Chapter 748: It's a Trap (Added 4)

"FΓΌhrer, the battle ahead is unfavorable." After being woken up from his bed, the drowsy Ciric hurried to the three-service joint operations headquarters next door.

At this time, all the generals had arrived, and they were all awakened from their dreams, and the person in charge was Marshal Keitel, who, after receiving the situation at the front, decided to send people to gather the various commanders.

"That's the way it is now." Keitel had already said the situation at the front: "In Exeter, we were attacked by the British, who used civilians as cover and attacked us with impunity. ”

"Of course, the British can't be allowed to succeed." "Now, since the citizens are being used as a cover, they are no longer civilians, they are also armed men, and I suggest that indiscriminate attacks be launched against them!" ”

Schellner was an absolute ruthless, and now, the German army was constantly victorious, making everyone proud and looking at other countries on top.

Since you don't want to live, let you die!

"Nope." Manstein spoke: "This will have serious consequences, after all, those people are civilians. ”

As the master planner of the invasion of France, Manstein gained great prestige, and he was more suitable as a staff officer than leading troops to fight, so Ciric recruited Manstein into the joint command of the three services.

Now, Manstein disagrees with Schellner's view that civilians are civilians, not combatants, they are just being used, and if the German army attacks these civilians, then the German fighting will become unjust.

After all, when the war began, they attacked the city all the way under the slogan of avenging Hitler.

Although they won one victory after another, there were no bad deeds, which is also the reason why after the surrender of France, the French mainland was able to settle down smoothly, and those sporadic resistance elements could not set off any storms at all.

Now, if a massacre were to be staged in Britain, it could deter the British, or it could make them even more bitter.

After all, Britain was different from France, and the resistance of the British people was even stronger, and they were absolutely not willing to be dominated by Germany over the entire European continent.

Although Manstein is a staff officer, his talent is undoubtedly revealed, and it must be considered as a whole, which may be counterproductive!

"Yes, we have to be cautious about this." Ciric spoke.

Careful! There is a trap in the middle, and maybe this is what Churchill dug for himself, waiting for himself to jump!

In this way, Churchill could better motivate the British people.

"Our action must be quick, we cannot delay too long in Exeter, and if our action is delayed, the British will organize a stronger line of defense in London." Keitel said worriedly.

The choice of Plymouth landing was a risky move, and by now Ciric had won the respect of everyone, his command skills were unmatched, and, every time, the German actions seemed to be thrilling, but in the end was not still victorious?

Now, everyone is still convinced of Ciric. The German army, which could successfully land in Britain, suffered quite few casualties, relied on Ciric's plan.

However, the landing in Plymouth was still insufficient, and it was not easy to march from Plymouth to London, where the terrain was not suitable for large-scale maneuvering of tanks.

They had to be quick, and if the British had enough time to defend in layers, the Germans would have taken London in the end, but at a much greater cost.

No one expected that in Exeter, they would be blocked.

"Yes, we have to be fast." Ciric's mind was thinking very quickly, and now, a bold idea had come to his mind.

"I have a solution." "Let's stand on the moral plane of justice and end the battle of Exeter with dignity," said Ciric. ”

When Cirek said his thoughts, everyone's eyes were full of incredulity, and this is okay? However, this method is really good!

End the battle in Exeter in one day!

Ciric's order was quickly reached to the front-line troops, and they got busy.

In the east, the sky gradually brightens.

In the second half of the night, in fact, the sound of gunfire and artillery gradually became quieter, so that it was silent.

At this time, in a private house in Exeter, Churchill's rousing speech was playing on the radio.

"And now, the British, having reached the most dangerous juncture, the Germans, suddenly from Plymouth, landed. I do not hide my surprise that I am primarily responsible for this mistake, that we were all blinded by the Germans' attack at Dover and did not anticipate the direction of their main attack. ”

There is no doubt that Churchill has to take responsibility, and he has not shied away from it, and he cannot avoid it, but he has something to be proud of.

"In the stormy times of England, we saw something shining, and that was the spirit of our British people, the indomitable spirit of thousands of years, and at this time, our whole people of Great Britain were fighting spontaneously!"

"It was in our Exeter that a great victory was ushered in, and one of our brigades there engaged the superior German armored forces, which forcibly stopped the advance of the German army, and created an opportunity for us to arrange a defensive line in the rear, this brigade gave me hope again, as long as we maintain this spirit, our motherland, will not perish!"

"Exeter, is the hope of our country, and every one of our cities will take up arms and fight back against the Germans, just like Exeter!" Churchill's words are incomparably imposing: "For many years, we in England have never been defeated, and I believe, so we are now!" Our country, our nation, will live forever! ”

"The brigade commander, the news from the superiors, from the London side, will award us the VC medal to everyone who fights here." Bernard's side, Mills said excitedly.

VC Medal, Victoria Cross, Victoria Cross,.。 This is the highest honour of the British army, and it is given to soldiers who are extremely brave in battle.

It was established by Queen Victoria in 1856 at the request of her husband, Prince Albert. It was named after Queen Victoria in recognition of British soldiers.

This kind of medal is higher than all other orders, medals, and decorations in the United Kingdom. The Victoria Cross is the highest level of reward available to British and Commonwealth officers and soldiers who wear different ranks, as well as British citizens who serve in military institutions.

For many years, medals were awarded only to those who "showed remarkable courage in the face of the enemy." Therefore, the Victoria Cross is a symbol and symbol of bravery and heroes.

Now, every British soldier in Exeter can get such a medal! That's enough to make people even more brave to fight!

Suddenly, Bernard frowned, and he heard that terrible voice, the German bombers, coming up! 21010
