Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 150: Red Dragon

The German paratroopers made a fatal mistake. Rain and night paralyzed their vigilance. They believed that they would not be ambushed in such bad weather, and they paid a terrible price for this. ≤≤small≤said,

The early glorious results made them think that the British army has lost their courage, but everything in front of them proves that they are wrong, the enemy still has a strong will to resist, and they will not only resist, but also actively attack.

The first company of the paratroopers battalion was surrounded by enemy forces. Under the attack of two successive companies, this paratrooper company lost all company commanders and half of its soldiers. Remaining soldiers relied on rich battlefield experience and decisively occupied two buildings on the street. Under the leadership of two surviving sergeants, they fought fiercely against the enemy. The problem is that these soldiers only carried the ammunition in their carry-on gear. The rate of ammunition consumption during the fierce confrontation will be terrible, and soon they will be in a dilemma.

The company commander Clausen was very anxious about this, and he had to rescue the soldiers from the siege before they ran out of ammunition. Otherwise, what was waiting for them must be a massacre. The enemy has shown this sign. They consciously made up their guns to the German paratroopers who fell to the ground. They were not prepared to capture the captives. These people wanted to kill the German soldiers.

Clausen was powerless to make changes to the current battle situation. The strength of his hand was already inadequate. During the retreat, he lost most of the vehicles, as well as the ammunition and equipment loaded on those vehicles. Many paratroopers locked their weapons on the fixed gun frame in the car according to the regulations. As a result, many people had no time to unload their rifles when they escaped. Most of the ammunition boxes and weapon cabinets were left on the trucks. Finally, the machine gun squads and mortar squads did not abandon their equipment, and the paratroopers had the power to suppress the enemy's shooting.

Clausen established a temporary line of defense next to the natural ditches, which gave him the opportunity to observe the attackers. The result surprised him very much. The enemy’s strength and firepower far exceeded his estimates. From the rough observations, the opponent was equipped with at least six light and heavy machine guns, especially two two-pound anti-tank guns. The threat with the mortar squad was great.

The paratroopers carried an 80mm mortar. However, only twelve rounds of ammunition were carried. This was the result of the four ammunition players holding on to their duties. The remaining ammunition was stored on two Opel trucks and is now within the effective range of the enemy. For the time being, don't want to get anything back from there.

The heavy rain had a certain impact on both sides of the battle. Especially after the position was changed, the German troops hid in the dark rain curtain, which made the attacker's combat difficulty greatly increased. The German paratroopers in the town are still stubborn, because the buildings they occupy are in good shape. It was difficult for the attacking party to break through the German defense line for a while, and the battle began to develop towards persistence. This was the result that the attacking party did not want to see. The more delay the battle was, the more beneficial it was for the German army. They must have sent a distress message. Human reinforcements are already here.

"Sir, if we can't solve these enemies within half an hour, we must consider retreating from here." Lieutenant Mitchell Schirsky suggested to his commander.

"Retreat? Where did you retreat? From the moment we fired the first shot, we had no retreat." Major Joseph Sorsky rubbed his eyebrows and folded the map on the table into the leather map. In the bag.

"Order Erlian once again. These Germans in the village must be wiped out first." Sauls base station got up and walked to the radio station in the corner of the room. He raised his jaw to the soldier, and the other party immediately understood the adjustment. frequency.

"The red dragon calls the lion's nest. The red dragon calls the lion's nest. I'm Major Solsky. Did the lion's nest hear?

"Listen clearly, please." A London accent came from the radio.

"We have repelled a counterattack by the Germans. The troops are very expensive and we need support."

"The headquarters has learned about the situation there. Now many regions have the vanguard of the German army. The headquarters is looking for ways to mobilize reinforcements. You have been placed in a priority position. Please be sure to stick to ten in the morning, You must hold on to Barram before ten o'clock. Retreating is strictly prohibited before getting the command of the headquarters. Repeat again. Any kind of retreating is strictly prohibited without the permission of the headquarters. The conversation is finished." The other party's words are very strict, but there is always a tone Some savage taste inside, it seems that the other party is also afraid of getting rid of Solsky. Afraid that the other party patted the **** and ran away.

"Understood, we will stick to the last moment, and the call is over." Solsky returned the microphone to the communications soldier. He sat down on the edge of the radio table and took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket. A cigarette came out and entered his mouth.

The glorious Boulder Brigade has survived in name only, the British have long been unable to protect themselves, they did not hesitate to tear off the piece of shame, and the Poles became victims again. It turns out that these so-called allies once again abandoned the Poles, just as they did a year ago.

The British never really believed in the Poles, and what Sorsky saw and heard in Britain during the past six months has convinced him of this view. These British people are just using the Polish blood and patriotic feelings to defraud money and interests from Polish exiles. They even use these propaganda to deceive the **** young Polish people to throw their blood and life for the benefit of Britain and let the Polish people I believe that all their efforts will eventually be paid, and Britain will spare no effort to support Poland’s reinstatement, at least in the publicity of the United Kingdom and his allies.

In fact, the situation of the Polish exiles in Britain is miserable. Whether it is British civil or official, the exclusion of Polish exile refugees can be seen everywhere. Some British people even angered the Polish refugees because of the disadvantage of the war, thinking that it was the Poles who provoked this **** war and dragged the great British Empire into the fighting. Everything is now caused by short-sighted and stupid Poles. Yes, they must be responsible for their stupidity. The British Empire has no obligation to protect these barbaric Poles. They should be deported and sent to the Balkans or other places to let themselves die.

Polish refugees in the United Kingdom can only live in concentrated areas delineated by the British government, and their treatment is not much different from that of their compatriots who are far away from the homeland. The reasons given by the British are magnificent. In order to ensure the safety of these people, avoid customs and language. Differences and unnecessary conflicts between British locals.

Officials unabashedly made anti-Polish remarks on social occasions, spilling all the dirty water that could be spilled on the surrendering Polish government. They claimed that it was because of the arrogance of the Poles that angered the Germans and gave Hitler a reason to start this war. Even if the war cannot be avoided in the end, if Poland agreed to Hitler’s request, the Danzig Corridor would be ceded. Then the situation will definitely be very different from now. Hitler may continue to prepare for war in a year or two, but Britain and France also have sufficient time to respond. If some diplomatic and political means are added, the British are very good at dealing with these issues, and perhaps this war cannot be fought.

British officials were vociferous there. Crazy fired behind the guns in order to shirk their responsibility and cover up the stupidity and incompetence of their government. There is nothing wrong with the British Empire. What is wrong is... yes, what is wrong is the **** Poles.

Solsky’s infantry battalion is already the last blood of the Podhol Brigade, and it is the only remaining Polish army in the British mainland. After participating in the Norwegian campaign, the brigade withdrew to Scotland for reorganization and training along with the British and Norwegian Expeditionary Forces. Unlike in history, the next battle of Dunkirk ended with the annihilation of the British and French coalition forces, and the doom of the Boulder Brigade began.

The British had lost 90% of their troops at that time, and the country was empty. Rumors of the German landing landed on the dust, and the coastal cities were frightened overnight. According to the principle, they should immediately consider reorganizing the army, increasing the strength of the existing domestic troops, transferring the well-formed troops to the south, and preventing the Germans from attempting to land. But the brain circuit of British politicians is somewhat different from ordinary people. The first thing they thought was that the Boulder Brigade must be disarmed immediately.

They think that at the weakest moment in Britain, there was a well-trained army of all foreigners on the homeland, which was a very dangerous hidden danger for the empire, especially these foreigners were the most untrustworthy Polish people. . It must be restrained immediately to eliminate all possible threats.

The British took all the light and heavy weapons of the Boulder Brigade on the grounds of replacing the new equipment. Only the officers still kept their respective guns. As a result, the Polish waited for almost two months, but said that the new equipment had not arrived. The British responded to them that, in order to provide priority equipment to the British army, the Boulder Brigade must wait patiently.

The officers were outraged by the British. They demanded that the old equipment recovered from them be replaced, but the answer was that those things had been mistakenly dismantled as scrapped weapons and returned to the furnace. The Army has made mistakes in the work process, and the specific person in charge has been dealt with accordingly.

In the end, the Polish really only got a batch of British army-style wool uniforms, and they also sewed their own logos and military emblems. At this time, even the blind can see that the British are not well-intentioned. At first, they thought that Polish politicians were shameless enough. Compared to the British, the bureaucracy in Warsaw was really not enough to look at.

For the first time, deserters appeared in the glorious Boulder Brigade. Some soldiers could no longer stand to do nothing in the barracks. They watched the motherland and the people still suffer under the iron of the Germans. They don't want to stay in Britain anymore, they want to go to places where they can fight the Germans, and fight with the people who are willing to fight the Germans.

Although the officers understood the sentiments of these soldiers, in order to maintain the order and discipline of the army, they had to cooperate with the British military to arrest these soldiers and send them to a military court to deal with desertion. These incidents once again severely damaged the morale of the troops, and also damaged the authority of the officers and the cohesion of the team.

Many soldiers began to violate the orders of the officers, and some people began to slip out of the barracks, hang around in taverns and brothels, fight with British soldiers, sneak attack on the gendarmerie and police, and even participated in robbery and theft. As a result, these acts became the British to exclude the Polish The evidence made the reputation of the entire Podhol Brigade.

The British finally waited for the opportunity, they could have a good reason to start this army, without having to bear the infamy of bullying allies. The Boulder Brigade was split by the British Wartime Inner War Order. This infantry brigade, which originally consisted of four infantry battalions, was completely disbanded, and some of the soldiers were transferred to the British Army to take up their duties. In connection with transportation missions, most soldiers were ordered to retire, and some of them were sent to prison for detention, waiting to be expelled after serving their sentences.

In the end, the brigade only left Solsky’s infantry battalion. As a model for allies, it continued to retain its establishment. After all, this infantry brigade performed bravely in Norway, and there were some folk fans at home and abroad. The British did not revoke They didn’t want to make it difficult to see the designation of the Boulder Brigade. Shameless to shameless, the arch still had to be supported.

When all the dust settled, it was nearly the end of July. The infantry battalion of Solsky finally got the weapon. As expected, they were still their original batches. The British did not even bother to do cover-up work, soldiers. We even found the serial number engraved earlier on the weapon, and even found the signature of our comrades.

But finally the troops were re-armed, Solsky started to reorganize the military discipline, and resumed military training. He was ready to prove to the British that the Poles were overwhelming. No matter what conspiracies and tricks were used, Poland could not be allowed to make Poland. People abandon the idea of ​​reunification, and one day he will make the British regret their current behavior. Polish soldiers will use their lives to restore their lost honor and dignity.

In the early morning of August 23, in this humble English town, Solsky finally waited for his long-awaited opportunity, and he was ready to sacrifice here for the whole camp. He firmly believed that the glory of the Podhol Brigade might end here, but the Polish spirit will live forever and Poland will not die. (To be continued.)
