Chapter 555: Daxia’s distinguished guest

"Boom, boom boom!"

In Dover Harbor, under the bombardment of countless warships, the German army hastily retreated in the direction of London, retreating twenty miles and out of the attack range of the warships' guns.

The German army had 5.5 million troops attacking Britain at the beginning, but they were blocked by the trench warfare of the "Four Blue Armies", and the huge force could not be deployed. It was impossible for more than 5 million people to rush in at once, and the logistics across the Channel could not afford to feed so many people and fight.

After eight months of fighting, the German army lost 1.3 million people. The number of troops attacking London was maintained at around 1 million, and they used the tactic of constantly transporting troops from the other side of the river to replenish their forces.

The German army retreated, but they did not panic. They left a rearguard unit behind and set up a defensive front ten kilometers away to hold on.

One after another, the federal transport ships passed through the port of Dover and headed for the port of London under the guidance of several frigates. On the ships, the federal soldiers held Thompson submachine guns and were ready to go straight into the city of London from the Thames River to fight with the German troops who had entered London.

The Federation did not participate in the previous naval battle, and in the air battle it took advantage of the missiles launched by the Daxia fighter jets. Christopher, the front-line commander of the Federal Army, was embarrassed.

This time, when the Allied forces besieged the one million German troops around London, he took the initiative to volunteer to have the Federal Army conduct the most brutal street fighting, leaving the simple task of trench confrontation to the Daxia Army.

If they simply wanted to recapture Britain, they would cut off supplies through the Channel, surround the German army without attacking, and let the four-Lan coalition forces hold their positions. When the German army ran out of food and grass, they would naturally surrender.

However, the battlefield is not limited to this one. Waldersee is recruiting all the reserve forces and a large number of vassal troops, and it is expected that another 5 million German troops and 10 million vassal troops will be recruited.

If the war here is slow, the number of German troops on the European continent will increase explosively due to Waldersee's emergency recruitment.

Therefore, the siege tactics proposed by Emery were rejected by Grant. The two million American and Summer Allied Forces and the remaining 2.3 million Lantian Allied Forces jointly attacked the German troops in Britain.

The right thing to do is to force the one million enemy troops isolated overseas to surrender as soon as possible and bring the war to the European continent as soon as possible.

Federal transport ships continued to pass through the Strait of Dover, and the soldiers on board sang "The Star-Splendid Banner" with high morale.

We are proud federal soldiers, we are brave and good at fighting, we want to fight brutal street battles. Let the young soldiers of Daxia stare at the German army in the trenches and hide from the enemy's artillery fire in the fortifications.

Sure enough, the soldiers saw that the Daxia soldiers who got off the boat first were all engineers, equipped with special mine-sweeping and obstacle-clearing cannons and professional engineering work vehicles.

Engineer vehicles are classified into different categories, such as disinfection vehicles, trenching machines, felling machines, digging vehicles, high-voltage current launch vehicles, remote-controlled blasting vehicles, remote-controlled engineer vehicles, pole setting vehicles, mobile bridge vehicles, chain hammer mine-clearing vehicles, power generation vehicles, rocket mine-clearing vehicles, engineer vehicles, universal engineer vehicles... There are dozens of specifications.

It can do almost anything, including disinfecting and poisoning, removing barbed wire, clearing mines and laying mines, building bridges, extinguishing fires with flames, destroying fortifications, disrupting enemy wired and wireless communications, removing roadblocks, etc.

Is this thing really that detailed? Are they all mechanized? What the hell is remote control?

We came up with just a gas mask each and an engineering shovel on our backs, and at most some bridge-building equipment.

The pampered soldiers of Daxia even have special bulldozers to dig trenches? Are such soldiers capable of fighting and daring to fight to the death?

Not to mention, as soon as the tracked vehicle with a large shovel and rollers in front passed over, all the mines buried by the German army when they withdrew were cleared. The efficiency was extremely high.

Then huge tracked bulldozers began to dig trenches, and a division of infantry arrived in armored personnel carriers, carrying assault rifles and using engineer shovels to fine-tune the trenches, quickly setting up a defensive line.

It seems that the Daxia people are ready to fight the enemy in trench to trench. This battle depends on whether we can make a breakthrough first in brave street fighting.

The soldiers on the federal transport ship that was slowly passing by didn't see it, but the next people to get off the ship were a division of Russians.

Leading the way was Lieutenant General Ivan from Cyprus.

As soon as Ivan got ashore, he immediately put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly, "I have finally upgraded my weapons and my subordinates are no longer third-rate troops."

Trucks drove directly ashore from the transport ships, with rocket launchers placed diagonally on the trucks, and on the transport vehicles behind them were densely packed with rocket launchers.

Ivan was promoted to the commander of the Bactrian Tactical Rocket Force. This time when he went ashore, he only brought a Katyusha rocket artillery division.

A division has five regiments, each regiment has twenty-four Katyusha tanks and a total of one hundred and twenty 16-round rocket launchers.

This time when the Bactrian army went to Europe, Ivan was in the first group to go. He brought seven such divisions.

The tank went ashore, and the Hummingbird helicopter that had been sent out for reconnaissance had already sent back the reconnaissance report. The reconnaissance staff came to see Ivan with the report, his legs shaking as he walked.

This is not because he is scared because he has never fought a war, but because he is excited by the intelligence.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, there are 10 German soldiers gathered between kilometers ahead and the trenches of the Silan Allied Forces. The enemy is very crowded and dense. There is no need to aim. They are simply our natural targets."

Ivan shouted, "Three kilometers forward."

That is why the Katyusha Division was sent ashore instead of the heavy artillery. Vehicle-mounted rocket launchers can be pulled by vehicles and can move freely. Their mobility is completely unmatched by traditional heavy artillery.

Two kilometers passed in a flash, and Ivan, full of enthusiasm, gave the order, "Prepare for launch."

The soldiers lowered two jacks, and the rocket launcher was fixed. The strong Russian soldiers shouted slogans, hung up the 100-jin rocket, and immediately went into standby mode.

"Start from seven kilometers ahead, extend the coverage fire, five bursts!"

Following Ivan's order, the most spectacular attack in history took place.

The Katyusha rocket launcher has eight tracks made of simple steel, with a 132mm rocket hung on each track, full of the violent aesthetics of the Russians.

A Katyusha rocket division fired a salvo, and 1920 rockets flew into the sky. Seven kilometers away, flames and thick smoke immediately rose, and an area several hundred meters wide was cleared.

The shooter on this side raised the scale and the bomb was hung on the other side. Just seven seconds later, the second launch began.

In more than half a minute, 9600 rockets were launched.

The transport vehicles carrying rockets were still coming from afar, forming a long queue. Hummingbird had already gone to scout the results of the battle.

Two minutes later, the report came back: "One enemy division is gone."

"Advance 1.5 kilometers and continue to cover and fire five bursts."

Ten minutes later, Hummingbird reported back, "Another enemy division is gone."

"keep going……"

Fifteen minutes later, Hummingbird: You know what I'm going to say.

"keep going--"

"Report, Commander-in-Chief Grant ordered to stop advancing, the German army surrendered to our army."...

At the German front-line command, Chief of General Staff Falkenhayn sat in silence.

The German fleet and air force failed too quickly, and he was blocked here before he could return to his homeland to report on his work.

The original plan was to fight to the death to consume the enemy forces and buy time for the homeland.

But the news from his men shocked him: within 15 minutes, the German army lost 48,000 lives. Even tanks, transport vehicles, tents, and ammunition were all reduced to slag under the enemy's covering fire.

The artillery positions here were destroyed by the enemy's dive bombers, and the planes were also gone. The 500,000 German troops gathered here were just waiting to be beaten.

The Hummingbird reconnaissance aircraft reported that the enemy was using the Katyusha rocket launcher that Germany had refused to use.

Moreover, enemy troops were also beginning to land on the north bank of the Thames, with large numbers of rocket launchers being brought ashore. The 500,000 troops on the north bank were about to face the same fate.

In the beginning, he himself had laughed at this kind of weapon that could not be aimed, but he did not expect that this weapon was not something that required aiming, and moreover, it was not equipped for use at the regiment level. The lowest unit deployed by the Daxia people was a rocket artillery division.

This kind of large-scale and simple and crude firepower delivery was beyond the Germans' imagination.

There was a good weapon in front of me, but I didn't use it. Now I regret it. If I could do it again...

"Ring ring ring!"

In the City Palace in Berlin, Waldersee heard Falkenhayn's zombie-like voice on the other end of the phone.

"Sir, I am incompetent and cannot continue to serve the Empire. The coalition forces will soon counterattack France. Please do not gather the blocking troops together. Their rocket army cluster is unstoppable - bang!"

Falkenhayn committed suicide by shooting himself.

When the federal soldiers who were preparing for street fighting landed on the Thames River on transport ships, they saw white flags flying everywhere.

Commander-in-Chief Grant gave them a new task: to accept surrender.

…………

In the port of London, a transport ship loaded with treasures was seized by federal soldiers. A company of young Iron Cross Guards, led by Captain Bella, walked slowly with their hands raised.

Behind him, a soldier who was very angry because he didn't get any credit for the battle was holding a Thompson submachine gun. Seeing that Bella was walking slowly, he kicked Captain Bella in the knee.

Bella fell down suddenly and sighed.

I am a die-hard supporter of Waldersee, and it is almost certain that I will be put on trial and shot. Fortunately, my wife and children are safe...

Buzz, buzz, buzz. Bella, who had fallen to the ground, looked up. In the southern sky, sixty helicopters were densely packed in the distance and instantly reached the top of her head. On the helicopters, the five-color flag of Daxia was painted.

Twenty Havoc armed helicopters were hovering in the air, and twenty Black Hawks lowered their altitude and dropped ladders. A company of fully armed soldiers quickly landed, formed a team, and ran to stop the group of people guarding Bella.

The leading company commander saluted the company commander of the federal soldiers and said, "I obey your orders. The guard company of the Daxia Special Garrison Force is responsible for receiving the prisoners of this company. Please hand them over."

The Imperial Guards of Daxia? Why are they here on the front line? Are the Imperial Guards awesome? The federal company commander waved his hand and his men raised their submachine guns.

The Daxia soldier did not raise his assault rifle. The company commander smiled and took out his walkie-talkie, "Air alert, ensure normal reception."

Twenty armed helicopters immediately surrounded the area in the air, pointing their ferocious machine cannons and machine guns at the federal soldiers below.

In fact, the two rocket hives on the weapon racks were even more terrifying, but the federal soldiers didn't know that.

Bella was confused. Hey, it seems that the people below are your allies, the Federation. Are you being so nice to them? Are the two sides going to fight over prisoners?

Another Black Hawk landed slowly, and a Daxia civilian in a well-dressed suit walked down.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I have a handwritten order from General Grant. Please check it."

The federal company commander looked a little better. He took the order, shook his head, waved his hand, and his men retreated behind him.

The civil servant took two quick steps, came to Bella, and helped him up personally, "Mr. Bella, I'm a step late, you were frightened."

"I am Wu Ziyi, the Foreign Minister of Daxia. I am here to take you to Hailing under the personal orders of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor."

"I just arrived in Plymouth on the Lu Zhuang after ten days of rapid travel. I received the news that the battle here was over, and I was worried that you were being treated unfairly, so I urgently dispatched a helicopter to pick you up."

Foreign Minister? The foreign minister of such a big country like Daxia came to pick me up personally?

Wu Ziyi waved his hand, and the guards behind him presented him with a beautifully wrapped gift box.

Wu Ziyi solemnly picked up the gift box, handed it to Bella, and bowed to her.

"Captain, you are the benefactor of 25 Chinese people. Please accept this small gift from our country."

"This is the second state gift I have sent. The first one was given to Mr. Elisson, the French translator."

"You hold this state gift, and you are the most distinguished guest of all Daxia people. You will be protected by Daxia for generations, and all your requests will be granted."

Bella didn't have time to be moved, she pointed at her men and said, "These people——"

"These people are all genuinely good people. Of course, we will go to Hailing together."

The federal captain snorted, "They are all executioners and robbers. Their hands are stained with the blood of Evan's people..."

Wu Ziyi smiled and turned back, "I'm sorry, they are Da Xia's distinguished guests. We in Da Xia never forget the kindness of others."

Twenty Black Hawks slowly descended, and Wu Ziyi personally supported Mr. Bella as he walked toward the helicopter. Behind them, a company of prisoners escaped death and filed onto the helicopter.

A company of the Great Xia Imperial Guards stood at attention and saluted.

Under the gaze of the federal soldiers, sixty helicopters started up and took off.
