Chapter 579 Leave some Seeds
"Machine gun, ready to shoot, fire-breathing tank, aim for me to burn!" At this time, Dietrich got back into his tank, ready to continue the fight.
This is a very exciting scene. One's own machine guns and flamethrowers massacred the British soldiers on the opposite side. The other side could only retreat, retreat, step on the corpses of their comrades, and retreat into the sea!
Those who stayed should not be able to swim anymore. What a spectacular scene these people should be when they got into the water!
If it was inside the city, Dietrich would also worry about the loss of his troops. Here, there are endless seasides. Here, tanks against infantry are a one-sided massacre!
The tanks were rumbling, and the soldiers who had been ready for a long time were waiting for the start of the battle.
Wait, what's going on?
The other party actually raised the white flag!
This made Dietrich very depressed, why did he surrender?
After raising the white flag, the other party stood up from behind one by one, raised their hands, their eyes were blurred, and their hearts were sad.
The war, for them, is over, and they will be captives and spend the rest of their time in prison camps until the war is over, and they will see the light of day again.
But it's better than dying for no reason. Their death is meaningless.
The 3rd Infantry Division, too many people have died, the British Empire, too many people have died, they really can't die.
"Stop advancing." Faced with these prisoners, Dietrich also lost his temper: "The 1st Panzergrenadier Regiment, keep these prisoners in custody."
They are tank soldiers, and they don't care about the prisoners. They are on all fronts. Many times, the British and French prisoners raised their hands, and they didn't even disarm. Their tanks rumbled past the other side. .
For them, capturing the enemy is a matter of follow-up troops, and their task is to keep advancing, advancing, advancing!
Dietrich was upset because he didn't kill him properly. Now, it was time for him to perform his second task, blocking the beach and preventing the British from retreating from the long coastline!
Block it here and see what other tricks the British have!
Across the Channel, Dover.
The ships sailed across the strait, riding the wind and waves, and only after they were called up did they receive a new mission. Their destination was not Dunkirk, but Calais next to them!
However, they did not complain. At this time, Churchill's words echoed in their minds, bring our child back!
It's just that for some reason, Churchill's voice was a bit spiky!
Dover Naval Port, HQ.
Vice Admiral Bertram Ramsay, holding the latest information, his face was extremely cold.
"If we had been one step earlier, we could have taken control of Calais, taken control of the nearby beaches, and could have brought our men back, but now, the German Waffen SS, has arrived."
Relying on the French to attract firepower, it is said that the main force of the Germans should be flocking to Dunkirk, but now, who would have thought that the Germans actually dispatched elites to appear in the Calais area.
From this side, using the binoculars, you can see the situation on the opposite side. On the beach, the German tanks are already lined up.
According to the spirit of the London meeting, Ramsay was in charge of the retreat. He was in charge of overall coordination and command. At the same time, he also had a capable command team under him.
Rear Admiral Wakewall was in charge of navigating the English Channel, and Admiral William Tennant was in charge of harbour and beach boarding, etc. Ramsay's most trusted men.
But now, they are too late.
It takes time to mobilize the ships, so it was not until the morning that they completed the preparations for departure. At the same time, according to the plan, it was also when the opposite expeditionary force captured the port.
Who would have thought that the main force of the Germans would suddenly appear?
"Now, to reopen the breach and rescue our expeditionary force, there is only one way." Ramsay's face was still grim: "Move our fleet up, bombard the coast with naval artillery, and repel the Germans. !"
On land, the German Panther 3 tanks are invincible, and nothing can stop their advance. On land, the various anti-armor weapons of the British and French coalition forces are ineffective against them.
However, this is land, sea, it is different.
Needless to say, those giant battleships have guns with a caliber of more than 400 mm. After one shot, the entire tank will be flattened. Just talking about the more than 100 mm guns of ordinary warships can already form an overwhelming effect on tanks. advantage.
Therefore, as long as the warship goes up, the gap can still be opened.
However, when they heard Ramsay's words, everyone present was taken aback.
Because, the British Navy, is no longer powerful.
Even just a year ago, the British Navy had a huge naval army with 12 battleships, 3 battlecruisers, and several aircraft carriers. However, after a few naval battles, the British Navy was almost castrated.
The British shipyard urgently started construction of a new Lion-class battleship, but it was unable to quench the thirst of the near. Now, the largest battleship they can dispatch is the 10,000-ton York-class heavy cruiser.
The sea power in the Atlantic Ocean has completely fallen into the hands of the Germans, and the precious warships can only stay in the harbor. As long as they go out, in front of the tens of thousands of German warships, they can only be killed.
These warships are the most precious seeds of the British Navy, but now, they are used to fight in the strait, bombarding the German troops on the opposite beach with naval guns, opening the gap and letting out their own troops!
The risks involved are undeniable.
Even if the Germans mastered the sea power, their fleet did not go to the English Channel to go wild. After all, they were too close to the British mainland, and their planes could deal a heavy blow to the German warships.
And now, when the German army has hit the French coastline, the British warships are not safe, because the German warplanes, especially those terrible dive bombers, will also attack their warships!
Leave some seeds for the British navy, you can't let all the warships be blown up and sunk by the Germans!
"Everyone, we can't just focus on the navy, we have to see that the elites of our British army are staying in France now. If these army forces are eaten by the Germans in France, then we will have no chance, only Little by little die!" Ramsay exclaimed.
