Chapter 597 The British Expeditionary Force Surrenders

"Dong dong, dong dong dong." An HS129 attack aircraft, flying low on the sea, immediately dived when it saw a British-flagged ship on the sea.

The 40mm machine gun roared on the sea, and a private yacht of several hundred tons was hit in an instant.

On the sea, there was a huge flame, and the person driving the yacht jumped into the water.

Don't say they are civilian ships. Now, these ships have been requisitioned for absolute military use! Therefore, the attack launched by the Germans did not have any restrictions that violated international conventions.

In an air battle in the morning, the British Air Force suffered heavy losses. Then, Germany launched another V-2 missile attack, killing the air base on the opposite side, so that by the afternoon, there were almost no British fighters overhead.

In this case, the attack planes with poor air combat capability, the Stuka bombers, were all dispatched. They were on the sea and fired mercilessly at the British ships below, so the British ships were ruthlessly driven out, they did not Don't dare to cross the middle line of the strait!

The situation was unfavorable for the British Expeditionary Force.

In a temporary air defense fortification, Gort, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, looked pale at the commander of the 1st Army, Alexander, in front of him.

"The Germans sent us an ultimatum. After half an hour, all their firepower will attack us, including thousands of rocket launchers."

Now, hundreds of thousands of the British Expeditionary Force are suppressed in a narrow seaside area. If the Germans carry out an artillery cover attack, they will definitely miss the bullet.

What is the use of many people? Now, if they want to rush, they can't go out, if they want to retreat, they can't leave. If they stay here, they can only end up dead.

"London, ordered us to hold on until the night, and the navy will try to open the breach again and rescue us out." Gott said: "Can we hold on until night?"

If there is hope, then they will continue to fight hard, not afraid of bloodshed, but if there is no hope, their persistence will be meaningless.

Can it last through the night?

Gott's heart was quite contradictory.

"The latest news is that Germany launched an attack on our homeland, using new weapons, one of our air bases was almost completely destroyed, and even our capital was bombed."

One by one bad news keeps coming, like the straw that breaks the camel's roots.

Gott's face was gloomy. He knew that the decision he had to make now was related to the fate of the entire expeditionary force. Should he continue to fight to the death or surrender?

Compared to Gott, the German on the opposite side is much more relaxed.

"I hope the British don't surrender so we can have a legitimate reason to wipe them all out," Dietrich said.

In Dietrich's heart, the tide is slowly coming. He is very interested in killing, but at the same time, he also knows Cyric's guidance. Every prisoner who puts down his weapon is needed by the empire. of labor, at least to drive them into the mines, continue to serve the Empire, and pay for their sins.

Therefore, if the other side lays down their weapons, Dietrich cannot indiscriminately kill prisoners of war. He hopes that the British will not surrender, so that he has a good reason to kill all the British.

Bloody killing is the mission of soldiers!

Compared with Dietrich, Guderian, the head of the SS, obviously considered more: "It is more important for us to capture the British than to kill them."

If the British Expeditionary Force is killed, then the British are equivalent to killing their son, husband, and father, then the British will definitely take revenge, and their will to fight will be stronger.

However, if the expeditionary force is only captured, it will not be so strong. Even because of the prisoner issue, the other party will soften its position, at least some of the British will soften. These prisoners are important pawns to split the British high-level.

Of course, the decision-making power is in the hands of the British, and they have the right to choose their own life and death.

The main force of the SS, as well as other armies in the north, it can be said that the main German army has gathered here, Guderian is waiting, and once the time is up, if the British have not surrendered, they must resolutely. Carry out the orders of Führer Cyric, and there will be no more Englishmen alive before dark!

Want to retreat? Dream it!

Time passed little by little, and the surrounding German troops had made their final preparations.

All the tanks were filled with gas and ammunition, and the infantrymen were also full of food. They even took a nap in the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle during the interval of the battle. Now they are full of energy. .

If you look at it from the sky, you can see that all around the British position are German troops. The innermost circle is the tank, followed by the infantry fighting vehicles, the infantry, and the outermost circle, which is suppressing firepower.

The multi-barrel rocket launchers are all ready, the barrels are raised, and they are waiting for the final order!

Most of the Waffen SS have tracked chassis, while other troops have a variety of off-road trucks. The rear of the truck is also equipped with an I-shaped launch rail instead of a launch tube.

In terms of number, there are really thousands of doors. When they are launched together, they can absolutely plough the positions of the British Expeditionary Force.

In addition to rocket launchers, field artillery of various calibers, there are also many, of course, full firepower.

As for the British in the encirclement, when they retreated, most of the heavy equipment was abandoned, and they had no chance of fighting back!

Dietrich has looked at his watch several times, and he can't wait to turn his watch hand around to get to four o'clock. That kind of scene is what Dietrich is looking forward to the most!

"It's coming soon." Dietrich looked at his watch again, there was only one lap of the second hand from four o'clock!

"The British, really have to resist to the end, General Guderian, give the order!" Dietrich said.

Guderian raised his arm and looked at his watch. The Swiss gold watch was very accurate. Sure enough, it was time!

"Pass my order, prepare..." Before Guderian's order was finished, an adjutant hurried in: "Good news, good news, the British on the opposite side raised the white flag!"

The British surrendered? Hearing this news, Dietrich threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it hard: "This is really bad news!"
