Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 150: Red Dragon

The German paratroopers made a fatal mistake. The rain and night paralyzed their vigilance. They believed that they would not be ambushed in this severe weather, and they paid a heavy price for this. ≤≤small≤say,

The early glorious results made them think that the British team had lost their courage, but everything in front of them proved them wrong. The enemy still has a strong will to resist, and they will not only resist, but also actively attack.

The first company of the first battalion of paratroopers was surrounded by the enemy. Under successive blows, this paratrooper company lost all company platoon commanders and half of its soldiers. Relying on their rich battlefield experience, the remaining soldiers decisively occupied two buildings on the street. Under the leadership of the two surviving sergeants, they fought fiercely with the enemy. The problem is that these soldiers only carry the ammunition in their personal equipment, and the consumption of ammunition in a fierce attack will be terrible, and they will soon fall into the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food.

The second company commander Clausen was very anxious about this and must rescue these soldiers from the siege before they run out of ammunition, otherwise they must be a massacre waiting for them. The enemy has shown this sign. They consciously fill up their guns at the fallen German paratroopers. They are not going to capture the prisoners at all. These people want to drive the German soldiers to an extinction.

Clauson was unable to make changes to the current situation. His troops were already insufficient. He also lost most of the vehicles during the retreat, as well as the ammunition and equipment loaded on those vehicles. Many paratroopers locked their weapons on the fixed gun racks in the car in accordance with the regulations. As a result, many people had no time to unload their rifles when escaping. Most of the ammunition boxes and weapon cabinets were left on the trucks. Finally, the machine gun squad and the mortar squad did not abandon their equipment, and the paratroopers had the power to suppress the enemy's shooting.

Clawson established a temporary line of defense next to the natural ditch, so that he had the opportunity to observe the attacker's situation. The results surprised him. The enemy’s forces and firepower far exceeded his estimates. According to the rough observations, the opponent was equipped with at least six light and heavy machine guns, especially two two-pound anti-tank guns, against the German machine gun group. The threat with the mortar squad is great.

The paratroopers carried an 80mm mortar. However, only twelve rounds of ammunition were carried. This is the result of four ammunition handlers sticking to their duties. The remaining ammunition was stored in two Opel trucks, and they are now within the effective range of the enemy. Don't want to get anything back from there for the time being.

The heavy rain had a certain impact on both sides of the battle. Especially when the positions were changed, the German army hid in the rain of night, which greatly increased the difficulty of the attackers. The German paratroopers in the town are still stubbornly resisting because of the good terrain they occupy. It is difficult for the attacking party to break through the German defense line for a while, and the battle begins to develop towards a sustained development. This is the last thing the attacking party wants to see. The more the war is delayed, the more beneficial to the Germans. They must have sent a distress telegram, maybe now Germany Human reinforcements are already coming here.

"Sir, if we can't get rid of these enemies within half an hour, we must consider retreating from here." Lieutenant Mitchelskirsky suggested to his battalion commander.

"Retreat? Where to retreat? Since we fired the first shot, we have no way out." Army Major Joseph Solsky rubbed his brows and folded the map on the table and stuffed it into the skin. In the cartographic bag.

"Order the second company to attack again. The Germans in the village must be eliminated first." The Sols base station got up and walked to the radio station in the corner of the room. He raised his chin at the communicator, and the other party immediately understood. The frequency is adjusted.

"The red dragon calls the lion’s nest, and the red dragon calls the lion’s nest. I am Major Solsky. Did you hear the lion’s nest?"

"You heard it clearly, please speak." There was a London accent on the radio.

"We have repelled a German counterattack. The troop is very exhausted and we need support."

"The headquarters has understood the situation in your area, and now many areas have appeared in the vanguard of the German army. The headquarters is trying to mobilize reinforcements. You have been placed in the priority position. Please be sure to stick to the morning. At ten o'clock, you must hold on to Barham before ten o'clock. It is strictly forbidden to retreat until the command of the headquarters is obtained. Repeatedly, any form of retreat is strictly prohibited without the permission of the headquarters. The call is over." The other party's words were harsh, but the tone was There is some savage taste in CGCC, and it seems that the other party is also afraid to provoke Solsky. Afraid of the other party pats their **** and runs away.

"Understood, we will hold on to the last minute and the call is over." Solsky handed the microphone back to the correspondent. He sat down on the edge of the radio table and took out a bag from his pocket. Cigarette, a cigarette was shaken out and dipped into his mouth.

The glorious Podhall Brigade has survived in name only. The British have long been unable to protect themselves. They did not hesitate to tear off the fig leaf, and the Poles became victims again. It turns out that these so-called allies have once again abandoned the Poles, just as they did a year ago.

The British have never really believed in the Poles. What Solsky has seen and heard in the past six months in the UK has convinced him of this view. These British people are just using the blood and patriotism of the Poles to defraud the Polish exiles of money and benefits. They even use these propaganda to trick the enthusiastic young Polish people to throw their blood and lives for the benefit of the Poles. Believe that all their efforts will eventually be rewarded, and the UK will spare no effort to support Poland's great cause of restoration, at least in the public opinion propaganda of the UK and his allies.

In fact, Polish exiles in Britain are in a miserable situation, whether it is British civil or official, the exclusion of Polish refugees can be seen everywhere. Some British people even angered the Polish refugees because of the disadvantages of the war, thinking that it was the Poles who provoked this **** war and dragged the great British Empire into the flames of war. Everything now is caused by short-sighted and stupid Poles. Yes, they must be responsible for their stupidity. The British Empire has no obligation to protect these barbaric Poles anymore. They should be expelled from the country and sent to the Balkans or other places to destroy themselves.

Polish refugees in the United Kingdom can only live in areas delineated by the British government, and their treatment is not much different from that of their compatriots in the mainland. The reasons given by the United Kingdom are high-sounding. In order to ensure the safety of these people, avoid customs and The language difference and the locals in the UK have unnecessary conflicts.

Officials did not shy away from making anti-Polish remarks on social occasions, spilling all the dirty water they could spill on the surrendering Polish government. They claimed that it was the Poles' arrogance that angered the Germans and gave Hitler a reason to start the war. Even if the war cannot be avoided in the end, if Poland agreed to Hitler's request that year, it would give up the Danzig Corridor. Then the situation is bound to be very different from now. Hitler may continue to prepare for war in a year or two, but Britain and France have sufficient time to cope. If some diplomatic and political means are added, the British are very good at dealing with these problems, and perhaps this war cannot be fought.

British officials are there to speak out. They drove frantically as a hindsight, in order to shirk their responsibilities and conceal the stupidity and incompetence of their government. There is nothing wrong with the British Empire, what is wrong is... right, and what is wrong is the **** Poles.

Sorski’s infantry battalion is the last bloodline of the Podhall Brigade, and it is the only Polish army that remains in Britain. After participating in the Battle of Norway, the brigade followed the British Norwegian Expeditionary Force and withdrew to Scotland for reorganization and training. Unlike in history, the next Battle of Dunkirk ended with the annihilation of the British and French allied forces, and the doom of the Podhall Brigade also began.

The British had already lost 90% of their troops, leaving the country empty. Rumors of the German landing were all over, and coastal cities were shocked. According to reason, they should immediately consider reorganizing the army, increasing the strength of the existing domestic troops, and transferring the well-established troops to the south to prevent German landing attempts. But the brain circuits of British politicians are a bit different from ordinary people. The first thing they thought of was the need to immediately disarm the Podhall Brigade.

They believe that in Britain’s weakest moments, there is a fully armed and well-trained army made up of foreigners. This is a very dangerous hidden danger for the empire, especially these foreigners are the least trusted. Poles. It must be restrained immediately to eliminate all possible threats.

The British took all the light and heavy weapons of the Podhall Brigade on the grounds of replacing them with new equipment. Only the officers still kept their respective guns. As a result, the Poles waited for almost two months, but the new equipment that had been promised was delayed. The answer from the British to them was that the equipment should be given priority to the British team, and the Podhall brigade must wait patiently.

The officers were smashed by the British popularity. They demanded that the old equipment taken from them be replaced, but the answer was that those items had been mistakenly used as scrap weapons to be dismantled and returned. The Army made a mistake in its work process, and the specific person in charge has been dealt with accordingly.

In the end, only a batch of British Army-style wool uniforms were actually obtained by the Poles, and they had to re-sewn logos and military emblems. At this time, even the blind could see that the British were malicious. Originally thought that the Polish politicians were shameless enough. Unexpectedly, compared with the British, the bureaucrats in Warsaw were really not enough.

For the first time, deserters appeared in the glorious Podhall brigade. Some soldiers could no longer stand doing nothing in the barracks, and watched the motherland and people still suffer under the iron hoof of the Germans. They don't want to stay in Britain anymore. They want to go where they can fight the Germans and fight with the people who are willing to fight the Germans.

Although the officers understood the feelings of these soldiers, in order to maintain the order and discipline of the army, they had to cooperate with the British to search for these soldiers back, and sent them to a military court for deserting. These incidents once again severely hit the morale of the troops, but also damaged the authority of the officers and damaged the cohesion of the team.

Many soldiers began to act against the officers’ orders. Some people began to slip out of the barracks, hang around in taverns, fight with British soldiers, attack the military police and police, and even participated in robbery and theft. As a result, these behaviors became the British exclusion. The evidence of the Poles has discredited the entire Podhall Brigade.

The British finally waited for the opportunity, and they could have a good reason to attack this force instead of shouldering the stigma of oppressing their allies. The Podhall Brigade was split by the British Wartime Commander. This infantry brigade was originally composed of four infantry battalions. Three of the infantry battalions were completely broken up. Some soldiers were assigned to the British Army to take up duties. As with transportation tasks, most of the soldiers were ordered to leave the army, and some of them were sent to prison with good records, waiting to be deported after serving their sentences.

In the end, only Solsky’s infantry battalion was left in the brigade~IndoMTL.com~ as a model for allies to continue to retain the organization. After all, this infantry brigade performed bravely in Norway and has some folks at home and abroad. Fans, the British did not revoke the designation of the Podhall Brigade, and they did not want to make it ugly, shameless, shameless, the archway still has to be supported.

When all the dust settled, it was nearly late July, and Solski’s infantry battalion finally got the weapons. As expected, they still had their original batch of things. The British didn’t even bother to cover up their work. So, the soldiers even found the serial number they had engraved earlier on their weapons, and even the signatures of their comrades in arms.

But finally the troops were re-armed. Solsky began to rectify military discipline and resume military training. He was ready to use actions to prove to the British that the Poles were unbreakable, no matter what conspiracy they used, Unable to make the Poles give up the idea of ​​rejuvenation, one day he will make the British regret their current behavior, and the Polish soldiers will use their lives to restore their lost honor and dignity.

In the early morning of August 23, in this humble English town, Solsky finally waited for his long-awaited opportunity, and he was ready to sacrifice the whole camp here. He firmly believes that the glory of the Podhall brigade may end here, but the spirit of the Polish people will last forever and Poland will not die.
