Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The French have a disdain for authority in their bones.

The king was powerful enough, but if he was overthrown he would have to be guillotined.

Joan of Arc was great enough, so she was burned when asked to do so.

Tiger Clemenceau's contribution to France in the last world war was certainly great. He was abandoned by the French right after the war, without the slightest hesitation.

Therefore, it is difficult to talk about De Gaulle. The French virtue of picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the chopsticks to scold the mother would be difficult for anyone to use.

Patton did not dwell too much on this issue. He came to Lyon to command operations and quickly got into the mood.

"I hope we can defeat the German army as quickly as possible and recapture Paris before the British." De Gaulle held back his anger and wanted to vent it on the Germans.

"Gentlemen, our forward troops have broken through the German defense lines——"

The good news came sooner than de Gaulle imagined.

Looking at the time, it seems like the battle has just begun.

There is really nothing to worry about. The strength gap between the two sides is so big that even the most cautious people will not doubt the final result.

The only suspense is how long it will take the Allies to end the battle.

The goshawk fought the rabbit with all his strength, but Patton would never allow his car to overturn in the creek, so he went all out as soon as he came up, not giving the Germans the slightest chance.

In fact, preparations for the battle started yesterday.

The Germans are actually not too weak. The eight divisions add up to tens of thousands of people. All necessary preparations must be made. Thousands of Allied aircraft are not just decorations. The bombing of German positions has begun yesterday.

.

Unlike British and American pilots, more than one-third of Patton's pilots had participated in the Battle of Britain. In recent years, they had been baptized in North Africa and Europe and had very rich experience.

The Germans not only lacked combat aircraft, but also had a serious shortage of anti-aircraft machine guns. German commanders had to return to the old routine of World War I and put MG42s on high stands to serve as anti-aircraft machine guns.

The bombers of today are vastly different from the bombers of World War I.

Bombers during World War I flew at very low altitudes, and accuracy could not be guaranteed at any higher altitude.

Today's bombers are equipped with optical sights. Even if they fly at an altitude of 5,000 meters, the accuracy is still guaranteed.

The effective range of the MG42 is only 1000 meters.

Therefore, the Allied bombers can easily fly beyond the range of the MG42 and carry out precise strikes on German positions.

Starting yesterday afternoon, in just six hours, the Allies dispatched 1,500 bomber sorties and dropped more than 12,000 tons of bombs to carry out indiscriminate bombing of German positions.

This morning, various field artillery and self-propelled artillery also joined in. The Germans' counterattack was minimal. As long as their artillery positions were exposed, they would either be brutally suppressed by the Allied superior firepower, or be attacked by bombers in succession.

When the Allies attacked, they still used standard infantry-artillery coordination plus infantry-tank coordination. When the impact point of the artillery shells began to extend toward the rear of the German positions, the Allied heavy tanks were even less than 200 meters away from the German forward positions.

You can't get any closer, otherwise you may be accidentally injured by your own artillery shells.

Thanks to various factors, the Allies successfully broke through the German defense line in their first exploratory attack. This was also thanks to the complex terrain of the battlefield. The Allies could only commit one division to launch the attack. If the battle line was wide enough, then the German defense line was estimated to be at

It will completely collapse before sunset.

"Guess who are the people we captured?" Oscar was very happy. The prisoners were all free labor.

After the war is over, St. Roch will definitely have to be rebuilt. These prisoners are the best construction workers. We will definitely not let them go home unless they are squeezed for ten or eight years.

This has to be someone who doesn't have much blood on their hands. Those guys who have committed such heinous crimes are not even qualified to be prisoners. Several troops from the Axis powers are on the Allied blacklist.

The blacklist here does not include the East Asian battlefield.

There is no need for a blacklist in the East Asian battlefield. Southern Africa has reached an agreement with the East Indies. After the war, if there are any Japanese prisoners of war, they will be sent to the East Indies to grow sugar cane until they die.

"Germans?" De Gaulle's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The answer he was most afraid of hearing now was that he had captured a group of Vichy French troops.

"No, they are Russians -" Oscar's answer made de Gaulle relax, the Russians are not bad -

Russian?

So far in the world war, Russia has lost more than 8 million soldiers. This does not include the missing and captured people. Including civilians, Russia has lost more than 25 million people.

The war was so miserable, but there were still Russians joining the German army. Is there a collective Stockholm Syndrome?

"Call the Russians and ask them what to do -" De Gaulle was also sinister enough.

"How many?" Barton didn't want to cause trouble, so he stayed for a while so that he could meet again in the future.

"There are more than 2,000 in total. It is said that more than 3,000 people died in our bombing. This division only has more than 5,000 people in total." Oscar smiled brightly. It would be great if the next battles would be like this.

Five thousand people is not too much, but what is even more excessive is the division of two thousand people. Starting from 1942, the Axis powers began to be short of troops. The losses on the battlefield were part of the problem. The more important reason was that the front was too long.

.

The straight-line distance from Berlin to Moscow is 1,500 kilometers. After entering Russia, every time the German army occupied an area, it had to leave a certain number of garrison troops. When the German army had the largest number of troops in Russia, it only had 7.8 million troops, which was really not enough.

So far, Russia has mobilized more than 30 million troops, with the maximum number of frontline troops reaching 13 million.

"So, when our tanks rushed into the Russian position, the Russians raised their hands and surrendered, and there was no fighting at all." Patton also did not expect that the battle would be so easy.

The British and Americans still had a hard time fighting in Normandy.

In southern Africa and the Free French side, the German army's will to fight is obviously insufficient. Even the servants in Normandy will not surrender easily.

"These Russians are all Cossacks. They have no ideals and no motherland. They only work for money." Oscar lamented that the Cossacks were also a famous fighting nation in the past.

For the same reason, since entering the industrial age, nomads have become good at singing and dancing, and the Cossacks are certainly no exception.

"Very good, order the troops to continue the attack without stopping for a moment. Our goal is Paris!" Patton made a strong effort and crossed the German 19th Army. The Allied forces were only less than 300 kilometers away from Paris.

When the South French Allied Forces attacked across the board, Montgomery was bargaining with another Patton.

The British suffered heavy losses in the previous stage and have not recovered yet. Montgomery hopes that the US military will serve as the main force to launch an attack on the German forces in Caen.

Patton decisively refused.

The British army suffered heavy losses, and the American army had just fought a tough battle and had to travel a long distance from Cherbourg to Caen. Without a day or two of rest, they were unable to move out.

Forget about the Southern African Expeditionary Force. Montgomery didn't expect the Southern African Expeditionary Force to take the initiative to attack. Thank God if it doesn't delay.

"Army Group B has begun to attack the German army. I heard that it is going smoothly, and more than 20,000 prisoners have been captured." In the corner of the conference room, Major General Brian Shaw from Southern Africa was talking to Norman from Free France.

Major General Clark whispered.

In order to facilitate distinction, the Allied Command organized the Allied forces in Normandy as Army Group A, the Allied forces participating in Operation Dragoon as Army Group B, and the Allied forces that invaded France from Spain as Army Group C.

The Allied forces fighting in Italy were organized into Army Group D.

In terms of scale, Army Group A is the strongest, with more than one million troops, more than 5,000 tanks, and 16,000 aircraft. The command has high hopes for Army Group A.

The reality is always very harsh. Among the four armies, the other three were progressing smoothly and advancing all the way. Only Army A was blocked by the Germans in Caen, which embarrassed Winston and Eisenhower.

"It seems that the glory of recovering Paris will probably belong to Army Group B." Norman Clark looked excited. His identity in Army Group A is the coordinator. He not only coordinates the relationship between Army Group A and other army groups, but also coordinates the relationship between Army Group A and other army groups.

He is also responsible for communicating with the guerrillas.

To Eisenhower's dismay, the guerrillas, who played a huge role in Army Group B's attack, were almost helpless against Army Group A. Not only did the guerrillas not dare to take the initiative to attack the Germans, but many of the intelligence reports they sent back were even

Conflicting.

For Norman Clark, he definitely hoped that the Free French Army would regain Paris. If the British and American troops regained Paris, Paris would probably suffer another catastrophe.

During the Allied landings, Norman Clark made many protests to the headquarters, demanding that the headquarters strictly restrain the Allied officers and soldiers and not harass the French people, let alone steal, rob, or use inducements.

I really don’t know, and I’m shocked when I compare them. The military discipline of the British and American soldiers is in name only. It’s hard to imagine that when British soldiers and American soldiers are fighting, they would break into the homes of French civilians to search for property. Some French women were even assaulted by the allies.

military insult.

This is too much. The Germans were not this much when they were stationed in southern France. The German army was brutal and brutal, but their discipline was still good. On the contrary, the servants of the Axis powers were really disciplined and committed all kinds of evil.

Similar to the British and American troops.

"Gentlemen, it would be great if you were as enthusiastic as you are now about taking the initiative to attack -" Major General William Reilly from the United Kingdom couldn't bear it. Even if he didn't take the initiative to attack the German army, he was still making sarcastic remarks here. You are all

A German undercover.

"This is your mission, and it should be completed by you." Xiao didn't raise his eyebrows, and the British could be regarded as reaping the consequences.

After the Battle of France -

No, during the Battle of France, Britain began to conserve its strength and divert trouble to the north. During the Battle of North Africa, Britain fully displayed its attributes of being a troublemaker.

In the past few years, despite what Winston said, Britain has never gone all out. In the past, it asked the French to block the gun, but now it hugs the thighs of southern Africa and the United States, even without shame.

"This is our common task -" William Reilly corrected, as long as the southern Africans take the initiative to attack, it doesn't matter if they say sarcastic words, even if they swear, they will tolerate it.

"Sir, the Prime Minister's plane is about to land." The adjutant came over to inform Montgomery that Winston was going to the front line in person to supervise the battle.

Winston was having a hard time during this time.

In southern Africa, Rock reminded Winston to pay attention to the direction of public opinion in Britain.

Winston was very tough-talking at the time, but after returning to the UK, he ordered the British intelligence agency to conduct a secret investigation into members of the Labor Party.

Rock's greatest miracle so far is that he never misses anything.

Winston, like Stoudemire, has a reputation for integrity.

You don’t know if you don’t check, but when you check, you are shocked. Winston is surprised to find that while the Conservative Party is working hard to maintain the situation against Germany, members of the British Labor Party are going deep into the community to send warmth and use empty promises to win over voters.

of votes.

For the vast majority of British people, their tolerance for war has almost reached its limit.

From 1939 to now, the World War has been going on for four full years. Although the German army has not landed on British soil, German bombers and V2 rockets still visit British airspace from time to time, which makes the British fearful.

How many four years can a person have in a lifetime?

The vast majority of ordinary British families have been living frugally and frugally in the past four years, and their lives have been extremely difficult. They can't even fill their stomachs. Many British children have even become obviously malnourished. This is simply a shame for the British Empire.

When was the last time the British went hungry?

Many British people today have no memory of hunger at all.

In this case, it is particularly attractive for Labor to issue a blank check.

The Labor Party’s current proposal is basically an upgraded version of MacDonald’s welfare system. Attlee promised that if he became the British Prime Minister, he would build the United Kingdom into a welfare society, impose heavy taxes on the rich, and increase subsidies to workers and farmers.

subsidies, increase the pension income of the elderly, strictly implement the eight-hour work system and the weekend system, and also ensure that all British people have one month of paid leave every year.

Let’s not talk about whether these promises can be fulfilled. First of all, these promises are really attractive to the British people who are conservative and war-torn.

After learning about the situation, Winston finally woke up from the dream of the "Duke of London". If he didn't do something, then after the war was over, he would be quickly dismissed by the British government and the British just like the last time.

abandon.

So Winston decided to go to Normandy personally to supervise the battle.

"Before I came, I met with His Majesty the King. His Majesty the King told me that he had prepared 10,000 medals and 100 knighthoods, which would be awarded to the meritorious officials in this battle - not only the British, but everyone has the opportunity.

"The only things the king can offer now are medals and titles.

"No matter what our allies do, I have decided that early tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the troops to attack Caen." Montgomery looked determined and determined.

The credibility of this statement is not high.

The British attack was normal.

Montgomery personally led the attack—

No matter how you hear it, it doesn't sound right.
