Chapter 742: Roller Coaster
Victory! When the news of the German retreat reached London, many people did not come back to it.
Something is wrong!
Germans, is it so weak?
The fierceness of the fighting on the front line is clear to everyone, and although the casualty figures have not been reported, they can also know that on this day, at least tens of thousands of lives were lost.
However, the retreat of the Germans came as a surprise to everyone.
In their impression, the Germans, who would not retreat, ran out of bullets with grenades, with stones, with teeth, especially those Waffen-SS, were simply beasts.
They won't give up.
According to their own inference, they should hold out until the evening, and then wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops, which is also the most feared by everyone, so now in the command headquarters, a plan is being hurriedly made, and wait until another two hours, before dark, to launch a fierce offensive and push all the Germans into the sea!
It was only noon, and the Germans retreated on their own initiative?
At this time, the British high-level was surprised, but Churchill on the side had already spoken.
Churchill never closed his eyes, after all, he was already an old man, and the fate of the whole of England, which was forced on him, made him feel Alexander, and now, when he heard the news, he was still quite excited.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in any case, we have repelled the German attack, and the pace of German expansion has stopped with us!" Churchill said: "This is a momentous moment! We firmly believe that this world war is approaching a turning point! ”
When he returned from the United States, Churchill's feelings were even deeper, and Churchill knew that whether or not the United States could join his side was the most crucial point related to his own success or failure.
It can be said that with the assistance of the United States, there is hope for Britain, and without the assistance of the United States, Britain is already at the end of the road.
Britain can't hold on, when Germany integrates Europe's powerful industry, it becomes the most powerful existence, and only the United States can deal with Germany!
Although Churchill's trip to the United States came and went in a hurry, he also saw the opinions of the top level of the United States, especially Roosevelt, who had worries about Europe in his eyes, and once Europe was integrated by Germany, it would become the biggest threat to the United States.
Roosevelt still has a broad vision, strategic insight, and Roosevelt leads the United States, and will definitely join the British side in the future!
Churchill was convinced of this, and the conditions he offered were sufficient to tempt the United States, and at the same time, he also offered a plan for changing the domestic trend in the United States.
Now, this victory is worth jubilating.
"Now, let's inform the whole nation of this news!" Churchill said: "Let our war correspondents, take some pictures of the beach, especially the sight of the corpses of the Germans everywhere, it is quite a morale boost, and Britain needs such a victory." ”
Churchill did not go to the scene, he was just imagining that the fighting there was fierce, and at the same time, it was more inspiring, so it was the best!
As soon as Churchill's words fell, he saw Archibald, the chief of staff, hurrying over, and his face was extremely gloomy.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the Germans still want to attack again at night? Churchill said to Alalald: "If we can repel one German attack, we can repel a second and a third." ”
The Germans will not be willing to fail, so the Germans will also land across the sea, and perhaps, even tonight, Churchill has a premonition.
However, his hunch was wrong.
"Guys, we made a mistake, the Germans' main direction of attack is not Dover, but Plymouth!" Alald looked at the senior generals of the army in front of him, at Churchill, at the self-proclaimed wise thinkers, but his words were weak: "Now, the whole of Plymouth is occupied by the Germans, and the main force of the Germans, that is, the armored division of the Waffen-SS, has set out from Plymouth and is coming towards London!" ”
"Alalbord, are you kidding?" A senior naval officer couldn't help but say aloud: "How is this possible? ”
I remember receiving a report from Plymouth, it was three or four hours ago, when they said that they had been bombed by German planes, and asked for Spitfire fighters to help them expel them, but Churchill refused, and the fighting here was fierce, and the air force needed full support, and the German air raids over there should be contained.
Now, the containment has actually become the main one? Moreover, the main armored divisions of the Germans have all come up, and they can't blame others for not believing it, this news is too shocking.
It's a rollercoaster ride!
If the Germans really called, why did they not report it for so long?
"We in Great Britain, at least a thousand Germans have sent agents, they have destroyed the line of communication between Plymouth and the outside world, and Plymouth's radio has also been jammed, this news was reported by the soldiers who have retreated, so it is so late." Alald's face was gloomy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now is not the time to question the authenticity of this news, but how we are going to deal with the problem here."
Alald kept his composure, and when the news reached his ears, he felt a boom, and his mind went blank at first, and then, all the situations were connected, and many doubts were explained.
The Germans, landing across the sea at Dover, did not do their best at all, although they deployed so many shore defense guns to smash the sea surface, but if the Germans really wanted to come, they should have blown up all the shore defense guns in the next few days.
The hard work of the Germans is all an illusion! Just to attract the attention of your own side and at the same time create an empty force in the Plymouth direction!
This is more in line with the fighting style of the Germans, and in line with the command of the fox-cunning Ciric!
There is no doubt that the Germans have indeed landed in Plymouth, and now, what they need to do is how to deal with it?
On land, the Germans are omnipotent, it is precisely because of the strait that Britain has the confidence to continue fighting, if Germany lands on the British mainland, it will still come to Germany's strongest armored corps, and Britain will still be a fart!
"Immediately mobilize the nearby troops to encircle the Germans in Exeter, and at the same time, in the rear, arrange three defensive lines, especially on the outskirts of London, arrange a stronger defensive line, we will definitely not surrender, we would rather live and die with London and Britain!" Churchill said almost with a roar. 5610
