Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 52: Paper-bound line of defense (1)

Although they kicked the problem into the arms of the Air Force by coincidence, the Army and the Navy definitely did not wait to see the air force jokes. You must know that the head of the air force is now in command of the air force, the German military god. (Шщш.щfiction net first published)

The commander-in-chief of the air force has not been appointed until now. Everyone can tell that the head of state is not ready to let others command the Luftwaffe at all. At least he will not consider this issue until he kills Britain.

"We also need to replenish a batch of oil and special ammunition from the country, which consumes a lot of training. In addition, many problems have been discovered during the training of the tank cluster on the beach. The front-line troops are studying solutions. The specific situation is the command of the A group army. The Ministry will submit an official written report. My head of state, I don’t know when the air force will start fighting against Britain, and the frontline forces report. During this period, the British Air Force conducted frequent aerial reconnaissance on our side. The scale of the assembly of forces and ships on the coastline It's getting bigger and bigger, and we can no longer cover up our intentions by disguise." Manstein said.

"We found that the radio traffic of the British army increased rapidly during this period. At the same time, we found that the coastal fortifications near Dover were being reinforced. At the same time, a large number of anti-landing obstacles appeared at several preliminary landing sites, and There are still many small ships moving at night along the British coast, which should be mine. In addition, the British army built a large fort in Dover and installed large-caliber artillery. Yesterday, we had a battle with our train gun group in Calais. A gun battle.” Keitel drew a circle on the map with a red pencil.

"Oh, how are the results, do we have any losses."

"According to the artillery observation report, the British army has only six 16-inch coastal artillery on the opposite side. But there is a group of artillery on our side. After a few salvos, the British retracted into the bunker. There is no loss."

"That's good, I will let the Air Force find out the exact positions of those artillery pieces, and these artillery pieces must be dealt with as soon as possible." Xu Jun nodded, and then looked at Manstein.

"I never expected our preparations to be able to hide from the British. We just need to remember that everything that is obstructing the advancement of the German army. It will be destroyed." Xu Jun did it with great momentum. A slashing gesture, then stood up.

"Our intelligence department is working very hard. We already know how many hole cards the British have left. So no matter what reaction the other side makes, I will only treat it as a bluff. In fact, , The truth is also true."

The spy lurking on the island with Odin's right eye has clearly touched the British's hole cards. In Xu Jun's eyes, the so-called English Channel line of defense is simply a piece of paper.

As long as the army boots of German soldiers step on the mud on the other side of the strait, it will only be a matter of time before the entire island falls. Because Xu Jun knows very well that there is currently no ground force on that island capable of blocking the advance of the German army.

The defeat of Dunkirk. All the ace troops of the British Army were sent to the German POW camps, and with a beautiful right uppercut by the Cypress Army in Cherbourg, the rest of the British Army in France also stayed in France. On the beach.

As a result, the entire British Isles at that time was full of a regular army with only two divisions left. Not only did it lack guns and artillery, but it also lacked personnel. This force is not enough for the Ninth Army of Germany as the first shock wave.

The emptiness of the homeland defense forced Churchill to madly dispatch troops from the colony to the homeland in these two months, trying to save the near thirst with distant water.

But those colonial troops are not meant to be mobilized by mobilization. These troops are the pillars to ensure the stability of the colony and cannot be used easily. Especially at this critical moment, if there is another mess in the colony. Then he is really the prime minister.

The prosperity of the British Empire depends on the wealth brought by these colonies. Without these colonies, the British Empire will immediately become a second-rate country in Europe, which is absolutely unbearable for the proud British.

Churchill has long made up his mind that even if he loses his homeland, he cannot lose overseas colonies. If he loses his homeland, he can establish a government in exile. If he loses his colony, he can never get it back.

Churchill racked his brains to dismantle and borrow only four colonial battalions and two Punjab battalions from India. In order to deploy these troops, the British and Indian government enlisted a large number of expatriates. In order to close the gap for these troops to leave, even so, the situation in India was in turmoil for several days.

These Anglo-Indian troops are now advancing towards Britain in three troop carriers, and they just passed the Ivory Coast yesterday. However, Xu Jun felt that it might be the last piece of land these soldiers saw, because the report on the whereabouts of the fleet was handed in by Dunnitz.

In addition to the colonies, Churchill also extended a helping hand to various Commonwealth countries. As a nominal sovereign state, this is a matter of course.

As a result, South Africa first responded. As a member of the Federation, it should organize troops as soon as possible to participate in the battle to defend the British mainland. It just takes time and so on. Anyway, Yishui’s diplomatic rhetoric is not very reliable at first glance.

The Canadians were more refreshing and replied that they could immediately organize the troops of the two divisions to rush to help. However, there was some trouble in the parliament. The troops may be delayed until next year. If the Prime Minister is still alive, the British Empire will still exist and the Canadians Definitely serve to repay your grace.

The New Zealanders didn't have many troops, and they wanted to wait until they were ready to dispatch. It is said that they would have to wait until after the Dodo lays eggs next year.

The remaining small states, small countries, and small tribes are either unarmed at all, or surrounded by powerful enemies, and even have problems with self-protection. They are trembling when they go to the toilet, not to mention the dispatch of troops.

When you come down, the only person who makes a substantial response is the simple-brained Australians. The knights of the wasteland really show in front of the people of the world what is called loyalty and patriotism.

Just as Churchill made a request, the Australians immediately sent eight infantry battalions from the Pacific side. However, when the troop carrier full of Australian soldiers just approached the African coastline, something that Australians could not understand happened.

The attitude of the British was so far from the predictions of the King Qin soldiers that the blood of these Australian soldiers instantly turned into a bitter cold. Originally, this group of Australian fierce people was still thinking that the active King Qin’s rescue like them might be personally received by His Majesty the King of England, but they didn’t expect that in the end, let alone the king, even the land of England could not allow them to step on it. .

Churchill was not even prepared to let the Australians help defend the island. As soon as the troop carrier arrived on the coast of Africa, he sent the group of passionate young men to Egypt to dig sand.

Lao Qiu believes in British imperial supremacy, and he doesn't believe in the combat effectiveness of those Australians. However, since others rushed to the door, he wouldn’t be polite. Old Qiu replaced the eight battalions with the lazy, unreliable, unreliable Aussie, who had no combat effectiveness, for the elite, The return of rigorously trained, loyal, reliable, and combative soldiers of the British Empire finally made the total number of the regular British army on the island enough for three divisions.

People all over the world know that crossing the river to demolish the bridge is the strength of the British, and the Australians have long been psychologically prepared for this, but this time they did not expect that the British would have begun to demolish the bridge before crossing the river.

Actually, Australians should be fortunate that they have not seen the majestic appearance of the British directly taking bridges to fill the river. In Xu Jun’s original time and space, Canadians were fortunate to see it once, but they were caught by Germany for a long time. People used MG42 to do it like harvesting wheat. He turned 900 alive and caught a small two thousand. In the end, he didn't understand how he became the "prelude" to the Normandy landing two years later.

Although Churchill had a regular army of three divisions under his command, he knew very well that if the Germans began to land, these three divisions would not even be able to make a splash if they were tossed down. This amount of troops used to defend the English Channel would be a drop in the bucket. Besides, a division has to be left to defend Ireland.

Churchill began to pin his hopes on the self-sacrifice spirit of the British people, and he began to vigorously form the "National Guard".

What is the "National Self-Defense Army", this is the name of the organization that Churchill personally gave. The scientific name is the militia, or the militia. It is called the resistance organization in Palestine and the anti-American armed forces in Iraq.

To put it bluntly, it means to arm ordinary civilians to resist German invasion. The combat effectiveness of armed civilians can be imagined, let alone other things, the professional scope alone is enough to make the clerk of the recruitment office stunned for a long time.

The members of the National Self-Defense Army range in age from sixteen to sixty. They have basically no military training. Many of them even touched a gun for the first time in their lives.

If you are lucky, you can still meet a retired veteran~IndoMTL.com~ but you don’t have to expect too much. It is hard to say whether this person participated in the First World War or the Boer War.

The most wordless thing is that the dignified National Self-Defense Army soldiers have a wide range of weapons that are beyond ordinary imagination.

From standard rifles to homemade shotguns, from breech powder guns to breech flintlock guns, from self-defense revolvers to palm thunders, almost a whole century of European hand-held firearms development history. In addition to these firearms, there are spears, two-handed swords, tomahawks, maces, African bats, Spanish daggers, longbows, steel crossbows and other cold weapons as auxiliary. However, those who possess these antique weapons are not ordinary people, more Many people only have pitchforks and rakes.

To let such a team resist the attack of the German professional army is basically a collective suicide.

Churchill knew this too well, so the first thing he did was to design a badge for this mob. . . .
