On May 19, 1940, the port of Dunkirk was burning.

Nowadays, it is the Germans who control this seaside bay port city in the sense of dà.

As early as two o'clock in the morning of the 18th, the city was captured by the 1st SS Marine Division, which had ventured to seize the beach by sea by the German Navy. On the afternoon of the 18th, he joined forces with the armored group commanded by Guderian, who was rapidly advancing on land.

Unlike history, when the French battle broke out in this plane, the German navy already had a certain degree of sea supremacy, unlike the original history, which was suppressed by the British and French navies and did not dare to come out.

At the beginning of the French campaign, the naval task force, led by two Shane-class battleships that had been repaired and maintained, attacked again. When Guderian's armored group approached Dunkirk, the German navy also forced a landing force of more than 6,000 people to the beach at Dunkirk by means of Guò warships.

The warships that stormed the beach were the Schleswig and Silesia, two former dreadnoughts left over from before the First World War, which had long been dilapidated. These two old ships played their final role at a critical moment in the French campaign. Before the war, the two ships were renovated by the shipyard, dismantled a large number of useless parts to reduce their weight, and then filled them with personnel, and took advantage of the high tide to force their beaching in the early morning of the 18th. In addition to these two old ships, he was joined by two other specially built shallow-bottomed boats.

At that time, the Anglo-French army in Dunkirk had less than one battalion of troops, and it was simply unable to withstand the fierce artillery fire of the beach-grabbing troops. This port city in the north of France fell to the Germans with ease.

By the 17th, the Anglo-French forces were facing a rout on all fronts because they had been copied by the German Army Group A that had been slaughtered from the Ardennes Mountains.

Eighteen British divisions, twenty French divisions. A total of nearly 400,000 horses galloped towards the sea with their legs. However, due to the pressure of the Dutch at a critical moment, the German Army acquiesced to the German Army's request for a "neutral tongguò", and the German Army Group B, attacking from the northern front, progressed faster than it had historically.

Hannah and Lin Han, who knew the history of World War II, did not stop Guderian's offensive speed, and they gave Guderian only one order: attack. Advance, attack again, it's not enough to see the sea, you have to occupy all the port cities and coastlines by the sea!

At this time, the Anglo-French army had long since collapsed itself, and the biggest enemy standing in front of Gudery's armored assault group was the problem of logistics supply and the disconnection between infantry and armored forces. (In fact, during the Battle of Dunkirk in history, Guderian's tank division was out of touch with the infantry because the attack speed was too fast.) When faced with such a situation, it is natural for any commander to stop and avoid going alone. In this plane, because Guderian's tank divisions were stronger, their advance was faster, and although they were close to Dunkirk, the problem of their disconnection from the infantry was even more severe.

However, unlike in history, this Guderian was supported by the sea.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the campaign action. On the 15th, the sister ships of Lin Han and Hannah set out late at night. The British coastline was bombarded, and on the 16th, Lin Han led a formation of fast cruisers to attack in the middle of the night, using naval guns and 380 mm rocket artillery to bombard the British coastal port cities again. With the help of this series of provocative actions. The attention of the British navy, which had recovered part of its strength, was drawn to the mainland.

On 18 May, the German navy, led by Linhan and Hannah, carried out a risky sortie, and at the cost of two old former dreadnoughts and three shallow-bottomed cargo ships storming the beach at Dunkerke, not only half a step ahead of Guderian, but also seized the place half a step ahead of Guderian. 6,000 marines and a batch of supplies were sent to Dunkirk, and after meeting with Guderian's armored forces advancing at high speed, the German Army "basically" locked the possibility of the British and French forces escaping from Dunkirk by sea.

The basic word is used because on the 18th, on the Belgian front, there were eighteen British divisions and twenty French divisions, totaling more than 350,000 troops, fleeing like defeated dogs in the direction of Dunkirk.

At this time, the German army in Dunkirk had only one marine division of less than 6,000 men, and a tank and a half armored division, with 160 tanks on hand. The total strength is only more than 13,000 people. That is, the strength equivalent of a strengthened mechanized tank infantry division.

As the role of aviation weapons against ships became more and more obvious, it was extremely dangerous for the British and German navies to send large warships into the English Channel to fight unless they could obtain 100 percent absolute air supremacy. Therefore, at the time of this operation, the warships dispatched by the German Navy, except for the few ships that decided to rush to the beach and sink and abandon, the rest were light, nimble, and extremely fast destroyers.

As early as the day before, on May 17, the British government had foreseen that the total defeat of France was a foregone conclusion, and the wartime cabinet instructed the Admiralty to draw up a plan to organize the retreat of the expeditionary force, codenamed "Dynamo".

It was only when the British government reacted that the German navy once again took the lead, and the navy went out overnight to seize Dunkirk one step ahead, and the vanguard of Guderian's tank group, under the constant whipping of Lin Han and Hannah, advanced frantically regardless of the situation, and cooperated by sea and land, and seized the port of Dunkirk on the 18th.

In the face of the 35 British and French troops who were already trapped and frantically fleeing in the direction of the sea, it was really difficult for more than 10,000 people to completely block the 20-kilometer-long coastline of the Dunkirk area. However, in this race to the sea, the German side took control of the strategic point of Dunkirk port in advance and forcibly drove a nail here, and it had already taken the lead.

At five o'clock in the morning of the 18th, Churchill, who was sleeping in the Prime Minister's Office, was urgently woken up by a secretary, and he was shocked when he learned that Dunkirk had been attacked by German marines from the sea and was close to falling.

Churchill knew very well what it meant for Britain to lose here.

The British government soon ordered the navy and air force to go together, asking them to help the land forces retake Dunkirk at any cost.

The port city in the northeast of France, near the border with Belgium, has been the focus of attention of all Europe and the world since the 18th.

On this day, from the sky to the earth to the ocean, the whole of Dunkirk burned.
