Battle of the Third Reich
v5 Chapter 33: flash
The low engine roar came like a thunder. With the rumbling sound approaching slowly, people felt the ground beneath their feet, the surrounding air, and even their internal organs trembling with the roar.
The armored troops are advancing, and the Germans use their impressive record to give this ordinary description a deeper meaning, full of pride and pride. The armored forces are advancing, which has almost become a synonym for the German Wehrmacht, even though it has paid a heavy price to achieve this legendary German army.
Now, the skirt of the goddess of victory has been lifted to the Germans, and the German Wehrmacht has proved to the world that they are strong. For them, it is now the moment to enjoy victory.
Like the great victors in history, the German people did not expect to look back and see what they climbed on. They only knew that they had reached the place they wanted to reach. For the surviving soldiers on the **** battlefield, this is enough.
The armored forces are advancing, in order to let the French have a deeper and more vivid understanding of this sentence, the German ** team has made a substantial contribution. In order to enter the city this time, the Germans almost took out all the colors at the bottom of the press box.
Surrounded by Paris are four elite infantry divisions. As the name suggests, the infantry division is a pure infantry unit. Even the elite is still an infantry. It will not grow a horn more than others. The Germans were very simple in military system. Unlike the Yankees in history in the second half of World War II, they said that they were infantry, and as a result, they were all tanks.
So the problem in front of the headquarters is that there are a lot of anti-tank weapons in the four most elite German infantry divisions, and there is not one tank. There is only a group of wheeled armored vehicles with a little taste of armored forces. The factory time ranges from 1932 to 1939. The time span is up to eight years. The variety covers the entire history of the development of post-war German wheeled armored vehicles.
Adhering to the spirit of the dead horse as a living horse doctor, the German logistics forces worked hard all day and night to select the best from the pile of armored vehicles, repaired and decorated, and finally finally got 12 vehicles that could reflect the German army. The coexistence of majesty and technology came out.
Now, what appeared to the French were these wheeled combat vehicles that were almost reinvented by the German logistics support forces.
To tell the truth, the Germans did not have the skills to say that those armored vehicles looked as if they had just shone from the factory. The convoy was formed in two columns, with a distance of two meters on the left and right, and a distance of five meters on the front and back, along the Champs Elysees in an overwhelming attitude.
Starting with two sd.kfz.221 wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles, this four-wheeled light armored reconnaissance vehicle is the first truly field armored vehicle in German history. The previous models did not have off-road capabilities, it can only be said to be a car with a thick iron cover. It was not until this type of armored vehicle appeared that the Germans truly mastered the mechanized field reconnaissance capabilities.
Now the two small steel beetles are slowly moving forward in the eyes of the citizens of Paris with curiosity and awe. The captains in black armored uniforms stand proudly in the slightly flat machine turret to the two sides of France The citizens smiled proudly.
The French have never seen German armored vehicles from close quarters. To be honest, many of them can't tell the difference between tanks and armored vehicles. In their eyes, these German chariots are all iron with angular shapes, weird shapes, and even some ugliness. Guy, from the appearance, it brings a dangerous atmosphere full of destructive power.
The French looked at these iron beetles brushed with German ash slowly in front of them with curiosity. They whispered and talked softly while restraining their habit of pointing at novelty objects. Four 221 models are followed by eight six-wheel 231 models. From the appearance, he is more deterrent than the 221 model.
The same angular outer shell, the rear body full of force, and the captain standing on the turret as well.
This armored vehicle is generally used as a wheeled combat vehicle. It is assigned to the wheeled combat vehicle platoon of the armored command company. In the infantry unit, only the divisional headquarters will issue a platoon of this wheeled combat vehicle as a command. Guards use. However, due to the lack of armored assault power in ordinary infantry divisions, German commanders often like to use these armored vehicles instead of tanks to attack positions defended by opposing light infantry or to eliminate residual resistance in villages and towns, which has resulted in the serious loss of these vehicles.
In the eyes of the Parisians, these armored vehicles are not as large as they might think, and they can even be said to be short. It is completely different from the feeling they got in the newspaper and book photos. The four-wheeled armored car in the front is only one lap larger than the ordinary Citroen car, and the six-wheeled one in the back is as big as a two-ton truck and looks like It's not as tall as the truck.
However, this does not mean that the French will underestimate these tanks. On the contrary, the low profile, filled with beveled corners and painted with that grayish blue paint reflected the cold armor plate in the morning sunlight, and the black machine gun barrel with metal flashes covered with heat dissipation holes, All this brings a creepy sense of oppression to the French people present, while constantly reminding them that the dark manufacturing concepts behind these strange-looking vehicles are elaborately designed killing machines.
However, as the gray chariot drove slowly, what they saw next surprised the Parisians who thought they had seen the world to be sturdy, completely overthrowing the battle they had just set up against Germany. The ugly and horrible impression of the car.
What was this, apart from stunned, the people in Paris almost groaned and marveled. A dazzling flash appeared before their eyes, and for a time it seemed that the entire street was illuminated.
As the representative of the German armored force, it is actually the only armored force in the entire Paris theater, but it is also the most capable force in the German army. The German head of guard tank regiment debuted.
It was indeed a shining debut, and one of Hydera's most magnificent dragon heads appeared in front of the world for the first time in his most dazzling posture.
The silver-gray armor is now polished as smooth as a mirror surface, and it looks like it is made of sterling silver. The slopes of the armor plate are now reflecting in all directions the golden yellow sun shining through the shade, giving people a A dreamy feeling in the fairy tale world.
A single such shining chariot has been able to attract the attention of all French citizens who have an almost paranoid hobby of art, and what is now in front of them is a whole reinforcement battalion, with more than eighty vehicles. Various tanks appeared in front.
The French citizens could hardly believe that what they saw was real. They stared at the dazzling flash in shock, unable to speak a coherent word in shock, and could only emit a string of meaningless sound symbols .
The Parisians have collectively taken the opportunity, and the rigid and stubborn Germans have perfectly combined art and weapons. It seems that the end of the world is indeed coming.
The gorgeous armored legion slowly rolled over the smooth and smooth tarmac of the Champs Elysées without leaving any traces. According to the order of the head of Reinhardt, all tanks were equipped with rubber track blocks, which not only protected the fragile pavement of Paris It can also mitigate the noise made by these big guys, especially after carefully lubricating all the moving parts. Now these shiny steel behemoths are running quietly like a tank.
The engine roared symmetrically and low, and the exhaust pipe was sprayed with light blue smoke, so that the rear team's tank was enveloped by a light blue smoke, which seemed to strengthen the myth of the scene.
The golden ivy flower decoration, the huge car emblem made of enamel, and the fiery red car number. The French stared their eyes almost greedily and admired the scene before them, as if they wanted to imprint what they saw in their minds forever.
"This...are these tanks? The Virgin Mary..."
"My God, the Germans are crazy. They even decorated their weapons like this."
"I swear I never dreamed that I would see this kind of tank. Did the Germans defeat us by this?"
The Parisians finally recovered their brain thinking and language skills. They began to marvel loudly, and the scene was noisy.
"Unbelievable, did you bring the camera? Lord, look at the line, is it golden?"
"It's so beautiful, just like the Royal Team of Louis XIV, it's so gorgeous."
"Where is the Royal Team of Louis XIV, this is simply Apollo's chariot, you see the sun shining on those tanks, I have never seen such a glorious scene."
"It seems too square, if some curves are more perfect..."
The Parisians were completely conquered by the tanks that were too gorgeous, and at that moment, they seemed to have forgotten that they were participating in the aggressor's entering the city.
The romantic French found that they were attracted to everything they saw this morning, and the kind of sensory stimulation and spiritual shock that they had never had made them intoxicated.
In today's fall of Paris, they should express their sorrow and humiliation, but now they express a kind of joy and excitement like a holiday.
"Dougan, this is the nature of the French. They are easily moved by some gorgeous or spectacular scenes, even if they are their own enemies. They were like this as early as the Hundred Years War, and they will be amazed even when they run away. Behind the magnificent war scene.
This is a nation that loves beautiful things. It is romantic, full of passion, and loves art. There is no lack of courage, pride, and honor. Of course, there are also some scattered and lack of kāo due to excessive pursuit of temptation. "
Reinhardt looked at the excited Parisians on the roadside through the car window. He casually carried a glass of red wine leaning on the armrest of the seat and said lightly.
"I think your assessment is very appropriate. I find it really difficult for me to raise a sense of hatred against these Germany's biggest enemies, although I have always hated this country that crushed us with the Treaty of Versailles."
"Our biggest enemy is not France, my dear Dougan. Our biggest enemy is on the other side of the strait, and our only goal now is to defeat Britain completely. Then..."
Reinhardt lifted his glasses and looked away through the car window.
"What then, my head."
"Then, give Europe real peace."
Reinhardt smiled, turning his head to look at Dougan.
"Hope..."
"Yes, I hope your goal can be achieved as soon as possible, my head." Dao Gen replied respectfully.
