Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 196: Peripheral wars

"Watch out for the shelling!" the platoon sergeant roared loudly. The soldiers in the trenches quickly hugged their rifles and squatted down to protect their heads with both hands. At the next moment, a series of howling tears tore the air sounded, and then rain-drenched cast iron shrapnel covered an entire open area two hundred meters wide in front of the position. "They are destroying the minefield, and the barbed wire fences we set up are all gone." The corporal squad leader spit, bowed his head and shook off the mud from the helmet. "Everywhere, the Germans are going to attack." The platoon sergeant continued to issue orders, and after the death of the deputy platoon commander, he became the highest-ranked man in the trench. The second battalion of the Royal Flintlock Regiment of the British Army. This long-established unit has only undertaken local defense tasks, so that it was not incorporated into the expeditionary force and escaped the disaster of Dunkirk, but now These soldiers and officers knew in their hearts that this glorious and veteran force was doomed to escape this time. Although as the elite of the local army, the soldiers are trained hard and well equipped, but there is a fatal flaw. This unit has no actual combat experience from top to bottom. It has only participated in some exercises and military parades, playing tricks on the form. However, when the infantry battalion was transferred to the front line, the officers and soldiers in the company were full of morale and confidence. The soldiers thought they were well-trained, not the incompetent parallel imports of Dover, and believed that as long as they were treated with care, Never repeat the mistakes of those guys. In fact, the Royal Flintlock Regiment is indeed not a mere name, at least in terms of equipment, ahead of most of the ordinary army units. The battalion not only has its own artillery and engineering units, but each company is also assigned one. The rare anti-tank platoon, although only two two-pounder guns and anti-tank rifles, is enough to make brothers coveted. But when these proud soldiers of the British Empire really went to the battlefield. Only then did I know what is the cruelty of war, and how ignorant and arrogant I was in my previous performance. In the first encounter, the Germans fully showed them what a real elite unit is and what it is called a Hundred Fighters. It took only half an hour for the German infantry to fully break through the first line of defense they built. In this short thirty minutes, the Royal Flintlock Regiment lost all its anti-tank weapons and almost half of its soldiers. One of the infantry company was surrounded and wiped out by the Germans because it was too late to retreat. Immediately, the remaining British troops withdrew to the second line of defense and rested. The German troops temporarily stopped and began to consolidate the positions they had just occupied. Although the German troops were brilliant, they were not undamaged. The British troops are fierce. Under the interception of the firepower, many brave German soldiers fell on the charge. In the next half an hour, the soldiers from both sides launched a messy fire across a 400-meter-square grass field. The main purpose was not to kill the enemy. But to increase the psychological pressure of the opponent. Although the British soldiers were extremely tenacious, they were unable to change the fact that the initiative fell in the hands of their opponents. They were stuck by the Germans, and their weapons and strength were severely damaged. At present, there is nothing to do except passive defense. To make matters worse, the German shelling interrupted the telephone line, and they lost contact with the higher-level command department, and the reinforcements promised by the higher-level before disappeared. The German army on the opposite side didn't care about this much. After reorganizing the offensive force, it immediately attacked the British second-line position. Standard as a textbook. After an artillery preparation, the offensive was in full swing. Following the practice of daytime operations, the German infantry began to release white smoke in front of the British positions. Cover the sight of the British machine gun fire and cover the impact of the infantry assault group. The British army had suffered before and knew that the German army was capable of this trick, but because of the lack of artillery firepower, it was unable to come up with a corresponding countermeasure plan. The British soldiers could only blindly shoot at the smoke zone, hoping to cause some obstacles to the German infantry. Afterwards, this method proved to be really limited. When the smoke began to dissipate, the British soldiers were horrified to find that the gray figure of the German assault soldier was close at hand. These well-trained German light infantry. The cat moved quickly and quietly in the smoke, without rushing forward. Instead, it cut diagonally across the open space in front of the position and attacked the relatively weak flank positions of the British army. Found that the smoke was about to disperse. The German soldiers accelerated their assault speed. They ran quickly, and the machine guns and mortars on the German positions began to fire continuously, suppressing the firepower of the British machine guns that threatened their infantry the most. The German infantry offensive tactics have worked once again. The weakness of the flintlock regiment's lack of combat experience is exposed here, and this time they no longer have the front-line artillery firepower that can threaten the light infantry assault. Although the British soldiers fired desperately, it was no help. Only two soldiers of the German commando fell in front of the position, and the remaining infantry squad roared into the British position. The German infantry showed their superiority in close-range firepower in the British trenches. Soon the British army’s frontline collapsed with their morale. The soldiers threw away their weapons, scrambled out of the trenches and moved towards Escape from the city alley not far behind. From this to London, there is no longer a third line of defense. Even if there is, these soldiers who have been frightened can no longer fight. Of course, the German commander would not waste the opportunity in front of him. He ordered the troops to launch a full-line pursuit, capture prisoners as much as possible, and seize the opponent's weapons and materials. At the same time, the major battalion commander of the 3rd Infantry Division reported to his superiors that the Cypriot Legion had broken through the British perimeter defense line and entered the city of London. At this time, Guderian's tank unit also completed the outflank movement of the London City flank. The vanguard of the 2nd Armored Division progressed smoothly in the initial stage, and it can be said that the momentum has been broken. The intelligence was confirmed to be accurate, and there was indeed a huge gap in London's west line of defense. In order to catch the gap before the British army can fill the gap, Major Heisler’s armored battalion rushes forward like a regiment of fire. He ruthlessly crushes any object that dared to block his way. There are countless peaceful and beautiful outside Londons. The community turned into a burning rubble under the tracks and muzzle of German tanks. The village and town combat manual issued by the British army misled a large number of people. They set up traps strictly according to the method written in the manual, but found that they encountered a completely unreasonable opponent. The British National Defence team expressed angrily, These Germans do not follow the rules and do not follow the routines written in the books. The Germans’ methods are simple and rude. As long as they find a room where a bullet has been fired, they will blow up the house and even the entire block where it is located. The various traps and roadblocks carefully arranged by the British military engineers basically did not play any role, because there was no corresponding fire cover, and the German army easily took these expensive obstacles without any obstruction. The objects are cleared one by one. Major Heisler’s tank battalion was not unscathed along the way. At least five No. 2 and two No. 3 tanks were damaged. There were more than 20 German armored soldiers with casualties. The armored grenadiers were there. The loss was not small. A half-track personnel carrier accidentally slammed into the British anti-tank position while carrying out a reconnaissance mission. As a result, it was hit head-on by the British anti-tank gun. None of the soldiers survived. Although this position was subsequently razed to the ground by angry German armored soldiers, the loss has already been caused, and no amount of remediation can save the lives of these soldiers. The second armored battalion was overwhelmed by thorns and finally reached the target area within the scheduled time. Major Heisler led his men to deploy on-the-spot defense, repelling the British army including tanks five times within three hours. Mass assault. When the follow-up troops arrived, the armored battalion was on the verge of running out of ammunition and food, and the machine gun bullets were almost exhausted. On average, there were only two artillery shells left for each artillery. If the British army continued to attack, these tanks could only be used as The bulldozer came to use. Guderian's armored cluster quickly stabilized this breakthrough, and then he continued to use the Second Armored Division as an arrow, advancing along the intercity highway from south to north towards the Thames. After the German armored units inserted into the British western line of defense, the western section of the London outer line of defense was now in useless and completely lost its defensive role. Because the western part of the city looks safer compared to the eastern and southern defense lines facing the German attack. Therefore, only a group of mobs, mainly reserve and self-defense personnel, are responsible for defense in those positions. When they noticed that the German army appeared behind them and cut off their contact with the city of London~IndoMTL.com~ these troops immediately fell into panic. Because of the shortage of supplies, these units have no food reserves at all. They rely on London for daily supplies. Now the key supply roads are all cut off by the German army, and these people will run out of food that night. The British army officers were prepared to organize a counterattack in accordance with the orders of their superiors, but these ordinary people were not ready to buy it. In their opinion, the battle was defeated. Although they vowed to defend Britain and protect the King, let them Carrying rifles and grenades to attack the German tanks, they thought they weren't crazy enough, but if the officers were willing to try, they could wave their flags for it from a distance. Soon the officers lost control of the troops, and hundreds of thousands fell apart in the afternoon. These people did not dare to cross the German line of defense and return to London, so they ran to surrounding villages and towns temporarily. Shelter. In their opinion, this battle cannot be fought forever. Many people plan to stay there until the end of the battle before returning to the city to reunite with their families. Look for a monthly pass. Now during the New Year’s double monthly pass period, I have a rare opportunity to vote for one or two. I once again ask everyone to vote for the monthly pass after reading the chapter. Thank you for your support of this book. (To be continued.)
