Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 52: Paper-lined defense line (5)

The Messerschmitt reconnaissance plane, annoyed by the ugliness of the British army underneath, swung its wings and turned inland. Flying across a towering forest belt, the eyes were suddenly bright and the countryside was idyllic. Due to its proximity to the strait, the terrain is flat, large grasslands and wheat fields, solitary trees and bushes are scattered among the gentle slopes, one or two wooden houses and a mill with a huge waterwheel are small among the rice fields. Standing by the lake, the river gurgling and flowing, the gray bark roof, and the brick chimney in the eaves of the wooden house are still emitting smoke, and the whole picture is fresh and natural, which is pleasing to the eye.

Then the two Germans saw the ditch, the huge ditch. . Then came the british British soldiers who were looting over the ground. The anti-tank trench in front of us is almost finished. It is more than five meters wide and four meters deep. The excavated soil piled up on the side facing away from the strait to form a man-made steep dam. It stretches for a few kilometers, and is obviously ready to continue to extend forward.

Before waiting for the pilots to express their admiration for this magnificent construction project, the German reconnaissance aircraft suffered a storm-like attack. The attack came from an infantry position at the forefront of the anti-tank trench, but it was not the army soldiers who fired, but a riotous crowd of people.

The British National Guard has now swelled into a behemoth, and the total number of people has exceeded the sum of the current British regular armed forces. In the age of peace, this is totally unacceptable to the government. It can be seen that these armed forces are composed of rural civilians, with their own supplies and spontaneous management, and they have very free autonomy, just like the militia and rangers in the United States. Once something changes, it can be replaced.

One and a half million people are a force that cannot be ignored in any country in Europe. The British government can ignore its expansion and continue to promote and arm them. The reason is that the British government is well aware of the weakness of this team.

If you leave the coordination of the government, these people are completely scattered. The cardinality looks really huge, but in fact it is divided into tens of thousands of teams. Although they all have the name of XX and XX battalions, in fact, the largest team is only more than 200 people. The small team consists of more than a dozen village husbands. If such an armed force does not have the unified organization and command of professional soldiers, it will be a group of people. Once there is a problem, they can eliminate each other with a single command, and there will be no big waves at all.

Most of these people knew nothing about the war. Many people never touched their weapons. What supported them was the British national pride and so-called patriotic sentiment. More is the fear of the destruction of the existing rhythm of life. Fear of invaders. People have inertia, especially the British, inertia has been carved into their bones. They are used to arranging their lives in an orderly manner according to the schedule, and live a stable and peaceful day according to the schedule every day. Of course they also like to accept new things, but they must build on the basis that the gadget will not affect his rhythm. On the other hand, any change is dangerous and reckless. Anything new unless it has become fashionable. Otherwise, it must be strictly demonstrated, if it is unclear. Then wait and see, wait and see if there are any problems with the neighbor's idiot. If the guy doesn't hang up, I will buy one.

The British are gossip animals and are passionate about interpersonal communication, but the communication circle is very fixed. Outsiders want to join. Unless there is a guarantee from the insider or this person already has a certain popularity, otherwise they have to go through a very long inspection period. Once the social circle is destroyed or disintegrated, it is the end of the world for the British.

Citizens of the British Empire are proud. The unprecedented unprecedented empire has dominated the global dominance. The Navy overturned the Netherlands and Spain. The Army conquered Germany and France. After the Industrial Revolution, it led the world’s technological trends for decades. The literary and artistic background is full. Although he lost his hand once in the United States and lost his face once in South Africa, he still found his face back in the end. The brand of British Empire citizen is still very popular outside, even if it is a London gangster, in the Far East, he can run wild on the beach. Therefore, any act that challenges the pride of the British and intends to smash the gold signboard of the British Empire, the British will fight back at all costs.

And now, the murderous Germans have tied together the things that the British hate most.

Britain was once disgraced by the Great Depression, but for the British in the countryside, the overall impact is not great. Twenty years of peaceful and quiet days have allowed them to develop enough inertia. The news of the German invasion this time completely disrupted this peaceful rhythm of life.

Various publicity brochures were issued in the government, urban relatives brought their families to the country and ran back to the country to bring various true and false gossips, the radio station laughed and scolded the smallpox, and the country tabloids were full of grotesque gossip. The head of state is a fallen angel. The German soldiers are bloodthirsty monsters. The German soldiers burned and looted, the pits were captured and killed, the German tank armor was strong, the German artillery went down, and the decay was tens of miles. Mi Fan Yun Yun.

The villagers were excited, sitting around the tavern every day and talking. For example, "How can I survive this day? It doesn't matter if the Germans go to London to burn and rob, but running to my village affects me to drink afternoon tea by the river every day. How can I bear it! This must definitely be fight with the Germans. . Jack and Annie in the village have joined the air force, and now the three gangs are only left by me. They are all murdered by the Germans. The master and you are dead! The newspaper said that the British empire raised us and other squires for many years. The Day of the Dead is just today, and I think it makes sense. Tomorrow I will go to Glasgow to buy tickets for the United States and go there to call prostitutes... Calling 100,000 British expatriates to form a volunteer army to return to King Qin..." Almost this meaning.

Churchill’s self-defense force convening order was like a timely rain under Jiaoyang, which gave the group of at-a-glance villagers and local gentry a goal. That night, the British villagers of all sizes on the ground of England ran with torches and ran on the road in the rural village of Toutou. Shouting, like the holiday, the German devils are coming, and the folks took up arms to fight with the devils. . . . In more than a month, the 1.5 million self-defense forces mobilized. It can be called a model in the history of British mobilization.

In front of various ferocious weapons of the German army, it is useless to simply rely on more people. Let this group of villagers rush up like this, at most the Germans can pull the trigger to pull out the tenosynovitis. Therefore, the first thing to do is to arm them and give them the necessary training and appropriate tactics. The British government positioned this team as an auxiliary force to cooperate with the regular army, delaying the German movement, and consuming the German forces. Disturb the rhythm of the German attack. The private expectation is that these people can cause countless troubles for the Germans, and it is best to allow the Germans to shed enough blood. Eventually, the Germans were forced to sign a truce that could be seen in the past.

The British government knows that unless it can stop the Germans from going ashore, once this group of beasts set foot on British territory, they rely on the defensive power currently available on the British soil. There is no hope at all to win. The defeat is inevitable, and it is not so ugly to pursue the loss. Churchill had also been aware of this for a long time. He did not expect the Army to be able to guard the city of London. He planned to stay in the semi-underground command bunker on Downing Street until the German soldiers rushed in. He asked his bodyguard to give him at the last minute. A 11.23mm pistol bullet came on his head. This is a proud person. Like Hitler, he would never allow himself to fall into the hands of the enemy.

The original government in exile was also an option. But because the reserve funds were robbed by the Germans, how miserable was a government in exile with no money. The British have seen too much. Once upon a time, Britain was the preferred destination for the exile governments of the extinct countries. If there were no such exile government, the exiled princes, the exiled royal Britain, would have been able to stir up shit. Now that it’s Britain’s turn to go into exile, it really has to be considered and considered. Because they have no money, they are sent under the fence, they are weak and strong, if the Germans support a pro-German government, the minute of exile will be a tragedy. What's more, the British can finally play a family card, which is a big deal for the royal family to kneel. After all, Windsor was named Weiting.

The big brothers in the government have their own abacus, Churchill is very clear, but he must stand on the side of public opinion, plus the dissatisfaction in his character, he will never allow such a thing to happen without a fight. Churchill must have a long history.

Although the Army’s weapons were not enough, Churchill still managed to remove a batch of old rifles that were replaced and sealed, but after all, the base was too horrible, and these rifles could not be thrown down, and even the splash could not be raised. Finally, after this team was fully armed, Four of them took cold weapons, and half of these cold weapons should actually be classified as agricultural tools.

In more than a month, various rural workshops began to manufacture all kinds of earth guns and cannons madly. The craftsmanship of the British blacksmiths is world-renowned. If the materials are sufficient, they can knock out a Mackenzie by hand. Various inventors in the country have also opened their minds, and weird weapons have been designed in an endless stream. It is not clear whether they are easy to use or not. Anyway, it is not their own use.

The English squires are the best-armed people in the Self-Defense Forces. Most of them have long family pedigrees. Many of them have knighthoods, have fields and factories, have various businesses, have fixed incomes, and are completely used. Not worried about livelihood, so most of them have a hobby of hunting.

The British gentleman was too fond of hunting. Recalling the glorious years, the British hunters killed the whole world. The British were alive to kill the inundated Indian tiger into a rare animal, and other extinct rare birds and animals. White rhinos and lions and African elephants on the African grasslands are their favorite. The British have always advertised that Chinese people like to use rhino horns to cure diseases, but no African rhino died in the hands of the Chinese. The rhinos that died in the hands of British hunters could not be counted. British hunters personally went to Africa to slaughter rhinos. They were not for rhinoceros horns. They cut off the entire rhinoceros head to make specimens to hang on the wall to show off, or to make specimens. Sold to other local tyrants hanging on the wall to show off. The lion, the elephant, the bison and the antelope, they also make a difference when they encounter something.

They are not hunting for life, they are hunting for entertainment and excitement. In order to hunt these beasts, British gunsmiths prepared unparalleled killing weapons for these local tyrants, exquisite big beast rifles, large-caliber shotguns, long-range sniper rifles, single-barreled double-barreled, pumped bolted, Lever crankshafts are expensive and dangerous crafts.

Now, Sergeant Hans' bf110 reconnaissance machine is shooting at a speed of dozens of such crafts. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and faster!
