Chapter 587： Save the Expeditionary Force (1/2)

”Without air supremacy, if our fleet is dispatched, it can only be reduced to the prey of the Germans.” Lieutenant Colonel Jack Klaustown said: ”General, we cannot dispatch warships now!”

Now, the battle ahead was very dangerous. It was noon. The French team on the opposite side had all surrendered to the Germans. Only the British Expeditionary Army remained, still fighting **** battles.

In the surrounding area, hundreds of thousands of German troops were constantly shrinking the encirclement circle, squeezing the living space of the British expeditionary force, their encirclement circle was shrinking continuously, and British army soldiers died almost every second.

In this case, the navy cannot wait any longer and must dispatch immediately!

Ramsey holds this view. He is very concerned about the important situation. He knows that the soldiers of the expeditionary army are the last hope of the United Kingdom. Therefore, he very much wants the navy to dispatch immediately and use naval guns to bombard the opposite land. The German team on board opened a gap for the Army's breakthrough.

However, other naval officers strongly opposed this.

The air force has worked hard, but it is of no use. The fierce battle over the strait is almost coming to an end. The Spitfire on our side has been shot down by hundreds, while the German fighter on the opposite side has lost less than two. Ten planes, such an exchange ratio, is unbearable for the Royal Air Force.

As a result, Admiral Dowding was already retreating. He repeatedly pointed out to Churchill that if the air force is eliminated over the strait, the air force will no longer be able to assume its due role when encircling the English mainland.

This even made Churchill hesitate.

Everyone is hesitating, is there really no hope for the expeditionary army?

”If you want to act, you can only wait until the evening.” Lieutenant Colonel Jack Klaustang continued: ”At night, the other party could not see the sea clearly and could not accurately aim at us. At the same time, the coastline was too long. If we open a gap, there will be soldiers surviving.”

In the absence of air supremacy, during the day is not enough, you can only wait until night!

But how much did the British Expeditionary Force have to sacrifice in order to wait till night? Moreover, how many people can be rescued in one night?

All people are silent, they know that no matter what choice is made, it is quite difficult.

As for the soldiers on the front line, every minute of hesitation is blood and death.

”Da da da.” Just behind the Panther tank, several German soldiers opened fire violently with their MP38 in their hands.

They mobilized this tank. Of course, they would not just let this tank charge on its own. Behind the tank, there were also some infantry. They could also provide the tank with the safest guarantee.

A soldier keenly spotted a British soldier rushing up ahead. He saw that the opponent was holding a bundle of grenades and knew that the opponent was going to blow up the tank, so he immediately fired his own bullets intensively. !

Private George was swept down by a shuttle bullet, shaking his body a few times, and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Harold here was also using his machine gun to shoot at the opposite side, killing the exposed German soldier, and both sides were hit almost at the same time.
