Chapter 296

The first night the German troops spent in Dover was a disaster. Chaos lasted throughout the night.

There were constant firefights from airships in the sky, while the troops on the ground huddled in trenches to hide from bombs falling from the sky.

If it weren't for the fact that the German army lost too many troops during the day, a surprise attack at night might be able to drive the German army back to the sea.

But all this can only be if.

Douglas Haig launched a desperate counterattack during the day, hoping to drive the unknown German army into the sea.

And for this purpose, he invested all his reserves and all nearby troops.

By nightfall, Haig had less than 20,000 men left.

In any case, with the troops he had, it was absolutely impossible to drive the German army into the sea.

At dawn, the beach was extremely miserable. There were airship wreckage everywhere, and the bodies in the pods had been burned to black coke.

Some pods were simply torn into pieces by the impact of the explosion.

Rommel looked at the scene in front of him and felt like crying.

Last night, his troops had just landed ashore and before they could figure out where to go, they were smashed to pieces by two airships falling from the sky!

One of the airships was also loaded with a large amount of explosives.

The huge explosion directly swallowed up a company.

I didn't even see the face of the British people, so I was immediately reimbursed.

While in France, the 7th Division was almost completely destroyed. It was only with the care of the head of state that large-caliber mortars purchased from the Ming Dynasty were brought in.

In the army, Rommel already had the title of "The Butcher". This happened before he even saw the British, which further cemented Rommel's "good reputation"

As a highly qualified officer, Rommel was an important source of gossip.

Rommel was still holding back his energy and was preparing to make a name for himself in the Battle of England. But unexpectedly, he was suddenly interrupted.

"Dispense the entire division and advance towards London." Rommel calmed down his bad mood and gave the order to his men.

A direct descendant is a direct descendant, and there is absolutely no difference in treatment. The honor of being the first to enter Paris will forever be written in the military history of the 7th Division.

Now, Rommel wanted to be the first to enter London.

If he can accomplish such a feat, he will surely shine in history as a division commander.

"Yes!" the chief of staff responded and began to direct the troops to move in.

After the Battle of France, the 7th Division suffered more than 70% casualties.

It can be said that the current 7th Division was almost rebuilt.

Not only are the personnel elites recruited from various armies, but the equipment is also the best in Germany.

From this point we can see how partial Axi is.

The commander-in-chief of the landing, Rundstedt, felt that since the 7th Division had the best equipment and the personnel were elites drawn from various units, he should use the 7th Division as an arrow to advance directly into London.

The purpose and strategy of the German army's operation is very simple. After landing, they directly attack London. After capturing the capital of England, all problems will be solved.

Moreover, the Port of Dover is only a little over 100 kilometers away from London.

Based on advancing twenty kilometers per day, it would only take one week to reach the city of London.

London has not been attacked by other countries for hundreds of years. The last time London fell was when the Duke of Normandy conquered England.

Li Xiu got up very early in the morning, standing on the battleship under the rising sun, looking at the battlefield with thick smoke in the distance.

Second Master, the German army suffered heavy losses last night. Not only did they lose dozens of airships, but they also lost more than 800 people on the ground.

But that's not the most embarrassing thing!" Chen Laohu appeared behind Li Xiu like a ghost. "This is embarrassing enough, what's more embarrassing?" Li Xiu was a little confused and turned to look at Chen Laohu.

"Haha! Of course there is something even more embarrassing. There was a scuffle in the sky last night.

The airships were falling one after another, but when I checked this morning, my dear, there are only three British airships.

For the rest, the German airships fought against themselves. After a battle, dozens of airships fell.

I really don’t know how these Germans are able to identify friend or foe." Chen Laohu stroked the railing and looked at the jokes of the British on the shore in the distance.

"We have been using airships for a long time, so we naturally know how to use the identification friend or foe system. The Germans have only been using airships for a few years. How could they know this?

My eldest brother has a far-sighted view of this matter. When we hung lights outside the airship, many people didn't understand it. It meant exposing the target!

But now it seems that this is the best way.

In the dark night, as long as you see the lantern hanging on the side string of the airship, you will know whether it is your own airship.

It's our own airship, so of course everything is fine.

If it's not your own airship, that's easy to handle, just shoot it down.

Li Xiu chuckled lightly. He did not expect that the Germans would make such a serious mistake. However, one learns from every experience. I believe that after such a night, the Germans will soon come up with their own identification of friend or foe.

.

"Report!" the staff officer came over, holding a telegram clip in his hand.

Chen Laohu took it over, took a look at it, and hurriedly handed it to Li Xiu.

"The Germans are going to attack London. Do you want them to go to London in advance and bombard London?" Li Xiu glanced at it and handed the telegram back to the military staff officer.

"Damn it, I'm going to bombard London. I've already blown London to pieces!

Do you still need to wait for you Germans?" Li Xiu impatiently walked into the Jian Bridge with his hands behind his back! "The Germans also requested air support and asked us to send carrier-based aircraft to bomb the British army. But...but...

The British air defense force is still strong, so casualties will inevitably occur!"

After working together for many years, Chen Laohu has evolved into a roundworm in Li Xiu's belly. He can understand what Li Xiu is thinking at a glance.

"We carrier-based aircraft pilots have been trained for many years. The money each of us consumes is worth their weight in gold.

These are the treasures of our naval aviation!

Second Master, you can’t put the country’s most valuable assets in danger just because of a telegram from the German army.” Chen Laohu said sincerely.

"Grandma! We can't let our soldiers serve as artillery fire for the Germans.

Call the Germans back, our fleet is low on supplies and needs immediate rest.

Let's go back to Porto to see how the Germans killed the British.

If a dog bites a dog, let them bite it. It would be better to kill a few more!

Send the notice, weigh anchor, and let's go back to Porto. Let the Germans have their own fun here.
Chapter completed!
