. Chapter 1081: War in Southeast Asia (1)

After the German Führer Hitler gave the order to relaunch the attack, Battle, who commanded a tank division, became the only division-sized unit to launch a rapid attack on the Anglo-French forces surrounded in the port of Dunkirk in the shortest possible time, when the vast majority of German troops were not ready.

The First Panzer Army was put into the battlefield, which led to the offensive of the entire Army Group A, and finally led all the German troops to be thrown into the encirclement and annihilation of the British and French forces.

The initiation of the campaign was driven by a division commander of Battle, who was destined to become a dazzling star on the battlefield, at this time, the good character of the German ** team was fully reflected, and after the initial hectic situation, it gradually formed an orderly attack, pressing the space of the British and French forces from three sides step by step, and by the evening of the same day, the iron wall was formed, and there was no gap in the encirclement.

After all, with a division of armored troops, in the face of more than 400,000 British and French soldiers, "ants bite elephants", the commander of the group army, General Guderian, immediately ordered the "Lightning" armored assault division to leave the battlefield, joking, this is the person that the Führer takes special care of, and he is his most powerful subordinate, if there is an accident, he cannot explain to the Führer, nor can he make himself feel at ease.

Moreover, Battle's mission had been accomplished, and it was obviously inappropriate to plunge such a miraculous division commander and his troops into this melee, whether for the purpose of loving Battle or for other reasons, Guderian had to do so.

Battle did not hesitate to carry out the order of the commander of the group army, the goal has been achieved, driving all the German troops to attack, Qiu Lige's order has been completed, Battle is not a fool, there is no need to be brave, see the good and accept it, how many British and French soldiers his division has killed, not the goal, to drive the German troops to attack, is the task assigned by Qiu Lige.

Battle was riding a tank that stopped outside the headquarters of Army Group A when it was removed from Commander-in-Chief von Battle. Field Marshal Rhodes to all the officers of the headquarters, warmly greeted the young division commander with a welcome heroic attitude, and Battle jumped out of the tank lightly, "Report to Your Excellency Marshal, the commander of the Lightning Assault Division of the 1st Panzer Army, Battle, is ordered to come!" ”

Feng. Marshal Rhodes looked at Battle with a smile on his face and said, "Young man, do you know? You have created a miracle of the German ** team, a division commander in his twenties, commanded all the German ** teams, I have reported the situation to His Excellency the Führer, I am sure that your cousin will be duly rewarded. ”

Battle in his heart, to von. Marshal Rhodes's praise was not very impressed, "If it weren't for Brother Qiuli's order, I wouldn't have done such a risky thing to outnumber, and I have no reason to throw my head and spill my blood for the Germans," he thought in his heart, but he said, "It is my honor to be willing to serve the Third Reich and be affirmed by His Excellency the Marshal!" ”

The "Lightning" armored division immediately withdrew to the rear to rest, and the troops were always immersed in great joy; this matter, done brilliantly and beautifully, among hundreds of thousands of troops, came out on top, according to the practice of the German ** team, officers at all levels were promoted to military ranks, and soldiers received rich bonuses could not run, and this qiē was all due to this Chinese.

At night, the Germans formed a powerful artillery cluster with thousands of artillery and tank guns of various calibers, and from three directions, carried out all-round coverage and indiscriminate shelling of the British and French soldiers who were crowded on the beach of Dunkirk and waiting to board the ship.

In the light of the explosion of the shells, the corpses of the British and French soldiers were thrown high, and all the facilities of the port of Dunkirk were destroyed in this shelling, which was a one-sided massacre, and the beach by the sea became a slaughterhouse, and the mutilated bodies of the British and French soldiers floated on the surface of the sea with the waters of the English Channel.

Blood stained the beach and sea water, all kinds of ships docked at the beachhead, became a blazing torch, according to the captured British and French soldiers later recalled, this was a purgatory-like night, on the bare beach, there was no place to hide, we could only lie helplessly on the beach, watching the shells fall like meteors, listening to the shells around us one after another, secretly praying, God bless!

The dirt lifted up covered the broken corpses of the soldiers, and when a cannonball fell, it was a blink of an eye, and the partners who were still together just now became a pile of minced meat, and the stirred up sand mixed with the fragments of the corpses of their companions, smashed on their bodies and faces, and they couldn't tell whether it was the blood flowing from their own bodies or the blood of their comrades splashed on their bodies, anyway, they were covered in blood.

By dawn, the area of more than 10 square kilometers of Dunkirk had been covered by the corpses of the British and French troops, and this night, the German artillery group did not stop shelling, hundreds of thousands of shells, and every inch of land and beach in Dunkirk within the scope of the shelling was plowed over and over again, making it a desolate storage like the moon.

Once the decision was made, the German attack was fierce and fierce, and there was no hand left on the enemy, after the shelling stopped, the German army took the armored forces as the lead and pressed to the central area of Dunkirk, the British and French troops were knocked out of all their spirits, and the only thing left was cold despair, the commander-in-chief of the British expeditionary force, Admiral Adelley, and the commander-in-chief of the French ** team, Admiral Shelson, jointly sent a letter of surrender to the German ** team.

The last battle of the European continent ended with a complete victory for the German army, in this battle, the German army with more than 300,000 troops, encircled more than 400,000 troops of the British and French troops who retreated to the port of Dunkirk, of which, about 100,000 people were annihilated, more than 300,000 surrendered, the commander-in-chief of the British army, Admiral Attlee, the commander-in-chief of the French army, and more than 200 officers with the rank of major general, more than 200 people, lined up, with more than 300,000 dejected soldiers, into the German prisoner of war camp.

The German Army, has achieved a brilliant record that can be recorded in the history of Germany, the flag of 10,000 characters fluttering on the European continent, it seems that God also intends to show the Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Goering's ugliness, just the day after the end of the Battle of Dunkirk, the English Channel, which has been cloudless, the clouds and fog dispersed, and the sun was shining.

Goering, who was blowing loudly in the cowhide, only stared at the victory of the army with jealous eyes, and he himself quietly became the laughing stock of the German world, but this imperial marshal who is used to being in the limelight is not a person who is good at reflecting on himself, and he will still take credit in the next air battle of Great Britain.

Britain and France on the European continent, the last main force, the whole army was annihilated in Dunkirk, which had a profound impact on the future European battlefield, France was defeated and surrendered, Britain was greatly injured, was broken backbone, Germany's two strong opponents, one dead and one wounded, as a result, on the European continent, the Germans only had the Soviet Union as the only opponent, Hitler's ecstasy, from his enthusiastic telegram to Tang Qiuli, is undoubtedly expressed.

Tang Qiuli, the driving force behind the collapse of the Anglo-French coalition, immediately relaxed after receiving the telegram from the German Führer Hitler, and finally did not waste his efforts in vain, and changed the established historical trend, and from then on, the pattern of the world war will undergo fundamental changes, and next, it will be the turn of the Japanese to make moves in Southeast Asia.

Sure enough, after the end of the Battle of Dunkirk in the European theater, it was only a week, and the Japanese, who had been waiting for the results of the European theater, couldn't wait to do it.

On 23 April, Senior General Ito Yanzaburo, commander-in-chief of Japan's Southeast Asian Dispatch Force, issued operational orders to all units under his command, and at the same time, the Japanese Navy's First and Third Fleets also appeared in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand at the same time under the pretext of cruising.

Alexander, commander-in-chief of the British forces in Southeast Asia, was not at all wary of this, not only opened all ports to the Japanese navy, but also ordered the commander of the British forces in Singapore to give the Japanese allies as much help as possible.

It is impossible for the British army not to notice that in addition to the Japanese warships, there are also a large number of civilian ships transporting infantry, and freighters loaded with weapons, ammunition, and equipment, frequently crossing the Strait of Malacca and heading for the Andaman Sea. It is really the strangest phenomenon in the history of world warfare.

In the early morning of the same day, the Japanese army divided into two routes, launching a surprise attack on the port city of Yangon in southern Burma and the city of Bangkok in southern Thailand, and the war in Southeast Asia officially broke out.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, dozens of warships of the Japanese Navy's First Fleet began shelling the port of Yangon, and at the same time, all the warships of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet also began shelling the coastal city of Simp in southern Thailand.

By about 6 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army units began to land in two places, among them, the Japanese troops attacking the direction of Rangoon, with the 21st Division as the vanguard, under the cover of naval guns and bombers, took the lead in breaking through the beachhead of the British army, and by about 8 o'clock in the morning, they had already entered the city of Rangoon and started street fighting with the British troops.

After learning the news of the Japanese army's move in Burma and Thailand, Tang Qiuli, the commander of the independent division in Tengchong, just said lightly, "It's a good thing that it's finally done!" ”
