While the women in Exeter were still gathering in a chaotic manner, in the British camp outside the city, in a manor that had been temporarily used as a combat headquarters, three British generals and several school-level officers were having a fight. After a fierce quarrel, the overall commander appointed by Ironside was a lieutenant general named Slim. As the brigadier general of the 10th Brigade of the 5th Indian Division, his original defense line was in North Africa. After being severely beaten by Rommel in North Africa, he was transferred back to China to be responsible for the training of reserves. Being transferred to the reserves usually means that a person's professional military career has come to an end. However, it happened that Germany used V-type rockets. After launching indiscriminate bombing on the British Isles, the British nation had to withdraw to India. As a result, because he fully demonstrated his command skills during the retreat, he was not only promoted to lieutenant general, but also returned to active duty.
The reason for the quarrel was whether to make fire preparations. Perhaps because of the experience of being transferred and demoted by Ming Ping, Slim was cautious now, so he strongly requested that necessary artillery preparations be made. However, his decision was It was opposed by the vast majority of officers responsible for front-line command.
"Your Excellency, there are a large number of civilians in Exeter, and those so-called thugs, their true identities are widows, the widows of our comrades-in-arms. If you use firepower to prepare, can you ensure a precise strike? That is, can you ensure a precise strike? , can you ensure that there are no kind-hearted civilians who are hijacked among those poor women?" The person who said this was a major general named Aidenson, who was also the commander of the British division that first led his troops to surround Exeter.
"I agree with General Adenson's opinion. Perhaps, with just one charge, those women will give up resistance. As far as I know, the weapons in their hands are just some old-fashioned flintlocks and some revolvers, and ours The soldiers were armed with automatic and semi-automatic weapons."
"Bolton, you forgot that there are American women inside. American women have the same automatic weapons as us. Moreover, they have experienced wars when they were in the United States and have certain experience. I think that in order to ensure that they can win in one fell swoop , Necessary firepower preparation is needed, yes, I admit that this will definitely bring unnecessary casualties, but have you ever thought about it, gentlemen, once we cannot quickly quell the riots in Exeter, then we will give trouble to those who were ready to take action. It sends a wrong signal to people. In that case, more people will take risks. Do you want that to happen? In that case, Great Britain will be finished."
After a fierce argument, Slim finally decided that it was mandatory to prepare for at least a quarter of an hour of artillery fire. "I don't want to hurt innocent people, but as Brigadier George said, we don't have extra time to take action." Let’s resolve this matter in a more gentle way. Gentlemen, you can rest assured that if there are accusations of war crimes in the future, I will bear the full responsibility. After all, I am the commander-in-chief of this operation.”
Slim set the attack time at half past five in the morning. The reason why he chose this time to launch the attack was actually because he had good intentions and did not want too many casualties. At half past five, it was already dawn. , then he can let the women who are stubbornly resisting on the opposite side see the situation clearly. As for the civilians inside, he hopes that just by preparing with artillery fire, he can make them see the situation clearly and give up supporting the rebels.
Around five o'clock, the British attack forces began to enter the preset positions. At the same time, the artillerymen removed the camouflage nets on the artillery. At the same time, order was finally restored in the city of Exeter, after an American woman took over the command. , the British Women's Freedom Team finally looked like they were fighting. The British women were lying behind the fortifications. Although their expressions were tense, their hands holding guns or other weapons were firm. Strictly speaking, they did not know that they were What they will face, let alone what changes their resistance will bring to Britain, the European continent and even the world.
As for the naval aviation force of the aircraft carrier fleet Wu Dao Tian Wang, around 2:30, all the fighter planes participating in this combat mission took off. In order to ensure sufficient time in the air, Yang Polu made a bold decision to let the combat troops arrive at cruising speed. On the battlefield, at the same time, considering that the Royal Air Force's combat power was not very strong, he also ordered that all Golden Eagles must carry two auxiliary fuel tanks and mount a ground attack bomb to ensure the team's ground attack strength.
At 5:23, the sortie fighter group successfully flew to the center line of the English Channel. It was only about 60 kilometers away from Exeter. Gao Gao, the captain of the aircraft carrier fighter group responsible for the navigation and command, After the Song people found the radio guidance signal set by Mrs. Douglas and verified the direction, they decisively issued the order to attack.
The rumble of fighter jet engines suddenly came from the southeast. On the garrison position, the American women were the first to cheer. After them, the British women reacted and cheered too.
Compared with American women, British women were still shrouded in the shadow of Chinese fighter jets some time ago. Therefore, after realizing that the Americans did not lie to them and were really supported by Chinese fighter jets, their morale immediately soared continuously. , the original timidity suddenly disappeared.
Compared to them, the faces of the British soldiers on the attacking side's preset positions were much more ugly.
"SHIT, the Chinese fighter plane must be a Chinese fighter plane. These traitors, they actually colluded with the Chinese to murder their own country." Slim listened to the roar of the fighter plane engine, and his whole body felt bad.
A golden eagle flew almost close to the British army's preset position. Behind its vigorous figure, the British opened fire. Assault rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, and even pistols all joined in the shooting. There were people in the British army. There are veterans who know very well what it means when a Chinese fighter jet suddenly appears above them, so even though they know that shooting is unlikely to be effective, the fear in their hearts and the chance as low as a few thousandths make them resolute. joined the chorus in the air.
"How is it?" asked the Gao Song people on the radio.
"I have found the British artillery position. The location is..."
"Brothers, listen carefully. The location is so-and-so, attack there first. Now, attack."
"attack."
One after another, golden eagles and Chinese sturgeons roared towards the artillery position. Seeing the bombs hanging under the fighter planes through the telescope, Slim turned pale and murmured: "Asshole, how can you collude with China?" People, you will destroy Britain like this."
