Battle of the Third Reich
Vol 5 Chapter 206: The destruction of the empire (2)
The German Army is no stranger to the British Royal Guards. In fact, the two sides have already fought at the border between Belgium and France. ⊙. ⊙
At the beginning of the European war, as a manifestation of the royal posture, the Royal Guards took out most of the elite. Of the five guards, three guards were almost all dispatched, leaving only two in the country. The battalion troops guarded Buckingham Palace.
After all, after the war, the royal family needs to cooperate with the council to carry out a large number of social activities. On many occasions, these lobster teams with bearskin hats are required to show the king's power and majesty.
On the French front, the performance of these guards is notable. The patriotic enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers and their loyalty to the royal family made them look deadly on the battlefield. The result is that from Arras to Dunkirk Beach, with close The body of the soldier in the guard armband lay on the ground.
Perhaps their predecessors were indeed able to fight, and exchanged blood and loyalty for the honor of the Guards, but after decades of singing and dancing, the glorious life of the guard of honor has smoothed their teeth and sharp claws, facing the armed forces. To the fierce Germans of the teeth, bravery and loyalty alone cannot stop the other party from advancing.
In the end, the remaining guard troops laid down their weapons on the Germans at Dunkirk Beach, and now they are squatting with other British captives in the French prison camp to peel potatoes.
The loss of this force was a heavy blow to the royal family, so that for a period of time, the British king refused to accept the wartime cabinet's explanation, and did not appear in public for more than a month to cheer for the people.
In order to make up for the rift with the royal family, when the war cabinet decided to rebuild the British armed forces, the Royal Guard was placed at the highest priority. Whether it was equipment or soldiers, the needs of the Royal Guard could always be met. The efforts of the cabinet ministers were finally rewarded, and the royal family agreed to continue to endorse their decree.
After the king suffered a great loss, he gained a lot of wisdom. The Empire General Staff would like to mobilize this force in the future, it must first obtain the approval of the king. So no matter how lacking of guard forces on the southern coast, the Royal Guards still walked forward and backward on the square in front of Buckingham Palace, showing off their bearskin hats and red uniforms to the citizens.
but. German intelligence shows that this unit is not an embroidered pillow and only plays with flowers. Compared with the group lying in Dunkirk, the combat strength of this reconstructed unit has not declined. Instead, it has been improved.
In order to compensate for the royal family, the British Army recruited a lot of reserve veterans with operational experience when reorganizing the guards, and many basic training companies left by the expeditionary forces were stuffed into the formation. These should have been added. Most of the personnel of the Expeditionary Forces are elite infantry who have undergone long-term training.
"The current situation is a bit complicated. It happened so suddenly that our people could not send the information out for a while. Now we only know that all the five guards have participated in this mutiny, and there are royal members directly involved.
This unit is fully armed, possesses strong firepower, and its soldiers are highly trained, and their morale looks strong. We do not know what magic the British royal family has imposed. These people are eager to fight us and are willing to fight for the king to the last breath. This is ridiculous, and it is simply not logical. Does anyone find that what they are doing now will kill their king? Lieutenant Colonel Nerndorf, who was responsible for intelligence gathering at the Legion Command, complained loudly. After learning of the British mutiny, he was immediately assigned to the front position by the headquarters.
"The things you want are ready, Lieutenant Colonel, are you sure you don't need more guards?"
Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig did not have any interest in Nennedorf’s complaints. He believed that the headquarters’ decision was a waste of time. According to his ideas, since the other party was ready to continue to resist, it was enough to mobilize the army to crush it. The infantry of the five regiments in the area is just so why bother sending troops to conduct negotiations.
"If the British want to kill me, it doesn't make sense to bring as many people as possible." Nerndorf took the white flag from a staff officer. Then he bumped into Ludwig's boots and nodded.
"If I haven't returned in half an hour, you can immediately launch an attack."
"Understand, Lieutenant Colonel Nerndorf. You have to be careful yourself, and good luck." Ludwig paid a farewell to the other.
"Hi! Reinhardt!"
"Hi! Reinhardt!"
Lowering his arm, the intelligence officer held the white flag and turned towards the British barricade on the other side of the street. A second lieutenant staff followed him as a deputy. Ludwig stood in the center of the road and watched Nerndorf for a distance, then turned around and walked towards the staff of the regiment waiting aside.
"Now start the watch. Expect to launch the first attack in thirty minutes. How is the Lamb Regiment? I need their support firepower." Ludwig asked his combat staff.
"The 705 heavy artillery battalion has found a suitable launching position. The headquarters strictly prohibits the use of heavy firepower in the core area of London, so they can only provide us with firepower on the river bank. However, they are transferring a 105 cannon to connect them. Used as direct firepower. Judging from the information we have at present, the opponent's position cannot resist direct fire attacks by heavy cannons." The combat staff reported.
"Then let them speed up. I don’t want to waste too much time on the South Bank. We have to break through the Thames at the fastest speed. The sweeping work here is left to the follow-up troops. I will go to Frey of the 7th Infantry Brigade now. The German colonel discussed the issue of coordinated operations and kept in touch if there were any new situations." Ludwig nodded to his subordinates and got into the barrel truck beside the road.
The tanks of the 25th Armored Regiment had already filled the streets around Wilworth. Taking advantage of the opportunity to rest, many trains began to replenish the spare fuel. The streets of this generation are filled with engine exhaust and gasoline. The pungent breath of steam.
The 1st Infantry Division made an emergency turn while traveling, and began to advance along the Thames towards Waterloo Station. When they learned that they were going to fight the Royal Guards, the soldiers were in high spirits. The officers clamored for an unforgettable lesson for the stupid Englishmen, so that they would hide in the quilt of the dormitory upon hearing the name of Frederick the Great.
The three regiments of the Third Infantry Division deployed on the east side of the South Wall. Once the attack began, they would be responsible for occupying London Bridge Station and the surrounding area, while launching a full-scale attack on the British army guarding the Tower of London across the Thames. The Third Infantry Division had sufficient troops on hand, and the group army also dispatched a heavy artillery regiment to assist them, trying to stop them from crossing the river, unless the **** bridge fell down as sung in the lyrics.
For a time, war broke out on both sides of the Thames, and the war broke out.
