Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 113: The longest 1 night (5)

St. Margaret’s Bay, a hundred kilometers away from London, is now brightly lit. This famous seaside town was once just an ordinary small fishing village. Due to its unique geographical environment, it eventually developed into a popular coast Vacation location. (Baidu search is the fastest and most stable update of the literature website)

Because the famous White Cliffs of Dover extended to here, a gap suddenly appeared, and a 1400-foot beach was naturally formed in the middle. At the end of the beach, the high cliffs rose again, and the terrain did not start until Kingston. The recovery is gentle.

There is only this beach on the 20-kilometer coast from Folkestone to Kingston, so this is a unique swimming mecca in Dover area, attracting a large number of people to cool off here every year. Local villagers built a large number of independent huts along the beach, and also built many trestle bridges on the beach that extend into the sea. One is to provide a dock for local fishing boats, and the other is to make it convenient for tourists to fish in the bay.

Lieutenant Erhard Archibald Air Force Pressed the radio headset with one hand, and quickly recorded the conversation on the recording paper with the other hand.

"Let the soldiers continue to reinforce their positions. There are more enemies entering the traps than we expected. Tonight will be a hard fight. The general wants us to pay close attention to the identification of enemy or friend. Tonight, many fighter squadrons will participate in the hunting. All gun position commanders must firmly remember that once they hear the ceasefire signal, they are not allowed to fire even if the enemy plane is parked on his muzzle. I don’t want the tragedy like Lance’s last time to happen again. People can intercede for us. This is the portable radio frequency allocated by our company, which will be handed over to the communicators of each artillery group later." The captain handed the record paper in his hand to the battalion sergeant commander.

"Everyone has already accepted the lesson. After all, it is a stain that cannot be erased in the honor of the artillery battalion. Everyone is holding back now, and wants to use action to wash away the shame. Besides, we are this time. There is also the support of Major von Friedenberg’s troops. I won’t make the mistake of the last time again, sir.” The sergeant took the record sheet and put it in the map bag at his waist.

Archibald took off the headset and returned it to the radio communicator. Then he walked a few steps and stood on an ammunition box on the trestle bridge. The antiaircraft artillery battalion commander turned around, facing the company platoon commanders and artillery commanders gathered around him, and said passionately: " Just now. I spoke with General Bock. General Bock trusts everyone very much. He said that he is looking forward to our performance in this battle.

General Bok solemnly reminded me that the results of the battle tonight will directly affect the command plan for follow-up operations. I am here, and everyone in the camp must bear this in mind. We stand here. On shoulders bear the expectations of the entire landing army. The soldiers are looking at us, the generals are looking at us, the command is looking at us, the head of state is looking at us, and the German people are looking at us.

We must fight to the end. We must not live up to their expectations. Even if we die gloriously in this battle, we must not retreat in the slightest. You are all veterans. Many people have served in the battalion since the formation of the army. I believe in your abilities, as well as your courage and perseverance. We used to fight in Poland together. Fighting together in Belgium, fighting together in France, we won again and again. Now that we are fighting in the UK, I believe that the final victory still belongs to our glorious German* team.

Finally, I hope that all officers and soldiers of our battalion can do their best. Do your best work. You have already got the specific task assignment. If you have any questions, please raise them now. Archibald lowered his head and put on his helmet again. He looked around at the solemn and silent subordinates around him, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Isn't there? Very good. Now the whole battalion has entered the first level of combat readiness. Officers at all levels immediately return to their posts. Gentlemen, everything is for the motherland." The captain stood upright after saying that and raised his hand in salute to his men. .

"For the motherland! Hi, Reinhardt!" The officers and noncommissioned officers stood at attention and saluted solemnly, chanting slogans to salute their head of state.

Captain Archibald’s air defense battalion is currently the only Air Force heavy artillery battalion that has landed in the UK. This specially reinforced air defense battalion has 24 brand new 88 mm anti-aircraft guns. It is costly to land these towed anti-aircraft guns. A lot of strength from the logistics engineers.

At the same time ashore was also an air defense radar battalion assigned to the air defense forces in the landing zone, equipped with four Würzburg air defense fire control radars. This latest type of fire control radar has been shown in the air defense of Calais. Its excellent performance. The two radars cooperate with each other to obtain extremely accurate flight target parameters, with a positive or negative error of less than three meters. For the kill range of a heavy artillery such as an 88mm anti-aircraft gun, this error can be ignored at all.

Each radar can simultaneously command two antiaircraft artillery batteries to conduct coordinated shooting, and also install the latest identification friend or foe antenna. This new device will transmit an interrogation signal to flying targets that enter the radar's exploration range. The radio transponder installed on the German aircraft will automatically respond with an identification signal and mark it on the radar screen, so that the ground can be easily identified If the enemy is our goal, there will be no more tragedies of cannibalism.

This technology was actually first invented and adopted by the British Air Force. It was originally intended to locate certain aircraft and distinguish them from the reflected waves of other aircraft. The result was finally used on all military aircraft. .

Now, under the leadership of that head of state, the Luftwaffe soon acquired this equipment, and it won unanimous praise from the whole army.

In order to protect the Deere Landing Area, the High Command once again conducted intelligence fraud against the British. Relying on the British command post and the seized password, the German army sent false information about the landing point to London. The purpose is to induce the British army to attack the wrong place and delay the exposure of the real landing point.

The goal of the German High Command is very clear, that is, to ensure that the landing zone can spend the first night safely, because after dawn, the Luftwaffe will take over the air supremacy within 100 kilometers of the landing zone. The German fighter force is absolutely The air defense circle will be pushed to the border of the suburbs and counties 10 kilometers from the center of London. Only then can the landing zone be truly safe.

The construction engineers of the German Air Force have completed the laying of the first runway for the forward field airfield. Two 600-meter-long steel runways can take off and land six fighter jets at the same time, and all ammunition and fuel supply equipment have been installed. The maintenance and logistic personnel have also entered the stadium on standby.

The German naval engineering unit has laid four communication cables and two fuel pipelines at the bottom of the strait, and is continuously pumping gasoline and diesel from the pumping station in Belgium to the temporary fuel storage station at the landing site.

The German Army engineers carried hundreds of five-ton rubber oil storage sacs ashore, which are canvas oil sacs coated with rubber. The engineers used excavating machinery to dig out one on the ground. A four-meter-by-two-meter deep pit with the same area of ​​the oil sac. Put the oil sac into the pit and start filling the pit with fuel. After it is filled, fill the pit with soil and bury the oil sac in the ground. This is a safe and reliable The temporary oil storage depot is completed. The entire process only takes half an hour. As long as the organization is properly organized, the filling of dozens of oil tanks can be carried out at the same time.

When fuel needs to be pumped, only the fuel valve needs to be opened. The pressure of the covering soil will automatically push the fuel out of the oil sac. When the fuel is completely emptied, the logistics unit can choose to recycle it or directly landfill it according to the current situation. Of course, you can also choose to re-excavate the overburden and refill the fuel for reuse. However, according to the opinion of the High Command, this oil storage sac is only a temporary emergency equipment, and it is not recommended to be used as a conventional facility.

At the same time, the German army also carried hundreds of prefabricated barrels of 200-liter rubber oil sacs, with axles and trailing arms in the middle, which looked like a small roller roller, covered with two layers of rubber. The wheel rim, engraved with anti-skid patterns, can be hung behind a motor vehicle to tow forward.

This kind of oil storage equipment under the trademark of Faben Chemicals is the same as the previous soft oil bag of the same brand. It can use a portable fuel pump driven by a BMW r75 motorcycle engine for refueling work. This new configuration of gas pump is also the invention of the head of state. The total weight of the complete set of equipment is less than 40 kilograms. It is distributed to the logistics platoon of each mobile company. As long as the corresponding pipelines and valves are used, it can be sent to eight different The unit delivers fuel.

These equipment inventors who originally appeared at the end of World War II were wealthy Americans, but the Führer directly took out their designs ten years later, and even added similar records that he kept in his memories before crossing. This is a field fuel storage suit that will not be outdated during the Vietnam War.

In addition to these, the German head of state also equipped the logistics unit with a set of portable pneumatic tools, which are also powered by a motorcycle engine. The engine drives an air pump to press air into the air tank, and the high-pressure air drives through the duct with a pneumatic motor. Tool work.

The existing basic equipment is some simple repair equipment, such as pneumatic wrench and pneumatic screwdriver. A trained soldier can rely on these tools to complete the work that had to be done by a few people in the past~IndoMTL.com~ Unload all the tires of a truck within minutes, and replace them with new ones in the same time, which in the past took half an hour or even longer.

Logistics repair units are totally fond of this, especially tanks and armored units. Many commanders say whether they can equip each tank with one set, which will greatly speed up their repair work in the field between battles, and even directly Carry out emergency repairs during battle, such as replacing tank skirts and replacing tracks. In the past, I could only stare at a bunch of nuts in a daze, but now I can solve the problem cleanly and neatly with just a few efforts. Especially the replacement of road wheels and suspension system. In the past, I really didn't know when to screw it with that board. Now it can be done by just opening the valve and beeping for a few minutes.

The German army and air force have become numb to the heads of state, and they can only cross their chests to praise God. Anshuang belongs to his own side. (To be continued)
