This was an unequal battle. The British knew this from the beginning. They did not intend to fight the Germans in the end, at least at the command level. ￥f, senior officers understand the whole plan, they only need to hold on to the defense line for twelve hours, wait for Prince Henry to grasp the situation, and immediately surrender to the German army.

But the soldiers knew nothing about it. They were told that the empire was at stake. The strong enemy was approaching the city. They wanted to burn the city to kill the people. The ambitions and traitors betrayed the people and willingly acted as an aggression. The internal response of the army, generals and politicians want to murder the royal family and subvert the great and glorious British Empire.

At this time, the brave soldiers of the guards must stand up and stop. As guards of the royal family, they must not allow this to happen. They are the last hope of this country. Prince Henry will lead them to continue resistance. At this moment, The British Empire requires every soldier to stick to his post and do his due diligence. They will be included in the history of the British Empire as heroes who fought against foreign enemies.

The soldiers of the guards listened to this temptation, and blocked the German chariot with blood filled with blood. The problem is that their commanders are obviously too optimistic. They greatly overestimated the Royal Guards. This force is not as powerful as they thought.

The result was beyond the expectation of all the conspirators. Their resistance only blocked the Germans for more than three hours. When the bell of Elizabeth Tower sounded at two in the afternoon, the British defense line in Westminster had been broken across the board. Five The Royal Guards were all broken up, and three of them were nearly wiped out. The situation completely collapsed.

At this time, the mutiny officers had lost effective control of the troops. The British army lacked radio communication equipment and basically relied on wired telephones for command. Once the defenders were driven out of their original positions, the British superiors and subordinate units would immediately lose contact.

In the fierce street fighting, the survival index of British soldiers has dropped to freezing point. German snipers really appreciate these brave soldiers flying back and forth on the open streets, but this does not prevent them from using seven points. A nine-caliber bullet hit the opponent's forehead.

The entire command system has been completely disintegrated. The remaining soldiers of the Guards continue to fight the Germans with the infantry squad or even two or three combat teams as units. The loss of command is a very fatal blow for an army, and it can even disintegrate an elite battle in an instant.

Some people think that it is no big deal to lose the command of an officer on the battlefield. Soldiers can continue to fight with a gun in their hands. People who make such remarks. Obviously because of the lack of basic understanding of the military organization.

The combat power of the army comes from a complete organizational system, just like a sophisticated war machine, each combat unit is a part of the machine, and the officer command system is the screw nut and bolt hinge that combines this machine. The system collapsed. This machine will fall apart and will no longer be able to function normally.

Let’s see what kind of situation will be faced by the soldiers who have completely lost their command. They can’t know the intent of the superior commander or the real-time changes in the battle situation. Once the commander is lost, there will be a lot of problems. In front of them. Where are the friendly forces, what are the enemy forces doing, and whether the troops on the side have already retreated, how long will they stay in this place. Will there be reinforcements, should we also retreat. Where to withdraw and where to assemble.

Who will take over the command, I know that person, can't do it well. You said you want to attack, where to attack, and where to end. Are there any friendly cooperation on the flanks, and are there artillery cover. Where to go for ammunition replenishment, where to get supplies, where to eat at noon today, and where is today's supper.

When most of the questions are not answered. One can imagine how dazed and overwhelmed the soldiers would be, the unknown caused fear, fear led to rumors, and morale fell rapidly, and the army's heart collapsed instantly. Lost the suppression of officers. No one can prevent the deserters from appearing. Maybe one or two at the beginning, and then one shift or two shifts. No one would be willing to back up for the others, and eventually it turned into a slack.

Some elite troops may select some senior soldiers and non-commissioned officers to command, but they are limited to their rank and military level. At most, they can only organize their own shifts. As for other units, sorry, who knows you, who do you think you are?

A small force has now become scattered sand composed of a bunch of smaller groups. In this case, this group has actually lost its basic offensive ability. The only thing that can be done is to instinctively survive. And resist. The current situation of the British army is like this. The low-level noncommissioned officers and officers fled like headless flies, with German troops everywhere. No one told them where the last line of defense was and where they should go.

Losing the unified dispatch command, the army’s logistics supply system collapsed. The logistics soldiers were holding a pile of ammunition, but they didn’t know where to send them. , I don’t know where to get supplemental ammunition. Some daring veterans tried to find supplies from the dead bodies, but as soon as they rushed out of the shelter area, they were immediately overwhelmed by the German machine gunners who were guarding the bodies.

If the British army still maintains a complete command system, they will notice from the enemy movements reported by the front-line troops that the Germans are obviously blocking the streets and systematically clearing the British army.

The 1st Infantry Division has occupied the Parliament Building, and the remaining soldiers of the Lengxi Regiment guarding the building are all annihilated. In addition, the 7th Armored Division broke through the Hungerford Railway Bridge and eliminated the three infantry companies guarding the bridge The coldest infantry regiment, the oldest infantry regiment in British history, has completely disappeared. This is the second time this unit has been wiped out in this war. In addition, they also participated in the mutiny initiated by Prince Henry, so neither Germany nor Britain can allow it to be rebuilt.

"Your Highness, our time is running out, please leave with me immediately." Sir Simon is still trying to persuade Prince Henry to run away.

The jazz had taken off that gorgeous dress at this moment, and put on a very ordinary plaid suit, wearing a snow-white collar shirt, wearing a gray tie, holding a rattan cane, and glancing It looks like a newspaper editor or university professor.

"Your Highness, now our plan has completely failed, the Germans are approaching here, we really don't have much time, if we can go now." Sir Simon has almost exhausted his patience, but this stubborn royal family still does not Moved.

"Go on your own, Simon, I'm finished." Prince Henry sat in the war department's conference room, his hands pressed against the green velvet table, looking around the empty room.

Who would have thought that two hours ago, the place was full of noble and noble officials of the British Empire, and the nobles and ministers stood up and bowed happily at that time, shouting to him long live my king. But as the war situation deteriorated, the atmosphere here became strange, and it was impossible to remember who was the leader. It seemed that Mr. Brown, the Minister of Scottish Affairs, had left the meeting room on the grounds of physical discomfort and medication. Then Cranborn followed by Attlee, so it was like a dam burst, and soon lost control. Some people didn’t even bother to say why, just put on their hats and ran out of the door, just one In less than an hour, it becomes what it is now.

What a royalist, what **** blessing me, Prince Henry closed his eyes, this is like a ridiculous farce, and more sadly is that he is the most important harlequin, this is a great irony, his previous ambitions And ambition now looks so ridiculous.

"His Royal Highness, I once again ask you to come with me immediately. While the Germans have not yet discovered the truth, we still have the opportunity to disguise and leave. I have contacted the US embassy and they agreed to let us take refuge temporarily." Simon put a leather bag in Conference table.

"There is a set of civilian clothes inside. I'm sorry that I couldn't find the right size for a while, maybe it will be a little unfit."

"I can't run away. I'm a member of the royal family. I have something I have to maintain, Simon." Prince Henry stood up.

"In these few hours, more than 8,000 officers and soldiers of the Guard Division fought against the most powerful army in the world because of my ambitions. These people fought for me and died for me, so if If someone must stand up to be responsible for all this, that person can only be me, and it must be me." Henry patted Simon's arm.

"I'm so glad you came here. I didn't expect you to stay with me, Sir Simon. It's all over, as you said. If allowed, I hope you can accept this." Henry Remove his ring from the finger.

"This is a souvenir. It was a gift from my father when I graduated from the military academy. It has an abbreviation of my name on it. Well, there is a small crown here." Henry put the ring in Simon's hand.

"You go quickly and leave here immediately. The German has arrived and I can feel it. You and your family have to take care of you and you can't be arrested with me."

"Your Highness..." Sir Simon's eyes were flushed. He held the ring and bowed respectfully.

"No matter what will happen in the future, in my heart, you will always be my king... King Tianyouwu." Simon stood up and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Henry shook his head and sighed. "Go, Sir Simon."

"Yes, my majesty, the humble job retired." Simon walked backwards to the door, glancing at Henry, then turned and walked out of the meeting room.

After a while, there was a clutter of footsteps in the hallway, and the door of the meeting room was pushed open. A German infantryman carefully probed his head and found that only Prince Henry was in the room. The soldier came in with a 98k rifle in his hand.

Seeking monthly tickets and asking for recommendation tickets, this month’s results are not very satisfactory, but considering the complicated and chaotic situation inside, it can only be like this, but if you can go further, of course it is better.

thanks for your support. (To be continued.)
