Chapter 327

On October 8, 1939, when Army Group C of the Third Reich and three armies of the Regimental Army Group and an armored group besieged the Maginot Line, Army Group A of the Third Reich and the main force of Army Group B also began their attack on Iron Tower City.

During the last world war, the armies of the Second Empire had already reached a place only a few dozen kilometers away from the Iron Tower City. But in the end, they still fell short and failed to break through the Iron Tower City.

Although the Second Empire once fired artillery shells at the Iron Tower City with long-range artillery, the damage to the Iron Tower City was minimal.

Now, the Third Reich finally had the opportunity to attack Iron Tower City again, and naturally it would not let this opportunity pass.

To defeat the Gallic Kingdom and make the Gallic Kingdom admit defeat, the Iron Tower City is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed and must be captured.

Taking the Iron Tower City would be an unspeakable blow to the morale of the Gallic soldiers. By then, it is estimated that most of the Gauls will admit defeat. This war may be considered over.

General Desteter, commander of Army Group A, and General Fedor von Bock, commander of Army Group B, specifically discussed the attack on Tower City.

In this attack on Iron Tower City, Army Group A invested three armies and an armored group army, and Army Group B invested two armies and one army group. Although the total strength is only a few million people.

Compared with the 1.6 million people of the four armies of the Gallic Kingdom assembled in the Iron Tower City, the troops invested by the Third Reich were only 60% of the Gauls.

However, the generals of the Third Reich were full of confidence in this battle.

Almost everyone thought they would win. Even if the Gauls had a military advantage, they were definitely no match for the Third Reich.

Even the Gauls had this view. They themselves did not believe that they could withstand the attack of the Third Reich. After all, the troops of the Third Reich were too powerful in this battle. So much so that the Gauls have been frightened, or they have developed a psychological shadow, and no longer have the courage to continue fighting the Third Reich. Even though they have assembled a large number of troops, their fighting will is already very fragile.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to say how much combat effectiveness can be exerted.

"General Rundstedt, the troops of our army group will detour from the east and west sides, surround the Iron Tower City, and annihilate the 1.6 million Gallic troops there. If the Gallic army here is lost, the country of Gaul will be completely finished. We will win this battle. In the last world war, No. 2 was able to capture the Iron Tower City. This time, we can definitely capture the Iron Tower City and destroy the Gaul Kingdom!"Admiral Fedor von Bock built.

General Rundstedt smiled and then said:"General Bock, I personally think that fighting an encirclement and annihilation war is better than fighting a pursuit war. After all, Iron Tower City is a big city. If we completely surround Iron Tower City, the Gaulish troops stationed there may fight to the death once we engage in an urban street battle with the Gauls. Then we may have to pay a lot of losses. Although our military has been trained in street fighting, we have to admit that street fighting is undoubtedly very brutal. Once the Gallic army does not collapse, we will inevitably pay a heavy price in the Iron Tower City."

"General Rundstedt, you are worrying too much. The Gauls have been frightened by us, and they may not have the courage to continue fighting with us. Therefore, there is absolutely no need to take this into account. As long as we can surround Iron Tower City, they will inevitably collapse or even surrender to us."Admiral Fedor von Bock looked very confident.

"No, General Bock, we must not underestimate the determination of the Gauls. After all, the Iron Tower City is the capital of the Gauls and the symbol of the Gallic Kingdom. We cannot underestimate the determination of the Gauls to defend the Tower City. If we launch a powerful offensive against Iron Tower City and leave a way for them to retreat at the same time. I think the Gauls will definitely seize this opportunity and retreat south. Once the Gauls retreat, they will face the pursuit of our powerful armored forces. In the field, with our powerful armored forces and air force, we can defeat the Gauls more easily and eat them all."Admiral Rundstedt told everything about his plan.

Admiral Fedor von Bock thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Well, General Rundstedt, you've convinced me, let's act on your plan!" said General Fedor von Bock.

"General Bock, then in our name, please submit it to the Supreme Command for approval!"Admiral Rundstedt smiled.

Fedor von Bock nodded and had no objections to this. The

High Command of the Third Reich is expected to approve the plan to attack the Tower City proposed by the frontline generals.

And , requiring the Imperial Air Force to fully cooperate with the attack on Iron Tower City.

Air Force Commander General Milch and Deputy Commander General Kesselin promised that in the attack on Iron Tower City, the Air Force will invest no less than a thousand fighter planes of various types. Launch a bombing of the Iron Tower City.

Now the Gallic Air Force has been completely eliminated. The air superiority belongs entirely to the Third Reich Air Force. What they have to guard against now is nothing else except the ground firepower of the Gauls. The threat.

On October 8, the Third Reich's attack on Iron Tower City began.

The Third Reich's 1st Armored Army, 2nd Armored Army, and a full 7 armored divisions began to attack Iron Tower City.

Although, from The current line of control of the Third Reich army is still hundreds of kilometers away from the Iron Tower City, but to the Third Reich Army with its powerful armored forces, this is nothing at all. The five infantry armies are followed by Launch an attack behind the armored forces. You must know that even these infantry armies also have powerful armored forces. Even the armored forces of the five infantry armies add up to a total of fifty tank battalions and more than 3,000 vehicles. Tanks. Of course, until now, these tank battalions are not full. Even so, there are more than 2,000 tanks, which is not something the Gauls, whose armored forces have almost lost, can fight against. _See no underline For version novels, please download Feilu Novel A
