Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

On the Normandy Peninsula, as the army of the Germanic Empire continues to approach, the atmosphere of the entire Imperial Expeditionary Force has become more dignified.

The soldiers of the expeditionary force were digging trenches, building defensive positions, and reinforcing the defensive positions as much as possible to resist the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army.

It’s just that now they are in the stage of the Great Retreat, and they simply do not have enough materials to strengthen the fortifications, they can’t do it, they can only dig the fortifications of the civil structure.

You can imagine what it will be like next in the face of the fierce attack of the German Imperial Army.

On the beach, the soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force are lining up to leave.

In order of retreat, evacuate the wounded first. Then, it was the turn of the civilian personnel, as well as second-line combat units such as engineers, heavy soldiers and artillery, and so on, and finally it was the turn of the front-line combat units.

After all, in the face of the attack of the German Imperial Army, the Imperial Expeditionary Force had to leave enough troops to defend in order to buy enough time for their great retreat.

Otherwise, once the Germanic Imperial Army broke through their defenses. Then everyone will not be able to leave.

On the sea, three ‘Bellerophon-class’ battleships, three ‘St. Vincent-class’ battleships, and eight ‘Edward VII-class’ battleships of the Royal Navy of the Empire are cruising not far from the coast under the protection of a group of cruisers and destroyers.

A large-caliber naval gun with a door, already aimed in the direction of the coast.

Once the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Sets is attacked by the Germanic Imperial Army, they will fire based on the reports of observers on the ground, providing strong fire support to the ground forces and attacking the Germanic Imperial Army.

In order to support this large-scale retreat of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, the Royal Navy of the Sunrise Empire has also done its best.

“Buzz!”

There was a sound in the sky like wild bees flying.

The soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force who were lining up on the beach changed their faces one by one.

Before the Germanic Army reached Normandy, the air raids of the Germanic Imperial Air Force had already begun.

Swarms of F14 fighters and F12 fighters, covering H14 bombers and H12 bombers, began air strikes against the Imperial Expeditionary Force that never sets.

“Hurry up, the Germanic planes are coming!”

“Air defense troops entered the position, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were set up and ready to fire!”

Previously, because of the large-scale bombing of the German Imperial Air Force, even the port was seriously damaged. As a result, ships could no longer enter the port, greatly delaying the retreat of the troops.

This caused the Empire to quickly mobilize a lot of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns from its home fire to prevent the attack of the German Imperial Air Force.

“Tap-da-da! Knock knock! ”

Soon, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground began to roar, frantically firing into the sky.

A dense rain of bullets shot into the sky, leaving behind clouds of black smoke after the shells exploded.

In the sky, one H14 fighter after another dispersed and began to fire at the anti-aircraft positions on the ground, covering the bombers.

Under the guidance of August, coupled with the exploration in actual combat, the Germanic Imperial Air Force has developed a set of effective tactics to deal with ground anti-aircraft fire.

“Tap-da-da!”

Aerial machine guns opened fire frantically, and dense bullets hit the beach, leaving bullet holes one after another.

“Poof! Poof! ”

Constant bullets from aviation machine guns hit the air defense units of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, shattering their bodies to pieces.

Although in the process, fighters were constantly hit, and even shot down.

However, it did not take long for the anti-aircraft fire on the ground to be suppressed.

The bombers, who stayed at high altitude, immediately began to move, lowering their altitude in droves to bomb merchant ships and transport ships moored on the sea.

For the Germanic Imperial Air Force, bombing the soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force that roamed around on the beach was not of much value. On the contrary, attacking those transport ships and merchant ships and blowing them all up can truly curb the retreat of the Imperial Expeditionary Force that never sets.

“Phew! Shout! Shout! ”

One bomb after another fell from the sky and fell to the surface of the sea, causing a violent explosion.

Transport ships and merchant ships were constantly hit by bombs falling from the sky, igniting raging fires.

The defensive power of these transport ships and merchant ships was inherently incomparable to that of warships. Even if most of the bombs dropped by the Germanic Imperial Air Force were fifty kilograms, they were enough to cause fatal damage to these transport ships and merchant ships.

The operation of the German Imperial Air Force lasted only twenty minutes before it ended. But at the moment, the beach, as well as the sea, is already a mess.

During the air raids of the Germanic Imperial Air Force, at least a dozen merchant ships and transport ships were hit or even sunk.

This is undoubtedly a great blow to the transportation capacity of the Sun Never Sets Empire.

If this continues, as more and more transport ships and merchant ships are lost, they want to withdraw the huge Imperial Expeditionary Force to the mainland, which is simply delusional!

Besides, the Germanic Imperial Army was already approaching the Normandy Peninsula and would soon attack.

If you can’t hurry, move as many soldiers as possible. Then, I am afraid that this time the plan will fail and end.

Once the Sun Never Sets Imperial Expeditionary Force suffered heavy losses, the main force was annihilated by the Germanic Imperial Army and could not return to the mainland.

If the Royal Navy could defeat the Germanic Imperial Navy, then that’s all, the security of the homeland was at least guaranteed.

But what if the Royal Navy is defeated? So, what does the Sun Never Set Empire use against the Germanic Empire Army, and what will it use to defend the homeland!

“Your Excellency, the Germanic air raids are too annoying. Even if we bring in a large number of anti-aircraft weapons from the mainland, we will not be able to stop their air attacks! Not only the soldiers were attacked by them, but also transport ships and merchant ships. This has greatly affected our efficiency! Marshal French, commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force that never sets, complained.

“The Navy is already figuring out a way, they are adding anti-aircraft weapons to the battleships, and in a few days, they will be able to come and reinforce us.” At that time, the Germans will no longer be so arrogant. In any case, we have to withdraw as much as possible. During the day, it suffered air strikes, which affected the speed of our withdrawal. Then speed up the progress at night! The Minister of War, Count Kitchener, looked serious.
