Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
The weather in the United Kingdom cannot always be sunny, and naturally it cannot always be cloudy. After a few days of squalls, the sun appears again in the sky, and the weather on the British Isles is finally cloudy and clear.
A large but terrifying German butchers strategic bomber fleet arrived on schedule and appeared over the UK, dropping hundreds of tons of bombs in various regions. Countless Stukka bombers and Stukka-2 bombers repeatedly attacked the positions of the British defenders, and easily blew the positions of the British defenders into a sea of ​​fire.
The haze and wind that German soldiers called "Churchill Weather" disappeared, so the German aircraft carrier fleet once again flaunted its power, and the landing site was unimpeded again. The German fleet, which transported with all its strength, added tens of thousands of troops to the A Group Army.
The Frederick rocket artillery, supplemented by ammunition, roared again, and the British soldiers finally realized an ancient Chinese proverb: Feng Shui turns. Their cannon was destroyed by Stuka, their positions were torn by German armored grenadiers, and their lives were crushed into mud by German tank tracks.
Montgomery ’s forces were continuously frustrated on the entire front. German forces have regrouped Bunge. A large number of German forces have appeared in the Lowestoft area. Obviously, at this time, the German a group army not only used any conspiracy, but they were just To take advantage of the most powerful sea and air superiority, from the hands of the British defenders, seize this important port city.
In fact, Lowestoft is not a large port city, but obviously for the small port cities such as Buckton and Wells in the hands of the Germans, Lowestoft can be regarded as a very large port.
Importantly, Lowestoft is closer to the Netherlands and Belgium, and the German transportation routes will be greatly shortened, so that the German team landing in the UK will be replenished more quickly, and the days of British defense will be More difficult.
The British commanders seemed unable to think of a more difficult situation: Germany had controlled four military airports in the landing area, more than 400 Luftwaffe fighters of various types had been deployed to the British territory, and the support of the Luftwaffe was more timely It is also more accurate and the frequency of bombing the UK is more intensive.
The 230,000 German team has already landed in the British mainland, and the British can now use about 300,000 local troops-to know that most of the elite troops that the British can fight in Dunkirk entered the prisoner of war camp and fled back to the local troops. In addition to the original reserve team, the number of people able to fight is only about 100,000. After so many days of hard work, the remaining 100,000 British troops now have only about 50,000.
Most of the remaining 250,000 so-called British soldiers have not been on the battlefield for a day, shot 5 shots at the target in the rear, and then lined up to the front line as "new recruits" for training. These soldiers said plainly In addition, the peasants with guns and students, these temporarily assembled troops hit the German armored forces in the wild, and Montgomery did not dare to imagine.
In fact, the situation that Montgomery is least willing to see has happened on the British front. Almost all of the new 24th Division of the British Army is temporarily appointed by the division, and the entire force is almost all recruits. This unit encountered the 5th German light armored division on the front of Thetford. The battle only fought for 45 minutes. The British army killed 2,100 soldiers and 3800 were captured. The entire defense line collapsed, and Thetford became the frontline city exposed to the Germans.
It is difficult to assess the combat effectiveness of such temporarily supplemented troops. Sometimes these troops will be quite tenacious. Although the combat ability can not catch up with the main force, they can be described by the word "cooking"; sometimes these troops will be destroyed at a touch, and the combat effectiveness is almost the same as National Day. The parade is almost the same, leaving the front line commanders helpless.
What Montgomery can do is to dismantle some recruits as much as possible within the scope of its powers, fill these troops into the existing combat forces, and try to keep every combat force in his hands as far as possible to maintain a combat level.
This is really not to blame the chaos and ignorance of the supplementary British troops, but the group of officials in the rear were urged by the king and the prime minister and forced to make a little progress. His Majesty the King still has the Prime Minister. Do n’t listen to what you say. How many supplementary troops are filled into the existing combat forces. They only care about the size of the British troops.
In fact, this is a kind of self-consolation in a state of madness. Just as Hitler was unwilling to admit that his troops had been annihilated before his suicide, Churchill is now unwilling to admit that the British frontline troops are on the verge of collapse. The question he asks the most every day is how many division troops have been formed and where these troops have been deployed after being added to the front.
In the Prime Minister ’s Combat Intelligence Command, there are already 71 divisions of combat troops on the map of the United Kingdom-it stands to reason that the current British total strength should be at least 900,000, but the actual situation is that the British troops can only maintain Floating around 300,000.
The reason is that in the supplementary report provided to Prime Minister Churchill, the United Kingdom has newly formed 31 divisions of combat units. However, these newly formed "combat units" were initially "dissatisfied divisions" of about 7,000 people, and later It became 4,500 people, and was later compressed to 3,000 people. Even later, the British Independent 69th Division had only 1,500 people, about the same size as a regiment, and the Independent 70th Division did not even get 1400 people together and was sent. To the front.
It can be imagined how the British frontline combat force's combat power has fallen, and how important the more than 30,000 British elite that Montgomery is currently holding.
But with the arrival of February 23, all this has changed. The German army finally won the first large port city of Lowestoft after a hard street battle. The 20,000 British defenders in Great Yarmouth finally landed without a fight. The Bunge defenders also gave up resistance after a few hours. Only three days after Prime Minister Churchill ’s famous speech
From Bunge to Great Yarmouth
, the inspiring Bunge Great Victory and Great Yarmouth Restoration became loud slaps on the faces of British politicians.
The anxiously corrupted King of England removed Montgomery's commander-in-chief of the front line and ordered Lord Gott to command again, command the British front-line troops, and immediately counterattack the German forces to retake all British territory.
As a result, the British counterattack was forced to turn into defense after only 2 hours. The elite British troops collapsed in front of Germany ’s subsequent attack. On February 24th, they lost the central defense town of Thetford. Germany, transportation hub Yili. On February 25 Newmarket was captured by the Germans, and the German front-line troops were close to Cambridge, an important city in northern London.
On February 26, the forces of the German Army Group A captured Aldeburgh, and then the British counterattack in Bury Saint Edmunds was defeated by the German 2nd Armored Division. On February 27, Bury Saint Edmunds and The head of the city of Stowmarket is populated with the 4D German flag. Subsequently, the British defenders in Ipswich surrendered, but the street fighting was not officially ended until March 1. The German attacking forces were attacked by British civilians for the first time, and Ipswich was subsequently retaliated by the Germans. As many as 7,000 casualties.
Felixstowe was subsequently occupied by the Germans, the British port city of Harwich was blocked by the Germans ’Felixstowe coastal defense artillery due to distance, Sudbury then surrendered to the German armored forces, and the British defenders reluctantly stayed in Suds. The defense line was stabilized near the river in the south of Bury, relying on the embankment to establish a fairly stable defense system.
The Germans established a solid line of defense along the Ouse River in the western defense zone, while in the south they faced the British army across the river. Between the two river lines was the famous British city Cambridge. Everyone knows that as long as the Germans seized Cambridge, they could hit Harlow, the northern gateway of London, England, along the railway road, and then London would be completely in the pocket of the German a group army.
After losing troops on the front line, losing the city and losing ground, the British King and Churchill were even more dissatisfied with Gott than Montgomery, but at this moment Montgomery was already on the way to Canada by boat, and it was too late to recall.
So a well-known British veteran Willis was in danger and took over the front line command of the British defenders. The veteran clarified his thinking about combat as soon as he took office, that is, to stick to the end of the world. He gave up all counter-attack plans and ordered the British defenders to start arranging defenses on the spot and set about establishing a solid defense system.
However, at such a critical juncture, a negotiator found the British Prime Minister Churchill, who was in despair, and submitted a so-called "sovereignty claim" that made Churchill want to lift the table, hoping that the United Kingdom could give up Northern Ireland's control of the area and understand Irish independence Appeal.
This is tantamount to falling into the rock. Although Ireland ’s national strength was not seen at all when Britain was at its peak, the island of Ireland was also regarded by the United Kingdom as its own half back garden, but now the British tiger is falling in Pingyang. The knife is a bit terrible. At this time, the British government really realized that it was far from being a real iron plate, and that the German government's real trick was also revealed.
Akado knew that the complete occupation of Britain was not worth the cost and was expensive, but it was much more comfortable to share Britain with some friendly forces. Another ally that Germany has found is Ireland, who has been unwillingly lonely behind Britain. Akado promised that Ireland would let the Scottish mountains serve as a buffer zone and establish a new "Britain", and that the same regime as the Vichy French government would join the German-led steel axis alliance and become another puppet regime in Germany.
