: 0.077s Scan: 0.025sThere is a protruding mountain in the southeastern part of Manchester.
Usually, there are few people here, and almost no one will come here. But at this time, there is an ambush of a fully armed army. They have stopped their attacks and quietly hidden in this mountainous area.
The British army seems to have no defense against this army that appeared in the southeast. One day ago, when the German army attacked Manchester and Liverpool from the north along the seashore, almost all the garrisons here were transferred to the north to resist the German invasion. In other places, the number of British troops left is very small. After all, the main force of the German army has appeared in the west, and there is no need to leave so many people in other places!
If too many troops are wasted in other places, then their defense of the western coastal areas will definitely be very difficult. If they can’t stop the German army because of too few troops, then they may lose two important cities, Manchester and Liverpool!
The British had no idea that the German army’s massive offensive in the west was actually just an artificial illusion, making them think that the focus of the German attack was in the west. In fact, the German army in the east or hidden in the mountainous area of Buxton was the key to this combat operation!
“General, a telegram from headquarters!”
The weather in May is not particularly hot, but there are too many mosquitoes and insects in the mountains, and there are also many snakes. During the march, several soldiers accidentally stepped on snakes and were bitten by snakes!
Fortunately, the German medical soldiers were well prepared. They carried special medicines for detoxification before the march, so these soldiers were basically fine after being injected with snake venom serum in time for detoxification.
But the large number of mosquitoes chasing people and biting people makes people feel very uncomfortable!
Everyone is equal in front of mosquitoes. Not only ordinary soldiers are bitten all over their heads, but even the commander of the Second Army, Model, has several red bumps on his body!
So at this time, he finally waited for the information he had been waiting for for a long time, and Model’s spirit suddenly became excited.
“Oh? What does the intelligence say? Have the British reinforcements arrived?”
“A British army of about 300,000 people arrived in the southern part of Chester, only about 60 kilometers away from us!”
Model quickly found the location of this army on the map. This army’s route was obviously heading north directly to Liverpool.
If they were allowed to enter Liverpool, it would definitely affect the German offensive plan. Therefore, intercepting this army or even eating this army in the wild is a very necessary choice!
“The British are too stingy. Liverpool is such an important city, but they only sent 300,000 people. Are they here to get rid of beggars?”
However, Model was still a little disappointed. The British army dispatched more than one million troops to set up a pocket formation for the British reinforcements from the south, waiting for them to fall into the trap. Unexpectedly, they only had so few people!
300,000 British troops, plus the garrisons stationed in Man and Liverpool, probably add up to less than one million people. This number made Model a little dissatisfied. He felt that the number was too small. If there were 500,000 troops from the south, it would be great!
If the reinforcements from the Five Fog City can be eaten up this time, the defense of the Fog City will be greatly weakened. At that time, there is no need to negotiate with the British. Just send troops to destroy them!
Although he felt very sorry, the fish was hooked after all, and Model did not give up the plan of action!
In the British Army When they arrived in the Chester area, the German army suddenly rushed out from their rear. A large number of tanks rushed out of the mountains and appeared on the plains. Hundreds of Type 3 assault guns began to run and shoot, bombing the British army on the march!
What’s more deadly is that the German Air Force appeared on time above the British army at this time. A large number of bombers lined up in neat rows and began to drop dense bombs!
This was the first time that the German army tried to use the tactic of carpet bombing in an open area. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the strike, the German bombs used were uniformly 500,000 heavy bombs. The B-29 bombers began to drop bombs at intervals of fifty meters, forming a dense net of bombs in the air!
The British soldiers on the ground were shocked. They had never seen such dense bombs!
When they looked at the German bombers dropping overhead… After being hit by the dense bombs, they were already scared out of their wits. They began to run around everywhere, trying their best to escape from the bombing range of the German army!
However, the speed of the plane was much faster than the speed of their two legs, so before they could run far, the bombs dropped from the sky had already landed one after another!
In an instant, the bombs fell to the ground, and the orange-red sparks produced by the explosion were like flowers dotted on the ground. It really looked like a beautiful carpet!
But unfortunately, this magnificent scene can only be appreciated when looking down at the earth from a high altitude, and the people of the British Empire who were running around on the ground and crying for their parents because of the explosion obviously could not appreciate such a beautiful scenery!
At this time, they were either fleeing in an embarrassing manner, or had been swallowed up by the explosion, and some unlucky people were killed by the explosion. The air wave lifted them up and they struggled desperately in the air!
The British army was too desperate!
The enemy suddenly appeared from the air, which made them completely defenseless. Even if they were equipped with a certain number of anti-aircraft guns, they were not enough to deal with so many bombers!
And being unable to resist the threat of these bombers meant that they were bound to be bombed!
And the result of being bombed was like this now. Thousands of British soldiers were buried in the sea of fire in the fierce bombing of the German army. More British soldiers were frightened and fled in all directions by the fear of the bombing. The formation and organization of the British army had been completely disrupted!
In this case, as long as an enemy appeared on the periphery, the British army, which had become a frightened bird, might not have the courage to resist at all, and would directly kneel down and beg for mercy. Their courage had long been frightened!
The British army was unlucky. There were still a large number of German troops guarding them on the periphery. Model had sent out armored forces early to cut off their retreat in the south to prevent them from escaping back to the capital of the sun never sets, the Fog City. As for the north, the Second Army had already built trenches and positions, waiting for their arrival.
Model underestimated the deterrent power of Goering’s air force. He thought that these 300,000 British troops would fight to the death.
Unexpectedly, this British army was blown to pieces by the German bombing and was completely in chaos!
The German army captured a large number of British prisoners of war alive with almost no effort!
The battle lasted less than half an hour, but it took five or six days to capture the prisoners. There was no way. The British army that lost its organization was no different from 300,000 pigs. They ran around everywhere, and the German army could only catch them everywhere!
This result made Model laugh and cry. If he had known this was the case, he would not have asked for the help of the air force. They rushed up and defeated the British army head-on. In that case, the British army would not have run so scattered!
