The Third Reich in Desperation

But when encountering German soldiers who are also well-trained and even have stronger individual qualities, all weaknesses are infinitely magnified in an instant!

Fatigued troops; low firepower; and the British army, which accounted for the majority of the expeditionary force, was far inferior to the combat level of the German Army... All of these have led to the current superiority of the expeditionary force Instead, it was suppressed by the German army.

The battle has reached its climax, and both sides have invested the strongest force.Since no one has a backup, it is only a matter of time before the expeditionary force suppressed by the German army fails.

If it goes on, it will definitely be a failure.But if he chooses to retreat in embarrassment, Oliver can't afford that responsibility.

"General Oliver," Bernard, a colleague, persuaded in fluent English: "My people can't hold on anymore, and people who believe in you can't do better. Then... .We now have only one way to go."

Oliver knew very well what the road Bernard was talking about.But he couldn't go that way, and he didn't dare to go that way.

"No!" Oliver refused loudly: "If you withdraw now, all your efforts will be in vain. The country will not agree with me to do this... In short, it must not be withdrawn!"

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, maybe things will turn around..." Oliver thought with a sick face.

There will be no turning point, Bernard knows very well.

All the power has been used. If they can't win now, then this battle will never be won with their strength.It's just that Oliver, who is under great responsibility and pressure, has already started to collapse at this moment, and he can't listen to any analysis.

"General! There are a large number of Norwegian troops in the north, and they are attacking the northern flank of our army!" The staff officer's report became the last straw that crushed Oliver.

"Hold me up..." Oliver felt a sweetness in his throat, and then a mouthful of blood gushed out, interrupting his speech.

"Plop!" With a dull impact, Lieutenant General Oliver, the commander-in-chief of the British and French Expeditionary Forces, fell to the ground unconscious...

Body 3 Chapter Eleven Different Progress

"The attack went very smoothly. My men have just broken through the first line of defense of the British army on the periphery." Alfred laughed as soon as he walked into Sundro's headquarters.

As the only unit equipped with a small amount of German weapons in the entire Norwegian 5th Division, Alfred's reinforced battalion was put into the front line as the main force from the beginning.It doesn't matter if you don't fight, this fight will result in a big victory.

Although it is known that the German army has launched a large-scale offensive in the south, the British and French allied forces are struggling to deal with the crumbling southern defense line.However, Sun Deluo and Alfred did not expect to break through the northern defense line of the British army so easily.

That was the defense line of the British army, and it was broken through by the Norwegian army just like that! ?

After being silent for two seconds, Sun Deluo said in relief: "This is a good thing. It shows that the Germans are fighting fiercely in the south, so the British army can only leave very little force to deal with us."

"That is to say, even if we take the opportunity to press the main force up now, it will be difficult for the British army to come up with support troops to deal with it. In this way, we may be able to achieve a greater breakthrough in the north in a short time." Sun Deluo smiled Get up: "This is a great fighter!"

"That's right, this is a great opportunity for us to make the most of our efforts." Alfred urged: "Master, before the enemy reacts, hurry up and put the main force of the division into the battlefield."

Alfred's reinforced battalion of about 700 people can still break through the outer defense line of the British army. If he joins Sun Deluo's entire division, the northern defense zone of the British army will be in danger.

After thinking for less than 2 minutes, Sun Deluo issued the exciting order: "Order all the officers and soldiers of the 5th Division to get ready. After 10 minutes, the vanguard troops will enter the battlefield. The follow-up troops will enter the battlefield one after another after capturing the enemy's equipment. .”

Although Sun Deluo's 5th Division now has a large number of tens of thousands of people, there are less than 4000 people who really have weapons in their hands.The rest are militiamen without regular weapons.

Because of this, when Sun Deluo gave the order, he did not put all 4000 troops into the battlefield at the beginning, but only pressed the main vanguard of less than [-] people.The remaining troops, after cleaning the battlefield, can be armed with captured British equipment, and then put into subsequent battles.

A small country has a small country's style of play, and this is how the Norwegian army plays.

"Well, our division can only fight the vanguard. It's a good idea for the follow-up troops to wait until they get their weapons." Alfred nodded, agreeing with Colonel Sundro's command method.

"So..." Sun Deluo asked Alfred straight to the point: "Where are your people advancing now?"

"The second outer line of defense of the British army." Alfred replied: "As long as we get the coordinated support of the successor troops, my people can launch a strong attack and take down this line of defense."

Alfred's remarks were not casual guarantees, but he said after his reinforced battalion had achieved evenly matched results on the second outer line of defense of the British army.

Seeing Alfred who was confident that he could make a breakthrough, Colonel Sundro touched his chin: "Well, since you are so confident, I will let the support troops cooperate with all their strength."

Glancing at Alfred, Sun Delo said slowly: "Try to fight as fast as possible. I don't think it will take long for the German army to be in the south. At least, our Norwegian soldiers should not lag behind the German friendly army too much."

"Yes!" Alfred stood at attention and saluted: "I will definitely not embarrass the Norwegian army. Give me another three hours, and I will personally lead the troops to break through the two lines of defense of the British army."

.............

While the Norwegian 5th Division in the north was still complacent about breaking through the first outer line of defense of the British army, the 30th German Division in the south had already broken into the core defense line of the British and French allied forces.

"First company commander!" Captain Hoffman clasped the helmet on his head with his backhand, and shouted loudly: "The people who lead you will copy over from the side and occupy the high ground on the left!"

On the high ground that Hoffman pointed out, a machine gun position hidden by the British army was swallowing dazzling flames.

Since it was not discovered in advance, Hoffman's first battalion was killed by the Vickers heavy machine guns on the hidden positions of the British at least 10 people.Moreover, this data is still increasing.

"Conceal! Pay attention to concealment!" Hoffman yelled anxiously, regardless of the dust on his face: "Scatter them all, don't pile them together!"

After all, the British army comes from a superpower with excellent military traditions. Even if the combat quality of the soldiers is not satisfactory, the tactical level of the officers is not inferior.

Let's just say that now, a machine gun position cleverly arranged in the middle of the back of the high ground, followed by the attacker's blind spot, escaped the sight of the German [-]st Battalion and became a deadly ambush.When the German advancing position reached the interior of the parallel line of the high ground, the originally concealed machine gun position suddenly opened fire, breaking up the German assault formation in an instant.

This is the background of a superpower. Even though the soldiers' physical training may have been slack, the quality of the officers has been guaranteed.To put it simply, British military officers have learned in place in the layout of defensive positions, the use of battlefield tactics, and the distribution and concealment of firepower.

Looking at Europe, only the German army is left with the ability and quality of officers on par with the British army.Although France also wants to do this, it has not been successful.As for Italy, the fourth most powerful country in continental Europe, in view of the generally low cultural quality of the country, it can barely guarantee the ability of senior military officers to barely pass.

The quality of the army cannot be improved overnight.In layman's terms, the quality of the army is inextricably linked to the level of the officers, and the level of the officers is often related to the cultural level of the people.

Before World War II, Italian officials made a statistical comparison: the Italian army had 330 illiterates per 68 people, the French army had [-] illiterates per [-] people, and the German and British recruits had an average of There is only one illiterate. "

This is why the tactical execution capabilities of the German army and the British army are among the leading in Europe.The mass popularization of national education has left the foundation for these two countries to become superpowers.

However, after Britain became a superpower, it became more and more lax, gradually ignoring the training of individual soldiers, and only maintaining the training of officers.However, Germany, which was defeated in World War I, tried its best to ensure the two-way training of officers and soldiers at the same time, avoiding the situation of "explaining the battlefield is as fierce as a tiger, and combat operations are [-]".

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With the precise operation of a company of soldiers, they used three light 40mm grenade launchers to destroy the small British heavy machine gun positions in a targeted manner.

Body 3 Chapter [-] The End of the Battle of Norway

Just when Sun Deluo's Norwegian Fifth Division finally conquered the second outlying position of the British army in the north, the British who clearly had an outlying position left surrendered to them.

"What's going on? The British army felt that they couldn't defend anyway, so they surrendered?" In a trench that had just been occupied, Alfred looked suspiciously at the British major holding a white flag in front of him.

"Is there anyone who can speak English?" Alfred curled his lips and said loudly, "Someone who can speak English, ask what is going on with the British guy?"

Although Alfred had already asked around, no one answered.

Originally, Alfred knew foreign languages. Having served as the battalion commander of the Volunteer Battalion to Aid Finland, he could not only speak his own Norwegian, but also Swedish and Finnish.But none of the languages ​​of the three countries can be used at the moment.

"Marvin, aren't you known as a master of foreign languages? You can't speak English?" Alfred asked a little angrily.

Obviously won, but won inexplicably.Obviously there are insiders who can ask, but there is no way to communicate.There is nothing more aggrieved than this.

"I know a few English words." Marvin shook his head, and replied regretfully: "I am a pro-German, not an Anglophile. If you want me to communicate with Germans, I can speak German fluently. But communicating with the British, this is really powerless."

Marvin's so-called master of foreign languages ​​is actually one more German than Alfred.As for asking him to speak English, apart from knowing a few simple words, he is also at a loss.
