Chapter 774: Cannon fodder on the line of defense 4)

"The Germans stopped." At this time, on the other side of the anti-tank trenches, the officers in the command were under the greatest pressure at this time.

The calmly flowing River Thames divides London into two, which also gives them great convenience. For example, they have been digging trenches desperately in the past few days, mobilizing the people of London to come to support them, and finally dug out a wonderful anti-tank trenches.

This anti-tank trench was Pareci Hobert's proposal, and at this time, he was also the person in charge of defending London.

It can be said that this is not a good errand.

The strength of the German tank troops is obvious to everyone. Who can stop the attack of the German tanks? No one dares to pat his chest and say that he is sure.

If the Germans did not log in, the British could still make a few more troubles. Now that the Germans have landed, the powerful German legion has come up. In this case, the outcome of the British will be obvious.

Hobert has always been excluded in the British army. He proposed the application plan of the tank and was despised by a group of old antiques. Now, facts have proved that his proposal is correct, but he is still the foresighted prophet who is almost tied to pillars and burned to death.

However, Churchill activated him, even if Churchill was not satisfied with Hobert, but at this time, what Britain needed was a commander who could fight, especially those who were familiar with tank tactics.

From this perspective, it is absolutely correct to use Hobert. After all, the founders of the German Blitzkrieg are all students of Hobert. Although Hobert was re-activated, the stage left for Hobert to play is very small.

The new armored division is under training, and the new tank they need that can compete with the German Black Panther 3 tank is still far away. Moreover, now, the Germans are about to fight to London, the British capital!

In this case, Hobert was actually expected and became the leader of the London defenders. At the meeting, the senior officials of various armies almost praised Hobert. Now, only those who are most familiar with tank tactics can lead everyone and win this counterattack tank battle!

These statements made Hobert unable to refuse at all, so he became the commander of the defenders here.

But Hobert knew that those people didn't want to be commanders because they wanted to evacuate at any time when they needed it!

His Majesty the King had already left overnight, and all the royal members had left. I heard that the next step was Churchill and others. When Churchill left, the senior officials of the army followed.

And I, as the commander of the London defender, could not leave, either win or die in battle.

As an older officer, Hobert has figured it out that life and death are just that, and now, all he needs is to defend his position.

On the day the Germans arrived, Hobert visited the front line from the command center in London. Now, the commander of the troops here, Harold Alexander, was the commander of the newly formed British First Army.

The entire First Army, with a population of up to 200,000, is now distributed on the defense line in southwest London. Their mission is to firmly protect the front line here.

Of course, to put it more clearly, they are just cannon fodder.

Once the Germans launch an attack, they will definitely follow an unbearable round of artillery fire. The Germans' firepower is quite dense, not to mention that the sky is still owned by the Germans.

As Germany landed in Plymouth, the German air force was also constantly reversing. So far, Germany has transferred more than 800 fighter jets to the UK, which firmly guarded the air supremacy of the battlefield.

Every time the British Spitfire took off, they suffered heavy losses. Although they were unwilling to give up, they could only watch the air supremacy on the battlefield and fell into Germany little by little.

Those second-tier stukas, hs129, can shuttle back and forth, constantly eliminating targets on the ground.

Seeing that the German tanks were about to attack, and now, the anti-tank trench built by Hobert was the one who led the way, played a very effective role!

It is impossible for German tanks to cross the trenches!

Now, it is mainly time-consuming, which is beneficial to the UK. When the US support arrives, they don’t have to shrink so much. I heard that the tanks supported by the Americans have already sailed on the Atlantic Ocean and will soon arrive in the UK!

When there are tanks, Britain can fight a counterattack locally, or even drive the Germans away from their own territory.

"We should not be lucky, either." Hobert said: "Our trenches can only delay the actions of the Germans, but cannot completely stop them. The Germans will definitely try their best to attack us. We must be prepared at any time. Once the battle begins, it will inevitably be an extremely tragic battle."

This is a national war, and in such a war, the possibility of soldiers who went to the battlefield at the beginning was very small. Now, the opposite is the Germans. It can be said that the German attack will begin soon, and it must be extremely fierce, and there will be heavy casualties on our side.

Faith, at this time, firm belief is the most important.

In the dark night sky, there are stars and a waning moon shining on the earth.

Suddenly, the sound of a tweeter sounded opposite.

"Listen to the soldiers on the other side, don't work hard for the Windsor family anymore! Now that you are fighting bloody, your king has already shamelessly fled London. He has given up his former oath and abandoned you!"

In the darkness, everything is silent, and the sound opposite is so clear.

"What, the king has left London? At that time, the king once said that he would live and die with London!" Suddenly, someone here screamed.

"There is no way out to resist stubbornly. Look at France and Poland. You should know that the stubborn Poland no longer exists. France that obeys Germany still exists. For Britain, surrender is the best choice!"

"Think about it, what harm does your surrender do to you? The living standards of our people under Germany are higher, and the lives of people in France are also greatly improved! Only the ruling class of the country will refuse to surrender. Once they surrender, they will not be able to enjoy all the privileges they are now!"

"Wake up, put down your weapons and come here. There is a better life here, waiting for you!"

The sound was very loud, definitely a super tweeter, and it even floated back for several kilometers. The command center here could hear it clearly.

Suddenly, the expression on Hobert's face became serious: "Harold, immediately arrange a supervisory team and patrol the front line. If someone shakes the morale of the army, he will be shot on the spot!"
