My Third Empire

When Montgomery had read the report submitted to him by the poor Norwich Armored Brigade, there was still no sorrow and joy on his face. The world understands that there are too few people in the German team, and in the counts, it is only him Montgomery, and that de Gaulle who has no military power.

The German Air Force likes to be at the forefront of armored forces. They attack all the targets they can find, wantonly slaughter opponents' troops, destroy staging points and logistics facilities, and let the enemy's counterattacks tend to collapse before they start.

This was what Charles de Gaulle told Montgomery, and it was also the conclusion after several head-to-head battles with the German armored forces. He believes that using the superior air force to compress the depth of the opponent's defense line and destroy most of the enemy's defense force is the key to the victory of the German armored forces.

Of course, there is a supplement behind him, and the words in it are more helpless: and as far as I know, the combat effectiveness of the German armored forces themselves is absolutely world-class. They are tenacious and extremely fierce, and often make bold and timely responses locally-in terms of combat effectiveness, they can defeat any opponent, so don't underestimate any German armored force, because they are enough to change the situation.

Montgomery remembered this commendable evaluation, as well as the French leader in exile who was full of respect when he mentioned the German armored forces. He felt that even with such an excellent evaluation of the German armored forces, he still could not fully describe this respectable opponent.

"This is a team that often creates miracles. They have a good sense of battle and have a spirit of sacrifice. The lesson learned from the countless losses is that the German armored forces are fully capable of facing opponents who have a numerical advantage. So I suggest that even if you have Do not attack the German armored troops with twice the strength. "After considering for a long time, Montgomery finally began to write his report. At the beginning, he evaluated the German armored troops with words more straightforward than Charles de Gaulle.

The British had numerous loopholes in the battle of the groves, insufficient training and chaotic command. If they were to be summarized, it would be enough for them to write dozens of pages of reports. These various problems directly pushed a Mitchell Weitman to the altar, allowing Germany to completely establish its foothold in the landing field.

For example, nearly 100 tanks of the entire brigade actually left only two tanks on the alert road direction. In other areas, only armored vehicles were installed as peripheral security lines. After the armored vehicle was destroyed, the entire unit still had no response. Some are sleeping in tents.

Then after the massacre of the Wittmann car crew began, these British soldiers were in a state of chaos and no rules. A large half of the troops that were not attacked on the other side of a road turned out to have no tanks rushing across the road to reinforce them.

At the same time, the chaos of the radio also caused difficulties for the coordination and command of the troops. Only about half of the British tanks were temporarily equipped with radio systems, and many captains did not even have the habit of using them. After this lack of coordination, 20 tanks were destroyed by the entire force, more than half of people still did not know what happened.

Originally, the British had the opportunity to destroy the German Tiger tank that has been rumored to be death, but the lack of communication and scheduling made the British Norwich armored brigade have a number of advantages but did not play out. Weitman completed an anti-sky battle that destroyed 25 tanks.

In fact, Weitman ’s actions are risky and dangerous. First of all, he is not performing an assault mission, but is responsible for confirming and investigating. After encountering the British armored vehicle, he should have retreated immediately and contacted the armored reconnaissance vehicle waiting behind, but He took a crazy decision to continue the attack.

Then, after he entered the British camp, he found more British tanks than he thought. He still had the opportunity to retreat immediately. At this time, he had accomplished the task very well and proved the reality of the British armored forces. However, he did not choose to leave, but directed his tank to start an irrational attack.

I have to admit that it is not the superb technology and extraordinary ability to save the German car group, but the luck of the sky. The three times they were hit were not the engine compartment behind the fragile car body, but the stronger turret part. The deadliest two hit the plug-in debris once, and once bounced off due to angle problems-if it wasn't luck, they would have to die twice to complete the same battle.

It was proved afterwards that his irrational and crazy behavior was very correct in the circumstances at that time. They created a miracle and destroyed 25 opponents' tanks in one fell swoop. It disrupted the British military's campaign deployment, leaving the only British armored force nearby that had not yet exerted force to withdraw from the battle in the most unlucky way.

Weitmann became the new idol of the German armored forces, but did a deep inspection inside the troops where it was located. He got the medal like the Iron Knight of the Leaf Knight that everyone longed for, but was forced to take this medal as a whole regiment of tank captains to review the various mistakes he made in the battle.

It ’s not necessary to think about promotion, he is still the deposed lieutenant, he is still the commander of the tiger tank, and he is still the frontline commander of the only tiger tank unit in the landing force, but He was strictly forbidden to charge alone.

Montgomery has two main routes to support the Norwich area, one is through London to Colchester and then to Ipswich and finally rushed to Norwich; the other is via Harlow North to Cambridge and then to Norwich . These two lines have their own advantages.

The advantage of taking the first route is that the distance is relatively short, and you can reach the Norwich area with the shortest distance. However, the shortcomings are obvious. This road is close to the coast and it is easy to be blown up by the Luftwaffe.

The second route is relatively safe. It is not easy to be attacked by German naval aviation in the hinterland of the United Kingdom. Although it was bombed several times, it is already paradise compared to the first route. Of course, this road is far away, and the time to reach Norwich may not be much faster.

After some consideration, Montgomery adopted a helpless method of dividing troops to ensure that the time for reinforcement of Norwich was minimized. He himself led most of the army from Harlow north to Cambridge, taking a relatively long path, while an armored regiment with rich combat experience took Colchester, trying to avoid the blockade of the German navy and air force.

As for the Norwich Armored Brigade destined for the shameful battle of the woods, Montgomery ordered them to switch directions and go to reinforce Yarmouth to prevent the German armored forces from taking the second coastal city and expanding transportation throughput.

So the Norwich Armored Brigade, destined to be remembered by everyone for their luck, began their unlucky journey. Poorly they endured the German Air Force bombing, and after losing 15 tanks, they barely reached the periphery of Great Yarmouth. As a result, they found that it had been occupied by the 1st Division of the German Marines.

The helpless British armored soldiers had to tentatively attack once. As a result, they lost 2 tanks and 20 infantry. After they reached the conclusion that Great Yarmouth could not be taken back, they began to retreat with their helmets and armor discarded. Along the river all the way back to Norwich was a firm foothold.

An armored unit, starting from Norwich, drove to the area south of Buckton and was ordered to fight back against the German landing forces-as a result, a third of its equipment personnel were lost by air strikes, and another was killed in an unknown forest. The German tanks killed 25 tanks, then were retreated to Great Yarmouth by air strikes, and finally returned to Norwich ... wasting the most precious 72 hours, this important armored force lost two thirds of itself The weapons and personnel then returned to the place of departure.

If you think that the pitiful Norwich Armored Brigade is all over now, you are wrong. After they returned to Norwich, they were ordered to non-stop to help Cromer-such a war-defeated force was even sent to perform tasks, which shows what the British beach attack and defense has reached at this time. Hardship.

The armored brigade re-started after recruiting 300 new recruits. They were preparing to go to Cromer along the railway. As a result, they met the troops of the second German armored division on the other river and played Norwich for 15 minutes. The armoured brigade collapsed again, dropping the remains of 10 tanks and the bodies of 110 soldiers.

Just arrived in Norwich to replace the old and heavy but slow responding General Powell and took over the command of the defense of the Norwich area. Montgomery only discovered that the German landing forces had controlled the vast landing site from Cromer South to Great Yarmouth in the north. It opened up a defense in depth of about ten kilometers. It has even occupied two nearby field airports ... It can be said that the Germans have completely established their footholds on British soil.

There is nothing worse than this. The German armored forces, covering a large number of infantry, have advanced to the river's edge, only ten kilometers away from the important town of Norwich. According to preliminary calculations, at least hundreds of thousands of German troops have landed ashore, and the entire landing site can be said to have been operated as a solid solution.

Montgomery really wanted to curse people. He wanted to raise the table and then pointed at a group of British commanders with swearing questions and asked if they were idiots. Just as he was about to riot and fall, the poor British Norwich Armored Brigade returned to Norwich with defeated soldiers.

Seems to vent the anger in his heart, and it seems that there is really no good response. After Montgomery took over the command, the first command was to disband the poor armored brigade returned to Norwich, and he was incorporated into his armor. Since then, the Norwich Armored Brigade no longer exists, ending its poor life.
