The British are still holding on, or the entire alliance is still holding on. Amidst the explosions of bombs and strafing of machine guns, thousands of ships of various colors are heading towards Dunkirk.

Some of them drove tourist boats, some drove maintenance boats to tow barges, small escort ships, minesweepers, trawlers, destroyers, and even British air rescue ships and radar picket ships... There were all kinds of people coming under the hail of bullets.

Various professions, whether they are French, Belgian or Dutch stranded in the UK, are doing their best to save the coalition soldiers trapped in Dunkirk.

Among them are bankers, dentists, car drivers, speedboat drivers, dock workers, teenagers, engineers, fishermen and civil officials... Among them are delicate-skinned sea scouts and old men with bronzed skin and white hair.

Persistence can sometimes lead to victory, but sometimes it may not. This earth-shattering retreat came to an end after five days.

At that time, the main force of the German army had already entered the city of Dunkirk. First, the 40,000 French [***] troops used to block the attack were defeated and captured. Later, the British fleet and other ships learned the news,

Fighter planes gradually evacuated Dunkirk.

When the city of Dunkirk was captured, everyone knew that there was no hope. The commander of the British Expeditionary Force, Gott, was ordered to return home, and he handed over command to Alexander, the commander of the 1st Army.

Obviously, Alexander was just a scapegoat. When those warships, ships and fighter planes withdrew under the desperate eyes of the coalition forces, Alexander chose to surrender to the Germans.

In this battle, the British army lost more than 300 aircraft, 11 destroyers, and 300 ships of various types. More than 50,000 people were killed and more than 200,000 were captured.

The German army defeated the coalition forces at a cost of 140 fighter planes, 80 tanks, and 18,000 men. At the same time, they captured nearly 1,200 artillery pieces, 750 anti-aircraft guns, 500 anti-tank guns, 63,000 vehicles, and 75,000 vehicles.

10,000 motorcycles, 700 tanks, 21,000 machine guns, 6,400 anti-tank guns and 500,000 tons of military supplies.

In the Battle of Dunkirk, the British considered it a victory even if they said they won. They also considered a loss if they said they lost. They said it was a victory because their original plan was only to evacuate 30,000 people.

But now as many as 100,000 people have been evacuated, completely exceeding their expectations. Therefore, this battle is a victory for the British. But even if it is a failure, it can still be passed.

The British paid a higher price than budgeted to evacuate these 100,000 people. On the beaches of Dunkirk, more than 200,000 coalition soldiers were captured. This has to be said to be a huge failure.

But both Germany and Britain unanimously claimed that they had won the battle. The British believed that they evacuated up to 100,000 troops from Dunkirk under extremely harsh conditions, which was even higher than that of Dunkirk.

Their own expectations. Therefore, this is a "unity" victory for them.

In the eyes of the Germans, capturing more than 200,000 people, killing more than 50,000 people, and seizing so much military supplies was an undoubted victory in itself.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and kept quarreling with each other. Because they both knew that after the quarrel was over, there would be a real fight. Hitler would not give up the idea of ​​attacking the British mainland, and Britain would never sit still and wait for death.

It has to be said that the British were much unluckier than they had been in history. Historically, the British had nine days to retreat, but here they only had five days left.

Historically, because the Dunkirk area was mostly rainy, heavy fog, light rain, and filled with gunpowder smoke, the German Air Force only conducted two and a half days of operations on May 27, May 29, and June 1, 1940.

Massive bombing.

During the rest of the time, either a small formation of 3 or 5 aircraft disrupted the air raids, or they were not dispatched at all. But now there was no such weather in Dunkirk, and Goering, who was going crazy, decisively flew thousands of aircraft

Fighter planes were dispatched to attack continuously.

Originally, the tank group that Guderian had assembled to attack Dunkirk did not stop advancing due to orders. Instead, it continued to break through Dunkirk, and finally captured Dunkirk four days earlier than in history.

Originally, the soft sandy beaches of Dunkirk made it difficult for the bomb shrapnel dropped by German aircraft to disperse effectively, greatly reducing the lethality. But now the German Air Force has sufficient fighter planes, they can even use cannons and airborne machine guns to directly attack the ground

British troops and ships strafed.

Those warships were better, and the civilian ships that came to help the retreat were no different than paper in front of the machine guns and machine guns.

"Our allies in Europe have won a huge victory that belongs to them! Those proud British guys, the Sunless Empire that once stretched across the ocean, retreated in panic under their brave attack!" Yamamoto Isoroku and

Nagumo Chuichi was giving lectures to the First Air Fleet of the Southern Chiba Islands.

After the Germans won a great victory in the European War, Yamamoto Isoroku was under pressure from the top: The war can no longer be delayed! Now the British have no time to look around, and France has perished. If we don't take those things by now,

Regarding the interests of Southeast Asia, Japan will have nothing to gain by the time Germany recovers.

Under this eager thought, Yamamoto Isoroku could only have the First Air Fleet fully equipped to prepare for the implementation of "Operation Z Plan".

"And now is the time for us to make contributions to the empire! We need to prove that our Empire of Japan and our Imperial Navy can also strive for glory for the empire!" Yamamoto Isoroku shouted loudly to the fleet sailors below: "Let's go

Go! Towards the direction of the sun! For the sake of the Japanese Empire! For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Onboard! Onboard..." The mobilization was completed, and countless Japanese navy sailors and naval officers standing on the battleships were waiting for the ship. In just a moment, the entire First Air Fleet set off slowly towards the Pacific Ocean.

"Nagumo! I'll leave it to you for this three thousand nautical mile voyage!" Yamamoto said secretly in his heart. Although he also had great confidence in Nagumo Chuichi, this was still a battle involving the fate of the entire Japan. He couldn't help but feel

There is some worry.

At the departure point of the First Air Fleet, the other fleets of the Japanese Navy, the newly formed air force, and the army landing combat force were all holding their breath, waiting for the news of the "Operation Z Plan".

Only if Operation Plan Z succeeds, they will immediately launch a full-scale war. If not, they may be forced to adjust their strategy.

As the waves crashed, Zhan Mao and Qi Zishi watched the undulating waves on the side of the cruise ship, each with their own thoughts. Behind them, there were dozens of men scattered around, paying careful attention to the surroundings.

"Old Zhan, our mission when we go back this time is not easy..." Qi Zishi broke the silence and said to his old classmate: "Originally, I was wondering if the commander-in-chief was making a mountain out of a molehill. After all, there are countries such as Britain, France, and the Netherlands in Southeast Asia.

With hundreds of thousands of troops, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

"But when Germany attacked these white-skinned pigs, they were exactly what the commander-in-chief said—the foreign force was powerful and the Chinese force did it."

"Who said it wasn't?!" Zhan Mao sighed helplessly, turned around and said to Qi Zishi: "Originally, we were going back to China to fight the war, but we didn't expect that in the blink of an eye we would have to go back to Southeast Asia to fight the war. What the fuck?

What's the matter?"

After a pause, Zhan Mao grabbed the railing and looked at the blue sea and said: "That's good. If those white-skinned pigs are gone, we will have a chance to take over Southeast Asia. Otherwise, these white-skinned pigs will be useless to us Chinese."

There is no good intention. The current situation is not suitable for us to clean them up, so let the Japanese do it."

Qi Zishi smiled and nodded, then frowned and thought for a while and said: "Our Nanyang Military Division now has three districts, plus the estimated number of 30,000 people who came back from the advance team before, it is really a question whether we can hold Nanyang.

.”

"Well...you don't have to worry about that. Didn't the commander-in-chief say that?! We are just guerrilla warfare and will not easily fight head-on with the Japanese army." Zhan Mao smiled and said: "My chief of staff, don't worry.

Not to mention Hongmen’s foundation in Nanyang, there are also many nails everywhere.”

"Before I came out, General Wang from all over the place found me. He told me this matter to reassure me."

Hearing this, Qi Zishi couldn't help but asked Zhan Mao with great interest: "Oh?! Have you seen that assassin king?! His reputation is not small, what does he look like?! Tell me."

Zhan Mao smiled and recalled saying to Qi Zishi: "There is nothing special about him, he is just very kind. He wears a pair of glasses and is polite and not tall."

Having said this, Zhan Mao paused, glanced around and whispered to Qi Zishi: "However, he is a practitioner. If I read it correctly, he should be in the Wudang Zhenwu lineage. He is practicing upright.

The strength of the hanging toad from Erba Jing!"

Qi Zishi couldn't help but be stunned. This news had a big impact on him. He didn't expect that the assassination king had such a background. However, he did not doubt Zhan Mao's words. Originally, Zhan Mao's family was not an ordinary family.

His family has an unclear relationship with Hongmen, and what he practices at home is also from the inner family. Therefore, what he said should be credible.

"None of this has anything to do with us, as long as we protect Nanyang." Qi Zishi paused, calmed himself down and said to Zhan Mao: "After returning to Nanyang, build a reserve base first. At the critical moment, at least

Don't let us Chinese suffer."

"Don't worry, those white-skinned pigs have taught us a lot of lessons." Zhan Mao sneered: "The older generation has already found a place for these things, and the things are ready. We just need to expand the resettlement.

good."
