The sun goes down and night falls. The fighting between Britain and Germany was also temporarily halted because of the night. However, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the disgusting smell of blood, still make people remember that they are now on the deep and brutal battlefield.

After a day of hard fighting, three divisions of the German Marine Corps succeeded in establishing a solid beachhead at Margate, Dover, and Folkestone at great cost. Subsequently, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd corps of the German Army, began to send troops to land. In order to be able to withstand a possible counterattack by the British. As long as it can withstand this wave of counterattack from the British, then the German army will be able to really gain a foothold in Britain itself. It is even possible to launch the next stage of the offensive as more and more troops land on the landing.

Canterbury, South East Theater Command of the British Army. Commander of the British Home Army, Ian Ian, who also served as Commander of the Theater of Operations? Admiral Hamilton's face was very ugly. After a day of fighting, not only did the British Army suffer heavy losses. On the contrary, the Germans succeeded in occupying the beachhead. What is this for Ian? For Admiral Hamilton, this is undoubtedly an unacceptable result.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that everyone has shown great bravery in today's battle. But, unfortunately, the final result was not satisfactory to us. According to the information we have received, the land forces of the Germans have begun to land. The chances of us trying to fend off the Germans are getting smaller and smaller! "Ian? Admiral Hamilton said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have done our best in today's battle. The 1st Army lost more than 30,000 men, half of whom were killed by heavy German artillery fire and aircraft bombardment. We have no sea supremacy, let alone air supremacy, and it is not ordinarily difficult to defeat the Germans on the battlefield by the sea! "Douglas? Admiral Haig said with a bitter face.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. I believe that through today's battle, you can also see how strong the Germans were! In today's battle, we did our best, but it was still the result. Admiral Benson also smiled wryly.

Although Admiral Gough didn't say anything, his expression also showed that he also thought that this battle was very annoying.

"Guys, I know, it's very difficult. But we can't just give up because we're in trouble, right? In that case, what is the use of this battle that we have painstakingly prepared? It would be better to surrender directly to the Germans. "Ian? Admiral Hamilton said.

Douglas? Admiral Haig and the others stopped talking. They also know that no matter what, this battle must be fought, especially if it is won as much as possible. Otherwise, the British Empire would be completely finished. As generals of the British Empire, they naturally did not want such a situation to occur.

"Your Excellency, you need the support of tank troops, and the Germans have invested a large number of tanks in the battle during the day today. Many of our lines of defense were torn apart by them with tanks! Admiral Haig said.

"The army also doesn't have many tanks, just over a thousand in total, all in London. I'll send a report to London and ask them to send some tanks over. However, the number will not be too much. Admiral Hamilton said.

Although the British had been working on tanks for a long time, their original tanks were slow, bulky, weakly defended, and prone to breakdowns. Compared to the tanks that Germany was already able to participate in real combat, it was simply useless. The German tanks also pointed out a way out for the British in tank research. This made Britain imitate German tanks as much as possible when developing tanks. After all, this is already a relatively mature solution. In times of war, there is no reason not to let these proven schemes not be used.

"General, can our Air Force defeat the Air Force of the Germans? The German planes were hovering over our heads all the time, strafing and bombing, causing great damage to our troops. For the psychological pressure of the soldiers, it is very great! Admiral Benson also said.

"The fighters equipped by our air force are too far behind the German fighters in terms of performance, and even if they go to fight the Germans, they often have only a dead end. In order to protect our precious pilots, we made the decision to avoid the Air Force going to war. We are already working on a new type of aircraft in joint development with the Americans. However, it will take some time before the development is successful. Admiral Hamilton said.

"Anyway, the Air Force is still needed to fight. In this way, at least some of the stress can be relieved. Admiral Goff said.

Admiral Hamilton nodded: "I will make a request to the Air Force, so that they can send some fighters to the battlefield!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Germans have begun a mass landing, we cannot afford to let them continue like this. Otherwise, it will cause us a lot of trouble. So, I hope we can launch a counterattack and drive the Germans out into the sea! Admiral Hamilton said.

"Fight back? If we take the initiative to attack, our troops will be hit by the powerful fire of the Germans. In that case, our casualties will soar even further! Admiral Haig exclaimed.

The other generals also frowned. Everyone knows very well that the firepower of the German Army is very strong, and when defending, they can more or less use fortifications to offset the firepower advantage of part of the German Army. If you take the initiative to attack, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to sending yourself to death.

"I mean, attack at night. At night, the Germans' planes could not take off. Their warships, though, can also provide some fire support. However, the force will not be too large, and the casualties will be very limited. If we want to drive the Germans out to sea, launching a counterattack at night will be our only chance! Admiral Hamilton said.

Admiral Haig thought for a moment, then nodded, "This can be tried." However, it is not yet known whether it will succeed. However, our casualties will certainly not be small. ”

"As long as you can drive the Germans into the sea, even if it costs a lot, it will be worth it!" Admiral Hamilton had clearly made up his mind.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" The other British generals replied.
