Thirty-three British people were massacred. The news quickly spread throughout Southampton in various ways, and the anger in the British heart was completely mobilized. Even those British who had not had a strong will to resist before finally stood firmly on the side of the "Free Army".
The whole city was mobilized. Every Englishman is transformed into the strongest warrior at this moment.
This situation is the last thing Americans or Canadians want to see. The turmoil in the city made it impossible for them to devote all their energy to the war. The entire Canadian 52nd Infantry Division was involved in Southampton.
Tang Tanner was a little panicked. He never thought that things would develop to this point. But now there is no room for recovery.
The patter of rain never stopped, and even so, it could not stop the pace of the Axis forces' war.
Romeo, who suffered a setback in the battle the day before, received new reinforcements - the "Skeleton Lancers" of the SS Skeleton Division! The unit commanded by Major Stroup has demonstrated amazing combat effectiveness in previous battles. It is entirely possible that they will become an important chess piece that determines the outcome of the war.
¡°And better intelligence is starting to come out that major changes have occurred in Southampton and that civil unrest is taking place in the city. The energy of the Allied forces was greatly affected. The only troops they could use on the front line were one US armored division.
Romeo and Major Stroup know that Baron Alexson in the city is exerting his huge and unimaginable influence.
There was no interruption in the attack, and it broke out almost immediately. Countless German troops 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!
Don Tanner can no longer care about so much. The only thing he has to consider now is how to get through this difficult day and how to continue to be a hero of the Allied Forces today! Frank and the Canadians under his command could no longer count on him. Fortunately, he still had a backup force:
Major General Backus and the 6th Army Division under his command.
Although Backus has been emphasizing that his 6th Division is also under attack, it is obvious that the situation of the 6th Division is not that difficult. Orders to mobilize troops were quickly conveyed to Bacchus.
"Tang Tanner is already anxious, isn't he?" Wang Weiyi always had such a smile on his face: "What does this mean? This shows that the situation is far more optimistic than we imagined. General Bacchus, in my opinion, action The time has come.¡±
Bacchus instantly became excited.
Anyone with some sense can see that Don Tanner was already struggling to breathe at this time. With the arrival of more and more Axis troops and the turmoil throughout Southampton, Don Tanner There was no way out for Tanner.
At this time, whoever can achieve more military exploits will have more say in the future British government!
Backus hopes he can do this.
"Launch a sudden attack on the flank of the US military!" Wang Weiyi looked at the map of Southampton on the wall carefully: "Put the entire 6th Division into the battlefield without any reservation. The action must be fast and swift, without giving Tang Tanner any breathing space. time. At the same time, we ordered our troops to attack one by one!"
The people around are in great spirits, and the time for the decisive battle has finally arrived!
The 6th Division quickly began to take action, and its leading troops quickly began to move towards the designated location within 20 minutes after "Lieutenant Colonel Moyol" issued the battle order. The British actions soon attracted Don Tanner's attention.
No matter what, Don Tanner is a commander with rich combat experience, and the abnormal movement of a troop can always attract his attention. Judging from the advance trajectory of the 6th Division, it is definitely not here to reinforce the US military.
"What are you doing there, General Backus?" Don Tanner's tone was very stern on the phone.
Bacchus knew very well that this could not be concealed. He smiled and said, "General Don Tanner, I am an Englishman, am I not?"
I'm an Englishman, right? When Bacchus said these words, Don Tanner knew that everything was over. But he still retained a trace of fantasy in his heart. He controlled the anger in his heart and tried to make his tone sound softer: "General Backus, you must understand the responsibilities on your shoulders. You must understand Fenton The president¡¯s trust.¡±
"Of course I understandForgive me for the responsibility I bear. Bacchus's answer was very calm: "This responsibility is the trust given to me by Her Majesty the Queen." £® £® £® £® £® I thought there was no doubt that I would be criticized for things like military honor or loyalty, but I didn't care. As we speak, I think my troops have begun their attack. "
"Boom", when Backus put down the phone, the 6th Division's attack on the US military officially began!
This is something that no American has thought of - the British who were used as the general reserve actually rebelled!
The 6th Division is very familiar with everything in Southampton. They know where the weak points of the US military's defense are, and they also know better how to launch an attack. For the Americans led by Don Tanner, the situation has reached a point of no return.
On the front, there are the increasingly powerful Axis forces, and behind him, there are British people who have risen up all over the city to oppose the Americans - including the 6th Division commanded by Backus!
The US military forces, which were originally orderly, fell into terrible chaos in a short period of time. £® £® £® £® £® After the 6th Division's attack began, the U.S. Army's F Company was quickly annihilated, and there was not a single survivor in the entire company.
¡°In the name of Her Majesty the Queen¡ªattack!¡±
This sentence resounded in Southampton, in the streets and alleys, and in the ears of every British person who participated in the uprising. £® £® £® £® £®
"I think we're probably doomed." This was the only thing General Don Tanner could say. The whole city was full of revolting British people, and a few minutes ago, he got another news that he was even more unwilling to hear: the main force of the German Armed SS SS Skeleton Division had all arrived on the battlefield!
He reported to General Gandra, the Allied Commander-in-Chief in England, including the Southampton uprising and the mutiny of the 6th Division. And his report was like a heavy hammer hitting General Gandra on the head. As the commander-in-chief, he didn't know what to do.
"General Don Tanner, I hope you and your soldiers can understand the importance of Southampton to the entire War of England" At this point, General Gandra could only say what he had repeated countless times. He said: "Even if there is still a glimmer of hope, Southampton must not be abandoned! I will order reinforcements to arrive as quickly as possible."
"I think when the reinforcements arrive, the only thing they will see is my body" Don Tanner put down the phone in despair.
¡°It¡¯s bullshit not to give up until the last moment, and to have reinforcements arrive as soon as possible. After the Axis forces launched an attack on Easton, the Allied forces were in chaos and mobilized troops everywhere. At this time, the Axis forces, dominated by the French army, quickly opened a second battlefield:
Portsmouth!
Yes, Portsmouth, the landing battlefield originally imagined by the Allied forces. Now, a large number of troops here have been urgently withdrawn to deal with the unexpected war situation. Just when the strength of the Portsmouth military port weakened, those damn French appeared!
¡°Perhaps the Allies did not take the French army¡¯s combat effectiveness seriously before, but at this special time, the French army may even become a decisive force that determines the outcome of the war.
¡° Moreover, the offensives of underground resistance organizations that have broken out in various places have also involved a large number of Allied forces. The reinforcements that were originally supposed to be sent to Southampton were unable to move at this time. This is the best example. So, where are the reinforcements that General Gandra mentioned?
Everyone can make the same promise as the moon in the mirror. £® £® £® £® £®
"General, C Company's position has been completely breached. The enemy's offensive is very powerful. I think we can support it for three hours at most."
"Three hours, three hours." Don Tanner murmured: "Order, the troops on all lines reduce their strength. At the same time, let General Frank build defenses on the spot. I think street fighting will break out soon."
Street fighting is often a way to kill the side with the superior force, but it is obviously inappropriate in Southampton. The rebels who can be seen everywhere in Southampton will become the eyes of the Axis forces, but what about the Allies? They will be hit at every turn here.
But Don Tanner has no better way. £® £® £® £® £®
"General, can you consider retreating?"
Listening to the adjutant's careful suggestion, Tang Tanner smiled bitterly: "Of course I want to retreat, but it's too late now. The 6th Division has blocked our retreat route, and more importantly, Nan'an If Puton is lost so easily, it will bring disaster to the entire British war situation. "
The adjutant said nothing more. In fact, General Don Tanner at this timeIt is sending a strong message: they have lost all hope!
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the Axis forces finally entered Southampton, and the Allied forces entered a full-scale passive street fighting. And just like General Don Tanner's previous worries, the British in Southampton became the eyes of the Axis forces - their guide!
Don Tanner abandoned all illusions, and there was only one requirement in the order he issued to his men: everyone must fight to the last moment, and surrender will not be allowed unless all hope is cut off. In order to express his firm determination, he set up his headquarters in the city government building with a very obvious goal.
From this point of view, Don Tanner completely bears the meaning of the word "brave". £® £® £® £® £®
£® £® £® £® £® £®
"Marshal Ernst, please allow me to accept my respect!" Major Stroup raised his hand and gave the most standard salute to Ernst Brahm who appeared in front of him: "Long live¡ª¡ª Marshal Ernst!"
This legendary magical baron, this marshal who has won every battle on the battlefield, is standing in front of Major Stroup at this moment. Major Stroup, who had never had any fear on the battlefield, suddenly found himself feeling so nervous at this time.
"I must also express my respect for you." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "You performed very well, Major Stroup. I heard that you successfully defeated the US Army's ace unit 'Bloody Rose'. I think you probably I can't do any better than you personally."
Major Stroup became even more excited. He wished that more people could hear the Baron's praise for him.
"And you, Colonel Romeo." Wang Weiyi cast his eyes on Romeo: "When I first saw you in Berlin, you were still a recruit who had never been on the battlefield, but now you have grown into a A qualified commander. I think Her Majesty will be proud of you."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency Baron." Romeo's mood at this time was exactly the same as that of Major Stroup: "I have never been able to forget those words you once said to me. Without you, I think I would probably He¡¯s still a new recruit who doesn¡¯t know anything.¡±
Wang Weiyi smiled: "Okay, let's put away these compliments between us Although we have entered Southampton, the battle is far from over. Americans and Canadians are still Standing firm. Gentlemen, completely cut off the communication between Americans and Canadians before dark."
"Yes." Several commanders replied loudly.
At this time, they were very clear about the Baron's combat intentions, and the 52nd Division of the Canadian Army would be the first to be eliminated. The team that caused the murder in Southampton will soon be completely overwhelmed by the flames of the angry city. £® £® £® £® £®
£® £® £® £® £® £®
The battle was going on completely according to Wang Weiyi's ideas. With the entry of the 9th Division of the German Wehrmacht, the 1st Division of the Royal British Army and the "Skeleton Lancers" began to focus their main energy on the attack on the 52nd Division of the Canadian Army.
Frank can no longer count on getting reinforcements from the Americans. At this time, Don Tanner's situation is not much better than Frank's.
The swarming troops launched waves of attacks on the Canadians. The layers of soldiers and armored vehicles coming up made every battle for the Canadians so difficult. There are also ordinary British people who actively provide all possible assistance to the Queen's Army.
"Catch Frank and let him receive a fair trial!" This sentence is still coming out of the mouths of British people.
They can¡¯t stand the massacre of British people by a foreigner, and what they can¡¯t stand even more is that this foreigner is actually from Canada! This is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Queen Elizabeth II is the leader and symbol of the country. Now they have actually joined the ranks of massacres of British people. This has dealt a heavy blow to the proud psychology of the British.
They must be taught a hard lesson and how to treat distinguished British citizens. So under this mentality, the fighting enthusiasm that the British burst out 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 ending. Even if the battle is down to the last soldier, he must fight to the end!
Standing on the position, Frank saw a very terrifying scene through the telescope: two captured Canadian soldiers were being beaten by a group of British civilians. It seems that these British people are taking it out on the two Canadian soldiers.own anger.
It¡¯s terrible, really terrible. Frank saw that two of his subordinates were still dodging at first, but then gradually lost their ability. They lay motionless on the ground, and the British beatings showed no sign of stopping.
These two Canadian soldiers were beaten to death like this!
Frank closed his eyes in despair. £® £® £® £® £® God, if I fell into the hands of those British, I would be beaten to death. £® £® £® £® £®
"General, our left wing has been breached!"
"General, Major Malur was killed in action."
One bad news after another reached Frank's ears, but he was powerless to do anything about it. The only order he could give was three words: "Got it."
"knew"? Frank suddenly felt that he was so sad. Can a general and the supreme commander of an army only issue such an order at such a time? This will make you a laughing stock and give yourself the reputation of being a coward.
He received a call from Don Tanna, and without even asking, Frank took the initiative and said: "There is no hope, there is no hope at all. My position will be broken through by the enemy soon. I think all of our Everyone will die."
"General Frank, the situation here is similar to yours. If you really can't hold on anymore, then surrender to our enemies."
Frank's voice was a bit desolate: "Anyone can surrender, but only I can't. I saw with my own eyes how the British treated us, and I will be 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."
"Then, I guess I can only wish you good luck." Don Tanner was silent for a long time and then said: "It won't be long before we meet, of course, not on the battlefield. General Frank, you said we Will you go to heaven or hell?"
"You and I don't know, but I will definitely go to hell." Frank said this as if he was mocking himself.
Yes, Frank is completely convinced at this time that he will definitely find his place in hell! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
