In the face of the stupid combat methods of the British, Lin Shuo, who was on the front line, of course would not be polite to them. The Tiger tank www.biquge.info can even directly destroy armored targets 3,000 meters away in the open area, and dozens of Tiger tanks line up in battle queues to destroy the British tanks in the distance one after another with precise attacks.

In the words of a Ming army armored soldier, this is simply a target shooting.

The British shelling lasted more than ten minutes before it ended. It's not that they don't want to continue the shelling, but the Ming army's artillery counterattack and the fierce bombardment in the sky have killed them early. An army that has lost air supremacy is simply not capable of conducting large-scale operations in good weather conditions.

By the time the British Panzers, who had already been restless, rushed over with a bang, their numbers had even been reduced by half compared to when they set off!

The strength of the Tiger tank of the Ming army was undoubted, and the front armor thick to more than a hundred mm was almost impossible to penetrate. Only a small number of M26 Pershing tanks were equipped by the British who were capable of penetrating the Tiger's front armor, and they had to do so at very close range.

The Ming armourers were very familiar with the performance of British tanks, and their first target was the M26 Pershing. Because other models of tanks can hardly pose any decent threat to the Tiger.

The 2nd Armored Division of the Ming Army used the Tiger Heavy Tank Battalion commanded by Lin Shuo as a frontal blockade, and the other tanks of the 2nd Armored Division continued to flank the British armored group from near the town of Mitchum, trying to annihilate the British armored forces in one fell swoop.

Due to the lack of actual combat experience and sufficient training, the armored units of the British only carried out a very dogmatic attack according to the pre-arranged orders. The commanders of the British armored forces constantly urged their armored troops to speed up into the positions of the Ming Tiger tanks.

Because the Americans and other allies who had fought with the Ming armored forces had told the British that when they encountered the Ming Tiger tanks, the only way to destroy the Tiger was to rush around to the rear and flanks of the Tiger to attack its weak rear and flank armor.

The British, who had little actual combat experience, strictly followed the advice of their allies and constantly urged the armored troops to rush towards the more than 40 Tigers commanded by Lin Shuo. However, the Ming army is not a target vehicle used in training, they can move.

As a veteran of the battlefield, Lin Shuo has really fought from the early days of the battlefield to the present, and his rich combat experience is simply unmatched. When he found that the British were just rampage and rushed towards him without any tactical moves, Lin Shuo very calmly ordered his tank battalion to fight and retreat.

The crew members who were able to enter the Tiger Tank Battalion were veterans in the truest sense of the word, and their shooting accuracy was very high. It is common to destroy a British tank and then retreat some distance. Then stop and continue firing. Moreover, the various vehicle groups of the Ming army cooperate tacitly with each other, and they can cooperate well with each other. Able to always maintain a strong attack and damage against the British.

The Tiger Tank Battalion's front was not too far from the town of Mitchum in the rear, and after retreating some distance, they were supported by the fire of the anti-aircraft battalion and anti-tank battalion deployed by the 2nd Panzer Division in the town of Mitchum. When dozens of heavy anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns deployed by the Ming army near the town of Mitchum also joined the sniper operation, the British could no longer afford such huge losses.

The British front commanders ordered their armored units to retreat. However, by this time, the other armored units of the 2nd Armored Division of the Ming Army had been deployed in place, and the retreat of the British was cut off. The British armoured troops scattered in all directions, trying to escape this hell on earth. However, there are really not many people who can run away after being caught by the elite Second Armored Division of the Ming Army.

The fierce battle near the town of Mitchum ended before dark. The British army, which used its last reserves, tried to fight to the death, but the result was that all its last capital was lost on the battlefield.

Post-mortem statistics. In this large-scale counteroffensive, the British army suffered heavy losses in both the main attack and the feint troops. More than 2,200 tanks and armored vehicles of various types were destroyed and captured. The number of artillery pieces of various calibers, including mortars, exceeded three and a half thousand pieces. Nearly 2,000 British planes of all kinds were almost wiped out in the battlefield.

In addition to the losses of various heavy equipment, the personnel losses of the British army were very heavy. Almost all of the few well-trained elite units of the British army were engaged in this counterattack. And the number of these troops killed, wounded, captured, and self-dispersed is close to 200,000!

The defenders of London were almost swept away. The rest are basically militia forces that are not in the flow of some citizen commandos. To rely on these people to defend London would be a joke.

Faced with this situation, the British government and the royal family had no choice but to flee north to Scotland. However, because they could not save face, they issued a proclamation saying that in order not to expose the innocent citizens of London to the flames of war, they declared London an undefended city.

Da Ming did not have the slightest idea of exposing this lie in the face of this lie, and it was important to successfully take London. It doesn't matter what the British say. In this general environment at this moment, Zhang Cheng will not care about any false name.

After successfully defeating the last elite troops of the British and taking London. The British will to resist seems to have collapsed in an instant, although I didn't think the British would be strong enough to resist before.

In fact, the British were not very enthusiastic about resisting the Ming Dynasty, except that they were deeply influenced by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. From the bottom of my heart, I am unwilling to fight against the incomparably powerful Da Ming. It is also important to note that the royal family that ruled the UK at this time was not a native of England.

In the 16th century, the death of Anne, the co-king of England and Scotland, led to the end of the Stuart dynasty. In order to avoid the danger that no king might be completely annexed by the Ming Dynasty, the British Parliament invited George of the House of Hanover of Germany to inherit the British throne. That is, the British royal family is German.

Naturally, this greatly affected the loyalty of ordinary Britons to the royal family and the country. Neither the king nor the royal family are natives, so why should the people work for them? Coupled with the Ming Dynasty's constant fanning and secret provocation over the years, Britain has become a country that can still be maintained on the surface.

The reason why the British performed so badly in this war was largely because they simply did not bring out the power that truly belonged to the whole country.

As the royal family and government fled north to Scotland, the British resistance in the south collapsed almost instantly. From Ipswich to Portsmouth. From Southampton to Bristol. The whole of England was falling at a rapid pace. Most of the local defenders simply took off their uniforms, threw away their weapons and fled home. The Ming army usually only needed to drive its troops over to occupy large swaths of land.

And in many places, the Ming army was even welcomed on a large scale, with locals singing and dancing in the streets and throwing flowers. The enthusiastic girls will also take the initiative to offer fragrant kisses to the young Ming officers and soldiers who have their purses full of Huayuan and a large amount of military supplies in their pockets. Of course. As long as the boys of the Ming army were willing to pull out the money and supplies, they could naturally enjoy a wonderful night in the bedrooms of the enthusiastic girls.

After the Ming army entered the city of London, those Ming people who had not had time to escape from the London Concession at the beginning of the war were rescued.

After being held as prisoners of war for several years, it is self-evident what these people have experienced. It is natural for men to be robbed and beaten and tortured, and it is also very normal for women to be ****. After all, this is war.

That is, the powerful prestige of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years has largely shocked the British. They didn't dare to go too far with the Ming people who were arrested, and the number of Ming people who were killed was not many. Of course. These arrested people are living a miserable life.

However, when the Ming army returned to London, everything was different.

When these Ming people, who had been imprisoned and tortured for several years, were rescued, the first thing they did was to kill all the British who were in charge with the help of the army, and no one could escape the fate of death whether they surrendered or not.

There are too many stories to tell between the guards and the prisoners, and it is only natural for the Ming people, who have accumulated too much hatred, to take revenge after their own army comes. Because the royal family and the government have fled north to Scotland, and Zhang Cheng specially ordered the aviation troops to attack these people. As a result, many government officials took advantage of the opportunity to flee London.

The small fish and shrimp who could not escape were hit hard, and many were shot in the street in a trembling state. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who maintained law and order on the side were no longer surprised. They've seen too many of these things on Europa.

The brutal and bloody revenge lasted two days. The reprisals also spread from those directly to ordinary Londoners. It was only at this time that the Ming army stepped forward to maintain law and order and persuaded those who wantonly vented their anger to go back. In just two days, at least tens of thousands of people died. Hundreds of houses were burned, and the looting of silver was commonplace.

By mid-October, the Ming had deployed nearly two million troops in England. They set out from London and soon occupied Cambridge, Oxford, Cardiff, Coventry, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and other places.

By late October, the Ming Army's vanguard had reached the outskirts of Glasgow and Edinburgh. (To be continued.) )
