Chapter 587 Saving the Expeditionary Force

"Without air supremacy, our fleet can only be reduced to the prey of the Germans." Lieutenant Colonel Jack Klaustang said: "General, we cannot dispatch warships now!"

Now, the battle situation ahead is very dangerous. It is already noon. The French army on the opposite side has all surrendered to the Germans, leaving only the British Expeditionary Force, and is still fighting bloody battles.

Around the surroundings, hundreds of thousands of German troops were constantly shrinking the encirclement, squeezing the living space of the British Expeditionary Force. Their encirclement continued to shrink, and almost every second, British Army soldiers died.

In this case, the navy cannot wait any longer and must be dispatched immediately!

Ramsey held this view. He attached great importance to the overall situation. He knew that the soldiers of the expeditionary force were Britain's last hope, so he really wanted the navy to dispatch immediately and use naval guns to bombard the German army on the opposite land, opening a gap for the army's breakthrough.

However, other naval officers strongly opposed this.

The Air Force has worked hard, but it is useless at all. The battle over the tragic strait is almost coming to an end. Hundreds of Spitfire fighters on their own side were shot down, while the German fighters on the opposite side suffered less than twenty. This exchange ratio is unbearable for the Royal Air Force.

So much so that General Dowtin was already giving up, and he repeatedly suggested to Churchill that if the Air Force is destroyed over the Strait, then when the Air Force surrounds the English mainland, the Air Force will not be able to assume the role it deserves.

This even made Churchill hesitate.

Everyone was hesitating. Is the Expeditionary Force really hopeless?

"If you want to act, you can only wait until night." Lieutenant Colonel Jack Klaustang continued: "At night, the other party cannot see the sea clearly and cannot accurately aim at us. At the same time, the coastline is too long. As long as we open a gap, soldiers will survive."

Without air supremacy, it is not possible during the day, you can only wait until night!

But how many people will be saved in order to wait until night? And how many people can be rescued in one night?

Everyone was silent, and they knew that no matter what choice they made, it was quite difficult.

For the warriors on the front line, every minute of hesitation is blood and death.

"Dadada." Just behind the Black Panther tank, several German soldiers were firing violently with mp38 in their hands.

They mobilized the tank, of course, they would not just let the tank charge by themselves. There were also some infantry behind the tank, and they could provide the safest guarantee for the tank.

A soldier keenly discovered a British soldier rushing up ahead. Seeing the other party holding a bundle of grenades in his hand, he knew that the other party was going to blow up the tank, so he immediately fired his bullets in a dense manner!

The soldier George was immediately swept down by a shuttle bullets, his body shook a few times and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Harold here was also using his machine gun to shoot at the opposite side, killing the German soldier who was exposed, and almost both sides were hit at the same time.

"George!" Harold shouted loudly. He watched George's body fall down, and was very anxious. He died and could not complete the task!

As if he had heard his call, although George had fallen, he was still crawling forward little by little.

Fire cover! Harold replaced the new magazine and continued to shoot at the opposite side.

"Boom!" At this moment, the opponent's tank gun opened fire violently. Harold lowered his head in time. The 88mm grenade lifted up all the soil around him, and a broken arm was followed by a broken arm.

Harold lost one of his arms! At this time, a severe pain came. He endured the severe pain and continued to use his other arm to stabilize the machine gun and fire!

"Da da da!" Behind, a German soldier showed his head again and the bullet hit George's body. George stopped moving.

The tank's tracks crushed George's body. Harold behind him also felt his body, as if it had been hollowed out. His body began to become cold, and his blood dyed the entire position red. Before he lost consciousness, he looked at the tank opposite and started rumble.

Their positions were lost.

In later generations, Harold was a hero in the Great Retreat and was awarded the only highest medal awarded by Britain in the Dunkirk Retreat to commend heroic conduct.

He commanded his company, withstood the fierce artillery attacks for ten hours, repelled the German charges again and again, and always defended the position. When there was a gap in the flanks of friendly and neighboring forces, he took the initiative to lead 36 soldiers to support and repel at least 500 German troops. Finally, when his troops were exhausted from ammunition, the core stronghold of the position he was defending was destroyed by German artillery fire. Then he led the only eight remaining officers and soldiers to trek 16,000 meters in the water deep into the chin, and returned to the position behind, fighting on the position without rest.

But now, Harold does not have the heroic performance in history, or he has fought bravely, but unfortunately, in front of German tanks, the British army is like a slag.

The British position is constantly shrinking. When they are squeezed together, they do not need to attack. As long as they use rocket launchers, they can be killed in the encirclement.

The British Expeditionary Force is experiencing the most difficult day!

In order to rescue them, London made the best efforts. Churchill, who would never compromise, even released his request for help to the distant Moscow.

Kremlin.

This is the heart of the Red Empire, especially now, after several years of great purge, all the opposition has been washed away, and everyone who stayed has extremely respect for the great leader Stalin, and Stalin has always lived here.

Stalin was in good spirits with two big beards. At this time, he was listening to the words of British Ambassador Gise.

"You are very wise, great leader. You should be able to see that if Germany unified the entire Europe, it would be the biggest threat to the Soviet Union, even if not long ago, you and Germany worked closely together to divide Poland." Gis came to lobby Stalin at Churchill's request.

How can we save the British Expeditionary Force? We must find solutions from all aspects, such as persuading the Soviet Union to go to war with Germany in the east, and then Germany will be attacked by the enemy behind the back and will definitely divide its troops to the east. Only then can the pressure on our side be reduced, and those expeditionary forces be saved!
