The next day, before the storm had completely subsided, the roar of planes came from the sky.

Then there was a large area of ​​transport aircraft, like dark clouds when the storm first appeared, and then parachutes like dandelions slowly descended from the sky.

This was the airborne force of the British and American troops, and Eisenhower sent to help Zhang Chi consolidate Paris's defense.

At this time, Paris was not just a political sign. As long as the Allies could control it, it meant that a nail was laid behind the German defense line or on the retreat road. Then the army would spread to the two wings with this nail as the center, forming an encirclement of the German troops stationed in the coastline, especially Calais and Normandy.

At this time, the German army was heading for collapse without any surprise.

Rommel's last attempt failed because of insufficient supply... Caen and Rouen are two important supply bases of Rommel's B Army. Both supply bases were occupied by the Chinese army and then cleaned up. Then even if they were occupied by the German army after that, their losses would be irreversible.

This made Rommel choose to launch a raid on the US military in the dark, but the US military was prepared for this. A large number of landmines and tight firepower nets caused several German attacks to end with heavy casualties.

As for the Germans on Calais and other coastal defense lines... when they knew that Normandy and Paris, especially Paris, fell into the hands of the Allies, they knew that the war was already over.

Even the most slutty soldiers could see this: the situation of the Allies was very good, Normandy had opened a breakthrough, and the liberation of Paris called on French guerrillas and underground organizations to revolt one after another, especially Paris was the command center and rear of the German army. In addition, after the storm passed, the sky was regained in the hands of the Allies... The German army was defeated.

It can even be said that if the German army did not retreat, they would be surrounded by the Allies and stayed in France forever.

So the German army soon experienced the largest retreat in history. Dozens of divisions and hundreds of thousands of people lost their will to resist and retreated to the French-German border... What made the German army very frustrated was that the French roads and bridges had already been bombed out of shape, and they were also stalked and harassed by Allied fighter jets, which made their retreat difficult and slow.

Zhang Chi stayed in Paris and did not move. The Chinese army's mission was to station in Paris, so Zhang Chi even had time to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris... However, during the visit, the explosives on the Paris Tower had not been completely unloaded.

Then Zhang Chi received a call from the US airborne troops.

"Major General!" The voice of a US military officer came from the walkie-talkie: "Col. Martin, the commander of the 327th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, pays tribute to you. We are ordered to airborne to the left wing of Paris and cooperate with you to defend Paris. The entire regiment is 3,355 people waiting for your arrangement!"

101 Airborne Division... This is the trump card in the US airborne troops. A very famous modern TV series "Brothers Company" is based on the 101 Airborne Division.

It seems that Eisenhower also realized the importance of Paris and devoted himself to a lot of money.

"Station on the spot, colonel!" Zhang Chi ordered: "You have done fortifications before it gets dark. It is very likely that the Germans will appear at night. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Colonel Martin responded, paused, and said again: "Sir, please allow me to talk nonsense... Your command is really outstanding. We all did not expect that you would occupy Paris so quickly. We thought it would take at least a month later, but suddenly... you know, before we even prepared, the Germans began to collapse on the whole line! Beautiful job!"

Colonel Martin is telling the truth, because in the British and American attack method, it is to use a large number of shells and tanks to pile forward. Paris is more than 200 kilometers away from Normandy, and the German army can defend it layer by layer, so it will be a month later to attack Paris.

But now it's only a few days... The US military even wanted to wait for the storm to show its power, but unexpectedly, the winner was decided before the storm could be decided.

"Colin!" Zhang Chi replied: "You must know that if anyone can think of it, then we are afraid that we have become Germans' guns now!"

Colonel Martin couldn't help laughing "haha".

What made Zhang Chi feel a little flawed is that General Giro was still unwilling to appear in Paris at this time. Needless to say, General Giro was still worried about security issues.

At this time, what Paris needs more is members of the Algiers government, especially General Giro... The Chinese army and the Zoaf Corps are always foreign troops, so French leaders like General Giro need to raise their arms in Paris and chant to gain support from the Parisian people.

As long as everyone understands, this is the best time for General Giro to reap political benefits, but General Giro still plays the same trick as before... Let General Juan exercise power on his behalf and rush to Paris.

But without surprise, General Zhu An had some accidents on the road, and they were blocked by the guerrillas mistakenly considered German deserters.

The reason why it is said to be "no surprise" is because Zhang Chi knew from the very beginning that this situation would occur, and the guerrillas' "misunderstanding" was actually not "misunderstanding".

On the other hand, Leclerc's armored division rushed to Paris all the way night and finally arrived in Paris two days later, ahead of General Zhu'an.

The result is conceivable. The Parisians welcomed General Leclerc's troops with the warmest applause and cheers, and sang Marseille's songs... The French needed a victory too much, to be precise, a victory that belonged to the French themselves, so they would certainly agree with the army composed of the French and left the Chinese troops and the Zoaf Corps aside.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Chi could only sigh helplessly: A good hand of cards was beaten by General Giro.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Chi felt it didn't matter, because he had already got what he needed most... Von Braun and his team.

As for General Giro, let him regret it and face this situation by himself.

Zhang Chi sometimes thought that it seemed that General Giro could not support the wall with mud, and it seemed that it was caused by fate.

It is sometimes not as easy as I imagined to change history. Even though I have made many efforts and achieved considerable success, history is still moving in the direction it should go.

What Zhang Chi did not expect was that this did not mean that the struggle between General Giro and Charles de Gaulle was over. The Algiers government was not as ruthless as he thought.
Chapter completed!
