Chapter 776 Cannon Fodder on the Defense Line (Plus 4)
"The Germans, stop." At this time, on the other side of the anti-tank trenches, the officers in the headquarters were also under the greatest pressure.
The Thames River, which flows calmly, divides London into two, which also gives them great convenience. For example, they have been digging trenches desperately these days, mobilizing the people of all London to come to support, and finally dug out one. A fantastic anti-tank trench.
And this anti-tank trench was the proposal of Palesi Hobert, who was also in charge of defending London at this time.
It can be said that this is not a bad thing.
The strength of the German tank force is obvious to all. Who can stop the attack of the German tanks? No one dared to pat his chest and say he was sure.
If the Germans did not land, the British could have tossed twice. Now, the Germans have landed, and the powerful German army has come up. In this case, the outcome of the British is obvious.
Hobart had always been marginalized in the British army. He proposed the application plan of the tank, which was despised by a group of old antiques, and now, the facts have proved that his proposal is correct, but he is still the one who was excluded, the prophet with foresight, almost all tied to The fate of burning on the pillar.
However, Churchill enabled him, and even Churchill was not satisfied with Hobert, but at this time, Britain needed a commander who could fight, especially someone who was familiar with tank tactics.
From this point of view, it is absolutely correct to activate Hobert. After all, the founders of the German Blitz were all Hobart's students. Although Hobart was reactivated, the stage left for Hobert to play was very small.
The new armored divisions are being trained, and the new tanks they need to compete with the German Panther 3 tanks are still a long way off, and now, the Germans are about to hit the British capital, London!
Under such circumstances, Hobert was unexpectedly popular and became the leader of the London garrison. At the meeting, almost all senior officials of the various armies praised Hobert. Now, only those who are most familiar with tank tactics can Be able to lead everyone and win this counter-tank battle!
These statements made Hobert unable to refuse at all, and he became the commander of the garrison here.
But Hobert knew that those people didn't want to be commanders because they wanted to evacuate whenever they needed it!
His Majesty the King had already left overnight, and the members of the royal family had also left. I heard that the next step would be Churchill and others. When Churchill left, the senior officials of the army followed.
And myself, as the commander of the garrison in London, it is impossible to go, either victory or death.
As an older officer, Hobert has already figured out that life and death are just one thing, and now, all he needs is to defend his position.
On the day the Germans arrived, Hobert visited the front line from the headquarters in London, and now, it is the commander of the troops here, Harold Alexander, who is reporting to him the movements of the day. At this time, he is the new Commander of the British First Army.
The entire First Army, with a number of up to 200,000 people, is now all distributed on the defense line in southwest London. Their task is to firmly guard the front line here.
Of course, to put it more clearly, they are the cannon fodder.
Once the Germans attack, they will definitely be covered by an unbearable round of artillery fire. The Germans' firepower is quite dense, not to mention that the sky is still Germans.
As Germany landed in Plymouth, the German Air Force was also constantly changing. So far, Germany has moved to more than 800 fighter jets in the UK. These fighter jets firmly guard the air supremacy of the battlefield.
The British Spitfires suffered heavy losses every time they took off. Although they were not reconciled, they could only watch the air superiority of the battlefield fall into the hands of Germany little by little.
Those second-tier Stukas, the HS129s, can all shuttle back and forth, constantly destroying targets on the ground.
Seeing that the German tanks are about to attack, and now, this anti-tank trench built by Hobert has played a very effective role!
It is impossible for German tanks to cross the trenches!
Now, it is mainly time-consuming, which is good for the UK. When the support from the United States arrives, they don't have to cower so much. I heard that the tanks supported by the Americans have already sailed in the Atlantic Ocean and will soon reach the British mainland!
When there are tanks, the United Kingdom can also fight a counterattack, and even it is not impossible to drive the Germans away from its own territory.
"Let's not take chances," Hobert said: "Our trenches can only delay the Germans' actions, but cannot stop them completely. The Germans will definitely try their best to attack us. We must do it at any time. Be prepared, once the battle begins, it must be an extremely brutal battle."
This is a national war, and in such a war, the soldiers who went to the battlefield in the early stage have little chance of surviving. Now, the Germans are on the opposite side. It can be said that the Germans' offensive will soon start. , must be extremely violent, and there will be heavy casualties on our side.
Faith, at this time, firm belief, is the most important.
In the dark night sky, there are stars and a crescent moon, shining on the earth.
Suddenly, on the opposite side, the sound of a tweeter sounded.
"Listen to the soldiers on the opposite side, don't work for the Windsor family anymore! Now that you are fighting bloody battles, your king has fled London shamefully. He gave up his oath and abandoned you!"
In the darkness, all sounds were silent, and the voice on the opposite side was so clear.
"What, the king has left London? At the beginning, the king once said that he would live and die with London!" Suddenly, someone here exclaimed.
"If you resist to the end, there is no way out. Look at France, look at Poland, and you should know that the recalcitrant Poland no longer exists, and the France that complied with Germany still exists. For Britain, surrender is the most important thing. Good choice!"
"Think about it, what's the harm to you when you surrender? The people under our German rule have a higher standard of living, and now in France, the people's life has also improved a lot! Only the ruling class of the country will refuse Surrender, once they surrender, they will not be able to enjoy all the privileges they have now!"
"Wake up, put down your weapons, come here, there is a better life here, waiting for you!"
The sound is very loud, it is definitely a super tweeter, and it even drifted backward for several kilometers, and the headquarters here can hear it clearly.
Immediately, the expression on Hobart's face became serious: "Harold, immediately arrange a supervisory team to patrol the front line. If anyone shakes the heart of the army, shoot them on the spot!"
Germans are really black! How dare you play ass.
