Battle of the Third Reich

Although the German armored forces were invincible, when it came to occupying cities, infantry troops were the main force. ↑,. In the infantry cluster currently participating in the battle of London, five of the infantry divisions have all entered the city of London, and the remaining infantry divisions are all on standby, and commanders at all levels are ready to respond to emergencies. Once something changes in the city, you can immediately support the occupying troops stationed in the city.

At this moment, most of the citizens of London chose to hide and watch at home. At this time, there were many rumors on the market, and every communicator was plausible, making people wonder who they should believe. Therefore, until the current situation is not completely clear, still stay at home and be careful.

Because the German army did not dispatch a large-scale bombing by the Air Force during the battle, the battle was only concentrated in a few core areas, and most of the residential blocks were not affected. The military did not sound the air raid alarm, so most people decided to stay in their houses instead of going to the crowded air-raid shelter and breathing the muddy air with the sloppy refugees.

After more than 20 years of hard work in the city of London, many large air defense bunkers have been built, but for this huge capital with 8 million permanent residents, this number cannot even meet the most basic needs.

In the early days of the war, whenever the air raid alarm sounded, the air raid shelter was full of people who came to take refuge. People of all classes and identities were crowded into the same tunnel or cave all night, hundreds of thousands of people were inside. Eating and drinking Lhasa, the smell of these places quickly became suffocating. At the same time, because the public's identity was uneven, there were always some black horses who used the muddy water to touch the fish, which caused a series of security problems. And because they were too crowded, the guards were responsible for these crimes. The behavior was helpless. As a result, many citizens preferred to stay at home and get a German bomb, rather than take their family members into the dirty, sultry and stinky hell.

The British government has been encouraging citizens of London to dig up air defense trenches in their backyards because the capacity of the city’s air defense works is really limited and it is impossible to protect everyone. However, this method can only disperse people in some suburban neighborhoods. Not every family can have a backyard. Most of the residents in the urban area live in large apartments, which can only be avoided by those government air defense facilities, so the problem of congestion is still there, and there is no slight relief.

Start in the morning. German infantrymen entered the underground maze of London under the guidance of British collaborators. The task of these soldiers was to search for and expel civilians hiding in tunnels and tunnels as well as the collapsed British officers and men.

To completely occupy a city of this size is the first experience for the Germans. Several commanders of the e-group army had no similar experience before, let alone let them come up with a mature plan.

Although the Germans had previously occupied some European capitals. But neither the size of the city nor the population of the city is comparable to London. Paris, France, is at the same level as London. Perhaps it can be said that it is superior to it, but the fall of Paris and London is completely different, and there is no comparison at all.

Paris was declared an undefended city at that time. The French surrendered to the Germans and entered the city. There was no blood left. The entire city system in Paris was complete and the government operated smoothly. There were a lot of local officials who cooperated with the management of the Germans. There was no need for the Germans to use their brains. As long as the request is made, the French will arrange everything immediately.

But the British are not the same thing at all. Their political system and mode of governance are very different from European countries. The difference is almost as if they are in two dimensions. Until now, Bock and Rondestede have not yet understood the operation mode of the city. They can only order the soldiers to occupy the city’s key facilities according to the practice in the European battlefield. What should be done next, these two There is still no clue.

The British political bureaucracy is too complicated, and in the eyes of the two Germans it is a mess. In fact, this is the result of hundreds of years of political struggles between the various power factions in Britain, and the big figures occupying the peak of power compromised and restricted each other. Eventually formed a complex government system in Britain.

In order to expand the power and install the party gangs, the bureaucracy is layered on top of each other, and outsiders seem to be clear for the division of labor. In fact, they are changing the pattern and using public money to support a large number of redundant officials. These bottom bureaucrats have become the tentacles of their hands as the eyeliners of big men. For hundreds of years, British political aristocrats have relied on this method. Manipulating this empire, what democracy and justice, that is the slogan used to anesthetize ignorant civilians.

right now. Bock and Lundstad were finally freed, and the great and wise heads of state sent angels... Special envoys, who were solely responsible for the British occupation, including the restoration of the operation of the British government. The two army commanders did not hesitate to express everything They all obeyed the arrangement of the lieutenant general, and they were very happy that someone could carry this cauldron for them.

"This is an ancient and energetic empire. Their people are full of identity and pride in the country and the nation. Although their morale has been severely hit at present, do not expect them to admit defeat so easily. "Weirler was standing in the conference room of the British War Department building, with a huge map of the whole of the United Kingdom and a map of the city of London hanging behind it.

The building has now been placarded with the command of the occupying army in London, Germany, and has also become a temporary station for the e-group command.

"I feel the same about it. The British are not that simple, Weirler." von Bock, holding a red and blue pencil, leaned on his chin and looked at a map of southern England on the table with a lot of arrows drawn on it. , Each of which represents the actions of a military unit.

"We can't waste too much time in this city. There are already signs of large-scale assembly of troops in the Scottish region. We must make a response plan immediately. I will make recommendations to the headquarters and immediately start the offensive operations in the North of England. The plan, General Lundstad must agree with me."

"Yes, I agree with you. General Bock, and our supplies are being consumed very quickly. This war cannot be delayed indefinitely. We have to pay millions of marks every day, especially now for the follow-up troops. As we continue to ascend this island, the pressure on our logistics will increase exponentially.

I suggest that if the British problem is not resolved within a week, I request the headquarters to agree to our proposal to launch a blitz battle on the scale of the army group in the north of the UK. "Lundstad has always regretted not squeezing into the landing lineup, but the name of the Scottish conquistador sounds good, and he personally likes it very much.

"You can make these suggestions to the headquarters on your own. If the head of state and the colleagues of the headquarters agree. I personally think there is no problem. I am also very troubled by the current situation. So I decided to divide the problem into several steps to solve it. But this aspect needs the cooperation of the group army headquarters." Weierle stood at the table and looked at the two group army commanders on each side.

"We will fully cooperate with your work, Weierle. You don't have to worry about this. I will arrange a liaison lieutenant to follow you. You can mobilize any force in the group army without obtaining my approval." Bok generously 'S support will be fully supported, and the opportunity to please Weierle is rare.

"I am the same. Weiler, my troops will follow your movements at any time, and I will also arrange a liaison officer to assist you in your work." Longstad also expressed his attitude.

"Thank you very much, General Bock, General Ronderstad, and I will specifically mention this in a phone call with the head of state tonight. Now let’s talk about the specific work we need to do today." Weierle walked to the map Beside, he picked up an indicator stick against the wall.

"According to the reports of the various forces, we can now declare that the German Wehrmacht has occupied the entire territory of London. The occupation of the Western and core areas is part of the B Group Army of the Cyprus Corps and General Bock, plus the troops stationed in the outer suburbs. The total strength is Five infantry divisions and an armored division, occupying the southern and eastern sectors are part of the r group army of the Guderian Army and General Rondestede.

We know that General Guderian’s forces are now chasing the British mob in the northwest, so the area is mainly relying on the r group army. There are about two infantry divisions and a light armored regiment entering the city. The east side of the city has reached the estuary of the Thames, which is blocked by the German Navy and some light infantry divisions. There are about two infantry divisions. "

"Yes, this is roughly the case now, Weiler, tell me about your next plan." Bock glanced at his notebook. Confirm that the data is correct.

"We have occupied London's waterworks, power plants, gas plants, substations, sluices and pumping stations at all levels. These key infrastructures are currently in good condition and can be operated normally. Here I request the deployment of troops to strictly control these facilities. For protection, it must be ensured that during the period before the British surrender agreement is signed, the infrastructure of London can basically function normally.

At the same time, the units we need to control have various food storages. Each warehouse of living materials counts the current amount of remaining materials. In this regard, we need to cooperate with the British officials who were originally responsible for these matters. Prior to this, we have to bear the daily supplies of the city, which is a test for our logistics unit, and I will also seek British assistance.

We are going to send more soldiers to patrol the streets today, so that more British people can actually see them, and let them feel that our soldiers are just like ordinary people. They are no more than their foreheads. There are two sharp corners on the top, and there is no sharp knife in his mouth when walking. "Weirler glanced at the two generals. The other nodded in agreement, he pointed to the map and continued.

"There are many important areas that we want to occupy, and these places must be strictly protected, such as the University of London, the British Museum, the Imperial War Museum, and the Imperial Library, courts, telephone offices, post offices, radio stations, newspapers, majors We have to send troops to control hospitals, places of interest, banks and financial exchanges, some facilities can continue to operate, and some are temporarily closed for storage, depending on the specific circumstances.

There are also military installations, command organs, arsenals and military production enterprises in some cities, especially some military research institutes. They must immediately send troops to occupy, blockade and clean up, and cannot allow military weapons and important production tools and research data to be dispersed.

Finally, starting today, the collection of arms and weapons in the hands of city residents, as long as our soldiers still want to move in this city, this problem must be resolved immediately. "Weirler put down the indicator stick and went to the window to open the curtain.

"Gentlemen, this city is actually a volcano. Our mission is very clear. It is to extinguish it completely before it erupts."
