The Western Front of the European battlefield was the first battlefield to be fought in this world war, and it was also the battlefield with the fiercest fighting. Starting in June 1911, millions of people from the German Army and the British and French Allied Forces were on the territory of France and Belgium.
The brutal fighting began. In the past two years, more than two million people have been killed or injured on both sides! Even more civilians were killed or injured.
There are countless. However, two years later, this fierce battle seems to have a winner. After two years of persistence, the British and French forces finally showed their decline again. And the German army is getting closer and closer to Paris.
, this time, can they capture Paris and completely destroy France? At least, Germany is already full of confidence in this battle!
In the past two years of war, northern and northeastern France have been almost reduced to a scorched earth. Countless people have been displaced. Many people have left their homes and fled to southern France for refuge. Paris, the capital, is even more crowded with refugees. The French government
Has also been consumed in this war
Despite all the efforts of the country, there is no way to save these refugees. Only the French Army selects the best among the refugees, then arms them, sends them to the battlefield, and finally dies on the battlefield, and the price they have to pay for this may be
Just a few measly pieces of brown bread!
The French are romantic by nature, but this cruel war has made the French unable to be romantic. In this war, the French Army has suffered more than 1.2 million casualties. Adding in the casualties of civilians, France has suffered a lot in this war.
More than five million people have been killed or injured in the war! You know, before the war began, the total population of France was only 39 million. In addition, the British Expeditionary Force also lost more than 500,000 people on the French battlefield.
.Such heavy casualties made France’s strength even worse!
Compared with France, Germany's situation is undoubtedly much better. Although France is fighting on two fronts, Russia's strength on the eastern front is too weak. In addition, Germany's allies Austria-Hungary and China have successively taken action, and Russia has been completely hindered.
Well, it is simply impossible for Russia to pose a threat to Germany! Germany's losses on the Western Front battlefield were also around one million people. However, the total population of Germany reached 66 million before the war, which was almost
Almost twice that of France. Under such circumstances, Germany could mobilize much more troops than France. Although Germany was blocked by the British navy before the war began, strategic supplies were consumed very quickly. But there are
Thanks to China's continuous blood transfusions to Germany through the Baghdad Railway, coupled with a series of advanced weapons that Germany obtained from China, Germany's war strength has far exceeded that of the British and French coalition forces two years later!
Starting from the spring of 1913, Germany launched a decisive offensive operation on the Western Front, hoping to defeat the British and French forces in one fell swoop, completely defeat France, and win the victory on the Western Front! Since the end of March, Germany has invested a total of more than
Three million troops launched a fierce attack on northern and northeastern France, which also included
Thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as thousands of combat aircraft. There are 10,000 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 100 mm! The British and French coalition forces fighting the Germans only have a total strength of about 3 million people, and there are also
A large part of them are new recruits who have just joined the army! In addition, in terms of heavy weapons, the British and French Allied Forces and
There is also a huge gap between the German army. The tanks and armored vehicles made by Britain and France are not at all the No. 1 tanks (T4 'Wild Wolf' light tank) and No. 2 tanks (T5 'Cheetah') produced by Germany, which obtained technology from China.
medium tanks). In terms of aircraft, the 'Hurricane' 2 fighter jets of the British and French coalition forces can barely
It was enough to compete with the F5 'Haitongqing' fighter jet that Germany obtained from China. However, the German Air Force learned from the Chinese Air Force's combat methods and dispatched a large number of bombers to attack the airports of the British and French coalition forces, blowing up a large number of British and French coalition aircraft.
At the airport, the British and French forces were unable to compete with the German Air Force for air supremacy.
Under such a comparison of strength, the British and French coalition forces could not compete with the German army on the ground or in the air. This also caused the British and French coalition forces to be at a disadvantage at the beginning of this battle, and the front line defenses were constantly broken by the German troops.
, the battle line is getting closer and closer to Paris!
On May 26, the nearest German unit was less than 30 kilometers away from Paris. The German Air Force even sent bombers to bomb Paris several times, blowing up many buildings with a long history and strong artistic value, which caused French concern.
Strong protest. If it weren't for Kaiser Wilhelm II's will, France's iconic Eiffel Tower might have been blown up by the Luftwaffe!
On the afternoon of May 27, the German Chief of General Staff visited the front line in person to coordinate the various German armies’ upcoming final attack on Paris. The German Chief of General Staff, General Falkenhayn, was very ambitious this time. The German army had defeated the British and French forces.
It has become a foregone conclusion, and his reputation will be greatly improved. After this war is over, he will be promoted to marshal. This is also a certainty!
General Falkenhayn held a pre-war meeting in Lafitte-Soujoire, about 60 kilometers northeast of Paris. The commanders of the six German armies on the Western Front rushed here, as well as the German Air Force Commander Schumer.
General Schulz. General Schulz was originally an artillery general, but after the establishment of the Luftwaffe, he was appointed as the air force commander by Kaiser Wilhelm II, responsible for the formation and operations of the Luftwaffe. According to his experience in World War I
Due to his outstanding achievements, he was successfully promoted to Marshal of the German Air Force!
"Generals, after two years of hard fighting, we have gained a decisive advantage! The next step is to capture Paris, completely defeat the British and French forces, and win this war! Our allies, the Chinese, have occupied
The whole world has been conquered, but we are still restricted in Europe. The reason is that Britain and France have restrained us! Now, we must defeat the British and French coalition forces before we can fight with them.
The Chinese are fighting for the world! The attack on Paris will begin in three days. This time, we will take Paris in one go!" Admiral Falkenhayn said excitedly! This will be a historic event for Germany.
It can almost be compared with the Battle of Sedan decades ago! Didn't Prussia at that time defeat France, step on France's corpse, complete the unification of Germany, and achieve rapid development?
The commanders of the various officers below were also very excited. They were the biggest contributors to the victory of Paris and the defeat of the British and French forces. And they will also be promoted with the help of this military exploit!
Crown Prince William also returned to the army and became the commander of the 5th Army. Although he is the crown prince, he still needs to accumulate military exploits to subdue those rebellious military generals. This time, the final battle against France will undoubtedly
It’s an excellent opportunity!
Crown Prince William is also very dissatisfied with Britain and France! Because of the constraints of Britain and France, Germany is like a tiger trapped in a cage, while the evil China is like a dragon, wantonly occupying the world
The most fertile land, all these are what Germany deeply longs for. China's current strength has surpassed Germany, and Crown Prince William seems to blame all the reasons for this on Britain and France. It seems that if there were no Britain and France
If there is no obstruction, Germany will not be left behind by China!
"Next, I will make specific arrangements for the attack on Paris! The 1st Army bypassed Paris and attacked Laimiro in the west of Paris, blocking the retreat of the British and French forces to the west! The 2nd Army attacked Paris from the north, and the 3rd Army
The 4th Army attacked Paris from the northeast, the 5th Army attacked Paris from the east, and the 6th Army detoured to the south of Paris to block the retreat route of the British and French forces to the south! Do you have any objections to this?" said German Chief of Staff Fall.
Admiral Kenhaine asked.
"Your Excellency, Chief of General Staff, the 5th Army hopes to launch an attack from the northeast of Paris!" Crown Prince William said!
Admiral Falkenhayn frowned. The northeastern part of Paris is the key defense area of the British and French coalition forces, and it is also the most difficult to attack. That's why he arranged two legions of troops on this defense line. In the east of Paris, the British and French coalition forces
The defense was a little weak, and Crown Prince William's status was noble, so he asked the 5th Army to attack from the east. But now, Crown Prince William seems a little ungrateful!
The 5th Army Corps led by Crown Prince William fought bravely and made many achievements in the past two years. However, this Army Corps also suffered the greatest losses. In the past two years, this Army Corps has suffered almost half of its casualties. If not for every battle
After the end, if the German General Staff gave priority to replenishing the losses of the 5th Army, this Army might have fallen apart long ago!
"Well, let's exchange the combat missions of the 5th Army and the 4th Army!" Admiral Falkenhayn said.
Crown Prince William nodded with satisfaction, but a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the Duke of Württemberg, the commander of the German 4th Army Corps. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Crown Prince William's arrogance! If it weren't for Crown Prince William
If his identity and status were placed here, he would probably have reprimanded him long ago!
After the German army's combat arrangements were issued, the German army immediately began to mobilize. In fact, the previous German army's several legions were almost deployed. In the last few days, only a few minor adjustments are needed!
The large-scale mobilization of the German army also attracted the close attention of the British and French coalition forces. Everyone at the top of the British and French coalition forces and the heads of the French government knew that the German army was about to launch a new round of attacks on them. This was also very likely to be a counterattack.
