The City of Wrath Southampton!

The news of the slaughter of 33 Britons quickly spread throughout Southampton in various ways, and the anger in the hearts of the British was fully mobilized. Even those British, who had not had a strong will to resist before, finally stood firmly on the side of the "Free Army" at this time.

The whole city was mobilized. Every Englishman has been transformed into a strongest warrior at this moment.

This is the last thing Americans or Canadians want to see. The turmoil in the whole city made it impossible for them to devote all their energy to the war. The entire Canadian 52nd Infantry Division was involved in Southampton.

Dontanner was a little panicked, he never thought that things would actually develop to this point. But now there is no room for recovery.

The rain never stopped, and even this could not stop the pace of the Axis army's war.

Romeo, who had suffered a setback in the previous day's battle, has received a new reinforcement - the "Skeleton Lancers" of the SS Skeleton Division! The troops under the command of Major Stroop have already shown amazing combat effectiveness in previous battles, and they have every chance of becoming an important pawn in the decisive outcome of the war.

Moreover, better intelligence is starting to come out that Southampton has undergone significant changes and civil unrest is taking place in the city. The Allied forces were greatly stripped of their energy, and the only force they could use on the front line was an American armored division.

Major Romeo and Stroop knew that Baron Alexon in the city was wielding his enormous, unimaginably incomprehensible influence.

There was no break in the attack. It broke out almost immediately. Countless German soldiers and Her Majesty's soldiers stabbed straight towards Southampton like sharp arrows. Everyone understands that the time for the decisive battle has come. This will be the best opportunity they can face!

Dontanner couldn't care about that much anymore. The only thing he had to think about now was how to get through this difficult day, how to continue to be a hero of the Allies today! Frank and the Canadians he commanded were out of sight, but thankfully he had a reserve force:

Major General Bacchus and the 6th Army Division under his command.

Although Bacchus had been there to emphasize that his 6th Division was also under attack, it was clear that the 6th Division was not in such a difficult position. The order to move troops was quickly conveyed to Bacchus.

"Dontanner is in a hurry, isn't he?" Wang Weiyi always had this smile on his face: "What does this mean? This shows that the situation is far more optimistic than we thought. General Bacchus, it seems to me that the time for action has come. ”

Bacchus instantly became excited.

Anyone with a modicum of sanity could see that Dontanner was already reezing for breath by this time. With the arrival of more and more Axis troops and the unrest that spread throughout Southampton, Dontanner had no way back.

And at this time. Whoever can achieve more victories will have more power to speak in the future British government!

Bacchus hopes he can do that.

"Launch a surprise attack on the flank of the US military!" Wang Weiyi carefully looked at the map of Southampton on the wall: "Without the slightest reservation, put the 6th Division into the battlefield." The movements must be quick and swift, without giving Dontanner any time to breathe. At the same time order our troops, and do not spare a single soldier for offensive attacks! ”

The people around me were in high spirits. The time for Armageddie has finally arrived!

The 6th Division quickly began to move. Within 20 minutes of Lieutenant Colonel Moyol's order to fight, his leading unit quickly began to move to the designated location. And the actions of the British soon attracted the attention of Dontanner as well.

Either way, Dontanner was a commander with a lot of combat experience, and the unusual movement of a unit always caught his attention. And judging from the trajectory of the 6th Division's advance, it is definitely not here to reinforce the American army.

"What are you doing there, General Bacchus?" On the phone, Dontanner's tone was very harsh.

Bacchus knew very well that this was absolutely impossible to hide, and he smiled: "General Dontanner, I'm an Englishman, am I?" ”

I'm British. Is it? When Bacchus said this, Dontanner knew that everything was over. But he still retains a trace of fantasy in his heart. He controlled the anger in his heart, and tried to make his tone sound softer: "General Bacchus, you must understand the responsibility on your shoulders, and you must understand the trust that President Fenton has in you......"

"Of course I understand my responsibility." Bacchus replied very calmly: "This responsibility is the trust given to me by Her Majesty the Queen...... I don't think I'm going to be blamed for military honor or loyalty, but I don't care. As we speak, I think my troops have begun to attack. ”

With a "boom", when Bacchus put down the phone, the 6th Division's attack on the American army officially began!

This is something that all Americans did not expect - the British, who were used as general reserves, actually mutinied!

The 6th Division was too familiar with everything Southampton, they knew where the weak points of the American defenses were, and they knew better how to attack. And for the Americans, led by Don Tanner, the situation has reached a step out of control.

On the front, the increasingly powerful Axis forces, and behind them, the British, who were all over the city against the Americans—including the 6th Division commanded by Bacchus!

The U.S. military units, which were originally in order, fell into terrible chaos in a short period of time...... After the attack of the 6th Division began, the US F Company was quickly annihilated, and there was not a single survivor in the entire company.

"In the name of Her Majesty the Queen—attack!"

This sentence resounded in Southampton, and resounded in the streets. It rang in the ears of every Englishman who took part in the uprising......

"I think we're about to be finished." That was the only thing General Dontanner could say. The whole city was filled with rebellious British, and a few minutes earlier he had received another news that he was even more reluctant to hear: the main forces of the German Waffen-SS SS Skull Division had all arrived on the battlefield!

He reported to General Gandra, commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in England. Including the uprising in Southampton and the mutiny of the 6th Division. And his report was like a hammer slamming down on General Gandra's head. As the commander-in-chief, he didn't know what to do.

"General Dontanner, I hope you and your soldiers will understand the importance of Southampton to the war for England as a whole......" General Gandra reached this point and could only say what he had repeated countless times: "Even if there is a glimmer of hope, you must not give up Southampton!" I'll try to order reinforcements to arrive as quickly as possible. ”

"I think by the time reinforcements arrive, all I'll be able to see is my body......" Dontanner put down the phone in despair.

What can't be given up until the last moment, and what reinforcements arrive as soon as possible is simply bullshit. After the Axis forces launched an attack on Easton, the Allies were in disarray. Everywhere there was a movement of troops, and at this time, the Axis army, which was dominated by French troops. The second battlefield was quickly opened:

Portsmouth!

Yes, Portsmouth, the landing battlefield originally imagined by the Allies. Now, a large number of troops here have been urgently withdrawn. Respond to unexpected battles. Just when the Portsmouth military port was weakened, those damned Frenchmen appeared!

Perhaps the Allies did not take the fighting power of the French army into account before, but at this special time, the French army may even become a decisive force that determines the outcome of the war.

Moreover, the offensive of the underground resistance groups that broke out one after another in various places also involved a large number of Allied troops, and the reinforcements that were supposed to be sent to Southampton were the best example at this time. So, where are the reinforcements that General Gandra is talking about?

The promise of the moon in the mirror can be made by everyone......

"General, the position of C Company has been completely breached. The enemy's offensive was very strong. I think we'll have three hours at most. ”

"Three hours, three hours." Dontanner muttered, "Order." The troops on all fronts shrank their forces. At the same time, let General Frank build a defense on the spot, and I think that soon street fighting will break out. ”

Street fighting, in many cases, is a means of killing and injuring the dominant force, but in Southampton it is clearly inappropriate. The insurgents everywhere in Southampton will become the eyes of the Axis forces, but what about the Allies? They will be hit here and there.

But Dontanner couldn't do anything better......

"General, can you consider retreating?"

Listening to the adjutant's cautious suggestion, Dontanner smiled bitterly: "Of course I want to retreat, but it's too late." The 6th Division had blocked our retreat and, more importantly, Southampton, if lost so easily, would have brought ruin to the entire British war. ”

The adjutant said no more. In fact, General Dontanner at this time is sending a strong message: they have lost all hope!

At 1 p.m., the Axis forces finally stormed Southampton, and the Allies turned to full-scale passive street fighting. And just as General Dontanner had feared, the British in Southampton became the eyes of the Axis armies – their guides!

Dontanner discarded all illusions, and among the orders he gave to his subordinates was only one requirement: all men must fight to the death until the last moment, and surrender was not allowed unless all hopes were cut off. And in order to express his firm determination, he set up his headquarters in the city hall with a very obvious goal.

From this point of view, Dontanner is completely wounded, and the word "brave" can be expressed......

．．．．．．

"Marshal Ernst, allow me to accept my respect!" Major Stroop raised his hand and bowed to Ernst Brown, who appeared in front of him. Bram made a most standard gesture: "Long live - Marshal Ernst!" ”

This legendary magical baron, this marshal who has won a hundred battles on the battlefield, stands in front of Major Stroop at this moment. Major Stroop, who had never been afraid on the battlefield, suddenly found himself in such a nervous mood at this time.

"I must also express my respect for you." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "You have performed very well, Major Stroop. I've heard that you've successfully defeated the U.S. Army's ace unit, the Scarlet Rose, and I don't think I could have done more than you did. ”

Major Stroop's mood was even more excited, and he wished that more people would hear the baron's praise for him.

"And you. Colonel Romeo. Wang Weiyi set his eyes on Romeo: "When I first met you in Berlin, you were a recruit who had never been on the battlefield, but now you have grown into a qualified commander. I think Her Majesty will be proud of you. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency." Romeo's mood was exactly the same as that of Major Stroop: "I have never forgotten what you said to me, and without you, I think I would probably still be a recruit who doesn't know anything." ”

Wang Weiyi smiled: "Okay, put away these compliments we have to each other...... We're already in Southampton though. But the battle is far from over. Americans and Canadians are still resisting stubbornly. Gentlemen, completely cut off the connection between Americans and Canadians before dark. ”

"Yes." Several commanders replied loudly in unison.

At this time, they were well aware of the Baron's intentions, and the 52nd Division of the Canadian Army would be the first to be eliminated. The force that wreaked havoc in Southampton will soon be completely overwhelmed by the flames of the City of Fury......

．．．．．．

The battle was going exactly according to Wang Weiyi's ideas. With the entry of the 9th division of the Wehrmacht. The 1st Division of the Royal Army and the "Skeleton Lancers" began to focus their main efforts on the offensive against the 52nd Division of the Canadian Army.

Frank could no longer count on reinforcements from the Americans, and Dontanner's situation was not much better than that of Frank.

The swarming forces launched a wave of attacks on the Canadians, and the layers of soldiers and armored vehicles that poured up made every battle so difficult for the Canadians. And the ordinary British people. They offered all possible assistance to the Queen's Army.

"Catch Frank. Let him be judged fairly! This phrase still keeps coming out of the mouths of the British.

They couldn't stand the massacre of the British by a foreigner, and what they couldn't stand even more was that this foreigner was from Canada! This is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, Queen Elizabeth II is the head and symbol of the country, and now they have joined in the massacre of the British, which has dealt a heavy blow to the pride of the British people.

They must be taught a heavy lesson, and they must be taught how to deal with the distinguished citizens of England. Therefore, in such a state of mind, the fighting enthusiasm of the British was amazing.

Frank also knew that he could not fall into the hands of the British under any circumstances, otherwise he would be greeted with a very tragic end. Even if he fights to the extreme, he must fight to the end!

Frank, who was standing on the ground, saw a very horrific scene through his telescope: two captured Canadian soldiers. He was being beaten by a group of British civilians. It seemed that these Britons were venting their anger from the bodies of two Canadian soldiers.

It's horrible, it's really horrible. Frank sees. Two of his own subordinates were still dodging at first, but gradually lost this ability. They lay motionless on the ground, and the beating of the British had no intention of stopping.

These two Canadian soldiers were beaten to death like this!

Frank closed his eyes in despair...... God, if you fall into the hands of those Englishmen, you will be beaten to death......

"General, our left flank has been broken through!"

"General, Major Marul is dead."

One bad news after another reached Frank's ears, but he could do nothing about it, and all he could give was three words: "Know the way."

"Knowing the way"? Frank suddenly felt so sad that a general, the supreme commander of a unit, could only give such an order at such a time? This will make you a laughing stock, and it will make you saddled with infamy.

He received a call from Dontanner, and without even Dontanner asking, Frank took the initiative to speak: "There is no hope, there is no hope, my position will soon be broken through by the enemy, and I think all of us will die." ”

"General Frank, I'm in a similar situation here as yours are. If it is really impossible to hold out, then surrender to our enemies. ”

There was a bit of desolation in Frank's voice: "Anyone can surrender, but only I can." I saw with my own eyes how the British treated us, and I would have been beaten to death by them. I can accept the fate of death, but I can't accept such humiliation. So at the last moment, I will end my mission with a bullet. ”

"Well, I guess I can only wish you the best of luck." Dontanner was silent for a long time before he said, "It won't be long before we meet, not on the battlefield, of course. General Frank, do you think we will go to heaven or hell? ”

"I don't know what to do, but I'm going to hell." Frank said this self-deprecatingly.

Yes, Frank can be sure that he will find his place in hell at this time! (To be continued......)
