Maginot line, even ordinary people know that it can be bypassed. Why can't the French think of it?

Maginot line, like the Great Wall of China in the eyes of the French at that time, was called impregnable, also known as the pride of the French. However, this extremely strong maginot line did not play its due role after the outbreak of World War II, and the French were slapped in the face.

After the outbreak of World War II, Germany also knew the solidity of maginot line, so it bypassed this line of defense, broke through the Ardennes forest in the northeast of France, and went around the back of maginot line. The French army was caught off guard. Then, a few weeks later, France surrendered, and this costly defense line became a decoration.

However, is maginot line really a joke bought by the French?

The French have always been an excellent nation in history. As a big country in Europe, France has never lacked talents. Of course, they knew that the Germans would bypass maginot line's attack. France, as its own country, has several gaps, and they know better than Germany where to build a defense line.

So, in fact, the French practice at that time was that there were two doors in a room, and they only locked one door and left the other unlocked. Why are you doing this?

We know that Germany did not invade from the French border in World War I. They bypassed the border and launched attacks from the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium. Are they German, too? Project schruifen? . Here's a question. Where was maginot line built?

It is located on the border between France and Germany. According to the logic of ordinary people, Germany attacked from northern France in World War I, so maginot line should be built in the north. But the French just ran to the east and south to push maps and build walls to build defense lines. Isn't this a waste of time?

Therefore, the only explanation for France's practice is that they know the subsequent development of the war, and all this is intentional. There are two doors in this room in France, one is locked and the other is unlocked. The locked door is maginot line, and the unlocked door is for thieves to go? Germany? Come on in.

Don't understand? Let me give you an example. Israel fixed it? Whale line?

1967, after the end of the third Middle East War, Israel occupied the Sinai Peninsula, and now there is only the Suez Canal between them and Egypt. Both sides understand that the war is not over yet, so everyone is preparing during the break, and Israel is busy repairing the defense line, right? Whale line? .

Surprisingly, instead of building reinforced concrete defense lines, Israel directly piled sand walls 60 meters high and 175 kilometers long. Israel believes that the desert area is sandy, which can not only save money, but also resist the modern army. Because sand is soft, no matter people, tanks, armored vehicles, etc. Once you go up, you will sink in and can't move, even if the cannon hits the sand, it won't cause any power.

But this imaginary perfect sand wall was dramatically conquered by the Egyptian army. At first, the Egyptian army also said that it could do nothing about the sand wall, until an Egyptian engineer found that the sand collapsed while watering the flowers. Egyptian army executives immediately understood this truth, so they bought 450 ultra-high pressure pumps from Britain and Germany.

The attack of the Egyptian army began because it was a Jew that day? Yom kippur? National holidays in Israel include soldiers. Now they think that the Palestinian defense line can perfectly stop the attack of the Egyptian army, so there are no soldiers in the whole defense line. The Egyptian army did not abide by any battlefield rules and pumped water directly from the Suez Canal to the sand wall without saying hello.

In just five hours, 60 holes were punched in the Palestinian defense line, and then the Egyptian army broke through the Palestinian defense line, and the Egyptian high-level officials felt full of confidence. There is a problem from here. In everyone's opinion, Balaf's defense line is actually built of sand, which is a waste of time, even though he spends little money.

But in the following story, we will find that this sand force is the real situation of Israel and the key to winning the Israeli war.

On the day of the attack in Egypt, because? Yom kippur? The reason is that there are only 460 soldiers guarding the sand wall, while the number of Egyptian troops has reached 3 1 10,000. If they all attack, it is impossible for a few Israelis to hold the 175 km defense line. Because of the sand wall, the Egyptian army rushed 60 gaps, but it was precisely because of this gap that the Egyptian army was forced to divide into small units and attack from the gap, so Egypt could not give full play to its numerical advantage.

By the time the Egyptian army finally broke through this line of defense, Israel had assembled its troops, surrounded the exits with more local troops than Egypt, and then fired at the Egyptian soldiers who rushed out of the gap. In addition, Baleff's defense line is not just a checkpoint, but the whole defense line is 16 km deep. Now that the Egyptian army has entered the defense line, it is not easy to retreat, otherwise the risk will be even greater. In this case, they could only move forward under the bullets of Israel, but they did so for six days.

Six days is not a long time, but it is too long for the ever-changing battlefield situation. In six days, the Israeli army won the Northern Line War. They mobilized troops to gather in the south and surrounded the Egyptian army in Jiaozhou. Since then, the fourth Middle East War ended in Israel's victory.

From this example, we can see the significance of the Palestinian Israeli defense line. Their purpose is not to keep the enemy out with a solid line of defense, but to deliberately expose a loophole to the enemy and let him go in and fight. The meaning of sand wall is to trap the enemy in a narrow space, limit the ability of large-scale operations, and then wait for him to be destroyed.

Understand the purpose of Balaf's defense, and then look back at maginot line. In fact, the French thought was similar at that time.

During World War I, Germany attacked from Holland and Belgium, and as a result, it hit the French defense. Then the two sides fought for four years and finally Germany was defeated.

Therefore, the purpose of the French construction of maginot line is not to stop the German attack, but to let the Germans know that this line of defense is too strong. Come in from other places and we'll wait for you. It's like the owner catching a thief, deliberately locking one door of the room and leaving the other door unlocked, in order to let the thief come in through the unlocked door and then catch a turtle in the jar.

France fought Germany back before World War I was fully prepared. In World War II, the British and French allied forces prepared 3.3 million troops. As long as Germany followed the French plan, it could fight the Germans again. This script was tailored by France for Germany, so maginot line was just a cover for Germany to enter France from Belgium and Holland according to the route of World War I, and then wait for him to destroy the Germans.

But there was a problem in the middle of the French script. They didn't expect that the Germans were smart this time and didn't follow their own script. They actually appeared from the Ardennes forest, which completely caught the French off guard. All the ideas of the French were disturbed by the unconventional cards of the Germans.

Now, when we look back on maginot line, where the people of China invested heavily, we will find their painstaking efforts. In fact, the significance of this line of defense is that we don't want the Germans to break it so easily. If the Germans want to break through this line of defense by force, they will inevitably pay huge casualties, so the Germans must make a detour.

This is why maginot line exists. The French didn't set up this defense line to keep the enemy out and sit back and relax. They actually want the enemy to follow their own scripts. Although the French plan failed, maginot line's goal was actually achieved. The Germans did bypass this line of defense, but they didn't attack from Belgium and Holland.

Generally speaking, maginot line is not meaningless, its own value has been reflected, and it is not a decoration, so the French people are not stupid, but smart.
