On the morning of October 20, a wheat field on the outskirts of Mitcham. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few kilometres north of Mitcham is the River Thames, which is London. This is a suburb of London with a large estate farm. Many of the British high society had their own farms here, and all the peasants here worked for the nobles and the bigwigs, and they didn't have a single acre of land of their own.

The bigwigs enjoyed everything the country had, and the ordinary civilians not only had nothing, but also gave everything they had under the slogan of expelling the invaders. He even had to take up arms and go to the dangerous battlefield to fight the Ming army armed to his toes. How many people in this era can give all their consciousness for the country?

The Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment is one of the most powerful units in the hands of the British Crown. Although it was a regiment, it was equipped with more than 200 American tanks, including Sherman and M26 Pershing heavy tanks.

Although the British themselves also produced tanks, but their tanks were far from being comparable to the Ming army because of their technical deficiencies, and after receiving the support of the Americans, the British used the American-aided tanks to equip their main forces, and the domestic tanks were basically allocated to ordinary troops.

After the British leadership made the decision to make a last-ditch effort, the British launched a counterattack against the Ming army in the southern suburbs of London, with the Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment as the core, accompanied by many other royal units. The main direction of attack of the Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment was the Mitcham area, where the 2nd Armored Division of the Ming Army was located.

And the Ming army, which had already received the intelligence notice, was ready and waiting for the British to come.

'Knock knock~~~' The British anti-aircraft artillery fired desperately into the sky, trying to prevent the roaring Ming fighters from dropping bombs one after another in their marching columns. The flying shells rarely achieved any results, but the elite Ming army aviation used repeated attacks to blow up many British tanks, artillery, personnel and materials to pieces.

The British counterattack was panicked and disorderly, and they launched a counterattack even in broad daylight. The air superiority of the Ming army was completely not taken into account, and many British troops involved in the counterattack were even bombed by the Ming army's aviation on the march.

It was not until after eleven o'clock in the morning that the British army dragged their way to the vicinity of Mitchum. However, by this time, the Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment had lost more than half of it. If it had been for other British troops, they would have collapsed long ago under this loss, just like the many British armies that launched counterattacks in other directions.

Fortunately, the Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment was a rare elite unit in the hands of the British at this time, and in the face of such serious losses, it still launched an attack on the opposite Ming position.

Most of the artillery of the British has already been lost. The remaining dozens of artillery pieces were covered by a counterattack by nearly ten times the Ming artillery fire force after only a few minutes of opening fire to bombard the Ming position, and they soon lost their voice. More than 100 Shermans and M26 Pershing roared across the wheat fields towards the town of Mitcham a kilometer away. They were given the order to seize the small town.

There was a small wooded area next to the road leading to the town of Mitchum, when more than 100 British tanks rushed across the wheat fields and along the side of the woods towards the road. The woods, which had been silent, suddenly flashed with blazing fire. Forty-eight tanks of the Tiger Tank Battalion, hidden in the woods, had killed nearly twenty British tanks in the first round of attack.

The British, who had been hit suddenly, looked a little flustered. Part of the tanks began to turn to try to get closer to the woods. The other part of the tanks continued to advance towards the town of Mitchum, and the British command was somewhat confused.

While the commander of the British armored unit was busy adjusting his deployment, dozens of Tiger tanks like ancient monsters crushed small trees and bushes from the flanks of the British attack queue with the roaring sound of engines. They were only a few hundred meters away from the British attack queue.

"All parked!" Lin Shuo, who was sitting in his command car, shouted and ordered his subordinates to "fire on the spot and kill them all!" Priority strikes against enemy heavy tanks! ”

More than forty tigers lined up in a long armored line at the edge of the woods. At a distance of several meters from each other, armor-piercing projectiles were fired into the weak armor of the flanks of British tanks under the condition of stationary fire.

The Tiger's 88 mm long-diameter gun was so powerful that even the M26 Pershing, the strongest of the Allied forces, could penetrate the front armor at a distance of several hundred meters. Not to mention that the tanks of the British at this time were exposing their weak flanks to the guns of the Ming army.

However, in less than ten minutes, more than 100 tanks of the British Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment were surrounded and annihilated. The infantry that accompanied the tank attack also suffered heavy losses, and only a few were able to escape this human purgatory.

But that's not the end of it. British intelligence concluded that the Ming army had a large number of high-frequency radio waves in Croydon, less than a kilometer behind the town of Mitchum, on the basis of radio interception, and therefore believed that it was at least a command structure above the level of the Ming army. It may even be the front-line command of the Ming army.

Therefore, the British threw a large number of forces into the attack in the direction of Croydon. Behind the Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment was a large number of troops who followed into battle.

However, the real reason is that this is just a trick played by the Ming intelligence department.

Because of the help of the moles within the British, the Ming army knew about the British counterattack plan early. Therefore, the Daming intelligence department deployed a large number of radio stations in the Croydon area for meaningless use. Camouflage: It was an important command stronghold to attract the attention of the British.

In fact, Croydon was just the headquarters of the Ming Army's 2nd Panzer Division, and the powerful 2nd Panzer Division deployed a net near Croydon to encircle and annihilate the British troops. The scam was even successful to the point of defrauding the British air force as well.

A large number of British fighters taking off from the northern regions of England and Wales withstood the continuous encirclement and suppression of the Ming army's jet fighter groups, and after paying the loss of hundreds of fighters, a large number of bombs were still in the area near Croydon, trying to destroy the Ming army's headquarters and important commanding officers.

However, their biggest achievement was only a deputy director of logistics of the Second Armored Division of the Ming Army, and an army colonel. Except for some logistical supplies and radio stations left by the intelligence department, the Ming army did not have any excessive losses. However, the British air force paid the price of more than 400 fighters for this attack. The wreckage of the crashed British fighter plane can be seen almost everywhere in the vicinity of Croydon.

After the air attack, the ground offensive of the British resumed.

Because it has been colonized by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty has already deeply influenced everything of the British in all aspects. The army is the top priority, and the British army wants to copy almost everything from the Ming army. Even when eating, you can learn how to fight without fighting.

When the time came to 12 o'clock in the afternoon, both sides stopped shelling and attacking almost at the same time. Cooks drove food trucks to various positions to bring delicious meals to the officers and soldiers on the front line. Even if the distance between the two sides is less than a kilometer at this moment, it is almost impossible for them to attack each other.

This kind of thing is almost impossible to happen on the Europa battlefield, especially on the Russian battlefield. The two sides even wish that the other party couldn't even drink saliva. Every time it is time to eat, there will inevitably be a horde of cannonballs to remind each other that it is time to start the meal.

If it had been decades ago, the truce between the two sides might have dragged on until after afternoon tea. Fortunately, Zhang Cheng's military reform of the Ming army canceled all those bad habits early. Therefore. An hour later, the deafening sound of heavy shelling was again heard throughout South London.

At half past one in the afternoon, the powerful armored forces of the Prince of Wales Cavalry Guards of the British Army, the Royal Scottish Grey Cavalry Regiment, the Royal Irish Hussar Regiment, and the Royal English Dragoon Regiment again launched a powerful offensive in the direction of Mitchum.

Although all are cavalry regiments. However, after the armored revolution swept through the world's armies, these units with cavalry numbers have all been reorganized into armored units. These armoured units had about 600 tanks of all kinds, the largest armoured force the British could now assemble near London.

These armoured units were supported by infantry units such as the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, the London City Fusiliers, and the Lancashire Fusiliers. Although the numbers are all regimental-level, their real strength is almost close to the division-level establishment. The British are making a last-ditch effort.

Although the British invested heavily in troops, the Ming army apparently did not care too much. The 2nd Panzer Division did not even ask the army command for reinforcements. They believed that their own strength alone would be enough to repel the attacks of the British.

The Ming air forces, which were flying in the sky almost all the time, bombarded the British on the march. A significant part of the British army was destroyed by heavy bombardment before even reaching the battlefield. The number of British troops who were actually able to reach the battlefield was far less than their size suggested.

"Everyone's attention, aim and hit." Lin Shuo believed that the British army was the best to deal with in the war with the armies of European countries. Because they are very old-fashioned, they strictly follow the rules of war to fight. Even if they no longer have any artillery power at this time, the front-line troops are not very far from their side. But they still stopped their advance, waiting for the shelling before they began to charge.

It's not something stupid to describe. The British were joking with the lives of their officers and soldiers. (To be continued.) )
