Jagged Germany

Chapter 795: I can't stop it (ask for a monthly ticket)

   "General, the 8th Infantry Division reported that they were attacked by German armored units. The frontline troops suffered heavy losses and were about to be overwhelmed." A staff officer reported to Admiral Haig.

   "Armored troops?" The expression on Admiral Haig's face became serious.

   On the French battlefield, he has seen how powerful the German armored forces are. Under the impact of those tanks, the solid defense line of the British and French allied forces would be easily broken through. Now, the German army has directly used armored forces to participate in the offensive, which undoubtedly means that the German army has moved for real.

   "Let the 8th Infantry Division hold out for an hour no matter what. In addition, dispatch the 10th Infantry Division to immediately reinforce the 8th Infantry Division." Admiral Haig ordered.

  He knows very well that the strength of an infantry division of the British army is simply impossible to withstand an armored division of the German army. Even two infantry divisions are enough. Now he only hoped that the British infantry would hold on and give him more time to mobilize troops.

   "Yes, General." The staff officer immediately went to send a telegram.

   "Send a telegram to the theater command, we urgently need tank reinforcements! Request tank troops to fight against the Germans!" Admiral Haig immediately issued an order.

   "Yes, General." Immediately someone called the theater command.

  At the request of Admiral Hamilton, the tank force of the British Army sent more than half of its troops to Canterbury in order to deal with the powerful German armored forces. Although, the tanks equipped by the British Army are much inferior to those equipped by the German Army. But after improvement, the performance is pretty good. At least, the problem has been solved.

   Canterbury, British Continental Army South East Theater Command. Admiral Hamilton frowned tightly.

"The general, the 1st Army and the 2nd Army, have already sent a telegram asking for help. They have been attacked by the German army and need reinforcements urgently. In particular, the German army has used more than 500 tanks on the two battlefields. The troops at the front were under extreme pressure," a major general reported.

   "Damn the Germans, have they invested in the main force from the beginning?" Admiral Hamilton couldn't help cursing.

  The German Army Air Force has just solved the Royal Air Force, and now it has invested the main force to launch an offensive. Obviously, the Germans had already planned this attack for a long time.

   "General, Admiral Haig and Major General Benson all hope that we can send tanks to fight. Otherwise, the front line of defense will soon be penetrated by the Germans." The major general continued.

Admiral Hamilton shook his head: "If we have invested in tank troops from the beginning, what should we do when we counterattack? Tell General Haig and General Benson to let them stop the Germans with fortifications and anti-tank weapons as much as possible." And, try to eliminate the German tanks as much as possible. Our tanks are not many, and we must save them for the most critical time before they can be used!"

   According to General Hamilton, now is not the time to use tanks. Before the German army landed on the British mainland, the United Kingdom used all its production capacity, and only produced a thousand tanks. This tank, similar to the French Renault tank, can be regarded as a joint development between Britain and France. It's just that France has surrendered now, so only the UK produces it.

  After evaluation, British military experts believe that the performance of the tank they produced named "Hound Dog" is equivalent to that of the tank equipped by the German Army. However, the limited quantity and the lack of various materials have greatly restricted the follow-up production plan. Therefore, the generals of the British Army can only save a little. If it is lost, it will be difficult to get it back. Therefore, Admiral Hamilton regarded these tanks as treasures.

   When Hamilton believed that tanks could be used, it was when the British army had consumed a large amount of the German army's active force and launched a counterattack. At that time, the powerful assault force of the tank can be fully displayed. The British army can seize such an opportunity to smash the last resistance of the German army in one fell swoop and win the battle.

   It's a pity that General Hamilton didn't seem to think that if the British army could not withstand the German attack and lead to a complete defeat. He left the tank there like a baby, and it was useless.

   "Yes, General." The major general nodded, and then conveyed Admiral Hamilton's order to the front line.

   "Asshole! That guy Hamilton, does he want our soldiers to launch a suicide attack on the German tanks?" Admiral Haig immediately cursed after receiving Admiral Hamilton's reply.

  In Admiral Haig’s view, such an order issued by Admiral Hamilton was simply a trap in his head.

   "General, what should we do now?"

   "What else can we do? Since Hamilton wants us to fight to the end, that's the only way to go. Give the frontline troops an order to fight to the death!" Admiral Haig ordered.

   "Yes, General!" A trace of despair flashed in the officer's eyes. He knew that after such an order was issued, the casualties of the troops on the front line would definitely be very heavy. However, after Admiral Hamilton, the commander, has already issued such an order, do they have other options?

  On the frontline battlefield, German tanks are rampaging.

  Although, the British anti-tank weapons destroyed some German tanks. However, for the steel torrent formed by the German army with a large number of tanks, such losses are nothing at all.

  The tracks of the tank overwhelmed the barbed wire fence in front of the British army's position, and at the same time were crushed, as well as the bodies of those British soldiers.

"Da da da!"

  A heavy machine gun of the British army was firing crazily, and the dense bullets hit the armor of the tank, making a clanging sound. But, other than knocking some paint off, there's really no effect at all.

   "Boom!"

  The tank's 37mm tank gun fired, and a high-explosive shell accurately hit the heavy machine gun, blowing the heavy machine gun apart.

  Some brave British soldiers rushed towards the German tanks with cluster grenades or explosives. However, what greeted them was the intensive firepower of the tanks. Many people were beaten into sieves before they rushed to the front of the tank.

   Only a very small number of people can succeed in blowing up the German tanks.

  When more and more tanks rushed to the welcoming position, the 8th Infantry Division and the 10th Infantry Division, which was later reinforced, could no longer resist. Countless British soldiers fled in embarrassment, causing the entire front to be defeated.
