However, just when the British thought they were about to escape, they were welcoming the German firepower like a storm! At the corner of the L-shaped section, what was waiting for them were three 40mm rapid-fire cannons, four mortars and more than a dozen machine guns! Originally, if these weapons were distributed in the narrow ambush areas on both sides, their lethality was very limited, but when they were concentrated in a small area and faced them head-on, the fierce firepower instantly turned the entire British convoy into several sections!

Fire dragons were walking freely in the British convoy, with violent explosions one after another, and flames soaring into the sky to turn the night into day. Under the firelight, you can see groups of British troops jumping out of the car in horror and trying to rely on the roadbed for cover. However, what awaits them were bullets as dense as locusts and anti-infantry mines buried on both sides of the roadbed. Although the British tried to resist, the battle has basically ended. On the front road, the wreckage of British vehicles and the fierce firepower of the Germans made this road a passage to the underworld. If you want to retreat, you will be blocked by your own vehicles. More than 90% of the British people didn't know what to do, but a small group of people bravely broke into the night from the side and slipped through the gaps of the German encirclement net.

"The Germans' ambush was very good. Their numbers were not large and their heavy firepower was limited. If we were to fight according to the normal layout, they could not beat us at all. However, the opponent took advantage of our eagerness to escape and cut off the tail, making us unable to retreat, but did not cut off the head immediately, because this would make us fight to the death and break through to both sides. The Germans were very weak. They could not stop us from breaking through or defeat us, so they used the terrain to design an ambush circle in front. When our leading vehicles passed, when we thought it was safe, they caught us off guard. The other party did a good job in both the overall layout, the fire distribution and the minefield. However, the reason why I was able to run out was largely due to luck. I felt that the barrage on the side was too thin, and then I took people out." After the war, Montgomery recalled the scene at that time.

Of course, this battle was just a small episode on the entire battlefield. What is really important is that after the German army broke through on a large scale from the front and formed an encirclement of the Hamilton Army, the Schmidt battle group, which had already entered the rear of the French army, suddenly headed north at night and successfully blocked the last gap. In one night, the two German troops cooperated with each other to completely complete the encirclement of the Hamilton Army. If the calculation starts from the first German tank crossing the trench, it will only take 18 hours!

"The British are dead, maybe they will surrender tomorrow. The Germans say that they can solve the problem in three days. It seems that it is not a boast." Betton looked at the information sent to him and said, of course, the so-called solution does not mean that the entire 240,000 British troops were killed or captured. In fact, in such a hurry, if the British army scattered and broke through, it would definitely be possible to run out part of it, and perhaps the number of people could exceed 2 divisions. But they have been broken up and almost all of their heavy equipment has been lost. In this case, the army has no combat power and can naturally be considered annihilated.

Of course, there are many conditions for the Germans to be able to act so smoothly this time, such as the full cooperation of the French army, the British strategic misjudgment, and the German army's quick fight in a completely field environment. This tactic made the British very uncomfortable. To be honest, even in Turkey, the French fast troops' combat effectiveness was higher than that of the British. At least Xiafei could compete with the Bavarian Legion at the beginning, and the British armored troops were still worse than the French, and the same was true for tactics. Of course, the British infantry were stronger.

"So what do you think the Germans will do next?" asked Marshal Foch.

"They will leave some force to kill the Hamilton Army, and the main force will go north, cross the passage we left with the other four German armies, and then detour to the rear of the British positions, and then launch a centripetal assault, just like the Bavarian Legion killed millions of Russian troops in the Polish pocket. Then, the ground war part of the war ended." Betton sighed and said.

"Yes, it's over. We have used up the wealth accumulated by France for decades, but the population and army have not received any compensation. The war has no meaning." Marshal Foch said.

"At least we understand one thing." Beidang said expressionlessly.

"What's the matter?" Marshal Foch asked curiously.

"If one day the entire European continent is covered by war again, we will at least not be the enemy of Germany. The German army is too strong. France and Germany are next to each other..." Betan left the house without waiting for Foch to speak again.

"That's probably what the so-called despair means." Foxu sighed and said.

At the same time, in the German Western Front General Command, Ruprecht and his generals were also busy, but their busyness now had little to do with the Hamilton Army, because it was destined to be a dead fish... It was enough to give Crook a group of troops. Now, except for a small number of troops that were still used to guard the French, the remaining two and a half armies would be ready to go north. They would cooperate with the long-dormand Army A, and then follow the gap opened by the French, and encircle and annihilate the entire British expeditionary force in one fell swoop! This would be a great battle that is enough to remember history and the world, because it would be the biggest loss in the history of the British Army! This battle alone caused more than 7 figures of casualties and captured people!

"Your Highness, the Army Group A has been prepared. We can attack at any time, without even waiting for the Air Force Group to move northward. Our army can complete the task by relying on our own strength." Xiao Moltke said.

"I believe that the main force of the Group A and B Army can complete this task, and I also believe that relying on the German army to siege the British army without the defense can win. But one thing is that the army cannot do, that is, what if the British army chooses to evacuate from the sea? Do you want to use a large number of heavy artillery to advance to the sea to attack the British transport ships in the English Channel? The significance of the Air Force lies in the blockade of the English Channel, which cannot be done simply by relying on the Army." Ruprecht said.
