Imperial Overlord

Dietrich, as the commander of the 1st SS Panzer Division, the Panzer Division of Adolf Hitler's Guard Banner, was sweating on his forehead at this moment.

Just now, his troops encountered a blockade near a small town in the hinterland of the British army. The opponent seemed to prefer death rather than take a step back.

Thinking about it too, if he is allowed to take this town, then he can quickly pass the road and establish contact with the paratroopers in the encirclement.

The paratroopers who control the bridge and the surrounding area will immediately multiply his position forward. The second batch of armoured troops had begun to come ashore, and his situation seemed to be not bad.

In the deduction a few days ago, he only went to where he is now, and he was judged to be incapable of attacking, but he has only killed less than 4,000 people.

In order to land on the British mainland, the armored division of the SS Adolf Hitler's Guard Banner, which was originally among the elite, has now been expanded to almost 25,000 people.

With the addition of the 112th Division added to him and a follow-up division, he had at least 50,000 attacking troops in his hands before nightfall.

But he was still very nervous, because time was passing minute by second, and it was not how many enemies he annihilated, but the time in his hands that determined the outcome of this battle.

"Let the second batch of Stalker tank destroyers come ashore! Defend here and here!" He pointed on the map with a pointer, and the recorder next to him began to record.

Soon a special person reported the order to the referee room, and soon Brauchitch and Keitel could see what Dietrich was going to do.

"He's really a strong general... I didn't see such a decisive commander in the SS." Glancing at Keitel beside him, Brauchitch gave a very pertinent evaluation.

Although Dietrich may not be as good as a famous Wehrmacht general like Guderian in these tactics of large-scale tank impact cutting, he also has his own set of tactics.

Fierce and steady, that's Dietrich's style. Just now, he deployed the Stalker tank destroyers assigned to the 112th Division that had just landed on the flanks of his main attack direction.

"I don't know if the Führer will encircle the two wings. If the Führer invests in armored troops and continues to fight back, he will suffer again..." Looking at the map, Liszt gave a very pertinent evaluation.

In fact, in the eyes of several marshals in the referee room, the commanding ability of the head of state is really not very clever. Even in the processing of some details, there is still some immaturity and greenness.

The main reason why the head of state swept the German landing troops before was actually relying on his own troops! He has at least 300,000 reserves in his hands, and there are no less than that number of soldiers on the coast.

Deployed on every kilometer, the "British Army" commanded by the head of state has thousands of soldiers standing by. Of course, Dietrich and Hermann, who are not familiar with landing operations, can be beaten to the ground.

But now, when the German army overcame its own difficulties, began to figure out the steps of the landing operation in repeated deductions, and made improvements at the level of command, the disadvantage of the head of the command was reflected.

"The countermeasures given by the garrison headquarters... The head of state ordered to launch a pincer-type offensive on both sides of the salient part of the landing site, and put in a large number of tanks." The officer who sent the order glanced at the marshals standing by the map. He continued: "This time, the Fuhrer dispatched the air force."

"Ha!" Goering felt that he really came here today. He hadn't felt such a fun thing for a long time. He just heard that his safari troop had taken off, and the head of state here couldn't hold his breath.

In order to ensure air supremacy in the landing site, the Germans deployed the most advanced FW-190 fighter jets, and a large number of veteran pilots rushed to the Western Front.

Many pilots had already accumulated enough experience and were transferred to the Eastern Front to prepare for the Eastern Front. Now they have been dropped back into the so-called safari force.

Each of these fighter pilots responsible for killing the British Air Force can be said to be battle-hardened, and most of them are ace pilots!

Their current training is to hunt each other in the sky to compete for the best pilots for the day's battle.

The Air Force gave its own authoritative judgment very confidently: if there was a British Air Force counterattack over the German landing field that day, regardless of losses, then they could kill all British aircraft in one day.

What Goering and Kesselring didn't know was that they were actually too pessimistic. The British army couldn't even get the pilots of 400 fighter jets, and at most there were less than 300 fighter jets that could take off immediately.

In addition to 400 Stukas and more than 100 JU-88s to deal with large ships that the British Navy may approach, there are also 200 aircraft of various types designed to interfere with British torpedo boats and destroyers.

The Luftwaffe was probably the busiest unit of the day, attacking at dawn in the morning and continuing to fight until the night was out of sight.

Although it was impossible to take off fighter jets and Stukas at night, the Luftwaffe still prepared hundreds of HE-111s and JU-88s for night bombing.

They wanted to destroy fixed targets that had not been destroyed during the day or had just been discovered in the evening, to blow up some towns on the way of the Army's attack, and to frighten the British battleships in the strait.

At the same time, on the day of the landing, the German army will use 40 submarines to set up ambush on both sides of the strait to intercept possible British warships.

In addition, in the past few days, Germany will use all submarines and mine-laying boats to mine fixed areas on the flanks of the strait to interfere with reinforcements of British combat ships.

It is precisely because of these plans that the battle plan to land on the British mainland in the early morning has a slight possibility of success. It is precisely because of these detailed plans that the landing operation becomes feasible.

Goering felt very interesting when he heard the head of state cast himself into the net, and continued to listen to the referees' arbitration this time with a smile.

The field marshals on the other side finally regained a little bit of confidence at this time. The previous series of fiasco had made them doubt their life.

Even some generals are complaining, saying that landing in the UK was not a good idea, and it is a matter of course that the deduction has failed now.

But now, when the Germans are all set to land and succeed quickly, everything seems to have a chance to try again.

"Right to the point!" Liszt, who had been concerned about whether his troops were performing well, clenched his fists after hearing the Fuhrer's countermeasures for the two-flank attack.

Beside him, Keitel also smiled helplessly. It's really not to blame the Führer. If it were him, he would also be looking for opportunities on the flanks when the Germans were eager to attack.

The only difference is that if he is the commander, he will not invest such a large force, but will try to deter the enemy's attack.

"The judgment is nothing to say, Dietrich's tactical arrangement is very successful... The Fuhrer's main reserve team is not too much." Brauchitch followed the "schadenfreude" and gave an impartial judgment: "The Fuhrer The counterattack of the troops was blocked, and Dietrich can continue to make his own countermeasures."

"The defender's counterattack has been blocked, and the attack has been judged to be stopped. Now it's your turn to make a decision." With his chin raised, as if he were the victor, the officer who sent the order reported the good news to Dietrich.

Too many failures before have made him almost lose hope of winning. Now there is this hope, so the whole person seems refreshed.

Hearing the good news, Dietrich was refreshed, and now he is more active than before. If the defenders were not attacking on his flanks, he would be wasting the strength of the attack, which was obviously a waste of time.

But now, his prudence has saved the German army, at least now his troops still hold the initiative.

"Continue to attack near this town leading to the paratroopers' position and get through the connection with the paratroopers, so that we can go further!" Dietrich looked at the map and said a new order.

In the latest landing plan, Army troops must stay away from the beach as soon as possible after disembarking. The farther from the beach, the less affected the British Navy was during the night.

Everyone knows that this is the most effective solution that the German army came up with when there is no way out. But after the first day and night passed, how to solve the remaining problems made people very worried.

Unable to control the sea area near the landing site, it is impossible to transport supplies and troops to continue to reinforce the front line with peace of mind. The tens of thousands of troops that landed looked like a lot, but sooner or later they would be overwhelmed by the British troops coming in like a tide.

The enemy has at least 600,000 people, but the German army has only 50,000 to 70,000 people.

Dietrich commanded his troops to continue to attack the town, and the frustrated Führer also dispatched troops to start a dead-guard mode. The two sides fought near the town, and the distance between the paratroopers and the landing troops was getting shorter and shorter.

"If... I mean if... if one or two armored battalions are drawn from the eastern front and find a way to send them ashore in the second batch, will the attack go more smoothly?" Fight, Liszt asked Keitel.

Keitel glanced at Liszt, then thought about it before answering seriously: "Your suggestion should be feasible, it can at least increase the assault force of some troops."

Relying on tanks such as No. 3 and Stalker to attack is obviously not as pleasant as directly using the new Panther tank. With heavy armor and a powerful 88mm cannon, the new tank can speed up the attack of the troops.

Although there may not be any results, this is always a direction to try. After all, there is less and less room for improvement now——
