"The 7th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 10th Tank Regiment is on our right, and there is only this hillside between us." Communicator Stvance pressed the frequency hopping switch and began to try to contact his companions in other fixed channels.

"We're going to be overtaken by them, sir." Lawick shouted in the car's communication channel.

"What's the solution, they're lightly armed." Hank sat crooked in the gunner's seat, holding the opening handle of the armor cover of the firing port on the side of the turret, leaning over the side door and looking out.

"The 38T is running fast? Well, it's a little faster than us. There was some helplessness in Lawick's words, the fourth was a medium tank, which was not known for its speed, and the weight of the Model G with armor and long-barreled guns broke the historical record, and before the new power system was installed, forty yards was already her top speed.

"Keep up this pace, Lawick, and further on, it's uphill again." Lieutenant Snyder tapped the throat intercom to alert the pilot.

"On the map, it's less than five kilometres past that Landschauer Airport, and our goal in the morning is to get to this area." Lieutenant Snyder turned around and continued to discuss the battle plan with the commander of the infantry company, who was holding a large-scale map.

"Snyder, we should occupy these blocks outside the airport first, and then launch a surprise attack from two directions, the intelligence given to me by the regiment shows that there are only more than two hundred air force personnel in this area, some militia, and two companies of army airport guards, they have some light weapons and machine guns, and there is an air defense position on the east side of the airport." The infantry company commander was a young lieutenant, who looked to be no more than thirty years old, dressed in a crumpled field uniform, with a dusty M35 steel helmet on his head, and the only ornament on his body was a ribbon of a second-class iron cross fastened to the placket.

"Let's not think about the other issues yet, Lieutenant Sauer, come and see, after we cross the railway line. There is a community of residents here. It's a road that we have to go through, otherwise we'll have to go around a big circle. It was an uphill road, the ramp was long, and the direction was a very clear arc, and the terrain was perfect for ambushing armored troops like us, and in that environment, my tank didn't even have room to dodge. Snyder pointed to the map and explained.

"My men will get ahead of you and let the infantry clear this community, which is our forte. In critical times, you can provide fire support. Sauer sat cross-legged on the glove box at the back of turret four, frowning and examining the map in his hand.

"In that case, then there should be no problem. My tank will follow you as long as you maintain radio contact. Snyder laughed and elbowed the other man's knee.

Snyder's No. 4 Tank Company had become a star in the German army, and even friendly officers and soldiers were watching when they were resting at the station. Soldiers and officers alike wanted to see this legendary submersible tank unit for themselves. Then, not only ordinary officers and soldiers, but even some senior commanders would come over to ask for warmth, and by the way, they would learn from Snyder about the performance of these magical equipment on the battlefield.

The results of the Type IV G were a hot sight for the commanders of all armored units, and the performance parameters of this tank were the envy of tankers of other units. The High Command has already received a large number of reports from front-line officers. Guderian, in particular, asked the High Command to consider expanding the production of such tanks and eliminating all the No. 1 and No. 2 in the army.

This coincides with Xu Jun's plan, and His Excellency the Führer has actually gone further than Guderian. Also on his list of future elimination is the No. 3 tank, which is currently heavily equipped in the German army, and he crosses out this awkward positioning tank from the main equipment and classifies it as a reconnaissance vehicle.

Snyder's tank company has been determined to be expanded into a tank battalion at the end of the campaign, and Snyder will be promoted. Became the first battalion commander. However, this would have been expected for a long time, if it were not for the fact that Snyder's tank company encountered French heavy tanks during the French campaign. As a result of the heavy casualties, he should have been promoted in the military in the latter stages of the French campaign. In fact, the current two No. 4 diving tank companies were trained by him, and his current position is the acting commander of the brigade, which is essentially equivalent to a battalion-level officer.

By the end of the Battle of Dover, Snyder's company had achieved such success that the Snyder's crew alone had added five wreck markers to the barrels, and no matter what happened in the end, at least one Iron Cross of the First Class would not be able to run.

The outskirts of London are not a flat wilderness, because they are located in the estuary delta, and they are surrounded by mounds seventy or eighty meters above sea level. The city of London was built close to the River Thames because of its abundant water and climate, and humans have been active in the vicinity since ancient times.

From the Victorian period onwards, due to the Industrial Revolution, the booming factories and enterprises urgently needed a large number of labor, so a large number of immigrants and immigrants poured into the Greater London area, and the city's population began to grow explosively, and it is recorded that in just 30 years, the number of inhabitants increased by as much as 15 times, and at its peak London had more than 8 million permanent residents.

Due to the large influx of foreign population, the living environment of urban residents has deteriorated rapidly, and many areas, especially slum areas, have almost become unsuitable for human existence. At the same time, there were a number of health and security problems, which eventually led to a shift of the middle class within the city to the periphery.

The wealthy middle class bought separate homes in these up-and-coming neighbourhoods in the suburbs, and this is now the almost iconic Victorian spire in the wealthy neighbourhoods of London. The wealthy did not have to worry about transportation, and the public carriage system brought the suburbs closer to the city, and over time, such high-end neighborhoods sprung up on the outskirts of the city, eventually developing into the current 50-kilometer city in front of Snyder, one of the most famous human settlements in Europe.

"Ray-Ban or Lipon, how do you pronounce this word in English?" Lawick leaned over the driver's observation port, carefully scerting the roadside signs.

"Don't worry about that, the left, the left. Gold...... What is the gold? Stevance shouted.

"Are you sure? You don't even know the words. Lawick retorted.

"Don't argue, there are only two roads here, you two can flip coins." Hank began to heckle on the side.

"Alright, Carl, you give me a coin."

"I'm sorry, corporal, I didn't bring change." The young loader shook his head vigorously, he wouldn't be fooled again.

"We're here, pull over and let the infantry go first." Snyder gave the order to stop his men's gags.

"Remember Lieutenant, let your men pay attention to the window on the second floor, and pay attention to the flower beds on the side." Standing on the control tower, Snyder leaned over and shouted to the infantry company commander.

"Got it, Lieutenant. You'd better let the two tanks follow us and don't get too close. Sauer's barrel truck stopped next to the tank, and he replied loudly from the co-pilot's seat.

The infantry company commander nodded at Snyder, then opened the door and jumped out of the car.

"A platoon was transferred to two shifts to go out to investigate, did you see the house with the green flag? Set up a machine-gun fire point on it. Sauerzhan was on the sidewalk at the corner of the street, assigning tasks to his three platoon commanders.

"Corporal Rambo, you take a few people up to have a look, this building has a good view, I want to set up a headquarters on the second floor." Sauer said, pointing to a two-story apartment behind him.

"Yes, sir, you guys come with me." The squad leader of the company's guard squad was a 90-kilogram strong man who held an MG34 in one hand and kicked open the door of the apartment.

It's a standard middle-class London house that may have lived here for generations, with a row of family photos hanging on the porch, and all sorts of decorations and furnishings placed in an orderly manner on the decorative shelves facing the living room, and it is clear that the owner of the house is only temporarily vacating and planning to return.

Corporal Rambo glanced into the living room with his machine gun in hand, but seeing no sign of anyone, he beckoned his men and walked towards the stairs on the second floor. Heavy military boots stepped on the thick woolen carpet without making much noise, two soldiers went into the living room and kitchen to search carefully, and the rest followed the squad leader to the second floor to search.

"There's no one here, sir."

"There's no one here, sir."

"There's a lot of good wine here, sir."

"Don't touch anything in this room, I warn you one last time."

Rambo took a closer look and strode downstairs to report to his commander.

"Cleaned up, sir, no one found."

"Got it, Rambo. Gentlemen, remember to move fast when you start the operation, alternate fire points in each squad, we have encountered this kind of terrain more than once, but this is the first time like this, this road is eight hundred meters long, all uphill, hopefully just we are nervous, but it seems that this place is really suitable for setting up a defensive line. Pay attention to search every suspicious house, and if necessary, the tanks will provide us with fire support. Keep in mind that flamethrowers are not allowed, this is a strict order from above, and the Führer does not want to see a burning city of London. With that, Sauer took his submachine gun from the orderly's hand and slung the canvas gun strap over his shoulder.

"Gentlemen, act."

"Yes, sir." The squad commanders saluted the company commander, and then rushed quickly towards their units.

Thank you for your continued support for this book, you have given me the motivation and confidence to continue creating, thank you again. (To be continued.) )
