Northern Gaul, Sedan, Headquarters of Army Group A of the Third Reich.

As the war progressed, the Third Reich had achieved a decisive victory in Gaul. Not only did they defeat a large number of Gaulish troops, they also surrounded the main Gaulish army.

Next, as long as the Third Reich eats up the main force of Gaul within the encirclement, more than half of this battle will have been won.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Gauls' counterattack is fierce, and they have begun to fight tooth and nail. The troops on the front line are under great pressure!"General Manstein reported.

General Rundstedt nodded:"It is understandable that if the Gauls do not want to die, they must fight hard. This is also a great test for us. However, I believe that we will be able to hold on to the defense line and firmly block the main force of the Gauls from the defense line."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Army Group B has stepped up its attack on the Gauls.In addition to the 8th Army advancing towards Dunkirk and suppressing the 3rd Army of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, the remaining two armored armies and four infantry armies were all besieging the Gauls."General Manstein said.

The strategic focus of the Third Reich at this stage is to annihilate the Gauls in the encirclement. Only after eating them can the main force of the Third Reich be free to continue attacking the hinterland of Gaul. Launch an attack to destroy Gaul

"As for the Empire where the sun never sets, don’t worry about them for the time being. It is not that easy for the Empire that the Sun Never Sets to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people to its homeland. The navy and air force will do their best to stop them. We must eat the Gauls first, and then we will have the strength to deal with them. This time, both the Gauls and the Empire were dead."General Lundstedt seemed very confident.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"General Manstein nodded.

"After all, the strength of the Gauls in the encirclement is not small. Let our armored forces increase their attack intensity, constantly penetrate and encircle them, divide the Gauls into small units, and annihilate them."Admiral Rundstedt said.

In this battle, the Third Reich's greatest advantage lies in its air force and armored forces. The air power of the Empire and the Gallic Kingdom in Western Europe has almost been solved. Their fighter planes were either destroyed, or the pilots were too frightened to take to the air to fight. So that the Third Reich Air Force could devote all its energy to bombing the ground and supporting the ground troops' attack. As for the armored forces, The same is true. Whether it is the Gauls or the armored forces of the Empire on which the sun never sets, they were all beaten to pieces by the armored forces of the Third Reich on the battlefield and suffered heavy losses. During the battle, the Third Reich must of course use its own forces as much as possible. The advantage has come into play. With powerful air support and armored forces, it can cause greater losses to the Gauls, thereby disintegrating the Gauls' fighting spirit.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, I will pass on the order immediately."General Manstein said.

The Third Reich established a total of 15 armored divisions, and 12 of them were deployed on the Western Front battlefield.

Although the battles in recent days have caused each to lose a lot of tanks. But mainly, The combat power still exists, and there is no problem in continuous operations.

The Logistics Department is already thinking of ways to transport damaged tanks to the front line and replenish them to various units. This will be very helpful in restoring the strength of the armored forces.

The losses of the Third Reich This was mainly caused by mechanical failure. Not many were actually destroyed in the battle. Therefore, the loss of crew members and as long as they were replaced with new tanks, they could immediately drive the tanks into battle.

Lundstedt After the general's order was issued, all seven armored divisions of Army Group A went into the attack.

Originally, the Gauls launched a desperate attack, hoping to break through the Third Reich's defense lines and escape. But they didn't expect it. It was attacked by the armored forces of the Third Reich, which quickly suppressed the Gaulish offensive. Moreover, it was almost crushed by the armored forces of the Third Reich.

"Crunch!"

The tracks of tanks and armored vehicles rolled over the plains of northern Gaul, sweeping towards the Gauls' positions like a torrent of steel.

Facing the attack of the armored forces of the Third Reich, the Gauls, in addition to holding on, There is no other way

"What about anti-tank guns? Pull it up quickly! shouted a Gallic officer.

"Sir, our anti-tank guns were blown up by the Third Reich's air force in previous battles."A soldier replied.

The officer was silent immediately. Without anti-tank guns, how could they deal with the attack of so many tanks of the Third Reich?

"Sir, let's retreat. Once the tanks of the Third Reich rush up, we will be dead!"

"Yes, sir, we are no match for the Third Reich. With their planes in the sky and their tanks and artillery on the ground, it is simply impossible for us to resist their attack. Breaking through is even more impossible!"

The officer hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

With no way to deal with the armored forces of the Third Reich, they directly chose to retreat.

This is not an exception, but a common behavior.

As the war situation changed, the Gallic Kingdom The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable. More and more Gauls have lost confidence and have no courage to continue fighting.

This makes the Third Reich advance very quickly.

Especially relying on a large number of armored troops to continuously break through the Gauls The defense line divided and surrounded the Gallic army in the encirclement.

A large encirclement was divided into several small encirclements.

In the process, many Gauls were defeated and annihilated. At the same time, the morale of the troops They also suffered a nearly devastating blow.

It would undoubtedly be much easier for the Third Reich to annihilate them.

The five armored divisions of Army Group B also participated.

This caused the Gauls in the encirclement to withstand It put a lot of pressure on them.

When large encirclements were separated and more and more Gallic troops were defeated and lost contact with their superiors, it meant that they were about to be eaten by the Third Reich.

A large number of infantry units followed the armored units, specifically attacking the Gauls who had been divided.

Encirclements were eaten one after another, and the losses of the Gauls were increasing. As for the Third Reich, We are getting closer and closer to victory._Fei
