At this moment, Charles de Gaulle, who was temporarily excavated from the hill closest to the German border, was looking at siegfried line, Germany, with a telescope.
You can see the exposed concrete walls of the German bunker in the bushes; Some dangerous positions are covered with machine gun shooting holes. Although these shooting holes are covered with weeds, you can still see the dark machine gun barrel inside.
But somehow, he always has a bad feeling in his heart. This feeling of being cheated is like a shadow. He looks at his adjutant and staff through a telescope. "Although the German defense line is clever, it has many defects."
He pointed to the opposite hill. "They prefer to deploy machine gun bunkers and artillery bunkers, but they don’t want to bury anti-tank obstacles and barbed wire in the front. This is a very strange thing."
"General de Gaulle, the Germans have always been short of resources such as steel. They are unwilling to wave precious steel to build barbed wire and tank obstacles. This is the analysis result of the intelligence department." The staff officer replied with a smile.
"We also lack steel." De Gaulle glanced at his staff and obviously dismissed this statement. "The anti-tank obstacles in non-key areas of maginot line are made of wood, which also has good results. Why are Germans so suitable for tank attack areas without simple anti-tank obstacles?"
"general! It’s possible that they left their tanks for attack. "Aide de Gaulle thought for a moment and said," There is intelligence that the Germans have laid a lot of mines in other areas. Maybe the Germans prefer mines to defend the tanks? "
"Has anyone seen a large number of mines laid by the German team?" De Gaulle raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have guessed something, but he couldn’t think of anything after careful thinking.
"No … but scouts have seen many warning signs in minefields." The adjutant replied with a frown. "Maybe the Germans buried them at night …"
"It’s too late to say anything now, so we can fight again and look at changing the battle plan." Charles de Gaulle said with a sigh, "Victory made us forget that the Germans across the war scar were preparing for war, while our officers were thinking about taking a vacation. I formed an armored force on the second line and didn’t come to the front for half a year, and you didn’t even detect the other line clearly."
……
On the opposite side of the German position, two fat wild mice are mating on the surface of a German cannon. Several poles are painted black and buried in the soil to reveal a round shape, which acts as an important defense fort in Germany.
The fact that the exposed reinforced concrete workers are not far away is just a small concrete pimple exposed. Those machine gun shooting holes are simply dug out of caves-most of them are inhabited by rats.
And those barrels are really damaged mop sticks, scrapped bicycle keels, or just a broken flute. Those so-called minefields are just a sign-several mines are buried inside.
The whole of siegfried line is a shocking scam. When this scam is carefully arranged, all the voices questioning this flawed scam will lose their effectiveness. If a country mobilizes a scam, then this scam, no matter how false, will have certain real effects.
The French once got a warning from the Communist International that siegfried line did not recruit a large number of civilians to build this huge loophole, which was actually justified by the French themselves. They believed that the Germans secretly recruited prisoners in the middle camp and persecuted political opponents to work.
A French businessman once saw Germany set up a false position and reported to his motherland. He saw everything but was arrested by the French as a spy on the grounds that he tried to help the Germans spread false news.
Even when the Fuehrer talked about siegfried line in public, the word "vulnerable" was regarded as a genuine modest word. After evaluating his maginot line, the French government explained that the Fuehrer gave siegfried line the word "vulnerable" that could prevent the French attack for less than half a year.
However, if anyone thinks that the German army is preparing for the war on the western front, it is a big mistake. After the Polish campaign, about half of the Eastern Army troops have moved to the airport on the western front, so the number and quality of German troops have an absolute advantage.
At dawn on September 3rd, the German army had 197 fighter jets at the western front airport, which was more than three times that of the French fighter jets this time, and 90% of these fighters were advanced fw19d fighters, which were much more advanced than those of the French.
Similarly, the German army has also prepared a large number of bomber units, which play an important role in the top-secret western defense plan "Preparatory Plan". These bombers will paralyze the French ground forces to attack the supply line and fight back when the ground forces in the border areas fight back.
At the same time, the German ground forces on the western front are also in full swing. General rundstedt probably has a total of five and six non-main armored forces. These troops are equipped with weapons and equipment such as the old but not outdated No.3 assault gun and No.2 tank, and have a large number of anti-tank guns, iron fists and rocket launchers. It can be said that they are ready to fight against the French attack alone, not to mention that several world-famous tank troops are coming by train reserves hundreds of kilometers behind them.
These forces are now well-known, including Rommel’s Seventh Panzer Corps and the Second Panzer Corps under the command of General Baukenf. guderian’s First Panzer Corps is in Poland, and will also settle in the west after half a month’s rest. These forces are now synonymous with victory. They have won the victory in Poland in just 16 days.
Moreover, Germany is now mobilizing its own reserve personnel, and the head of state has ordered the civil affairs and the military to complete the expansion of the army by 30 thousand in 1993 and the total number of generals by 1939 to 450 thousand
……
"Fire!" On September 3, the fire flew to their pre-selected targets with a deafening roar of French artillery shells, which sifted the so-called defense lines on the German border.
Heavy-duty railway guns fired deadly shells, and then it took a long process to clean the barrels. However, those field guns of various calibers could not stop roaring shells. As if they were free of money, the German siegfried line exploded and turned up the soil with gravel, and the earth trembled.
"This is observation post number two! The Germans didn’t fight back! " A French artillery observer reported to the walkie-talkie
Soldiers in another observation post at the other end are also saying the same thing: "Report that the Germans didn’t fight back."
Hundreds of French fighters appeared in the clouds. They came to control the battlefield system, and they also had dozens of French bombers with bombs. They wanted to throw these bombs at German positions to help French artillery completely destroy siegfried line.
Before the artillery fire was over, the French infantry charged with their rifles. They carefully groped their way forward where there were warning signs of minefields. From time to time, people were killed by mines, but most of the soldiers came to the front of the German position safely. They shouted slogans and waited for the German troops to shoot at them, only to find that the whole position could not find a way to fight back the Germans except to keep exploding their own guns.
"Cease fire! Our soldiers are attacking! Cease fire! " An observation post officer shouted on the walkie-talkie that after more than ten minutes, the French artillery fire finally stopped, and the whole German siegfried line returned to pre-war peace. There was almost no change here except the black smoke crater.
"This … is not an exercise?" A French battalion commander supported his helmet and looked at the enemy machine gun shooting holes not far away. He pointed to the bunkers that should be harvesting their lives with fire. "Go and see! Are the Germans scared to death? "
Of course, the Germans will not be scared to death. A group of infantry climbed behind those bunkers only to find that these bunkers and forts were not designed with the most important local gate. When these soldiers brought back some mops and rusty iron pipes, these infantry who were ordered to attack France knew that they were cheated.
"Let the tanks come quickly! We were play by those damn Germans! " Charles de Gaulle clenched his teeth in anger and roared, "Cross the German border and search and attack for ten kilometers!"
Chapter 27 27 Western Front War
"We were played!" An old French general looked at the map and sighed, "I just got news from the front that many places in German siegfried line are fake! How much of the entire defense line is true needs to be re-judged. "
Another old general took a sip of coffee and said, "Now Charles de Gaulle has commanded two divisions to enter Germany, and we have deployed ten divisions after his wings and flanks."
He put his coffee cup and pointed to a red line on the map of Germany. "If siegfried line is fake, what will the Germans do to stop us from attacking?"
……
"So what can we do to stop the French from attacking?" Rundstedt hillside smiled at his hands "believe that the French also ask the same question? Ten years ago, I didn’t know what to answer … but now I believe that we can win if we insist on one thing. "
His adjutant looked behind him into the distance. "What do you insist on?"
"Trust the Fuehrer!" Rundstedt smiled and replied, "We haven’t lost since Indy let the Fuehrer lead Germany!"
A No.3 tank sped past him, bringing up a breeze and blowing up his coat, followed by another No.3 tank, followed by one assault gun after another.
"Soon the French will know that we have prepared everything." rundstedt watched hundreds of tanks moving along the road in the valley. More soldiers crossed the hills, cars pulled cannons, and German soldiers sang songs one after another.
In the morning, a fw19d fighter plane rushed into the clouds, followed by the second and the third … It will soon be the hundredth and the hundredth. Four of these fighters are in a formation with different heights, and they are densely packed together, which already has a taste of covering the sun.
