Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 141: The end of disaster

Just after noon, a thick cumulus cloud appeared over the originally sunny strait, and the wind began to increase. The lights outside the combat command room of the German Command’s command room finally went out, and the service personnel opened the thick curtains and opened the doors and windows that had been closed for a whole day. The sea breeze with a hint of sea water blew in from the window, blowing away the turbid nicotine-filled air in the room.

"So, Guderian is still fooled." Xu Jun raised his head and drank the coffee that Disenhofen had handed him.

The Führer is still wearing the uniform that was two days ago. The well-dressed uniform is now crumpled, the Fengji buttons and the white shirt buttons inside are untied, and the glittering Knight Iron Cross is loose. Hung around the neck.

"We have calculated it, and now we can draw this number out." Yodel took a form from the adjutant and handed it to Keitel. The Chief of Warfare also looked tired now, and his thin hair was now greasy and drooped on the back of his head.

"We can trust the abilities of General Bock. This is not a problem for him at all. A special list of what he wants. At least ten submarine pipelines still need to be laid. Ask the French where there are There is no stock." Marshal Brausic had already taken off his military uniform, and he was now holding his sleeve and fighting a roast chicken in front of him.

The commander-in-chief of the German army skillfully tore off a chicken leg and handed it to the chief of staff beside him. Halder was eating a piece of bread happily, and when he saw the boss inexplicably hand over a chicken leg, he didn't dislike it and just took it.

For two consecutive days of uninterrupted work, the personnel of the command department have long thrown away those tedious etiquette, the front line is as powerful as a broken bamboo, but they don’t know how much hard work is involved in the rear agencies, the generals and marshals of the command. How much energy has been devoted to this.

Military appearance and military posture have now become irrelevant details. During the first twenty-four hours of landing, every minute is precious. Although they do not directly direct the frontline operations, they do Always perform battlefield deductions in accordance with the latest information obtained. Deploy materials and troops, liaise and command the air force and navy, and develop corresponding response plans for possible accidents. The battle of Dover is even more important than the previous battle of Dunkirk. If it wins, Germany will make history again. To further fulfill the dreams of countless ancestors for hundreds of years and push Germany to the top of Europa.

"Guderian almost cocked his nose in anger. The Lieutenant General Mason is a character. I really want to go to the other side now and take a look at Guderian's face." Halder chewed on the plump chicken. I finally knew that I wiped off the oil stains on the corners of my mouth with a handkerchief. This has become the norm in the past two days. The generals drank and ate when they were thirsty. The command restaurant serves a variety of hot meals 24 hours a day.

"Why would he have thought that the British lieutenant would have played this hand, but that lieutenant did us a great favor. Why hasn’t the reply from General Ronderstede arrived yet. As long as our transportation The battle cannot be considered over if the ship has not safely berthed into the two ports." Xu Jun stood up and walked to the huge map on the wall. He held a pointer in his hand and shook it hard. On the map.

"Gentlemen! One more effort, we are going to the UK soon!"

"Hi! Reinhardt!" The general and the marshals cheered in unison to salute their head of state.

Guderian's mood is depressed now, not because of changes in the war. It was that he was **** by a British admiral. How did he know that Dover was going to be like this? The lieutenant admiral indeed announced the surrender order, but he did not tell Guderian that he had actually lost control of his subordinate units. All he can represent right now is himself and the only communication company left.

So Guderian was deceived. He happily reported his victory to the High Command. Dover was already in the hands of the German Wehrmacht. Then reality slapped him severely, and the infantry unit that had fallen into the city was attacked by both the defender and the defeated army.

Germany sent an infantry platoon, as the leader of the entire army entering the city, and selected elites recognized by the entire division. A staff officer from Guderian's headquarters was accompanied by the team. As the German surrender liaison representative. The major tried to convince the soldiers that this was just an armed march. It was so easy to enter the city to reach the British command.

The infantry didn't think so. They had encountered many false surrenders in France. The soldiers don’t care what they’re thinking about. After all, it’s themselves who are desperately working on the front line, so the infantry did not relax their vigilance, but still lined up the city to search and advance. As a result, the lead platoon broke into a British army. The fire broke out on the scene, and two groups of British troops were fighting in full swing across the street.

The sudden addition of a third party surprised the British. They seemed to remember only then that there were Germans outside the city. The position of the German infantry platoon was very bad. They did not have any cover on the empty road, so the two groups of British fired on the German infantry in unison.

The German infantry responded quickly. They retaliated quickly while fighting back. This is no longer a problem of surrender. The situation on the British side is too weird, and this situation must be reported to the superior immediately.

Only two soldiers in the infantry platoon received minor injuries, but the chief of the staff was too eye-catching, and was shot by the British. The infantry platoon was in danger and was eager to evacuate from the scene, so he could not bring back his body.

The intervention of the German army could actually have a better ending, but because of conditioned reflex, these British soldiers were sent to fight the Germans after all, so they subconsciously attacked after seeing the German uniform. . But after the fight was over, both sides regretted it. In fact, they should have surrendered directly. God knows why they fired on the Germans like a ghost and looked at the German major lying on the ground like a torn sack. Both sides wanted to cry without tears for a while. Then I don't know who can get up first, and the two groups started to ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-peng-pong-fire again.

Guderian was furious after receiving the report. There are such shameless people in the world. He kept on surrendering but opened fire on the surrendered team. What's more hateful is that the surrendered team didn't even arrive at the headquarters and was directly in the city. The perimeter was beaten back. Did you not even need the most basic fig leaf?

So Guderian sent Mason a fiercely worded indictment full of anger, accusing him of the actions of the villain who did not believe in words. This thing is definitely not over. When the Germans took down Dover, they would have to pay a heavy price. This telegram was also sent out clearly. Guderian was so dazzled by anger that he never thought that this telegram was equivalent to slapping the Germans. When it was discovered, it was too late.

What Guderian did not expect was that his telegram caused a series of chain reactions. One of them was that Lieutenant General Mason, who was shouted by everyone the moment before, received a round of applause from London. The depressive and gloomy atmosphere in the shelter was wiped out, and the wise Lieutenant Mason was surrendering. Looking at the Germans' desperate appearance, they must have suffered a big loss. His Excellency Mason is indeed a loyal and wise general and a model of the emperor.

Guderian’s telegram made the German high command a jump, because at the moment he announced the victory, according to the original plan, Rondstede and Manstein led the fourth The Polish landing forces departed from Port Calais. This is a fleet of fifteen large cruise ships that will dock at Folkestone and Dover. Now that the ship has been dispatched, you told me that the port has not yet arrived. This is not a joke, this is fatal.

The command department hurriedly called to the landing troops to stop and let them stand by in the middle of the strait. As a result, news came that Folkestone had indeed arrived, so the wave of Manstein’s men continued on the road, while Rondstede continued to float in the middle of the sea waiting for follow-up orders. The admiral had already suffocated his anger at this time. If Guderian could not get the Dover port area as quickly as possible, he would end up very ugly.

Guderian is really getting offended. He has never hated an enemy so much. In his opinion, fighting between the two sides is just loyal to his duty and fulfilling the responsibility of a soldier. There is no personal enmity between the two sides, and he is also known for his knightly demeanor for being kind to the enemy. But this time the situation was different. It was a naked humiliation. He vowed to shoot the shameless liar himself. Unexpectedly, before he ordered the attack, the big liar came to his headquarters single-handedly.

Mason has prepared for the worst. The German's anger is very obvious in the message. He can also understand the mood of the opposing commander, and he may be more intense if he replaces it with himself. At least these Germans are still restrained, and have not made any terrible moves to razing Dover. He saw the strong lineup of the German army along the way, they are fully capable and qualified to complete that kind of brutality.

Mason planted a white flag in his car and walked out of the city directly from the side road behind Dover Fort. He almost circled Dover for half a circle, but was unsurprisingly caught by a German army. Captured.

The German commander who led the team learned that he was in front of a British lieutenant general and was about to discuss the surrender issue with General Guderian. The German commander, who did not know the situation on the front line, was very enthusiastic. He appointed a German armored grenadier platoon to **** Mason went to land in the cluster command and ordered the platoon leader to ensure the safety of the British lieutenant admiral.

When the British liar who made his fame almost become a laughing stock stood in front of him, Guderian found that he didn't know what to do with him. Mason very sincerely apologized to Guderian and fully described the current status of Dover. It was not that he did not want to lead the troops to surrender, but that the team was scattered all over the floor and completely lost the unified command. There is a bunch of rebellious collapsed army arbitrarily, Dover now urgently needs the intervention of the German army. If the German army can quell the riots in the city, the German team will enter this famous city as liberators and saviors rather than invaders.

After listening to Mason’s recount, Guderian couldn’t help being moved. This is a great opportunity to gain a reputation for the German army. This is no longer a military issue, but a political issue. Can the German team It's still unclear to make a change, but it will more or less help the follow-up operations.

Guderian immediately drafted a report to the command, and at the same time gave the order for the entire army to enter Dover. Guderian hopes that Mason can cooperate with the German army's entry into the city, because in law Mason is still the highest leader of the British army in the city, he needs Mason to point out the target of the attack to the German army, and it is best to regain the command of the defenders and order them. lay down your weapon.

Mason immediately agreed to Guderian’s request. He even offered to go to the front line, calling on his soldiers to stop resisting. The blood shed by the British on this day was enough, and the fall of Dover was already Irreversible, he didn't want to see anyone make unnecessary sacrifices for this.

Mason was riding a half-track transport vehicle and followed a German combat engineer into the city. The task of this force is to destroy all obstacles on the offensive road and pave the way for the subsequent forces to attack.

The addition of Mason made the work unexpectedly smooth. The lieutenant admiral was very popular among the local defenders. Almost every Dover garrison knew this unsmiling but unusually kind commander. So when Mason gave a surrender command to the British army encountered on the road with a horn, almost no one expressed resistance to it. They obediently walked out of their hiding bunker, and then followed the instructions of the German army to put their weapons Returned to a centralized place.

Some British officials were selected by Mason, and many of them were originally direct descendants of the fortress headquarters. These officers were assigned to the subsequent German troops. They each followed a German army and marched towards the city in multiple ways. Thanks to the help of these officers and the surrendering non-commissioned officer, the German advancement speed was significantly improved. Not only did a large number of defenders surrendered, even a part of the defeated army joined the surrendering team.

In fact, these people have long been tired of fighting, but can't find a reason to lay down their weapons. Those compatriots who started viciously are still firing bullets at themselves, they can only bite the bullet and fight back. Many troops have run out of ammunition and food, and the soldiers can't even drink a sip of water, let alone eat anything.

Now I see the Germans rushing into the city in a mighty force, with British officers in the team, and the other party also relayed the command of the commander-in-chief, asking all British troops to lay down their weapons and surrender immediately. At this time, if you don't follow the ladder downhill, wait until when and where can you find a better reason for surrender. They didn't surrender without a fight, but because they obeyed the commander's orders. They were not cowards, but just fulfilled their duties.

A large number of British soldiers surrendered to the Germans, and only a small part of the defeated troops still resisted with the weapons at hand and favorable terrain. It is not that these people are unwilling to surrender to the Germans. They dreamed of doing so half a day ago, but now they have embarked on a path of no return. They ransacked a group of civilians and businesses and committed a lot of heinous atrocities. .

These people regret their actions at this time. They have cut off their back. Now no matter which side they surrender to, this group of soldiers who were once soldiers and are now bandits will definitely suffer from both sides. Relentless liquidation.

Some British soldiers told the Germans what the mobs did ~IndoMTL.com~ and the numerous atrocities they committed. As a result, the German soldiers present were filled with righteous indignation. The German team immediately launched an action, vowing to let these beasts in human skin get the punishment they deserve. Under the guidance of the surrendering British soldiers, the German infantry went around behind the resisters, and burned these bandits and their sins to ashes with a fiery fire dragon.

The last battle in the Dover theater took place at the bastion fort. The garrison commander of the fort showed the strength of a British army officer to the Germans. He dismissed all the gunners and infantry and ordered them to the German army under the fort. After surrendering, he climbed to the top observation deck and lowered the flying rice flag.

The commander, wearing the flag he defended to the death, drew his pistol and fired at the German army outside the city. The German infantry stood quietly under the fort, watching the tragic scene in front of him, and finally the officer took the last A bullet hit his head, and the corpse wrapped in the army flag fell from the fort, and the blood stained the white limestone under the fort.

The huge cruise ship carrying the Rondstede Army honked its whistle and slowly sailed into the Port of Dover. This city, which has experienced hundreds of years of vicissitudes and vicissitudes, welcomed the army from a foreign land for the first time. From a moment on, the glory of the British Empire is gone, and an era is over. (To be continued.) Happy reading every day
