667 The bombardment is coming
On the north shore of London, which was under British control, the air raid sirens had been sounding all morning.
Since Reinhardt made the largest bombing declaration in history in his speech yesterday, Gort and his command have been waking up early all morning since the arrival of the 29th, and then waiting for the battle.
"Evacuate civilians and prevent the indiscriminate bombing of the Germans from killing and injuring people......"
Beginning at 5 a.m., Camp Commander Allen of the Churchill Youth Brigade came out with his battalion to take charge of evacuating the people.
said that it was an evacuation of civilians, but Alan himself was just a 15-year-old boy, and if it had been a few months ago, he would have been among the evacuated civilians.
A 15-year-old boy turned out to be a battalion commander wearing a medal of merit!
This is not a fiction or a fiction, this is the current state of the Churchill Youth Brigade.
As for the other soldiers led by Allen, the 15-year-old battalion commander, the oldest two are 14 years old, and the youngest are even only 9 years old!
"Report to the battalion commander! We've taken the old men and girls on Baker Street to the newly vacated bomb shelters. ”
A 12-year-old boy with two 10-year-olds trotted over to report to Allen.
This 12-year-old boy is a platoon commander under Allen. His still immature report made people feel very awkward.
However, this has become the norm in the Churchill Youth Brigade. No one will ask what is wrong.
"Okay, I see." Allen waved his hand to the platoon commander, who was the size of his younger brother, and instructed him as a battalion commander: "Continue to evacuate and look for people who have not left." ”
Not long after Allen finished speaking, a 14-year-old company commander from their battalion walked over with an old man.
"Battalion Commander Allen, this old gentleman is not leaving, he said he wants to come to see you." The young man of the so-called company commander himself was still in the transition period of voice change.
"Uh...... This old gentleman. Alan didn't know how to communicate with this old man who was old enough to be his grandfather.
However, he has also been on the battlefield anyway, ambushed lone German soldiers with a longbow, and returned to the north shore alive, and the courage is much higher than that of teenagers of the same age.
Of course, Allen did not kill three German soldiers as he was introduced at the award ceremony, he only shot and wounded one German soldier from a distance.
As for the fact that at the award ceremony at that time, there was also a saying that such and such a child used anti-tank guns to destroy 5 German tanks, and those are infinitely exaggerated false achievements.
Not to mention that this is not possible, even if it is possible, how can a child soldier be assigned to the anti-tank guns and at least 5 shells that are valuable in the regular units of the army?
In contrast, Allen's fake record is already very reliable.
Soon, Allen adjusted his mentality and said to the old man in front of him: "Sir, you must leave as soon as possible, the Germans' bombs will not distinguish between ordinary people and soldiers, and the criminal Germans will soon bomb the north of London on this side of the Thames indiscriminately." ”
"Guilty Germans?" Surprisingly, the old man did not appear to be flustered. In fact, there is really nothing to be afraid of in the face of a child soldier the size of his grandson.
"Shouldn't the culprit be Churchill's bastard!" Lao Tzu uttered this rebellious remark with some disgraceful words: "If it weren't for him, a madman, how could we be involved in this internal war between the countries of continental Europe!" If it weren't for him, how would you children and women be driven into battle! ”
In the past, if someone dared to scold the respected Prime Minister Churchill like this, these teenagers of the Churchill Youth Brigade would basically immediately arrest that person.
But now, Allen is not angry for Churchill because he is scolded for the prime minister he is loyal to.
Speaking of which, Allen, they hadn't seen Churchill himself for a long time. The last time Churchill awarded a medal to a child in the youth brigade seems to have been five days ago. After that, no one saw Churchill himself.
"Listen to me, kid. Get out of here and flee to Scotland in the north, as far north as you can. Then the old man said to Allen, the eldest here, very movingly: "I am old, I have lived for 80 years, and I have lived enough." But you're still young, and you deserve to live well. My son and daughter-in-law, and my lovely grandson, have been sent to the cemetery by Churchill's beast, and I don't want to see you being dragged to the grave by that bastard like my grandson! ”
"Sir......" Faced with the old man's moving advice, Alan didn't know what to say for a while.
Finally, he was just about to say more, but there were sharp screams of several youth brigade child soldiers in the distance.
"The bombers of the Germans are coming!"
Since these boys belonging to the Churchill Youth Brigade were dragged to the battlefield before they had time to grow up to the stage of voice change, their shouts were very high-pitched and harsh to hear.
"Run! Spread out! Allen shouted out a few words that an elderly army veteran had kindly taught him some time ago when dealing with air raids.
Just as Allen shouted instructions to disperse, the German bomber had already passed over his head, and not far away, a napalm exploded, and John saw the building being lit into a giant torch, and several child soldiers who were searching the building jumped from a height with flames, making his hair stand on end.
After all, Alan was just a child, and he was so frightened that he quickly fled into a nearby building.
Although this is not of great significance, it is as dangerous as running under a big tree to hide from the rain on a thunderous day, but for a boy of Allen's age, he can only hide in a seemingly sturdy house now, in order to visually avoid those miserable scenes outside.
He was accompanied by a 12-year-old platoon leader and two 9-year-old child soldiers who had just been beside him.
Then came a foul smoke and boundless dust and darkness.
Allen's small building was also patronized by the German bombing. Fortunately, it was an ordinary bomb that was dropped on the building, not a napalm incendiary bomb.
Because of the abundance of masonry in north London, several ammunition experts in the German logistics department suggested that throwing napalm alone might not be very effective and too costly.
So the German bombers used a hybrid bombing method of half bombs and half incendiary bombs to carry out large-scale bombing, which allowed Allen, who was hiding in the building, to survive again.
As for the outside, the old man who was still talking to him just now, the child soldiers in his battalion, Alan couldn't care about it now, and he didn't have the heart to think about it.
