Chapter 704： Mobilize troops

"If the Germans used this amphibious tank to attack in large quantities at night, we would not be able to block the main force of the Germans on the beach with the existing strength." Archibald said to Churchill.

Britain is safe, because it is separated by the English Channel, so in the First World War, the British mainland was not affected. Britain mainly sent troops to fight side by side with France.

But now it is different. Obviously, the goal of the Germans is to cross the strait and land!

Because the German army is really too powerful, the most important bottom line for protecting Britain is not to allow the Germans to land on the beaches, and not to allow the Germans to obtain a good seaport. If the Germans occupy the beachhead, then They will continue to send their army over. It is conceivable that, in that case, the German occupation of Britain is a certainty.

On the beach, it will be a drunk and tragic battle. If Britain can push the German soldiers who have landed into the sea before the next wave of German landing troops arrives, then Britain will win. If Germany People hold on, and support keeps coming, then the German wins.

"In other words, we must strengthen the defense forces in Dover and other places." Churchill frowned and said.

Now that it has been determined that the Germans will land in Dover, the most important thing for our side is to strengthen Dover’s defense. At that time, even if it is filled with life, it will be the same as in the First World War. Push into the sea!

It’s just that, unlike in history, those British expeditionary forces are now working in German mines. There are very few native British troops. Although they are constantly recruiting troops, not a civilian can become a soldier at any time. They have to strengthen training, especially now, if civilians are allowed to go up with guns, it is not much different from sending them to death.

The best way is to draw from the existing troops!

Churchill looked at the map and said: "Move some of the garrisons from various places to Dover. At the same time, conscript the reserve team to form a second line of defense between London and Dover. Once the Germans break through Once we have our beach position, we will continue to fight in the back."

The British island country seriously lacks strategic depth. If the Germans land from here, they will be able to reach London in a few days!

At that time, you have to think about how to retreat to the rear.

Churchill has already felt a lot of pressure, but he will never give in. In the end, the big deal is to sleep with England. In short, Churchill is determined.

The order for the mobilization of the troops was issued very quickly. Almost before dawn, there were already troops and they were ordered to move out.

such as.

Plymouth.

The high P-shaped flag, fluttering in the empty square, the defending commander Sir Nelty Ramsey, standing under the flagpole, looking at the last truck, carrying his soldiers, and leaving the base here .

There are 30,000 defenders in the entire port, and now, with a transfer order, 20,000 defenders will be transferred to Dover. Faced with this transfer order, he has nothing to say.

Executing orders is the responsibility of a soldier, and now the British Empire has long been swayed by storms.

The superior judged that the expected landing location of the Germans was in Dover, so the defenders here would have to be mobilized. This was of course a high-level secret, and only people of his level would know the inside story.

It is conceivable that a fierce battle will erupt in Dover, and the one he sent away now, maybe, will not survive even a week, just like the Verdun meat grinder of World War I, many people Will die in battle.

There is no feeling of grief and anger, maybe, I will embark on this path?

In the distance is the port. Once, when the empire was at its strongest, the masts in the port were like forests, and battleships lined up in a row. But now, there are less than ten battleships in the harbor, even one. There are no warships with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons.

Valuable warships will not be based on this side of the strait, but are on the west of the British islands.

The war is approaching day by day, and the war officially broke out. It is estimated that it will not exceed a week!

The sun is rising slowly, it seems that today is a good weather, if so, then enjoy the peace of this moment!

...

Paris.

Quickly slashed to deal with the mental illness Goring, Cyrek returned to Paris again, and personally handled it, which was enough to show Cyrek's importance to Goring, and personally sent Goring to the mental hospital, it was enough to show Cyrek to Goring. Care!

"In the French Volunteers, there really was a spy for the British." Reinhardt reported to Cyrick. "There was a spy who swam across the strait and ran to report to the British. The British believed that we were here. The plan for Foll’s landing is now drawing troops from various places to Dover, and 20,000 people from Plymouth."

It’s really easy to use these thirty-six strategies of the older generation! Cyric thought in his heart that successfully mobilized Plymouth's defenders, and it was easier for his own to attack Plymouth.

"The head of Cyrenk, Krupp, has conducted a careful study on the KV-1 tank. Detailed data shows that the protection of this tank is quite good. The 50mm tank gun we used last time was just able to It's just a breakdown." After Reinhardt finished reporting, Marshal Keitel reported to Cyric.

When the KV-1 tank was acquired from the battlefield, Krupp’s technicians conducted a careful study of this tank, and found that the 50mm anti-tank gun of its own was only able to penetrate it just now!

The Soviets learned their lesson. In the next attack, they would definitely thicken their tanks. Even if they were not processed in the factory at the rear, but only on the battlefield, it was easy to install the track shoes in the front to increase protection. In this case, the Finnish anti-tank guns would not be able to penetrate them!

This is dangerous. Once the Soviet tanks broke through the Finns' line of defense and entered the rear, where the road network was everywhere, the Soviets were likely to copy the German blitzkrieg experience!

Such a situation must never happen!

So, what kind of equipment should Finland provide? In fact, the penetration depth of 50mm caliber can continue to be improved, that is, the sub-caliber armor-piercing bullet! But this thing is currently absolutely confidential.

Is it to provide Finland with a 75mm anti-tank gun? Of course not! This anti-tank gun is currently not equipped with a large number of German troops! Excellent advanced weapons cannot be provided in this way.

So, what should be offered to Finland?

Suddenly, something came to Cyric's mind: "Did we provide Finland with 88mm anti-aircraft guns?"
