Iron Germany

"Da da da!"

On the positions of the German 2nd Infantry Division, general-purpose machine guns and squad machine guns were roaring, and dense bullets enveloped the British army like a storm.

The attacking British soldiers had already left a thick layer of corpses in front of their line of defense.

In the sky, several German H1 bombers flew by, and bombs fell like raindrops.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosion sounded in the queue of the British army, and many British soldiers were blown away, and their fragile bodies were like fallen leaves.

In order to evacuate Canterbury, the British army launched a fierce attack on the German defense line. However, none of them could successfully break through the German defense line and retreat to London. Most of the British soldiers either fell under the powerful firepower of the German army, or raised their hands and surrendered to the German army.

In the absence of any hope, for many people, keeping their own lives is undoubtedly the most important thing. As for the others, they can be temporarily abandoned.

When the German 3rd Army and 8th Army joined forces to solve the British 3rd Army and 8th Army and joined the British attack on Canterbury, the British could no longer escape back to London. Under such circumstances, the remaining British troops surrendered one after another, and the Battle of Canterbury came to an end.

The result of the Battle of Canterbury ended in a disastrous defeat for the British army. Of the seven group armies assembled by the British army in the southeast theater, more than 1.4 million people, less than 200,000 fled back to London. The rest either died on the battlefield or went into German prisoner-of-war camps. The German army's four legions plus five marine divisions totaled more than 1.1 million people, and less than 50,000 people were seriously injured or killed. Compared with their victories, such losses are undoubtedly much smaller.

After winning the Battle of Canterbury, the German army did not immediately attack London, but took a short rest. The British army is already in full swing in London, and it would be meaningless to launch an attack immediately at this time. It's better to let the tired soldiers take a break and replenish their combat supplies. Especially technical weapons such as tanks suffer great losses in battle. Many tanks lost to technical failures could be repaired as long as replacement parts arrived.

The German Combat Command against Britain also moved from Calais to Dover. The commander, Marshal von Falkenhain, also set foot on British territory.

"Everyone, His Majesty the Emperor is very satisfied with the victory on the front line. In this battle, we wiped out the main force of the British army at a small price. Although there are nearly three million British troops left. However, the real elite There are not many more. It is impossible to resist our army's attack!" Marshal von Falkenhain's face was full of smiles.

Of course, the war against Britain has only just begun. However, Marshal von Falkenhain believed that they would be able to make persistent efforts and defeat the British in a very short period of time.

The commanders of several legions were also very happy. The victory at the Battle of Canterbury can be regarded as a complete victory. Next, just take London and wipe out the remaining main force of the British army around London. Then, the war against Britain can be regarded as a victory.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, when will we launch an attack on London? Although, the British have assembled 1.2 million people in London. However, the elite is not as good as the southeast of England. With our current strength, winning London will be a sure thing! "Admiral Crook said.

The British army deployed only six armies in London, namely the 4th Army, 5th Army, 10th Army, 11th Army, 12th Army and 13th Army. For a long time in the past, the only job of the more than one million British troops was to frantically build defensive positions in and around London. Every road, every street or every house was regarded by them as an important stronghold against the German attack. British War Secretary Richard Haldane is determined to build London into a fortress.

Richard Haldane knew very well that it was almost impossible to rely on more than one million British troops to resist the powerful German army. Their only way is to strengthen the defense as much as possible, and use these fortifications to consume the vital strength of the German army. In this case, there may be a chance of success.

Of course, after such a war, London will inevitably be reduced to ruins. But, no one cares anymore. If it cannot withstand the German attack, the whole of Britain will fall. Rather than that, it would be better to destroy London and leave a ruin to the Germans. If God blesses them and they resisted the German attack in London, perhaps the war situation will develop in favor of Britain. At worst, a decent peace can be had for less. This is very necessary for the UK.

In addition, the British deployed a large number of mines at the Thames estuary, which has completely blocked it. Therefore, it is impossible for the warships of the German Navy to bombard London. This made the German army lose an important boost when it attacked London, and could only rely on the army's own artillery and air support. In order to reduce the casualties when attacking London, the German army will definitely spend a lot of shells when attacking London. Therefore, Marshal von Falkenhain hoped that when the attack began, he would be fully prepared.

"Don't worry about the attack on London. London is there, and he can't escape. It is obviously impossible for the British to give up London and hand it over to us. Therefore, we can rest for a few days before launching an attack. The previous battles consumed a lot of combat supplies of the troops. We also need to use this time to replenish them!" Marshal von Falkenhain said.

Admiral Crook nodded, and he also knew that the current troops really needed time to rest.

"Gentlemen, the attack on London is very important. Whether we can quickly take the whole of Britain depends on whether we can destroy the last main force of the British army in London. Therefore, I hope that we will not only capture London, but also The main force of the British army will be wiped out here," said Marshal von Falkenhain.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal!" Everyone replied.

The rest of the German army lasted for a full week. After that, the German army began to attack London.

On September 12, the four armies of the German army divided into four groups and marched towards London. The huge army of millions of people has the potential to eat up all the British troops gathered around London.
