Within a minute, five organ rocket launchers could rain hundreds of rockets onto enemy positions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

So, when the attack was completed, the rockets rained down on the heads of the British, turning a well-prepared British attack into a farce.

The number of hundreds of British soldiers who retreated back to their positions was only a handful, and the two tanks that accompanied the attack were paralyzed on their positions like giant beasts that had lost their souls.

The British, frightened by this sudden attack, suspended their morning attack and reported the news directly to the High Command.

"Hello? Feed! What did you say? What does it mean that the German artillery fire was ten times fiercer at once? Are you dreaming, or am I misheard? In the headquarters of the 1st Army in the British mainland, an officer asked loudly on the phone.

He put down the phone and opened his mouth to report to the chief of staff of the group army beside him: "Your Excellency, Germany, now with heavy artillery support, our attacking forces have been severely defeated. ”

"Not bombs from the Air Force, not with a concentration of mortars?" The chief of staff heard the words of his subordinates and felt an unusual surprise.

For the past day, the Germans have relied on strong air support and small artillery such as mortars to provide cover.

As a result, just now, the front-line troops encountered even more intense artillery fire, which was really worse for the British 1st Army, which was already not going well.

Originally, the British had an absolute advantage in the number and power of artillery, and the battle was already very difficult - the Germans had more artillery, and the battle could not be fought.

"Report to the High Command what we are encountering, the commander of the army group has already ordered a suspension of the attack." After the chief of staff gave the order, he looked helplessly at the map on the side.

A few minutes earlier, the commander of the army group had already gone to the front to inspect the positions. The German defense line could not be broken for a long time, which made the British army, which had the advantage of strength, very irritable.

"Damn, there's got to be a flaw, right? Could it be that the generals on the other side are all gods? The chief of staff cried out loudly in his heart, complaining about God's unfairness.

Just when the chief of staff complained that his enemy was so strong that his troops were passive everywhere, the commander of the 1st Army in the British homeland was at this time experiencing first-hand what is called a storm of steel.

A dense round of rocket artillery poured down on the positions of the British defenders, and the Germans then began to launch a fierce attack under the cover of tanks.

Before the British troops could organize an effective resistance, the position had already been broken through by the Germans. As the Germans had done before, the German armored forces began to advance in depth after breaking through the enemy positions.

Like a sharp spear, after piercing the enemy's shield, it rushes into the heart of the enemy with an indomitable momentum.

When the commander of the 1st Army Group on the British mainland found that the line of defense he was inspecting had been broken by the Germans, he really wanted to give God a middle finger.

However, it was unlucky to this point, during the inspection, the German troops on the front line suddenly counterattacked, and their own troops were so uncompetitive that they did not hold on for a few minutes, and lost their defensive positions.

He even wanted to curse, his troops stormed for 2 hours, and the German hastily established defensive line did not move.

After the German offensive was launched, his troops only held out for less than 20 minutes before they began to retreat in disarray, abandoning their commanders.

"Bastard!" The British army general gritted his teeth and gave his soldiers a very pertinent assessment, and then he had to get in the car and run away with his troops.

Not far behind him, a German tank No. 3 was raging. This tank swaggered into the British positions and slaughtered the British troops who were running slowly or counterattacking.

"Quick! Remove the commander's flag from the car! Damn it! Somewhere to find a steel helmet and fasten it to his head, the admiral shouted to his guards.

The car was started, and then German bullets flew over. There was a car here that was seen by the German attacking troops, and naturally there was no intention of letting it go.

The British troops retreated too quickly, so Mr. Admiral's escape plan was doomed to be full of tragedy before it had even begun.

The British general may not have watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he can't understand the feeling of cutting his beard and losing his cloak when Cao Cao was chased and killed by Ma Chao.

But he could fully understand his predicament at this moment: he was chased and killed by German soldiers behind him, and he had to tear off the commander's flag and hide it.

As soon as the commander ran away, the remaining commanders of the British army did not have the intention of staying to fight to the end, many people began to retreat in the crowd, and more people had to choose to surrender in the face of the pursuit of the German army.

There was chaos on the positions, and the German tanks were full of soldiers. In just an hour, the German paratroopers cooperated with Adolf? Hitler's Panzer Division, which expanded the breach, tore the British positions to pieces.

At 11 a.m., a group of German soldiers, mixed in with the retreating British troops, drove a truck into the English city of Maidstone.

Luckily the truck was captured by the British army, and it hadn't even had time to change the markings on it.

As if playing a game, they themselves did not know that they had crossed all their companions, and the lone army rushed deep into a place full of British soldiers.

The result was even more dramatic, as they halted their advance after spotting the British soldiers outside the car and making sure that no friendly troops were following them.

Then, in the midst of a crowd of British soldiers, the car turned around and drove again in the direction from which they had come.

What's even more interesting is that the British soldiers gave way to the car in a daze, and then there were soldiers who indistinctly cheered at the truck as it rushed in the direction of the enemy's attack.

It was so dramatic that the German soldiers finally drove the car back into the middle of the German attacking troops.

What makes people laugh and cry is that the German troops, who were gathering their troops in a hurry, escorting prisoners and organizing a new offensive, actually saw a British truck, but did not open fire.

The level of chaos at the scene is evident, with troops from both sides scattered in an area of tens of kilometers. It was not so much that the Germans surrounded part of the British troops, but that they were all in disarray.

It wasn't until the truck stopped on the side of the road and the German soldiers jumped out of the car and stood on the side of the road smoking a cigarette that someone hurried to the truck and delivered a flag representing identification.

Draped the flag over the bonnet of the truck, and the truck will no longer be injured by friendly soldiers.

Then, driving this car and following several tanks, these German soldiers, who were unlucky, were the first to enter Maidstone and take part in a brief street battle there.

At noon, German soldiers stormed the downtown building in Maidstone, and the British 1st Army collapsed and had to continue its retreat in the direction of London.

The Germans soon occupied the important city of Maidstone and laid a new defensive line on the periphery of the city.

Now, they are less than thirty-five kilometers away from London in a straight line. If the British had retreated another thirty kilometers, Churchill would have heard the artillery of the German attack while sitting in London.

The British army, which had been routed by the troops in front, finally stabilized its position temporarily after encountering the local 3rd Army.

Maidstone's occupation by the Germans led directly to Chatham's two-sided attack. The main forces of the British 2nd Army, defending in the Lai area, feared that their flanks would be broken by the Germans and had to move north.

Rai was bloodlessly occupied by the Germans at about 2 p.m. that day, and then Hastings planted the German flag.

On 15 February, the British seemed to have lost more territory than they had on the first day. What makes people feel even more tragic is that the British 1st Army, as the main force of the coastal defense force, no longer has the ability to fight alone.

This force suffered heavy losses and discarded a large amount of baggage and equipment. They abandoned Maidstone, and they abandoned the food and ammunition they had hoarded there.

Because the retreat was too hasty, the gasoline stored in the warehouse, the ammunition in the warehouse, and a lot of heavy artillery on the surrounding positions were not destroyed in time.

The Germans not only captured about 100 large-caliber howitzers, but also found the shells needed for these howitzers. Coupled with towing trucks and some less fresh bread, this eased the needs of many German troops.

Fuel, in particular, overjoyed Dietrich. His "reconnaissance operation" was so successful that even Liszt had to admit that his offensive plan was, in some respects, "a little too conservative."

Field Marshal Liszt, who won a two-sided victory, focused the attack on the Chatham direction. He was in no hurry to attack the London direction, because the expansion of the landing ground was still his most important combat mission so far.

Two new huge floating docks were built to carry the main transport tasks of the day. A large amount of supplies were transported from the sea to Britain, and even the most optimistic pre-war predictions of the landing would not have gone so smoothly.

Chatham's attack did not go well, and the fighting here somewhat allowed the 1st British Army, which was acting rubbish today, to regain a little face.

The British 1st Armored Division, which had retreated to this area, continued to fight, and fought stubbornly until dinner time under the onslaught of the 112th Mechanized Infantry Division commanded by Herman.

The British 2nd Panzer Division, which was better equipped and more well-organized, had already had to rearrange its line of defense 7 kilometers north of Maidstone by dinner.
