The British took the initiative to retreat from the first line of defense!
That kept the German army at a standstill for two or three days. It was not until the rat tanks came that they conquered the defense line in one fell swoop.
After that, they did not continue to attack the second line of defense, but moved to the two wings, which has a lot of knowledge. The operation of the German army is not to conquer the defense line at how fast, but to annihilate the enemy's effective forces as much as possible. If they move to both sides, they can at least kill or capture tens of thousands of British troops.
Destroying their ground forces in front of the British will also put more pressure on British soldiers and make them more prone to collapse.
As a result, the British people contracted. The British troops on the first line of defense retreated and retreated to the back line of defense!
The abnormality of the front line attracted goodrian's attention.
"I'm afraid there's a problem for the British to do so." Goodrian said, "for them, the anti tank trench is their big move against us. Now, they have withdrawn."
This anti tank trench really bothered goodrian's men. Fortunately, a big guy was provided behind.
But did the British shrink their head too fast?
"I feel that there is no problem. If the British do not retreat, they can only be wiped out by us." Staff officer Manstein was very open-minded. In his eyes, the British did this as a prelude to collapse.
"Yes, the defeat of the British is just around the corner. I think we should work harder and try to beat down the second line of defense of the British before dark. Then we can spend the night in London. We're still waiting to go around Buckingham Palace." The skull division's commander Kurt is also optimistic.
When the gap is bigger, his troops can go up.
Defeated the old enemy France, and now is about to defeat Britain. Almost any war to destroy the country is marked by occupying the other party's capital.
Goodrian shook his head: "guys, think about it. Since the opposite side can think of digging anti tank trenches and filling them with water to hinder our progress, do they have no other way?"
At this point, goodrian suddenly frowned. He had thought of something. Then he shook his head. Normally, the British wouldn't be so crazy?
Thames River is the famous "mother" river in Britain.
This famous river originates from cotswoldhills in southwest England, with a total length of 346 kilometers. It crosses the British capital London and more than 10 cities along the river. Each city is famous.
The entire Thames River basin covers an area of 13000 square kilometers. In the lower reaches of London, the river widens to form an estuary with a width of 29 kilometers and flows into the North Sea.
However, as the estuary is close to the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, when the tide rises, the tide roars along the funnel-shaped estuary and goes up far above London.
Many times, especially during the expected severe floods in winter, London is dangerous.
In order to prevent the tide from inundating London, the Thames River tidal barrier project with complex technology and huge cost was built 13 kilometers downstream of London Bridge. The Teddington River dam.
At ordinary times, the average flow of the Thames River is about 53 cubic meters per second, but it can rise to 130 cubic meters per second after rain in winter, and even 590 cubic meters per second during severe floods!
It is even said that one day after a storm in 1894, the average flow of overflow on the dam was as high as 887 cubic meters per second.
It can be said that living in London is similar to Bangladesh. We should also be careful of floods.
During the flood season, the river can hold the incoming tide, contain the tide far below Teddington, and make the river run towards the sea for several days. On the contrary, when the tide is fierce, it can also overflow the barrage and even withstand the river as far as 3.2 kilometers above Teddington.
In later generations, in order to better protect London, Britain built the Thames Watergate in Silvertown and built auxiliary flood barriers along the whole tidal reach.
Now, it's just the Teddington barrage.
Moreover, this dam, which has existed for many years, is either a concrete dam or a dam made of ordinary soil.
At this time, on the dam, a team of British soldiers were nervously watching the river estuary in the distance. According to time, the high tide was about to begin.
At this time, they have dug a big hole in the barrage. The rising tide can easily flow through this hole and directly into the canal on one side.
This canal is connected with the fortifications dug by our side these days.
This is the second time they have done such a thing.
The anti tank trench outside London is full of water. It flows through here.
However, at that time, they only slightly opened a small hole. After the high tide, when the sea water poured in, they watched the tide flow through the small hole, through the canal and into their own fortifications. It was just right.
But this time, they dug a big hole, which is more than 20 times that of the last time!
Because we need more water this time!
They belonged to the Royal 24th engineering regiment. At this time, the head Chloe was constantly looking at the distance. At the same time, he looked at the soldiers around him.
Their mission is very dangerous.
Digging such a hole is dangerous. If the tide is too high, the whole dam may be completely washed away! At that time, the tide will spread all over London!
If the hole was small, it would not work, and he remembered the order given to him by general Hobert.
"We need the tide. We need to build an artificial swamp in front of our position, making it difficult for the Germans to move!"
Only Herbert can think of this way!
Artificial swamp!
Tanks use tracks to move forward. Their mobility is much higher than wheeled combat vehicles, but tanks can't do everything.
When the German army attacked Dunkirk, it encountered swamps. As a result, it moved slowly and almost let the British Army run away.
This also gave Herbert Qidun, next to the Thames River. Can we create an artificial swamp to slow down the progress of German tanks?
But it's definitely a technical job.
Hobert knew the risks, and Churchill also knew the risks. If the opening was small and there was not enough water, just like the next rain, the ground was wet at most, and the tank could continue to drive over.
If the hole is dug big, the whole barrage will collapse as soon as the tide comes, and the whole London will definitely be flooded.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
