In the command room of the extremely spacious German High Command, telephones and telegraphs were ringing noisily. The combat staff were busy marking the battlefield situation on maps and sand tables. It was bustling and orderly.

"The main force of the British army was transferred to Plymouth."

"Norwich's attack started."

"The Dover bunker group has been completely destroyed, and the K5 artillery group is extending its fire."

"An air battle breaks out over Plymouth."

"The Plymouth Defense Force raised the white flag on all fronts!"

Listening to Viscount Ouston's order on the radio to raise the white flag across the entire line and give up resistance, the soldiers on the front line were naturally surprised, but no one would have thought that their commander had been kidnapped, and they would kill these soldiers in order to save their own lives. lie.

The commander explained to them that Britain was going to have peace talks with Germany and was preparing to cede the Plymouth area to Germany in exchange for peace. Anyone who dares to disobey and attack the German army is a sinner of the British Empire and a destroyer of peace.

"Sinner of the British Empire", with such a big hat hanging on his head, although many soldiers felt indignant at this behavior of raising the white flag without firing a shot, no one dared to disobey. Coupled with the belief that "the British Empire will soon regroup to counterattack the Germans", they chose to obey the commander's order and watched the German Liberty Ship dock steadily at the port of Plymouth.

Accompanied by the roar of engines, tanks one after another drove out of the cabin. Today's Jackal tank has been modified and upgraded. The original 50mm KwK 39L/60 tank gun has been replaced by a 75mm kwk 40L/48 tank gun. The front armor thickness has also reached 80 mm, and the engine has been upgraded to 420 horsepower.

When the first German tank drove onto British soil, densely packed transport helicopters flew in the sky.

The British soldiers, who were sitting dejectedly in the barracks doing nothing, heard a loud rumble in the sky outside. Out of curiosity, they walked out of the barracks one by one and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Oh my God, what are those?!" Most of these soldiers had never seen such a new thing as a helicopter, and they watched in astonishment as the wingless planes whizzed past overhead, making a sudden sound. What is different from ordinary airplanes is that the huge propeller is above the entire airplane.

In the shocked eyes of these British soldiers, four helicopters hovered over the camp. The strong wind whipped up by the propeller blew the leaves on the ground flying all over the sky, and the thick trunks swayed this way and that.

The British soldiers used their hands to resist the flying sand and dust, and squinted their eyes to see several ropes hanging from the hovering helicopters. One by one, the fully armed German soldiers grabbed the ropes and quickly slid to the ground. When he landed, he immediately pointed the black muzzle at the surrounding British soldiers.

"Who is the commander here?" A German officer wearing the rank of second lieutenant walked up to a British soldier who seemed to be stunned, and asked loudly in extremely standard English at the top of his lungs.

"..." The British soldier's panicked eyes scanned the surrounding crowd, and finally settled on the officer wearing the rank of captain not far away. The captain seemed to have guessed what the Germans meant, and walked over and said loudly. "Our battalion commander went to the headquarters for a meeting. I am Captain Smith." As he spoke, he saw the four aircraft slowly flying over the corner of the base and surrounding the entire base. There are two revolver-like cylinders hung below each aircraft, and there are machine gunners operating machine guns by the hatch.

The German second lieutenant certainly knew that these commanders were controlled at the headquarters. "Captain Smith, you must have received orders from His Excellency Commander Allston, right?"

"Yes, all the weapons have been put into storage." Captain Smith never dreamed that one day he would issue such a humiliating order and surrender without firing a shot. He didn't want to say anything more to these Germans, so he only gave the most concise answer. He was more concerned about what kind of weapons would be mounted on the Germans' weird aircraft. Since the beginning of the war, the Germans have been developing new weapons one after another. This must be an extremely cruel murder weapon.

The German nodded with satisfaction. "Captain Smith, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, please have all your soldiers return to their barracks and stay on standby. Do not move around at will." Although these prisoners will be transported back to Germany and thrown into prisoner of war camps, the German troops who have landed at Plymouth Port are now It was crowded, and bringing these British soldiers over at this time would definitely cause a chaotic congestion.

So what they have to do is to control these British prisoners first to prevent them from rebelling and causing unnecessary trouble.

Captain Smith nodded and gave the order to the surrounding soldiers to return to the barracks.

Looking at the scattered British soldiers, the German second lieutenant turned around and gave orders to the soldiers behind him. "Becker, you lead the first squad to guard the arsenal; Koch, you lead the second squad to guard the surrounding guard towers; Bowen, your squad patrols with me."

"yes!!"

Although these British soldiers have given up resistance, after all, the number of people in a battalion is there. Being guarded by a mere platoon of soldiers would not make anyone feel at ease.

The German paratroopers quickly occupied various military locations in Plymouth with lightning speed.

When the British ground reinforcements just arrived at Exeter Railway Station, they heard such bad news. Commander Brandon of the British 12th Armored Division was stunned on the spot.

Plymouth fell in less than half a day? !

That is a total of 60,000 British soldiers and a complete defense system!

How did the Germans defeat it in such a short time? what is happening? !

"Quick, order everyone to enter the city quickly and build fortifications!" However, he was not a confused person. After he recovered, he immediately ordered the troops to garrison in Exeter.

After hearing this order, the adjutant couldn't help but be stunned. "Shouldn't we be heading to Plymouth to defeat the Germans?"

"..." Commander Brandon couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at this hot-blooded young man. Are the Germans so easy to defeat? Is it really that easy to be labeled as a local?

He was one of the officers who returned from Dunkirk, and he had a deep understanding of the power of the German armored forces; if he wanted to confront the German armored forces head-on, he would only be wiped out.

Fortunately, they now have a geographical advantage. This has been a mining area since ancient times, and the mining history here can even be traced back to the Stone Age; the mining of tin, lead, zinc, silver, red copper and porcelain clay has become an important pillar of the mining economy. After years of excavation and mining, a large number of abandoned old mines have been left nearby.

It is impossible for a tank to wander around in this kind of terrain. If you are not careful, you will fall into a big pit.

If the Germans wanted to move towards London quickly, they could only move along the road.

Exeter is located on the only road from Plymouth to London. Since he failed to reach Plymouth to block the German landing, Commander Blanton decided to meet the Germans at Exeter.

Even if the performance of British tanks is not as good as that of German tanks, the performance of tanks will be greatly reduced in complex urban environments. Even if one's own tanks are used as fixed turrets, they can still cause heavy damage to the German army.
