2067 Gap 1

To be honest, the front of the British defense line is also more than 200 kilometers. Although the British army can detour from the flank and then attack from the back without having to face most of the trenches on the front, it is difficult to completely divide and surround the British army within a few days. It is okay to be surrounded or restricted to the support point, but relying on the complete trench system, the British army can still evacuate a large number of people along the roads in the basement area to the beach.

When the German army launched an attack, the French's position would be fully exposed, because the destruction of the Hamilton Army this time can be said to be the combat effectiveness of the French army underground, but if a frontal line of 20 kilometers was released, no matter how stupid the British were, they would think of the tricks between the French and the Germans! When this step came, the British could only retreat immediately, and the amount they could run was counted as much as they could!

Therefore, Ruprecht's idea is very simple and realistic, that is, as long as the British army's sea retreat can be cut off, the British army left on land will definitely not be able to escape, and bombers and torpedo planes can naturally turn the English Channel during the day into a sea of ​​death. In order to prevent the British army from evacuating troops at night, the Luftwaffe and submarine forces also need to lay out mines and arrange submarines to carry out blockade missions at night. When necessary, destroyers and torpedo boat teams of the high seas fleet will also be put into battle.

The eastern section of the English Channel will become the last key point of the war. If the Germans are lucky and the British are stupider, the main force of the large fleet may also be involved in this battle. If the war can be started here, it will undoubtedly be the best result for the German high seas fleet! Because it is backed by the German Air Force's ground-based air force, thousands of aircraft and the high seas fleet are enough to annihilate the most powerful maritime power on this era and this planet!

Therefore, for the final battle of this war, Ruprecht made the most complete response!

"According to the agreement, the French will provide us with a width of 20 kilometers in the north of St. Continent. At the same time, the French expressed their willingness to cut off all the bridges and ferries on the Somme to separate the British logistics. Our troops in front of the British will launch a restraining attack at the same time to cover the main force entering from St. Continent, and at the same time, our elite troops of the B Army will also solve the British troops on the south side of St. Continent."

"A Army Group will quickly cut off the retreat routes of the five British armies on the northern line after breaking through the position. At the same time, they will reach the coast all the way north. Maybe it will be difficult for us to occupy ports such as Dunkirk, Bren and Calais under the artillery fire of the British Strait Fleet, but we will target heavy artillery at ports in these areas to interfere with the other's evacuation. When we arrive at the seaside, we will try our best to compress the British space with the front troops and cut the British front from the rear when appropriate. At present, our entry point is the junction of the British army." said Xiao Moltke.

"There are also the British logistics warehouses and airports that are priority targets. We accidentally entered the rear of the enemy. Their defense is very empty, so we can organize some quick light armor units to attack key nodes. I not only want to keep the British Expeditionary Force, but also the Royal Army Air Force should also stay as much as possible." Ruprecht did not have much advice on the final plan proposed by Moltke. After all, the French were timid and had opened such a big hole for you. If you still couldn't hold the British army, the German Army would be really finished. The so-called natural result is this. The preparation work and the early strategy is successful. Then when the war really starts, it will be a situation of winning.

While the Germans were preparing for the last land battle step by step, in Dunkirk, in the command of the British Expeditionary Force, Marshal Hege was anxiously waiting for the call from Lord Hamilton on the front line. With the sound from the door of the office, a staff officer sent the latest telegram to Marshal Hege. When he opened the telegram, he felt that his blood was almost frozen!

"Transfer this telegram to the Prime Minister immediately. In addition, I need to be quiet and don't bother me if there is nothing important." Marshal Heg said immediately.

The content of the telegram is very simple. The first point is that the Sixth Army of the British Expeditionary Force commanded by Hamilton is about to be finished and is surrounded and probably cannot escape. The second point is that Hamilton mentioned the abnormal performance of the French and the possible truth behind it - the French surrendered and reached an agreement with the Germans!

"The French surrendered?" Marshal Hege continued to repeat this sentence. He carefully considered the exchanges between the two sides. He was a little suspicious of Lord Hamilton's words, because at least two days ago, the French tried their best to fight against the Germans. If the French betrayed Britain, it should be the past two days. But this kind of thing cannot be concluded easily. After all, the French did not issue a statement, and in the fight between today and yesterday, you can say that the French did not work hard, or protect themselves, which is fine, but by retreating to the French government to compromise with the Germans, which is a bit insufficient evidence.

Hamilton was a soldier. It was OK for him to analyze and draw this conclusion from the perspective of a soldier, but Heg, as the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, could not draw conclusions easily. This was not a military issue but a political issue. The current situation was already dangerous. If he made mistakes again and made Britain, France and Germany separate, the war would be completely lost. So he now forwarded the telegram to the British government to let them negotiate with the French, and he had to make preparations on both sides.

In Marshal Heg, it is understandable that the French admit defeat in this situation from a military perspective. The Germans really didn't work hard. In the first few days, they pushed the French straight and crushed the French defense line like a millstone. Then a fast legion of about 120,000 easily penetrated the French defense line. Not only did they destroy the flanks of the French main force, but they also went deep into the rear to kill the French reserve team. When the war reached this level, France could really make a bid. Even if Heg himself was the French president, he thought it would be better to vote now than the Germans entering Paris and surrendering?

If the French surrender, there is no doubt that the Germans would definitely point the attack at the British army. Although they don’t know where the German army’s offensive power is, Marshal Heg knows one thing, that is, the Germans were far from exerting all their strength in this attack!
