The difficulty of the Battle of Southampton has exceeded Romeo's imagination, and the enemy's determination to resist has also exceeded his imagination!

The soldiers of the First Division of the Royal Army were beyond reproach. They performed all the responsibilities a soldier could do. The courage they showed on the battlefield was no less than their enemies. Even if the attack did not achieve the expected results, they could still leave with their heads raised.

However, all British officers and soldiers, including Romeo, understood a truth: when the war reaches the decisive stage, never underestimate the enemy's determination and will to resist. Only when the last gunfire is settled can it mean that the war has really ended.

For Don Tanner, the commander of the Allied forces in Southampton, he felt that he had done quite well after the decisive battle broke out. The enemy's attack was fierce, and the enemy's firepower was strong, but they all persevered. And on the front battlefield, they also gave the enemy significant damage.

If the battle continues like this, then the war initiative that has been lost will gradually be reversed. Although it is only a few, it is enough to make Dontanner proud.

In the afternoon, the 1st Division of the Royal Army continued to launch several attacks, but the US troops, who gradually showed confidence, gradually defeated the enemy one after another like in the morning. Even on the American positions, you can hear cheers.

Once the morale of a unit is blown out, their performance on the battlefield can be described as "outstanding". Now it is the most suitable for the US military.

Compared to those cheering Americans, the Queen's soldiers seemed a little discouraged. Since landing in the battle, they have maintained a vigorous fighting spirit and an unstoppable offensive, but now they have suffered setbacks in Southampton, which they had never expected.

General Jonner called Romeo's command. Surprisingly, General Jonner did not blame Romeo at all. General Jonner on the phone was very calm. He told Romeo that no war could be smooth sailing forever, and setbacks would only accelerate the growth of an army.

Romeo was very grateful to General Jonnar for his comfort. He proposed the plan to use airborne troops to seize Southampton, but was opposed by General Jonnar. The general told Romeo on the phone: "Please wait patiently. The magical Baron Alexander is in Southampton, and he will make an action that shocks each of us."

Romeo took a deep breath, so that he had nothing to worry about. The magical Baron could always do magical things.

Of course, this was something Dontanner could not imagine. He could not imagine that the magical Baron, who had been active on the battlefield since World War I, was actually in Southampton, just under his nose. What he could not imagine was that a conspiracy was going on quietly.

Frank also did not expect that he expressed his congratulations to Dontanner, and believed that under the command of General Dontanner, he could create a "Southampton Miracle" that belonged to him.

Although he acts very modest on the surface, to be honest, Don Tanner is still very happy inside. An excellent commander can always make the most correct judgments in a passive situation and can always create his own miracle when he is at a disadvantage.

And I am such a person.

"General, your phone number, General Bucks comes."

Dontanner took the phone and Bucks on the other end seemed a little panicked: "General, we were attacked. Yes, the guerrillas attacked. Hell, they have a lot of people, I need reinforcements, reinforcements!"

"General Bucks, please stay calm." Dontanner was also surprised, but he had to force himself to remain calm: "Guerrillas? English Free Army? We have already given them a blow before, where did these damn guys emerge?"

"I don't know, general!" Bucks' tone was still in panic: "I have lost more than a dozen soldiers, and the guerrillas have also used rockets. Have you heard the gunshots and explosions?"

Indeed, there was a very fierce fighting sound from the other end of the microphone, but before Don Tanner could make a decision, a violent explosion came from outside. Then several explosions sounded, accompanied by very fierce gunfire.

Dontanner had no idea what was going on. After a while, his adjutant hurried in: "General, a truck full of explosives outside the barracks attempted to break through our guards, but was shot and killed by the guards. The truck exploded, and several of our guards could not survive."

Dontanner's face soon became gloomy, and the report that came immediately made him even more upset. A large number of armed personnel appeared in Southampton, possessing excellent weapons and had begun to attack the Southampton Police Department and some important departments of the TV station.

Guerrillas, those damn guerrillas!

It was not until this time that Dontanner remembered that Bucks was still waiting for his reply. He put the microphone back on his lips: "General Bucks, I was also attacked here. The situation is a bit unoptimistic. I order you to stay in your military camp immediately and find a suitable opportunity to take the initiative. You must not let the guerrilla conspiracy succeed."

He hung up the phone without letting Bucks make a difference.

In fact, he was not very worried about the battle situation in Bucks. After all, the enemy was just some guerrillas, while Bucks was commanding a regular army of a whole division. Will he be defeated by the guerrillas? What he was worried about was that the situation in Southampton could not have any accidents at such a critical moment.

"General, the guerrillas have occupied the TV station, and now Anno, the leader of the English Free Army, is speaking there."

The adjutant turned on the TV, and Dontanner's old rival Anno appeared on the TV, and he was using the advantageous weapon of TV to incite the British in Southampton:

"The glorious day that we have been looking forward to has finally arrived... Her Majesty's army is launching a fierce attack in Southampton, and the flag that truly belongs to England will soon be flying over this ancient city. We do not need to wait any longer. What we need to do is to take up the weapons in our hands and drive all enemies that do not belong to this city and not this country from Southampton... Nothing is more precious than freedom, nothing is more exciting than England's truly belong to the people of England... Just a few hours ago, I received the enthronement of Her Majesty, and Her Majesty ordered me to take charge of all the civilian armed forces in Southampton and engage in the most heroic battle with the invaders here... I ask you as the commander of the 'English Free Army'. The time for the battle has come!"

"These damn guerrillas." Dontanner snorted coldly with disdain: "Do they really think that if they occupy a TV station, they can win?"

Rebellion like this must be completely suppressed, and there is no room for bargaining. Originally, Bucks, who was responsible for the defense of the Southampton security, was the most suitable candidate, but now even his barracks are under attack.

Dontanner frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Frank: "General Frank, are you willing to take on the responsibility of suppressing the guerrillas?"

"Of course I do. General Dontanner." Frank did not take such a problem too seriously. In his opinion, although the guerrillas were rampant, it did not take much effort to calm them down: "I will command my troops to drive those guerrillas to where they should stay."

Don Tanner smiled with satisfaction, but the uneasiness that had been there before seemed to emerge in his heart again.

The "English Free Army" offensive in Southampton seemed very fierce. After occupying the TV station and some government departments, they launched an attack on the Southampton Police Department at the same time. What made Anno even happier was that a large number of Southampton British people took the initiative to join his subordinates. In just one hour, the Free Army expanded to 1,500 people.

Although he still couldn't fight with the regular army head-on with such strength, it was enough to make Don Tanner and his officers very troubled.

But the weapons and equipment that had just been solved have problems. The weapons and ammunition provided by Bucks can only arm the maximum of 1,000 people. What should we do if the additional 500 people are? Moreover, as the war progresses, more British people will join their troops in the name of "In Her Majesty the Queen".

The police station seems to be a good place to solve the problem.

Here, a lot of weapons and ammunition were stored based on intelligence, and the defense force was not strong, with only more than one hundred policemen. In Annuo's opinion, it would not take too much effort to solve these more than one hundred policemen.

However, Annuo soon discovered that he was wrong. The combat effectiveness of the guerrillas was not only very different from that of the regular army, but also the gap between them and the paramilitary armed police was the same.

Several machine guns arranged at the door of the police station were suppressed, and the suppressed Free Army could not advance at all. Especially the fierce strafing was a psychological shock to ordinary people who had just joined the Free Army. They hurried to the places where they could hide and did not dare to move. Everyone's eyes fell on Commander Annuo who had just arrived here.

At this time, Annuo knew that he had to make a decision now. He had just obtained information. The enemy's regular troops were beginning to assemble and would soon launch an attack on the "Free Army". If the police station could not seize it in a short period of time, the situation facing the "Free Army" would have a turning point.

Anno is a very bold and extremely adventurous person. He called his assistant Pietro: "Petro, if I have any accidents, you will take over as the commander-in-chief of the 'Free Army'."

"What, me?" Pietro was a little puzzled: "Sir, what do you want to do?"

"I want to negotiate with the other party's commander." Anno stopped Pietro who was shocked and wanted to stop him: "We can no longer be here for too long. Soon the enemy's regular army will attack us, and negotiating with the opposite commander is our only choice."

Pietro didn't know what he should say.

He knew very well that once the commander made a decision, it would be difficult for anyone to change him.

Deputy Director Vitak almost thought he had heard it wrong. Anno, the commander of the "English Free Army", was going to negotiate with him? He was crazy, this man was really crazy. However, when he saw Anno walking into the police station alone with a white flag, he realized that he was not dreaming.

"Add him!" Without any hesitation, Vitak issued such an order.

Since the Fenton government came to power, Anno has been a very important member of the government's wanted list, but he has never been able to catch this person, and now he has sent it to the door by himself.

"Deputy Director Vitak, I hope you can arrest me after listening to what I want to say." Annuo put down the white flag in his hand and said calmly.
