Volume VI: Doomsday Chapter 116: Changes in Asia (4)
The second empire said that under the Beijing agreement, Li Wan's army troops officially attacked London after three days of artillery shelling. The occupation operation broke out under the resistance of British militia who shouted "Swear to die, resist.
The Axis powers advanced very smoothly in the early stage. They occupied London's area near the Thames Canal and the periphery of the city of London in less than two hours, and only encountered sporadic resistance during this period. The smooth attack made the offensive troops underestimate the determination of London citizens to resist. Some commanders even made "but this" evaluation, and the officer who made this evaluation the next moment slapped himself twice.
The British government had long known that the Axis Congress occupied London with great political significance at all costs. For this reason, they did their best to Wulai London citizens and publicize: "Those barbarians will be a disaster when they enter the city. In order to retaliate against Britain, they will definitely massacre the citizens of the capital London like the Japanese!"
The government's propaganda scared the citizens of London. They have read newspaper reports or heard the recent government's "temporary cramming". They all have a deep understanding of the whole story of the Nanjing Massacre. Most of them believe that Japan has had a precedent in the Nanjing Massacre, and no one can guarantee that the Axis of the Fascist political tendencies will learn from the Japanese. The Japanese have also come to the London Massacre.
After the Axis powers launched an attack, the British army immediately gave up the periphery of the city. London citizens who were temporarily armed and who might not have been professionally trained also retreated with the regular army. While waiting for the Axis power troops to start advancing into the city, they avoided the ruins of the buildings and watched the Axis power march proudly. At that time, there was no idea who fired the first shot. The city of London, which had a pause, then even more intense gunfire and explosions rang out.
The remaining Allied forces and temporarily armed London citizens started street fighting with the familiarity of the terrain. They didn't know if they were illusions? With a series of firefights, they unexpectedly discovered that the Axis powers' army was not that scary. This discovery made those who were originally afraid of being alive and alive a little stronger. However, after waiting for prisoners, after torture, they finally knew what the Axis power's troops thought would be so easy to fight. It turned out that the first thing that advanced to central London was not the German Third Reich army. It was the Spanish, Italian, Portugal and other armies among the Axis powers.
In fact, the Third German Empire had long realized that the City of London would not be so easy to capture. Although the Third German Empire had no experience of fierce street fighting so far, it was not difficult to judge how difficult it would be to fight a city that was planning to resist to the death. After careful calculations, the troops of the servants in the formation were used as stepping stones by the German General Staff to test the degree of resistance in London. The situation of the war also confirmed the previous speculation that the damn Lun scholars were really fighting for their lives to resist.
The unsuccessful first wave of attacks quickly retreated. The defeated Axis soldiers were obviously in a trance. The large number of casualties made the officers of Italy, Spain, etc. who wanted to compete for their merits pale.
"Your Excellency! We strongly demand that the artillery forces carry out devastating blows on those damn buildings."
The resisters hiding from the ruins of the buildings obviously gave these officers a deep impression that the attacking troops must have to move along the road, but they were always shot from the dark along the way. They took a lot of effort to clear a small area, and sometimes it had been cleared, but they were immediately occupied when the troops were transferred. The area reported to be cleaned up was attacked again, and the Axial Officer, who had encountered this type of combat for the first time, obviously felt unable to adapt, and heavy casualties became inevitable.
"Please mark the area on the map."
The officers gritted their teeth and marked the area, and watched with their own eyes the officers of the Third Reich contacted the artillery and the air force. The officers who had confirmed that they had supported ran back to command the troops fiercely, vowing to give the British a mysterious religion!
The military qualities of the Third Reich in Germany were world-famous, and orders were issued soon. The artillery troops first carried out a cover artillery bombardment to the marked area. The rumbling artillery fire made the soldiers of the Axis powers cheer.
When the Butan and Tan advance together, the soldiers, as the protruding unit of the entire army, clearly felt that the enemy's resistance was not so fierce, which made them feel relieved. The second batch of troops were also very happy to receive the news that the front report "clearing the enemy", but when they stepped into the battlefield something incredible happened. The so-called "clearing" was simply nonsense, and they were still being shot by the enemy as always.
Throughout the day, the enemy and us in London reached a real intertwined big teeth, and the special fighting method completely overturned all previous military concepts.
In the city of London, full of firefighting scenes, it is difficult to achieve a large-scale advancement on the battlefield where big teeth are intertwined. The battlefield no longer has the so-called frontline and rear, and there are frontlines everywhere everywhere. The fact is that this area is occupied by the Axis powers, the outer periphery is controlled by the Allies, and the outer periphery of the Allies is occupied by the Axis powers. Sometimes, the previous one: the next control of the Pinyu Xinguo immediately becomes the control of the Allies. London becomes; the cake of the ritual is cut into pieces, which is a situation that no one expected in advance.
As the development of the battle situation was beyond the expectations, the highest commander of the Axis powers attacking London, Longdestedt, asked the "Eagle's Nest" for instructions, and then ordered the troops that had entered the London battlefield to stop the attack and wait for the subsequent troops.
On the other hand, Longdstedt learned the teachings of "staying in Dunkirk" and ordered the armed SS 4th Police Division, the Fifth Viking Division, the 16th Infantry Division of the National Welfare Army, and the 27th Infantry Division to enter the battlefield through the night. These four full-scale divisions needed to cooperate with previous troops to clear out the enemy troops in the existing area.
"The Second Imperial Armored Division of the SS, the Third Skeleton Armored Division, the Seventh Armored Division of the National Defense, and the Twelfth Armored Division, ordered them to be prepared for advancement. I need to contact the Head of State in person immediately."
Longdestedt had a pound of "bad" records. He originally thought that his military career was about to come to an end, but after Kahn-vn-Stark came to power, he was very grateful.
This time, under the direct name of the head of state, Longdestedt became the commander of the conquering the London Shiwan troops. How could he not be trembling with the commander and secretly grateful to the head of state?
The times are progressing, and the developed communication technology has allowed Longdested to contact the head of state quickly. It is necessary for him to report to the head of state the daytime attack from the commander's perspective, indicating that the fierce resistance in London has caused the war to be out of control. He said: "My head of state, we originally wanted to siege London for a long time, but the participation of the United States in the war has changed us.
Since we have never experienced such wars in London, our soldiers were unable to adapt in a short period of time. We had previously expected to occupy the city of London in a week (including three days of shelling). Now we have to take a new look at London's resistance."
Xu Yang, who was far away in the Alps, was hindered by other events, but it did not mean that he even lost his basic judgment ability. He was silent for a moment: "My general, it is precisely because of the sudden participation of the United States in the war that we must quickly take down London, which is a very political symbol. This is not simply to hit the morale of the allies, but to cause the fact of occupation. Occupy London will make the Americans dare not join the war in Europe so quickly. All they can do is to compete with the Japanese for the Pacific!"
Ronderstedt is not stupid, and the political significance of occupying London is understandable. He hesitated to explain the difficulties: "My Head of State
The news of the defeat of the offensive made Xu Yang even more irritable. He interrupted directly: "Just like taking the Thames Canal is equivalent to controlling London, we will completely control England and cut off the bridge between Britain and our country. Occupy it is very helpful for further occupying Wales offensive. With it, it is equivalent to taking England and Wales. In terms of strategy, my general, there is no need for any unnecessary explanation. I personally believe that you can complete the historical mission entrusted to you by the nation and the empire, and you must complete it!"
"Yes! My Head of State! Little, Longdestedt added nervously: "On the basis of the existing troops, please be sure to support two more Stuka squadrons?"
After a brief silence, Xu Yang's voice was very low: "Our air force is putting pressure on the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, which is the guarantee of the maritime transportation line!" Just when Longdstedt was extremely disappointed, Xu Yang was a little helpless: "Okay! I will ask Kesseling (General of the Air Force of the Third Reich of Germany) to draw two new Stuka bombers to plan to the "London Front". I must tell you, my general, I hope this is the last time you ask me for reinforcements! Do you understand?"
This gurgling Stuka Longdstedt could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He cheered quietly and then promised: "I understand! For the sake of "Barbarossa, Jili's implementation, I will cooperate with all the actions of His Excellency Marshal Brausic!"
"Very good! But" Xu Yang roared: "I don't want to hear anyone mention "Barbarossa, these words" on the telegram, phone, or even under any non-confidential measures.
I don't know if it was scared or yelled, Longdestedt said hurriedly, "The cannon sound is too loud, and I then fell into a busy voice for the phone.
After closing the line, Xu Yang turned around and looked at Yodel. He could look at Yodel's face full of confusion and surprise. He looked at the assistant girls in the head of state's office, whose expressions and movements were unnatural. He knew that his irritability made many people feel uneasy.
Xu Yang secretly cursed: "Damn emergencies, damn British guy, damn two letters." Cursing all the people and things that can be cursed, he looked at Yodel in a depressing manner.
