Operation: Boadicca (Communist World)



Operation Britannia was a joint British-American operation against French-occupation in the United Kingdom. The operation began on May 11 and ended on July 14, 1941.

 The Battle of Britain was the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces,  and was also the largest and most sustained aerial bombing campaign to that date. From July 1940, coastal shipping convoys and shipping centres, such as  Portsmouth, were the main targets; one month later the  Luftwaffe  shifted its attacks to RAF airfields and infrastructure. As the battle progressed the  Luftwaffe  also targeted  aircraft factories  and ground  infrastructure. Eventually the  Luftwaffe  resorted to attacking areas of political significance and using  terror bombing strategy.

History
Operation Britannia was planned by  Field Marshal Montgomery  after the British Army, whom were nearly defeated by the French, desperately needed military supplies and reinforcements from the United States in exchange for a military support in the Pacific. The U.S. agreed to this, and sent American/Canadian forces that were sent to York, England to rendezvous with a British convoy during Operation Endeavour. Meanwhile, the United States, having entered the war, stations its U.S. Seventh Fleet off Ireland and begins bombing raids on the southwest coast of England, as well as supplying men and equipment to a resurgent partisan movement.

After British Southern Command was defended and the French Armée Group 2 was destroyed, the British Army advances toward London. The British radioed the U.S in requesting those 20,000 men which they immediately agreed. With the 20,000 men, along with tanks and air support, the combined American-British lead their final assault on London.

Battle of London
The joint Allied forces entered London almost unscathed, and all was seemingly well until they were under threat by French reinforcements they are armed with missiles, containing chemical agents and the likelihood of infecting the Allied armies. Soon, French tanks and artillery situated near the inner defenses of the London on the side of the Thames River opposite to the advancing Allied forces, and were on the move in destroying the Allied forces.

Several task forces were sent to prevent the French's advances by destroy some of the major bridges on the Thames. One last bridge, Southwark Bridge, was to be destroyed by Task Force Five led by Lieutenant Stephen Cartwright. However, the French closing on the Allied forces launched a chemical attack on them. Fortunately, the bridges were destroyed by US bombers and the French tanks that were crossing the bridge at the time were destroyed.
