Imperial Overlord

The chalk cliffs can easily stop German tanks, and like a city wall, the German landing troops can't do anything.

But after the German army rushed to the chalk cliff from the pass, there were really not many British troops that could stop the combined attack of the German tanks and grenadiers.

It only took half an hour for the German armored units to find that they had broken through the coastal defenses and joined the nearby 3rd Division of German Paratroopers in victory.

The 112th Division quickly turned the direction of the attack, and Commander Herman was ordered to attack Dover and occupy this important supply port.

And the armored division of Adolf Hitler's Guard Banner, who had already landed, under the command of Dietrich, calmly began to attack Canterbury, the British hinterland.

It was past 9 a.m. when Lyman was leaning in a foxhole and cooking his breakfast.

Amid the cheers, he stuck his head out and saw an armored reconnaissance vehicle approaching in the distance, filled with German paratroopers waving flags.

"Hey! Gentlemen! Chase us after breakfast! Let's go to Canterbury to see if the Brits have escaped!" The soldiers of the 3rd Parachute Division in the armored reconnaissance vehicle faced the soldiers of the 1st Parachute Division in the foxhole they shouted.

"The landing force seems to be going well." Looking at the sdkz231 six-wheeled armored vehicle with a little sand on its wheels, Lehmann also had a smile on his face.

As long as the infantry followed, the paratroopers were much better off. Heavy equipment will ensure that paratroopers will no longer suffer when facing enemy armored units. As for other units, German paratroopers have not yet paid attention to it.

I have to eat breakfast soon..." Gunther said vaguely while spooning the vegetable soup and soaked bread into his mouth with a spoon.

Now, it is not the attacking German front-line troops that are most busy, but the various ships carrying supplies back and forth between the straits.

Similar to the time of the Dunkirk retreat, Germany gathered all the ships it could find to complete this landing mission.

A British torpedo boat on the sea launched a heroic attack on the German fleet. The German aircraft in the sky responsible for the safety of the strait was chasing and killing the torpedo boat, but it still rushed towards a German transport ship without hesitation.

Stuka was not in a hurry to drop the bombs. It strafed the cannons on its wings, knocking the British soldiers on the torpedo boats overturned.

This is not the first British torpedo boat to try to hit the German transport fleet today, in fact these crazy torpedo boat forces, some successful and some failed.

At least 20 torpedo boats were sunk in the waters nearby, and the German torpedo boats also paid the price of at least 5.

The fierce battle between the two sides is still going on at sea, and it has not changed at all with the changes in the battle situation. These British navies seemed to be suicidal, moths rushing towards the flames one by one.

The battle on the ocean, although small in scale, was fierce, but on the beach, several small floating piers were being established rapidly.

Three floating piers have been stranded on German landing ships sitting in the shoal. Then the simple tank landing ship rushed up and started to unload the tanks loaded on it impatiently.

Floating at sea, with hundreds of infantrymen, and three valuable new Panther tanks, these tank landing ships can be much more expensive than other ships.

Fear of inexplicable losses, the order in which they are uninstalled is also prioritized. While the soldiers were still ferrying back and forth with their assault boats, the boats had already docked on the floating dock.

In the curious eyes of the soldiers, a tank landing ship stopped on the dock with the help of engineers. Then, the huge crane went to work.

With the rotation of the pulley block, the steel cable slowly hoisted the tank above to the side of the hull. Then, with a sound, the tank stopped in mid-air.

Watching his tank hovering in mid-air, Wittmann, who had just landed, raised his neck worriedly, and beside him were the driver Duke, the loader Homan, the gunner Carl Wegener, and the electromechanical Ejo Husband also looked shocked.

That is their combat weapon. If it falls down at this time, the entire tank will be scrapped, and they can only carry rifles and fight like infantry.

In everyone's terrified eyes, the three tanks slowly descended to the pier together. The moment they touched the ground, the engineers rushed up like wolves.

Carrying huge scissors, these engineers quickly cut the hemp rope that bound the crawler. At this time, Wittmann and others had already climbed into their tank and were ready to set off.

The tank landing ship next to it has already started to leave the dock at this time, and a landing ship of the same type in the distance is approaching little by little.

Compared with the unprecedented landing in 1944, under the development of Li Le, this landing operation belonging to Germany, although not unprecedented in scale, has surpassed too much in terms of technical content.

It is mainly about some details and advanced ideas. There are not many developments and leaps in science and technology, but the sudden flash of inspiration that is not easy to think of has made the landing operations a lot smoother.

When the tank's crawler washed up on the beach, rolled up loose sand, and carried some sea water to roll forward, Wittmann finally felt that his fate had once again returned to his palm.

He was leaning against the hatch cover of the icy Panther tank, looking forward through the gap in the machine gun shield. On the chalk cliff facing him, a huge **** red flag was being unfolded by the soldiers.

As if spreading a huge wall on a high-rise building, German soldiers spread a huge flag representing conquest on the iconic chalk cliffs of the British coastline.

"Hey! Hitler!" The SS soldiers of the Panzer Division of the Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team who were landing saw the huge flag, raised their arms one after another, and saw the inspiring slogan.

Wittmann's Panther tank with the number 007 painted on it took the lead, and with the other two Panther tanks that had just landed on the dock, charged aggressively towards the cliff pass where the smoke was still smoking.

On the tank, the commanders with hatches exposed raised their arms to the huge national flag.

Here they come! Came here! They will use the weapons in their hands to conquer the former world hegemon and break the shackles that the world has placed on their own country.

"The 9th Mechanized Infantry Division is advancing to the southwest, and the 112th Division's attack direction is Dover... We're going to Canterbury!" Wittmann, who stopped the tank near the pass, heard his battalion commander explain to him combat mission.

Although it was under the command of the Independence Regiment in terms of organization, in terms of operations, this reinforced unit was dispatched by Dietrich.

In fact, this armored regiment is another armored regiment reinforced to Adolf Hitler's Guards Panzer Division, all equipped with elite Panther tanks.

The British had never seen this new type of tank, so Dietrich could well imagine the British panicking when they showed up in Canterbury.

"The road from here to Canterbury has been opened by paratroopers! My 1st Armoured Regiment is attacking there. Your battalion is now moving there. Maybe we can reach Maidstone by night!" Independence The head of the armored regiment pointed into the distance and instructed Wittmann and the others.

As usual, it was impossible for the German armored forces to gather all the tanks before starting their own operations. In fact, Wittmann only had 5 Leopard tanks in his hand, and he set off together with two armored vehicles from his battalion headquarters and rushed towards Canterbury.

If the Germans captured Canterbury, advancing along the coastline by road and rail might capture Chatham before nightfall.

By that time, Maidstone will be in danger of being encircled. Once the Germans rushed to Maidstone, the British naval blockade at night became a joke.

...

Finally realized that the Germans attacked the British high-level faster than expected, and found that it was impossible to realize the hope of a naval blockade.

Although the night is very long, if the fleet wants to enter the strait, it has to wait until it is dark before starting action. Now there are German patrol aircraft on both sides of the strait, and the fleet's rash entry will only increase unnecessary losses.

In fact, because of the frequent dispatch of carrier-based aircraft, the German Navy now has a large number of professional sea attack pilots. These pilots made Britain very afraid, and their attacks were much sharper than those in Dunkirk.

Charles heard Churchill ask him about the naval blockade at night~www.wuxiaspot.com~ looked at the map and answered a frustrating answer: "There is no way the Navy can cover Canterbury, Dover and Folkestone with attacks... "

These three places, together with the surrounding field area, the German paratroopers and the German landing forces, now controlled a considerable area of ​​activity, an area that the British Navy could not suppress.

If the Germans were compressed on the sand when it was dark, the navy could say with certainty that the Germans were dead. But now the enemy is scattered to various areas, how can this be shelled?

If you randomly choose a place and shoot two shells at random, for a unit, the loss is almost negligible. There is a fundamental difference between targeted shelling and barely covering.

Of course, Charles also gave a follow-up that reassured everyone: "But I can destroy Dover and stop the Germans from taking advantage of it."

It is a pity that Dover is still under the control of the British defenders, and the plan of shelling there can only be implemented when the British defenders are lost there.

Today, Long Ling is really sleepy, and the repair work has been delayed for a day. Please forgive me...
