The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Zhu Bin's equipment has always been designed and built to meet his basic needs. The result is that the final products are often significantly higher than the contemporary level, and a lot of strange technologies are mixed in, which greatly destroys the technology. balance!

In addition, the Germans of this era are at the stage of the explosion of technological imagination and realization capabilities. After obtaining the original design and accumulating construction experience, even if they are not driven by strong nuclear power, they still rely on their diesel engines. Instead of automatic operation, conscientious and professionalism, two huge land steel beetles with a length of more than 200 meters and a weight of more than 1000 tons were forced to pass through two underground passages across the English Channel along the route that Zhu Bin surveyed at the beginning!

The shield machine with a diameter of seven meters made two large round holes with a total length of 35 kilometers. Originally, it took at least two years of uninterrupted construction. Under Hitler's call and pressure, the Germans completed the drilling task half a year ahead of schedule. .

While drilling, the same-direction rails laid with prefabricated rails followed in parallel. When the two giant machines rushed out of the ground, it meant that the two passages could be put into use immediately. The compression airway, as well as the establishment of safe escape routes, technical maintenance and other institutions are not perfect, but they can't take care of them.Nothing else, military priority!

The heavy-duty engineering vehicle carried by the super airship drilled the ground and set it up for blasting to assist in digging the ground, and then drove in to dig up the soil until it reached the exit.

After the shield machine rushed out, it compacted the concrete on the spot and erected the vaulted concrete of the hole, and quickly laid the rails underneath to extend outwards. After only a few hours, it went out of the deep ditch and reached the ground.Then follow the guide wires and tie them to both sides, so as not to block the way!

In the rear, two long special trains rushed over first under the traction of large diesel engines. In front of the front of the trains, two heavy steel locomotives with a structure of super chariots were put down, and wide crawler chassis were continuously put down at the end of the rails until the entire thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand The ton body slowly rolled over the ground.Thoroughly compact it, let the automatic track-laying vehicle at the rear move along, and on the flat ground that the engineering vehicles around the exit have been cleared out, the trumpet flowers are constantly laying out strips of temporary railroad tracks!

The length of each track is only a few hundred meters, barely able to stop a train, and almost just after the laying of one track, a train full of armored soldiers rushes out of the tunnel, cuts it directly, and quickly unloads it.Go to the front!

The advantages of the Germans' rigor, discipline, seamless cooperation, and high efficiency were brought into full play during this period of time!In general countries, it takes at least ten days and a half months to complete an extremely huge and extremely complex project, but they only completed it in one night!

By the early morning of the next day, ten trains had plunged into the temporary track. The increasing load not only put a great test on the entire tunnel, but also caused Admiral Paul Hausser, who carried out the "Moses Plan", to Always hold your breath and don't dare to relax until all of them reach the other side successfully.Except two trains were overloaded and the ground sank off the tracks.Apart from causing slight damage, everything went smoothly and unusually!

The troops of ten regiments arrived and were thrown into the front line one by one. They immediately made up for the shortcomings of the 5 airborne paratroopers who were lightly parachuted and lacked heavy weapons, especially a full two hundred tanks and the same number The investment of armored vehicles and the joining of a large number of self-propelled artillery.Bringing the total force across the southeast coast of London to as many as [-]!

At this time, the British were still at a loss to know that a catastrophe was imminent!

In the afternoon of the previous day, when German fighter planes gathered on a large scale from Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, the British side got the news.However, Churchill was not surprised by this, and even calmed down as if it was a routine.

For them, German bombing has become the norm. Even when the "Sea Lion Project" was at its most intensive and the attack was the most violent, Britain survived with tenacious resistance.Afterwards, the Soviet-German War broke out, and British intelligence made unprecedented contributions. A large number of fighters were dispatched to the Eastern Front, and the Western Front changed from active offense to defensive. Both Churchill and the British were sincerely grateful for the disaster!Let the Germans fight with the Soviet Russians, and both sides will suffer, and we will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!

The British can only enjoy themselves while watching from the sidelines.The Atlantic Ocean broke the war, and with the weakness of the United States, the sea support that Britain received was greatly weakened. Offensive was out of the question, and it was not easy to maintain the basic survival needs of the people.

But this time, the Germans actually made a comeback again, still swarming with a large-scale and stronger overall combat effectiveness, and once again shifted the focus of bombing from the previous industrial facilities to the air defense facilities of the London defense line. As if they have become smarter, this has to make the British more vigilant.

In the hours after the battle broke out, a large number of radar stations and anti-aircraft artillery positions deployed in southern England were exposed. The expected German bombers did not follow up, but thousands of missiles came from Germany. The astonishing spread deviates and smashes over, one-third of which hits the target, causing a considerable degree of damage!

Afterwards, a large number of "Peregrine" attack planes bought from China swarmed in, sticking to the low altitude from the south and advancing layer by layer like peeling onions, uprooting all exposed air defense firepower points!

For the air power made in China, the British army is relatively unfamiliar from top to bottom. Not many of those who suffered from Southeast Asia came back alive, let alone have any experience.Fast speed, rough skin and thick flesh, long battery life, large ammunition load, precise attack, flexible coordinated operations, all these advantages make the British exhausted.

However, this is not enough to completely intimidate the British who are fully defensive.After the mobilization of the whole people, the nearly united resistance of the British made them look extremely tragic and brave. A large number of fighters were thrown in, and the air fighters could not get out of the line of fire even if they were slightly injured.

Until the huge fleet of transport planes began to drop paratroopers down, probably trying to successfully seize the position before the night came, the British high command breathed a sigh of relief.Churchill even sneered contemptuously: "Hitler must have been frozen by the cold in Siberia! Delusion to use such a small number of airborne troops to attack London? It is a dream!"

A narrow strait has become a natural moat for both sides. It is an indisputable fact that the German navy has never been able to confront the British Royal Navy in a frontal battle except for breaking diplomatic relations.No command of the sea, no command of the air.The Germans have no way to support the airborne troops, or land operations at sea!The geographical advantage of the UK is unbeatable!

General Montgomery, who was in charge of the overall defense operations in the southeast theater, calmly and calmly allocated [-] troops in one breath to set up an outpost theater in Maidstone against the frenzied battle in the sky.And let the coastal guards let go of the encirclement and suppression, and after Commodore Mountbatten led the Fifth Destroyer Fleet to successfully entangle the German navy, preventing them from threatening the coastal areas or implementing beach landings, they decisively ordered to kill the airborne troops with all their strength!

To be on the safe side, Montgomery continued to mobilize 3 troops garrisoned in London as the second echelon to prepare for follow-up operations. He knew very well how powerful the Germans were.But come to think of it, [-] to [-] heavily armed troops will deal with a group of lightly armed airborne troops.Still in hand?

Because they have been defending against German attacks across the sea, the British troops in the southeast theater are always on alert. The German airborne troops landed on their front feet. Before they began to gather, they rushed out of the bunker and launched a siege in groups!

The result was not as optimistic as initially thought!

These German paratroopers who took the risk of airborne at dusk are almost the strongest among the millions of German troops, and they are equipped with a large number of MP40 submachine guns.And semi-automatic carbines and light machine guns imported from China.And they are not just soldiers, almost every transport aircraft.All dropped at least two armed geeps or infantry vehicles!

Armed geep, or erect heavy machine guns, or equipped with 120mm artillery, 100mm recoilless guns, short-range offensive firepower is fierce.Although the light infantry fighting vehicle only weighs about 10 tons, it is at least equipped with a 37mm gun, which can still deal a severe blow to the Matilda tank.Its 40mm composite armor is a thick defense that is difficult for British machine guns to break through!

Coupled with the large number of anti-tank rockets carried by individual soldiers, 60 mortars, and [-] paratroopers, they already have a strong offensive combat capability!

German troops fighting in companies and platoons.Assemble towards the armored or mechanical units as soon as they land, and immediately follow the deployment when they have assembled a squad, and quickly march towards the meeting point guided by the radio receiving end.Encountering the British army's interception, they immediately went into battle. With the intensive rapid-fire firepower and the heavy weapon strikes in the narrow encounter, they defeated the superior British army's search troops one by one and retreated in a panic!

Fortunately, the main goal of the German paratroopers is not to fight with them, and to move immediately once they break through.Unknowingly, the intercepted British army was drawn towards a series of northern strongholds.

Unexpectedly, Montgomery had no choice but to let the coastal defense forces keep up with the encirclement and suppression.He has keenly judged that this time the German attack is different from the past. The huge number of airborne troops not only has too much attack power and firepower, but also has a clear goal. The division of troops is to cut off the hundreds of square kilometers in the east and create a landing beach!

It was in this chaotic situation that the super airship quickly transported the engineering vehicles in the night, and the shield boring machine drilled out quickly spread out on the Dover position that had been completely cleared, and followed a The armored forces spread out layer by layer towards the outer layer, and some paratroopers attacked and wiped out the sporadic British troops in the middle. Overnight, Germany's "Moses plan" was more than half successful!

In the early morning of the next day, General Montgomery, who had not had a rest all night, got the exact news that a large number of German armored soldiers appeared on the eastern battlefield!Moreover, the powerful steel torrent with the "Tiger" tanks and Leopard tanks as the main force suddenly joined the battle, and smoothly crushed the defensive troops into pieces!

"How could this be? It shouldn't be!"

Montgomery immediately contacted Mountbatten, and it was confirmed that there was indeed no German transport ship deliberately landing on the English Channel. If he wanted to escort batches of armored units ashore, there were only a few landing points that needed to be opened. All in the middle of a firefight and not occupied!

The situation was reported to Churchill, and the arrogant Prime Minister did not take it seriously: "The Germans are just bluffing! Don't be intimidated by them! We know that they got a batch of large Chinese transport planes and some airships with a large carrying capacity, but they never Possibly bring the entire armored division to England! General, show your courage and determination, and kill them all!"

Yes, Chinese transport planes can pull light tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. After the Germans built a super airship for Zhu Bin, they secretly built a large number of similar things.It even tried crossing the North Sea in the early days of the war. Facts have proved that that guy can only be used in the case of air supremacy and ground defense. Otherwise, no matter how many 20mm cannons are on it, it is still a target for fighter jets!

Montgomery also had a similar thought, indeed in the evening.A group of airships approached the beach and landed, but they ran away immediately after unloading. They were not intercepted by the air force and navy. If one airship transported two tanks, the front line would only have sixty or seventy tanks at most. In a hurry!

But it didn't take long before things got worse!The tanks that appeared on the front line are more than 200 according to preliminary statistics, plus the number of infantry fighting vehicles.This is clearly the strength of an armored division sent over!The German airships are still in France, so where did they come from, drilled out of the ground?

Churchill couldn't calm down anymore. The existence of an armored division meant that the UK had to come up with at least two to three divisions. Only with a force of more than 5 people could they be completely wiped out.The entire southeast of England will fall into an unprecedented crisis!

The problem is, this time.Germany's air strikes did not go away as soon as they were touched, but retreated after the strike was over, including at night, there were always groups of fighter jets circling until dawn.The number of flying is even greater!The vast airspace in south London is completely occupied by them!

General Montgomery was a little numb.The strongest armored soldier in his hands, apart from his own tattered Matilda, is a batch of m4s shipped by the Americans before, no matter the armor or the main gun.The mobility is not comparable to that of German products, and the quantity, when facing hundreds of armored clusters, where do you get so many?And it is still fighting on the mainland. Except for the anti-tank trenches all over the ground and the obstruction of the river, there is nothing else that can stop the raging German tanks!

Churchill yelled at his lair: "Damn Germans! Where did they come from? Did they really dig a tunnel across the channel?! But it's impossible!"

Digging through the English Channel was a great idea from the time of Napoleon, and the British absolutely disagreed with it. After 200 years, no one seems to take this seriously.And with the development of science and technology, people have realized that the difficulty of this kind of engineering is like a natural moat!Even if Germany has a large shield tunneling machine designed for the Chinese, it is not sure to get through.

It is not that the UK has not received similar intelligence, but the result of the argument is that it is just a strategy by the Germans to attack the West.With their technology, it would take ten or eight years to cross the strait without success, and the cost would be too high for Hitler to bear.

So the British didn't take it seriously, and now, they can't remember it for a while!

Montgomery pulled all the troops he could mobilize to the front line to stop the attack, and 8 people rushed in one after another. Finally, they barely resisted the first wave of shock at noon, but they couldn't stop the Germans from joining forces.

In the afternoon, the second German armored division rushed through the tunnel and reached the rear!In the evening, the third division came, and at night, the fourth and fifth divisions....In the early morning of the third day, nearly 20 German troops crossed the English Channel, forming a mighty steel fist. In the darkness at five o'clock, they suddenly exerted force and swept over the British defense line like a tide!

Hundreds of attack aircraft, more than 100 bombers cleared the way, and hundreds of V2 missiles focused on the rear of the British army. The torrent of German armor formed a frenzy that swept across the land, crushing the southeast battlefield, and overflowing the British defense line. Pushed to Dortford, the heavy artillery unit can easily smash large-caliber shells anywhere in central London!

Fortunately, a reconnaissance plane saw the sudden change of the Dover landing site from a low altitude. The piles of military columns, the German troops pouring out like ants, and the shocked pilot almost fell from the sky.Panicked, he radioed the historic scream: "The Germans! They're coming out of the ground!"

It was conveyed layer by layer, and with the presentation of a photo, Montgomery, Churchill, and all the British commanders who persisted in resisting were immediately and completely defeated!

The months-long bombing of London brought the morale of the British people to the verge of collapse. If Hitler's German army hadn't made a mistake in their strategy, they would have been forced to surrender now.

They thought they could make it through.But now, when the Germans really have the ability to walk through the ground, everything seems to be meaningless!

On the French side, several intelligence agents tried to expose the danger and sent out their findings in plain text: "The German column is advancing! They all disappeared along the coast of Calais!"

Dozens of military columns, more military columns, full of German soldiers who had no time to camouflage, marched from France to Calais in a mighty manner, only going and never returning.The all-pervasive British and French intelligence personnel compared back and forth, and quickly figured out what was going on, and they were all shocked!

More German troops marched to the British mainland, and the German navy, which had been on the defensive, suddenly launched. The wolves under the sea launched a frenzied siege to the British destroyer. Hundreds of fighters stopped the Mountbatten navy from bombing Dover regardless of casualties. plan.

When the 30 German army completed the siege of London on the seventh day, thousands of cannons and thousands of tanks and armored vehicles crushed the last straight backbone of the British.Churchill withdrew to the north with some people who would rather die than submit. The British royal family announced their surrender! (To be continued..)
