Imperial Overlord

Similar to the British, before throwing away the city, they thought about the way of shelling there, which seemed to be ridiculed by the whole world. . fastest update

But now they can't care so much anymore. As long as the German army occupies the place, the navy must shell the place to prevent the further expansion of the German army as much as possible.

"Will the Germans use the Air Force to drop supplies for their troops?" an officer asked the officer beside him anxiously.

His commander glanced at his subordinate, and shook his head gently to signal the other party not to look for trouble at this time.

Didn't you see that General Daoding's fighter unit was already struggling to support it, and was it about to collapse across the board? Talking about the Air Force at this time is like rubbing salt on Daoding's wound.

The more than 400 fighter jets that the Air Force finally collected are still able to continue to fight, even half of them are gone.

Most of the British fighter pilots died and had to be replaced by bomber pilots. But even so, the loss is still too great to make ends meet.

The performance of the p-40 fighter is not more advanced than the Spitfire, and now the Germans seem to have found the weakness of the p-40 fighter, and can easily shoot down these American aircraft.

Spitfires and hurricanes were no longer a threat to the Germans. Not only is the performance slightly worse but also leaked, the number is not at the same level at all.

From dawn to now, the British fighter force has been dispatched twice. The first time was the whole army, but it was intercepted by German fighter jets and killed at least 70.

The second time was even worse. Daoding still dispatched all the fighter jets. As a result, almost 100 planes were shot down, and some planes broke down and could not continue to fly.

Most of the remaining 200 fighter jets are American volunteer pilots. These people often withdraw from the battle when the enemy has an advantage, so the survival rate is higher.

And the British Air Force, who fought the final defense over the mainland, was very heroic, and basically there was no return. Now most of the fighting area has been occupied by the German ** team, so the German pilots seem to have no disadvantage of fighting in the enemy-occupied area.

The German pilots who were shot down can also parachute calmly now, and then quickly return to the team and return to France on the returning ship. It is estimated that they will be able to continue fighting in the afternoon.

The situation of the British pilots at this moment was just the opposite. They had just parachuted to the ground and were greeted by the muzzle of the German soldiers.

In this case, the loss of 170 aircraft is almost equivalent to the loss of more than 100 pilots.

How can there be so many reserve pilots in the UK that can withstand such a huge consumption? So soon, Dawding found that his well-trained pilots were getting fewer and fewer.

"The navy can't go south yet. If we barely enter the battle in this case, the loss will make us lose the last chance!" Charles outlined the range of German fighter patrols on the map and said to Churchill.

Although drawing wages from the bottom of the pot is an immediate tactic, it is also the only feasible tactic in the hands of the United Kingdom.

If this tactic failed, then almost everything Britain could do to stop the Germans from attacking would have failed. Because of this, the navy's counterattack must be cautious.

"During the day, our navy cannot easily enter the war zone! This was originally planned!" Churchill waved his hand and said to Sir Dill, who was most eager for a naval counterattack.

The latter hurried back to London from Medes, the purpose was to ask the navy to counterattack in advance and annihilate the German transport fleet that was now unloading soldiers at any cost.

"The Germans are attacking Canterbury and Dover and Folkestone. If these places are lost, our coastal defenses will almost be completely ineffective." Dill said to Churchill worriedly.

He pointed to the entire area occupied by the Germans and added: "Although it is still within the firing range of the naval guns, the area has been expanded so that the other side can disperse our firepower."

Don't look at the Germans using 9 cannons to bombard the White Cliff Pass area into a mess. But that's because, first of all, these places are fixed permanent fortifications that cannot be moved and the targets are relatively concentrated.

For artillery, grouped targets are the best targets, because even with some deviation, the shells can hit other targets.

This is also the reason why the German train artillery is very accurate. After careful measurement in advance, the target is very suitable when attacking, so it has achieved good results.

On the other hand, the German army was scattered in the vast field area between the three towns. Not only was it not a fixed target, but there was no preparatory work for drawing.

The attack was still at night, and after the German soldiers were attacked, they could still move calmly, which made the British shelling more difficult.

The difficulty increases, which means that the accuracy plummets. There was actually not much time left for the British to shell, not a long night.

In one night, it took time for the British fleet to go south to find its own attack position. Almost a few hours after dark, the German landing force was still very safe.

Then, after sailing to the attack position, the British fleet began shelling, and it is estimated that the first areas to be attacked should be the port areas such as Dover, and the floating dock beach that may be found.

When these areas were wiped out, the British would have the leisure to find trouble with the scattered German forces already far inland.

And it won't take long for the British fleet to think about retreating. After a few hours, it is estimated that it will be dawn, and the German plane will arrive as scheduled, and it will not be able to leave if it does not leave.

So, after thinking about it, in fact, the bombardment of the British is actually not fatal to the current German army. The only regret is that the existence of the fleet really made Germany have to waste all night and precious precious Shipping replenishment time.

"Some soldiers saw that the Germans were building a dock. They were very fast. It seems that in North Africa, they began to study this technology." Charles has marked the location of the German floating dock and pointed to the red mark. , said loudly.

"Since the Germans can build the pier, then we will destroy him!" Of course, the Air Force also has bombers, but in this case, 80% of them have to wait until the night before they can act.

However, the good news is not without, that is, the Air Force does not have to hurry, they can attack after dark, the difference is that their attack may not be as accurate as the Navy.

"I think that until then, before we counterattack, the Army must hold on to every position so that the Germans can no longer expand the landing field!" Churchill looked at Sir Dill and ordered.

Of course, if possible, Sir Dill also hoped that the Army could stop the German advance. In fact, if the Army had that capability, they would have done it on the beach.

The current situation is that the defenders of Dover are in a hard fight, but they can barely support them relying on the small port town.

But in the wild, the local 1st Army, the situation is not so good. On the night of the 13th, the 1st Armored Division had already consumed some of its troops because of the battle with the German paratroopers.

At this moment, he ran into the Adolf Hitler Guards Panzer Division under Dietrich's command. It really doesn't need to say how he lived.

At the same moment when the British high-level officials were already planning their counterattack that night, an m3lee tank of the British 1st Armored Division in the fighting area of ​​the Canterbury front was pierced by a shell and turned into a flame.

In the ridge in the distance, a German No. 3 tank was mounted with an additional skirt, and it broke through a section of the low wall, moving forward with great momentum.

On the muzzle of their slender 50mm caliber long-barreled tank guns, there was a faint white smoke. That powerful shot just now was fired by it.

The poor British tank was hit and smashed in place. The remaining tanks of the British 1st Armoured Division were retreating as enemy tanks were advancing on their opposite sides.

"This battle is impossible! They can easily penetrate our armor at a distance of 1,000 meters! Hell!" In a tank with sandbags hanging in front of the tank as additional armor, the British commander was holding the radio and talking to his superior. complain.

At the same time he complained, another British A9 tank was penetrated and paralyzed in place. The British armored forces were even worse than when they faced paratroopers at night, and they could only retreat under the attack of the opponent.

"Hold on! If it doesn't work now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ we will retreat back to Canterbury!" In the armored division's headquarters, the division commander and the staff had no good solution.

Although the above order is to let them not take a step back, but now they can only use the back to try their best to delay the time.

"Attack with the 75mm caliber artillery on the tank! Maybe it will work!" I don't know who came up with the idea, making everyone laugh and cry.

The m3lee is indeed equipped with a 75mm caliber artillery, but this thing is used to support the angle adjustment of the infantry and cannot attack the tank at all.

"Let the troops in front retreat. Relying on Canterbury, I think there should be no problem holding on until the afternoon." The staff officer looked at the clock on the wall and suggested to the division commander.

The teacher looked at his watch and found that it was already 9 o'clock in the morning. Relying on Canterbury for three hours seemed to be more secure than spending time in the wilderness.

"Okay! Let the troops retreat! Cooperate with the infantry to form a defensive line and rely on Canterbury to continue fighting." With almost no thought, he put the order not to take a step back to the back of his mind.
