The Allied paratrooper surprise attack was a great success. After seizing control of the Benning and Deere Trail Passes, Lieutenant General Qin Shaoquan concentrated more than 90 percent of his airdrop troops in the small town of Hoth in forty-eight hours.

The semi-enclosed nature of the York Vale, as long as you are not unlucky enough to land on the top of the mountain, you can easily find one of the three towns near the meeting point.

The 150 British paratroopers who operated together with the Airborne Forces also played a great role, driving a few clouded leopard armored vehicles from town to town, making the local British people much less hostile to the Allied paratroopers. Instead, many Japanese paratroopers had several skirmishes with the British.

This is because the Japanese paratroopers could not tolerate anyone who had violated their fragile self-esteem, except for the Han army that defeated them.

The Han Chinese were first-class citizens, the Japanese were second-class citizens, and other countries were not allowed to enter the stream, not to mention the need for the Allies to help recover the lost territories of Britain?

This incredible view is quite marketable among Japanese soldiers. A captain of the British paratroopers intervened to mediate the conflict, but the Japanese paratroopers did not give face at all, and a colonel even severely reprimanded the British captain. Until a sergeant of the Guards Airborne Division couldn't see it anymore and scolded: "Nima, are you still gathered?" ”

"Hello! Sir, let's gather right now! The Japanese colonel stood up and bent over, "Assemble, quickly drip ......"

……

The British captain couldn't help but laugh, "Sergeant, you are the uncle, you have to go with us for the next contact." ”

The sergeant scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Don't mind, I'm just a sergeant squad leader, not even an officer." The order from above is to gather with the high-ranking man nearby, and I have to gather with the Japanese colonel! ”

"NO, NO, NO, the rank is useless, the Han Guards are all uncles! You, the sergeant, are better than me, the captain, and better than the Japanese colonel! ”

……

This kind of thing happened not less after the paratroopers joined the British battlefield, and an even more exaggerated Guards major, when he commanded a Japanese brigade in the Glasgow melee, touched the headquarters of the multinational force, and after the war, the major and the Japanese brigade were awarded first-class merits, and it became a beautiful talk within the Allied Forces.

With an army of 50,000 in hand, although he was behind enemy lines, Lieutenant General Qin Shaoquan was still full of confidence. The latest intelligence is that the US 52nd Army has been moved to the vicinity of Yorktown to wipe the fart/unit of the multinational force in Leeds.

South of Hadrian's Wall, the multinational force was in a virtual vacuum, and Penrith had only one brigade of U.S. troops. Eisenhower put down a two-headed position, but did not guard against the surprise attack of the Allied paratroopers.

The 19th and 23rd Guards Airborne Divisions crossed Cross Hill from the Benning and Deere trails, respectively, to attack Ranworthby and Penrith.

The lion and the tiger fight the tiger, all with all their might. Lieutenant General Qin was not careless just because the enemy had only one brigade. There were still hundreds of thousands of multinational troops on each side of Hadrian's Wall, and the actions of the Airborne Forces did not allow for any mistakes. The three Japanese paratrooper divisions were personally led by Qin Shaoquan and rushed north along the railway line. The U.S. 52nd Army was fighting with the Spanish Blue Army in Yorktown, and Carlisle, the first city of Hadrian's Wall, must be empty of military power.

After the Guards Airborne Division captured Penrith, it would have to face a frantic counterattack by the multinational forces, and in Lieutenant General Qin's view, it was much easier to build a defensive line in the city of Carlisle than to build a defensive belt in the field.

On 2 November, the 19th Guards Airborne Division and the 23rd Airborne Division attacked from the north to the south, and after capturing the Penrith railway station, they forced the rest of the defenders to surrender and obtained 16 M1 105 mm howitzers in the hands of American GIs.

This made Qin Shaoquan, who was short of heavy weapons, overjoyed, and the air force continuously sent transport planes to airdrop various supplies to the Penrith area. The paratroopers are not short of food or ammunition, but they lack large-caliber firepower.

The 75 mm main gun of the Warrior light tank for paratroopers does not play much role when heavy fire support is really needed, let alone those small-caliber infantry guns. What could be more enjoyable than having a platoon of heavy artillery behind the positions of paratroopers? It's just a bit of a pity, why doesn't this American military brigade have the most famous M114 heavy gun from the Americans? That 155 mm caliber is even more powerful.

Commander Qin's thoughts were laughed at by the paratroopers, this is a typical discontentment!

But facts have proved that people must first dare to think before they can have the possibility of success. It's like meeting a "queen" with a compelling aura, you don't even dare to think about it, how can you succeed?

The Allied intelligence was very accurate, and after the US 52nd Army was urgently transferred to fight the fire, the multinational force really had no time to adjust. Carlisle, an important city on the Anglo-Soviet border, was almost empty, but it had stockpiled a large amount of arms and supplies.

After effortlessly defeating a regiment of American troops left behind, Lieutenant General Qin was pleasantly surprised to find, "This...... The Americans are so polite! I'm a little embarrassed! ”

In the telegram sent to the Cambridge General Headquarters, Qin Shaoquan said with a sly voice: "Please ask the commander-in-chief to inform the Air Force to suspend airdropping supplies, the Americans are much more generous than us, and even the winter materials have been prepared, and there are even a few M100 siege guns." Jiang Shuai, let's not get this a little good! Because we don't have this thing in the Guards! Haha......"

Looking at the telegram, Jiang Yunzhi seemed to see the smug look of this thing. However, even such an important material hoarding place, the multinational force did not have time to send heavy troops to garrison it, and it can be seen from this that Eisenhower's forces are already stretched.

In order to prevent the Allied navies from attacking Edinburgh, Eisenhower deployed nearly 300,000 troops in Forth Bay, which seriously restricted the mobility of the multinational forces.

"Hehe, if you're serious, you'll lose!" Jiang Shuai's black face suddenly smiled, as bright as a black rose. And Jiang Shuai's mood is also like the flower language represented by the black rose: you are a demon, and you are all for me.

"Command ......"

The staff officer who was on hand immediately ran over and began to record.

"Order the main force of the Jingzhou Army to advance with all its strength and outflank the multinational force in Leeds City. Ordered Guan Canghai to find a random port south of Forth Bay and make a landing gesture...... No, it was ordered to send marines to land in full force. ”

"Ugh! Jiang Shuai, ...... casually Looking for a place? The staff officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel hesitated a little, questioning whether Jiang Shuai's order was wrong, but this order was a bit too ...... There is no place to find a random place in the military order!

"Well, whatever, the best landing ground on the east coast of Scotland is Forth Bay, between the south of Forth Bay and Sunderland, there is no suitable landing site at all, let Commander Guan choose it himself!"

"Oh, Jiang Shuai, that is to say, the landing of the navy is still a feint to contain the multinational forces in the Scottish region and relieve the pressure on the paratroopers of Commander Qin?" The officers who came out of the General Staff of the Imperial Army were certainly not mediocre people.

"Hmmm! Your kid's name is Chen Guang, right? Hmph, you know too much......"

Lieutenant Colonel Chen Guang shrank his neck in fright, and hurriedly stood upright, "Yes!" Jiang Shuai, please sign, I'll go to power generation! ”

"Huh!" Jiang Yunzhi took the record book, glanced at it roughly, and signed his name casually, "Go quickly!" ”

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere of the Allied General Headquarters at Fort Cambridge Gardens, at the Multinational Force Command in Edinburgh Castle, Commander-in-Chief Eisenhower was extremely annoying, "What? Carlisle was raided by the Allies? Where did the Allies come from? Is it their helicopter division? What's the horse? Paratroopers again? What is Beverly doing with that shit? Surrendered? FUCK！ ”

can make Eisenhower, who is known as a Confucian general, rude, which shows the anger in his heart.

But the course of war does not depend on the will of the individual. The battlefields of Great Britain were inherently unfair.

The Allied side has absolute sea and air superiority, and the number of ground troops far exceeds that of the multinational forces, Eisenhower was able to rely on hundreds of thousands of troops to block the Allied forces in Leeds, and three months after the start of the war, so that the Allies did not even see Hadrian's Wall, it should have been considered a very successful success!

Well, if you don't count that paratrooper unit!

Speaking from the heart, the festering situation on the battlefield in Britain was not a problem of Eisenhower's ability, nor was it the fact that the American army was not good at fighting. In this war, from the very beginning, the Allies were already invincible.

An army whose equipment and combat philosophy are still stuck in the early days of World War II cannot defeat the Han army, which has been fully modernized. Eisenhower had already done a good enough job, or even, if he could swap positions with Jiang Yunzhi and let the American general command the Allied forces, Ike might do a better job than the black-faced god of war!

"In the Battle of England, the tactics of the Allies were nothing brilliant. Yun Zhi was too obsessed with the competition for one city and one place, and fell into a back. Why should we still follow the rhythm of the US military when our military is in full superiority? If Eisenhower wants to defend Leeds, then give it to him, leaving two legions, plus the British army, to trap him for a few months. The other armies went directly north, crossed Hadrian's Wall and it was over, what kind of meat grinder? What do you think, Tianlin? ”

Weiyang Palace, Jinhua Palace.

His Majesty hugged Princess Tianning, tasted the grapes peeled by Concubine Lan Haini, and pointed to the map while giving his son His Royal Highness Tianlin military edification.

Xiao Tianlin, who had just turned three, seemed to be quite interested in this, listening to his father's words, he seemed to understand or not, but his black eyes were staring at what Zhong Yi was pointing at. Suddenly, His Highness's little hand touched the top of the map of the United Kingdom, "Daddy, I heard from my mother that the big villain is here." Then why not let Uncle Guan's navy blow it up? ”

"Huh?" Looking at the three words at the tap of Tianlin's little hand - Edinburgh, His Majesty raised his head and laughed, almost making the princess Tianning in his arms bald to the ground, so angry that Hainie snorted with a flat mouth, "Hmph, patriarchal, eccentric!" ”
