If you look at the map, the area of Britain is not large. Once the German tank forces land on the British mainland, it seems that it is just a matter of stepping on the accelerator.
However, this is not the case. Although the land area of Britain is small, Britain is different from France and the Netherlands. Britain is mountainous.
France, the Netherlands and Belgium are all low-lying countries with flat terrain, which is suitable for the rapid advancement of tank forces. Except for the swampy areas, the rest are almost flat.
But Britain is full of mountains.
The terrain of Britain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The main terrain of Northwest China is plateau; The East and southeast are mainly lowlands.
England occupies the largest part of the south of Great Britain, where the terrain is flat, mostly plains, hills and swamps. Especially in the east coast of England, the land is fertile and suitable for farming.
Scotland is mostly mountainous, lakes and islands. It has three natural areas: Northern Highlands, Central lowlands and southern mountains.
To sum up, the northern part of the island of Great Britain is mountainous, and the southern part is divided into two parts. The eastern part is plain, and the western part is still mountainous.
This is also the reason why the British judge that Germany landed in Dover. After all, Dover is closest to the capital London. At the same time, it is also the easiest to bypass the mountains and gallop in the flat east of England.
In Cornwall Peninsula, the terrain here is still relatively steep（ The geography of East China is not good. Does this peninsula refer to the small corner in southwest England or the large area in southwest England? Here, according to the big one.)
Therefore, heading for London, it can only be the highway along the Cornwall Peninsula, which is the fastest.
Now Germany needs to attack quickly along the road!
The Marines were the first to land. They had enough troops of two divisions, but they did not participate in the land war. Instead, they continued to attack tobe port east of Plymouth.
With Plymouth, it is said that Germany already has solid logistical supplies. However, the significance of tobe port is equally significant. After all, the northwest side of the English channel is still controlled by the British. What if the British launch a counterattack from here?
The first armored division of the armed SS, which came down first, is now charging rapidly. For them, it is their task to advance, advance at all costs, and rush to London before the British line of defense is set up.
Now, they are still fighting a blitz, which makes the British unable to respond!
Joseph Dietrich, a leading general in the German army, had the opportunity to enter the joint command of the three services in Berlin after the last French battle, just like sherner.
However, Dietrich did not like to be a staff officer in the rear. He preferred to fight on the front.
Just in the past combat effectiveness, he rushed to the front and chased Montgomery's troops all the way to Calais. In Calais, Panther 3 tanks lined up a wall and pushed the British army into the sea like a bulldozer.
That scene has always been shining in Dietrich's mind. It was the most enjoyable battle he fought!
Defeating Britain is the mission entrusted to him by history. Before the British react, they rush to London. When the Panther 3 tank starts in front of Downing Street, it will be a more exciting scene!
Rush, don't worry behind you. There are new landing troops behind you. Protect yourself! Don't worry about the two wings. The surrounding terrain determines that it is very difficult to deploy an ambush on the two wings. At the same time, there are no troops here. There are few reserves on the second line, and there is no power to block the advance of German tanks!
In front of him, the first goal is Exeter.
Just look at the map. Exeter is located on the only way from Plymouth to London. This city can only be fought down, not around.
Located in the Middle East of Devon, it is built on the East Bank of the AIX River and at the foot of a steep mountain. The city is also located in the open plain of the estuary at the intersection of the EXX and creedy rivers.
This is the main traffic road and the only way. At the same time, it is also the intersection of railway lines.
The first railway through Exeter is the British Great Western Railway Line Bristol and Exeter railway line. In 1844, the St. Davis railway station in the west of the city was completed. Later, the South Devon railway company extended the railway line westward to Plymouth.
If we don't fight down here, then a small group of British guerrillas who constantly haunt here will be busy enough for the German logistics supply team to hide in the nearby mountains.
Once the British troops come and occupy the city, they will get stuck in the throat, and the leading force of the German army may even fall on the road to London.
Mechanized troops have a great demand for logistics. Once the rear road is cut off, the tanks run out of oil and shells, and no matter how powerful the army is, it will collapse in an instant.
Tanks can't walk around. It has been a mining area since ancient times. The mining history here can even be traced back to the stone age.
For example, there are resources such as tin, lead, zinc, silver, red copper and porcelain clay, which have become an important pillar of the mining economy. In the 1850s, the output of tin and red copper here accounted for almost half of the world's mining volume. It is one of the most important tin producing areas in the world.
After years of excavation and mining, a large number of abandoned old mines have been left here. It is impossible for the tank forces to open up a new road.
Can't get around, can only fight down!
Just as the German army rushed towards Exeter, Exeter also sounded the battle horn.
There are not many garrisons here, only a few hundred people. They are all second-line troops. However, there has just been a military train transporting soldiers. These soldiers happen to be from Plymouth!
Bernard audud, the brigade commander of the 27th brigade transferred from Plymouth, was eager to rush in the direction of Dover. As a result, they waited at the railway station for an hour or two before they arrived at the military train. Later, they lingered until now, not 100 kilometers from the starting point.
At Exeter railway station, their train stopped for another half an hour.
Many people jumped onto the platform. After all, it was too uncomfortable in the tank car. They were smoking on the platform and waiting for the driving signal. This time, many people were worried about going to the battlefield.
Bernard had just thrown away his cigarette fart and stepped on the platform when he saw the bearded webmaster running over in a hurry.
"Big Jim, is our train leaving?" Bernard asked.
"No, please get your troops out of the car and fight immediately. The Germans will come up soon!" The stationmaster said anxiously.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
