Chapter 2073 Raid 1
(page 1/1)
When the sun rose again, the German Army Group A, which spent a whole night crossing the front line, had almost opened up its posture. A steel forward consisting of more than 1,000 tanks, assault guns, and armored vehicles from 8 armored divisions formed an attack front with a width of tens of kilometers. Behind them were more than 25 German divisions ready to follow up at any time! The first wave of more than 500,000 troops is squeezing through the joint of the British and French allied forces, ready to attack the British's fragile weakness!
Thousands of chariots and tens of thousands of half-tracks and trucks galloped across the vast field, and the smoke from the vehicles even obscured the rising sun. Looking from the air, dozens of gray-black giant steel dragons were galloping crazily on the roads and fields. They made a circle behind the British, and then split into two groups, one of which was galloping towards the north coast. And the other road launched an attack on the unsuspecting British side! From now on, the survival time of the British Expeditionary Force can only be calculated in hours!
"It's the Germans! They've appeared behind us!" When a British officer picked up the phone in fear and reported to his superiors, the roaring shells had already slammed down, and groups of tanks formed an invincible front quickly. Assault, they easily crushed the British line of defense with sandbags and wood hastily piled up, and harvested all the British troops with dense shells and machine gun bullets.
The first to suffer were the British rear depots, warehouses and long-range artillery units! These troops, which did not have to face fierce battles at all, were immediately purged by the Germans!
Thousands of long-range cannons, siege guns and train guns were deployed behind the British defense line. These formidable steel behemoths were originally the backbone of the British defense line. The offensive failed, and the tens of thousands of tons of shells they fired caused the Germans to pay more than 6-figure casualties! And now, these weapons are extremely vulnerable to the German armored forces entering from the rear!
"Our attack has already started, and the front is fully blooming. On the front with a width of at least 10 kilometers, we easily destroy all the British troops we can come across. Their military depots, warehouses, stations and railways are all under our attack. We Like an omnipresent storm tearing everything it touches to shreds!"
"Explosions sounded one after another in a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, and clusters of flames and gunpowder smoke filled the ground. Our army slaughtered opponents as easily as driving tigers into a flock of sheep. We charged, attacked, cut , Surrounded, annihilated, the defense system built by the British for two years fell apart under our attack!" A German officer described the scene at that time in his diary. The British guessed that the Germans would attack, but they didn't expect the Germans to attack so quickly and sharply! In the initial period after the attack began, the German offensive was invincible.
The British finally realized the danger of annihilation. The first thing to react was the air force. They mobilized faster and more maneuverable! And this time, before the British Army organized an effective counterattack, the remaining Royal Army Air Forces had already launched a counterattack first, although in the face of the overwhelming Luftwaffe, this counterattack not only interpreted the heroic fighting of the British There is no other effect besides it!
Hundreds of British planes that have not yet been affected have taken off hastily from various airports. They have no unified command and combat plan, and the weapons they carry are also messy. It is still a lightly protected vehicle. According to the order from above, they only need to throw all their weapons at the German army on the ground.
Then immediately return to the base to reload the ammunition and attack again! However, when these British pilots took off and faced the German army that could be described as a flood, they were completely desperate.
"The gray and black uniforms of the Germans covered almost the entire land. The troops like a tide and the tanks, assault guns, and vehicles mixed with them rushed towards our defense lines with an unstoppable force. These defense lines were easily breached if they were made of paper. , My comrades in the squadron and I flew the plane to attack, we dropped dozens of bombs and knocked out tens of thousands of bullets, but in the face of endless German troops, our little attack was useless.”
"The German counterattack firepower was very fierce. Although they did not deliberately organize air defense, when hundreds of large-caliber machine guns and machine guns were aimed at the sky, the fierce firepower still made us feel desperate! An airtight The King of Fire covered us. Several of my colleagues were easily swallowed like gnats in a spider web, and several bullets pierced my back seat, and I was lucky enough to carry the blood of my comrades and the wobbly The plane went back to the base, and when I got back to the base, an officer gave me a rifle, and he said, my plane can no longer take off, and now you are an infantryman." A British pilot recalled after the war The scene at that time!
The seemingly huge fleet of the British was quickly ignored by the extremely large number of German troops. The German armored troops in the front began to quickly break through the line of defense that divided the British, while in the back, more than a dozen infantry divisions and fast divisions followed the German troops in front. The first task of the Germans was to separate the fourth and fifth armies at the southernmost tip of the British army from the main force of the British army. After the division was completed, Army Group A would continue to attack the remaining three British armies, while Army Group B After the army group arrives from the southern line, it will take over the encirclement of the British fourth and fifth armies, and then slowly eat them up.
When the German Army took advantage of the chaos of the British and killed them, a huge fleet of more than 2,000 planes descended on the heads of the British. The fleet was like a black cloud covering the sky, and the exhaust gas from the aircraft engines remained in the air. Thousands of white trails were laid. Thousands of bombs and thousands of machine guns are constantly harvesting life on the ground like the scythe of death. They leaped over the British front and launched a frantic attack on bridges, stations and roads within the British control group.
"I will command the three reserve divisions of the Fourth Army to attack westward, and build a defensive system here relying on terrain and rivers. If I'm lucky, we can hold off the German army for 2 days. During this time, I hope The main force of the Fourth Army can withdraw to the north and join the main force of the British Army." At this time, Admiral Short, who served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, was the first to respond. The British general began to plan a counterattack.
