"We've been tricked!" an old French general sighed as he looked at the map: "I just got news from the front that many sections of the German Siegfried Line are fake! ”

Another veteran general took a sip of coffee, and said with a moot on his lips: "Now that the troops under the command of De Gaulle have entered the territory of Germany, and there are still flanks behind him, we have deployed ten divisions of troops. ”

He put down his coffee cup and pointed to a red line on the map inside Germany: "If the Siegfried Line is fake, then what will the Germans do to stop our attack?"

......

"So what do we use to stop the French attack?" said Rundstedt, standing on the hillside, smiling at his men, "I'm sure the French are asking the same question? Ten years ago, I didn't know how to answer...... But for now, I believe we can win if we stick to one thing. ”

His lieutenant stood behind him and looked into the distance: "Hold on to what?"

"Believe the Führer!" replied Rundstedt with a smile: "Because God has not lost since the Führer led Germany!"

A No. 3 tank sped past him, bringing up a breeze that blew his overcoat. This was followed by another No. 3 tank, followed by another No. 3 assault gun.

"Soon the French will know that we are ready for a qiē. Rundstedt watched as hundreds of tanks were moving along the road below the valley, more soldiers crossing the hills, cars pulling cannons one after another, and countless German soldiers singing songs.

Above the sky, an FW-190D fighter rushed down the clouds, followed by a second, a third...... Soon it was the hundredth, the one hundred and onest. These fighters were formed in a formation, densely stacked at different heights, and had begun to have a taste of covering the sky and the sun.

In a parked car next to Rundstedt, the radio was playing the speech of the German Führer this morning: "At a time when the German people were trying to protect Europe from the encroachment of the Comintern, when we were trying to save the Polish people from the Soviet Union, France, which considered itself the leader of Europe, went to war against us Germany......"

"We are fighting bloody battles for the people of the whole of Europe, but they have stabbed us in the back with a despicable and vicious knife! What kind of behavior is this? This is betrayal! This is betrayal! We have not counted on their help in the face of the Comintern, but they are pulling us back! This is irresponsible to the people of the whole of Europe!"

"They think they can win! They think they can defeat us! But the good German people! Will we let others slaughter us? No! We are ready, even if we only have armor and swords, we dare to challenge our opponents! We dare to shed our blood for our land!"

"The war in Poland has proved that we are invincible! The damned French should be glad that we did not stick a bayonet in their chests! yet they dare to challenge our sacred territory! This is a criminal provocation to the whole German nation! This is a blasphemy against the peace to which we yearn!"

"Soldiers, take up your weapons! Prove to the whole world that we are the only emperors of war! We are not afraid of the enemy or war! On the contrary, we are eager to prove our loyalty to the people of the motherland in blood and fire! We are eager to repay the trust and love of the people of our homeland for us with victory!"

"Disembowel our invaders, rip out their intestines and hang them! Go! Let them taste the power of our tanks! Let them see the power of our fighters! Let them know the determination of the German people!"

"Loyal to the great warriors of the Empire! Go! Loyal to my great soldiers! Bring back victory for me and for the nation......"

Above the sky, the pilot of a fighter plane ordered loudly: "The ground radar station has discovered that the French Air Force has invaded the fighter fleet, and we rushed over to tell them whose sky is here...... All fighters climbed! began to carry out! Expelled a single intruder. ”

"All fighters climb!" came the orders of the various commanders in the headset: "12th squadron, you take cover above the clouds...... The entire 9th Brigade is responsible for the frontal main attack...... 6th squadron, don't get involved, pay attention to the French bombers, they are handed over to you. ”

The roar of the engines became even louder, and all the planes began to accelerate, one after the other burrowing into the white clouds, like mischievous birds, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared into the clouds.

"General!" Lundstedt's adjutant took a telegram, and then immediately reported: "A telegram from Air Force Commander Catherine to you, they have begun to counterattack the French Air Force, and it is expected to seize air supremacy in the vicinity within a day. ”

Soon, another officer walked up the hillside: "Report, the artillery positions are being transferred after the French shelling, the enemy's tank units are attacking our lines, our troops have suffered heavy losses and barely stopped the attack of the French troops, General Manstein called to ask when his troops could go into battle and attack the enemy flank. ”

"The general offensive began in four hours, and it could only begin after air supremacy and enemy situation had been ensured. We have to let go of the French army and prevent the French from jumping over the wall and starting a real all-out war. Rundstedt thought for a moment and said: "The Führer expects that we will have a few more months before the mobilization deployment is completed, so we must buy this time for the Führer." ”

"Now I order!Counterattack begins!" Rundstedt looked at his watch and announced loudly, "All troops!

"Boom!" "Boom!" On the artillery position, the 150-millimeter field guns that had been prepared for a long time spewed dazzling fire, and the German artillerymen, who had already measured the shooting of Zhuyuan, began their show, and in the course of one exercise after another, they had long been firmly imprinted in their minds the method of covering the land.

"Fire!" At the sound of the order, the Frederick Rocket Artillery Regiment directly under the army group set up here let out its own roar. The sound of "whoosh!whoosh!" was echoed, and the entire artillery position was drowned in smoke and dust from the jets of rockets, and everyone watched as the slightly narrow black dots flew into the distance with a cloud of white smoke, where the rockets were waiting for the French troops, who had not yet fully deployed.

In the sky, at the same time, the commander of the German aircraft gave the same order: "Enemy aircraft found!

"Boom!" The German fighters formed a battle formation, like eagles that had discovered their prey, flew sideways downwards and threw themselves into the queue of attacking low-altitude French planes. The planes quickly burst out of the clouds and spotted the French Air Force, which was already pulling up and preparing for the battle.

The German planes had the advantage of position, potential energy and their own power, and the French air force was forced to meet the battle, because they had to protect their bomber group and could not fly as high as the German pilots.

"Fire, fire, fire, aim at enemy planes, fire!" The headset kept shouting from his comrades, and Heinz Barr was driving his own FW-190D fighter jet and was diving to kill a French MS. The 406 fighter, he held the nose of the non-firing fighter and aimed his crosshair at the hapless Frenchman.

Soon, Barr pulled the trigger, the 20mm cannon sprayed tongues of fire, and more than a dozen shells accurately hit the opposite French fighter, which exploded and disintegrated in the air, while Barr calmly pulled up his fighter and began to look for the next target.

Although the maximum speed of the French fighters was faster than that of the Polish and Soviet planes, they were still unable to catch up with the German FW-190 fighters with speeds of more than 700 kilometers per hour, which turned the air battle into a one-sided Luftwaffe unilateral slaughter. Within an hour, only 14 Luftwaffe pilots were shot down, six of whom were later rescued, but the French Air Force lost a full 101 excellent air pilots.

However, the most unfortunate of the day's air battles were not the French fighter pilots, but their bomber units. The German 6th Squadron was an interceptor unit that had just been issued with new air force weapons, and each of its FW-190D fighters had 10 65 mm anti-aircraft rockets hanging under the wings.

They roared down the air, rushed to the French bomber formation, and then shot out the rockets under the wings in one fell swoop from a relatively safe distance. This is a tactic invented by the Führer himself to intercept the enemy's massive bomber formation, which is called a "saturation attack." A few dozen planes can drop hundreds of rockets in one direction in one go, which is enough to inflict heavy losses on a bomber formation.

Soon disaster befell the French bomber formation, the plane hit by the rocket exploded in the air, and the pilot was charred by the fire before he could parachute. Many planes collided with each other because of dodging rockets, and more planes dropped bombs and ran away in the chaos, but they did not know that many bombs were dropped on the heads of the advancing French army.

Everyone knew that when faced with hordes of fighters, bombers could only reduce their losses by maintaining their own formation, but now that the formation was disrupted by the Luftwaffe in the first place, the rest of the matter became very simple: German pilots drove 30 mm and 20 mm cannon shells into the wings of French planes, causing these big guys to drag black smoke to the ground.

Even the French themselves did not believe that their well-planned offensive had lost air supremacy over Germany less than three hours after the start of the war.
