Chapter 589 Saving the Expeditionary Force

"Without air supremacy, our fleet can only be reduced to the prey of the Germans when it is dispatched." Lieutenant Colonel Jack Claustown said: "General, we cannot dispatch warships now!"

Now, the battle situation ahead is very dangerous. It is already noon. The French troops on the opposite side have all surrendered to the Germans, and only the British Expeditionary Force is left, still fighting bloody battles.

All around, hundreds of thousands of German troops are constantly shrinking the encirclement, squeezing the living space of the British Expeditionary Force. Their encirclement is constantly shrinking, and almost every second, there are British Army soldiers dying.

In this case, the navy, can no longer wait, must be dispatched immediately!

Ramsay holds this view. He is very concerned about the major situation. He knows that the soldiers of the expeditionary force are the last hope of Britain. Therefore, he very much wants the navy to dispatch immediately and bombard the opposite land with naval guns. The German army on the top opened a gap for the army to break through.

However, other naval officers were strongly opposed to doing so.

The Air Force has worked hard, but it is useless at all. The battle over the tragic strait is almost coming to an end. The Spitfire fighters on our side were shot down by hundreds, while the German fighters on the opposite side suffered less than two losses. Ten, the exchange ratio, was beyond the reach of the Royal Air Force.

So much so that Admiral Dawding was already backing down. He repeatedly suggested to Churchill that if the air force was wiped out over the strait, the air force would not be able to play its due role when encircling the English mainland.

This even made Churchill hesitate.

Everyone is hesitating, is there really no hope for the expeditionary army?

"If you want to act, you can only wait until night." Lieutenant Colonel Jack Claus Town continued: "At night, the other party can't see the sea clearly and cannot accurately target us. At the same time, the coastline is too long, as long as We open a breach and we can have soldiers surviving."

In the absence of air dominance, it is impossible during the day, you can only wait until night!

However, how much did the British Expeditionary Force have to sacrifice in order to wait until the night? Moreover, how many people can be rescued in one night?

All the people are silent, they know that no matter what choice they make, it will be quite difficult.

For the soldiers on the front line, every minute of hesitation is blood and death.

"Da da da." Just behind the Panther tank, several German soldiers were firing violently with MP38s in their hands.

They mobilized the tank. Of course, they would not just let the tank charge by itself. Behind the tank, there were also some infantrymen who could provide the tank with the safest guarantee.

A soldier keenly spotted a British soldier rushing up in front. Looking at the other party holding a bundle of grenades in his hand, he knew that the other party was going to blow up the tank, so he immediately shot his bullets in a dense manner. !

Soldier George was immediately swept down by a shuttle of bullets, his body swayed a few times, and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Harold here was also using his own machine gun to shoot at the opposite side, killing the German soldier who had exposed his body. Both sides were hit almost at the same time.

"George!" Harold shouted loudly. He watched George's body collapse and was very anxious. If he died, he would not be able to complete the task!

As if hearing his call, although George had fallen, he was still crawling forward little by little.

Fire cover! Harold put on a new magazine and continued to shoot in the opposite direction.

"Boom!" At this moment, the opponent's tank gun fired violently. Harold lowered his head in time, and the 88mm grenade lifted all the soil around him. Only the broken arm.

Harold, lost one of his arms! At this time, severe pain came, he endured the pain, continued to use the other arm, stabilized the machine gun, and opened fire!

"Da da da!" Behind, a German soldier showed his head again, and the bullet hit George's body. George, did not move.

The tank's crawler rolled over George's body, and Harold, who was behind, also felt his body, as if it was hollowed out, his body began to become cold, and his blood stained the entire position red. Moments before he lost consciousness, he looked at the opposite tank and rumbled up.

Their position was lost.

In later generations, Harold was the hero of the Great Retreat, awarded the Victoria Cross, the only highest British medal for heroism in the Dunkirk Retreat.

He commanded his company, withstood the ten hours of heavy artillery shelling, repelled the German charge again and again, and always defended the position. When there was a gap in the flank and neighboring troops, he took the initiative to lead 36 soldiers and rushed to support , repelled at least 500 German troops. Finally, when his troops ran out of ammunition and the core stronghold of the position was destroyed by German artillery fire, he took the remaining 8 officers and soldiers to trudge 16,000 meters in the water as deep as the chin, and returned to the back. The position, without rest and fighting in the position.

But now, Harold is not as heroic as in history, or in other words, he fought heroically, but unfortunately, in front of German tanks, the British army is like scum.

The British positions were constantly shrinking. When they were squeezed together, they did not need to attack. As long as they used rocket artillery, they could be blasted to death in the encirclement.

The British Expeditionary Force, is experiencing the most difficult day!

In order to rescue them, London made the greatest efforts, Churchill, who would never compromise, even released his request for help to the faraway Moscow.

Kremlin.

Here, is the heart of the Red Empire, especially now, after several years of great purges, all opposition has been purged, and everyone who remains has the utmost respect for the great leader Stalin, And Stalin lived here all the time.

With a two-stroke beard, Stalin was in good spirits. At this time, he was listening to the words of the British ambassador, Guise.

"Great leader, you are very wise, you should be able to see that if Germany unifies the whole of Europe, it will be the biggest threat to the Soviet Union, even if not long ago, you and Germany worked closely together to divide up the Poland." Guise came to lobby Stalin at Churchill's request.

How can we save the British Expeditionary Force? It is necessary to find ways from various aspects, for example, to persuade the Soviet Union to start a war with Germany in the east. Then, if Germany is attacked by the enemy, it will definitely divide its forces to the east, so that the pressure on its own side can be relieved, and only those expeditionary troops can be saved!
