"General, the 13th Army can no longer hold on. The troops at the front have collapsed. The Germans are advancing on us. At the pace of the Germans' advance, it won't be long before they hit us! An officer reported to Admiral Haig.

"Damn, did the 13th Army collapse? What about Admiral George? What the hell is he doing? Admiral Haig yelled.

"General, General George has fled to London!" The officer said.

"Bastard! Order your troops and get ready to retreat! Admiral Haig had no choice but to give such an order. Although, his original intention was also to be able to hold out on to the southern defense line for a while longer. However, when the 13th Army has collapsed and the 12th Army does not seem to be able to hold out for much longer, it will only be a dead end if it continues to hold on. In such a situation, Admiral Haig had no choice but to order a retreat.

If you retreat, you can still save some strength and join the defense of the city of London. If all these troops were to be lost here, it would undoubtedly further weaken London's defenses. That's a waste.

It's a pity that Admiral Haig's plan is good, but it is not so easy to implement.

At this moment, the British army, under the fierce attack of the German army, suffered heavy losses, and its morale fell to the bottom. Under such circumstances, where do they have the courage to continue fighting! After Admiral Haig's order to retreat, a large number of British troops immediately fled, and there were no troops that delayed the enemy and covered the retreat of the main force.

Of course, the Germans would not let go of this opportunity and immediately launched an even more fierce attack.

As a result, the retreat of the British army turned into a complete rout. A large number of British soldiers fled to London in disarray, while the Germans pursued them.

Human legs must not be able to outrun the tracks of tanks, and the German armored forces have brought their speed advantage into full play in such a battle. When the fleeing British army was chased by the Germans, in order to save their lives, those British soldiers immediately raised their hands and chose to surrender.

These British officers and soldiers were already frightened by the Germans on the battlefield. Being able to save a small life has become their greatest wish, where do they still have the courage to continue fighting?

Even, when they were strafed and bombed by the fighters of the German Army Air Corps, many British soldiers surrendered directly on their knees, not daring to flee anymore. They honestly knelt on the side of the road, waiting for the German infantry to come and capture them.

It can be said that in this battle, the fighting spirit of the British army has been completely crushed. Even if these officers and soldiers had not been captured by the Germans and had fled back to London, they would have been of little use. Because they were already frightened, they no longer had the courage to take up arms and continue to fight the Germans.

The German pursuit did not stop until the outskirts of London. Of the three British armies stationed on the southern defensive line, with more than 600,000 people, only more than 100,000 fled back to London. The remaining 500,000 people, except for those who died in battle, surrendered to the Germans. As a result, the temporary prisoner of war camp set up by the German army was overcrowded for a while.

Of course, those who are seriously injured are not treated. It was not because the Germans could not save themselves when they saw death, but because there was a shortage of medicines at the front. Those medicines must be given priority to the rescue of German soldiers, and the British can only wait. As for the British, who were slightly injured, they could have been treated. Of course, the medical conditions are not much better. Whether or not you can survive depends on whether God blesses you or not.

The German attack on the entire southern defense line lasted only five days. This is the same as the British War Secretary Richard? Haldan's demands, the gap is too big. Especially the soldiers who only fled back to 100,000 soldiers who lost their armor in the end made him very angry. But, Richard? Hardan knew that there was no way around it. The Germans were too strong, and the British were too weak.

Feng? After Field Marshal Falkenhein learned that the battle of the southern line of defense had once again been easily won by the Germans, and that he had won a great victory, his old face was full of smiles.

"The British are becoming more and more useless, and they are simply vulnerable! If this continues, we should soon be able to take London and end this damn war. His Majesty has asked us to take Britain by Christmas, but now it seems that we can overdrive! "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

Originally, the empire had always been worried about landing on British soil to fight. The British, accustomed to being the hegemon of the world, would certainly not surrender to the German Empire easily. So, almost everyone thinks it's going to be a tough battle. A fierce battle will break out between the two sides in the UK. If Germany wanted to defeat Britain, it would definitely have fought a protracted war. I don't think the whole of Britain will be scorched. And the losses of the German army will not be small.

But now it seems that the smooth outcome of the battle has completely exceeded everyone's expectations! The British, though strong, were in fact vulnerable. Their huge forces were easily defeated by the German attack. Now, there is not much will to resist.

"Your Excellency, perhaps we can take London by the end of this month. By then, the war for Britain would have almost come to an end! Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

"Will you take London within this month? There are still more than ten days to go, and although the time is a little tighter, it is indeed entirely possible. "Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhein nodded.

"However, when attacking London, it is still necessary to find a way to reduce the casualties of the troops as much as possible. The war is coming to an end, and I hope that more people will survive and not lose their lives at the last minute! "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Lieutenant General Ludendorff also knew this.

"General Ludendorff, the 8th Army will leave tomorrow! Whether we can annihilate the British defenders in London this time is up to you! "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

In order to complete the battle, the Germans had to eliminate the last main forces of the British army in London. The mission of the 8th Army was to cross the Thames and go around north London. The 3rd Army Corps was in the west of London. The main forces that are attacking the city of London will be the 1st and 2nd Army Corps. The 3rd and 8th Legions only played a supporting role. If the plan succeeds, then the British troops assembled in London will be dead.
