Section 523 The battle for England is at an impasse

In June of the eighteenth year of the First Century, Germany occupied all of Western Europe. From then on, the entire Atlantic coast from Norway in the north to Spain in the south was controlled by Germany. The British Isles are in trouble. Previously, the British army lost a large amount of weapons and equipment in the Dunkirk retreat, including 2,450 artillery pieces, 6,400 anti-tank guns, 11,000 machine guns, more than 75,000 vehicles, 500,000 tons of military supplies, 224 ships were sunk, and 106 aircraft were shot down. The Air Force has also been greatly weakened, with only a little more than 1,300 combat aircraft remaining. As for the navy, due to the blockade of the German navy and air force, it lost the conditions for cooperation with the French fleet. With the Chinese Volunteer Air Force almost single-handedly turning the tide, the German Wehrmacht finally set foot on British soil, and the thousand-year-old empire of the United Kingdom, which had never set on it, was in danger of national extinction. Bad news once again crossed over the ruined city of London, Singapore, the most important stronghold of the British Empire in the Far East, had announced its surrender.

"The most painful catastrophe in British history, the largest surrender, is in Singapore," British Prime Minister Winston 61 Churchill once said sadly. It took him nine weeks to finally hand over the Lion City, which the British Empire had painstakingly managed, to his original suzerain, the Chinese Democratic Empire, in which the strategic passivity was of course the main reason, but the mistakes in defensive tactics could not be ignored. Britain did not give up on Singapore, but Singapore was still lost after being trapped for a week, and in that respect Blashua was much worse than MacArthur who defended the Philippines.

In order to deal with Red Russia and avoid fighting on two fronts, Sitara needed to win over the British, and once induced it to compromise and surrender, when the "peace proposal" put forward by Germany to the British was repeatedly rejected by the British, Sitara finally made the operational decision to implement the "Sea Lion Plan" against the British. The initial attempt was to force the British Channel across the English Channel with the support of the air force, but due to many insurmountable difficulties in the preparation of ships, logistical supplies, and weather conditions, it was finally decided to force Britain to surrender by air attack alone. The entire Battle of Britain was actually a large-scale air raid and counter-air raid operation in the history of warfare. Sitara had threatened that the key to the air force would be enough to open the door to British defense. As a result, the RAF commander and fighter Hugh. Dowding and German Field Marshal Hermann. Goering began a great battle over Britain

On July 6, the 18th year of the Lunar New Year, Sitara issued a battle plan to Goering, the commander of the Luftwaffe of the Workers' Party.

"Project Sea Lion?" Goering muttered to himself.

"Yes, Commander Goering, I order you to blow up the hateful Britain as soon as possible!"

"Führer Takami. I will do my best! ”

It is not known whether it was deliberately arranged, but on July 8, three days after Goering received his assignment, he was promoted to the rank of Reich Marshal. In this way, the already arrogant Goering became even more arrogant. However, he does have the capital to be proud. At that time, German combat aircraft were far superior to the British, both in quantity and quality. Moreover, since the beginning of the war, the Luftwaffe's successive bombardments have been almost invincible. Göring also finalized the "Day of the Eagle", which was originally celebrated on August 8 and later changed to August 13 due to weather conditions.

In order to carry out air offensive operations, the Luftwaffe concentrated three air groups, with 2,669 combat aircraft and 13 divisions, 168 transport ships, 1,910 barges, 419 tugboats, and 1,600 motor boats. At that time, Britain only had 700 air defense fighters, 200 anti-aircraft guns, and 500 bombers, and was at a disadvantage in terms of troops. The Battle of Britain began over the choppy English Channel, in the ancient land of the British Empire.

The first half of the Battle of Britain was a decent game, with the British narrowly winning on points. However, China sent the Volunteer Air Force to participate in the war very inauthentically, so that the already disheartened Ge Da Fat Man saw what it means to be an air supremacy and what it means to crush superiority.

The Chinese Air Force quickly seized air supremacy, and the focus of the attack was the British Air Force command system, radar stations, airports, aircraft production enterprises and ports, which were characterized by extremely frequent air raids, but the air battles were not very intense, starting from the Chinese Volunteer Air Force to control the British air supremacy, the Chinese and German air forces flew more than 1,000 sorties a day, and carried out uninterrupted and devastating strikes on 1,323 British military targets and infrastructure facilities in the first month of the 19th year of the Taichu Dynasty. The British lost 1,286 aircraft during this period. The pilots were also heavily wounded, the surviving pilots were exhausted after continuous air battles, and most importantly, the Chinese Volunteer Air Force blocked most ports, the British had more and more opportunities to get supplies from overseas, and most of the planes aided by the United States were destroyed in the port docks and warehouses. If the Volunteer Air Force continues to attack, the British Air Force will not be able to support it. At the critical moment, the savior of the British appeared, and Ge Da Fat, who was promoted to the German field marshal, obtained the command of the British landing battle, and he couldn't wait to pick peaches when he thought that the British Royal Air Force was already a dead dog, and the Volunteer Air Force was sent to North Africa in accordance with the agreement to assist the Italian "Genoa" armored army that was chased by thousands of Australian light infantry all over the world, and sure enough, within a week, the Volunteer Air Force easily taught the British Royal Air Force a lesson in North Africa, and the sky in North Africa has been much cleaner since then. The British, Australians, New Zealanders, and Indians have one more skill, and when they hear the engine in the air, they lie down in concealment, and the Iron Cross and the Black Hawk are flying in the sky anyway.

After the Germans took over, although several large cities such as London, Coventry, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and Plymouth were immersed in a sea of fire and suffered serious losses. However, the British Army, which was the living force of the war, survived and quickly regained its combat effectiveness, inflicting heavy losses on the German army and defending half of Britain. When General Brauchitsch, Chief of the Army General Staff, united the commanders of the three army groups in Britain, including Evanel Rommel, a new general, to the Eagle's Nest to complain to Sitara about the wrong decision of his close comrade-in-arms Goering, the German army, which was not supported by the air force, suffered heavy casualties under the constant harassment and resistance of the British, and the strength of several armored divisions was also damaged to varying degrees, and it was no longer able to sweep north into the British Isles.

In the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe flew more than 46,000 sorties, dropped more than 70,000 tons of bombs on Britain, and lost more than 1,500 aircraft. The British Air Force lost 2,315 aircraft, killed and injured more than 86,000 residents, damaged more than 1 million buildings, destroyed many cities, and made great sacrifices to the British people. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, when praising the high morale and fearlessness of the British military and civilians, once said with emotion: "With their own toil, tears, blood and sweat, they have smashed Sitara's arrogant attempt to force Britain out of the war." The Luftwaffe never opened the door to British defense. In fact, in the first 18 years of the Taichu Dynasty, the United States had already begun to provide Britain with a large amount of military assistance in a civilian way, including thousands of American pilots who were trained in Canada to form fighter flying teams in the United Kingdom, as well as tanks, artillery and various firearms to assist Britain, which was even much larger than the amount of equipment of the American army itself.

In fact, in the later stages of the Battle of Britain, Sitara also saw that the Luftwaffe bombing effect was getting smaller and smaller, and the losses were getting bigger and bigger, and the hope of conquering Britain was slim. Britain's narrow territory made it impossible for the rapid penetration of German armored clusters, and in the face of thousands of anti-aircraft guns and the trench defense system built by British tanks, the German army's best offensive could not be carried out, but it was limited by maritime capabilities, unable to support the supply of ammunition and materials for large-scale and sustained attacks.

The German army is now riding a tiger and it is difficult to ride, if the British give up their foothold, the British will not accept the good thing, and the United Kingdom, which is gradually recovering with the assistance of the United States, will certainly not let go like a soft-shelled turtle biting the German little tintin, and Germany's military strength is pinned down on the Western Front, if it takes a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that the polar bear that has already suffered in the Russian-Finnish war will not directly attack the eastern part of Germany. You must know that at this time, Red Russia had been regarded as a life-saving straw by Britain and the United States, and any ideological struggle and class struggle had become floating clouds. British Prime Minister Qiu Fat Man is almost resident in Moscow, although the British mainland has fallen to a third, but Britain has colonies, counting Australia, New Zealand and Canada, the British Empire is far from the situation of extinction, Qiu Fatzi with cards in his hand is extremely disgusted with the bearded man, but the politician himself is the best actor, even if Uncle Georgia has two horns on his head, he Qiu Fat Man can be said to be the embodiment of angel wings.

Although the mustache knows that his army and air force have done their best, but this situation of not being up or down makes him anxious, Germany has never lacked generals who can win battles, but Germany that wins battles often loses wars, because of Germany's poor geopolitical situation, lack of resource reserves and allies comparable to pig teammates. China may be able to change one and a half of them, that is, if you don't consider the arrogant Roman godfathers, Germany's allies are much more reliable than Britain, and with Chinese troops entrenched in Irkutsk and Central Asia, the bearded black hand also weighs whether his chrysanthemum will be blown by the bayonets of the Chinese Defense Forces. However, it is true that Germany, which lacks resources, cannot support the needs of successive wars and cannot bring victory dividends to the German people, and perhaps another great savior of the German people will rise in the beer halls of Hamburg, Mainz or Wolfsburg. Aware of the crisis, the mustache was ready to personally supervise the war, the damn Ge Fat had no use except for supplies and troops, convinced that he was God's favorite, he decided to use his god to relieve Germany's worries, when he got on the plane to Calais, he didn't know that history had bounced again, and everything that followed was even more colorful, but it had nothing to do with the mustache.
