Chapter 784 Plan B
"Prime Minister, it's time for us to go." At this time, at No. 10 Downing Street, Churchill's personal bodyguard Thompson said to him quietly.
time to go.
The king is gone, what's the point of keeping these people? Of course it has to move.
At this time, Churchill felt that he was interesting enough. He stayed here, but waited until the end. Now, the German army has moved to the periphery of London, and the fierce battle has already started.
In any case, Churchill is standing on the last post. Now, he needs to evacuate, continue to organize troops in the rear, prepare supplies, and contribute to driving out the Germans.
One last glance at his office, Churchill actually had a different feeling. After leaving this time, will he come back in the future?
If the Germans are crazy enough, I am afraid that the whole of London will be razed to the ground, then there will be nothing here. The Germans may really be able to do it.
Therefore, when oneself left, the citizens in the city would also move away. In fact, when the Germans landed in Plymouth, London began to move. Factories, schools, and hospitals were all moving to the rear.
After he left, the civilians here were also relocated, leaving only the soldiers. The battle for the defense of London will also leave a strong page in history.
gone.
Taking heavy steps and walking out step by step, just before going out, the phone on the table rang.
So Churchill walked back and answered the phone.
"Yes, I am the Prime Minister."
"What? Has it really reached that point?" Churchill's face changed suddenly when he heard the voice on the phone.
The call was from Hobart, and Churchill still remembered the shock on his face when Hobart reported London's defense plan to him.
And now, on the first day of the defensive battle, is Hobert going to do that?
"Yes, Prime Minister, this is a necessary plan that we can stick to. Only by doing this can we offset the German tank advantage." The voice on the phone was still firm.
"Okay, since you insist on doing this, then I authorize you to act according to Plan B." Churchill said, and when he finished saying this, he suddenly felt a burst of relief.
Yes, it's easy. When Hobart reported the plan, Churchill had a hunch that this plan B would eventually be used, but he didn't expect it to be used so quickly.
Churchill certainly knew the danger of this plan, and even he would be ruined because of it, but if the Germans ravaged London, it would make the whole British people suffer even more!
After putting down the phone, Hobert was relieved for a while. Now that he has decided, what is there to be afraid of? Whatever the consequences, bear it yourself.
"Immediately order the troops on the first line of defense to retreat and retreat to the second line of defense. In half an hour, the retreat is completed. If some heavy weapons cannot be taken away, they will be bombed." said to Harold.
"Why?" Harold was stunned when he heard this order.
The entire line of defense has been dug day and night for so many days before the fortifications have been dug out, but now, the first line of defense has to be abandoned?
If there is a reason, of course, it is conceivable that the German tanks have broken through the first line of defense of their own, and they shamelessly charged towards both sides, wanting to eat the troops deployed on the first line of defense. .
However, the actions of the Germans will still be limited. At the farther distances of the defense lines on both sides, they will still have enough reaction time to turn the anti-tank guns around and deal with the German tanks.
It is impossible for the Germans to eat all their own troops in one go, and they can hold on for at least two or three days.
Now, to withdraw to the second line of defense?
The second line of defense is not so tight. There are so many trenches and many fortifications are crude. Since the first line of defense cannot stop the Germans, is there any hope for the second line of defense?
Behind the second line of defense is the city. Do you want to return to the city to fight in the streets?
It seems that the Germans will not agree, they prefer to level the city!
"Execute the order," Hobert said. "You will understand in half an hour."
This plan is too terrifying, in order to prevent accidents, even Harold does not know.
"Yes, I carry out the order." Harold said, now, he can only choose to trust his immediate superior, there is a way to get out of the current predicament.
The Germans' attack could not last. They rushed for about three kilometers and then stopped temporarily.
This offensive surface is already wide enough, three kilometers on one side and six kilometers on both sides.
The tank at Dinasburg stopped. At this time, the engine at the rear was still rumbling, and his turret pointed to the back of the British defense line.
Along the way, at least more than 20 anti-tank guns were knocked off, which scared the British! Moreover, the British here can't escape even if they want to run, and their back path has been cut off by their own side.
The British, if they don't want to perish, they can only surrender!
When the tank stopped, the infantry who followed the tank rushed towards the British position. In their hands, holding MP38 submachine guns, from time to time, they shot violently towards the back of the British!
The dense bullets hit the British positions. Although their trenches were dug well, the direction of protection was all in front, and their backs were all exposed.
Now they are like lambs to be slaughtered.
Although the rifles in their hands were not firing fast, and although their machine gun positions were being called out by the opponent's tanks one by one, the British here seemed to have burst out all their will and were still fighting.
"Boom!" The tank gun fired again, and a machine gun position was killed. From the sight, watching the machine gunner's body was blown into pieces, Carl's face did not show any expression.
If you don't surrender, kill them all! In these trenches, the tanks are not easy to use, so they will be handed over to their own soldiers to solve it!
He continued to turn the turret bored, looking for suspicious targets, and suddenly, he found an unusual scene.
"The commander, the British in the distance, seem to be retreating, they are running back from the position here."
Originally, he was afraid that the British positions over there would launch anti-tank guns to hit his tanks, and he never let down his guard, but now, he found that the British were retreating.
"If you don't want to be surrounded by us, then the British had better retreat immediately. Their frontline position has no value." Dinasburg said.
As long as we eat the British army here and completely open a big hole, then in the next step, the tanks of several divisions will come in and crush the British on this first line of defense, and they will not retreat. , Are you still waiting to die?
