The number of German aircraft was slightly smaller than that of the Anglo-French forces, but the German aircraft were superior to the Anglo-French forces in terms of performance, and the combat experience was incomparable to the Anglo-French forces. So the Anglo-French lost two to three times as many aircraft as the Germans.

At any time, there are smoke-emitting planes falling from the sky, the roar of the planes is deafening, and the bullets and shells fired by the planes shuttle through the air, drawing orange-red ballistic trajectories.

The air battle is in full swing, and the ground battle is even more earth-shattering, Li Mo's strategic intention is very clear, your British and French air force is almost the same as mine, but your surrounded more than 300,000 troops will definitely not be my opponent of the high-morale, advanced equipment of the army, these British and French planes came to the Dunkirk area to participate in the war, just to save these British and French army.

Then I will eat your encircled army in the Dunkirk area in one fell swoop, and your motivation to fight will be gone.

The offensive task of Flender's 5th Panzer Division was to attack the port of Dunkirk along the English coastline, and Flender's offensive area had a lot of sand and soft land, while Flender's Leopard tank was too heavy to advance very hard, and as a result, Flender's No. 4 tank was originally an auxiliary attack, but now it has become the main attack.

The Anglo-French forces in the Dunkirk area, seeing how hot the planes in the air were, actually boosted the morale of the Anglo-French coalition forces in disguise.

You must know that the anti-tank means of the British and French forces at this time are much better than those of the Soviet Union, and all kinds of anti-tank guns are the most effective means for infantry to deal with tanks.

Flender had no choice but to order to follow his infantry unit to collect wood or dry grass, and lay a passage under the Leopard tank, so that the speed of Flender's heavy armored group could barely be raised.

If the speed is slow, it will be slow, Flender does not dare to charge recklessly with the No. 4 tank, the Leopard tank with the No. 4 tank and armored vehicles slowly advanced against the position of the British and French forces, Flender from the place of attack to the port of Dunkirk, which is only thirty kilometers, and the order given by Li Mo to Flender is that he must attack the front line for ten kilometers every day.

For this attack distance, Flender can do it with complete ease. The direct shipping regiment, which did not play a big role in the early stage, is now also hovering over Flender's armored forces. As long as the Anglo-French forces opposite Flanders had a relatively strong defense, or anti-tank artillery, these direct shipping regiments would be smashed by a burst of 150 mm rockets.

Now the Anglo-French coalition is complaining, the soft ground is not conducive to the assault of Flender's armored forces, but the British and French fortifications are also unable to build very strong, a 150 mm caliber rocket will blow up a large area of trenches, in this case, even if the British and French forces have the mind to jump over the wall, they have no ability to hit the Flender armored forces.

Therefore, Flender's troops are generally moving slowly, only occasionally putting a few cannons, and the main battles are fought by the direct navigation regiment in the air, and after the direct navigation regiment is bombed, and the Leopard tank assault group is crushing the position of the British and French forces, the remnants of the British and French troops are firing a few anti-tank guns, and immediately flee.

500,000 German ** troops encircled and annihilated more than 300,000 British and French troops, as long as Li Mo dared to make up his mind, the fate of the British and French forces could not be reversed, although the air force of the coalition forces was fighting hard, but the one-sided situation of the ground war made their efforts in vain, because the British and French forces could not obtain absolute air supremacy in the Dunkirk area at all, as long as they flew within 100 kilometers of the Dunkirk area, German planes would come immediately.

Then there was a tragic air battle between the two sides, and the air force of the British and French forces could only meet it passively, even if they wanted to support their own infantry, it was impossible, in this case, the British had no way to save their troops.

On June 25, Flender came to the port of Dunkirk, and at noon on June 26, the port of Dunkirk was completely occupied, and the last door of escape for the British and French forces was closed.

On June 27, when all British and French forces in the Dunkirk area surrendered, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was so anxious that he gave the shortest and most famous one-minute speech on the morning of June 28, at the Houses of Parliament:

"The first is to never give up; The second is never, and the third is never, never, never, never give up! ”

After the speech, Churchill stepped off the podium!

Churchill's speech, known abroad as a famous one-minute speech, is also the most successful and influential speech among many foreign politicians, although the time is short, but in the history of world speech can be called a "classic"!

Churchill's one-minute speech was completed, and after a moment of silence in the room, the audience suddenly burst into applause!

"Never give up, never, never give up!"

In our world, only people who really know how to "never give up" and people who have participated in the practice and have not been defeated can make such a voice on the podium and make such a wonderful speech, and can also truly understand the core of "never give up" and the place of life!

The devastating German assaults in Belgium and northern France wiped out the entire Belgian army, with 30 French divisions and 9 British divisions gone. The new commander of the French army, Maxim? Weygand cobbled together 49 divisions plus 2 British divisions into 3 corps (6th, 7th, and 10th corps) to form the Weygand Line, about 300 miles east and west, along the Somme and Aisne rivers, with 17 divisions defending the Maginot Line. The two lines of defense joined together in an attempt to prevent the Germans from moving south.

After the German occupation of the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and northern France, the German High Command drew up a battle plan for the second phase of the French campaign, codenamed the Red Plan. This plan called for the Germans to move south and defeat the French completely. The strength of the German army amounted to 137 divisions, and its two armies, A and B, were quickly deployed. Army Group B (with 6 pantry divisions) as the right flank and made a breakthrough to the front of the Somme; Rundstedt's Army Group A (10 panzer divisions) took the left flank and made a frontal assault on the Aisne.
