Kleist doesn’t think so!
He made up his mind that even if he had to leave, he would not leave until he had made a career in the cavalry!
……
The width of the Wass River is not very wide, and it is autumn now, so the flow of the river begins to decrease. The riverbed in some areas is exposed above the water, making it an excellent crossing point for the 1st Cavalry Division.
“Determine the location here and tell the commander that our troops will cross the river to the southwest of the Tower City, attack the transportation routes behind the Tower City, threaten the French baggage and logistics troops from the rear, and create conditions for frontal combat!”
Since the cavalry is not good at attacking, don’t use them to attack. The advantage of cavalry is that they are fast and flexible, unlike tank armored units that have high requirements for roads and other infrastructure.
Even some country roads can be passed freely by the cavalry, which provides them with convenience to bypass the French army in front and pass through the Wenxin Nature Park! Wenxin Nature
Reserve is a wetland park, which is a large swamp that evolved from an original lake.
Because it is not suitable for settlement and there are a large number of wild animals, the Gauls simply circled it and set it up as a national protected park to prevent people from settling here.
After the Battle of the Tower City started, the Gauls had some defenses against the various offensive routes of the German army. In order to prepare, they dispatched a large number of scouts to various places to monitor the movements of the German army, in order to prevent the German army from crossing the Gas River and going around behind them to attack the Iron Tower City.
At this time, the French army in the Iron Tower City was actively preparing for war. When President Dumelo showed an attitude of being ready to defend here to the end, the morale of the French soldiers finally improved a little.
As long as the officers do not take the lead in escaping, they will have nothing to worry about. The most feared thing is that they will fight bloody battles in the front, but the officers will sell them out in the back and run away directly!
No one is willing to work for such a boss, unless they are a fool!
Fortunately, President Dumelo did not listen to the advice of his subordinates to leave the Iron Tower City. If he took the lead in leaving, the soldiers would definitely think that the superiors had abandoned them and ran away, then they would still be in trouble. What’s the point of fighting here?
Eiffel Tower City is the capital of ordinary soldiers like them, isn’t it the capital of those politicians?
The politicians themselves don’t have to go to the front to fight, and they don’t even dare to stay in the safe rear, so they just run away. Then the soldiers who have to go to the front to fight have all the more reason to run away!
After President Dumelo stayed, the hastily formed police, military cadets and some militiamen in the city were greatly encouraged, and they all began to get busy inside and outside Eiffel Tower City.
The French army set up barbed wire and roadblocks on the important streets of Eiffel Tower City, and also arranged some sandbags and machine guns.
Because the threat of German tanks was too great, they also urgently arranged some anti-tank cones. This thing is not difficult to produce. As long as it is poured with reinforced concrete, Made into a triangular cone, it can be placed on the street to stop the advance of German tanks.
The height of this thing exceeds the height of the front of the tank. If you try to run over it, you will be lifted up and unable to get down. If they want to cross such an obstacle, they need to send infantry to destroy it, but each anti-tank cone weighs at least hundreds of kilograms. It will be very difficult for ordinary soldiers to move these things, and while they are moving these things, they will become excellent targets for the French. Without any cover, they will be fired upon!
If the German army still does not give up and continues to make such attempts, the French army can completely use this fishing method to kill a large number of German troops and create favorable combat conditions for themselves!
Seeing that the mobilized soldiers, including police and militiamen, are busy in full swing, President Dumelo and the military generals who accompanied the inspection finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Where is the German army now?”
President Dumelo is very concerned about the position of the German Sixth Army, because he knows that when this army enters the city of Iron Tower, the defense line they arranged outside will have completely collapsed, and then they will have to start fighting in the streets!
To be honest, the French army has not fought in the street for a long time. In World War I, both sides were deadlocked in the trenches for most of the time, and there were few fierce siege battles, which resulted in both sides not having much experience in street fighting.
However, in the past few years, Hans has sent troops everywhere and conquered several cities, including the capital of Czechoslovakia, the capital of the Polish people, and other places. Especially in the Battle of Warsaw not long ago, the German army fought fierce street fighting, so in terms of street fighting, the German army undoubtedly has the advantage of experience!
If analyzed purely from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the French army is at a comprehensive disadvantage at this time.
Their weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the German army, their combat experience is not as good as that of the German army, the number of troops in the city is not as good as that of the German army, and even their military spirit and morale are not as good as those of the German army.
To be honest, Dumelo himself has no idea. Know whether this battle can be won.
If they win, then they can keep their capital, but if they lose, not only will the capital be lost, but half of the country in the north will also fall.
Moreover, if the German attack is very fast and they run behind them before they withdraw from the Iron Tower City, cutting off their retreat, then they are likely to become a turtle in the German jar, and then he, the president, may become a prisoner of war of the German army!
Thinking of this, President Dumelo shook his head repeatedly. If such a thing really happened, he would rather commit suicide than suffer such humiliation!
Gaul and Hans are sworn enemies. After hundreds of years of war, the two sides have accumulated a blood feud.
If there is a chance, the Gauls will spare no effort to attack the Hans, and conversely, if there is a chance, the Hans will definitely do their best to attack the Gauls.
Therefore, he had better pray that his army can stop the attack of the Hans, otherwise, the end waiting for him is not very good!
“Report to the President, the German army has now captured Werbury and is strengthening the Wass River!”
“So fast?”
President Dumelo was very surprised when he heard the news. It was only in the morning that the news came out that the Germans were attacking Welbury. How come by noon, the Germans had already taken over here?
He remembered that there was a reorganized division here, with more than 17,000 people?
So many people were gone in one morning?
“The 112th Division suffered heavy losses from the fierce air and artillery attacks of the army and has withdrawn to Senlis for rest and recuperation!”
Gamolin came over and reported the latest intelligence to Dumelo.
“Mr. President, the German army is about to start attacking our northern gate, Saint-Denis. Once they capture this place, they will rush into Eiffel Tower. Therefore, I hope that the government will immediately evacuate government confidential and clerical personnel who cannot be involved in the combat, including military dependents and other non-combat personnel from Eiffel Tower to the Lyon area in the south!”
“Okay, I agree with your suggestion!”
“Thank you, Mr. President, you are the bravest man I have ever met, God be with you!”
After saying this, Gan Molin got on the jeep and headed towards the north of the city.
“I will personally go to Saint-Denis to command the battle and meet the incoming German army!”
