Chapter 252(2/2)
Behind them, artillery was ready and waiting.
As long as someone shoots at the infantry, they will shoot the guy who shot to pieces!
Under this tactic, the German army made rapid progress in the Battle of Warsaw. In just one week, it occupied one-third of Warsaw.
And this third of the city of Warsaw has basically become rubble.
This also made the remaining citizens of Warsaw look like children. If they don't surrender, this will be the end. Not only will their houses be lost, but their lives will also be lost.
A week later, people in Warsaw began to surrender.
But most of these people are old people and children!
The Germans did quite well. Not only did they provide food and drink for these old people and children, they also sent them to live in the countryside of Poland.
They also took out food from the occupied granaries to help these people survive this cold winter.
There are benefits to surrender, and this is what everyone is looking forward to.
Everyone in Warsaw knows that it is almost impossible to have allies to rescue them. France, which has a sworn relationship with Poland, is now unable to protect itself.
Some senior leaders in Warsaw have been in private contact with the German army and want to discuss surrender terms.
Just as the Battle of Warsaw was in full swing, France and Germany finally had a falling out in Brussels.
The two sides were at odds, and the German army first attacked the troops withdrawing from Russia to France in Alsace and Lorraine.
Due to insufficient capacity, French army trains were packed like sardine cans.
The scene of the attack was extremely tragic. The Germans had planted bombs on the railway tracks in advance.
After the locomotive passed by, it detonated in the second carriage.
After the railway track was blown apart, the remaining carriages immediately derailed.
The French soldier inside the car was beaten to pieces, and he tried his best to open the car. As soon as he got out, he was violently attacked by the German Maxim.
Many Maxims were arranged just over 200 meters away from the carriages.
The thin iron sheet of the canister train cannot stop bullets at all.
Bullets flew across the canister train full of people, and the blood that flowed out dyed the river red.
The worst thing was that those who were crushed below were crushed to death because they could not open the door of the canister train.
This time the Germans went to extreme lengths. Not only did they attack the train, they also deployed chlorine gas bombs and stuffed them into every carriage.
Even if they were not beaten to death, crushed to death or suffocated to death, they would still be smoked to death by chlorine gas bombs.
In just over two hours, two thousand living people turned into corpses.
When the news broke, the public was in an uproar. The Germans would never admit that they were responsible, and they blamed the Ming army task force that had infiltrated.
The French insisted that it was the Germans who did it. They also took out the bullet casings left at the scene and unexploded chlorine gas bombs as evidence.
The Germans retorted that someone was framing the case and asked the EU to conduct a joint investigation.
The two sides quarreled, and the media and people of the two countries also quarreled.
Soon, friction broke out on the border. In Alsace, a French patrol attacked a German patrol, causing more than a dozen German casualties!
According to French media, these German soldiers were provocative and urinated on the French patrol.
Soldiers from both sides first had a physical conflict, and then opened fire.
It is impossible to verify who fired the first shot. Anyway, after this conflict, the armed conflict between the two sides immediately escalated.
From the squad level, he quickly rose to the battalion and company level.
Within three or two days, the armed conflict evolved into a group army-level battle.
On one side are the French troops who have just returned from the battlefield in Eastern Europe, and on the other side are the German troops who have just been transferred back from Smolensk.
A few months ago they were allied forces, but now they were beaten to a bloody pulp.
As soon as the war began, the French army showed signs of fatigue.
After all, France's national power is now much weaker than before.
Moreover, during the two years of war, because the Germans were engaged in civil strife, the actual losses on the battlefield were not very large.
But the French army was different. Napoleon had devoted himself wholeheartedly to fighting the Ming Empire in the past two years.
Whether it was the tragic Battle of Tsaritsyn or the two battles of Kharkov, the French army and the Ming army fought bloody battles, causing huge casualties to the Ming army and also causing heavy casualties to themselves.
Coupled with several years of war, France's economy has been pushed to the brink of collapse. France is increasingly unable to cope with this Franco-German war.
