The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

Winchester is an important town in the southwest of England. It can be said to be a material transfer station. Once it is lost, it means that London will lose contact with the southwest.

Without supplies, the combat effectiveness of the British army in the Dover area will decline rapidly, and there will definitely be a big mess at that time.

Although the British army can also supply from the north, it takes too long, at least two days longer than Winchester.

Wars can often be decided in two days, so Student decided to lead the team himself, with the goal of completely defending Winchester.

………

Winchester, a key transportation town, had a regiment of British troops stationed there at the time. Their mission was to transport supplies.

"I heard that the German army has landed in Dover. Will they attack us?" A British soldier asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, there are 200,000 troops deployed there, they will definitely be able to repel the Germans. Don't forget that last year, a small group of German troops also landed, but they were repelled by us."The British lieutenant next to him said with a smile

"What if the German army really attacks?"

"Yes, with only a thousand of us, we definitely can't hold on."

Many people were talking about it. Although they were in the southwest, the war was far away from them, but also very close.

"Don't worry, if the enemy really attacks us, the war would have been decided long ago. We have already lost, so there is no need to fight any more."The British lieutenant thought for a while and consoled him.

Although he knew he shouldn't console him like this, the fact was that if the enemy really attacks Winchester, it would be better to surrender.

At this time, the roar of the planes in the sky became louder and louder, and many British soldiers murmured:

"What's going on recently? The number of planes taking off is increasing."

"The recent situation is not good. The Air Force has lost a lot of fighter planes."

"Maybe the Germans are coming again."

When the sound of the planes got closer, many British soldiers looked up at the sky and their faces changed drastically.

"Damn it, it's German fighter planes, what are they going to do? Are they going to bomb?"

"Air raid, air raid, sound the air raid sirens!"

"What are you still standing there for?

Sound the air raid alarm immediately."The shrill alarm sounded throughout Winchester, and all the British soldiers who heard the whistle quickly gathered together.

"Attention air defense, quick"

"Sir, maybe these German planes are just passing by."

"Well, don't rush to open fire." The British regiment commander nodded, indicating that he agreed with this statement.

In his opinion, perhaps these German fighter planes were just passing by, so there was no need to take the initiative to open fire and expose their position. After all, there would be no good results if the Germans were angered.

However, this time he seemed to be wrong. These German fighter planes did not fly away. Instead, they circled over Winchester. After a while, white parachutes appeared in the sky and were slowly descending towards Winchester.

Looking at the sky full of white parachutes, the British regiment commander was incredulous:"How is this possible? They are coming for us"

"Damn it, it's German paratroopers, shoot, shoot"

"Anti-aircraft guns fire back immediately, quickly."

At this time, many British soldiers were still in a state of confusion. They didn't understand why the German army wanted to airdrop to Winchester.

"Why raid us?"

"Could it be that Winchester has some secret factory?"

Many people were speculating, but Winchester as a whole had no other military industry except for producing shotguns.

Seeing more and more parachutes in the sky, the British army commander felt disappointed. He had a feeling that he was doomed this time, especially with the countless parachutes in the sky, which he estimated to be at least more than 3,000 people.

The few people he had could not stop the enemy's attack anyway.

Not only that, the German escort fighters also exceeded hundreds, and the British fighters were all transferred to Dover and London for defense. Winchester had no air support at all.

""Boom, boom, boom!" The anti-aircraft machine guns deployed near the station also began to roar, and several tongues of fire flew into the sky. The anti-aircraft guns also began to fire at the transport planes.

But soon they were attacked by Stuka dive bombers and fell silent in a moment.

The German parachutes were even more unscrupulous, and more paratroopers jumped from the planes.

As for the follow-up troops, they would land by air after the vanguard established a temporary field airport, so that they could carry more heavy weapons.

Without heavy weapons, it would be very difficult to capture the city.

Fortunately, in order to defend the Dover area, the British army concentrated a large number of heavy weapons in the southern cities. To the southwest of Winchester, there were very few heavy weapons, and tanks were even rarer. There were not many heavy machine guns distributed to each regiment, only about 20 or 30. Facing the crazy bombing of the German army, they had no ability to fight back.
