Battle of the Third Reich

Germany has prepared more than a month for this landing plan, and the plan has been revised dozens of times, employing hundreds of thousands of workers, consuming tens of millions of marks, gathering more than 200,000 sea, air, and military officers and mobilizing ships There are more than three hundred ships and more than two thousand aircrafts. There are countless vehicles and small ships. The morale of the whole army is soaring, and it has launched a thunder strike towards the British coast. As a result, a fist hit cotton. . . Ah, even worse, a fist hit the air, and the Germans landed at the headquarters and suffocated.

When Xu Jun received the report, the cold sweat suddenly came down. The first thing he thought of was that this was a trap. The British were tempting the enemy to go deeper, maybe they had already arranged their pocket arrays, waiting for the German soldiers to drill in.

Xu Jun quickly ordered the follow-up troops to keep up, and the fleet and the air force immediately searched on both sides. But subsequent reports from the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Paratroopers followed, all swearing that they were really not kidding. No British troops were found, no militia resistance, no ambush points, no buzzer bunkers, no mine roadblocks, only two company guards around the landing site, neither machine guns nor artillery, when German infantry rushed in At their station, these British soldiers were still asleep.

In the villages and towns near the landing area, all people went to empty houses, and there was a lot of debris scattered on the streets. Many houses had no time to lock the doors. There were no people in dozens of miles, and no dogs could be found.

Xu Jun was completely fooled. He said that he would land in hell, that he would say a beach butcher, that he would shoot rain, smoke and smoke. The blood of the corpse mountain, how did he change his painting style when he got here, hula la launched, hula la landed, hula la march. It’s the same as the triathlon, which is too ridiculous.

Among them, there must be hidden mystery, must be the fat man's conspiracy.

Clausewitz said that the victory or defeat of a war is not about who does better, but who makes fewer mistakes. The success or failure of many great battles in history is often caused by a series of errors. A ditch that is not on the map. A cavalry commander with a missing brain, a telegram categorized in the wrong category, and a malfunctioning reconnaissance aircraft. Any small mistake will lead to a series of chain reactions, which will eventually cause people to cry and laugh.

And this landing battle will develop like this, everything started by a series of misjudgments by the Germans and the British.

Xu Jun's initial plan was actually exactly what Churchill expected. Choose to land from Dover to Folkestone. One is because of the short distance, and the other is because the headquarters has studied this. He believes that the opinions of experts should be followed.

But then he changed his mind, because he found a place that seemed more suitable for landing. It is now the landing point chosen by the German Army, Deer Beach.

The town of Deer is a very old seaside town where residents live on fishing and plantation. This place has a long history, long ago it was a battleground for military strategists. At that time, the famous ruthless man Henry VIII challenged the French three times and five times. After taking advantage of the French, he began to worry that the French would retaliate by hitting the Channel. And Deere was really an excellent landing point. In the end, Henry VIII built two large fortified castles against the sea on this short two-kilometer coast. One of them is the three-tier birthday cake seen by naval combat engineers, Fort Dill, and the other is just across the beach from a beautiful medieval square fort, Fort Worman. The two castles face the sea from south to north, controlling the entire beach head, defending against attacks from the enemy at sea.

This beach has a wide front and a gentle slope. There is only a small sand embankment between the beach and the land. After the slope, it is a two-lane standard road, leading to Dover and Manston. . Across the highway, there are endless flat fields, no hills and no hills, along the plains to the west, 20 kilometers from the coastline is the famous city of Canterbury, that place is only an hour's drive from London.

In Xu Jun's eyes, this wide and flat beach is obviously more suitable for landing than Dover Pestle's artillery cliff fortress and Fawstone with dense houses.

However, Xu Jun also considered that since he can think of it, of course, the British cannot be unprepared. This place is in very good condition. It was originally a coastal resort. There are also bars and rowing clubs on the beach. The waves are low and there are no cliffs and reefs. If no one stops on the shore, the German soldiers can swim directly to the shore. The British will definitely build a solid defensive position there, and Xu Jun has made full psychological preparations for this.

However, because the terrain is very flat, it is very conducive to naval artillery fire attacks and air strikes. It is denser than bushes, covered with highlands and hills, and the Dover area with dark castle barricades is much more favorable than the conditions. In the end, Xu Jun finalized this landing area, and then all plans were prepared around this site.

What Xu Jun didn't expect was that he made an empirical mistake. It is now 1940, not 1944. What he thought of the landing site was not suitable for landing in the eyes of the British at that time. Why? It sounds stupid. The British think the water there is too shallow.

The Royal Navy has been studying landing tactics since the Gallipoli battle suffered a severe loss. After more than ten years, it has been some experience. In their view, Deere may be suitable for the landing of the medieval army across the sea, but it is definitely not suitable for the landing of the modern army.

In the Middle Ages, the army landed on rowboats and sampans. The draft was shallow, the tonnage was small, and dozens of men could directly row the boat to the beach. The shallow waves near Deer are gentle, there are no reef dangerous beaches near the coast, and there are only some submarine sandbars with a depth of less than one meter, which is very suitable for small boats to land. However, in modern warfare, this kind of shallow water beach becomes an obstacle. Modern ships generally have deep draughts. Even inland river barges have to have a draft of about one meter to 1.2 meters, not to mention sea ships.

To land here, the transport ship can only dock at a deep water area one kilometer away from the coast. The Germans had to rely on small boats to carry his soldiers and supplies through the one-kilometer shoal. Only then can we lean on the beach, and then we must pass through a 80-meter-wide soft sandy beach before we can step on the solid land. The infantry can do this. However, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, trucks, and various supplies of oil and ammunition, relying on this method of transfer to and from the ferry to land, may not even be able to go to a battalion for a long time.

If the Germans choose to land here, as long as the coast observation post has a phone. The British bombers at the nearby air force base arrived in a few minutes and taught the Germans how to drink seawater. The landed German Army had no vehicles, no heavy artillery, and no supplies. Relying on the National Self-Defense Force is enough to block their attack, and finally the British Army arrived to easily solve the battle.

The British Navy believes that as long as the Germans retain a little military knowledge and reason, they will never choose this kind of dead landing.

However, the British Coastal Defense Command is still more responsible, and it may be to indicate to the Cabinet that it is not for dry meals. They still designed a textbook-like coastal defense position system for this beach. And the charts were prepared and submitted to the Prime Minister for approval.

At this time, Churchill was thinking about how to deal with the German air raid. On the other side of the defense, he always insisted that the Germans would land on the front line in Dover. He directly planned the infamous Gallipoli landing battle that year. His **** massacre left him fresh in his memory, so he believed that the Germans would never choose to land on a beach without port facilities, and the British had long suffered. Germans will not learn this. So when he saw the document, he asked the secretary to file it without reply. In his opinion, the following people are a little nervous, and he is completely wasting his energy and time.

What Churchill didn't expect was that the chart was sent to Xu Jun's desk in less than three days.

Xu Jun was overjoyed after obtaining the drawings, and immediately ordered the combat office to start a battle deduction according to the defensive array map. A group of generals marshals gathered together to repeatedly scrutinize, then mobilized infantry exercises, and conducted experimental training. The landing plan was finally born. .

In order to prevent the British from discovering their own attempts, the Luftwaffe dared not to conduct low-level investigations, and could only pretend to pass by occasionally, and took a lot of investigation photos from high altitude. Xu Jun and the generals found trenches and air defense bunkers in the photos, and also found traces of the bunkers under construction. They found two buildings that looked like heavy fortresses, and the appearance was very similar to a large shore gun bunker. To the patrol boat on the beach and the air defense turret trestle extending to the sea.

Most of the things can be matched with that drawing, which makes the German generals very satisfied. Obviously the information they obtained is true and reliable. As everyone knows, they saw that sea defense position, but in fact it was only the trench and a few air defense bunkers.

The National Self-Defense Force in Deer Town feels that it is beautiful here. The sky is blue and the sea is white and the sand is clear. So he asked the Coastal Defense Command to strengthen the defense. As a result, only a drawing was thrown down. The Self-Defense Force had no choice but to raise funds to prepare materials and mobilize all the staff to build trenches and positions. However, the weapons placed on these positions were not obtained from beginning to end.

The so-called bunkers that the Germans saw were just toilets and kitchens on several construction sites. The two huge fortresses were built in the 16th century. They were made of pure brick and wood and could not carry modern artillery. They could only be used as coastal air defense observation posts, sea lookouts, and infantry. In the barracks, a company of army recruits was stationed in each fortress. Not only did they lack heavy weapons, they could not even have one rifle. Some people only distributed two grenades and a bayonet. They usually only held wooden sticks. Take part in training.

The patrol boat that the Germans saw was actually an abandoned fishing boat towed ashore. The air defense turret trestle was true, but only that trestle was built, and the anti-aircraft gun still had no effect.

The Germans repeatedly scouted and scrambled a few times. After aligning them back and forth, they found that there was not much change. However, some of the facilities on the drawings have not been found. The German guy’s brain did not turn around. He still secretly praised the vigilance of the British guy. Really high, the camouflage ability is really good, the cover is seamless, and no flaws can be seen at all.

A staff officer who has traveled to Deere pointed out that the two fortresses have been standing there for hundreds of years, but the generals of the headquarters still believe that the British must have carried out a comprehensive transformation of it. The two coastal heavy artillery bunkers, because the Germans will certainly do so.

Both the British and the Germans were immersed in their own self-righteousness, so another funny game was staged. According to Xu Jun’s suggestion, the German Commander’s Office used all means to mislead the British. Whether it was a deliberate intelligence leak or a stately landing exercise, the British were everywhere showing that they were planning to land in Dover.

Xu Jun even ordered the Air Force to cold-bomb all coastal cities from Dover to Portsmouth. In addition to destroying those dangerous chemical weapons, the main purpose was to make Churchill misjudge his attack direction and put the last armor of the British armor. The strength and the final infantry maneuver strength were transferred to the two seaports to ensure that German troops would not be counter-impacted by the British forces within the first 12 hours of landing in Deere, allowing more troops to land smoothly.

If the German landing troops were able to carry the first 24 hours, as long as the first landing cluster all landed, it would no longer be possible to drive the Germans off the sea only with the British Army’s existing maneuvering power. Xu Jun and the headquarters spent countless manpower and material resources, exhausted all kinds of tricks, racked their brains, and attracted Churchill's attention to Dover.

When the latest information showed that the British troops were marching towards the cities of Dover and Folkestone, the entire headquarters meeting room thundered with joy, everyone clapped each other to express their joy and congratulations, and all stood up to applaud Xu Jun , Congratulations to the head of state's plan for success. But what the Germans never expected was that Churchill hadn’t thought about it from the beginning. He had already pointed out that the Germans would land in Dover. No matter if you bullied him or not, he would send troops there. Don't mislead anything.

Under the circumstance of error, both sides thought they were right. The seemingly intimate combination between the two sides of England and Germany seemed to have a good heart, but they did not know that they were actually different. They said to themselves that they didn't pee in a pot at all.

And Xu Jun’s bombing and deception plan caused a chain reaction that he did not anticipate. The British coastal residents were scared by the indiscriminate terrorist bombing and fell into a group of panic, an unpredictable one. The collective escape broke out.

In the villages and towns of the southern coast, as long as they are close to the coastline, the local residents all decisively abandoned their homes and began to flee wildly inland, including Dir next to the sea. The members of the National Self-Defense Forces of Deer Town dragged their home and took the road to escape. The whole town ran cleanly before dark, leaving only empty trenches and bunkers along the coast.

The army infantry in the two ancient castles did not understand what was happening, and watched the residents in the town rushing away like a migratory beast, leaving only an empty town. There, it was dark and dark after dark.

In the evening, the Dover Garrison Command issued an order, and the commanders of both companies were summoned to the fortress for a meeting, leaving only the pile of recruits to guard on the spot. As a result, some relatively good recruits sneaked into the town and smashed the wine cellar in the town’s tavern. Then, of course, Hu Peng called friends to have fun together, and soon became a gathering of all the infantry in the two fortresses. The recruits, who had been traumatized by the army’s food for a long time, took the bacon and salted fish found in the town’s warehouse and ran to the most luxuriously decorated Fort Worman for a cold dinner. After a bitter drink, The snoring infantry lay in every corner of the fortress.

Just as everyone was drunk, the German navy combat engineer sneaked ashore. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and faster!
