The British army in the city of London was defeated one after another, and countless British soldiers even lost the courage to resist. As a result, large areas of the city of London soon fell to the Germans.

On September 21, more than 20 percent of the south London city fell into German hands.

On 22 September, 20 percent of the area was again occupied by the Germans.

By September 23, the British army's space for activity had almost been compressed to the banks of the Thames.

If this continues, it will not be long before the city on the south bank of the Thames falls into the hands of the Germans.

At the same time, the German 8th Army had already circled north of London and was attacking from it. However, given the limited strength of the 8th Army Corps, their main task was to prevent the withdrawal of German troops from the north. Therefore, the strength of the attack is not great. However, this was a fatal blow to the morale of the British army. This meant that London was already under siege by the Germans. The British army in the city had no other way to live.

"General Crook, General Birlow. It looks like we'll soon be able to take over the whole south London borough! "Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhein further moved his command to the outskirts of London. Although, the battle continues. But von? Field Marshal Falkenhain was very confident in the German army. He confidently believed that it would not be long before London would be completely captured by the Germans.

"Yes, Your Excellency. In two to three days at most, we can take South London. As for whether I will be able to take the whole of London at the end of the month, I can't guarantee it. However, at least London can be taken at the beginning of next month! Admiral Crook said.

The German 1st Army Corps was the main force attacking London, and it performed very well, which made Admiral Crook also have a bright face. It can be said that after the end of this war, Admiral Crook's promotion to the rank of Imperial Field Marshal is already a matter of ironclad.

"Your Excellency, the fighting spirit of the British is getting weaker and weaker. Maybe after we take south London, the British won't be able to hold out. When the time comes, we can easily take north London! Admiral Birlow said.

Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhain nodded, and the successive defeats undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to the morale of the British army. In the case of low morale, the combat effectiveness of the troops cannot be brought into play at all. And this is undoubtedly of great benefit to the German army. They could defeat the British more easily and capture London at minimal cost.

"What a pity! London is the largest city in the world. However, after this battle, London was completely ruined! "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

The current London has indeed been ruined. Especially in the southern part of the city, where there is a fierce battle, not even a single intact building can be seen. The northern city is a little better. However, when the Germans took the south part of London and began to attack the north, it is believed that the north part of London will be in ruins under the heavy shelling and bombardment of the German army, just like the south of London.

Of course, the German generals did not feel any guilt about this. Because they've done a lot of it. Wasn't a world-famous city like Paris also destroyed by them? As an enemy of the German Empire, you have to be prepared to pay a heavy price. The destruction of the capital is only one of the costs.

The German army's successive victories in the city of London were undoubtedly a great shock to other countries. Although, they all expected that the British would lose. However, I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Britain would already lose the game. Originally, they thought that they could borrow the British to weaken Germany. But now it seems that the British can't even do this!

The Americans, in particular, on the other side of the ocean, suddenly felt the pressure increase. Woodrow? President Wilson has more than once called for a further increase in the military power of the United States to cope with the strong military power of Germany. With the current military power of the United States, it is not an opponent of Germany at all. If it were not for the Atlantic barrier, it would have been very easy for Germany to defeat the United States.

On the south bank of the Thames, the headquarters of the 43rd Infantry Division of the British Army. An infantry division of more than 10,000 people has now fought less than 5,000 people. It stands to reason that with such large casualties, the troops should have collapsed a long time ago. However, until now, they continue to fight. Not because of anything else, but because of Secretary of State Richard? Hardan gave the order, and if he did not receive his order, he would be dealt with by military law if he retreated without authorization.

There were several division commanders who fled back to the north bank of the Thames without permission. As a result, Richard? Hardan walked his word. Now those guys are still on the gallows!

"General, what should we do now? Our connection with the 45th Infantry Division has been severed. A German unit, cut into our joint. Now we are surrounded by the Germans. We organized several counterattacks to try to get in touch with the 45th Infantry Division, but none of them succeeded! A colonel said.

Major General Rich, the commander of the 43rd Infantry Division of the British Army, had a black face as if he was the bottom of a pot.

"That War Secretary has gone mad, and they want us all to die on the south bank of the River Thames! We have done our best on the battlefield. It's not that we don't fight hard, it's that the Germans are too strong! But he wants us to die! The other regiment commander was also angry.

Among the armies of Western countries, surrender is not a shameful thing. Of course, the prerequisite is to do the best you can. Therefore, when there is no way, the armies of Western countries will mostly choose to surrender. In this way, at least his life can be saved.

But this time it's different, Richard? Haldan issued a desperate order forbidding the troops at the front to surrender, demanding that they must fight to the death. This was unacceptable to many British officers and soldiers.

"General, we can't beat the Germans. If we continue to fight, everyone will have to die here. Otherwise, let's surrender to the Germans! The chief of staff also suggested.

Major General Ricky thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, contact the Germans and ask them to guarantee our personal safety, and we surrender to them!" Major General Ricky said.

"Yes, General!" The other British officers suddenly looked happy.

The next day, the British 43rd Infantry Division surrendered to the Germans, becoming the first unit to surrender to the Germans in formation.
