"Oh God! Is the gap between us and the Chinese really that big? Lieutenant General Victor stared blankly at what was happening on the battlefield, and the tanks of the 1st Armored Division of the British Army were hit one after another, caught fire, and then became a pile of scrap metal. And the losses of the tanks of the Chinese, but they can be counted even on one hand! Under the blows of the Chinese armored forces, the 1st Armored Division of the British Army did not fight back at all!
The tank battle came to an end less than half an hour after it began! At the last moment, Lieutenant General Victor gave the order to surrender! At this time, the number of tanks left in the 1st Panzer Division of the British Army was less than ten, and the remaining tanks were destroyed in the battle! The entire 1st Panzer Division of the British Army is almost dead in name! It is no wonder that at the very beginning of the battle, they were attacked by the H5D "Fish Eagle" dive bombers of the Chinese Navy, losing almost half of their combat power. Then they faced the siege of more than 200 tanks of the 8th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army, and in such a situation, they quickly failed, which was inevitable!
Seeing that it had already been lost, in order to retain the last seeds of the British Army's armored forces, Lieutenant General Victor ordered surrender! When the white flag was raised from his tank, the 8th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army stopped the attack. Although the tanks, which had not achieved any results so far, felt a little regretful, they restrained themselves and did not continue to attack. 1
Several Z4 wheeled armored vehicles quickly drove in front of the surrendered British tanks, and the infantry on board got out of the armored vehicles and captured the British tank crews who came out of the tanks! Distance. The T5 'Gepard' medium tanks of the 8th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army have been targeted at these British tanks. If anything's unusual. They will destroy all these tanks in the first place!
The British are quite honest, after the armored vehicles of the Chinese army arrived, they all honestly drilled out of the tanks, but they just looked a little depressed! Lieutenant General Victor looked at the Z4 wheeled armored vehicles of the Chinese armored forces in front of him, and his eyes were full of envy! Although this is just an armored car equipped with a machine gun and very weak armor. But it is undoubtedly able to provide excellent protection for the infantry, when accompanying the tanks in battle. Able to provide good protection for the tank. And these, the British Army armored forces simply did not have!
"Someday, our British Army armoured units will have such armored vehicles, as well as more powerful tanks! We will definitely defeat the Chinese! Lieutenant General Victor said secretly in his heart. Then, obediently surrender to the 8th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army!
A Z4 wheeled armored vehicle drove up to them, and the commander of the 8th Armored Brigade, Major General Dai Yulong, got out of the armored vehicle. The soldiers of the 8th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army nearby saluted him one after another! Major General Dai Yulong nodded, came to the British Army's 'Hunter' 1 tank, looked at it, and then pursed his lips disdainfully. Look at it with his professional eye. The British's 'Hunter' 1 tank is simply weak, and I really admire these British. Driving such a tank and daring to fight a decisive battle with the 8th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army is simply looking for death!
"Lieutenant General, your people are heroic! However, in the face of the absolute difference in strength, bravery does not have much effect! Lieutenant General Dai Yulong said!
"Major General, you are lucky that your weapons are much more advanced than ours! If both of us are equipped with the same weapons, I am sure that we will be the victorious in the end! Lieutenant General Victor stared at Major General Dai Yulong and said with an arrogant face!
"Haha! Aren't weapons also a type of combat power? Our weapons are advanced, which proves that our country is strong, our army is strong! Major General Dai Yulong laughed! At the beginning, when the British relied on the strength of their ships and guns to open the door to China, why didn't they think about it like this? It's just that after seventy years, the Chinese are finally able to take revenge this time!
"Brigade commander, what are you going to do with these tanks?" At this time, a captain officer asked! The British surrendered, and the 'Hunter' tanks were captured by the Chinese. If it's a general weapon, it can be used universally. But these 'hunter' tanks, the armored forces of the Chinese army are really not pleasing to the eye!
"This garbage? What's it like to keep it? Destroy them all! We still have a task to do! Major General Dai Yulong took a look at those ugly 'hunter' tanks and said lightly!
"Yes, Brigadier General!" The captain nodded.
Subsequently, several T4 'Wild Wolves' light tanks fired at the British tanks that had surrendered, destroying them all!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Watching his tanks being destroyed by the Chinese one after another, Lieutenant General Victor's face was pale, his hands were clenched, and he didn't even notice that his nails had pierced his palms! They have already surrendered, but the Chinese treat their tanks as garbage and destroy them all in front of them, which is undoubtedly a great insult to them!
"Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, one day, the British Army Armored Forces will make you pay for what you did today! We're going to stomp you yellow-skinned monkeys under our feet again! Lieutenant General Victor swore secretly in his heart!
The 8th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army did not heed the resentment in the hearts of the British, and after disposing of these British tanks, the armored forces continued to advance southward, preparing to cooperate with the infantry to crush the second line of defense of the British! The commander of the 8th Army, Admiral He Bingju, had ordered that the British should be driven out of Birmingham as far as possible, so that the 8th Army would have enough time to find the wealth of the British crown! Although three secret warehouses have been discovered so far, this is only a small part of the wealth of the British royal family, and there is still more wealth waiting for them to find out!
In the afternoon of the same day, the 8th Army of the Chinese Army, which hit three infantry divisions and an armored brigade, launched a fierce attack on the second line of defense of the British Army under the cover of more than a hundred aircraft of the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Navy!
At that time, more than 30 'Hurricane' 2 fighters of the British Air Force rushed to reinforce them, and the two sides launched a fierce air battle. In the end, the Chinese Air Force paid the price of 11 F5B "Puffin" fighters being shot down, and achieved the result of shooting down 18 enemy "Hurricane" 2 fighters. In addition, the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Chinese Navy has gained air supremacy, which can cover the bombers to bomb the positions of the British Army, cooperate with the army's armored forces to tear apart the British defense line, and then completely defeat them!
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the 8th Army of the Chinese Army had captured the second line of defense of the British Army, destroying more than 30,000 enemies, plus the results achieved in the morning, in this day, the Chinese Army killed and captured almost 60,000 British Army, plus the British Army who fled, the British Army has lost 100,000 people in this day's battle!
To this end, Admiral Hamilton had to order a retreat, all the way to a distance of forty kilometers from Birmingham. You know, General Hamilton led the elite troops of the British Army this time, and even these elite troops were powerless in front of the Chinese, let alone other troops!
In the face of the advancing squadron, Admiral Hamilton can only defend passively. Now he no longer expects to take Birmingham, and if he can withstand the attack of the Chinese, then thank God forbid! As for the wealth of the royal family in Birmingham, he didn't count on it either! If you can't get Birmingham back, you can only watch the Chinese take all that wealth away! Although, he hoped that the Chinese would not find out about those secret warehouses. However, no matter how you look at it, this probability is very low! Now that the military operation could no longer achieve its goal, Admiral Hamilton had to think of other options.
That evening, Admiral Hamilton sent a letter to the War Secretary Winston, who was far away in London. Churchill sent a telegram informing him that his plan to retake Birmingham by military means had been utterly failed! Let the cabinet think again.
While Admiral Hamilton was having a headache, the 8th Army of the Chinese Army was celebrating victory and harvest! In the daytime battle, the Chinese Army's 8th Army won a heavy victory at the cost of less than 2,000 men, not only destroying 50,000 or 60,000 enemies, but also driving the British Army away from Birmingham. In addition, perhaps God is on China's side. Although there are not many Chinese soldiers left searching for the wealth of the British crown, most of them are Britons who are forced to participate in the search. Today, however, several secret warehouses have been found. The vast majority of them were reported by those Britons on their own initiative!
These British, having learned that the British Army had been defeated again, had lost faith in the British. Therefore, take the initiative to report the location they feel abnormal to the squadron in exchange for the squadron's reward! With the active cooperation of these good British citizens, the efficiency of the squadron has been greatly improved.
On the day of July 1, four more secret warehouses were excavated, three of which were warehouses for gold. This allowed the 8th Army to complete most of its tasks. Thousands of tons of gold from the British royal family have already been obtained, and only some secret warehouses for jewelry are left!
On the night of 1 July, after repelling the British, Admiral Ho Bingju sent more people back to Birmingham in search of the British royal family's wealth. After a night of fighting, the wealth of the British royal family has been fully excavated! (To be continued......)
