Paris Garrison Headquarters, the headquarters located underground, has poor air circulation, which makes it feel a little stuffy after staying here for a long time. Although the ventilation system has been modified, it also leaves a lot to be desired.
However, in general, staying in the underground command is much safer than fighting the Germans on the ground.
The German army bombarded the city of Paris violently, and some shells also hit the building on the underground headquarters, and the entire building collapsed. However, the reinforced basement was not affected by this, which shows how strong the defense here is, and this also made the officers of the British and French allied forces working here feel relieved.
However, this only means that they live a little longer than the British and French forces stationed outside. Once the defense line on the ground was broken by the German army, the whole of Paris fell into the hands of the German army, and they also had nowhere to hide.
"Your Excellency, the German offensive is very fierce, and the troops on the front line have lost a lot. If this continues, we may soon be unable to resist." Alan Bi, commander of the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force, went up Will complain.
In just two days, his troops lost more than 20% of their strength. If this continues, his troops will be wiped out in a few days. At that time, he will become a polished commander. This is undoubtedly unacceptable to Admiral Allenby.
"General Allenby, the whole of Paris is being attacked by the Germans in all directions, and nowhere is safe. Our losses are also very large." Admiral Gallieni sighed. The losses of his 10th Army were no less than those of the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force. It's just that he persevered. What's more, he is also very clear about the performance of the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force on the battlefield. However, for the sake of the overall situation, he didn't say all of these. After all, among the troops defending Paris, the 4th Army of the British Expeditionary Force is also an indispensable and important force. If the two had a conflict because of this, it would be very detrimental to the ensuing battle.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we have lost more than 20% of the urban area. Moreover, as our space for activities continues to be squeezed, the German offensive is becoming more and more fierce. Our losses are also increasing. Soaring. If this continues, we may not be able to last for a week." Admiral Allenby sighed. Obviously, he has no confidence in the next battle.
Actually, not only Admiral Allenby has no confidence in the upcoming battle, but Admirals Gallieni and Despere also don't have much confidence. The strength shown by the Germans in the battle shocked them greatly. In the field before, it can also be said that the strength of the German army is mainly due to their armored forces. However, in the urban street fighting, the German armored units were not dispatched. But the British and French allied forces still could not resist the German attack. Even though, they had made a large number of deployments in Paris in advance. But in front of the German army, it still seemed so vulnerable.
"General Allenby, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable to us. However, we must persevere. Even if we persevere for one more day, it is good, and it is beneficial to both of us." Galliere Admiral Ni said.
Admiral Allenby nodded. The feeling of stepping towards death made him almost collapse. Of course, Admiral Allenby had already made up his mind, even in the next battle, they all failed. However, he will definitely not die. He will not fight to the death like these Frenchmen. After all, this was Paris, and he was British, a noble general of the British Army.
After Admiral Allenby left, the expressions of Admiral Gallieni and Admiral Despere were a little gloomy.
"Your Excellency, that guy Allenby is a little shaken." Admiral Despere said.
"It was unavoidable. The Germans were attacking too hard, and we could not hold them back. Anyone can feel that way when there is no hope in sight. We are, however, of the French Republic." Soldiers, the British can despair, but we cannot. For the French Republic, we must persevere!" Admiral Gallieni said.
Admiral Despere nodded. Indeed, the British can despair, but they cannot. In the defense of Paris, the British were unlikely to be reliable. However, they themselves need to do their best. Otherwise, once they lose the courage to continue fighting, Paris may fall soon.
The fierce attack of the German army caused heavy losses to the British and French allied forces defending Paris. In the face of the onslaught of the German army, it was impossible for the British and French allied forces to resist tenaciously. Not even a counterattack could be done. Especially the British Expeditionary Force, once they suffered heavy losses, they retreated immediately. Unlike the French army, which occasionally fought to the death.
The French government has fled to Orleans, France. And, after taking a short break here, we will continue to head south. There are two destinations for them, one is Bordeaux and the other is Toulouse. In the eyes of these senior officials of the French government, the farther south they go, the safer they are, so that they can be farther away from those devil-like Germans.
"Your Excellency, how is the battle in Paris?" President Poincaré asked.
"Your Excellency, the fierce battle is still going on. The Germans were not fooled. They used a lot of heavy artillery and aircraft in their attack on Paris. Under the fierce German attack, Paris was almost in ruins." Minister of War Alexander Millerand was sentimental.
President Poincaré, even more so, a trace of ending flashed across his face. He knew that the battle in Paris must be very difficult. This undoubtedly means that it is impossible for the British and French allied forces to defend Paris. The future of France will be bleak.
Even President Poincaré regretted it a little. If he had made peace with the Germans when the previous battle failed, Paris might be able to keep it, at least it would not be destroyed by the Germans like it is now.
It's a pity that it's too late to say this now. They chose to continue to resist, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue fighting. Until one day, there is really no other way.
