Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 54: Top of the cliff
"Check the weapons for the last time. Get ready. There are still fifty meters left. [Burning^文^书库][www].[774][buy].[]@乐@文@小@说|" Walter The sergeant roared loudly.
The soldiers lowered their heads and pulled the bolts, loaded the rifles, and arranged the grenade bags around their waists. The machine gun shooters tightened the leather shoulder straps of the machine gun back frame, and checked the green waist-shaped drums again. The shooter helped open the MG34's tripod. The soldiers could obviously feel the vibration of the bottom of the ship rubbing against the seabed, and then the landing craft paused and stopped.
"Hurry up! Act now, assault! Assault!" The bow door fell quickly, and the infantry standing in front of the door jumped into the knee-deep water without hesitation, holding their rifles and struggling towards Beach charge. The sergeant jumped off the pedal behind the machine gun group, and waded forward with the MP40 submachine gun in the back.
"Keep the formation, keep the formation!" The sergeant roared and rushed to the beach. Suddenly a flash of light flashed past his afterimages. He quickly turned his head and looked around and found a group of people standing vaguely on the top of the shore cliff on the side. people.
"The training should be strengthened, and the defects must be found before the soldiers pay the price of their lives. Gentlemen, you have also seen how vulnerable infantry is when they hit the coast. Just set up a few machine gun forts and add With some mortars, we can create a massacre on this beach!" Xu Jun left the artillery mirror with both eyes, turned back and said to the generals and marshals beside him.
"That’s true, my head of state. Therefore, in our plan, the attack on the enemy’s beachhead positions must be precise and violent. The air force and the navy must have a clear division of labor, and strive to completely destroy the enemy’s resistance at the beachhead. "Manstein handed the telescope to the adjutant next to him, then took a document from the latter and handed it to Xu Jun.
"The latest investigation report and photos, my head of state, the Intelligence Service is working overtime to interpret the photos. According to the information we currently have, the British have gathered a large number of light infantry and militias on the eastern and southern coastlines. A defense-in-depth system was built in a key area. We found anti-tank trenches and roadblocks, as well as some cement bunkers under construction. Now there are small infantry positions and bunkers everywhere around London, and there are many militias patrolling along the coast. Although the combat effectiveness of these militias is not strong, it will affect those parts of our plan regarding airborne. Paratroopers are very fragile before landing and are easily hunted by these armed civilians. So I think the air force must carefully consider this issue." Manstein said with a frown.
"We have wasted one of our most precious opportunities. According to this information, if we attacked Britain immediately after the Battle of Dunkirk, they would have no ability to resist." Guderian One hand in the waist. In the other hand, he held a short stick with a carved silver head, lightly hitting his thigh with the tail, and a delicate telescope hung on his chest.
"The British plan is to evacuate 300,000 British soldiers in a week. We can send our troops to land in a week. It doesn’t take 300,000, as long as 100,000. One hundred thousand soldiers are enough to occupy a landing. District. Then we sent soldiers across the strait with a continuous flow of energy. At that time, the British army would not exceed two divisions, and the navy and air force were also severely hit. There was no way to stop our operations."
"But at the critical moment in the French campaign, we couldn’t mobilize these forces at all. Similarly, we couldn’t mobilize the air force and transport ships to escort. Until now, we have not made enough landing craft. The British can directly in When they landed at the port, we could only storm the beach. At that time, we didn’t even know where the beach could land. Neither the army nor the navy had any experience in landing operations. We did not make any combat plans, how to mobilize logistics, and follow-up troops. How to assemble and where to attack after landing is completely blank. It is very likely that it will be another Garibaldi battle. Moreover, Hitler would not agree with this plan. According to Hitler's plan, he was not prepared to land in Britain. , He thought the British would surrender to him automatically." Keitel tilted his head and looked at Guderian, his cane dazzled slightly.
"If we follow General Guderian’s opinion, we may suffer heavy losses. The intelligence our people have obtained from the British War Department shows that at that time, the British had shipped all the mustard gas in stock to various airports and ports. When we land, they will use airplanes to spread the poisonous gas. Now the poisonous gas is still stored in warehouses. For example, there are several warehouses opposite Calais filled with gas bombs." Weirle wiped the telescope lens in his hand while leisurely. Speaking of.
"We also have chemical weapons. As long as we are prepared, this is not a problem at all. When the battle begins, the Air Force will blow up all poisonous gas warehouses, seize air superiority on the beach, and eliminate all aircraft that dare to approach the landing point." Kesselring Carrying his Air Force version of the high-powered telescope, he looked up, and looked resolute.
"Most of the current preparations have been completed, and the ideas put forward by the head of state have been verified. The Sixth Army in Reichenau has completed adaptability training, and the armored units have also been refurbished and supplemented. We are waiting now. The professional equipment for the landing assault group has been completed, and the newly formulated regulations have been distributed. The air force is basically in place, and the Navy’s maintenance work has made great progress. Raidel said he can do his best to fight at any time." Weierle report To.
Xu Jun flipped through the folder in his hand, and then took out a photo. The photo was taken very clearly. A group of men in British uniforms and soft caps standing by the trenches were waving at the camera with a variety of weapons. Xu Jun recognized the famous Scottish sword and Wild boar spear.
"This is the big trouble that Churchill has prepared for us~IndoMTL.com~ Look, this is the British National Guard. Look at their equipment, morale looks very strong. Weirle, from a perspective The plane flies very low, so the pilot didn’t suffer."
"This is the only one injured in the reconnaissance plane that departed yesterday. The Air Force’s report is impressive. They completed the reconnaissance mission and were fired on the ground while preparing to return. This is the group in the photo. The rabble, one side of the wing was sifted by shot and deer bombs. On the way back, they also encountered a formation of British Spitfire fighters. In the end, they flew back at full speed almost close to the sea. The engine was also malfunctioning. As for the personnel, the pilot was okay, and the backseat gunner shot an arrow in the knee." Weierle's mouth was slightly tilted, obviously holding back a smile.
"An arrow was hit?!! You must be an arrow?" Xu Jun blinked at Weierle with an incredible expression.
"Uh, heavy crossbow hunting, a very powerful thing. The British used it to hunt wild boars and deer. It completely penetrated the fuselage. It should be a matter of pure luck. The Air Force said they could not figure out what happened. I did it." (To be continued. (LX.))
