Iron Germany

When the literary and art circles all over the world were agitating for the German army to attack Paris and blatantly used heavy artillery and planes to destroy those places of interest, the army attacking Paris seemed to be unaffected at all.

The four German armies attacking Paris are still attacking in an orderly manner according to the predetermined plan. Dozens of infantry divisions were thrown into the attack in turn, and the British and French allied forces stationed in Paris were retreating steadily and suffered heavy losses.

In just one day, the defense lines of the British and French allied forces outside Paris fell. The German army invaded the urban area of ​​Paris and began fierce street fighting with the British and French allied forces.

Of course, this is because of the dispatch of armored forces. Coupled with the fierce shelling and bombing of the German army, the defensive positions of the British and French allied forces were plowed several times. Under such circumstances, the British and French allied forces naturally could not resist the German attack.

After entering the city of Paris, the German armored forces stopped moving. Knowing that the British and French allied forces have been equipped with a large number of anti-tank weapons, of course the German armored forces cannot enter the urban area of ​​​​Paris to take risks. In that case, it will undoubtedly increase the number of German tank losses. Although, the number of German tank production has already increased. But every tank crew is precious. Even, those crew members are much more precious than the tank itself. Qin Tian didn't want his elite tank soldiers to lose too much.

"Boom! Boom!"

On one street, a German company was storming a French position. This is a street more than 200 meters long and 20 meters wide. On both sides of the street, there were originally tall buildings. However, under the heavy shelling of the German army, the tall buildings on both sides of the street have collapsed, and the entire street has basically become ruins. However, even so, the French soldiers still resisted the German attack in the ruins. In the eyes of these French soldiers, they probably have no way out now. Their capital has been destroyed by the Germans. The only thing they can do now is probably to continue fighting in the ruined capital until the Germans are defeated, or they are killed by the Germans. It is precisely because of this that the French army's will to resist is still tenacious.

A 60mm mortar was firing crazily, and the gunner almost used the mortar's maximum rate of fire. One after another, the shells smashed into the positions of the French army, blowing up dust and splashing earth and rocks.

"With such a fierce shelling, the French on the ground should all be dead." A second lieutenant platoon leader said.

"Second lieutenant, take your troops and launch an attack." The captain and company commander ordered.

"Yes, sir." The second lieutenant platoon leader nodded.

Soon, dozens of German soldiers groped towards the French position.

However, not long after these German soldiers went out, two Hotkiss machine guns started firing on the French position, and at the same time, many rifles also joined the shooting.

The intensive firepower caused several of the attacking German soldiers to be killed on the spot. Seeing that the situation was not good, the other people quickly lay down on the ground, not daring to move forward. However, when the French army's machine guns fired, they couldn't even retreat, and they fell into a dilemma.

"Damn it! All the mortars and grenades are added to the bombardment. Use the shells to tear up those Frenchmen!" the captain and company commander ordered.

Immediately, three 60mm mortars, two 80mm mortars, and nine grenade launchers all joined the attack. Shells and grenades fell on the French army's position like raindrops, and the sound of explosions came and went, and the whole area was shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

A few minutes later, the captain and company commander gave the order to attack. This time the attack did not meet resistance. When the German soldiers attacked the French position, they discovered that there was nothing on the position except dozens of corpses. Obviously, after being heavily bombarded by the German army, the French troops retreated immediately.

A fierce battle unfolded in the city of Paris. Even the city, already under shelling and bombing by the German army, is about to be turned into ruins. However, the resistance of the British and French allied forces was still very fierce.

They fought fiercely with the German army in the city. Every street, every house, and even every ruin needed fierce fighting before they could decide where they belonged. Especially those French soldiers, they launched attacks without fear of death, as if they were not afraid of death at all. In comparison, although the resistance of those British soldiers was tenacious, they were not so desperate.

It's no wonder that this is the capital of the French after all, and for the French, it has an inseparable feeling. But for the British, they just regard this place as a battlefield.

The defense division of the British and French allied forces in the city of Paris is mainly the defense area of ​​the French 10th Army defending the north of the Seine, and the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force is responsible for the defense area of ​​the south of the Seine. The 100,000 troops of the French 1st Army served as a reserve team, filling in wherever there was a problem.

Although, the Anglo-French coalition forces in the city of Paris, there are 500,000 troops. However, under the siege of the German army, their strength still seemed insufficient. Especially when the German army cleared the way with powerful firepower, it caused great losses to the British and French allied forces. So much so that they were beaten back by the German army, and the entire defense line was in a major collapse.

On the contrary, the German offensive is advancing steadily. Every attack was supported by powerful firepower.

In street fighting, the German army often acts alone with infantry companies or infantry platoons. Every infantry company and infantry platoon has mortars and grenades, which makes them have extremely strong infantry support firepower in street battles. At the same time, the artillery positions deployed outside Paris also always obey their calls. Once necessary, the artillery positions outside the city can cover a large area with artillery fire to the designated area.

Under this kind of tactical attack by the German army, the British and French allied forces naturally suffered heavy losses and were unable to resist. This is why the German army was able to achieve considerable results at a very small cost in street fighting.

"General Manstein, is the troop advancing smoothly?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Highness, everything is going well. Although the resistance of the British and French coalition forces is very tenacious, the losses they can cause us are very slight. The entire battle is under our control." Major General Manstein said.

Qin Tian nodded his head, and then he was relieved.
