"What? Paris under attack? ”

When the German High Command learned that Paris was being attacked by an unknown coalition, almost everyone was stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's exactly what happened!"

Karl, Hitler's senior adviser, laughed out loud. It was not until this moment that he finally understood why the Chinese Empire was so keen to take in the surplus women in Germany and even in Europe and the United States because of the war.

"Using these white women to help the Chinese emperor give birth and raise a white army that is completely loyal to their empire, these damned Chinese Yankees, who started preparing for the next world war decades ago, are damned!"

"What's the use of talking about that now? The key is how to reinforce Paris as soon as possible and prevent the Chinese soldiers from seizing Paris! ”

The Chief of the German General Staff, General Kurt Zeitzler, did not bother to listen to Karl explain the origin of this white Chinese army, and he was very worried about the loss of Paris, which was the location of the French Zhengfu and the hub of the German supply lines in the upper and lower Normandy theater of operations. Once Paris is lost, the maintenance of French power will be overthrown, and it will be very difficult for Germany to control France. At the same time, the retreat of the German troops in upper and lower Normandy was cut off, and they would be in danger of being completely annihilated by the enemy.

But he did not realize the true combat intentions of the Chinese Emperor, and he did not see the great strategic value of the Paris airport.

"I have already called the commander of the Le Mans theater, and they have dispatched an armored division and three motorized brigades to rush to the aid of Paris, and they are expected to arrive at noon tomorrow!"

General Halder, who had just been removed from his post by Hitler, said calmly.

Coote asked, "Isn't that too few troops?" You must know that it was the strength of a whole airborne division that attacked Paris! ”

Halder snorted coldly and said, "If one of our armored divisions and three motorized brigades, plus the Paris garrison, can't defeat a mere airborne division of the Chinese Empire, then let's stop embarrassing the Imperial Army, just take off our military uniforms and go home to pick up our children!" ”

Karl then interjected: "I think we should have enough troops!" However, intelligence showed that the combat effectiveness of the airborne divisions of the Chinese Empire was very strong. Because their soldiers are all selected from all branches of the army. However, the weakness of the airborne division was the lack of heavy equipment and the predominance of light weapons. ”

Coote shook his head and said, "The airborne division of the Chinese Empire is an exception, and their powerful national defense force provides a complete heavy equipment system for their airborne division. ”

"Even if the Chinese Empire's defense forces were strong enough to equip their airborne divisions with all the heavy equipment needed for a full armored division, if they could meet the conditions for air transport and airdrops, their heavy equipment would have to be reduced in firepower and weight," Carr explained. Therefore, their heavy equipment is not to be feared. At the same time, they are fighting alone on our turf. Supplies are difficult, and we must eliminate them before they can get a second supply. ”

Kut's head and said, "That's right, we're in a race against time!" ”

Almost at the same time, the joint commander-in-chief, Admiral Cai Yi, and Lieutenant General Tan Changzhi, who was attacking Paris, were also repeating the phrase of racing against time.

The 101st Airborne Division did need secondary supplies, so Tan Changzhi placed his main attack on all the airfields around Paris. At the same time that the 101st Airborne Division seized the major airports in Paris, Cai Ye ordered the first batch of more than 800 heavy transport planes on standby at more than 20 airports in northeastern Britain to take off quickly.

Under the cover of a large number of escort planes of the United Nations Air Force, more than 800 heavy transport planes carried all the officers and men of the Seventh Armored Division of the Imperial Chinese Army, as well as the equipment and supplies of the entire division, and headed straight for the Paris airport.

The six hours before the 7th Panzer Division of the Imperial Chinese Army arrived safely at the Paris airport were the most critical moments on the eve of Operation Joint Typhoon. It is also the most critical step. Once the 7th Panzer Division landed safely, the 101st Airborne Division was united. Enough to hold Paris and nearby airports and gain a foothold in France, then the subsequent typhoon landfall operation would be twice as effective with half the effort. The German army, which was already suffering in terms of strength, had already spent too many troops in order to defend against the landing of the Allied forces on the coast of Europe, and naturally there was no more strength to rescue Paris.

At this moment, one of the greatest weaknesses of the Central Powers has come to the fore, and that is the crisis of the Allies' population weakness and the beginning of the depletion of military resources.

Southern suburbs of Paris. The walls on the banks of the Seine were under heavy artillery fire.

Built during the Augustan period, this wall has always kept Paris safe. In order to resist the German attack, the French side deliberately strengthened the fortifications of the city during World War I. Today, however, this fortification has become the most important defensive position of the German army against the periphery of the Chinese Emperor to regain Paris.

At this time. All the officers and men of the 101st Airborne Division, which attacked the city wall of Paris, had already torn off the German camouflage uniform, changed into the Qinglong Yaori military uniform of their own country, armed with M16 assault rifles, and launched a fierce attack on the German troops defending the city under the cover of assault vehicles and self-propelled guns.

The German defenders were very stubborn, but the powerful firepower offensive of the Chinese Emperor caused huge casualties to the German army.

The Edinburgh position in the south of Paris was a place of fierce exchange of fire between the Chinese and German armies.

The Germans deployed an infantry battalion here, about five hundred Germans. The main armament is 5 heavy machine guns, 20 light machine guns, 1 120 mm mortar, 3 81 mm mortars, 2 150 mm infantry guns, 3 75 mm infantry guns, 1 75 mm anti-tank gun, 2 anti-tank rifles, and the main individual weapon is the Mauser rifle.

This configuration of equipment seems to be very powerful, and the German army once used this weapon configuration to sweep across the European continent at the beginning of World War II, defeating the former Allied powers.

However, at this moment, the German troops who were unmanned in a project suddenly found that they had the strength of an armored company of the Chinese Emperor in front of them, but the firepower was more than 5 times that of the German infantry battalion, and the German army was almost out of breath.

Compared to the German infantry battalion guarding the Attenburg position, the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the Chinese Emperor was responsible for the attack, but it had 16 combat vehicles. Including 6 M28A3 Cheetah main battle tanks, 4 M35 Hound assault tanks, 4 W30 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, 2 Z29 anti-tank self-propelled artillery fighting vehicles, individual weapons are also M16 assault rifles, M10 submachine guns and other light and high-firepower output weapons, with a scale of less than 90 people, more than 500 German troops were beaten in a mess, which made the German army quite depressed.

Edborough was an important position on the southern wall of Paris, and the Germans refused to take a step back despite paying a huge price in human casualties. Hold on to the position.

The German anti-tank troops relied on the fortifications of the city wall to launch an anti-tank sniper war against the Chinese emperor. At first, it seemed difficult for German anti-tank weapons to destroy the Cheetah fighting vehicles of the Chinese Emperor, but soon the Germans turned their targets to the thinly armored M35 Hound light assault fighting vehicles and the W30 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.

A Hound chariot was paralyzed after an attack, and the Germans seemed to be in high spirits. Because of the battle so far, the German army has suffered more than 100 casualties, but the Chinese emperor on the opposite side has not suffered any casualties, which makes the German army quite angry and depressed.

But the next moment they found the members of the destroyed chariot and were killed. When two lightly wounded Chinese Emperor soldiers dragged another seriously wounded soldier and tried to evacuate, they immediately became furious and immediately concentrated their firepower, hoping to kill him to save face for the Germans.

At this time, a W30 infantry tank of the second company quickly drove over, and the two parallel M2 heavy machine guns on it opened fire fiercely, and at the same time, two Z29 self-propelled artillery fighting vehicles also quickly smashed artillery fire on the opposite German position, suppressing the German fire. Another field ambulance arrived just in time, and several ambulancemen on it skillfully jumped out of the car to bring the three wounded into the ambulance, and managed to escape before the German mortar shells could fly.

In the eyes of the Germans were low. The Chinese Emperor's field ambulance succeeded in rescuing the wounded, and the joy that the Germans had just gained was suddenly gone.

The other side continues to have zero casualties. How could the Germans endure this?

"Concentrate all the artillery fire and knock out those two artillery carriages!"

The German commander, as if he was going crazy, ordered all mortars to attack two self-propelled artillery fighting vehicles of the second company. As everyone knows, these two self-propelled artillery combat vehicles are faster than rabbits, and they have already changed positions at this moment, so that the German artillery fire cannot be covered.

The advantages of mobile units are just that. Only by constantly engaging in movement warfare can you not be killed by the enemy.

Two companies of ninety people. Although it failed to capture the 500-man defensive position of Fort Edeburg, it consumed the enemy's vital forces in the non-stop movement war.

The battle lasted for an hour or so, and the German army in Edgburg was less than two hundred men left. With the serious decline in the attrition of German troops. The firepower advantage of the second company is even more obvious. The combat radius of the tanks and infantry tanks of the second company was getting closer and closer to the German positions, and the casualties caused by the powerful firepower to the Germans increased sharply.

Finally, before 3 p.m., the artillery fire of the 2nd Company collapsed a section of the wall on the right side of Attenborough, and then the 2nd Company's chariot group rushed up the wall, drove the German corpses over the wall, and was the first to break through the outer defense line of Paris.

The commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division decisively ordered the whole regiment to break through the opening torn by the 2nd Company, and then make a detour to the east and west, attacking the Germans from the flank.

Soon, under the attack of the three regiments, the German troops on the southern outskirts of Paris were attacked by the enemy, and after paying more than 1,000 casualties, the Germans were forced to retreat and abandon the southern suburbs of Paris.

By this time, the 101st Airborne Division had completely occupied the nine major airfields to the south, east and southwest, and the Seventh Armored Division of the Imperial Chinese Army had already begun to carry out airborne operations at the airfields.

With the safe landing of the Seventh Armored Division, Lieutenant General Tan Changzhi was also confident. At this time, the Germans completely neglected to guard the airfield on the outskirts of the city and withdrew to the city of Paris. There are no German reinforcements within a radius of 200 kilometers, and the fastest will have to arrive tomorrow, so Tan Changzhi has no worries at all, so he boldly decided not to defend the airport, and use all his forces to attack Paris, and strive to be the first to attack Paris before the Seventh Armored Division completes its assembly, and occupy and maintain the French presidential palace.

Obviously, Tan Changzhi is sincere in his contribution at this moment. However, it was precisely because of his hasty decision that General Dietrich, who had just taken over as commander of the Paris garrison, could not defend Paris in time, and even had no time to blow up the whole of Paris.

While the battle in Paris was going on, Hitler made the grave mistake of appointing Dietrich on an interim basis. Feng? General Scholtitz replaced General Spero, who had been captured by the Chinese Emperor, as commander of the garrison of Paris.

General Dietrich landed on a civilian aircraft at a long-abandoned field airfield on the northern outskirts of Paris, just as he was retreating into the city just as the German and French forces on the periphery retreated into the city, followed by the armoured chariot groups of the Emperor of China. Dietrich saw along the way that the defense of Paris and the combat effectiveness of the German army were no match for the Chinese emperor, so he was terrified. There was a vacillation over whether or not to carry out Hitler's secret orders.

When the German High Seas Fleet was defeated and the Allies lost their sea supremacy, there was already a chill within the Allied bloc. At this moment, only Hitler still saw a chance to turn defeat into victory, and he concentrated all his efforts on nuclear weapons and missiles.

In order to stall for time, Hitler was in the underground headquarters of Rastenburg in East Prussia in present-day Poland. Summoned Dietrich from the battlefields of the Western Front? Feng? General Scholtitz. Hitler announced his appointment as commander of the garrison of the German city of Greater Paris. Hitler angrily stressed that Paris was under a combined attack and that it "must be completely destroyed" before it could be lost. At the time of the departure of the Wehrmacht, nothing can be left behind, neither churches nor art museums. He added that even the water supply had to be cut off if necessary, allowing the city to become plagued after it was destroyed. Finally, he stressed that Berlin would send "all possible reinforcements" to France. And reminded Scholtitz "never to lament the destruction of Paris."

"Iron General" Scholtitz enlisted in the army in 1914, has been through a hundred battles, and his superiors commented on him that "no order was questioned, no matter how cruel it was". However, the task he received to destroy Paris, one of the greatest cities in the world, if necessary, caused him to hesitate between his military duty and his moral conscience. This meeting with Hitler made him soberly aware that the man to whom he had been loyal had lost his mind and that he himself was going to carry out a crazy order. But a recent Hitler order also terrified him. This new purge order calls for the relatives of all front-line officers and soldiers to be taken hostage. Once someone surrenders, flees or "treasons". Their relatives will be put to immediate death.

Although still hesitant, Scholtitz arrived. Preparations for the bombing of Paris began, still by virtue of his "military duty": the 831st Engineer Company of the SS piled up ** on dozens of bridges over the Foreign Office, the Louvre, the Parliament Chamber, the telegraph and telephone office, the radio station, the airfield and dozens of bridges over the Seine. Subsequently, the large tunnel that ran under the city of Paris was also filled with torpedoes from U-boats. The lives of hundreds of thousands of Parisians, centuries of urban architecture, art and art, and treasures are at stake.

Outside the city was the fierce artillery of the Chinese Emperor, but the French inside the city were watching the German army deploy everywhere. The high-ranking officials of Vichy France held an urgent meeting to discuss the current situation. At this moment, most of the senior French officials believed that the Allies had lost their sleeves, and that a coalition with the Chinese Empire would be unstoppable to defeat the Allies. Now there is the Chinese Emperor outside the city, and it is clear that the Germans will not be able to hold Paris. Otherwise they wouldn't have been so ruthless as to blow up Paris.

In order to keep Paris, Vichy France had to make a tough statement against Dietrich and asked him not to blow up Paris.

But. Dietrich believed that Vichy France was not strong enough for him to disobey Hitler's orders and continue to go his own way.

At this moment, Dietrich learned that a large number of heavy transport planes of the Imperial Chinese Air Force had landed at the major airports in Paris, and that the ace main division of the Imperial Chinese Army had assembled outside the city. This forced Dietrich to think about his future, after all, he didn't want to be a historical sinner like blowing up Paris. It's just that Dietrich needed a better excuse to prevaricate Hitler.

Finally, Dietrich waited for the excuse he needed.

As the 3rd Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division took the lead in attacking the city of Paris, the chariot group of the 101st Airborne Division galloped on the streets of Paris, and the German army could not resist at all, even if it was too late to prepare for street fighting, because the French citizens learned that the German army was going to blow up Paris, and they all fell to the United Army, did not cooperate with the German army at all, and even attacked the German army.

At the same time, Vichy France Zhengfu also knew that there was no escape, so for the sake of the future, this group of politicians shamelessly betrayed Hitler, announced that the French team would no longer accept the leadership of the German army, France Zhengfu broke away from the Allies and joined the United Nations, and the French troops stationed in Paris began to attack the German army.

As soon as this announcement came out, Dietrich finally had an excuse not to bomb Paris, and immediately called back to Hitler that Vichy France had rebelled, and everything he had prepared had been ruined by the shameless French.

Then Dietrich smashed the radio and took the initiative to surrender to Lieutenant General Tan Changzhi, commander of the 101st Airborne Division, who entered the city.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Dietrich, escorted by more than 20 Chinese imperial soldiers, came to the city of Paris Zhengfu and signed the instrument of surrender on behalf of the German troops in Paris in front of Lieutenant General Tan Changzhi, commander of the 101st Airborne Division.

When Dietrich signed, Paris was declared to have been restored, and it was restored by the Emperor of China.

Annoyed when Hitler heard that Dietrich had not carried out his orders, he was tried in absentia and sentenced to death for "treason." However, Dietrich's family, with the help of friends, escaped persecution by Hitler's purge.

At the same time, the liberation of Paris, the 7th Armored Division of the Imperial Chinese Army was stationed in Paris, and the joint Typhoon landing operation officially began.
