In fact, the level of combat between the Germans and the British is not as great as shown in the results. The British combat forces are actually very good in combat. The accumulation of centuries of empire is very strong for future generations, at least in terms of military strength. Very impressive.

In terms of infantry comparison between the two sides, the combat effectiveness is definitely between Bozhong and Zhong. The Germans have advantages in individual firepower and tactical innovation. The British team wins in artillery firepower and weapon range, which really affects the combat effectiveness of both sides. It is the quality and use of armored forces, as well as the support of the Air Force.

The Germans' aggressive attack was actually in fact after the Air Force destroyed the enemy's assembly area in advance and destroyed the opponent's defense line, then the armored forces with absolute advantages in quantity and quality tore up the opponent's position, and then turned the blaze and dizzy. The remaining enemy troops were handed over to their infantry to clean up.

This combat mode relies on the close cooperation of the German Army and the Air Force with multiple arms, and the experience of various forces in local areas. To put it bluntly, it is actually asymmetric fire suppression tactics. It is the correct way to hide the shortcomings of the large caliber artillery under German production capacity constraints by using air force strikes and rapid assaults by tanks to make up for the disadvantage of its own artillery firepower.

However, in the early days of the British landing, the German combat idea was to transport troops to the British mainland faster and more. This led to a more accurate calculation and analysis of the composition of the transport force. The result of the analysis is that the armored force must be rushed to the UK as a rapid assault force. In order to protect the beachhead, the number of infantry must also reach the level of the group army-so some The secondary equipment was compressed to a rather pitiful amount.

For example, cars, except for a part of the armored forces that need to transport oil and prepare some cars, most German infantry do not have a means of transportation, not even horses. General Lundstedt ’s army headquarters has only more than 20 The size of a car is not as good as that of a second-class infantry army deployed in France.

Because of the lack of motorized infantry that allowed Germany to gallop on the French battlefield, the movement speed of the German army became a more serious problem restricting the German combat. In the face of Norwich's counterattack in Montgomery, England, the main reason for the slow response of the A group army under Lundstedt is that in addition to the armored forces, the movement speed of other troops is indeed not as good as the local British team.

Similarly, as a large-caliber artillery unit that has not been paid much attention to, because of the problem of weight and volume, and the amazing consumption of artillery shells, it has been placed in a relatively backward position. After all, there is naval artillery support at the landing beach, and there are aircraft in the interior to make up, the importance of artillery can only be ignored.

Therefore, on February 20th, only two regiments of 150 mm caliber artillery were deployed in the British mainland as support units. Moreover, these two regiments lacked towing vehicles and artillery shells, and their combat capabilities were very limited. The number of Frederick rockets is quite a lot, but because the ammunition dumping speed is too fast, and the vehicle and gun are integrated, it has a high mobility, and it has become a treasure of the town house that is not reluctant to use. Use.

Therefore, it is clear to everyone that the reason why the British can start a counterattack operation at night, even if they have opened a plug-in, has achieved certain results. As a supplement to the German artillery, the German Air Force ground attack aircraft unit could not be put into the battlefield, so the short-covered artillery short board was highlighted at night, relying on the firepower composed of 120 mm mortar and 105 mm caliber artillery Against a large number of 140mm caliber howitzers in the UK, one can imagine winning or losing.

The British artillery, which was overwhelmed by the German Air Force during the day, could attack the German positions unscrupulously at night, and at night, the German infantry could only compete with the British in the most vulnerable "direct confrontation". It's natural to get twice the result with one's own weaknesses and take advantage of each other's strengths.

Another reason for the high German losses in the British homeland is the decline in the quality of the German offensive troops. In 1919, the German Wehrmacht was compressed to 100,000 people, and then after the continued secret expansion of Akado, until the final blowout, the total number of German Wehrmachts was less than one million. In February 1938, the total number of the German Wehrmacht (including SS) exceeded 5 million—although one third did not yet have the ability to go to the front line, it is indeed an indisputable fact that it has actually tripled the 1 million elite.

For example, everyone knows that the 1st Division of the National Defense Army was trained as an armored force. The old man was the 1st Armored Division in the hands of Guderian. Later, because of the expansion of the army, it was divided into three parts, and part of it became the first armored army. Under the jurisdiction of the 1st Armored Division, part of it became the 1st Infantry Division of the National Defense Forces, and the last batch became the 1st Paratroopers Division in Studente. Later, the 1st Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht was divided into the 1st Infantry Division of the A Group Army now fighting in the United Kingdom and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division still in France.

In this way, in fact, the actual ability of the German army to be hidden under this beautiful aura is clear to everyone, right? Germany claims that the 5 million army is actually full of water. The combat capability of the troops in the rear concentration camp is not much higher than that of the current boy scouts in Britain. Most of the soldiers in the rear are not even equipped with helmets, and the gas masks are luxury equipment.

Therefore, the German a group army under General Lundstedt who landed in the United Kingdom is no longer the A group army when he fought against France. In the hands of the French Lundstedt, he pinched the first, second, fifth, seventh armored forces Almost a third of the armored grenadiers are real ace armored grenadiers equipped with armored vehicles. Now he only has two armored units, the 2nd and 5th Light Armored Corps, and the only infantry unit that can be counted as the main force is the 1st Infantry Division.

It is not difficult to understand why the Germans are not as good as the British at night, and it is not difficult to understand why the Germans are not as powerful as they were in France. The British towns are too dense, the armored troops assault is hindered, the infantry approach is too slow, the lack of heavy weapons can only attack during the day, the combat level of the soldiers declines, and the overall combat performance is actually not as good as the French campaign, which has become the tragic British war Very important reason.

Not just Akado, in fact, the German generals were gambling, and they were reluctant to push the real main force to the British Isles for consumption. So after adding a large number of recruits, they would rather look at the high loss figures, and also gritted their teeth to prepare for the British recruits to train their recruits. They firmly believe that after a fierce urban attack, the British battlefield will provide Germany with more than 200,000 elite infantry who are familiar with urban operations. This is a great benefit for German infantry who lack experience in attack.

As for the delay in combat time, it is no longer a problem. If Germany has not landed in the UK for a long time, then time is good for the UK. Now that the British mainland has become a battlefield, time is no longer a problem.

Why do you say that? Because the German Supreme Command has speculated that the fastest time for Americans to enter a state of war is mid-May, that is, three months later. The generals of Akado all expected that the Battle of the British Isles would end in mid-April. Even if the United States rushed into the war ahead of time, the Battle of Britain had already fought at that time. Even if the United States took the mountains in the north of England It doesn't make much sense to make an essay.

So in terms of time, Germany is now a bit ahead, so the German generals are also willing to spend 15 days fighting their own combat troops in the UK, because there are not many troops that have fought hard in Germany. It is about 1.9 million, and 800,000 troops that have fought bad fights are not there, which is not as scary as the 5.5 million regular troops on paper.

On the day of March 3, the Germans once again repulsed the British symbolic counterattack in the early morning. They have now occupied Haverhill, Royce Shield, and Braintree. On March 1, he captured Colchester and won the important port city of Harwich. Clarkton-on-Sea and Malden also inserted the German flag.

The point is that the Germans crossed the Great Us River on this day, captured March and Huntingdon and Wisbech. The white flag was raised at the head of Peterborough. The remnants of the British 7th Army surrendered to the Germans. There was a huge gap in the line of defense.

Of course Germany will not let this opportunity pass. Kobe, Stanford and Leicester have changed hands one after another. The northernmost German team has been playing until the bank of the Trent River under Nottingham to hold their feet. In the western region, the Germans stormed Coventry, and the British army prepared for the 12th Army in a hurry, and eventually retreated to Birmingham. On March 4, Coventry became a thing in the German army. Then Northampton was captured by the Germans, the road between London and Liverpool was crumbling, and the resistance situation in the whole of Britain was sharply down, making everyone a bit caught off guard.

When Germany is ready to fight a tough battle, the British have surrendered-is it good to fight for good soil? What do you think you should do? Did n’t you send grenades to the civilians, ready to burn all the jade? In the end, Laozi's pants were all taken off, so you can show this to Laozi?

The surrender of the British defenders in the central region has indeed had disastrous consequences for the British defense plan. The hoarded fuel and the complete airport and hundreds of fighter jets were handed over to the German enemy, and even added to the first enemy. 100 m3 tanks of the 7th Army. Of course, what makes the Germans the most happy is the 90 90-mm howitzers.
