- With the fall of Southampton, the British dream of continuing to resist was being shattered bit by bit.
Now, the British must face the impending defeat. Britain, which was originally united, began to split, and some calls to consider surrender also began to quietly appear
Except for one person who still insisted on resisting to the end: Winston Churchill.
Churchill never considered surrender. In his view, any form of surrender would be very shameful for the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets."
Such a shameful thing would never happen to me!
Churchill made preparations to defend Britain to the death.
The war in Britain has entered a decisive stage
"Everything is for victory" Churchill delivered a speech that inspired the British: "We will use the firm belief of the British Empire to complete an impossible war"
"Everything is for victory" Almost at the same moment, President Wang Hengyue also delivered a speech: "Before the end of April, let the war end too! For victory, move forward!"
For victory, move forward!
After the Battle of Southampton, the Sino-German coalition increased the frequency of sending additional troops to the United Kingdom. A large number of fighter planes were raging in the sky, a large number of tanks were rampaging on British soil, and a large number of soldiers were advancing forward.
Britain is trembling, and London can even feel the threat of Chinese artillery fire
h. General Alexander knew that it was difficult to stop the enemy's attack by relying solely on his own strength. For him, what he can do now is to do everything he can to delay the enemy as much as possible and buy enough time for the defense war in London.
But what if we can buy time to defend? How long can an isolated city last without foreign aid?
The 18th British Army Group was placed in Hodge County, which will be the last line of defense to defend London
In Alexander¡¯s view, the 18th Army Group is fully capable of holding off the enemy for more than three months, which will buy enough time for the defense of London.
But it was clear that Alexander once again underestimated the advancement capabilities of the Sino-German coalition.
With the cover of aircraft and tanks, 210,000 Chinese and German coalition soldiers launched a terrifying attack on Hodge County. The shells were rumbling, and the earth was shaking
From the very beginning of the battle, Hodge County was attacked by mountains and tsunamis. The British soldiers persisted bitterly, and group after group threw themselves into the positions that were about to collapse, but no one knew when this torture would end.
"We can't see any hope of victory" General Alexander wrote in his diary: "This is the darkest moment in British history, and it will lead Britain into a period of endless darkness The war was not supposed to go like this When Adolf Hitler vowed to occupy Britain, we did not believe it We successfully defeated the German air attack on Britain, and we successfully reversed the situation on the battlefield But then China People came, and the nightmare of the British Empire began We tried our best and did everything we could, but now it seems to be so futile I may fight Die here, for the British Empire, for the land I love so much¡§"
This diary is very tragic, but also full of helplessness
On March 12, the 82nd Division of the Chinese National Defense Force, which was at the forefront of the assault, broke into the British defense line in Hodge County. The two sides launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle on the position.
This is a day that neither the Chinese nor the British will forget
The Chinese soldiers showed their bravery, and the British soldiers also expressed their determination to defend their homeland.
Since defeating the Spanish Armada in 1588, Britain has gradually replaced Spain and become the emerging hegemonic power on the sea, and has begun to continuously expand its overseas colonies!
After that, Britain successively defeated its strongest opponents, the Netherlands and France, in the Anglo-Dutch War and the Seven Years' War, seized large tracts of colonies from the two countries, and established its maritime hegemony. Britain's victory in the Napoleonic War in 1815 further consolidated its position as an international political and military power, and the Industrial Revolution made Britain an undisputed economic power. The British Empire in the Victorian era entered its heyday. On the eve of World War I, 400-500 million people in the world, or a quarter of the world's population at that time, were under the rule of the British Empire; Newfoundland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Myanmar , Gambia, Malta, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria."Conditions"
On March 13, 1944, a scene that made General Alexander desperate appeared: General Oliver Thred surrendered with his troops.
General Alexander did not blame his men. They have done enough and you can't ask more of them.
However, with the surrender of General Thred, Hodge County will be difficult to hold, and then London will be forced to face the enemy's most direct attack.
The plan to defend Hodge County for three months has now completely come to nothing.
London was still asking about the situation on the front line, but Alexander didn't know how to answer. If news of the surrender reached London, it would only cause greater chaos.
Concealed? How long can this be hidden?
"From one victory to another? Victory belongs to the great British Empire?" Mr. Churchill's high-spirited speech rang in Alexander's ears, but now it all sounds so ironic.
With the surrender of General Thred, the fall of Hodge County is only a matter of time. The Chinese are fully capable of occupying it within three days.
?Then there is London, the capital of the British Empire.
No British person can imagine what a terrible thing it will be once the Chinese army appears in London? The dignity and honor of the British Empire will completely disappear at that moment.
But there is no power that can prevent such a thing from happening!
Never! ! .
