I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1010: The last line of defense

"Or, get on the boat to bypass these land defenses and directly take down London city."

One subordinate suggested.

This is a very risky suggestion. If you don't take down some strategic points along the river and go deep alone, there are still some dangers for them.

Maybe they will find some way to stop the Somme, so they will be surrounded in London. If the enemy is willing to pay the price, they will be wiped out.

"I think it can. As long as the navy stays alert, it will not be easy for the enemy to block the Somme. As long as the Somme can be kept open, we can retreat at any time."

Another subordinate agreed.

With the current technological strength of Great Britain, if you want to block the Somme, you can only find a lot of big ships and sink them to form a reef.

This is very difficult for Great Britain. The reef formed by wooden ships may not be able to stop the passage of Chinese warships. As for the armored ships, Great Britain doesn't have much in total. Can they afford it?

Even if it is willing, it is not so easy to operate successfully.

Therefore, their worries are actually somewhat redundant.

"I'll discuss it with Commander Liu."

Guo Sen was unable to make such an important decision and could only report the current situation and suggestions to the fleet captain Liu Wanghai.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Wanghai approved the plan.

Dahua's strategy is to force the enemy to submit, and to conquer London.

It is absolutely impossible to retreat at this time, as that will only increase the morale and confidence of the British.

Even if they pay a heavy price, they also need to capture London, which symbolizes Great Britain. This has important political significance and can deal a heavy blow to Britain's will to resist.

If you can't securely take London, then you can only take a dangerous move.

Moreover, in Liu Wanghai's view, this risk trick is actually not that dangerous.

He has confidence in his fleet, as long as he is more vigilant, the enemy cannot block his retreat route under his nose.

Afterwards, ground troops boarded the ship, and the fleet rushed straight to the London city.

Faced with this move by the Chinese army, the British army was helpless and could only follow towards London.

Their speed is naturally unable to keep up with the speed of the Chinese fleet.

Soon, the Chinese fleet arrived in London.

Through the reconnaissance of the aircraft, they also quickly determined the location of the British defense line, the soldier assembly point, and the material warehouse.

People nowadays may not know what air supremacy is, but the Chinese army is already enjoying the benefits of this kind of air supremacy.

"fire."

With the adjustment of various parameters completed, the Chinese naval gun fired again.

The artillery shells exploded in the British army's position, and the materials were stored in the warehouse.

These places are the pain points of the British army.

"Madefa Ke."

The British army was inexhaustible, and only hated that the rifle in his hand could not counterattack Dahua's warships.

"Shameless, bastard, this is not a gentleman's fight."

The supreme commander of the British army, Tynode, was a nobleman and a gentleman.

In the war when he was young, everyone stood in a row and decided the victory or defeat in a relatively fair way.

He also admired that kind of warfare.

And now, the Chinese warships are out of their range, and they are unilaterally hoisted.

Such bullying is very ungentleman in the eyes of Tynode, and must be reprimanded and cursed.

Fortunately, Hua Jun didn't know his thoughts, otherwise he would be laughed alive.

On the battlefield, Dahua emphasizes that soldiers are not tired of deceit, based on their own strengths and the shortcomings of attacking the enemy. If you don't take advantage of the advantages, it's not that your brain is sick.

No matter how Tynode roared, the Chinese shelling continued.

By the time the shelling was over, the line of defense that Tynode arranged fortunately had already fallen apart.

Some bunkers were blown up, and some defense lines were breached.

What's more terrible is that a large amount of ammunition was bombed, which made their continuous combat capability drop sharply.

At the same time, nearly a thousand soldiers were injured and killed in the shelling of the Chinese Army.

Their line of defense has only 4,000 people in total.

Great Britain has always been dominated by the navy, so the number of the army is small, only 140,000.

Among them, 60,000 people were dispatched to Africa to join the Allied Forces. There are still more than 10,000 in North America, more than 20,000 in Ireland, more than 10,000 in Scotland, and more than 10,000 in Wales.

There are fewer than 20,000 soldiers stationed in London.

The senior officials in Great Britain did not expect that the target of Dahua's first attack was not Madrid, but their London, so there was no time to dispatch troops.

There are less than 20,000 troops, of which 12 are deployed on the three outer lines of defense, and there are only more than 6,000 in the city of London.

This line of defense of Tynode is actually the last line of defense in London.

Breaking this line of defense means that London will fall.

"Go and inform the noble gentlemen in the city, tell them that London may not be able to hold, and let them evacuate as soon as possible. Remember, don't let ordinary people know."

Tynode can only prepare for the worst. Once London falls, according to Dahua's actions in Gibraltar, the wealthy people in London will suffer.

Therefore, these people must be evacuated from London as soon as possible.

In order to avoid causing panic, Tynode also urged to keep it secret and not let the civilians know.

Once the civilians knew that London could not be held, they also had a great chance of fleeing London. When the time comes, everyone will flee collectively, and it will be extremely chaotic. It will be a question whether the nobles can escape.

"Yes."

Tynode’s adjutant went to execute the order, but when he arranged for the soldiers to send the letter, several soldiers did not obey the order and did not keep it confidential.

Because they are from the bottom, they have a layer of sympathy for the low-level civilians, and even their family members are in London.

Therefore, they secretly leaked the news.

Ever since, the city of London was completely panicked and chaotic.

Although they were also afraid of being bombed before, it was the moment they were bombed. After the Huajun flew away, they did not worry too much.

And now, the Chinese army is about to enter the City of London.

As long as the Chinese Army enters the City of London, their lives will be completely in the hands of the Chinese Army, and they need to look at the life of the Chinese Army. Doing something wrong will lead to death.

Especially the nobles and the wealthy, they are even more panic, because the Chinese army likes to attack the rich and kill the rich.

If civilians stay in London, as long as they don't anger the Chinese soldiers, they may be safe.

And these rich people, it's useless to hide, the Chinese army will come to the door.

After receiving the notice from Tynode, the officials, royal family, nobles, and wealthy people in the city hurriedly started packing their luggage, preparing to flee to the north and to a place far from the sea.
