Chapter 516: Capture of Lyon

"Buzz!" With the roar of the motors, a group of planes flew over Lyon. Immediately after that, a series of bombs fell from the belly of the plane and fell on the French positions on the ground, and in a series of explosions, the French positions were plunged into a sea of fire.

At the same time, the artillery on the ground rumbled, and hundreds of heavy artillery pieces of the Western Expeditionary Army continued to bombard the French positions, hitting the French positions one after another, causing a series of explosions.

"Good~! Attaboy. With a telescope in one hand, he looked at the French positions shrouded in artillery fire, and shouted excitedly.

"With such fierce artillery fire, I believe these French can't hold out for long!" The chief of staff next to him also looked excited.

"Hehe~! These Frenchmen are a bunch of cowards, and since the fall of Napoleon, these Frenchmen have not been as good as the next. Now in the face of the attack of our mighty Chinese Empire, the end of these French has arrived! Gerin laughed and said.

"Hmm~! Judging by the current situation, in a month at most, we will be able to defeat France once and for all. The once invincible French Empire was trampled under the feet of our Chinese Empire like this, which is exciting to think about! The chief of staff said with a smile.

"Not only France, but in the near future, England, which is known as the empire on which the sun never sets, will also be trampled under our feet, not only them, but the whole world will be trampled under our feet." Ge Lin said with great ambition.

"Not bad! The whole world will be trampled under the feet of our Chinese Empire, and every time I think that we are about to witness such a history, I can't help but feel excited in my heart! The chief of staff couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, let's not sigh here, it's time for the artillery preparation to end, immediately notify the troops, and prepare for the attack." Ge Lin casually threw the binoculars in his hand to the guard next to him and said loudly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the rumbling cannon to finally stop, and the loud horn of the charge sounded.

"Boom!" Loud noises. One by one, the tanks crossed the trenches and rushed towards the French positions with full horsepower. Behind the tanks were thousands of valiant Chinese soldiers, who rushed towards the French positions with loud shouts.

The fierce battle lasted only one day, and the French troops stationed in Lyon were forced to surrender to the Western Expeditionary Army under the fierce attack of the Western Expeditionary Army. Because on the northern front, the German-Austrian forces pinned down most of the main forces of the French army, so that the French army could use it to defend against the attack of the Chinese army was really limited. Moreover, the French did not expect that the hundreds of thousands of French troops on the Franco-Italian border and the fortress of Marseille would be defeated so quickly and completely, so the French army did not have time to mobilize enough troops from all over the country to support Lyon. How could the 200,000 French troops urgently dispatched to withstand the onslaught of more than one million Western Expeditionary Army, so in just one day of fighting, the French army lost nearly half of its position, and all the outer positions were declared lost, and the French troops trapped in the city completely lost the courage to continue fighting, so they could only obediently raise their hands and surrender to the Western Expeditionary Army.

Lyon, a large city in southeastern France, the capital of the Rhône-Alpes region and the capital of the Rhône department. The second largest metropolitan area in France, it is often referred to as the "provincial capital". An important industrial city in France. It is a city of culture and art, and it has flourished since Roman times, certainly in the current era. As one of the most important industrial cities in France, it is still very prosperous, and Lyon is located at the confluence of the two rivers in France, the Saône and the Rhône, affectionately known as Monsieur Rhône and Madame de Thorne. Lyon is said to have taken his name from a man named Long and a child born to a woman named Thorne. But such a prosperous city with beautiful legends was easily and completely taken over by the Chinese army.

Ge Lin and his own chief of staff. Riding an armored car, he slowly drove into the city of Lyon, and saw thousands of French soldiers on the street, lined up neatly. Walking towards the outside of the city under the supervision of the Huaxia soldiers, Ge Lin glanced at his lips with disdain and said, "These French are really a bunch of cowards, and they surrendered when the battle just began!" I think when we fought Japan, those little devils were not so easy to deal with, and they were all willing to die unyieldingly! ”

"Hehe~! There are still some differences between the cultures of the East and the West, and these Frenchmen who are known for their romance are not those little devils! The chief of staff next to him said with a smile. However, after finishing speaking, the chief of staff regretted it, and said with a serious face, "It is said that now Japan is a vassal country of our Chinese Empire, and for this war, Japan has organized two million servant troops to participate in the war, and organized more than three million laborers to assist our army in fighting. It can be said that Japan is still very loyal to our Chinese Empire, and His Majesty has also said that Japan has become a vassal country of our Chinese Empire, so it is no longer our enemy, and we should give our allies a certain amount of respect! ”

"You're right, we should give them some respect, but as our subjects, they are not our allies!" Ge Lin said with a smile.

"That's true, but Germany and Austria can be called our allies, and I wonder how our allies are doing?" The chief of staff shook his head and said.

"Humph! To call them our allies is to exalt them. The French army is so combative, those Germans have fought for three years without any substantial progress, it seems that these Germans are nothing more than that! Ge Lin said with a disdainful face.

"But the Germans are not bad, with the strength of one country to resist the two great powers of Britain, the United States and France, fought for so long, although they did not defeat France, but Britain and France did not take advantage of anything, and from the loss of previous battles, the losses of the British and French forces were much higher than the German army. However, after all, Germany is only a small country, with limited resources and a small population, so the number of troops it can provide is naturally limited. If Germany had a vast territory and a large population, the country would be terrible. The chief of staff said with a stern expression on his face.

"Hehe~! Unfortunately, your assumptions are not valid. Ge Lin said with a smile on his face.

The chief of staff smiled, did not continue to dwell on this issue, and said with a smile, "This Frenchman is known for his romance, and you can learn from these Frenchmen at this point." ”

"What to study?" Ge Lin asked with a puzzled expression.

"Of course, it's learning how to pick up girls! Marry that Xiaoling home as soon as possible! The chief of staff said with a laugh. (To be continued......)
