Chapter 138: Victory in World War II

As the Soviet army continued to approach the German mainland, the fruits of World War II victory were about to be won by the Soviet army first, and the American army was not reconciled, no longer grinding, and soon launched a large-scale landing operation in Normandy.

The Allies successively mobilized 36 divisions with a total strength of 3 million troops, mainly the United States, followed by the Canadian and British troops, the French army as logistics, and the Tang Army only provided naval aviation cover, and on the eve of D-Day, a formation of 600 Great Bustard transport planes was dispatched to airdrop several American troops to the rear of Normandy.

Beginning on 6 April, the US-Tang Navy launched a large-scale offensive, with 40 battleships deployed off the coast of Normandy to fiercely shell the German coastal defensive positions.

Due to the fact that the German Navy was severely damaged by the Tang Army's aircraft carrier battle group not long ago, there was a lack of effective Liliang to stop the thousands of warships of the US and Tang Navy, as well as nearly 10,000 landing ships.

In just three days, the U.S. army finally tore open the Normandy gap at a huge cost of sacrificing 150,000 people, and on the 24th, the Normandy landing battle came to an end, and the Allies once again paid the price of 50,000 deaths, annihilating 190,000 German troops before and after, and winning the Normandy campaign.

With the Allied consolidation of the Normandy landings, 170,000 vehicles, 600,000 tons of various supplies, and 2.1 million Allied troops successfully crossed the English Channel.

The French campaign immediately began, and the Allies spent three months destroying or severely damaging a total of 40 German divisions, and three German field marshals and one army group commander were removed from their posts or resigned. Killed and captured 20 senior generals such as commanders, army commanders, and division commanders of German army groups, captured and destroyed more than 3,000 German artillery pieces of various kinds, and destroyed more than 1,000 combat vehicles. The Germans lost 3,500 aircraft. There were 13,000 tanks, 20,000 vehicles of various kinds, and more than 400,000 personnel, and there were almost no main German forces left in France.

The Allies hit the German-French border in one go, rested a little, and prepared to attack the German mainland with a thunderous blow.

At the same time, the Soviet army was also competing. Four million Soviet troops entered Poland, a little closer to Berlin, Germany.

Just when the United States and the Soviet Union thought that Berlin, Germany was in their pockets, they never thought that the Tang Empire finally had a move.

What broke them was that. During the period of the Allied Army's bloody war with Germany and Italy, Zhang Meng only sent the Longyan Commando under the Blue Fox Special Service to infiltrate Spain through Portugal, assassinating the Spanish dictatorship Franco and his cronies one by one, and at the same time supporting the Spanish Democratic Party to come to power.

The new Spanish government, with the support of the Tang Empire, abandoned its neutrality. Join the Allied faction in battle.

Subsequently. The Tang Empire sent 4 armored divisions and 6 mechanized infantry divisions to land from the Tang naval base in Gibraltar, transported by Spanish railway, directly to southern France, and forced the Vichy French government to surrender.

The same tactics were also used by the Tang Army on Mussolini in Italy, and the special forces of the Tang Army, with the cooperation of the Italian guerrillas, suddenly landed in Turin and killed Mussolini, who was making military deployments there. An agreement was reached with the King of Italy, and Italy announced its unconditional surrender to the Don Army. The Don army entered Italy directly from the south of France and reached the German border north.

In this way, the troops of the United States, Tang and the Soviet Union arrived at the German border almost simultaneously and surrounded Germany. Although the Tang Empire contributed the least, the elimination of the two dictators, Franco and Mussolini, and the unconditional surrender of Italy, was not much worse than the Allied efforts to recover Britain and France, making it impossible for the United States and the Soviet Union to squeeze the Tang Army out of the Zuihou War, which snatched the fruits of victory.

Hitler knew that he was powerless, and the German army lacked confidence in victory, and defeat was inevitable.

However, compared with the United States and the Soviet Union, Hitler hated the Tang Empire, especially Zhang Meng. For this reason, Hitler issued several secret assassination operations to assassinate Zhang Meng, but all failed, but Hitler was unwilling, he wanted to take revenge on Zhang Meng and the Tang Empire, so at the moment of Zuihou, Hitler mobilized heavy troops in southern Germany to fight to the death with the Tang Army, which greatly reduced the strength of the German army faced by the American army in the west and the Soviet army in the east, and the pressure was sharply reduced.

In the Daming Palace, Zhang Meng was so angry that he grinded his teeth, with the powerful weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, it was not a problem to defeat the 400,000 elite troops of the German army, but it would take a certain amount of time. And Hitler didn't have many troops in the first place, and the six million troops of the United States and the Soviet Union only needed a short time to reach Berlin.

Zhang Meng was unwilling to let the US and Soviet armies occupy Berlin first, and he also wanted to intervene, so Hitler played a child with him at this time to retaliate against his temper, which made Zhang Meng annoyed and angry.

"If the Germans cannot be defeated in three days, or if our casualties increase, use the atomic bomb!"

Zhang Meng is very decisive, at this time he will not be a mother-in-law, let alone a merciful. The atomic bomb is the deterrent weapon of the Tang Empire, and it is the only thing that makes the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France dare not talk about the "past" with the Tang Empire after the end of World War II, and it is the key to ensuring the core interests of the Tang Empire.

War casualties are the bottom line of the Tang army, and once the casualties make the Tang army and the people of the Tang Empire dissatisfied, it is time to use the atomic bomb.

However, Hitler deliberately couldn't get along with Zhang Meng, and pressed all the 400,000 elites of the German army to the side of the Tang army, blocking the Tang army from entering Berlin.

On June 6, a modified White Crane bomber of the Tang Empire arrived over Augsburg, west of Munich, with a bear child atomic bomb, dropping the first atomic bomb used in war in human history.

Like a magnitude 10 earthquake, a fiery red mushroom cloud rose into the sky, soaring into the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters, like ten suns shining at the same time, and all the German troops in Munich, hundreds of kilometers away, saw it.

But they didn't know what it was, and then the Don Army launched a propaganda offensive to inform the Germans that it was an atomic bomb and that Augsburg had been razed to the ground.

The Germans did not believe it, and they continued to fight to the death with the Tang army, which made the Tang army on the opposite side grind their teeth and rub their palms with hatred.

At the same time, the Tang Empire had officially issued an ultimatum to Germany, and informed Augsburg that the explosion was the newly developed atomic bomb of the Tang Army, which could destroy a city with one piece, and demanded that Germany surrender unconditionally.

Hitler did not believe it and sent people to Augsburg to investigate, but to his shock, the city and the 100,000 German soldiers and civilians in it disappeared overnight, and the place was in ruins, and people who entered it would be killed by radiation. But he still wanted to resist, let alone surrender to Zhang Meng, he felt faceless, he hated Zhang Meng to death.

Zhang Meng also did not give Hitler time, he knew that the American and Soviet armies were about to arrive in Berlin, and the fruits of Zuihou's victory could not be swallowed by the United States and the Soviet Union alone, and the Tang Empire had to occupy a share.

Therefore, the Tang Empire issued another warning the next day, preparing to drop a second atomic bomb on Landau, east of Munich.

This time the Germans were prepared, they evacuated most of the troops and inhabitants, and sent commissioners to watch from afar.

When the second bear child was dropped, many people took pictures of the explosion of the atomic bomb, and the terrifying power directly destroyed the entire small city of Landau, and the more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians who remained there and did not evacuate were not spared.

The Tang Empire showed that the atomic bomb was too powerful, so it refrained from dropping it, and instead of dropping it on the densely populated cities in Germany, it chose two small towns with small populations.

But this was enough to deter the Germans, even Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union were shocked, and even let the Tang Empire develop the atomic bomb first, they actually all had their own ghosts, once they destroyed Germany and Italy, they would attack the Tang Empire and want to return the land that was robbed by the Tang Empire, but now they don't dare.

The Tang Empire once again issued an ultimatum to Germany, demanding that Germany surrender unconditionally, otherwise Berlin would be next.

All the Germans panicked, Hitler originally said that the Tang Empire would not dare to drop bombs in the capital, but the 400,000 German elites in Munich all surrendered to the Tang Army on the same day, which made Hitler collapse, knowing that he could not prevent the Tang Army from arriving in Berlin.

All the German troops did not want to fight, although they were willing to fight Hitler to Zuihou with one shot, but they had families, they did not want to affect their wives and children, and they were afraid that the Tang army would drop atomic bombs. Especially the top German generals, who drafted the unconditional surrender behind Hitler's back.

Hitler was cornered, and he didn't want to admit defeat to Zhang Meng, so he was so angry that he committed suicide, and a generation of cattle died tragically.

The day after his suicide, Germany announced its unconditional surrender.

The American and Soviet armies rushed into Berlin as soon as possible to carve up Hitler's legacy, but the Tang Army was the first to receive the surrender of the German army, after all, the Tang Army had the atomic bomb, which was the most feared weapon of the German army. Therefore, the Tang Empire also sent airborne troops to directly airborne Berlin.

Since the Tang Empire ordered the German army to surrender only to the Tang army, when the American and Soviet armies advanced, they were fiercely resisted by the Germans, and the Tang army was airborne, but did not meet any resistance.

But both American and Soviet armies were red-eyed, and it didn't take long for them to rush into Berlin.

The number of airborne troops of the Tang Army was small, and they were busy accepting the surrender of the German army, seizing the treasury of the Nazi German army, weapons research and development materials, plundering scientists, Jishu personnel, etc., and finally occupied only half of Berlin, and the rest was occupied by the armies of the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union.

The German army in other places still resisted the American and Soviet armies, and did not resist the Tang army, until the United States and the Soviet Union were forced to be helpless and recognized that the Tang Empire had a decisive result in the war against Germany, and the Tang Empire informed the German army that it could surrender to the American and Soviet forces, and it was not until this time that the Second Shijie War ended.

However, there was still a turbulent undercurrent that followed, and the three countries of Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union were the strongest victorious countries, and there were many differences in dividing the interests of the defeated countries and distributing the fruits of victory, and the three-way war of words began one after another.
