"Oh my God, is this true!"

"I don't know, probably not, it must be a German conspiracy, I don't believe that Mr. Churchill would do such a thing, he looks so suave."

"Cut, I'd rather believe it's true, haven't you noticed that we've not been allowed to read newspapers and listen to the radio for a long time? If it were really above board, he wouldn't have forbade us to do these things! ”

The official bombing did not begin at 2 o'clock in the morning, and the Luftwaffe B-17 bomber unit was tasked with dropping millions of leaflets to various positions of the British army, and the contents of the leaflets were all directed at the Dover massacre.

This was the idea of the Minister of Propaganda Goebbels, who wanted to make such a move two hours before the start of the official attack, so as to give the British soldiers time to understand the situation and think for themselves, and at the same time not to give the British officers enough time to deal with the unrest caused by the army after seeing the leaflets.

When the first leaflet was distributed exactly two hours later, the German team's attack finally officially began!

At Dover, the 7th Panzer Division and the 1st Tank Brigade of the 1st Huaxia Division were dispatched almost simultaneously, and the tanks galloped across the endless plains, but the two forces did not point in the same direction.

From Dover, the 7th Armoured Division struck the A2 road to the north-west of Canterbury, while the 1st Tank Brigade struck due west, through a large farm area, with arrows pointing straight at Ashford.

According to the original battle plan, the 7th Armoured Division and the 1st Tank Brigade, after taking Canterbury and Ashford respectively, went north along the M2 and M20 roads respectively, and successively penetrated the British positions distributed on the two roads until they reached the banks of the Thames, and then the 1st Tank Brigade chose the right time to cross the Thames, and the 7th Armoured Division and the 1st Tank Brigade launched an attack along the Thames to the city of London.

This time, Li Ling still did not attack with the troops, von Bock once again pressed Li Ling to his side, in von Bock's eyes, it seems that Li Ling, the chief of staff, should always appear in front of him, not a single step, even if he sleeps.

In the face of von Bock's request, as the chief of staff of the first landing group, Li Ling really had no reason to follow his troops, and in the end, he had no choice but to explain to Kirsch that he must keep in touch with him at all times, and he must not rush in easily, and then returned to the headquarters.

"Don't pull too far away, the vehicle in charge of reconnaissance should pay attention to report the situation ahead at any time, we don't need to be too fast, just arrive at Ashford before dawn."

Kirsch sat in the command car, and he was actually a little flustered all the time.

Except for a landing operation that barely fought, he Kirsch had never commanded a unit by himself, and since he followed Li Ling and had Li Ling by his side, he seemed to have a backbone, and he only needed to put forward some references.

But now, I command an entire tank brigade and a rocket artillery battalion directly under him, and it's my turn to make a decision, why am I always a little scared?

Forget it, it's better to be cautious, even if the speed of the attack is a little slower, but after all, safety comes first, as long as you don't die.

Kirsch set the tone for his first command, and he thought he would always abide by it, after all, he was well aware of the importance that Li Ling attached to this force, and Li Ling did not regard this unit as a Wehrmacht at all, nor did he regard himself as an officer of this army.

Kirsch has been in contact with Li Ling for so long, and he sees Li Ling's feelings for this army very thoroughly, Li Ling completely regards this unit as his own child, and even his own personal army, and it is precisely because of this that Kirsch is more cautious, for fear that a slight mistake in his command will lead to casualties in the troops.

The speed of the 1st Tank Brigade's attack was very, very slow, because the troops did not take the road around Folkestone, but went straight to Ashford, so the distance in a straight line was only a short thirty kilometers, but it was this short thirty kilometers, the thirty kilometers of the 30 kilometers of the endless farmland that were completely free of any enemy, and the 30 kilometers of endless farmland under the command of Kirsch drove for a full hour and a half, and finally before dawn, the troops arrived at the perimeter of Ashford.

Ashford is not a very large city, but due to its location, it is a transportation hub for London to connect several important ports along the English Channel, so the British fortifications in this area are very dense.

"Order the troops to prepare for battle, there's something unusual about the quiet here."

Putting away his binoculars, Kirsch looked at the buildings in the distance, unable to believe his eyes.

Ashford's houses are generally not very tall, but according to intelligence, there should be at least three regiments of British soldiers stationed here, as well as an air defense battalion, but why does the enemy seem to have not found themselves at all?

A brigade of tank troops, such a big movement drove over, even in the early hours of the morning, it should have been discovered a long time ago!

"Get me Weidenfeller!"

Kirsch didn't dare to let the troops attack easily, for fear of encountering an ambush by the British, but he knew that he had a trump card in his hand at this time, and this was the biggest difference between his troops and other armored divisions, he had a rocket artillery battalion!

"Chief of Staff!"

Soon, Weidenfeller arrived in front of Kirsch on a motorcycle, Weidenfeller's troops could not be considered armored troops, his rocket artillery battalion was not the kind of self-propelled rocket artillery in the true sense of the word, and when he advanced, his troops were dragged by 50 half-track armored vehicles that he had stolen from the Third Motorized Infantry Brigade, and another 50 cars followed behind to pull ammunition.

"If you let your forces deploy now, how much time can you complete the fire preparation and implement fire coverage for Ashford?"

"Huh? This"

Kirsch's question immediately stopped Weidenfeller, because his troops had always been hanging behind the ass of the 1st Tank Brigade for safety, and it was precisely because of this that Ashford was now not in the range of his troops' fire at all, and it was obviously impossible to organize the shooting at the first time.

"What's wrong?"

"I need time, the men of the 1st Tank Brigade are going to clear the field for me, and my troops have to go one more kilometer forward."

"It's okay, then go to the premise, you just say how much space you need, I'll give the order!"
