The Third Reich in Desperation

Third Reich Episode 372

This method was very convenient to use in the confrontation between the two armies. The German army also used this method to attack many European countries one after another.

But the German army will not be easily defeated by their best tactics. Although they cannot carry heavy weapons, they can still carry such things as the Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launcher.

Chapter 569 of the main text still has this kind of operation?

The well-trained German paratroopers quickly launched an attack on the only British tank from several directions with anti-tank rocket launchers.

For this group of well-trained German paratroopers, it was too easy to attack the tank with an anti-tank bazooka at such a short distance.

It's different from the British iron palm bazooka, which didn't even install safety insurance, and it was easier to blow up one's own people than to blow up the enemy.The German paratroopers are equipped with the improved and updated third-generation folding scale Iron Fist rocket launcher, which is much more mature in terms of technology and design.

On the other hand, the British infantry who were supposed to show up to protect the British tanks did not.

They didn't even know that the German paratroopers carried anti-tank rocket launchers, so that when the German soldiers took the anti-tank rocket launchers to aim and shoot at the window, these British soldiers didn't even interfere.

It wasn't until the German army blew up the only Martil tank that these British infantrymen realized how terrifying the weapons in the opponent's hands were.

Accompanied by a loud "boom", black smoke rose from the only Matilda tank, and the engine made a strange noise, and then the body of the tank twitched a few times on the spot before stopping its progress.

Seconds later, the sound of the explosion reached Captain Mitchell in a building to the south.The commander of the British company hurriedly spit out the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth, trotted, and came to Smith who was watching the enemy with a telescope by the window: "What happened? Smith, where did it come from so big?" Explosion?"

"Captain, big...something is wrong!" Smith put down the binoculars in his hand, looked at Mitchell blankly, and said tremblingly.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Captain Mitchell asked anxiously.

"Our Matilda tank was blown up by the Germans!" Smith said desperately, his eyes full of fear.

"What?" Captain Mitchell's eyes were as big as light bulbs, and he asked with an unbelievable expression: "How could those paratroopers have heavy weapons? Without heavy weapons, what did they use to fight the tanks? "

"I don't know where they got the tank-fighting weapons, but I think they may be using weapons similar to the iron palm rocket launchers of the National Guard." Smith said helplessly.

"Iron Palm Bazooka? That kind of thing really works?!" Mitchell yelled in disbelief, "If this thing could work, the National Guard would have cleaned up the armored units of the Germans long ago. Yes. But I heard that in Portsmouth, the German tanks basically lost nothing!"

Immediately, Captain Mitchell complained dissatisfiedly: "This kind of thing happened now, and it has a lot to do with you not seriously confirming it when you observed it at the beginning. You hurry up and think of a way to make up for it."

"I..." Smith just wanted to refute Mitchell's blaming himself, but he immediately dismissed his stupid idea.

Indeed, in this case, Smith cannot refute. After all, the official rank crushes people to death, let alone others beat you by more than one rank.

And while Smith was dumped by Mitchell, the German army's actions did not stop at all.

When the engine of the British army's only Martil tank stopped and the exhaust pipe could no longer emit black smoke, the German counterattack began.

The German paratroopers formed a group of 3 to 5 people and used the surrounding low buildings as cover to squeeze the British troops who had fought before.

Mitchell, who had lost his tank, believed that he could not beat the Germans, so he timidly ordered the entire company to retreat from the two wings of the German-occupied building complex, and continued to escape under the pursuit of the Germans.

In just an hour or so, the paratroopers occupied half a block in the northern area of ​​Elvington and annihilated about 40 British soldiers. The number of serious injuries and deaths of the German army was only 9 People, most of them were killed in the tank shelling just now.

The real head-to-head confrontation with the British army did not actually cause much loss to the paratroopers.

Now most of the remaining British soldiers are huddled in the three small buildings south of Elvington, and the British soldiers who are not in the buildings are also retreating in this direction.

"The firepower of the Germans is too fierce, and we are almost unable to withstand it!" After returning to the south, using the radio station left here, Captain Mitchell kept asking for help from the Dover Front Command, but Dover The front-line command of Ernst rejected Mitchell's request without hesitation, because at this time they had already begun to surrender to Weygand's French army.

As a senior, the Dover frontline command also kindly reminded Mitchell on the radio that if it doesn't work, you can follow their example, surrender once, and be free forever.

Captain Mitchell was desperate. He understood the current situation of his troops, and now the troops could only fight alone.

"Company commander! Our medicines are seriously low!" Smith, who has not yet lost his life, rushed into the bedroom on the second floor of the building where Mitchell was located and reported.

"Understood." Captain Mitchell nodded, suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked Smith inexplicably, "Do we have any prisoners?"

"Yes! But there are only two wounded German soldiers." Smith was stunned. Although he didn't understand why Mitchell asked this, he quickly replied: "When the Matilda tank was still there, we attacked a A small house, and captured two wounded soldiers who were wounded by tanks. Both prisoners were seriously wounded, so they did not evacuate with other German soldiers in time.”

"Yeah." Captain Mitchell lit another cigarette, took a deep puff, threw the empty cigarette box aside, and said with a wry smile: "Let's finish them off, our current strength is probably only We can only kill these two German soldiers."

When ordering the execution of the wounded German soldiers, Captain Mitchell did not feel the slightest sense of guilt. On the contrary, he still had a trace of relief in his heart, because it was just a matter of course.

And this is war. When you see a few wounded soldiers and captives or dozens of corpses in front of you, you should not have any pity at this time, because this is the ruthlessness of war, but a particle ejected Likewise no one will take pity on you while wearing your chest.

"Ah? Okay." Smith accepted the order in surprise, and then muttered in a low voice, "I thought you were going to hand over these two prisoners to surrender to the Germans?"

"Wait, what are you whispering!" Mitchell suddenly called out to Smith.

Realizing that what he whispered was heard, Smith scratched his hair shyly: "I just said to hand over the prisoners..."

"Why didn't I think of it!" Mitchell interrupted Smith cheerfully before he even finished speaking, "There is still such an operation? Then do it quickly!"

Body 5 Chapter [-] The Third Reich in Desperation ([-])

Germany, Berlin, Führer's residence.

Recently, Reinhardt suddenly felt that everything was going too smoothly, and it was hard for him to believe it went so smoothly.

According to the battle reports sent back from the front line, among the British defense forces, not only the National Guard surrendered to a very high degree, but even the remaining British regular army also surrendered in large numbers.

Today, Portsmouth has been successfully broken through, and the National Self-Defense Force there is no match for the main force of the German army.

In the direction of Dover, the Franco-Norwegian coalition forces under the command of Weygand, with the help of the German navy and air force, fought vigorously, and even recently forced the surrender of the British frontline headquarters in Dover.

In other words, the Allied forces made decisive breakthroughs in both landing directions.Next, there seems to be no suspense about the outcome of the Battle of Britain.

According to this rhythm, Reinhardt could not think of a second possibility other than victory.

And winning the UK means winning the Royal Navy Fleet and a series of shipyards. The Third Reich High Seas Fleet's ocean-going combat capability will thus be greatly enhanced and it will become a real "high seas" fleet!

And the strengthened fleet even has the strength to pose a threat to the mainland of the United States!

Secondly, it is the key point that Reinhardt pursued from the very beginning and laid out 20 years ago-Germany will have no worries on the Western Front!

In terms of military affairs, the German army can invest more troops in other battlefields, and the benefits are naturally obvious.

Politically, the French traitor de Gaulle's Free France will no longer have any influence.Next, the Third Reich, which defeated the two permanent members of the League of Nations in a row, will logically make the new League of Nations inherit the orthodoxy and exert its international influence and leadership.

Incidentally, without the British Isles, it will be difficult for the US strategic counterattack to find a landing point, which may eventually lead to the US abandoning Europe.

Who else can the United States fight with after giving up Europe?Japan of Asia, of course!

In this way, everything will present the perfect situation that Reinhardt most hopes for.

The most important thing is that after the fall of Britain, it is impossible for the Soviet army to get tens of thousands of aircraft, more than 2 tanks, and more than 13 transport vehicles aided by the United States and the United Kingdom in the future during the Soviet-German war. with motorcycle.And the 10 tons of gunpowder, 7 submachine guns and more than [-] anti-aircraft guns will not become the capital of the Soviet army's expansion.

More importantly, Britain and the United States supported the Soviet army to mass-produce steel for manufacturing tanks, and it would definitely not reach the historical amount of more than 200 million tons!

Yes, as long as anyone with a little brain will find out from the data, it is no longer aid, this is just throwing bricks directly on the balance of war!

Without such a terrifying scale of American blood transfusions in the future, even if the Soviet army dared to expand its troops in large numbers like in history, they would not be able to provide enough equipment for the troops.An army without guaranteed weapons and equipment is not much different from the current British National Guard, just a group of militias.
