The Energy Group Military Headquarters also respects this combat plan, at least in terms of weapons and ammunition. Hundreds of large transport aircraft carry tens of thousands of tons of ammunition every day.

A survey was conducted above, and it seems that at least more than 500,000 tons of various types of ammunition need to be transported to the front line to meet the needs of the campaign.

However, this number was estimated before Liu Tao and the others attacked the last seaport in the south. After that battle, the ammunition was obviously insufficient. Li Cong personally approved 1.5 million tons of ammunition, and also received additional supplies from the local army.

Two rocket launcher regiments were drawn out and brought more than 800 rocket launchers to the battlefield in Turqi. A battalion of 120 rocket launchers was assigned to Li Sen to defend the 400,000 Europa troops on the opposite side, 400 rocket launchers were assigned to Li Yin, and the rest were assigned to Liu Tao.

Of course, the main reason is because of the Apocalypse tanks in Liu Tao's army, which are very powerful.

It can be said that the pilots of the Energy Group's strategic transportation team have not rested at all in the past few days. They are constantly transporting large amounts of ammunition to the front line. Many people are eager to take a nice rest, but they all know that it is not them now.

When they can rest, they must quickly transport these ammunition to end the war here. After the war here is over, they will probably have time to rest again. The transport fleet from the African base carries millions of tons of ammunition.

All kinds of materials are also on the sea. Their mission is to transport a large amount of various materials. From now on, this will be another rear base of the energy group.

General Joy also clearly felt that the past few days were different. He had already received orders from above. They had to retreat when necessary. Although the Pope still had one million troops, but two million troops

The Holy See has not been able to open up any situation. Now there are only half of the people. If you still put your confidence in them, it is simply an insult to yourself. Moreover, what these people have done is not worth helping them. Europa

The highest level of the government has already made a plan. They are going to build a huge defense line along the Turqi coast. They will be stationed there for a long time in the future. Although General Joy does not like to bring the war to his own country, he must not.

I don't believe this is the most correct way at the moment.

The Holy See seems to know something. In the past few days, the Pope has been sending people over to ask General Joey what to do next. At this time, the Pope's idea is that even if these people propose a plan to let his troops die,

The plan is also very good. Who knows that these people in Europa have no plan at all. Their plan is to defend in place, but this is only on the surface. General Joy has also noticed the actions of the Energy Group. It turns out that

The retreat plan is no longer possible. They already have a battle plan waiting for you. If you still leave at this time, it is estimated that you can go back a third of it. You must know that even though Europa has expanded its army, it still maintains its

There are five million standing troops, and ten million can be mobilized at any time, but these troops are all veterans on the battlefield. These are valuable assets in the army, and the existence of these people can help Europa obtain a lot of benefits, so

The top management instructed General Joey to go back. On the surface, General Joey is still the same as before, but this guy has started to have other ideas at this moment.

General Joey saw the Holy See's army. These more than one million people were still very useful. It was necessary to let them help. He had helped them a lot here, and now he finally had to use them.

It's time, they have to show their own value. Otherwise, the meaning of living will be lost.

Soon General Joey had another idea in his mind. It turned out that there was no need for these people at that time, so he could be cold to them. Now that they are needed, he can no longer have this attitude. If he wants to ask others for help, he comes to the conclusion

A little more effort.

"Come here. Send 100,000 tons of rice to the Holy See Army, saying that we gave it to them, and then ask their liaison officer to see me. I want to discuss something important with the Pope." General Joy's attitude was not good.

It's just that he feels strange. The staff officers outside don't know what's wrong with his boss? He didn't sleep well last night. He has a cold or something? When he gave them food, they didn't ask their people to beg for a long time.

, this is the first time that we take the initiative to give them food, it is absolutely the first time, and when something happens, our general has never said that he will discuss it with the Pope. That guy doesn’t know anything about military affairs.

The most important thing is to give him an order. Although it is strange, the general's order must be carried out quickly, otherwise it will delay the military affairs, which is not something I can afford.

Just two days before the Energy Group was preparing to attack, because some troops had not yet arrived at the scheduled location, the Europa army sent two armies to start fighting with the Energy Group's army. The Pope also sent 800,000 troops southward.

, their lair only left 600,000 old, weak, sick and disabled to defend. What is going on? Could it be that something happened? The sudden attack made the three of them a little uncomfortable. They divided their forces into several groups to attack.

It seems that they are just looking for death. If they concentrate their forces, they may be able to rush out part of them. But if they are all separated now, it is probably impossible to escape. After all, they must divide their forces when they have an absolute advantage.

Now is obviously not a good time to divide our forces.

General Joey didn't know, but now he had no other choice. He spent more than an hour deducing the energy group's plan. Although his guess was not necessarily accurate, it was at least close to ten.

In this case, it would be good if one-tenth of his elite men could escape, but if he could follow his plan, although his army could only escape 200,000 people, these 200,000 people would be able to escape.

They are all the elites of the Europa army, but these weapons and equipment will definitely not go back. This is another Dunkirk... General Joy's thoughts are a hundred years ago, although it is not England.

Strait. However, the current transportation capacity is not comparable to that of the past.

The Dunkirk evacuation (battle of dunkirk in English; batailed de dunkeue in French) took place in May 1940 at the beginning of World War II. After the British and French coalition defense lines collapsed under the rapid offensive of German mechanized forces, the British army retreated to Dunkirk, a city in northeastern France.

The largest military evacuation operation in history at the time was carried out in a port city near the Belgian border. This operation, code-named "Project Dynamo", enabled the British to finally use various ships to withdraw a large number of troops. Although this large-scale

The retreat operation successfully saved a large number of manpower, but all the heavy equipment of the British expeditionary force stationed in France was abandoned on the European continent, causing serious problems in the ground defense of the British mainland.

General Joy’s teacher was the main person who caused the retreat. However, his teacher’s teacher at the time was a German, which was a joy to behold. However, one of the ancestors of General Joy’s family was a member of the British Expedition at that time.

Jun, he still remembers the diary written by the elder in his family about those days.

Under fierce attack from German artillery fire, thousands of ships of various colors moved towards Dunkirk.

This is a weird "Armada": there are brightly colored French fishing boats, tourist boats carrying passengers. There are also maintenance ships and tug barges, small escort ships, minesweepers, trawlers, destroyers, British air rescue ships, radars

Sentinel ship...

This extremely bizarre and indescribable fleet is driven by a variety of British and French people. Among them are bankers, dentists, taxi drivers, speedboat drivers, dockworkers, teenagers, engineers, fishermen and civil servants.

Officials...among them are delicate-skinned sea scouts and old men with bronzed skin and pale hair. Many of them are obviously poor. They have no coats and wear shabby sweaters and sanitary shirts. They wear rubber shoes with cracks.

, covered in sea water and rain, and in the biting cold wind, they were hungry...

This strange fleet was unarmed and unescorted under the bombardment of artillery fire, but the brave people faced the hail of bullets and smoke and fire, and moved forward flexibly on the sea where the sunken ship was floating. Knowing that there was hell ahead, they also

Fearless. For what purpose does this courageous fleet move forward bravely?

Nazi Germany began its attack on Western Europe on May 10, 1940. At that time, Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg had 147 divisions and more than 3 million troops. Their military strength was equivalent to that of Germany. However, France's strategy was rigid and conservative, and it only pinned its hopes on them.

The Maginot Line, which thought it was impregnable, declared no war against Germany. On the German-French border, there were only small-scale exchanges of fire and no major battles. The famous "strange war" occurred in history.

However, the German army did not attack the Maginot Line. They first attacked Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and bypassed the Maginot Line and crossed the river from the Sedan area into France. The iron hooves of German fascism soon entered the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

On May 21, the German army headed straight for the English Channel. It surrounded nearly 400,000 British and French troops in a small area of ​​northern France, leaving only Dunkirk, a small port with only 10,000 residents, as a sea retreat.

The situation was extremely critical, and the port of Dunkirk was an extremely vulnerable target to continuous attacks by bombers and artillery fire. If 400,000 people retreated from this port, the consequences would be disastrous under intense German artillery fire.

The British government and navy mobilized a large number of sailors and mobilized the people to rescue the army. Their plan was to strive to evacuate 30,000 people.

People complained and quarreled endlessly about the tragedy that was about to happen. They lashed out at the incompetence and tyranny of the upper echelons, but still risked their lives to evacuate the troops without fear. So there was a strange incident that drove to Dunkirk.

"The Invincible Fleet".

There are ships requisitioned by the government in this fleet, but most of them are people who spontaneously go to pick up the troops. They have not registered or received orders, but they have something more powerful than organization. This is Britain

The spirit of a nation to conquer the ocean. An Englishman who personally participated in picking up the troops later recalled:

"Driving in the dark is dangerous. The clouds were low, the moon was dim, and the stars were dark. We had no lights, no signs, and no way to distinguish between friends and foes. When we were less than halfway across the sea, we started to return with the first batch of people.

The fleet of ships met. As we avoided the white waves of the fleet passing by the bow, we fell into the half-dark shadow of the ship in front. There were often shouts in the darkness, but they were just occasional trumpets. We'

Sail by guesswork and by God."

The soldiers waiting to board the ship were very disciplined. They had been fighting for three weeks to evacuate, retreating, often losing command, isolated, sleep deprived, hungry and thirsty, but they remained in formation until the ship arrived.

On the beach, they still obeyed the command. These tired soldiers staggered across the beach to the boat; a large number of people braved bombing and strafing and waded into the water. The people in front were in water as deep as their shoulders. Their heads were just between the waves rushing to the shore.

They didn't get on the boat until they were no more than shoulder-deep. The small boat ferrying from the shore to the big ship was tilted crookedly because of too many people...

Some large ships almost washed ashore regardless of the danger of low tide...

There are wreckage of a destroyer hit by bombs and abandoned ambulances on the beach...

All this is reflected in the red background, this is Dunkirk burning. There is no water to put out the fire. No one has time to put out the fire...

There was a hellish and terrifying noise everywhere. The artillery kept firing, the cannons roared, the fire flashed, the sky was filled with noise, anti-aircraft gunfire, machine gunfire... It was impossible for people to speak normally. Those who had fought in Dunkirk

Everyone has an extremely hoarse voice - a mark of honor called "Dunkirk Voice".

Under such dangerous conditions, this motley fleet rescued 335,000 people in about a week.

This is the miracle that shocked the world - the Dunkirk evacuation.

When General Joy's family predecessor returned to the British mainland, he was extremely excited about this operation. At that time, everyone thought it was a miracle of war. Indeed, this is still the case today. General Joy has already made himself famous.

The plan has been reported, and Europa has also begun to organize a fleet. They don't need to follow the same rules as last time. Although the people at the top are not very united at this time, facing the elite troops of 200,000, they understand

They knew very well what to do. Even if they could save one million recruits, they couldn't be more capable than the two hundred thousand troops, so they all agreed to the plan. But they still had questions. Hitler had given the order that year.

Only with an order to stop advancing would they have time to retreat. How could the energy group be so stupid now?

When the German army was approaching Dunkirk from the west, south and east, and the nearest German tanks were only 10 miles away from the port, on May 24, the German army received an order to stop the advance personally issued by Hitler.

Hitler's order confused the generals of the German tank forces. Guderian even looked up to the sky and sighed. Dunkirk was within easy reach, but he was ordered to stop advancing! But the German air force was attacking. This order later caused a stir

The controversy over the incident was considered by many military historians to be a foolish order by Hitler to arbitrarily interfere with military command.

In fact, Hitler's order had his own considerations, and it cannot be entirely attributed to his sole responsibility. First of all, after the war in northern France became clear, the German army needed to preserve the strength of its armored forces for the next combat operation. In addition, Goering

Assured Hitler that the air force could destroy the coalition forces in Dunkirk. The terrain of Dunkirk was full of swamps and low-lying areas, which was not conducive to the advancement of the armored forces, and there was no need for the armored forces to suffer losses. The German General Headquarters had planned for Army Group B to complete the final encirclement in a unified manner

Secondly, although the coalition's piecemeal counterattacks had little effect, they aggravated the concerns of some senior German commanders about the loss of armored units, because the rapidly advancing armored units left the infantry units far behind. On the 24th, Hitler visited Army Group A

The war diary of the Group Headquarters and Runstedt Command records that during the meeting, Runstedt suggested that the armored divisions on the canal line not far from Dunkirk should stop advancing and wait for more infantry units to respond. Hitler agreed.

He accepted this suggestion and believed that the armored forces should be preserved for use when attacking the French forces south of the Somme River. At the same time, German Air Force Commander Göring ensured that the air force could take on the task of destroying the allied forces in the encirclement. Another possibility was also considered

This was the reason that prompted Hitler to issue the order. He was worried that the armored forces would be trapped in the river-crisscrossed area outside Dunkirk and fall into positional warfare, unable to quickly block the retreat of the British and French troops.

In addition, some people believe that Hitler had a political intention to withdraw some British troops to the UK, which would politically help to negotiate peace with the UK. Some people, including the commanders of the frontline armored forces, expressed opposition and believed that they should continue to move forward. However, this peace agreement

Hitler's Order No. 13 issued on the 24th was inconsistent. In Order No. 13, Hitler ordered Army Group B to cooperate with the Air Force to eliminate the British, French, and Belgian troops in the encirclement as soon as possible.

The result of the execution of this order was that the British and French forces retreated towards Dunkirk under the pressure of the German Army Group B in front of them, while Army Group A, which cut off their retreat, was closer to Dunkirk but west of Dunkirk.

The offensive in the canal area stopped and did not mass troops to outflank along the coast, which gave the British and French coalition forces an opportunity. Now the coalition forces are fighting for survival and strengthening the defensive positions close to Dunkirk. Although the German armored forces on May 27

The offensive was resumed to prevent the British and French forces from retreating from Dunkirk, but they faced the enemy's organized defense line and were unable to break through. The British and French forces successfully delayed the German attack and bought more time for the troops to evacuate Dunkirk. But Gu

Derian's memories ("Blitz Heroes") also mentioned that his troops did not stop attacking after the 24th. And Carles's British army did not surrender until 16:45 on the 26th. On that day, Hitler had already
To be continued...
