Imperial Overlord
: 498 Maidstone
The five organ rocket launchers can pour hundreds of rockets into the enemy's position within a minute.
Therefore, when this attack was completed, the rockets fell on the heads of the British like raindrops, which suddenly made a fully prepared attack by the British army and turned into a farce.
The number of hundreds of British soldiers who retreated back to the position was few and far between, and the two tanks that accompanied the attack were paralyzed on the position, like a beast that had lost its soul.
The British army was frightened by this sudden attack. They suspended the morning attack and reported the news directly to the high command.
"Hello? Hello! What are you talking about? What do you mean the German artillery fire is ten times more violent? Are you dreaming, or did I hear it wrong?" In the headquarters of the British 1st Army, an officer asked loudly on the phone. side.
He put down the phone and reported to the group army chief of staff around him: "Your Excellency, Germany now has heavy artillery support, and our offensive troops have been hit hard."
"It's not the air force's bomb, nor is it concentrated mortars?" The chief of staff heard the subordinate's words and felt unusually surprised.
For the past day, the German army has relied on strong air support and small artillery such as mortars to provide cover.
As a result, just now, the front-line troops encountered even more intense artillery fire, which really made matters worse for the British 1st Army, which was already not going well.
Originally, the British army had an absolute advantage in the number and power of artillery, and the battle was already very difficult. The Germans had more artillery, and this battle could not be fought.
"Report what we have encountered to the high command. The commander of the army has ordered the suspension of the attack." After the chief of staff gave the order, he looked helplessly at the map on the side.
A few minutes ago, the commander of the army had gone to the front to inspect the position. The German defense line could not be broken for a long time, which made the British army, who had an advantage in strength, very irritable.
"Damn it, you have to show some flaws, right? Could it be that the generals on the opposite side are all gods?" The chief of staff shouted loudly in his heart, complaining about God's unfairness.
Just when the chief of staff complained that his enemy was so strong that his troops were passive everywhere, the commander of the British 1st Army was experiencing what is called a storm of steel at this time.
A dense round of rocket artillery poured on the British defenders' positions, and the Germans then began to attack under the cover of tanks.
Before the British troops could organize effective resistance, their positions were already broken through by the Germans. Just like what the Germans had done before, after the German armored troops broke through the enemy positions, they began to advance in depth.
Like a sharp spear, after piercing the enemy's shield, it rushes towards the enemy's belly with an indomitable momentum.
When the commander of the British 1st Army Group found that the line he was inspecting had been breached by the Germans, he really wanted to give God a middle finger.
It was so bad luck that during the inspection, the German troops on the front line suddenly counterattacked, and their own troops were so unsatisfactory that they lost their defensive positions without holding on for a few minutes.
He even wanted to curse, his troops stormed for 2 hours, and the line of defense hastily established by the Germans did not move at all.
After the German offensive was launched, his troops only lasted for less than 20 minutes, and then they began to retreat in embarrassment, leaving their commanders behind.
"Bastard!" The British Army general gritted his teeth and gave his soldiers a very pertinent evaluation, and then he could only get into the car and run with his troops.
Not far behind him, a German Panzer 3 was raging. This tank smashed into the British army's position splendidly, and slaughtered the slow-running or counterattacking British troops.
"Quick! Quickly remove the commander flag from the car! Damn it!" The admiral shouted to his guards while finding a steel helmet and clasping it on his head.
The car was started, and then the German bullets flew over. There is a car here that was seen by the German attacking troops, and naturally there is no plan to let it go.
The British troops retreated too fast, so Mr. Admiral's escape plan was doomed to be full of tragedy before it even started.
The British general may not have seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, nor can he understand the feeling of cutting off his beard and throwing his cape when Cao Cao was chased by Ma Chao.
But he can fully appreciate his dilemma at this moment: being chased and killed by German soldiers behind him, he has to tear down the commander flag and hide it.
As soon as the commander ran away, the remaining commanders of the British army did not have the intention to stay and fight to the end. Many people began to retreat in the crowd, and more people had to choose to surrender in the face of the pursuit of the German army.
There was chaos on the ground, and the German tanks were full of soldiers. It only took an hour for the German paratroopers to cooperate with the Panzer Division of Adolf Hitler's Guard Flag, expanding the breach and tearing the British position to pieces.
At 11 a.m., a group of German soldiers mixed with the retreating British troops and drove a truck into the city of Maidstone, England.
Fortunately, the truck was captured by the British, and it didn't even have time to replace the emblem on it.
As if they were playing a game, they themselves did not know that they had passed all their companions and rushed deep into the place full of British soldiers alone.
The result was even more dramatic. They stopped after they found the British soldiers outside the car and confirmed that no friendly troops were following behind.
Then, amid the crowd of British soldiers, they turned around and drove in the direction they came from.
What's more interesting is that the British soldiers gave way to the car in a confused way, and then some soldiers cheered at the truck that was rushing towards the enemy's attack.
It was so dramatic that the German soldiers finally drove the car back to the middle of the German attacking troops.
What makes people laugh and cry is that the German troops, who were in a hurry to gather troops, **** prisoners and organize a new offensive, saw a British army truck, but did not open fire.
The level of chaos on the scene was evident, with troops from both sides scattered over an area of tens of kilometers. Rather than saying that the Germans surrounded some of the British troops, it would be better to say that they were all in chaos.
It was not until the truck stopped beside the road, and the German soldier who was driving jumped out of the car and stood on the side of the road smoking a cigarette, that someone hurried to the side of the truck and brought a flag representing identification.
By covering this flag on the bonnet of the truck, the truck will no longer have the problem of being accidentally injured by friendly forces.
Then, driving this car and following behind several tanks, these lucky German soldiers entered Maidstone and participated in the brief street battle there.
At noon, the German soldiers rushed to the Maidstone city center building. The British 1st Army collapsed and had to continue to retreat towards London.
The Germans soon occupied the important city of Maidstone, and a new line of defense was arranged outside the city.
They were now less than thirty-five kilometers from London in a straight line. If the British retreated another 30 kilometers, Churchill would be sitting in London and he could hear the German attacking guns.
The British army, which was defeated by the troops in front, finally stabilized its position temporarily after encountering the local 3rd Army.
Maidstone was occupied by the Germans, which directly led to the enemy on both sides of Chatham. The main force of the British 2nd Army, which was defending the Rye area, feared that its flanks would be penetrated by the Germans and had to move north.
Rye was occupied by German soldiers without blood at 2:00 p.m. that day, and then Hastings also planted the German **** flag.
On the 15th of February, the British seemed to have lost more territory than on the first day. What makes people feel more tragic is that the British 1st Army Group, as the main force of the coastal defense force, no longer has the ability to fight alone.
The unit suffered heavy losses, and a large amount of baggage and equipment was discarded. They abandoned Maidstone, and the food and ammunition hoarded there.
Because the retreat was too hasty, the gasoline stored in the warehouse, the ammunition in the warehouse, and the many heavy artillery on the surrounding positions were not destroyed in time.
The Germans not only captured about 100 large-caliber howitzers, but also found the shells that these howitzers needed. Coupled with tow trucks and some not-so-fresh bread, this eased a lot of German material needs. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
The fuel, in particular, surprised Dietrich. His "reconnaissance operation" this time can be said to be a great success, and even Liszt had to admit that his offensive plan was "a little too conservative" in some respects.
Marshal Liszt, who had won two sides, focused his attack on the direction of Chatham. He is not in a hurry to attack the direction of London, because expanding the landing field is still his most important combat task so far.
The newly built two huge floating piers carry the main transportation tasks of the day. A large number of supplies were transported to Britain by sea, and even the most optimistic predictions before the war would not have made the landing so smooth.
Chatham's attack was not smooth, and the battle here somewhat brought back a little bit of face for the British 1st Army, which was performing garbage today.
The British 1st Armoured Division, which had retreated here, persisted in the battle. Under the onslaught of the 112th Mechanized Infantry Division commanded by Hermann, the battle was still tenacious until dinner time.
The British 2nd Armoured Division, which was better equipped and more complete, had to rearrange its defense lines 7 kilometers north of Maidstone at dinner time.
