The Tang Air Force suddenly struck and sank all the ships that Britain was preparing to retreat for Dunkirk's 400,000 British and French troops, causing the total annihilation of 400,000 allied troops.

For the French, the defeat at Dunkirk deprived them of any resistance, and the Germans surrounded most of France, bypassing the Maginot Line and capturing Paris in early June. The newly formed Pétain government asked the Germans for an armistice. Another group of more than 150,000 British troops (including 20,000 Polish troops) began to retreat on a large scale. On the afternoon of the 18th, a group of British troops in Zuihou withdrew from Cherbourg. At this point, as a whole, all British troops withdrew from France. After France announced the cessation of resistance, the Germans did not cease fire, and only agreed to negotiate with France after more than 500,000 French troops inside and outside the Maginot Line were encircled.

On June 22, the Franco-German armistice treaty was signed. At Hitler's behest, the surrender ceremony took place in a train car in the Kambien Forest, where Germany had signed its instrument of surrender at the end of the First Great War. The capitulation agreement provided that the main industrial areas of northern and western France, which accounted for about three-fifths of the total territory, Paris, and the Strait and the Atlantic coast, were to be occupied by Germany; France bears the full cost of the occupying forces; The non-occupied zone in the south-west was ruled by the Pétain government, which was seated in Vichy. The whole of France was practically under German control.

France fell, and the retreating British army In order to avoid the French Navy being controlled by the Germans, the British command ordered the sinking of the French Navy's warships. Destroy the French forces that were not ready to evacuate to French West Africa, because these French troops were ready to surrender to the Germans.

However, it was just the night before the British acted. The agents of the Tang Empire lurking in France released the news that Britain was preparing to take action against the French navy, which caused a huge riot. The French capitulationists, who were not ready to leave France for French West Africa, went into action, and they were to hand over the French battleships to the Germans immediately. However, some of the French anti-Japanese naval officers and sailors who were preparing to go to French West Africa and were ready to continue the war of resistance did not allow it, and bloody clashes broke out between the two sides.

In the end, it was the outnumbered resistance faction that defeated the capitulation faction and took control of the entire Toulon port naval base. They boarded French warships that could sail away and prepared to go to French West Africa in order to make a comeback, while those that could not sail were ready to blow up or wait until dawn the next day. British bombers and navies came to meet them and then destroyed them.

Since the German army did not control the southern part of France, the German army was in the north, and the south was ruled by the Vichy French regime, so they did not worry that the German army would be able to quickly come and steal the warship or protect the warship.

However. They don't know. All of this was secretly arranged by the Ministry of Defense of the Tang Empire, and the news was released first to cause the French Navy to fight among themselves, so that they would lose both, so that there would not be much left of the French army guarding the naval base in the port of Toulon.

At the time of fierce fighting between the French army, six Tang Army's Great Bustard-type military transport planes suddenly flew over Toulon Airport, and officers and men from a battalion of the First Army of the Tang Airborne Forces suddenly carried out a parachute operation. On the ground, more than a dozen agents of Datang had already penetrated the tower and substation of Toulon Airport, cutting off the airport's external communication and making it impossible to send out an alarm to notify the surrounding French troops, and the electric gate was pulled down. The entire airfield was dark, covering the safe landing of the airborne troops of the Don Army.

This battalion of the Airborne Forces of the Don Army was all lightly armed. In less than half an hour after the successful airborne landing, all the troops were assembled and surrounded the entire airfield.

At this time, the garrison in the airport had already exchanged fire with the Tang agents who had invaded the airport. In order to buy time for the Tang army to parachute, six Tang agents died, and the other agents were surrounded in the tower.

When they were about to storm the tower to eliminate the invaders, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded behind the god, which was the unique sound of the M1 submachine gun equipped with the standard equipment of the Tang Army, and it was also the sharpest weapon of the airborne troops, and it was also an invincible weapon for close encounters.

In the blink of an eye, an entire reinforced platoon of French soldiers was wiped out by well-trained Don airborne troops, and then the Don army took control of the entire Toulon airfield.

The tower resumed communication command, but not the channel of the French aviation, but the special channel of the Datang Air Force. Power was restored to the substation, and navigation lights on the runway were lit up.

Not long after, the Tang Army's Great Bustard-type military transport planes landed safely on the airport runway one after another. These transport planes were loaded with the commanders and combat personnel of the First Airborne Army of the Tang Dynasty, the strength of a whole regiment, and then all kinds of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and other heavy equipment also arrived at the airport one after another, and the troops of the Tang Army Airborne Regiment were fully armed and assembled.

When more than a dozen transport planes landed, it was the officers and men of the Tang Royal Navy who came down, they landed in France for nothing else, it was for a large number of French Navy warships anchored in the port of Toulon, this is a lot of valuable wealth, especially during the war, the ready-made warships are worth more than any rebuilt battleships, and the military significance is huge, Zhang Meng does not want the French Navy to be blown up and sunk by the British, he needs this batch of French warships to be of great use.

At this time, the airborne armored regiment of the Don Army had already set off for the naval base in the port of Toulon.

A civil war had just ended there, and the victorious rebels were not doing well, most of them were wounded and had little ammunition left.

When the armored fighting vehicles of the Tang Army suddenly drove over, they immediately thought that the armored forces of the German army had come over, and they were terrified, and the armored forces of the German army had become a nightmare in their hearts. But they still gritted their teeth and took up arms to resist, but unfortunately it was not of much use.

The weapons of the French army were all single-shot rifles, automatic weapons were basically pistols and machine guns, and the most powerful was grenades, but these weapons still could not penetrate the tanks and combat vehicles of the Tang army.

Rumble!

When the tanks of the Don Army opened fire, the positions that the French army had worked so hard to build were suddenly blown away.

This was followed by heavy machine-gun fire from the Tang army's chariots, which caused heavy casualties to the French army, and was completely suppressed, and soon the Tang infantry flanked and encircled the encirclement, annihilating the French army in the Toulon base.

Until the French prisoners saw that the enemy in front of them was not the German army but the Tang army, they were all surprised, this is also too legendary, where did they come from, time and space tunnel?

One by one, the French army slandered in their hearts, they were unwilling, but unfortunately they had been reduced to prisoners and had no power to return to heaven.

When the Tang soldiers rushed to the dock and saw that the French warships anchored in the military port were still intact, they immediately let out a cry of victory.

Until that moment, the hearts of the French soldiers suddenly sank to the bottom, and it turned out that the Tang army was coming for these French warships.

There were more than 100 French warships moored in the harbor, including aircraft carriers, battleships, battle cruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, gunboats, submarines, etc., which were originally intended to be handed over to the German army by the Vichy French government.
