Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The difficulty of the Battle of Southampton has exceeded Romeo's imagination, and the enemy's determination to resist also exceeded his imagination!

    The soldiers of the 1st Division of the Royal Army performed impeccably and fulfilled all the responsibilities of a soldier.  The courage they displayed on the battlefield was no less than that of their enemies.  Even if the offense does not achieve the desired results, they can leave with their heads held high.

    However, all British officers and soldiers, including Romeo, understood one truth: when the war reaches the decisive stage, never underestimate the enemy's determination and will to resist.  Only when the last shot is fired can it mean that the war is truly over.

    For Don Tanner, the Allied commander in Southampton, he felt that he had done a pretty good job after the decisive battle broke out.  The enemy's attack was fierce and the enemy's firepower was powerful, but they persisted.  Moreover, on the frontal battlefield, they also caused heavy damage to the enemy.

    If the battle continues like this, it will be obvious that the lost initiative in the war will gradually be reversed.  Although it was only a small number, it was enough to make Don Tanner proud.

    In the afternoon, the First Division of the British Royal Army continued to launch several more attacks, but the US military, which was gradually gaining confidence, continued to defeat the enemy as it did in the morning.  You can even hear cheers from the American position.

    Once the morale of an army is lifted, their performance on the battlefield can be described as "outstanding".  Now it is most appropriate to put it on the US military.

    "Compared to the cheering Americans, the soldiers of the Queen's Army seemed a little discouraged.  Since the landing, they have maintained a strong fighting spirit and an unstoppable offensive, but now they have suffered a setback in Southampton, which they had never expected before.

    General Jonnar¡¯s call came to Romeo¡¯s headquarters.  Surprisingly, General Jonnar did not blame Romeo at all. General Jonnar acted very calmly on the phone.  He told Romeo that no war can always be smooth sailing, and setbacks will only accelerate the growth of an army.

    Romeo was very grateful to General Jonnar for his comfort.  He proposed a plan to use airborne troops to capture Southampton, but was opposed by General Jonnar.  The general told Romeo on the phone: "Please wait patiently, the magical Baron Alexson is in Southampton, and he will make a move that will shock each of us."

    Romeo took a deep breath, then he had nothing to worry about.  The Magic Baron always does magical things.

    Of course, this is beyond what Don Tanner could have imagined.  He could not imagine that the magical baron who had been active on the battlefield since World War I was actually in Southampton, right under his nose.  What he didn't expect even more was that a conspiracy was quietly going on.

    Frank also did not expect it. He expressed his congratulations to Don Tanner and believed that under the command of General Don Tanner, he could create a "Southampton Miracle" belonging to him.

    ?Although he appears very humble on the surface.  But to be honest, Don Tanner was still very happy inside.  An excellent commander can always make the most correct judgment in a passive situation, and can always create his own miracles even when he is at a disadvantage.

    And I am exactly such a person.

    "General, your call is from General Backus."

    Don Tanner took the call. Bacchus on the other end of the phone looked a little panicked: "General, we were attacked. Yes, a guerrilla attack. Damn it, there are a lot of them. I need reinforcements, reinforcements!"

    "General Bacchus, please stay calm." Don Tanner was also taken aback, but he had to force himself to stay calm: "Guerrillas? England's Free Army? We have already given them a heavy blow before. These damn guys are from  Where did it come from?"

    "I don't know, General!" Bacchus' tone was still panicked: "I have lost more than ten soldiers, and the guerrillas also used rockets. Did you hear those gunshots and explosions?"

    Indeed, there was a very fierce battle sound coming from the other end of the microphone, but before Tang Tanner could make a decision, there was a violent explosion outside.  Then there were several more explosions.  This was followed by very violent gunfire.

    Don Tanner had no idea what was going on. After a while, his adjutant came in hurriedly: "General, a truck filled with explosives outside the military camp tried to break through our checkpoint, but it was shot by the guards.  , the truck exploded and several of our guardsmen did not survive."Don Tanner's face quickly became gloomy, and the report that came immediately made him even more upset.  A large number of armed men appeared in Southampton. They possess sophisticated weapons and have begun to attack some important departments of the Southampton Police Station and television stations.

    Guerrillas, those damn guerrillas again!

    It was only then that Don Tanner remembered that Bacchus was still there waiting for his answer. He put the microphone to his mouth again: "General Bacchus, I was also attacked here. The situation is not optimistic. I  I order you to stay in your military camp immediately and look for suitable opportunities to take the initiative. You must not let the guerrillas' conspiracy succeed. "

    Jean hung up the phone without letting Bacchus make a decision.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  In fact, he was not too worried about the battle situation at Bacchus. After all, the enemies were just some guerrillas, and Bacchus commanded an entire division of regular troops. Could they still be defeated by the guerrillas?  What he is worried about is the situation in Southampton as a whole. There must be no surprises at such a critical juncture.

    "General, the guerrillas have occupied the TV station, and Annuo, the leader of the 'English Free Army', is giving a speech there."

    The adjutant turned on the TV, and Don Tanner¡¯s old rival Anno appeared on the TV. He was using TV as a powerful weapon to encourage the British people in Southampton:

    "Her Majesty's subjects, the glorious day we have been longing for has finally arrived Her Majesty's troops are launching a fierce attack on Southampton, and the sky over this ancient city will soon be filled with the true colors of  The flag of England. What we need to do is to take up the weapons in our hands and drive out all the enemies who do not belong to this city.  Nothing is more precious than freedom, and nothing is more exciting than the fact that England truly belongs to the people of England. £®  The time has come for all the civilian armed forces to fight against the invaders here. £®

    "These damn guerrillas." Don Tanner snorted with disdain: "Do they really think they can win by occupying a TV station?"

    "Rebellious acts like this must be completely suppressed, and there is no room for bargaining."  Originally, Bacchus, who was responsible for the defense of the southern side of Southampton's security, was the most suitable candidate, but now even his military camp is under attack.

    Don Tanner frowned and thought for a while, then turned his attention to Frank: "General Frank, are you willing to take the responsibility of suppressing the guerrillas?"

    "Of course I do. General Don Tanner." Frank didn't take this issue too seriously. In his opinion, although the guerrillas were rampant, it didn't take much effort to pacify them: "I'll command you now."  troops to drive those guerrillas to where they should be."

    Don Tanner smiled with satisfaction, but the uneasy feeling he had before seemed to resurface in his heart.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    The "English Free Army"'s offensive in Southampton seems to be very fierce. They successively occupied TV stations and some government departments.  An attack was launched at Southampton Police Station at the same time.  What made Annuo even more happy was that a large number of British people from Southampton took the initiative to join his men.  In just one hour, the Free Army expanded to 1,500 people.

    Although it was still impossible to confront the regular army head-on with such power, it was enough to give Don Tanner and his officers a headache.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    It¡¯s just that the weapons and equipment that were just solved now have problems again. The weapons and ammunition provided by Bacchus can only arm a thousand people at most. What to do with the extra 500 people?  And as the war progresses, more British people will join their troops in the name of "Her Majesty the Queen".

    The police station seems like a good place to solve the problem.

    it's here.  According to intelligence, a lot of weapons and ammunition were stored, and the defense force was not strong, only more than a hundred policemen.  In An Nuo's view, it doesn't take much effort to deal with these more than a hundred police officers.

    But Annuo soon discovered that he was wrong.  The combat effectiveness of the guerrillas is not only very different from that of the regular army, but also from that of the paramilitary armed police.

    With several machine guns arranged at the entrance of the police station, the suppressed Free Army could not move forward at all, especially the fierce shooting. For ordinary people who had just joined the Free Army?The psychological shock is quite huge.  They huddled in places where they could hide without daring to move. Everyone's eyes fell on Commander Annuo, who had just arrived here.

    At this time, Annuo knew that he had to make a decision now. He had just received the information.  The enemy's regular forces are beginning to gather and will soon attack the "Freedom Army".  If the police station cannot be captured within a short period of time, the situation facing the "Freedom Army" will take a turn.

    Annuo is a very bold and adventurous person.  He called his assistant Pietro: "Pietro, if anything happens to me, you will take over as the commander-in-chief of the 'Free Army'."

    "What, me?" Pietro said in disbelief: "Sir, what do you want to do?"

    "I want to have a negotiation with the other party's commander." Anno stopped Pietro, who was frightened and wanted to stop himself: "We can't stay here for too long, the enemy's regular army will attack us soon.  , Negotiating with the commander on the opposite side is our only option.¡±

    Pietro didn¡¯t know what to say.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  He knew very well that once the commander made a decision, it would be difficult for anyone to change him.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    Deputy Director Vitak almost thought he heard wrongly.  Anno, the commander of the "English Free Army", actually wants to negotiate with himself?  He is crazy, this man is really crazy.  However, when he saw Annuo walking into the police station alone holding a white flag, he knew that he was not dreaming.

    "Arrest him!" Without any hesitation, Vitak issued such an order.

    Since the Fenton administration came to power.  Annuo is a very important member of the government's wanted list, but he has never been able to catch this person, and now he actually delivered it to the door by himself.

    "Deputy Director Vitak, I hope you can listen to what I have to say before arresting me." Annuo put down the white flag in his hand and said calmly.

    Whitaker hesitated.  But Annuo was still given a chance to express his opinion.

    Annuo smiled: "Deputy Director Vitak, I'm here to persuade you to surrender."

    Deputy Director Vitak was startled, and then almost laughed.  If it is crazy, the individual must be crazy.  Not only did he appear here without risking his life, but he actually came to persuade him to surrender.

    "Mr. Anno, I respect your courage. But I don't know what kind of confidence you have to say such a thing." Vitak looked at the other party as if he were looking at a monster: "Is it just because of your abilities?"  A rabble without any military training?"

    "No, I don't rely on those mobs, I rely on the courage Her Majesty the Queen gave me." Annuo was still so calm: "I think you have probably seen the direction of the war. Yes, you are completely  You can arrest me or even shoot me. But our victory is no longer something you can reverse. Deputy Director Vitak, the powerful Queen's Army and the powerful Axis Army will soon capture Southampton, and  Arrest you, and then you will suffer the same fate, being shot for brutally killing a loyal subject of Her Majesty the Queen. Deputy Chief Vitak, I don't want to see this happen, and I don't want it even more.  See you and I meet in hell."

    Instead, Vitak didn¡¯t know how to refute the other party.

    He knows the situation of the war better than Annuo.  Yes, since the enemy's "New Sea Lion Plan" was implemented, the Allies have fallen into deep passivity.  Southampton, which was thought to be extremely safe, was actually covered up by the war in advance.  Although the Americans fought well during the daytime battle, a large number of enemies would soon appear in a steady stream.  Can Southampton hold on?  How long can you hold on?  Although Vitak didn't know, it was obvious that he was not optimistic about the prospect.

    "Deputy Director Vitak, I know you are very conflicted." Annuo seemed to have seen through the other party: "You can choose to cooperate with us, but what if the Allies can defend Southampton? You will be charged.  So I gave you another solution. Give us the police station, but if you don't participate in any of our military operations, then you can put all the responsibility on us.  £®  £®¡±

    Vitak was a little moved.  If it really goes well, this would be a good idea.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  However, the situation is not yet completely clear, and it is necessary to deal with oneself and aHe was really unwilling to cooperate with the leader of the strike team, and the other party was the person he had been chasing for a long time.

    "Sometimes face is not the most important thing." Annuo seemed to see through the other party's mind: "Deputy Director Vitak, I can tell you very clearly that Southampton will not even be able to hold on until tomorrow. At most, tomorrow  At this time, a large number of Her Majesty's troops will appear in the city. Whether to continue to serve the Americans or to be a hero of the city, I think this choice is not difficult. "

    Vitak lit a cigarette and smoked it one puff after another.  Annuo, who was standing opposite him, was not in a hurry and had been waiting patiently.  He knew that Vitak would make the right choice.

    When all the cigarettes were burned out, Vitak came to the phone: "General Don Tanner? I am Vitak. The guerrillas' offensive is very fierce, and their weapons are sophisticated. I only have more than a hundred people.  Yes, the police station is about to be lost. I ask you to allow me to surrender if necessary. Yes, thank you for your understanding. I will keep myself safe."

    He slowly put down the phone: "Mr. Anno, I think you have successfully convinced me that I will order my men to stop fighting, but you must ensure their safety. Moreover, my men will never participate in your  in the war.¡±

    Annuo breathed a long sigh of relief, but a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "You are an Englishman, and so am I. I don't want to see my compatriots killing each other. Deputy Director Vitak, I am very grateful.  I am even more convinced that Her Majesty the Queen will thank you for your cooperation."

    Vitak doesn¡¯t need anyone to thank him. In such a situation, everyone will consider their future.

    I just made a special choice at a special moment!
