Jagged Germany

  The sun goes down and night falls. The fighting between Britain and Germany also temporarily stopped because of the night. However, the smell of gunpowder smoke and the disgusting smell of blood in the air still made people remember that they are now on the cruel battlefield in the depths.

  After a day of hard work, the three divisions of the German Marine Corps successfully established a solid beachhead in Margate, Dover and Folkestone at a relatively high cost. Subsequently, the German Army's 1st Army, 2nd Army and 3rd Army began to send troops to land. In order to be able to withstand possible counterattacks by the British. As long as it can withstand this wave of British counterattacks, then the German army will be able to truly gain a foothold in the British mainland. It is even possible to launch the next stage of attack as more and more troops land.

  Canterbury, British South East Theater Command. General Ian Hamilton, the commander of the British Continental Army who is also the commander of the theater, looked very ugly. After a day of war, not only the British Army suffered heavy losses. On the contrary, the Germans successfully occupied the beachhead. This is undoubtedly an unacceptable result for Admiral Ian Hamilton.

"Everyone, I know that you all performed very bravely in today's battle. However, it is very regrettable that the final result did not satisfy us. According to the information we have received, the German army has begun to land The chances of us trying to resist the German attack are getting smaller and smaller!" said Admiral Ian Hamilton.

"Your Excellency, in today's battle, we have done our best. The 1st Army lost more than 30,000 people, half of whom were killed by the heavy artillery fire of the Germans and the bombing and strafing of the planes. We have no command of the sea, let alone Air supremacy, to defeat the Germans on the battlefield by the sea is not so difficult!" Admiral Douglas Haig said with a bitter face.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. I believe that through today's battle, you can also see how tough the Germans are! In today's battle, we have tried our best, but the result is still the same .” Admiral Benson also had a wry smile on his face.

  Although Admiral Goff didn't say anything, his expression also showed that he also thought this battle was very annoying.

"Everyone, I know it's very difficult. But we can't give up just because we have difficulties, right? In that case, what's the use of this battle we've prepared so hard for? It's better to surrender to the Germans directly." General Ian Hamilton said.

   Douglas? General Haig and others stopped talking. They also know that no matter what, this battle must be fought, especially if it must be won as much as possible. Otherwise, the British Empire would be completely over. As the generals of the British Empire, they naturally do not want this to happen.

   "Your Excellency, Commander, we need the support of tank troops. The Germans invested a large number of tanks in today's daytime battle. Many sections of our defense line were torn apart by them!" Admiral Haig said.

   "The army doesn't have many tanks, only a thousand or so in total, and they are all in London. I will report to London and ask them to send some tanks. However, the number will not be too many." Admiral Hamilton said.

  Although the British have also been researching tanks since a long time ago, their initial tanks were slow, cumbersome, weak in defense, and very prone to failure. Compared with the tanks that Germany has been able to participate in actual combat, it is simply useless. The German tanks also pointed out a way out for the British in tank research. This made Britain imitate German tanks as much as possible when developing tanks. After all, this is already a relatively mature solution. In times of war, there is no reason why these mature solutions should not be used.

"General, can our air force defeat the German air force? The German planes have been hovering over our heads, are they strafing and bombing, causing great damage to our troops. For the soldiers In terms of psychological pressure, it is even greater!" Admiral Benson also said.

"The fighter planes equipped by our Air Force are far behind the German fighter planes in terms of performance. Even if we go to fight the Germans, there is often only a dead end. In order to protect the precious pilots, we made a decision to avoid letting the Air Force Participating in the war. We are already conducting joint research and development of new aircraft with the Americans. However, it will take a certain amount of time before the development is successful." Admiral Hamilton said.

   "No matter what, the Air Force is still needed to participate in the battle. In this case, at least some of our pressure can be relieved." Admiral Goff said.

  General Hamilton nodded: "I will make a request to the Air Force, and try to let them send some fighters to the battlefield!"

"Everyone, now that the Germans have started to land on a large scale, we can't let them continue like this. Otherwise, it will bring us a lot of trouble. Therefore, I hope we can launch a counterattack and will The Germans go to sea!" said Admiral Hamilton.

   "Counterattack? If we take the initiative to attack, our troops will be hit by the powerful firepower of the Germans. In that case, our casualties will increase further!" Admiral Haig exclaimed.

  The other generals also frowned. Everyone knows very well that the firepower of the German Army is very strong. When defending, they can more or less use fortifications to offset part of the firepower advantage of the German Army. If you take the initiative to attack, it is undoubtedly equivalent to sending yourself to death.

"I mean, launch an attack at night. At night, the German planes cannot take off. Although their warships can still provide some fire support. However, the intensity will not be too great, and the casualties caused to us will be very limited. If we want to drive the Germans into the sea, launching a counterattack at night will be our only chance!" Admiral Hamilton said.

  General Haig thought for a while, then nodded: "It's possible to try. However, we don't know if it will succeed. However, our casualties will definitely not be small."

   "As long as the Germans can be driven into the sea, no matter how high the price is, it will be worth it!" Admiral Hamilton has clearly made up his mind.

   "Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" The other British generals replied one after another.
