Imperial Overlord

"Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? This joke isn't funny at all! Really! It's not funny at all!" Ser Dill found himself in the middle of the day when he was about to be reported to his staff. Torture is crazy.

The 9th Panzer Division attack had just begun, and in less than 20 minutes, more than 30 tanks of various types had been lost.

There will naturally be losses in wars, and huge losses are also a frequent occurrence. However, after losing so many tanks, the 9th Armored Division did not even see what its own enemy looked like.

"What does it mean to not know the enemy's tank model? What does it mean to not know the enemy's number of tanks? Did you attack?" Sir Dill roared at his men while holding the phone.

He now even suspects that because of cowardice, the offensive battle he commanded was not executed by his subordinates at all. Otherwise, with so many tanks lost, can you see what the enemy looks like no matter what?

Churchill frowned at the side. He only learned today how strong the German army was and how weak the British army under his command was.

On the one hand, because of insufficient supplies, the training of the British Army has long been cut to the point of being child's play. To expect some soldiers who have just completed a week of training to fight the Germans is a funny thing in itself.

"So, we can't count on the 9th Armored Division's attack on the flank?" Charles asked when Sir Dill was tired of scolding his men and stopped to breathe.

He didn't fall into the trap, but really cared that if the army couldn't stop the German troops, the pressure on the navy to counterattack at night would increase accordingly.

However, in Churchill's ears, this question has a different meaning: the Germans will drive straight in, and it is very likely that they will attack Maidstone and other areas.

If Maidstone were to fail, London would almost be exposed to the threat of enemy attack. This is a big event, the capital has become a front-line city, and he doesn't have to continue working as a prime minister.

"Will the German army continue to attack? I'm talking about continuing to attack north and capture Maidstone?" Churchill had no choice but to ask tentatively.

Ser Dill, who had been tormented by the current battle situation, did not know how to answer the question posed by his superior.

If it was a day earlier, he could have given many assumptions. Then answer Churchill's question by deducing various plans for the German landing.

However, now that the German army has really fought over, none of those rehearsals have happened, and the entire battle situation has exceeded his estimates and expectations.

A day ago, after killing Sir Dill, he would not believe that the German army could capture the heavily fortified port of Dover and occupy North Fran Point in one day.

Also a day earlier, he would never have believed that the Germans could hold their positions against the counterattacks of his tank troops with only paratroopers.

What makes people feel even more ridiculous is that the Germans not only used the daytime to transport a large number of tanks ashore, but also seemed to use the afternoon time to replenish a large amount of fuel and ammunition, enough for these troops.

Now, Canterbury, Ashford, Folkestone...so many areas have fallen into German hands, and this landing battle looks like a complete victory for the Germans...

"I don't know, Mr. Prime Minister! I hope to resign now. It seems that I am not qualified for the job of commanding the troops." Sir Dill shook his head and was ready to go back to write his resignation report.

At this moment, he really didn't know whether the German army would attack and occupy Maidstone before dark, and of course he didn't know whether Hayes and other areas would be lost.

And even if you don't count towns such as Hayes and Maidstone, the size of the occupation area in the hands of the Germans is enough to disperse their forces from the naval shelling, which can only affect the floating dock at most.

"Damn! What are you doing at this time? Shirk the responsibility? Let the 9th Armored Division start a new counterattack immediately! I need to let them launch a counterattack as soon as possible!" Churchill scolded angrily when he heard Sir Dill's words.

Sir Dill knew that he was wrong, so he had to bite the bullet and stay behind and continue to direct the series of battles in front of him: "Okay, let the 9th Division shrink its forces and launch a tentative attack to find the enemy's defense weaknesses!"

The Atlantic sea was cut off by the Germans, and in fact the greatest impact was on the east coast of Great Britain. Transporting food and supplies across the UK to the East Coast is a very difficult task in itself.

The turmoil in Birmingham was due to the fact that most of Liverpool's materials were sent to the north, while the remaining materials were systematically concentrated in Bristol.

A large amount of food materials unloaded in the port of Bristol can only be transported to London for consumption. After the interception of London, there is very little that can be sent to areas such as Chatham.

This is why the British defenders, who could fight to the death in Dover and other areas, did not obey orders in Margate and other areas, and retreated privately and were eventually annihilated.

The reason is actually very simple. The unfortunate 3rd Coastal Defense Division lacked ammunition and little food. In the end, they had to try their luck. In fact, their luck was very bad, so they were blocked in the wilderness.

There are also problems in areas such as Portsmouth and Brighton. These places have long been blown into ruins by German bombers, and Churchill will not waste too much food and materials to relieve refugees in these places.

Because of this, the 9th Armored Division, which is backed by these places, is not determined to attack at this time. They were watching and testing, unwilling to risk a desperate battle with the Germans.

When the 2nd German Parachute Division once again detoured from the flank in the direction of Hayes, the British 9th Armoured Division, which was supposed to attack, was preparing a new attack plan.

They did not yet know that the German paratroopers had started again from Ashford and attacked their flanks.

Of course, they didn't know that there was a more deadly crisis that was already brewing for them.

In the French-German occupation zone, an Air Force liaison officer came out of the liaison room and handed a message to the bomber commander who was waiting for news: "Sir! News from the front!"

Pulling over the telegram, the content on it was very simple: the 9th Mechanized Infantry Division was attacked by enemy tanks outside Folkestone.

Originally, because there were too many things to be responsible for, the Luftwaffe was so busy that he didn't know what to do.

They were responsible for covering the sky above the landing force, preventing British fighter jets from breaking in, and scouting out the exact location of the floating dock.

The fighter jets took off in batches, repeatedly competing with British fighter units for air supremacy on the battlefield. At least 200 planes have been shot down or missing so far, and the fighting continues.

At the same time, they want to attack the various ships of the British to ensure the absolute safety of sea transportation. It's not an easy job, and at least 40 ships have been sunk by British gunboat torpedo boats.

Also, the Luftwaffe was responsible for supporting the landing forces against ground targets. Stuka and ju-88 bombers dispatched more than 5,000 sorties, almost depleting the entire French bomb inventory.

Busy to the present, details have been missed in many places. Missions have been canceled, and many ground forces are complaining that Air Force support is not timely enough.

In order to strike targets more precisely, the Air Force has identified the main areas of support for ground operations in Maidstone, Chatham and other directions.

As for battles in other directions, the ground troops could only seek more for themselves and rely on their own strength to face the ferocious counterattack of the British army.

However, after seeing this telegram, the commander of the Luftwaffe immediately realized that it seemed that another attack area could be opened here.

"They are sure that there is a British armored division fighting back nearby?" The lieutenant general of the Luftwaffe held the telegram and asked his subordinates.

The German officer nodded and replied, "Sir, the message is very clear. They caught their tongues and explained many things."

"Very good, then let the ju-87 troops on standby take off and attack the nearby area...the opportunity is given to them. What kind of results can be achieved depends on them." The German commander raised his hand and took the A telegram, went to Kesselring's office.

At the airport, a ju-87 bomber, which had just been filled with fuel and had its bombs mounted, started its engines~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The pilots gestured to the ground crew, and then went one after another. Racked into the sky.

Before the 9th Panzer Division could organize a new attack, the German Stuka dive bombers that crossed the strait arrived on the battlefield.

This time, the British 9th Armoured Division finally felt God's deep malice towards them. As soon as dozens of tanks gathered, they ushered in the baptism of German bombers in a storm.

One after another, aerial bombs fell from the sky, blowing their tanks into parts, and Stuka, who had no bombs, dived and opened fire with machine guns, destroying many cars and tanks.

More importantly, the newly established gasoline supply base deployed in the field was discovered by the Stuka dive bomber, and the German aircraft blew it up.

The huge explosion directly shot down a rampant Stuka dive bomber, which was the first victory of the 9th Armored Division on this day...

After the hapless 9th Armoured Division watched the Stukas leave, they found their second attack was thwarted by the enemy, about 40 tanks were scrapped, and the British 9th Armoured Division was done.
