Chapter 2066 Destruction Five

However, just when the British thought they were about to escape, they ushered in the firepower of the Germans like a storm! At the corner of the L-shaped road section, what awaited them was a dense rain of bullets consisting of 3 40MM rapid-fire guns, 4 mortars, and as many as a dozen machine guns! Originally, if these weapons were distributed in the narrow and long ambush areas on both sides, the lethality would be very limited, but when they were concentrated in a small area and faced head-on, the fierce firepower instantly smashed the entire British convoy into several pieces. part!

The fire dragons ran through the convoy of the British, with violent explosions one after another, and flames shot up into the sky, turning the night into day. Under the light of the fire, you can see groups of British soldiers jumping out of the car in horror and trying to rely on the roadbed Seeking cover, however, what awaited them was dense bullets like migratory locusts and anti-personnel mines planted on both sides of the roadbed. Although the British tried to resist, the battle has basically ended. On the front road, the wreckage of British vehicles and the fierce firepower of the Germans made this road a passage to the underworld. If you want to retreat, you must blocked by own vehicle. More than 90% of the British people didn't know what to do, but there was a small group of people who bravely broke into the night from the side and slipped through the gaps in the German encirclement.

"The Germans' ambush was very good. Their numbers were not large, and their heavy firepower was limited. If they followed the normal layout and fought with a stance, they would not be able to beat us at all. However, the opponent made good use of us. The psychology of escape, cut off the tail so that we could not retreat, on time but did not cut off the head immediately, because it would make us fight for our lives and break out to the sides, and the Germans were weak, they could neither prevent us from breaking out, nor They beat us, so they used the terrain to design an ambush circle in front. When our leading vehicle passed, when we thought it was safe, they caught us off guard. Whether it was the overall layout of the opponent, or the distribution of firepower and the minefield These details are done very well, but the reason why I was able to run out at the beginning was largely due to luck. I felt that the bullet screen on the side was too thin, and then I took people out." After the war, Montgomery said: Recall the scene at that time.

Of course, this battle was just a small episode on the entire battlefield. What is really important is that after the German army broke through on a large scale from the front and formed an encirclement situation against the Hamilton Army, the Schmidt battle group that had already entered the rear of the French army also Suddenly, Xingye went north and successfully blocked the last gap. In one night, the two German armies cooperated with each other to completely encircle the Hamilton Army. But a full 18 hours!

"The British are dead. Maybe they will surrender tomorrow. The Germans said that they can solve the Hamilton Army in 3 days. It seems that they are not bragging." Petain looked at the information sent and said, of course, as the so-called The solution does not mean killing or capturing all the 240,000 British troops in the entire group army. In fact, in such a hasty situation, if the British troops break through the siege, some of them will definitely be able to escape, and the number may exceed 2 divisions. But they have been dispersed and lost almost all of their heavy equipment. Under such circumstances, the group army has no combat effectiveness, so it can naturally be counted as being wiped out.

Of course, there are many conditions for the Germans to be able to act so smoothly this time, such as the full cooperation of the French army, the strategic misjudgment of the British, and the fact that the German army fought fast in a completely field environment. This tactic made the British very uncomfortable. To be honest, even in Turkey, the combat effectiveness of the fast troops of the French army is a bit higher than that of the British. The troops are still worse than the French,

The same goes for tactics. Of course, the British infantry is stronger.

"So what do you think the Germans will do next?" Marshal Foch asked.

"They will leave a certain amount of troops to kill the Hamilton Army, and the main force will go north, cross the channel we left with the other four German armies, and then detour to the rear of the British position, and then launch a centripetal assault, just like the Bavarian Army. It's like killing millions of Russian troops in Poland's pocket. Then, the ground warfare part of this war is over." Petain said with a sigh.

"Yeah, it's over. We have exhausted the decades of wealth, population and troops accumulated by France but have not received any compensation. The war is completely meaningless." Marshal Foch said.

"At least we understand one thing." Petain said blankly.

"What's the matter?" Marshal Foch asked curiously.

"If one day the entire European continent is once again covered by war, at least we can't become the enemy of Germany. The German army is too strong. And France and Germany are next to each other..." Petain said Before Foch could speak again, he left the room.

"The so-called despair probably means this." Foch said with a sigh.

At the same time, in the German Western Front Command, Ruprecht and his generals are also busy, but they are busy now and have little to do with the Hamilton Army, because this is destined to be a deadly battle. Fish out.... It is enough to give Crook command of one army group. Now, except for a small number of troops that are still used to guard the French, the remaining two and a half armies will be ready to go north. They will cooperate with the long-dormant Army Group A, and then follow the gap opened by the French to encircle and annihilate the entire British Expeditionary Force in one fell swoop! This will be a great battle that will be remembered by history and the world, because it will be the war with the greatest loss in the history of the British Army! The casualties and captured personnel caused by this battle alone to the British army may exceed 7 figures!

"Your Highness, Army Group A is ready. We are ready to attack at any time. We don't even need to wait for the air force group to move north. Our army can complete the mission by relying on our own strength." Xiao Maoqi said.

"I believe that the main forces of Army Group A and Army B can accomplish this task, and I also believe that relying on the German Army to besiege the British Army when the British are caught off guard will be able to win. But there is one thing that the Army cannot do, that is, if the British Army If the army chooses to withdraw from the sea, what will the army do? Do you want to use a large number of heavy artillery to advance to the sea to attack the British transport ships in the English Channel? The significance of the air force lies in the blockade of the English Channel, which cannot be achieved by relying solely on the army. said Ruprecht.
