Chapter 90 Josie's Worries
Paris is quite far from the Maginot-Siegfried line of defense, more than 300 kilometers away.
But this distance is only a short distance for the Air Force.
At the end of World War II, not to mention bombers and transport aircraft, even fighter jets had a combat radius close to or even exceeding a thousand kilometers.
Even the German BF109, which has always been criticized for its short legs, has a combat radius far beyond 300 kilometers.
In just over half an hour, the first batch of more than 3,000 fighter-bombers and heavy bombers had already flown to the two lines of defense, and began carpet bombing all the German fortifications on the ground.
At the same time, the heavy artillery units of the Allied Forces who had already arrived at the front line ahead of time and had been hidden also lifted their camouflage at this time and began to cooperate with the air force's actions, making a huge roar.
Hundreds of thousands of aerial bombs and artillery shells were thrown onto the German positions in this way.
At this time, the German troops on the two lines of defense were completely confused.
Because just before the start of this operation, the "main force" of the Allied forces was still launching a fierce attack on Belgium, so why did they suddenly attack the west?
But it's useless for them to be ignorant, because aerial bombs and artillery shells won't reason with you.
Although these two lines of defense were once claimed to be unfallible.
But in fact, both its military thinking and its design style are actually outdated.
Facing the carpet bombing of the Allied forces, it did not play the expected protective role. Just the first wave of bombing caused extremely heavy casualties to the German troops stationed there.
Of course, if the Allies are outdated, it would be delusional if the Allies only wanted to defeat these two lines of defense with such bombing... In the history of the original time and space, these two lines of defense also delayed the Allies for several months. The main attack direction of the army is not related to this side.
After the first wave of bombing, the bombers retreated, leaving behind smoke and wreckage all over the ground.
The surviving German army cautiously poked its head out of the fortifications, preparing to repair the fortifications.
But at this moment, countless buzzing sounds resounded in the sky.
The second batch of more than a thousand medium bombers from the Allied Forces has arrived!
For this operation, the United Kingdom, the United States, and even France, took out all their assets and used more than 5,000 transport planes, more than 2,000 gliders, and more than 8,000 fighter jets and bombers (this is called Historical data of the Allied attack on Belgium-Netherlands' Market Garden operation).
The German army who drilled out of the fortifications on the ground did not react, and was once again baptized by terrifying aerial bombs.
The fortifications that were beyond recognition in the first round of bombing were even more horrible after the second round of bombing.
But this time, the German army learned to be smart and did not come out immediately, but continued to wait in the fortifications.
Only this time, they wanted to go wrong.
Because the third echelon arrived not with bombers, but with fighter escorts, overwhelming transport planes and gliders.
These planes directly flew over the two lines of defense, entered the Baden-Wurttemberg area, and dropped tens of thousands of white umbrella flowers. More than 35,000 people, 568 artillery pieces, 1,927 military vehicles, and 5,230 tons of materials were successfully dropped on the road leading to along the lines of Bavaria.
Except for a few unlucky ones who were hit by anti-aircraft fire, or hung on trees when they landed, the Allied airborne troops hardly suffered much loss.
What? Germany's Air Force?
Sorry, since the Allied forces landed, the German army has almost lost its air supremacy.
The remaining air force cannot cause too much hindrance to the Allied air force.
What's more, the home of the German army and Hydra was blown up as soon as the Allied forces took action.
The remaining hundreds of thousands of Bavarian legions on the German side and the more than 300,000 Hydra legions in Austria launched a coup, tied white cloths on their arms, and began to rush towards Baden-Württemberg.
The garrison in the Baden-Wurttemberg region is mobilizing troops to try to encircle and suppress the U.S. airborne troops that have just landed. They did not expect an attack from behind at all, and it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack.
The German army, the rebel army, and the allied army are intertwined with each other, and the entire northwest of Shanxi, ah no, the entire state of Baden-Wurttemberg has become a mess.
Speaking of it, Baden-Wurttemberg is only more than 30,000 square kilometers, only one-fifth of the size of Xishan Province.
In addition, I don’t know how advanced weapons and equipment are.
Tsk tsk, this fight is a lot of fun.
By the time Mustache and Red Skull reacted, it was too late.
Moustache, who had already been weakened to the extreme, could no longer draw enough troops to fight the Ardennes counterattack like the original time and space.
On the other side, the Red Skull's Hydra Legion had enough power to counterattack.
But during the same period, the two regions to which the Hydra Legion belongs-Romania and Hungary also jumped back.
However, although these two are very close to Austria, their rebound has nothing to do with the Allies, but was instigated by Mao Xiong.
Originally, the main force of the Hydra Legion and Mao Xiong fought fiercely on Ermao's territory.
These two jumped back and directly cut off the Hydra Legion's retreat.
Now that the Red Skull didn't care about counterattack, it could only retreat hastily. Before the retreat was completely cut off, it retreated to Croatia and Slovenia, preparing to rely on the natural dangers of the Alps.
At this time, the Red Skull has realized that relying on conventional combat is powerless, so he began to gather all the remaining troops, and began to step by step, enclosing all defense lines like iron barrels.
Concentrate all resources at the same time and order Dr. Zola to speed up the manufacture of Rubik’s cube energy super bombs and Valkyrie strategic bombers—if they can’t fight head-on, they can only rely on super weapons to blow up the world.
For a lunatic like the Red Skull, peace talks are impossible. Only by blowing up all the big cities in the United States can he maintain his life and give him a chance to make a comeback.
It's just that the Allies didn't know it.
Under the right time, place, and people, in just one week, the Allied forces completed the planned strategic goal, flanked back and forth, broke through two famous lines of defense, and completed the alliance between the Allied forces and the Hydra rebels.
After completing the scheduled goals, the Allied forces did not continue to advance aggressively.
Because, just like the Normandy landing, there are still a large number of scattered German troops scattered on this front, not every month, I am afraid that they will not be able to pay them all.
But in general, the high-level Allied forces have begun to look forward to the end of the war.
But compared to the optimistic high-ranking allied forces, Josie was a little worried at this time.
Others don't know about Red Skull's super weapon, but he does.
That is something more terrifying than nuclear bombs... Nuclear bombs are scary, but apart from the core explosion area, there are still some corpses left in places a little farther away.
But if the super bomb made by the cosmic Rubik's Cube energy of the Red Skull is dropped, the whole city may really have nothing left.
If the history of this world has not changed much, then Josie may still be able to wait for the US team to solve the Red Skull and laugh at the frozen Arctic Ocean.
But now, this history has changed beyond recognition... If it was only the coups in Austria and Bavaria, the Red Skull may not necessarily jump the wall in a hurry.
But now that the Red Skull has almost lost even the Balkans in advance, the situation is different.
What if the Red Skull dog thingy finishes the development of super weapons ahead of schedule, and then bombs the continental United States ahead of schedule?
To be honest, whether the US team will be frozen like the original time and space is actually not important to Josie.
At best, he is just a super soldier. Except for its timeliness, the beast medicine is not much weaker than the opponent, but with the blessing of numbers, the US team is not invincible.
What's more, with Yuri's ability, it will be a matter of time before a better super soldier potion is developed.
But if the United States is bombed by the Red Skull, it will be a big deal.
Josie doesn't care how many ordinary Americans die, but his wives and unborn children are still in the United States.
Let Margot transfer? What the hell, the child is more than seven months old now, what should I do if something happens on the road?
No, Josie felt that he had to find a way to reveal the news that the Red Skull had a super weapon.
Depressed, I only found out after the update yesterday that the requirement for the explosive update event is to order more than 1,000 books before the 10th. I am on the shelf on the 13th, and I am not eligible to participate at all...
