Chapter 577: Leave Some Seeds

"Machine gun, ready to shoot, Spitfire tank, aim me and burn!" At this point, Dietrich got back into his tank and prepared to continue the fight.

This is a very exciting scene, their machine guns and flamethrowers, massacring a large number of British soldiers on the opposite side, the other side can only retreat, retreat, step on the corpses of their comrades, and retreat into the sea!

Those who stayed should all be unable to swim, and these people went into the water, what a spectacular scene!

If it was in the interior of the city, then Dietrich would have worried about the loss of his troops, here, but there is an endless seaside, here, tanks against infantry, it is a one-sided massacre!

The tanks were rumbling, and the fighters, who had been ready for a long time, waited for the battle to begin.

Wait, what's the situation?

The other party actually raised the white flag!

This made Dietrich very depressed, why did he surrender?

After raising the white flag, the other party stood up from behind one by one, raised their hands, their eyes were misty, and their hearts were sad.

The war, for them, is over, and they will become prisoners and spend the rest of their time in the prisoner of war camps, until the end of the war, when they will see the light of day again.

However, it is better than dying for no reason, and there is no point in their death like this.

The 3rd Infantry Division, too many people have died, and the British Empire, too many people have died, they really can't die.

"Stop moving." In the face of these captives, Dietrich also lost his temper: "The 1st Panzergrenadier Regiment, take these prisoners into custody." ”

They are tank soldiers, they will not care about the prisoners, on all fronts, many times, the British and French prisoners raised their hands, and without even disarming, their tanks rumbled past each other's side.

For them, the capture of the enemy is a matter of follow-up troops, and their task is to keep moving forward, forward, forward!

Dietrich was upset that he hadn't killed properly, and now it was time for him to carry out his second mission, seal off the beaches and prevent the British from retreating from the long coastline!

Block this place and see what else the British have to do with it!

Across the Channel, Dover.

One by one, the ships sailed across the strait, and when they were summoned, they received a new mission, and their destination was not Dunkirk, but Calais next to it!

However, they did not complain, and at this time, Churchill's words were still echoing in their minds, take our children back!

It's just that for some reason, Churchill's voice is a little sharp!

Dover Military Port, Headquarters.

Vice Admiral Bertram Ramsay, holding the latest intelligence, his face was extremely cold.

"If we had been one step earlier, we would have been able to take control of Calais, we would have been able to control the nearby beaches, we could have brought our personnel back, but now, the Waffen-SS of the Germans, arrived."

Relying on the French to attract firepower, it is said that the main forces of the Germans should all flock to Dunkirk, but now, who would have thought that the Germans would actually send an elite to appear in the Calais region.

From here, using a telescope, you can see the situation on the other side, right on the beach, the tanks of the Germans, already lined up.

According to the spirit of the London meeting, Ramsay was the general leader of the retreat, he was responsible for the overall coordination and command, and at the same time, he also had a capable command team under him.

Rear Admiral Wackwall, who commanded navigation in the English Channel, and Admiral William Tennant, who commanded port and beach boarding, were Ramsay's most trusted men.

But now, it's too late for them.

It took time to mobilize the ships, so it was not until the morning that they completed their preparations for departure, and at the same time, according to the plan, it was also the time when the expeditionary force opposite seized the port.

Who would have thought that the main forces of the Germans would suddenly appear?

"Now, there is only one way to reopen the gap and rescue our expeditionary force." Ramsay's face was still cold: "Move our fleet up, bombard the coast with naval guns, and repel the Germans!" ”

On land, the German Panther 3 tanks were invincible, nothing could stop their advance, and on land, all kinds of anti-armor weapons of the British and French forces were ineffective against them.

However, this is on land, at sea, and it is different.

Needless to say, those battleships like giants, the caliber of their guns has reached more than 400 mm, and once a cannon passes, the entire tank will be flattened, just talking about the more than 100 mm naval guns of ordinary battleships, which can already form an overwhelming advantage over tanks.

Therefore, as long as the warship goes up, it is still completely possible to open the gap.

However, hearing Ramsay's words, everyone present was taken aback.

Because, the British Navy, is no longer powerful.

Even just a year ago, the British Navy had a huge maritime army with 12 battleships, 3 battlecruisers, and several aircraft carriers, but after several naval battles, the British Navy had been almost emasculated.

The British shipyards urgently started the construction of new Lion-class battleships, but they were far from quenching their thirst, and now, the largest warship they could dispatch was the 10,000-ton York-class heavy cruiser.

The sea power in the Atlantic Ocean completely fell into the hands of the Germans, and the precious warships, they could only stay in the harbor, as long as they went out, in front of the tens of thousands of tons of German warships, they could only be tortured and killed.

These warships are the most precious seeds of the British Navy, but now, they are to be used to fight in the strait, bombarding the German ** team on the opposite beach with naval guns, opening the gap, and letting their own troops out!

There is no doubt about the risks.

Even if the Germans had sea power, their fleet did not run into the English Channel to spread wild, after all, it was too close to the British mainland to deal a heavy blow to the German warships.

And now, with the German army already hitting the French coastline, the British warships are not safe, because the German fighters, especially those terrible dive bombers, will also come to attack their warships!

Leave some seeds for the British Navy, you can't let the Germans sink all the warships!

"Ladies and gentlemen, we can't just focus on the navy, we have to see that what remains in France now is the elite of our British Army, if these armies are eaten by the Germans in France itself, then we will have no chance to turn around, we can only usher in death little by little!" Ramsey exclaimed.
