The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2066: Overthrow

However, just when the British thought they were about to flee their lives, what they ushered in was the firepower of the Germans like a storm! At the corner that passed through the L-shaped section, waiting for them was a dense rain of bullets composed of 3 40MM rapid-fire guns, 4 mortars, and as many as a dozen machine guns! Originally, if these weapons were distributed in the long and narrow ambush areas on both sides, their lethality was very limited, but when they were concentrated in a small area and faced head-on, the fierce firepower instantly beat the entire British fleet into a few. segment!

Fire dragons wandered through the British convoys, violent explosions one after another, flames rose into the sky and turned the night into day. Under the firelight, you can see a group of British soldiers jumping out of the car in horror and trying to rely on the roadbed. Seeking cover, however, waiting for them are bullets densely packed like locusts and anti-infantry mines laid on both sides of the roadbed. Although the British tried to resist, the battle has basically ended. On the front road, the wreckage of British vehicles and the fierce firepower of the Germans made this road a gateway to the underworld. If you want to retreat, then Blocked by your own vehicle. More than 90% of the British did not know what to do, but a small group of people bravely broke into the night from the side and slipped through the gaps in the German encirclement.

"The Germans' ambushes were very good. Their numbers were not large, and their heavy firepower was limited. If they were to open their positions according to the normal layout, they would not be able to beat us at all. However, the opponents made good use of our eagerness. The psychology of escape, truncating the tail, makes us unable to retreat, but does not immediately truncate the head on time, because this will make us fight for life and break through to the sides, and the Germans are very weak, they can neither stop us from breaking through, nor can they They defeated us, so they used the terrain to design an ambush circle in front. When our leading vehicle passed, when we thought it was safe, they caught us off guard, whether it was the overall layout, firepower distribution, or minefield. These details are all very well done, but the reason why I was able to run out was largely luck. I felt that the barrage on the side was too thin, and then I took people out." After the war, Montgomery did this. Recall the scene at that time.

Of course, this battle is just an episode on the entire battlefield. What is really important is that after the Germans made a large-scale breakthrough from the front and formed an encirclement of the Hamilton Army, the Schmidt battle group that had already entered the rear of the French army also Suddenly, the starry night went north and successfully closed the last gap. In one night, the two German armies cooperated to complete the encirclement of the Hamilton Army. If the first German tank crosses the trench, the time is also But 18 hours!

"The British are dead, maybe they will surrender tomorrow. The Germans said that they can solve the Hamilton Army in 3 days. It seems that it is not a boast." Petain looked at the intelligence sent and said, of course, as the so-called The solution does not mean that all the 240,000 British troops of the entire group army will be killed or captured. In fact, in such a hasty situation, if the British troops are dispersed and break through, it will definitely be able to run out part of it, and perhaps the number can exceed 2 divisions. But they have been dispersed, and almost all of their heavy equipment has been lost. In this case, this group army has no combat effectiveness, so it can naturally be counted as annihilated.

  Of course, there are many conditions for the Germans to move so smoothly this time, such as the full cooperation of the military, the strategic misjudgment of the British, and the fact that the German army is fighting fast in a completely field environment. This kind of tactics made the British very uncomfortable. To tell the truth, even in Turkey, the combat effectiveness of the French fast force is a bit higher than that of the British. At least Xiafei was able to compare with the Bavarian Army at first, and the British armor The troops are still a bit worse than the French, as is the tactics. Of course, the British infantry is stronger.

   "Then what do you think the Germans will do next?" Marshal Foch asked.

"They will leave a certain amount of troops to kill the Hamilton Army, and the main force will go north, and the other four German armies will cross the passage we left behind, and then round the back of the British position, and then launch a centripetal assault, just like the Bavarian Army in the past. It's like killing millions of Russian troops in Poland's pocket. Then, the ground part of this war is over." Petain sighed.

   "Yes, it's over. We exhausted the wealth, population, and army accumulated by France for decades without getting any rewards. The war went on completely meaningless." Marshal Foch said.

   "At least we understand one thing." Bei said blankly.

   "What's the matter?" Marshal Foch asked curiously.

"If one day the entire European continent is covered by war again, at least we will not be the enemy of Germany. The German army is too strong. And France and Germany are next to each other..." Petain finished. Before Foch spoke again, he left the house.

   "The so-called despair probably means this." Foch said with a sigh.

At the same time, Ruprecht and his generals are also busy in the German West Front Command~lightnovelpub.net~ but they are now busy and have little to do with the Hamilton Army. Because this is destined to be a dead fish... It is enough to give Crook the command of a group army. Now, with the exception of a small number of troops still used to guard the French, the remaining two and a half groups will be prepared to go north. They will cooperate with the long-dormant Army Group A, and then follow the gap opened by the French to encircle and wipe out the entire British Expeditionary Force! This is bound to be a great battle that will be remembered by history and the world, because it will be the biggest loss in the history of the British Army! The casualties caused to the British army by this battle alone may exceed 7 figures!

   "Your Highness, the Army Group A is ready. We can attack at any time. We don't even have to wait for the northward movement of the Air Force cluster. Our Army can complete the mission on its own strength." Xiao Maoqi said.

"I believe that the main forces of Group A and Group B can accomplish this task, and I also believe that relying on the German Army to besie the British Army when the British are caught off guard can win. But there is one thing that the Army cannot do, that is, if the British If the army chooses to withdraw from the sea, what will the army do? Does it want to use a large number of heavy artillery to advance to the sea to attack British transport ships in the English Channel? The meaning of the air force is to block the English Channel, which cannot be achieved by relying solely on the army. "Ruprecht said.
