81_81266The weather in the UK cannot always be sunny, and naturally it cannot always be cloudy, after several days of cloudy winds, the sun appeared in the sky again, and the weather in the British Isles finally turned cloudy and clear.

The terrifyingly large group of German Butcher strategic bombers arrived as scheduled and appeared over Britain, dropping hundreds of tons of bombs in various areas. Numerous Stuka bombers and Stuka 2 bombers repeatedly assaulted the positions of the British defenders, easily blowing up the positions of the British defenders into a sea of fire.

The haze and wind, which the German soldiers called "Churchill weather", disappeared, so the German aircraft carrier fleet once again flaunted its might, the landing ground was once again unimpeded, and the German fleet, which was fully transported, replenished the forces of Army Group A with tens of thousands of men.

Frederick's rocket launchers, restocked with ammunition, roared again, and the British soldiers finally realized an old Chinese proverb: Feng Shui takes turns. Their artillery was destroyed by the Stukka, their positions were torn apart by German panzergrenadiers, and their lives were crushed into mud by German tank tracks.

Montgomery's forces suffered successive setbacks on the entire front, the German forces had regrouped Bunge, and a large number of German troops appeared in the Lostoft area, and it was clear that the German Army Group A at this time was not only using some kind of conspiracy, but they were only trying to take advantage of the most powerful sea and air superiority to take this important port city from the British defenders.

In fact, Lostoft is not a large port city, but it is obvious that for the small port cities such as Bacton and Wells in the hands of the German army, Loostoft can be regarded as a very large port.

The important thing is that Lostoft is closer to the Netherlands and Belgium, and the German transport routes will be greatly shortened, so that the German troops landing in Britain will be replenished more quickly, and the life of the British defenders will be more difficult.

The British commanders did not seem to be able to think of a more difficult situation: Germany had taken control of four military airfields in the landing area, more than 400 Luftwaffe fighters of various types had been deployed to British territory, the Luftwaffe had provided more timely and accurate support, and bombed Britain more intensively.

The 230,000 German troops have landed on the British mainland, and the British can now use about 300,000 native troops -- you must know that most of the elite troops that Britain can fight have entered the prisoner of war camp in Dunkirk, and the troops who have fled back to the homeland plus the original reserves can only fight about 100,000 people, and after so many days of hard fighting, the number of British troops of 100,000 people is now only about 50,000.

And the remaining 250,000 so-called British soldiers, most of whom had not even been on the battlefield for a day, fired five shots at the target in the rear, and then marched to the front line as "recruits" for drill training.

In fact, Montgomery had already experienced the last thing Montgomery wanted to see on the British front, and almost all the commanders of the newly formed 24th Division of the British army were appointed temporarily, and the entire unit was almost entirely recruited. The unit faced the German 5th Light Panzer Division head-on at Thetford, and in just 45 minutes of the battle, the British lost 2,100 soldiers and 3,800 were captured. As a result, the entire defensive line collapsed, and Thetford became a front-line city exposed to the Germans.

It is difficult to assess the combat effectiveness of such temporary replenishment units, and sometimes these units will be quite tenacious, and although their combat capability cannot catch up with the main force, it can be completely described by the word improvisation; and sometimes these units will collapse at the touch of a button, and their combat effectiveness will be almost the same as that of the National Day parade, which makes the front-line commanders extremely helpless.

What Montgomery could do was to break up as many new units as possible within his purview, to fill them into the existing combat units, and to maintain as much as possible the operational level of each combat unit in his hands.

This really cannot be blamed on the confusion and ignorance of the British troop replenishment, but the group of officials and men in the rear were a little confused by the urging and persecution of the king and the prime minister. His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister don't listen to what you say, how many additional troops are being filled into the existing combat units, they are only concerned with the size of the British troops.

In fact, it was a self-consolation in a state of madness, and just as Hitler was unwilling to admit that his troops had been wiped out before he committed suicide, Churchill was now unwilling to admit that the British front-line troops were on the verge of collapse. The most common thing he asks every day is how many divisions of troops have been formed, and where they have been deployed after they have been replenished to the front.

In the Prime Minister's Operational Intelligence Command, there are already 71 divisions of combat troops on the British map - it stands to reason that the total strength of the British army should now be at least 900,000 or more, but the reality is that the British troops have only been able to maintain a floating force of about 300,000.

The reason is that in the supplementary report to Prime Minister Churchill, Britain has formed 31 new divisions of combat units, but these newly formed "combat units" were all "dissatisfied divisions" of about 7,000 people at the beginning, and later became 4,500 people, and later were compressed to 3,000 people, and even later, the British Independent 69th Division only had 1,500 people, which was about the same size as a regiment, and the independent 70th Division was sent to the front line without even 1,400 people.

This can be imagined to see what the combat effectiveness of Britain's front-line combat units has declined, and it is also conceivable how important the more than 30,000 British elites that Montgomery is now holding in his hands.

However, with the arrival of February 23, this qiē has changed. After hard street fighting, the Germans finally captured the first large port city of Lostoft, the 20,000 British defenders of Great Yarmouth finally surrendered without a fight, the Bunge defenders also announced that they had given up resistance a few hours later, and only three days after Prime Minister Churchill's famous speech "From Bunge to Great Yarmouth", the inspiring victory of Bunge and the recovery of Great Yarmouth became a resounding slap in the face of British dignitaries.

The distraught King of England removed Montgomery from his position as commander-in-chief of the front and ordered Lord Gort to take command again LinkedIn the country's front-line troops, immediately counterattack the Germans, and recapture all British territory.

As a result, the British counterattack lasted only two hours before it was forced to go on the defensive, and the British troops who had lost their elite were completely collapsed in the face of the German attack that followed, and on February 24 alone, they lost the central defensive town of Thetford and the transportation hub of Erie in succession. On 25 February, Newmarket was captured by the Germans, and the German front-line forces were approaching Cambridge, an important city north of London.

On 26 February, the troops of German Army Group A captured Aldeburg, and then the British counterattack at Berry Saint-Edmunds was thwarted by the German 2nd Panzer Division, and on 27 February, the German flag was planted at the heads of Berry Saint-Edmonds and Stormage. The British defenders in Ipswich then surrendered, but the street fighting did not officially end until 1 March, when the German attacking forces were attacked by British civilians for the first time, and Ipswich was then massacred by the Germans in retaliation, with up to 7,000 civilian casualties.

Felixstowe was then occupied by the Germans, and the British port city of Harwich was blocked by the German-controlled Felixstowe shore artillery because of the distance, and Sudbury then surrendered to the German armored forces, and the British defenders barely stabilized their line near the river south of Sudbury, relying on the embankment to establish a relatively solid defensive system.

The Germans had established a solid line along the Ouse River in the western defensive zone, while they were also confronted by the British in the south, with the famous English city of Cambridge in the middle of the two river lines. Everyone knew that as long as the Germans captured Cambridge, they would be able to hit Harlow, the northern gateway of London, England, along the railway road, and then London would be completely in the possession of the German Army Group A.

Losing troops and losing cities and territories on the front line one after another, the King of England and Churchill were even more dissatisfied with Gort than Montgomery, but at this moment Montgomery was already on his way to Canada by boat, and it was too late to recall.

So a little-known British veteran, Willis, was ordered to take over the front-line command of the British defenders. As soon as the veteran took office, he clarified his combat thinking, that is, to stick to it until the end of the world. He abandoned all plans for counterattacks and ordered the British defenders to begin arranging their defenses on the spot and set about building a solid defensive system.

But at such a critical juncture, a negotiator approached the anxious British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and submitted a so-called "sovereignty claim" that Churchill wanted to turn the table, hoping that Britain could give up its control of Northern Ireland and understand Ireland's demand for independence.

Although Ireland's national strength was not eye-catching at the peak of the United Kingdom, and the island of Ireland was also regarded by the United Kingdom as half of its own back garden, but now that the British tiger has fallen into the shallows, the knife stabbed out of the back is a bit fatal in it. At this time, the British government really realized that its side was far from being a real monolith, and the real killer tricks of the German government were revealed.

Accardo knew that a complete LinkedIn occupation would be worth the cost and costly, but it would be much more comfortable to divide the UK with some friendly forces. Another ally that Germany found was Ireland, which had always been unwilling to be lonely behind Britain. Accardo promised Ireland to cede the Scottish mountains as a buffer zone to create a new "Britain", a regime like Vichy France that would join the German-dominated Iron Axis coalition as another German puppet regime
