Chapter 348 France Don't Cry Part 6

"Major, the leader is right, we are all blonde superman!" Lieutenant Rudolf Witzhe said to Major Cork, who was running with him in a teasing tone.

"Why do you say that?" asked Major Cork.

"We braved the rain-like artillery fire and landed on the roof of a heavily guarded fortress. We exploded dozens of targets in 60 minutes, and then we had to fight dozens of them. If we fought, we would never finish it..."

"And we have not been beaten to death yet!" Major Cork added.

"A few people died!" When Lieutenant Rudolf Witzsch spoke, he and Major Cork had already run to a hemispherical armored turret.

This is an armored turret with a large caliber cannon installed. The bomb that destroyed the cannon in the morning did not blow up the shell of the turret. As a result, a commando had to climb onto the top of the turret and stuff the bomb into the barrel.

During this process, several other commandos had to exchange fire with dozens of Belgian soldiers. In the end, they not only destroyed the cannons, but also killed more than a dozen Belgians, but they did not suffer any casualties. This was simply a thunderous plot that was only found in a magical drama in later generations. However, on April 10, it was staged everywhere.

The huge cannon turret, whose bombardment has now become a stronghold of the commando, the iron gate of the armored turret was pried open, and the players guarding here would crawl in and hide when the Belgians were shelling. When the shelling was over, these supermen who had their kids would come out to continue to kill.

Opposite the turret is a spiral staircase, where the Belgian soldiers stationed in the fortress will launch a counterattack from here. However, every counterattack will be repelled, and the bodies pile up more and more at the exit of the staircase, and several of them become a small hill.

However, the Belgians were unwilling to give up. There were more than a thousand people under the roof of the fortress, and the nearby Belgian garrison sent more than a thousand people. Nearly 3,000 Belgian troops were now suppressed by just 100 German Superman (nearly 101 people came down on the H-ski plane, 8 people fell off the skydiving, and later a few were injured and killed, and now 100 people could fight). Naturally, they were unwilling to give up, so they launched wave after wave of counterattacks.

When Major Cork and Lieutenant Rudolph Witzsch were leading people over, a round of artillery attacks by the Belgians (which were launched by the garrison near the fortress with mortars) had just ended, and the Belgian shouts had already come from below the stairs.

"It's just right!" Major Cork breathed, and Lieutenant Rudolph Witzhe and Lieutenant Rudolph Witzhe were playing the role of a firefighting team, running back and forth at several strongholds that could block the stairs. They would go to reinforce wherever they were tight

"Hehehehe..."

A harsh scream reached the ears of the armored Meyer. He knew that this was the Ju87 Stuka dive bomber attacking the Belgian army artillery position 1,000 meters away from the west bank of the Fronhofen Bridge. Four 75mm guns were deployed there, and there was a solid artillery bunker. With the support of these four cannons, the Belgians attacked the German commando occupying the west bank of the Longhofen Bridge and the defensive position, but they were knocked back again and again, and dozens of people and several machine guns were "cheating". A brigade of Belgians had no way to deal with them!

Moreover, the German commando also knew "summoning" and summoned a squadron of Stuka, and repeatedly bombed the bomb. When the armored Meyer's assault gun company broke through the blockade of a Belgian infantry regiment (also opening the car) rushed across the bridge to reinforce, two of the four cannons had been blown apart, but the remaining two were still firing.

An airborne lieutenant rushed to the front of Meyer's assault gun and shouted loudly: "I am Lieutenant Ghashacht, the commander here!"

Armored Meyer also shouted at him: "I am Captain Kurt Meyer, the company commander of the 16th Assault Arsault Company of the 'Adolf Hitler' Guard Flag Team. He was ordered to come and take over the defense. Lieutenant, your mission has been completed, and it's time to see us now!"

"No," Lieutenant Ghaschacht waved his hand vigorously, "We can't leave yet! Air Force reconnaissance found that a large number of Belgian troops were driving towards us, and there would be fierce fighting soon, so we must stay."

"Okay!" Armored Meyer nodded, "Lieutenant, how are your casualties?"

"Three people were killed and 18 were injured, and three of them were seriously injured!" Second Lieutenant Ghaschacht replied.

96 commandos plus 22 h-sky pilots captured a bridge guarded by a Belgian infantry brigade, with only 21 casualties, of which only 6 were already dead and likely to die soon... This was simply a golden thigh!

...

"...Faced with the most brutal and barbaric invasion of German militarism, the French government will stand with the French people from beginning to end, resist the German invasion and defend the territory belonging to France. I firmly believe that the final victory and glory must belong to France, which is the hero, long live France!"

At 9 a.m. on April 10, Prime Minister Paul Reno of the French Republic told all the supporters and oppositions of him on the balcony of the Martinion Palace to all the people who supported and opposed him, and then delivered a confident speech.

At this moment, Prime Minister Renault didn't know that he was going to face a group of Germans who had cheated, which was much more powerful than the one more than 20 years ago. They would beat him to cry in a few days.

"Long live France! France will win!"

The people in the square were inspired by Renault's speech and cheered. Although some of them were singing the Internationale last night to harass Renault, everyone felt that they were a patriot at this time. And they felt that their fathers could beat the Germans, and their generation would definitely not be much worse.

Just two hours after Renault delivered the "Martinion Palace Speech", the new helm of the British Empire was about to emerge across the English Channel. He was Winston Churchill, the best and most determined person in the Conservative Party to fight to the end with Germany.

At this moment, he was in the Buckingham Palace Auditorium to meet the British King George VI. Neville Chamberlain, who was speechless (stuttering) and who had just recommended him to the British King as the new British Prime Minister.

"The new... government is a coalition government?" The British king frowned. What he was most worried about now was not the German bombs falling from the sky or the German soldiers killed from the other side of the English Channel, but was worried about problems within the UK. Because in his opinion, this world war would be a long and lasting war. Given the destructive nature of German submarines, the British people are likely to suffer serious shortages and difficulties in life, just like the Germans back then. Therefore, a government that can unite all political forces is very important.

"Yes, I will lead a coalition government," Churchill said, "this government will lead the empire to defeat the brutal and savage enemies on the European continent."

"There is no possibility of...peace?" asked the British King.

"No, nor is it necessary," Churchill said firmly, "Just early this morning, the German Empire once again showed its barbaric and aggressive nature, invading Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. If we cannot stop Germany's ambitions, the whole of Europe will soon be shrouded in darkness."

"So Belgium, Luxembourg and... and the Netherlands, have you stood with us?"

"Belgium has declared war on Germany and stands with us," Churchill said. "The attitudes of Luxembourg and the Netherlands are still unknown."

When Churchill said this, Luxembourg had surrendered to Germany. Seven German armored divisions, three motorized infantry divisions, the "Great German" flag team and 10 infantry divisions had crossed the Deluxe border, and their vanguard had already crossed the Ardennes Forest area in northern Luxembourg and broke into Belgium. The remaining 44 divisions of the German Army Group A were divided into two parts, one advanced to the southern part of Luxembourg to threaten the northern part of the Maginot Line; the other was waiting east of the Ardennes Forest to order in the event of the Ardennes Forest, if the armoured cluster did not succeed, it was the turn of these dozens of infantry divisions to attack. If the armored cluster successfully broke through, they would follow up to expand the results.

At the same time, the Netherlands announced a general mobilization, requiring the German team to retreat from the Netherlands' Limburg Province within 72 hours, and filed a protest. However, Churchill knew that the Dutch protests and withdrawal requests were just pretending to fool Britain and France.

After all, the Germans are now just "borrowing" Limburg and have not invaded other parts of the Netherlands. And everyone knows that they have no ambitions for Limburg. The Dutch have no need to put the entire country in for this matter, and continuing to be neutral is still what they want.

The question now is just whether Britain and France can pinch their noses and admit that the Netherlands continues to be neutral?

Churchill's view is that he will not be skeptical with the Netherlands for the time being.

Because the news from Belgium was very bad! The German army attacked the Eben-Emel Fortress and seized two bridges on the Albert Canal. This means that the defense of the Albert Canal-Liege line has been broken by the German army.

The number of Belgian troops deployed on the Albert Canal-Liege line is limited, and it is impossible to block the surging German main force (Churchill believes that the main force of the German army attacking Belgium now) while still having the spare energy to counterattack and regain bridges and fortresses.

Therefore, they had no choice but to take big steps and retreat, meet with the British and French coalition forces who came to reinforce on the Brussels-Dale River (Namur) line, and then seek a decisive battle!
