A National Guard soldier who tried to cross the path and rush to the opposite side was hit by a bullet and fell to the side of the sandbag that had been erected. The young man, who looked to be 20 years old at most, twitched there twice and then never moved again.

Not far from him, two German soldiers with rifles fired fiercely at their targets. They were attacking a position held by a company of the British Army's regular army, a five-story residential building.

In fact, in addition to this five-story building, there were several low-rise houses around it. However, the five-story building with the highest tactical value continued to hold on to its position because of the deployment of more than 70 soldiers from an infantry company of the 11th Division of the British Army.

And the National Guard in the small houses around them had long since died, fled, and scattered.

"Machine gun squad! Set it up upstairs here! Shoot at the fifth floor over there, covering the approach of the infantry of the second platoon! A German infantry platoon leader, leaning against the wall of a two-story building, shouted to the soldiers behind him.

Truth be told, this is already the easiest battle he's ever fought. The German army responsible for crossing the river was the second army that attacked here all the way from Portsmouth, not the paratroopers under the general army of the German, French and Norwegian alliances, and Student.

These German soldiers, who had now crossed the Thames, were surprised to find that the forced crossing could be so easy.

Unlike when we landed in Portsmouth, at that time, although the British National Guard coastal defense troops stationed in the garrison were also useless, they would still resist and flee or surrender after the position was irretrievably broken through.

But this time, the National Guard on the north bank of the Thames almost collapsed on its own before the Germans could finish crossing the river.

It is no wonder that the National Guard is no longer able to fight with the courage it did at the beginning.

After all, at the beginning, Britain had not been successfully invaded by outsiders for hundreds of years, and at that time, their psychological defenses existed, and the situation had not completely collapsed.

But later, the Triple Alliance Army was like a bamboo, counting the British mainland troops one by one, and educating them one by one on how to behave.

Not to mention the temporary conscription of the National Guard militia, even the officers and soldiers of the British Army, few of them could withstand this pressure.

The troops on the Dunkirk side are considered elite, but as a result, 200,000 people have not surrendered en masse. By the way, he also gave out the best weapons and equipment in the sequence of the native British army.

To this day, many of the Norwegian troops fighting against the British army in Britain are using the equipment of the British Expeditionary Force that the Germans resold to them at low prices.

Speaking of which, Germany can be regarded as reaping a lot of tangible benefits from the previous war with Britain and France.

Not to mention anything else, just when the Anglo-French-Norwegian expeditionary forces surrendered, when the British expeditionary forces surrendered, and when the whole of France surrendered, the equipment captured by the German army was enough to equip millions of troops.

Of these weapons, the Germans kept the best part for themselves. These included French artillery, British and French armoured vehicles, transports, and a lot of guns and ammunition, which were packed and equipped for the SS to expand into the second line of the remaining troops.

The remaining weapons that the Germans did not look down on, or were not very easy to carry out logistical supply, were resold by Reinhardt at a low price to Norway, Romania, Finland and other countries that were massively expanding their armies and were in the same camp as Germany.

However, the British no longer had a chance to remorse and resent. Because, the Thames Line, on which they relied to maintain their positions in the north of London, was collapsing on all fronts.

In the area where the British 11th Division was stationed, the National Guard auxiliary defense force here has basically run out, and there are still some regular officers and soldiers of the British Army, who are also struggling to support the final bottom line and fulfill their last responsibilities for the capital.

A German MG42 machine gun was quickly erected under the busyness of the machine gun team, and on the commanding heights of a second building that had been overturned by the previous bombardment, only a broken wall remained, the muzzle of the gun stretched out of the window, aimed at the British building position a little farther away, they were waiting for the order of the platoon commander downstairs, and when the time came, they opened fire to suppress the commanding heights of the British troops opposite.

Downstairs, a ball of smoke mixed with stone particles from a five-story British bullet from a five-story position splashed at the feet of the German platoon leader. The platoon commander was not the slightest timid, and after confirming that the machine gun position had been erected, he shouted to the anti-tank group behind him: "Anti-tank team, come to me, bring your iron fist!" ”

Then, he crouched down against the wall, waited for the bazooka team to run up, then patted them on the shoulder, put his face to their ear, put his hand in front of each other's eyes, and pointed, "See the building over there, right?" The French defenders there are resisting stubbornly, and if you take out there, the British troops in this area will have no firepower worth mentioning! ”

The soldier carrying the Iron Fist III bazooka nodded, indicating that he had heard the order clearly, and then switched positions with the platoon commander, standing at the corner of the wall, and shoved a rocket into the barrel of the bazooka.

The platoon commander saw that the Iron Fist team was ready, so he immediately ordered loudly: "Three, two, one, fire!" Machine gun fire cover! ”

With that, he took a sharp step forward, picked up the G43 semi-automatic rifle in his hand, and shot all the bullets in his magazine at the window on the fifth floor of the building, which was constantly spraying tongues of fire.

The MG42 machine gun, which had been laid in ambush on the second floor above his head, also roared, spraying tongues of fire and sweeping towards the British five-story position higher than their position with tracer bullets, shooting out a cloud of smoke and instantly tilting the maximum firepower.

On the other side of the first floor, the soldiers of an infantry squad also picked up their weapons and fired fiercely at the target opposite them. Bullets were densely packed into the building, which was not yet organized by the British infantry company, and the advantage of the German army's dense firepower was fully utilized at this moment.

Of course, the firing positions of the German troops were lower than the positions of the British troops, and if they continued to fight, they would suffer geographically.

And the reason why they launched a sudden assault like this was not just because they had stronger firepower, but also because they ignored the geographical disadvantage. On the contrary, it was precisely in order to solve this disadvantage that the German platoon commander ordered this intensive offensive to be launched.

His purpose is to cover the most crucial iron fist bazooka to hit the sturdy high-rise building, and solve the trouble once and for all!

The anti-tank fighter with the iron fist anti-tank bazooka did not delay, and with a sliding step, half-kneeling on the ground, leaned out against the corner of the wall and aimed at his target.

"Boom!" A puff of smoke erupted from the tail of the bazooka, and an improved rocket with a large reduction in air resistance flew rapidly towards its target, followed by a violent explosion, and the most active British position in this area suddenly fell silent!

After about a few tens of seconds, the surrounding gunfire gradually stopped.

"We surrender! Don't shoot! We surrendered! The few British soldiers around them, who were still stubbornly resisting, shouted awkwardly in German under the leadership of an officer.
