Chapter 379

"My God, I heard that today they will enter Paris?" A citizen, pale with fright, stared at the intersection and asked his companions: "I heard these Germans are demons."

"I don't know. The people in the army say they are all tuberculosis ghosts who have been hungry for ten years." His companion shrugged his shoulders and replied, "but I don't really believe that. It's ridiculous to say that our millions of troops were killed by a group of tuberculosis ghosts."

"It's said that they will force women, rob property, kill all men and throw them into the wilderness to feed their captive dogs." Not far away, a nobleman asked his men, "have you made it clear? Are these real or fake? "

In the morning of this day, some German troops actually entered Paris, but these reconnaissance troops did not stay for long. They drove armored vehicles whistling past the edge of the city, looked at the Paris buildings with closed doors, and continued to look south for French troops with a sneer.

When the French citizens commented on the German invaders, the soldiers of the German reconnaissance troops, who were covered with dust and didn't take a bath for a week, were also laughing at their opponents: "it's a shame for these French people to run away without daring to fire a shot in the capital."

"Yes The commander on the armored reconnaissance vehicle nodded, and then said, "if they dare to fire one shot, the Fuehrer will let the air force drop at least 200 bombs on them. Then you won't find Paris, because it's just a ruin. If so, you will miss the present more, because you have to clean up the ruins of Paris for at least 20 days. "

The city has not been so empty for a long time. Three million French Parisians fled a full third before German troops moved south to approach Paris. Now these people are crowded on the roads, mingled with the fleeing French troops, making the traffic in the whole area very heavy.

And these swarms of people on the road provide the best target for the German air force. The German Air Force dispatched 2000 do-217 bombers and 5000 Stuka bombers at one go, causing tens of thousands of heavy casualties to the civilians retreating South and the French army.

Then, the sound of the dull drum shocked the whole Paris, and the real German troops entering the city finally showed their faces. A foreign journalist stood in the street, looking at the German soldiers who were described as monsters by the previous newspapers in horror, a strange idea came to his mind.

The first troops to enter Paris, France, were all riding on high horses, and the sound of their hooves could be heard even a mile away. These German cavalry tried their best to keep their horses in step and roll forward on the roads of Paris.

The resolute and deep eyes under the helmets are extremely cold. There are grenades, map bags and other small pieces hanging on the tactical vests, and behind them are guns of different lengths. These German soldiers did not squint and rode through the city on their horses. However, the number of them was astonishing. It seemed that there were 10000 people in front of and behind them.

"When these cold-blooded German cavalry pass by, Parisians will not make a fuss even if they see the marching team of robots again. In fact, it's only farm children from Bavaria and Austria who come here. They ride fat horses, which are several kilometers long An American reporter described what he saw.

Because of the propaganda of the French government, some Parisians think of the German soldiers as rock hard cold-blooded legions. These stone like terror killers ride in mechanized chariots and never speak. Anyway, they are just "things", not "human beings".

Now these Parisians finally saw the enemy they were afraid of, and when they put their heads out of the window, or bravely took to the streets, the cavalry on high horses was almost gone, so these Parisians saw the German artillery troops on war horses, pulling 105mm field guns and 75mm field guns.

Before they were surprised at what they saw, there were swarms of German trucks following them. Behind these trucks were the 150 mm guns produced by Krupp. In 1916, Krupp's cannons failed to allow Germany to invade the downtown area of Paris. Now, another weapon "tank" produced by Krupp allows Germany to take Krupp cannons to the streets of Paris.

Some French believe in the image of malnourished Germans portrayed by French propaganda agencies, which say that the Germans are hungry because of the harsh wartime economy, they don't have enough food, they are hungry and thin, and become dictator akado? Rudolph's poor victim.

But when these Frenchmen saw the healthy face on the German's face, they really dispelled a lot of hostility“ Our newspaper even said that these German soldiers had not eaten for ten years... "A French woman stared at the German soldiers. As the enemy, these soldiers walked with light and neat steps, and their boots clattered on the ground. They passed in front of the French and looked at the French residents curiously.

"Look at these handsome soldiers! All good boys A French girl sighed. Then the people around her whispered, "Hey! Calm down! Our dead children, what do they look like? "

Closely following the mechanized artillery into the city, is the German war ace, daunting tank troops. The leopard tanks were full of bullet marks, and the German armored soldiers with blackened collars leaned against the open hatch of the turret, looking at the beautiful scenes around them with a smile. It has to be said that Paris is a great city full of artistic atmosphere. Every plant here seems to have the style of an artist. This kind of refreshing atmosphere is rarely seen by the German soldiers who fought all the way, so they went into the Grand View Garden like granny Liu and scanned around curiously. The engine of the tank roared, and on both sides were follow-up scouts on motorcycles and signalmen. They stopped from time to time to ease the crowd, so as to keep the more and more daring French citizens away from the dangerous German war machine. For fear of any unnecessary accident, the armored forces in the rear were even informed to load the assault rifles equipped in the tanks with magazines. One leopard tank after another rumbled through the Arc de Triomphe, and the German armored soldiers sang their war songs, which echoed over Paris, wave after wave. A French citizen sobbed as the flag near his home was lowered and replaced by a red, white, round and black flag. Because most of the armored forces were thrown to the front line to do what they should do, there were not many German tanks passing through the city this time, and most of them were not the main force. Therefore, after the leopard tanks passed only a few squares, they were followed by No. 3 combat vehicles from other armored forces. In fact, the performance of these tanks is not too backward. It's just that with the glory of leopard tanks, these "experimental products" produced in advance in order to accumulate tank production experience seem to be a little old-fashioned. However, as the main force of German second-line armored forces, tank 3 is endowed with more combat missions because of its low cost and easier production. The troops following tank 3 are a bit surprising. The first is the low and ugly No.3 assault guns. These small combat vehicles without turrets are infantry support weapons, which are subordinate to the infantry self-propelled close support mission or used as mechanized artillery. Most of them are equipped with short barrel 75mm guns, improved long barrel 75mm guns, or replaced with larger caliber 105mm short barrel guns. If these assault guns are in order, they are followed by a mess of equipment. One is a tank fighter refitted from a Czech 38t tank, the other is a 40mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun refitted from a No. 2 tank, followed by a 40mm caliber anti-aircraft gun with an improved chassis of No. 3 tank, Then there are the improved 150 mm self-propelled howitzer of tank 2, the improved 105 mm caliber howitzer of tank 2, and the modified light tank destroyer of tank 2... The German propaganda department, which originally intended to hold a grand ceremony of entering the city, ignored the character of the head of state and also forgot the character of goodrian as the front-line commander, It can be said that both teachers and friends are realists who don't like to put on airs. They prefer to operate one thing efficiently. As for other aspects, if they don't have it, they will be better. So the grand ceremony of entering the city did not take place. Instead, some front-line combat troops entered Paris directly, then crossed the city and continued to attack France southward. Some troops look clean because they are all cavalry troops catching up, while the real combat troops are all dusty and look like a group of slovenly boys. Some of the armored grenadiers who were followed even had blood stains on their bodies. Many of them entered Paris with injuries, because they could not bear to give up the supreme honor of taking the lead in attacking Paris. These men, armed with rifles and some with gauze on their foreheads, did not look fierce or friendly. They roared past in trucks and armored vehicles, with the joy of capturing Paris on their faces, and drove towards their new targets. In their eyes, France had been defeated, no doubt. Just as the German army continued to cross Paris, two armored commanders, goodrian and Rommel, who came by helicopter from the general headquarters of group a army, were promoted to the rank of general of the Empire. They were ordered to organize two new armored regiments, l (Rommel group army) and G (goodrian group army).
