As he replied, he pointed to the other side of the map and said to Churchill: "On the other hand, we are not yet sure of the scale of the enemy's airborne landing, and Dover is not necessarily the only landing ground for Germany. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The Wall Peninsula is now also bombed by German bombers, and the German landing force has not yet appeared, so it is really difficult to draw conclusions about where to choose to attack.

After struggling for a long time, Churchill finally gave up his intention to interfere with Deere's operational command, and he opened his mouth and commanded Deere: "General! Do everything possible to mobilize the reserves in Canterbury and destroy the paratroopers of the Germans! Before dawn! I'm going to destroy all the German paratroopers! ”

"I'll do my best!" Standing in front of Churchill, Sir Dill replied in a low voice.

Just as Sir Dill said he was doing his best, Lyman was in the midst of a hail of bullets, desperately throwing out the oval grenade in his hand.

This is not a British barracks, but a disguised British artillery position. I don't know how many cannons there are in it, but there are not a few British soldiers guarding here.

When Lyman began his attack, he was met with stubborn resistance from British soldiers. It is a pity that the other side is obviously not a front-line combat force, although there are many people, the resistance is disorderly.

"Gunther! Ten o'clock! Enemy machine-gun positions! Suppress! Suppress! Lyman shouted to Gunther not far away as he changed his magazine.

Gunther carried an M-40 submachine gun in his hand, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the British machine gun position that was constantly spraying tongues of fire, and fired a full magazine of bullets.

The dense strafing fire suddenly made the opponent feel a huge pressure, the machine gun fire was forced to stop, and several German soldiers took the opportunity to go beyond their hiding bunkers and launched a new round of attack.

The flares in the sky seemed to be extinguished, and the blinding light began to look dim. By the faint light that had already begun, Lyman saw that the British soldiers were retreating, and they did not seem to have much determination to die here.

"Suddenly! Dodo! "Holding his STG-44, he aimed at the target point and fired. Bullet after bullet hit around the machine-gun's firing hole, seriously affecting the British shooter's vision.

And as the German soldiers advanced, more grenades were thrown at the positions where the British soldiers were stationed, and huge explosions were higher and higher.

In the distance, the 60 mm mortars used for the support of the paratrooper battalion came into play, and the mortars with only one were inconspicuous, but the luck was too good.

One of its shells seemed to hit the shells of the stacked large-caliber guns, blasting one of the cannons and all the British soldiers around it into the sky.

The huge explosion completely destroyed the will of the British soldiers to resist, and the British soldiers began to retreat, and before leaving, they did not even have time to destroy their own artillery.

Lyman held his weapon and leaned against the cold body of a BL-6 gun, he had been running so fast that he felt himself sweating.

In fact, the weather was still very cold, and the clothes he wore would even get frostbite if he did not move for a long time - but the intense march and battle made him forget the cold on his body.

"Hell! What kind of artillery is this? Gunther, who had also followed, leaned against the ammunition box, stepped on the body of a British soldier lying on the ground, and asked Lyman while gasping.

Lyman glanced at the overly cumbersome cannon under the moonlight, and shook his head, saying that he did not know which model the British gun was.

In fact, this cannon is a famous artillery from the era of World War I, at that time it was still a star artillery, firing 20 million shells, and it was really the backbone of the British Expeditionary Force.

It is a pity that this gun, which weighed almost 4 tons, was really a little outdated in 1940. If it weren't for the lack of heavy artillery in the UK, this obsolete weapon would not have been used.

Of course, it is much better than nothing, and the British used a lot of old equipment from the First World War on the second-line artillery positions, which can be regarded as clearing stocks and making the best use of them.

The most critical point is actually very helpless: Britain is now unable to produce new artillery with excellent performance, and a large amount of steel is consumed on anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft guns.

Footsteps were heard, and the two men lowered the sound of their respective breathing. Within a few seconds, a group of British artillery passed by in a panic, and as soon as they passed through the artillery, they were killed in the trench by Lyman and Gunther.

A dozen British soldiers fell screaming, and finally everything returned to calm. The battle elsewhere was over, and this hidden British position was now owned by the German paratroopers.

"This is the British BL-6 artillery, the old guy left over from the last war." The battalion commander slapped the British artillery in the moonlight and said to his subordinates.

"This thing doesn't have a range of more than 10 kilometers, so if you don't go further south, it's the beach." Estimating his position from the distance of the artillery, the battalion commander looked at the location of his attacking target.

Capturing farms and houses, and eventually taking control of the road and railway between Canterbury and Dover, was one of the most important tasks of the German paratroopers.

"When we were attacking just now, the regimental headquarters contacted us. The farm side is attacked by the 2nd battalion, and we can set up positions on our side and defend this place. The battalion commander pointed to the surrounding fortifications, which had been almost prepared by the British, and said to Lyman.

Now the company commander of the 2nd company is in place, but the company commander of the 1st company has not been found. So the 1st Company is now under the temporary command of Lyman, and his troops are more than 80 people.

The appearance of paratroopers completely taught the British what it means to be an elite soldier. Although they were ready to fight, when the German soldiers swarmed in, the British soldiers, despite their large numbers, could only avoid them.

Many anti-aircraft artillery positions were destroyed by German paratroopers, and although the gliders that landed later suffered heavy losses, they also provided German paratroopers with a large amount of heavy weapons and equipment.

Including large-caliber mortars, but also platoons and platoons of soldiers. As soon as these soldiers stepped out of the glider, they were formed, so their combat effectiveness was more complete.

The first three paratrooper regiments landed with a total of more than 5,000 soldiers. The Germans then again airdropped three regiments of paratroopers and two other regiments of gliders.

Armed with a large number of anti-tank rocket launchers, as well as mortars, the soldiers began to expand their occupation on the ground as a powerful supplement to the paratrooper units.

"Plan YH-22 has been successfully completed......" On the radio, the commander of the 1st Paratrooper Division reported the latest attack to Stuart, who was still waiting in France on the other side of the Channel.

The original plan to occupy nearby towns was to be carried out by daybreak. But the British defenders were defeated so quickly that the German soldiers overfulfilled their original plan.

"The 2nd Parachute Division is attacking Ashford, and the 1st Parachute Division, which has taken control of the surrounding area, is preparing to attack Canterbury...... And the troops of the 3rd Parachute Division were preparing for an offensive in the direction of the coastline. The chief of staff of the 1st German Airborne Army said to Studenter.

"Isn't it a little too scattered?" Worried that his troops would be too scattered and surrounded by the British after dawn, Student asked worriedly.

The chief of staff looked at the map and shook his head, and replied to Studenter: "The British resistance is smaller than expected, which shows that the other side has not as many reserves as we estimated in advance, which is a good thing. ”

"Let the 1st Parachute Division hold firm, and if the enemy counterattacks very hard, abandon Canterbury and return to the field to garrison the road." Student finally gave his own order.

It's not that he is conservative, after all, at this time his three paratrooper divisions are on the enemy's land, and if he is not careful, he will make a big mess.

If the paratroopers could not be gathered together and the enemy opened a road connection, it also meant that the paratroopers were divided and surrounded by the enemy, and the situation would suddenly be unfavorable to the subsequent development of the German army.

……

The disrupted British command only now really realized how powerful the German paratrooper units really were.

In despair, Sir Dill was informed that two recruit training divisions near Canterbury had been routed by paratroopers, one division commander had died in his headquarters, and the other division commander had now retreated to Canterbury, desperately trying to gather his own rout.

Elite German paratroopers seemed to be everywhere, and the British Army garrison, which had not really seen such chaos, was annihilated by hundreds and thousands in the chaos.

"Some of the outlying buildings in Ashford had already fallen into the hands of German paratroopers, and our reinforcements could not get there on time, they were ambushed by German paratroopers halfway through and suffered heavy losses." An officer bitterly reported the latest battle situation, and the plan to reinforce Ashford seemed to be in vain.

Apparently, the Germans seemed to be going to land between Dover and Folkestone, and they were trying to cut off the lines of communication to reach both places.

"You didn't destroy the German paratroopers and didn't even stop their plan of action!" Churchill also saw the clue at this time, which was obviously about to be pressed by the enemy.

"I have informed the 1st and 2nd Armoured Divisions that they have been ordered to attack Ashford and Canterbury respectively, to open lines of communication and reinforce the coastal garrison." As chief of staff, Dill is certainly not willing to sit idly by.

After measuring the size of the German airborne army, or having been taught how to behave by the German paratroopers, he decided to send his elite reserve and launch a counterattack against the road.

At the same time, the German Army soldiers had already boarded the ship, and the 112th Infantry Division, led by the division commander Herman, left the coast of Calais, France.
