Four Hundred and Thirty-Eight Soldiers Defeated Like a Mountain

It seems that the German High Command has an unwritten rule: when fighting a downwind battle, use armored troops to fight, use good steel on the blade, and invade like fire once it advances three thousand miles; fight the most difficult and evil battle, use grenadiers to top it , Dirty, tired and aggrieved, but it is as immovable as a mountain made of blood. Grenadiers, just like Napoleon's Praetorian Guards back then, although they are not good-looking, they have the air of swallowing the sky like no one else.

Unlike the German Army in another time and space, in this time and space, Akado has driven the German industrial system to full capacity early on, and discovered Augustus, the current "chief assistant", with Jelin Nike? West Asia, Speer and others are all first-class industrial integration wizards, so the family background of the German Grenadier is much stronger than that of their counterparts in another life.

Accompanied by assault guns one after another slowly moving forward on both sides of the road, it is the 1st Infantry Division under the 1st Mechanized Army of the Group A Army, the most elite infantry division in Germany. These dusty German soldiers can be said to be The pride of the entire German Army.

Compared with those SS troops who shouted long live the head of state as soon as they started the war, although their combat effectiveness was unimaginably tenacious, but their losses were astonishing, the Wehrmacht troops looked much smarter. If the SS relies on personal loyalty to the head of state, Acado, then the Wehrmacht relies on the "technology" integrated into their bones.

These German grenadiers fought bravely and tenaciously to the extreme. They were proud of fighting the most difficult and most unlikely battles, and they cheered for being the most trusted unit of the German head of state.

However, the British counterattack in recent days has really made these German soldiers a little inexplicable-compared with the previous Norwich area, the recent British resistance or counterattack can be described as weak, that kind of land must be The aura of struggle disappeared, replaced by weakness that collapsed thousands of miles away.

After Lundstedt took Cambridge, he asked the Germans to defend on the spot and wait for the British counterattack. As a result, after waiting for a whole afternoon, the British did not have the courage to take back Cambridge from the German army. It also ushered in a short but precious rest period.

They also sorted out the British supplies seized these days. Compared with Montgomery's steady and steady attack, Gott's forced attack is actually selling a huge loophole to Rundstedt, and the commander of Army Group A that Accador is very fond of obviously belongs to the kind that has real materials. As a "ruthless character", he seized the loophole of the British counterattack and devoured the vital strength of the British army in one go.

Moreover, he used a quick assault to cooperate with the beheading operation of the special forces and the destruction of the rear, and took most of Montgomery's rear supplies that had not been lost on a large scale. These materials include a small amount of food stored near Norwich, as well as oil and ammunition, and even some airports and railway roads repaired by the British themselves that were too late to be destroyed. It can be said that the British troops after Montgomery's departure were almost half of the German logistics transport brigade.

The loss of these materials also made the distribution of materials in London, England even more stretched.

This has also caused the current embarrassing situation where there is no force to fight back. It's not that the British don't want to fight back, but they have no way to fight back. It is like Germany in 1945. It can only passively wait for the Allied attack, and cannot come up with any effective means of counterattack.

Britain has hundreds of thousands of troops, but it has to defend a larger piece of land. In order to prevent the German army from crossing the Ouse River, the 100,000 troops in the direction of Peterborough could not move at all, and in order to prevent the German army from advancing westward, the 50,000 troops in the direction of Bedford could not move at all. Tens of thousands of coastal defense troops will be deployed on the long coastline, and at least 100,000 people will be needed in the London area to face the German army. Shortages began to appear.

Now let alone Churchill, the British Prime Minister who should have been deposed by His Majesty the King long ago, even the King does not believe in such nonsense as driving the German army into the sea. Whether the British can defend London or not seems to have become a question. The plan to mobilize the people to burn jade and jade together has caused panic throughout London. Now the British royal family has canceled all plans to patrol public places for speeches, for fear that some British people will throw grenades on the podium.

The colonies in India are about to move, Japan is eyeing around Hong Kong, Australia is flirting with the United States in order to completely get rid of British control, and even the North African Mediterranean region, which has always been regarded as the lifeblood of the United Kingdom, is also in flames of war. Now the United Kingdom has to be optimistic about its only one piece Quiet and honest colonial Canada.

Of course, the matter of Britain's westward migration to Canada actually offended the United States. As the only major country in North America, it is impossible for the United States to allow the United Kingdom to continue to rule in Canada. Therefore, the British royal family has been negotiating with the United States about the matter of the British royal family going west to Canada. Even the interests of Asia have been given to the United States, and they have turned a blind eye to the affairs of Australia.

As far as the United States is concerned, Germany's unification of Europe is nothing more than one more competitor, but Britain's westward flight to Canada is a couch that is going to sleep in the United States. So Roosevelt didn't let go of his mouth anyway this time. He made a speech in public, hoping that Britain could fight the German army to the end in blood.

However, after all, bloody battles require "blood" to fight. Britain's sea transportation lines maintain air battle consumption and the country's normal survival is still barely enough. Now that it has been changed to a large-scale land battle, the terrible consumption will be reduced. Let that fragile transportation line completely collapse.

Dönitz is the last trump card of the German navy. President Roosevelt has already judged this matter, but the American president will not say it, and British Prime Minister Churchill dare not say it. In just half a month on March 1, the total number of ships of the British Navy sunk by German submarines, even Churchill, who was determined to grit his teeth and persist until the last moment, felt dizzy after seeing it.

Having lost the food stockpiled on the plains and some of the strategic materials of the front-line troops, and lost all the elite troops, what is left of the British government is completely unable to affect the overall situation of the German army's offensive.

Moreover, as the German offensive southward became more and more sharp, and the entire front was getting closer and closer to the southern part of the UK, German bombers could take off more frequently from the Dunkirk area to support German operations in the UK. As the German army controlled more and more front-line airports, the support of the Luftwaffe became more and more timely. The hundred Hurricane fighter jets that had been accumulated with great difficulty were not lost in the battle to intercept the Butcher strategic bomber. The German ace pilot who watched the FW-190D fighter jet that took off from the British mainland was slowly consumed in the air battle.

The promise of the Americans to the British is very simple, that is, as long as London can hold on for three months, then the strategic materials of the United States will be continuously shipped to the United Kingdom, and countless fighter jets and tanks will help the United Kingdom to submerge the 300,000 or even 500,000 German troops on the mainland. Britain would eventually win the war against Germany.

However, even Churchill, the most optimistic, was not sure that London would be held for three months. He didn't even know if Britain was turned into ruins, and if all British colonies were turned into American colonies, the war would still be regarded as Britain's victory. .

What frightened the British royal family and Churchill himself the most was not the increasing number of hundreds of thousands of German troops landing, but the two louder and louder voices from the north. Ireland is abandoning the royal family in the north of England and the Churchill government, trying its best to contact the Scottish rulers in the northern mountains, and is preparing to divide the British mainland with Germany.

In fact, the German head of state is throwing an olive branch at Scotland in the north of England, claiming that he is willing to rule the British mainland together with the "time-conscious" British and Irish. The future British mainland will be divided into Ireland, Scotland, and the southern part of the UK. Three parts, and both New Britain and Ireland will be an important part of Germany's "European Steel Axis".

Although the German head of state did not come up with many baits, the real military advantage achieved under the guns of the German grenadiers and the tracks of the German armored forces is more convincing than the pale guarantee of the United States. These people were also waiting for an opportunity, the moment when the German soldiers entered London, that is, when they stepped out of the backstage and onto the stage. Like the French Vichy government, they are ready to hedge their bets for their own future.

And these people are the ones who really want the British royal family and Churchill to die. Once these people stand up, they will divide the British colonies and make the entire British Empire a mess. Although these people can't help much in the German camp, they can be practical. It really harmed Britain and made Britain spit out its last mouthful of blood. These people are really more than successful, they are a bunch of scum that Churchill hates more than the German head of state.

Some of the people in power in Britain are beginning to regret that they did not shake hands with Germany immediately after the Dunkirk fiasco, and they regret that the Royal Navy joined the war in a daze and lost the advantage of the home fleet. But at this time, no one dared to be the first to stand up and veto the decision of the royal king, and no one dared to challenge the prime minister Churchill who was not far from death. They were all waiting, waiting for the moment when the Germans captured London.

But now Churchill and His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom are not in the mood to care about these sloppy ideas. They are risking their confrontation with the United States and transporting an elite division to Canada and handing it over to Montgomery, who has just established a foothold there. Helping to dispatch the remaining British Royal Navy, preparing to organize an attack on Danish Iceland and sending 30,000 British troops there as his last bet.
