When the sun rose again, the German Army Group A, which had spent a whole night crossing the front, had almost taken a stand. A total of 8 armored divisions and more than 1,000 steel forwards composed of various tanks, assault guns and armored vehicles formed an attacking front that was tens of kilometers wide. Behind them were more than 25 divisions of German troops ready to follow up at any time! The first wave of more than 500,000 troops is squeezing through the joint of the Anglo-French allied forces and is preparing to take a look at the fragile underbelly of the British!
Thousands of chariots and tens of thousands of half-tracks and trucks drove across the vast wilderness. The smoke from the vehicles even obscured the rising sun. Looking from the air, dozens of gray-black steel dragons were racing wildly on the road and the wilderness. They circled behind the British, and then divided into two groups. Among them, they galloped towards the north coast. On the other road, they attacked the unsuspecting side of the British! From now on, the survival time of the British Expeditionary Force can only be calculated in hours!
"It's the Germans! They have appeared behind us!" When a British officer picked up the phone to report to his superiors in fear, the roaring artillery shells had smashed over, and groups of tanks formed an indestructible front. In the assault, they easily crushed the British defense line built with sandbags and wood and straw, and harvested all the British troops with dense shells and machine gun bullets.
The first to suffer was the British rear barracks, warehouses and long-range artillery units! These troops, which did not have to face fierce fighting at all, were immediately purged by the Germans!
Thousands of long-range cannons, siege artillery, and train guns were deployed behind the British defense line. Originally, these formidable steel beasts were the backbone of the British defense line. They used fierce artillery to make the Germans countless times. The offensive failed, and the tens of thousands of shells they fired caused the Germans to pay more than 6 figures in casualties! And now, these weapons are extremely vulnerable to the armored forces that the Germans have entered from the rear!
"Our attack has begun, and the front is in full bloom. At a frontal width of at least 10 kilometers, we easily destroyed all the British forces that can be encountered. Their military stations, warehouses, railway stations and railways are all under our attack. Like an all-encompassing storm, it tears everything it encounters to pieces!"
"One after another explosions sounded hundreds of square kilometers in a radius of hundreds of square kilometers. Balls of flames and gun smoke filled the ground. Our army was like driving a tiger into a flock of sheep. We charged, attacked, and cut our opponents. , Siege, and annihilate. The defense system built by the British for two years fell apart under our attack!" A German military officer described the scene in his diary. The British guessed that the Germans would attack, but they did not expect the Germans to attack so quickly and sharply! For the first time after the attack began, the German offensive was invincible.
The British finally realized the danger of annihilation. The first thing that reacted was the air force. They mobilized faster and more mobile! And this time, before the British Army organized an effective counterattack, these remaining Royal Air Forces had already launched a counterattack, although in the subsequent confrontation with the overwhelming Luftwaffe, this counterattack was not only an interpretation of the British's brave battles. There is no other effect besides it!
Hundreds of untouched British aircraft took off hurriedly from various airports. They did not have a unified command and combat plan, and the weapons they carried were messy. They did not care whether they carried high explosive or incendiary bombs under the wings, or whether they were dealing with infantry. It is still a light protection vehicle. According to the above command, they only need to throw all their weapons against the German army on the ground, and then immediately return to the base to carry the ammunition and attack again! However, when these British pilots took off and faced the German army that could be described as a flood, they were completely desperate.
"The Germans' gray-black military uniforms covered almost the entire land. The tide-like troops and the mixed tanks, assault guns, and vehicles rushed toward our defense lines with an unstoppable force. If paper, these defense lines can be easily broken. , My comrades in the squadron and I flew a plane to attack. We dropped dozens of bombs and destroyed tens of thousands of bullets. But in the face of the endless German army, our attack did not have the slightest effect."
"The German counterattack firepower is very fierce, although they did not deliberately organize air defenses, but when hundreds of large-caliber machine guns and machine guns were aimed at the sky, the fierce firepower still made us feel desperate! The fire king covered us. Several of my colleagues were easily swallowed like bugs that fell into a spider web. My back seat was directly pierced by several bullets, and I was lucky enough to carry the blood of my comrades and the shaking The plane returned to the base. After returning to the base, an officer gave me a rifle. He said that my plane could not take off anymore. Now you are an infantryman.” A British pilot recalled this after the war. The scene at that time!
The seemingly huge British fleet was quickly ignored by the extremely large number of Germans The German armored units in the front began to quickly break through the defenses that divided the British, while behind, more than a dozen infantry divisions and fast The division closely followed the pace of the German army. The Germans’ first task was to separate the southernmost fourth and fifth group armies of the British army from the main British army. After the division, the A group army will continue to attack the remaining three groups. A British group army, and the B group army will take over the encirclement of the British 4th and 5th group army after being in place from the southern front, and then slowly eat them.
When the German Army took advantage of the chaos of the British to kill and kill, more than 2,000 planes formed a huge fleet that also descended on the British heads. The fleet was like a dark cloud covering the sky, and the exhaust gas from aircraft engines remained in the air. Thousands of white marks were left. Thousands of bombs and thousands of machine guns continue to harvest life on the ground like death's sickle. They leaped over the British front and launched a frantic attack on bridges, stations and roads in the British control group.
"I will command the three reserve divisions of the Fourth Army to launch an offensive westward, and rely on the terrain and rivers to build a defense system here. If I'm lucky, we can block the Germans for 2 days. During this time I hope The main force of the Fourth Army can withdraw to the north and turn with the British main force." At this time, Admiral Schott, who served as the deputy commander of the Fourth Army, reacted first. Before Marshal Haig gave the order, the conscientious The British general began to plan a counterattack.
