Chapter 1271: White Eagle Country Changes

This batch of tanks is a big surprise. With them, the armor power in Colonel Scherner's hands will be greatly enhanced, especially the armor of the B1 heavy tank is very thick, enough to increase the strength of his armored forces by several levels.

Colonel Scherner soon learned from the radio that Guderian's Third Army had successfully walked out of the Arden forest and was advancing towards Amiens. He immediately telegraphed Guderian, claiming that he had occupied Furmi and requested them to come and meet.

When he heard that Colonel Scherner had conquered the other party's logistics base, Guderian was very happy and immediately led his main force to Furmi. Faced with the massive supply, the Teutonic soldiers were stunned. Guderian requisitioned all nearby cars to pull supplies, but a small amount of them could not be taken away. In desperation, in order not to leave these things for the Gaul army, Guderian could only burn the entire city.

After burning all Furmi, Guderian left only one company of guards and prisoners, and most of the troops turned to attack Amiens. Before the Gallic army could react, Amiens, a major northern town in the northern country of Gallic, changed hands, and the ten divisions of the Gallic army were completely cut off.

Faced with the front and rear attacks of the Teutonic army, these Gallic troops that were deeply involved in Belgium had to surrender. The Gallic army surrendered, and the northern border of Gallic was opened, and the Maginot defense line was useless. After receiving support from rear troops, Guderian continued to advance at an extremely fast speed. He attacked south along the coastline, aiming directly at Paris.

The Salgaul coalition, stationed in the Maginot line and sat in silence for a year without any action, is now moving towards the West in a hurry, hoping to get back to defense. However, the Teutonic army, fully armored and motorized, has progressed rapidly. The coalition has not crossed Troyes, and Guderian has only been in Paris for more than fifty kilometers.

In a hurry, the Gaul Army sent all its garrison troops to stop the Teutonic Army from advancing. This time, the Gaul Army sent a team with a large number of B1 heavy tanks, and the infantry of the first army was accompanied.

As soon as the tank troops on both sides contacted, the Teutonic army suffered a great loss. The number II and III tanks used in the army were difficult to penetrate the heavy armor of B1. Although the artillery of the Type B1 tank was only twenty millimeters, it could actually penetrate the Teutonic tank at close range. As a result, the battle situation between the two sides became one-sided, and the Teutonic army was unable to advance.

The morale of the Gallic Army was greatly boosted, and relying on dozens of B1 tanks to rush directly to the defense line that the Teutonic Army defended. In desperation, Guderian ordered the 88mm anti-aircraft gun to be used as anti-tank guns.

Facts have proved that Guderian's temporary measures were very effective. In front of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, the heavy armor that B1 was proud of was as fragile as paper. Soon the Teutonic tank troops also found a way to defeat the B1 tank. Although the Teutonic army's B1 heavy tank armor was heavy and even the wheels were wrapped, due to the engine's smoke exhaust, there was a ventilation grid on the left side of the vehicle body.

Although the B1 heavy tank was covered with all its body, it only needed a twenty-mm caliber shell to completely scrap it in this fatal weakness. After losing the protection of the heavy tank, the Gaul army retreated step by step and could no longer support the heavy responsibility of defending Paris.

Three days later, Guderian's troops entered the city of Paris. In order to inspire morale and suppress the will of the Gauls, Guderian held a grand entry ceremony in Paris. The 7th Division of the Teutonic Army was able to enter the city from the Arc de Triomphe where the Hualan Army participated in the war and the 48th Infantry Brigade of the White Eagle Kingdom.

The fall of Paris indicates that the situation of the Gaul Kingdom's war situation has taken a sharp turn. The Gaul government moved to Bordeaux again, and the army returning to defense has also begun to move to the south. However, this time, unlike the last world war, the Teutonic army's ability to operate is no longer the same as before.

With the massive attack of motorized troops, the defense lines of the Gauls were torn apart one by one, and they didn't even have time to redeploy one more. Under the Teutonic attack, the troops of the Gaul and Saar coalition were broken and broken. Many troops had to choose to surrender because they could not find superior officers and lacked ammunition and supplies. In just one week, the situation of the Gauls took a sharp turn for the worse, and it seemed that the destruction of the Allies was right in front of them.

"President, something big happened." Zhang Shenfu rushed into the office and waved a newspaper to Zhao Shouhong and said: "Xinhua Daily reprinted the news from the Berlin Evening News. Yesterday, the Teutonic army conquered Paris and the Gaul army was defeated."

Zhao Shouhong, who was writing quickly, put down the pen in his hand. He raised his head and asked, "Is there anything strange about this? Based on the number of troops on both sides, the quality of the soldiers and the weapons, this is a natural result."

"But that is the number one army in the Western Continent, and he was defeated like this?" Zhang Shenfu said in a daze.

Zhao Shouhong smiled slightly: "The reputation cannot be eaten as a food. The Gauls have been comfortable for too long, and they have forgotten how to fight."

"I'm right, but how should we interpret the situation this time? Please give me some advice." Chief of Staff Jiang Fangzhen pushed the door and sent almost a piece of information to the table.

Zhao Shouhong looked at Jiang Fangzhen and smiled and said, "Didn't we talk about letting the three major national alliances fight to the death, and we will reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

"But now that the Allies are about to be defeated, will the Axis powers withstand the attack of the Utopian Alliance?" Jiang Fangzhen said.

"This is a problem, so we have to start expanding our military equipment," Zhao Shouhong touched his chin and said, "I estimate that in at most two years, the Utopian Alliance will inevitably go to war with the Axis powers. At that time, we will naturally be deficient. However, if our strength is not strong enough, we do not have enough dominance. I suggest that the Army and the Air Force start the second round of military expansion, and at the same time, all military factories will be operated at full capacity to reserve weapons and ammunition for combat."

"Okay, I'll inform Lin Shuang now and ask them to issue an order in the name of the General Logistics Department." Jiang Fangzhen said: "But recently, there have been some abnormal movements in the Baiying Kingdom, so we have to be careful."

"Oh? What is the White Eagle Kingdom doing?" Zhao Shouhong frowned slightly. He is still worried about his mistakes at the time. He seemed to be a bit extra on his own. If he did not interfere with his development trajectory and made the White Eagle Kingdom a supporter behind the Allies, the situation might be much simpler.
