I don’t know from whom the first British soldier lost his gun. A moment ago, he dreamed of breaking through the German defense and retaking his hometown. At this moment, the young man lost all his courage to escape and chose to be a shameful prisoner.
A young British soldier held his face and began to cry. He seemed sad that he didn’t take back Norich. It seemed that he was weak and could cry, but for him, the battle was over, and it was over the moment he lost his weapon.
"chug! Chug! " Suddenly the gun went off, and a young German platoon leader was smoking a light smoke in his hand. Not far away, two British soldiers were knocked over. Everyone stared at the gun, and the German platoon leader said in light German, "Smile J …"
Chapter 432 432 chess
Now Montgomery finally knows what it’s like to be caught in street fighting. His troops in Norich fought hard all afternoon, and three bodies were lost in the suburbs, but even the urban area failed to attack.
Only at this time did he know that the German army showed great fighting power in the first tough battle in Norich, waiting for terror. He failed to break through the peripheral defense line at noon, and it took the German army an hour and 23 minutes to snatch it from the British team.
Suddenly, he has an impulse to swear, and he wants to swear at the intelligence personnel who are responsible for the evaluation of German combat effectiveness! He really wanted to arrest all the officials and kick them and ask them what they were doing when they rearmed the Germans!
The impulse to swear and the idea of hitting people emerged together, and there was still a trace of admiration in his mind. He was a little admired by De Gaulle Pei, who had boarded the ship for the United States. He dared to take the initiative to counterattack such a German army so many times.
Of course, if we go deeper into his heart, we can find envy. He envies those who have such troops and are eager to sit in the headquarters like rundstedt, so that such a powerful army can destroy the city and pull out the village and be invincible.
Soon, the two sides fought fiercely again all night. All night, the British army fought with the Germans, and the next morning, the British army still gained nothing in Norich.
The German A Regiment will naturally not wait and die. rundstedt dispatched reinforcements to gather near Norich. At 15 pm, the two-wing Germans took the lead in showing their counterattack and encirclement. At noon, the British troops cut into the suburbs of Norich. About seven British soldiers surrendered to Britain and attacked Norich in an attempt to go bankrupt completely.
However, Britain did not gain anything. Later that day, the German army was forced to give up Daya Bay under strong pressure, and this city became the first British garrison to recapture a British city from German-controlled areas. This move gave the British government a little confidence. Prime Minister Churchill also delivered a famous speech "From Bunge to Daya Bay", which became world-famous.
"General, the German army Norich counterattacked the collapse of our army line and is now returning to Bangji Road. If the Yarmouth troops don’t shrink back to Los tofte, there will probably be problems." The adjutant stared at the map uneasily and said.
Montgomery shook his head and sighed, "You’re wrong. Problems are inevitable. Now they can stay there. Once the weather improves, the German troops will be able to cover their ground forces and surround Los tofte. Once Los tofte is trapped, can the Yarmouth troops be independent?"
"That … general, we should let Daya Portsmouth troops retreat back to Los tofte! Somehow can also strengthen a los tofte defense … "Adjutant hurriedly remonstrated" otherwise we will lose los tofte ".
"If we do this, then we will not only lose Los tofte, but also lose Bunge, Ipswich, Aldeburg and Berry Saint edmonds!" Montgomery said with a wry smile
The adjutant was stunned and then looked at Montgomery. "How is that possible?"
"The king has just commended me for the just-customized British Empire War Medal … Mr. Prime Minister delivered a speech from Bunge to Daya Bay on the streets of London. They regarded this counterattack victory as an important milestone to inspire the people to continue their resistance. If we just shouted that Britain would quit Daya Bay when it won, would I still be able to keep my position as commander-in-chief at the front?"
He pointed to the map and said, "once they drive me away, no matter which idiot it is, he will be forced to attack the line under the double pressure of the prime minister and the king, and then we will be really finished!" "
"They have to do this at this time? Make fun of the future of the British Empire? " The adjutant couldn’t believe his ears. The group of bosses who fought to the death in front of them actually saved face and made the situation at the front worse. What is the reason?
"The reason is very simple! The first is to call the United States to let aid and support continue; The second is to call the colonies to reassure India and Canada; The third is to call the people to let the British people have more confidence in the war. "Montgomery held out three fingers. A general saw that the abacus in the minds of the adults behind these three points would be more sufficient, and the loss of 30,000 to 50,000 troops in the front line was just a number for those tall gentlemen.
Sadly, like those soldiers who fought bloody battles at the front, they are just a chess game, but those soldiers can sacrifice their chess game at any time, and their chess game is even bigger, so that those chess players can’t bear to give up easily. If they want to continue not to be abandoned, they must train themselves out of their consciences and send them to the front to die.
"So what do we do now? Can’t we find a way to withdraw the Daya Bay troops? That’s a full 20 thousand people! " Adjutant asked lovingly
Montgomery fidgety with the wave "if I make sure my position is not only won’t withdraw those troops but also fill in 20000 people! It’s best to make Yarmouth a second Norich. "
"General!" The adjutant blurted out, "You can’t do this."
"But I know I can’t do this. If I do this, the 7 th Army will be completely finished. If the 7 th Army is finished, our situation will be even more difficult." Montgomery seems to be talking to himself. "But what can I do to keep Daya Maojian for three days?"
Silence There is a terrible silence left in the British frontline command.
……
Several British soldiers in hands in the air, wait for a while, looked down at two former comrades-in-arms, and then looked at the young German platoon leader with scars on his face and assault rifles in his hands.
"That’s enough! You guys send these surrendered British soldiers to the prison camp in the back! " The captain of the assault gun who hit the hatch called Lald lifted the hatch cover and shouted to the young platoon leader
Several German soldiers rushed to escort the frightened British soldiers who had lost their weapons to the rear. About dozens of British prisoners Cui Tou lined up in frustration and passed by the young platoon leader who was still carrying assault rifles.
"Smoking?" Lald repackaged a pack of French cigarettes, pulled out one and handed it to the young comrade-in-arms. The platoon leader put the assault rifle behind his back and then took the cigarette from his old friend and put it to his mouth.
"I brought 14 people, count me as 15. They killed my hand and dared to laugh at me …" The young platoon leader chanted that he lit the cigarette and then found a big stone to sit on. At this time, he brought more than a dozen soldiers, and the remaining seven people gathered around him and became a small circle.
"Smoke!" Lald didn’t talk nonsense. Seven people each took one with their own cigarette hair bands. Two of them had the cheek to take two. Soon, the soldiers who were lucky enough to live in these battlefields squatted together and smoked, and then after a few minutes, they forgot the laughter of their dead comrades and celebrated their victory.
Lald walked back to his assault gun and looked out to help him alert the gunners around. Then he climbed into the narrow command cabin with this low assault gun. He took the bus as the captain and looked at his hands. "The car went back to the camp to replenish an ammunition. I heard that the British stopped attacking. I don’t know what’s going on."
"It’s not like it’s enough for us to fight every encounter with those generals." The gunner said with a smile that their assault guns came to see them on the spur of the moment and then turned the tide. This is not an accident, but the reason why elite troops can be called elite troops.
These soldiers have integrated Ruzhan into their souls. They can smell danger with a sniff, and they can feel the direction of the enemy’s attack with their eyes narrowed. This assault gun gave up the simplicity of shelling, and then communicated with the frontline troops and rushed here to fight a beautiful blockade.
Then came the surprising news from the A regiment headquarters. attack force, England, was surrounded by German armored forces on both wings. Thousands of troops surrendered, and even the first armored division commander of the frontline commander entered the prison camp.
If rundstedt doesn’t make a counterattack at this time, his regiment commander will be at the end. A regiment immediately launched a counterattack and attacked the British troops in Daya Maugham later that afternoon. However, due to the weather, the German army still couldn’t dispatch its own fighters to watch its army troops fight bloody battles at the front.
However, the A Regiment did not disappoint arcado or rundstedt. They held on to most of their defensive positions and lost a town-Daya Mouth in rainy days.
On this day, the British Navy Queen Elizabeth shelled the artificial wharf on the German pontoon bridge, causing the sinking of two German fishing boats, destroying several German coastal defense positions in southern Buckton and injuring a French heavy cruiser, resulting in the death of 11 Vichy French sailors, who became the first soldiers killed in Vichy France in World War II.
Chapter 433 433 Big shot and little guy
Greif, an old man in a small London bar, is drinking with two British naval officers. The whole of London is short of materials now, but the bar owner has a wide range of channels. There are still plenty of wine and food here.
"I heard that the Germans landed?" Master shook his glass in his hand and said to the friend around him, that is, the captain of the submarine the other day, "The world is not so peaceful …"
"A few days ago, I was ordered to go to sea to attack the German transport route, but I was chased by a destroyer and couldn’t come back." The submarine captain sighed and said with a hint of dissatisfaction and bitterness, "Not everyone can be as lucky as Odin."
"The situation on the front line is very bad. Some important materials have been rushed to Liverpool. It is said that ships will be arranged to be shipped to Canada," said the technical officer. "The king ordered all scientists and technicians to report to the government and be ready to leave here at any time."
"Did you remember that plan the other day?" The old man Greif narrowed his eyes and asked
It was the king and the prime minister who ordered the implementation of the plan of silence and rushed all the war resources to Canada, including materials and technicians, drawings, scholars and artistic gold.
"Things are really … I don’t want to beat the Germans, but the escape plan is executed so fast." The submarine captain was obviously dissatisfied with this arrangement of spaghetti, and it made him look down on the coward.
The technical officer spread his hand and said, "Of course, the frontline troops must think about winning the war, but the national leaders must consider how to deal with the worst situation."
What else can I do? Some of the British royal family have fled to Canada and some are going to the Indian Ocean-some royal relatives often attend British public events. They have said more than once that they want the British territory to die together, but almost no one can know that the British royal family will eventually take refuge in Canada by submarine.
The war is expanding in North Africa. The British garrison is attacking the Italian troops and Vichy French government controls the North African colonies. However, De Gaulle and another French North African army were ordered to join the British camp. Two different French government troops fought in Africa and the North African territory was in full swing for a while.
Turkey is continuously sending more troops to the Middle East. Although the preparations for the war are still insufficient and it is not determined to board this thief ship in Germany, every move of a local strongman in the Middle East still makes the British defenders in the Middle East oil region jumpy.
China’s Battlefield Day still stood still against the Soviet Union, but the ground troops, navy and army cooperated to capture China, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. The confrontation between the British defenders made the British people even more frightened. It was the day that they landed in Vietnam and declared the French colony’s formal independence.
"Is the British royal family really going to escape like this?" Lord Griff doesn’t seem to believe that British leaders will give up the British Isles easily.
"Otherwise, what can I do? The Irish side has been flirting with the German government, and it seems that we have reached a consensus on partial cooperation. Naturally, we will not give up easily in the northern mountainous areas, but if we stick to it, there is no specific plan yet. "The technical officer sighed after drinking a mouthful of wine and said," We don’t want to retreat either, but I heard that the Germans have occupied Norich … "
"What? Lost Norich? " Griff was frightened to disgrace and quickly begged the submarine commander on the other side, "bro … can you arrange a boat to Canada? I sold some assets these days and went to another small bar over there … "
"There are ships, and it’s not difficult for you to follow me to Canada … but you don’t know that German submarine activities have been rampant recently, and I’m worried about your safety …" The submarine officer thought about it and replied.
"I can pay a lot of money, but I can’t talk about warships?" Master Griff is a rich man who looks even more afraid of death.
"Look, you said that I heard that you know the personnel department of the Navy … could you please help me build a line to help me talk? Let me go to Canada with my family … I heard that submarines are also needed there." At ordinary times, the captain of the submarine looked honestly and with a patriotic obstinacy, but said something that made the technical officer almost spray water.
"That’s no problem. Will it be all right if I take your submarine with Vicky?" Greif patted the technical officer on the shoulder and said, "We have been friends for ten years, and no one can live without anyone. If it weren’t for little John …"
"Stop it. He died in a national disaster. It’s his honor to propose a toast to little John!" Three men raised their glasses to propose a toast to the captain of the destroyer. The commander of the destroyer, Little John, died in the North Atlantic night two days ago, and his warship was sunk by a German submarine and disappeared into the cold water together.
While the three of them raised their glasses and drank together, another sergeant named John London Defense Command was sitting on a mattress in a hole in his home, staring blankly at two grenades.
This is a self-defense weapon issued by the London Defence Command to the citizens of London, but everyone knows that these weapons come not so much for self-defense as for mutual destruction with the German invaders. John can’t figure out why they have reached such an immortal state with the Germans. Doesn’t the convention say that civilians have the right to be protected?
I can vaguely hear someone sobbing. After all, not everyone is willing to die in vain. John doesn’t know what others think, so he can’t figure out what the king’s position is now meaningless. Is it possible for Britain to win after the war has been fought like this?
