My Third Empire

Biquge www.readwn.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

Today's British Empire is already the old lady's New Year, and it is not as good as a year. The First World War ran out of the blood of this late hero, and this time Akado fought again, the British found a terrible fact up and down that they did n’t even have to fight again to make up for their family.

This time, the British Royal Navy scrapped together almost all of their families. They had wanted to compete with the German Navy, but they found it helpless to find that it was really a devil. The German Navy The overall strength of the British navy has been terrified by three points.

The generator project had just begun one day and two nights, and the Royal Navy had felt powerless. Although a large number of British civilian ships were involved in the rescue of the British soldiers, the fearful loss report was really a headache for the British government. . Within 36 hours, the British lost 1 cruiser, 8 destroyers, and 27 large transport ships. This does not include all kinds of civilian ships with temporary statistical difficulties. It is conservatively estimated that at least 100 ships were sunk by Germany, from 270 tons to 4000 tons Tons vary.

And such a huge loss only allowed the British to rush back less than 7,000 soldiers. It is estimated that if another 7,000 people are rushed back, at least 150,000 tons of ships will be lost. And the time will be extended to 4 days-this is almost the limit that the defense around Dunkirk can stick to. In other words, this time the British generator plan can only **** 15,000 soldiers back home.

As a result, during the daytime on the second day, which is the day after Montgomery left Dunkirk, the British venture organized a fleet of 221 warships, hoping to increase the number of rescuers to more than 20,000, but this action After the German Air Force and the German Navy cooperated in vain, and lost 43 civilian ships and 2 destroyers, the British Navy was forced to completely suspend the stupid actions of daytime operations.

There are still 310,000 troops in France and more than 137,000 people in Britain, who are staying in Dunkirk. These troops are on the ground, lack of medical supplies and supplies, and even more desperate is that they must also face There are thousands of elite infantry who have not played much against the German Army, and there are thousands of cannons that have just been pushed to the front by the Germans.

Because the combat time was advanced by one year, and because the Germans launched a war against Britain, France, and France more quickly under the direction of Akado, the number and proportion of troops in the Dunkirk encirclement circle have changed this time. . The number of British expeditionary forces this time is a little smaller, and the total strength is only a little over 170,000, including those who were served and killed in battle. Now it is only about 150,000, and France has a much larger force than the original. There are about 310,000 People are surrounded-of course, because of the surrender of Belgium, there is not a lot of Belgian troops in the circle.

What's terrible is that Akado is not as good as Hitler, and Air Force Commander Catherine has not been able to have an unparalleled influence in front of the head of state like Goring, so this time the air operations have more troops and ground operations. Did not stop. Of course, the German navy is also stronger than ever, and these factors together affected this Dunkirk battle.

On this day, another catastrophic fact lay in front of the British and French coalition forces. Two 400 mm caliber railroad guns captured by Germany in France and four other 280 mm caliber railroad guns were transported to Dunkirk together. The six cannons were arranged in effective shooting positions and could cover the port area of ​​Dunkirk. Two 400mm caliber heavy artillery fired for the first time that night, killing hundreds of British officers and soldiers on the pier Almost half.

A shell hit the concrete-built pier and directly blasted the pier out of a large pit with a diameter of 30 meters. There was a battalion waiting for the British army to evacuate. More than 170 people including the battalion chief were killed. . Of course, the second artillery was not so lucky, and only hit the nearby beach. Because the soft sand unloaded most of the power of this one-ton shell, it only caused dozens of casualties.

The 280 mm caliber cannon followed and fired, shelling the entire Dunkirk area, and just after entering the night, German bombers also came out of the nest, and more than 300 various types of bombers overwhelmed the British and French coalition positions. In one go, more than 1,200 tons of bombs were dropped, and the entire Dunkirk was blown into flames. Coupled with the crazy attack of the German submarines, the British Navy and civilian ships lost 31 ships of various sizes on this night before snatching back more than 1,900 people.

"You can't die like this anymore! No matter how many navy and civilian ships, it can't stand to be consumed like this!" A navy general complained loudly, patting the table.

Another general also nodded, agreeing: "We lost too much troops, it is simply adding a record to the Germans! The German bombing and shelling at night became more and more accurate, the loss at night was already fast and the loss at daytime That's the same! If we go on like this, our navy will have to sacrifice for the army in the English Channel! "

"Do you think our army is better?" Montgomery sat on the side without speaking, but another army general clapped on the table and raged: "We have 32,000 people retreating on board, and only 9,000 people arrived in the UK! Sinking on board at sea There are more soldiers than dead in battle! Is this concentrated to deliver food to the Germans? "

The Prime Minister Churchill, who was sitting on the throne, was also bitter to say, so this retreat was not what he wanted to see. Losing so much manpower and material resources, wasting so much combat power of the Navy, only rescued less than one-tenth of the troops, and the number of people killed during the escape at sea was more than the loss of combat on the frontal battlefield. For him, such an action was a total failure, so he immediately ordered an emergency meeting to discuss the next thing.

If the competition between the Navy and the Army seems to be a happy thing in peacetime, it can at least ensure orderly competition between each other. But this internal friction could no longer be allowed to interfere with combat operations, so Churchill decided to stop the quarrel in the conference room.

"Okay! You guys! Don't quarrel! Now the Navy has come up with two options to deal with this crisis." Churchill coughed and said, "Rather than arguing here, let's see what happens next. do it."

"The Navy has formulated two sets of combat plans. The first set of combat plans is to stop the generator operations of the rushed personnel to ensure the safety of the maritime transportation line of the Empire." A naval general said, "This set of plans can temporarily save some navies. Force, so that the naval ship formation is too large to have time to rest. "

"Abandon? Abandon the Army's remaining hundreds of thousands of troops in Dunkirk? It's very light. If the German team landed, what would we use to fight back? Use the Boy Scouts?" An army general snorted.

"Then, General Montgomery. I want to know that if our expeditionary army is annihilated in Dunkirk, it is now possible for us to guard the British mainland." Churchill looked at Montgomery, the commander of the new Third Army, and asked Road.

"Now we have about 80,000 soldiers who can fight a war, and counting the 10,000 people who retreated, we have about 90,000 people who can immediately enter the battle, but they lack heavy weapons and equipment." Montgomery said honestly: "We are To mobilize troops, about a month later, about 100,000 troops will be trained, but the combat effectiveness of these troops is hard to say. "

"200,000 troops? 200,000 troops? Half a million troops were defeated by the Germans. What effect can 200,000 people have?" A British army general sighed helplessly and said, "Even if it is 300,000 people It ’s hard to say how much it can do. "

"We estimate that Germany can raise about 100 transport ships. If Germany intends to use armored forces on the British Isles, the first wave of troops will not exceed 40,000. Even so, we do not actually account for part of it. Advantage. "Montgomery said:" Germany used a large number of airborne troops in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Norway, which caused us trouble in deploying defenses. If we defend the various points to disperse the force, then even if it has twice the force, Nor can it guarantee absolute security in the southern region. "

He said that he did n’t finish everything here, and he continued to hit Churchill ’s fragile heart: "Our a13 Mark 2 tank and Matilda 2 tank are not as good as the German leopard tank, so if you want to land Germany The armored forces of the troops rushed to the sea and must equip at least 1,000 tanks. "

"1000 cars?" Churchill was also taken aback by Montgomery's claim, but he knew that there are still a few pounds in Britain. The Navy is waiting for the new ship to launch like crazy, and the Air Force ’s documents urging the production of hurricane fighters are about to bury him. Now the Army is also coming to urge debts. Does this keep him alive?

Thinking of this, he had to look at his old men in the navy, and said hardly: "Or, let's discuss the second set of plans? After all, the first set of plans consumes the army too much. Now. "

"The second set of plans was proposed by Captain Cole of the Hood and Lieutenant General Holland, the fleet commander. This set of plans is to mobilize the Royal Navy's main fleet to annihilate the German high seas fleet in the English Channel." Said a general.

Next to him, Lieutenant General Holland stood up and said: "As long as we can kill the German high seas fleet in one fell swoop, then the generator plan can be carried out during the day, and the surrounded army troops can be rescued!"

"Lieutenant Holland! I hope you can understand that we still have no good way to deal with the German high seas fleet. If we rush, we will only catch the naval fleet." Churchill said with a frown, he knew that if the navy fleet rushed, It means suicide.

"I'm sure to wipe out the German high seas fleet! Because, they have one of their biggest weaknesses!" Lieutenant General Holland said with ambition.
