Chapter seven hundred and thirty fourth meat grinder-like battle
Dover.
The sky gradually became brighter.
The nearby sea water was stained with blood. If it weren't for the fierce firefighting, there would probably be crowds of sharks. At this time, on the beachfront position on the shore, the battle was still in full swing.
Here, it became a battle like a meat grinder.
There are about hundreds of amphibious tanks across the sea, spreading on the beach several kilometers, and now most of them have been destroyed.
On the other side of them are almost the same number of destroyed tanks.
If the Black Panther 3 came, they would have rushed forward at this time, but now, the weak armor of amphibious tanks is not likely to survive in front of ordinary 2-pound anti-tank guns.
The remaining amphibious tanks did not continue to move forward, and they formed a defensive formation.
In front are those destroyed tanks. These tanks blocked the opponent's view. The tanks behind acted as fixed turrets and continuously fired shells at the opposite side.
At the same time, the French volunteers charged towards the opposite side again and again, hoping to break through the opposite line of defense, but each charge could only leave a batch of corpses.
The British team suffered heavy casualties. In the dark, the German dive bombers were still diving at high speed without fear of death, diving towards the British fire points.
The death rate of machine gunners is terrible. Someone calculated afterwards that even at night, machine gunners would not survive for five minutes!
At the beginning, the machine gunner's body was carried down, but later, there was no time at all. The bodies were stacked layer by layer and stacked next to the machine gun position.
However, the British did not compromise.
Josephine squatted on a machine gun position. In front of him was the Maxim heavy machine gun that had been blown up to pieces. The water cover outside had leaked. Josephine untied his clothes and blocked the hole.
Just over ten minutes ago, the machine gunners here were killed. There were only three infantry platoons where Josephine was located. Josephine was promoted from an ordinary big-headed soldier to the deputy platoon leader, and operated the heavy machine gun that was still alive in the platoon.
He vomited several times, and there was nothing in his stomach. He began to vomit sour water and bitter water, and even bile was spit out. The bloody smell in the surrounding air was disgusting, but he did not give up. When the opponent started attacking, his machine gun had to fire again!
He knew that maybe he would die here in the next moment, but with so many people around him dying, he didn't care at all.
It's dawn.
Squatting behind an abandoned amphibious tank, Jacques Dorio also had a pale face.
Who would have thought that the battle ended like this?
"Ask Calais for reinforcements. We have been waiting at the beach for so long. Why haven't the reinforcements come up yet?" Dorio shouted.
They were the first wave of landing troops. As long as they opened up the beachhead, the troops behind them would continue to land. However, their sneak attack turned into a strong attack. In this case, they urgently needed reinforcements!
The radio soldier's voice was hoarse, but the sound never appeared, and there was a harsh interference sound inside the headphones.
Radio interference is not only available in Germany, but also in the UK electronic technology is quite good!
"First Cialek will not give up on us." Walker, commander of the amphibious tank force, said: "Now, our landing ships behind us cannot be dispatched yet. Have you seen the back?"
later?
They had been sprinting through these hundreds of meters, but now, they could see that thick gun barrels were exposed in the fortifications behind the opponent's position.
Shore defense cannons! And they are all large caliber, more than 100 mm, or even more than 200 mm!
If your landing ship rashly approaches here, these shore defense cannons will open fire! For landing ships, these shore defense cannons are deadly!
This kind of large-caliber shore defense cannon is not so easy to manufacture. Moreover, in recent reconnaissance, there was no discovery of these secretly hidden shore defense cannons. It is conceivable that the British have already prepared here!
"We have to persevere. Just guard this sandy land. Now it's dawn. I guess our air force will dispatch more bombers to blow up all the shore defense guns, and then landing ships can only be dispatched." Walker continued.
Now, they must firmly guard here and wait for the troops to seize air supremacy!
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the bomber above his head. When he raised his head, his face changed.
One after another, Blenheim bombers flew over from the west, flew over their heads, and flew across the strait!
German bombers were dispatched overnight, and their high-intensity attacks temporarily stagnated. Now, the British bombers were dispatched first!
Bombing the German base opposite, breaking the German dream of landing!
This arduous task was handed over to the British bomber force. As the backbone of the bombing force, the Blenheim bomber launched the mission again.
Flying in the front was the 600th Bomber Squadron. The squadron leader Curtis was sitting in the cabin. He knew how difficult his mission was.
Last time, their companions sailed at night, but they turned out to be over Berlin. This time, they were dispatched during the day and faced more dangers.
As soldiers, they had no choice. When they flew over their own defense line, they had already seen the cruel battle on the defense line, and they could even feel the smell of blood.
The bombing mission is very dangerous, what about the battle on the ground? The casualties are even greater!
The strait that dozens of kilometers almost passed by in a flash. Just as I saw the battle on the beach here, the navigation and bombardier in front were already searching for the targets on the ground.
Tanks, a large number of German tank troops, were waiting in the open space in the port of Calais!
"Enter the bombing route and prepare to drop bombs." The bomb dropper shouted loudly: "Discover the German tank troops!"
Curtis sat calmly in the cockpit of the bomber, feeling the bumps of the airflow and the charming black flowers that appeared in the surrounding air.
It was the anti-aircraft artillery shell, and the other party was already firing at his side!
Regardless of him, keep flying and be ready to drop bombs!
"Oh, God!" At this moment, the machine gunner behind shouted loudly. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the bomber flying together on the side. At this time, the wings of the aircraft had broken, and flames were burning at the break. The bomber fell down as if it had turned into a stone.
