Chapter 527: Iron-Blooded Germany (23)
Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The smoke of gunfire in the city has gradually dissipated, and in addition to the groups of Ming officers and soldiers and all kinds of vehicles on the streets, locals have gradually begun to go out to live. Some citizens, organized by the Ming army, began to clean up buildings and large quantities of garbage that had been destroyed during the war. The shops that had been closed for a long time also began to sell various goods after receiving supplies from the Ming army. Everything looks like the war is gone.
Of course, if the locals wanted to buy the supplies they needed in these stores, they had to use the currency of the Ming Dynasty, and the Deutsche Mark had become a piece of waste paper at this time. And if you don't have the money, the merchant who uses precious metals won't mind. It's just that at this time, where do the ordinary residents of the city have any extra wealth? The war has long since drained the last copper plate in their pockets.
In order to get those much-needed supplies, the men of the city began to go out to work for the Ming army. He went to work such as cleaning up the garbage in the city, transporting the bodies of the victims outside the city for burial, shining shoes for the Ming army, selling ice cream, etc., in exchange for payment to support his family.
Women, especially those who have lost their husbands, sons and other male family members in the war, have no other choice. It can only be the right to use women's ultimate weapons in exchange for the right to live. It's to be able to stay alive because they don't have a choice.
"Ah~ dear, hard!" In a small two-storey building in Frankfurt, in a room full of femininity, two men and women with red fruits are constantly rolling on the soft big bed and performing the most primitive human rhythm. Sunlight shone through the windows on the carpet of the room, and there was a faint smell in the air.
"Knock knock!" Just when the two men and women of Chiguoguo were in full swing, a quick knock on the door rang out at an inopportune time.
"Who?!" The man who was obviously in a bad mood raised his head from between the two snow-white masses and yelled with a look of dissatisfaction.
"It's me." A deep voice sounded, but it made the man on the bed jump up suddenly. I didn't even have time to put on my clothes, so I hurried to the door and opened the door.
"Sir!" The man raised his head naked and raised his hands in a military salute.
"Hmm." Outside the door was a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a colonel of the Ming Army's armored corps, he glanced at the little brother under the crotch of his subordinates in front of him, raised his hand to cover his nose and asked, "Where are all my things?" ”
This colonel of the Ming Army's armored corps is Lin Shuo, the commander of the heavy tank battalion directly under the division headquarters of the Second Armored Division, an elite ace unit of the Ming Dynasty. The 2nd Panzer Division had previously fought against German and French forces on the Apennine Peninsula. After the Ming army launched the Battle of Prague and broke through the German defenses, they soon moved south to take Austria and make contact with the Ming army on the Apennine Peninsula.
The Southern European Army Group stationed on the Apennine Peninsula was officially disbanded, and its subordinate units were divided into two parts. Part of the main forces merged with the Ming army on the Iberian Peninsula to form the new Toulon Army Group, which was responsible for combat operations in the southern regions of France. The other part of the army moved north from the Apennine Peninsula into the German mainland and joined the sequence of the Southern Army Group of the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Shuo's 2nd Panzer Division was one of the armies of the German mainland that went north.
After arriving in Germany, the 2nd Panzer Division did not face much fighting. They marched all the way from Vienna to Munich, from Munich to Stuttgart, and from Stuttgart to Frankfurt am Main, where they were crowded with the troops of Army Group Center. Along the way, the 2nd Panzer Division did not participate in much combat.
As for why this powerful army has not been able to participate in the war, the reason is actually very simple. There are too many armies of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the total number of Ming troops in the entire territory of Germany, including the armies of vassal states and the armies from the colonies, was even close to 10 million. This is an absolutely terrifying number.
However, compared to so many Ming troops, Germany itself was too small. With sufficient troops, it is not an unusual thing that the 2nd Panzer Division has not been in any combat.
Because there was no battle, the Ming officers and soldiers quickly put their minds elsewhere. For example, collecting loot everywhere or something. The so-called collection is actually just not directly robbed. After all, the Ming army is a well-educated modern civilized people, and they will still pay when they get good things from the occupied territories.
For example, if an officer or soldier falls in love with a German family's silver cutlery, he will leave a few cans of food to take away. If the host doesn't want to, he may leave an extra pack of cigarettes. If they are still not satisfied, then perhaps the Ming officers and soldiers will pick up their guns and let these locals understand what an occupation army is.
At such a time, Lin Shuo is no exception.
That Ming soldier of Chiguoguo was Lin Shuo's lieutenant adjutant. As a battalion commander of an armored battalion, Lin Shuo's military rank has been promoted to colonel because of his continuous combat exploits. He had already received orders to transfer to the commander of the armored regiment twice, but he refused both times.
Rather than commanding an armored regiment, Lin Shuo preferred to stay in the heavy tank battalion directly under the division headquarters of the Second Armored Division, where he had been serving.
Lin Shuo himself was reluctant to get the loot, so he gave this matter to his adjutant. The lieutenant was also given a sum of money to buy some 'souvenirs'.
Chi Guoguo's adjutant hurriedly came to the dresser in the room, picked up a large basin of all kinds of messy things placed on the dresser, and handed it to Lin Shuo, "Sir, these are your favorite souvenirs." ”
"Oh." Lin Shuo turned around and left after taking these things, but after taking two steps, he stopped, turned to look at his adjutant, "Remember to go back to the army before dinner." ”
"Yes!"
Watching Lin Shuo walk down the stairs step by step, the adjutant breathed a long sigh of relief. After closing the door, he looked at the blonde girl sitting on the bed and covering her delicate body with a sheet, and the adjutant screamed and immediately pounced. Soon after, the room was filled with red-faced gasps.
This kind of thing happens in almost all the occupied territories. Tens of millions of Ming troops are all sturdy young men. They are energetic and full of desire for the opposite sex. During this special war years, these young people had in-depth exchanges with many women from all over the world, leaving behind countless mixed-race offspring.
Zhang Cheng has always been optimistic about this kind of thing. This is also a way of assimilation, and it is the most effective way. The war allowed the victors to kill the men and take possession of their women, thus uniting entire nations and nations. Perhaps in a few generations, the humans on this planet will all be the same people.
When Zhang Cheng was about to arrive in Germany, the entire territory of the Ming army was mobilized. They want to use a large-scale offensive to present Zhang Cheng. The attack on the German Rhine line became the largest military operation of the Ming army at this moment.
By order of the General Staff, this attack on the German Rhine line was to be carried out primarily by Army Group South. And the powerful Army Group Center was prepared to attack the Low Countries. Army Group North was further weakened, and the main operational directions remained Jutland and Scandinavia. Moreover, Army Group North has changed its number, and the current number is Viking Army Group.
Every day, the fighter planes of the Ming Army Aviation kept thousands of tons of bombs over the heads of the allies. The allies lost thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers every day due to the bombing of the Ming army. As for all kinds of military supplies, the casualties of ordinary civilians are even more incalculable.
Many of the cities and villages of the Allied countries had been bombed back to their original state by the Ming army, and there were endless ruins everywhere. Although the air power of the allies continued to rise into the air to resist desperately, the huge difference in performance between piston and jet aircraft caused these Allied air forces to bring huge casualties to each attack.
The air combat exchange ratio between the Daming Army Air Force and the allied air forces is also at least 1:5, and in many cases it can even reach 1:10! Such staggering losses are simply unacceptable to the allies. In the end, the only way to limit the pilots was to attack, and the sky was handed over to Daming Army Airlines.
The Germans' jet production plants had all fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Although they have brought out all the technical information and excellent scientific researchers, they have also shared technology with all the allies.
However, it will take time for countries to turn these technologies into actual warplanes. Even in times of war, everything is in the service of war, and everything can be simplified. But it's still not something that can be done in a short period of time.
The ME262 Storm Birds produced by the Germans were largely lost by this time. The only remaining part has also been transported to the allies for dismantling. In this case, the allies were no longer able to compete with the Ming Army in the sky. And the ground forces of the allies will have to accept the almost endless bombing of the Ming Army and Air Aviation, bombing and bombing!
Air supremacy, written by the Italian Duhei, has been accepted by everyone through the actual test on the battlefield. An army that does not have air supremacy can only be beaten passively. Not to mention organizing a large-scale military operation, it became very difficult for them to even move on the march.
The elite armored forces of the Germans were almost completely lost at this moment. And most of these losses came from the heavy bombardment of the Ming Army Aviation.
By the time Army Group South of the Ming Army officially launched the Battle of the Rhine, the German armored forces could still use less than 400 tanks of various types. Less than 400 tanks remained in the million-strong army, which is a staggering loss ratio.
You must know that the Germans produced 12,000 tanks of various models in the last year alone. But now they have nothing. (To be continued.) )
