far the French army was wiped out, and the arrogant and invincible army unit that once dominated the European continent, known as the most powerful army force in Europe, was completely defeated under the German blitzkrieg.
The German Army became the most powerful army in Europe and the world.
The remaining more than 100,000 British troops were faced with a dilemma, on the one hand, there were domestic public opinion, and on the other hand, hundreds of thousands of German [***] troops, under the pressure of domestic public opinion, Prime Minister Churchill was forced to order 100,000 British troops to lay down their arms and surrender to the German army.
At this point, the European continent was basically occupied by the German army, and Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, France and other countries perished and became German colonies.
The British expeditionary force of nearly 200,000 was completely wiped out, and the British army lost not only troops, but also a large number of heavy equipment. At this point, Germany's territory expanded to its peak, and Hitler's ambition to dominate the world was further expanded.
