Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 52: Paper-bound line of defense (5)
The Messerschmidt reconnaissance plane was annoyed by the ugliness of the British army underneath and swung its wings to turn inland. Flying over a towering forest belt, the eyes suddenly open up, a countryside and rural scenery. Due to its close proximity to the strait, the terrain is flat, large tracts of grass and wheat fields, solitary trees and clusters of shrubs are scattered among the gentle slopes. One or two wooden houses and a mill with a huge waterwheel are small in the rice fields. Standing by the lake, the stream is gurgling, the gray bark roof, and the brick chimneys at the corners of the wooden roofs are still smoking green smoke. The whole picture is fresh and natural, which is pleasing to the eye.
Then the two Germans saw a ditch, a huge ditch. . Then there were British soldiers raging across the ground in the ditch. The anti-tank trench in front of us is almost finished. It is more than five meters wide and four meters deep. The excavated soil is piled up into a man-made steep dam on the side facing away from the strait. The entire trench is curved. It stretches for several kilometers, and it is obviously still going to continue to extend forward.
Before the pilots could express their admiration for this spectacular construction project, the German reconnaissance aircraft suffered a torrential attack. The attack came from an infantry position at the front of the anti-tank trench, but it was not army soldiers who opened fire, but a group of happy mobs.
The British National Self-Defense Force has swelled into a behemoth at this time, and the total number has surpassed the total number of the regular British armed forces. In the peaceful age, this is completely unacceptable by the government. It can be seen that these armed forces are composed of rural civilians, with their own supplies and spontaneous management, with very free autonomy, just like the militias and rangers of the United States when it was founded. Changes, it can change the country.
1.5 million people are a force that cannot be ignored in any country in Europe, and the British government can ignore its expansion and continue to push and arm them. The reason is that the British government has The team’s weaknesses are well understood.
If you leave the coordination of the government, these people will be a mess. The base looks really huge, but in fact it is divided into tens of thousands of teams. Although they all bear the designation of XX and XX battalion, in fact, the largest team only has more than two hundred people, and the small team has only a dozen villagers and wild men. If this kind of armed force does not have the unified organization and organization of professional soldiers command. That's the mob. Once there is a problem, one command can easily wipe out each other, and they can't make a big wave at all.
Most of these people know little about war. Many people have never touched a weapon. What supports them is the British national pride and so-called patriotism. More is the fear of the existing rhythm of life being destroyed, the fear of the aggressor. People have inertia, especially the British, inertia has been carved into their bones. They are accustomed to orderly arranging their lives according to the schedule, and live a peaceful and peaceful life according to the schedule every day. Of course, they also like to accept new things, but they have to build on the basis that the stuff will not affect the rhythm of his life. Otherwise, any change is dangerous and reckless. Unless anything new has become fashionable, it must be strictly demonstrated. If you don't know, then wait and see, research and study, to see if there is something wrong with the idiot of the neighbor, if the guy doesn't die, I will buy one too.
The British are gossip animals and are keen on interpersonal communication, but the social circle is very fixed. Outsiders want to join, unless there is a guarantee from the insider or the person already has a certain popularity, otherwise they have to spend a very long time The study period. Once the social circle is destroyed or disintegrated, it will be the end of the world for the British.
The citizens of the British Empire are proud. The sun never sets before and after the empire’s global hegemony, and the navy overthrows Holland and Spain. The army defeated Germany and France. After the Industrial Revolution, it has led the world's technological trends for decades. Cambridge and Oxford professors are like clouds and scholars, and they have a rich background in literature and art. Although they lost their hands in the United States and lost their face in South Africa. But in the end he still got his face back. The British citizenship brand is still very popular outside, even if it is a London gangster, in the Far East, it can be arrogant to ramp up Shanghai. Therefore, any behavior that challenges the pride of the British and intends to smash the golden sign of the British Empire, the British will fight back at all costs.
And now, the **** Germans have **** what the British hate most.
The United Kingdom was once disgraced by the Great Depression, but for the British in the countryside, the overall impact was not large. Two decades of peaceful and quiet days have allowed them to cultivate enough inertia. The news that Germany was about to invade this time completely disrupted this peaceful pace of life.
Various propaganda brochures from the government were issued. Urban relatives ran back to the countryside with their families and brought all kinds of true and false gossip. Radio stations laughed and scolded, and the country tabloids were full of weird gossips. The new German head of state is a fallen angel, and the German soldiers are bloodthirsty monsters. German soldiers burned, killed and looted, and killed and landed. German tanks were very powerful. German artillery shot down and eroded dozens of miles, no matter the wall. Both humans and animals become powder.
The feelings of the villagers were enthusiastic, sitting around the tavern and talking. For example, "How can you survive these days? It doesn't matter if the Germans go to London to burn, kill and loot, but running into my village affects me drinking afternoon tea by the river every day. How can this be tolerated! This is definitely a fight with the Germans." Both Jack and Annie in the village went to join the air force. Now I am the only one left in the trio. They were all murdered by the god-slayed Germans. The little master smashed with you! The British Empire has raised our squires for many years and died of justice. The festival is today, and tomorrow I will go to Glasgow to buy a ticket to the United States of America and go there to call prostitutes...Summon one hundred thousand British expatriates to form a volunteer army and return to King Qin..." It was almost like this.
Churchill's summoning order was like rain in time, giving this group of bewildered villagers and gentry a goal. The German devils are coming, and the villagers took up weapons and **** with devils. . . In just over a month, the Self-Defense Army of 1.5 million people was mobilized. It can be called a model in the history of British mobilization.
In front of the various ferocious weapons of the German army, it is useless to rely solely on people. Let this group of villagers rush up like this. At most, the Germans can pull the trigger and pull out tenosynovitis. Therefore, the first thing to do is to arm them and give them the necessary training with appropriate tactics. The position of the British government for this team is to act as an auxiliary force to cooperate with the regular army forces, delaying the actions of the German army, consuming the strength of the Germans, and disrupting the rhythm of the German attacks. The expectation in private is. These people can cause countless troubles to the Germans, and it is best to let the Germans shed enough blood to finally force the Germans to sign a definite armistice agreement.
The British government knows that unless it can prevent the Germans from going ashore. Otherwise, once this group of beasts set foot on British territory, relying on the current defensive strength of the British homeland, there is no hope to win at all. The defeat is inevitable, and it is not so ugly to only seek to lose. Churchill had already realized this. He didn't expect the Army to be able to defend the London city. He was going to stay in the semi-underground command bunker in Downing Street until the German soldiers rushed in. He asked his bodyguards to load his head with an 11.23 mm pistol at the last minute. , This is also a proud man, like Hitler, he will never allow himself to fall into the hands of the enemy.
Originally, the government in exile was also an option, but because the reserves were robbed and robbed by the Germans, the British had seen too much about how miserable a government in exile was. Britain is the preferred destination of the exiled governments of various exiled countries. Without these exiled politicians, how could Britain be able to stir up **** in the past. Now it's Britain's turn to go into exile, so it really has to be considered carefully and researched. Because there is no money, let it be under the fence, weak and strong, if the Germans foster a pro-German government here, the group of exiles will be tragedy every minute. What's more, the British can finally play the family card, the big deal is to let the royal family come forward and kneel, after all, Windsor was surnamed Weiting before.
Every big government official has a small abacus, and Churchill knows it very well. But he must stand on the side of public opinion, coupled with his unwillingness to admit defeat, he will never allow such things as surrender without a fight to happen in his tenure, he is Churchill. It must go down in history.
Although the army’s weapons were not enough, Churchill still forced out a batch of old rifles that were replaced and sealed up, but after all, the base number was too terrifying. Throwing these rifles down even the splashes, the team was finally armed. After getting up, four of them took cold weapons. And half of these cold weapons should actually be classified as farm tools.
In more than a month, various rural workshops began to make all kinds of earthen guns and cannons. The craftsmanship of British blacksmiths is world-renowned. If the materials are sufficient, they can knock out a mark by hand. The various inventors in the countryside are also mind-boggling, and weird and weird weapon designs emerge one after another. It is not clear whether it is easy to use or not. Anyway, it is not for them to use it.
British squires are the best armed people in the Self-Defense Forces. Most of them have long family pedigrees. Many of them have titles, fields and factories, various businesses, and fixed income. , I don’t need to worry about their livelihoods at all, so most of them have a hobby of hunting ~ IndoMTL.com ~ British gentlemen love hunting too much. Recalling the glorious years, British hunters killed the whole world. The British survived to kill the infested Indian tiger into a rare animal, and there are countless other extinct rare birds and animals. White rhinos and lions on the African grasslands and African elephants are their favorites. The British have always promoted that the Chinese like to use rhino horns to treat diseases, but none of the African rhinos died in Chinese hands. The number of rhinos that died in the hands of British hunters cannot be counted. British hunters personally went to Africa to slaughter rhinos. They were not for rhino horns. They cut off the entire rhino head to make specimens and hang them on the wall to show off, or make specimens. Sell it to other local tyrants and hang it on the wall to show off. Lions, elephants, bison, antelopes, what to do if they meet, also make it.
They are not hunting for life, they are hunting for entertainment and excitement. In order to hunt these beasts, British gunsmiths prepared unparalleled killing weapons for these local tyrants, such as exquisite beast rifles, large-caliber shotguns, long-range sniper rifles, single-barreled double-barreled, pump-actuated bolted, Each of the lever crankshafts is an expensive and dangerous craft.
Now, Sergeant Hans’ bf110 reconnaissance plane is shooting extremely fast under dozens of such crafts. (To be continued.)
