Chapter 920 Tiger Style
Generally speaking, the German army will not be in a state of chaos if it loses its commander.
But this is limited to the well-trained German army, and the German army stationed at the "Golden Beach" was the German 709 coastal defense division... As mentioned before, the coastal defense division was an absolute third-rate unit in the German army, or a mob.
This is even more so with this 709 coastal defense division, because there is even a unit in this unit that Germany attacked the Soviet Union and occupied Georgia, and this regiment is called the Georgian regiment.
One of the battalions of this regiment is stationed in "Jintan".
You should know that Georgia was still part of the Soviet Union at this time. The Georgians, that is, the Soviets, could they be willing to work for the Germans? So this battalion suddenly attacked the German army during the war.
It's just that because the "Georgian regiment" was wearing German uniforms, the Zoafu regiment was still attacking them.
So the "Golden Beach" was truly in chaos: the Zoafu Army fought against the Germans, the Georgians fought against the Germans and the Zoafu Army. The Germans fought against everyone if they couldn't figure out the situation, and sometimes they mistakenly regarded their own people as Georgians.
As a result, the scene was out of control for a while, and even if you find that there is danger behind it, you can only draw a defensive line.
But this was obviously useless. The Expeditionary Force only threw a row of grenades and charged and broke through the "Golden Beach". It was just because the sky was hazy and difficult to identify, so some "friendly casualties" occurred in front of the Zoafu regiment... This was also because the soldiers rushed too fast and too fiercely. The first regiment was blocked by some German troops when attacking the "Utah Beach". They made steady progress and did not cause "friendly casualties".
Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Chi received a report from a fellow villager: "General, he has taken over 'Utah Beach' and 'Golden Beach'!"
"Very good!" Zhang Chi replied: "Attack Omaha Beach immediately!"
"yes!"
Zhang Chi looked at the watch and said that there was still half an hour before the attack time agreed with Eisenhower... In other words, the Expeditionary Force only had half an hour to capture the Omaha Beach, otherwise the US military would not cover the firepower of "Omaha" regardless of the enemy.
Judging from the current situation, winning the "Omaha" Beach in half an hour seems not a problem, but who can explain the war?
Until the last moment, Zhang Chi didn't dare to be careless.
Sure enough, the expeditionary army's attack was soon blocked by the German army...
The shouts of fellow villagers came from the other end of the walkie-talkie: "General, the enemy's firepower is very strong. They have built bunkers on both wings. We have not been able to blow it up several times!"
"Are there a bunker built?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard this.
You should know that this is a "floodpan". The Germans should not have thought that there would be enemies to airborne here. This is also confirmed by the fact that the Expeditionary Force did not suffer large-scale fire damage when it was airborne.
But now, why do bunkers still appear on the flanks? If there are bunkers, why don’t they open fire when the Expeditionary Force airborne? That was the best opportunity to kill the Expeditionary Force soldiers, not?!
With doubts, Zhang Chi ran towards the target position with a gun, and Zhang Qingyu and other guards also hurriedly followed.
"General!" Seeing Zhang Chi coming up, the fellow villager raised his head in the direction of the target and said, "We launched two charges and sacrificed dozens of brothers. None of them could get close to it, and they could not find its dead end of fire! The bazooka could not blow up..."
"Yeah!" Zhang Chi replied.
In fact, it is not necessary for fellow villagers to say that he has heard the dense gunshots and cannons coming from above.
After changing positions, Zhang Chi slowly poked his head out, and then slowly raised the gun... This is the standard step for snipers, first probe and then shoot out the gun.
If you first shoot out the gun and then probe, a problem will arise. As soon as the gun is released... the enemy may have discovered your position and aimed at this part and just wait for you to stretch your head.
If you stick your head out first, you don’t have this problem. Of course, you have to be prepared to shrink your head as soon as you find danger.
The light was very dark, and it was drizzling, so Zhang Chi couldn't see clearly what was seven hundred meters away across the street... It was a vague area, and only a green leaf was vaguely seen.
Occasionally, a machine gun fire would be emitted from the leaf, and a sound of cannons would be heard from time to time... This is what my fellow villagers call a bunker, which does look very much like a bunker.
Zhang Chi even wanted to shoot along the spark of the machine gun.
But after seeing the mud that was blown up by the shell, Zhang Chi gave up the idea and retracted his head.
"How is it?" asked the fellow countryman.
"That's not a bunker!" Zhang Chi said.
"Not a bunker? That's..."
"It's a tank!" Zhang Chi replied: "Tiger tank!"
The Tiger tank is a direct-fired cannon. The direction of the explosion of the soil is different from that of the curved cannon. Zhang Chi also recognized the sound of the Tiger 88mm tank cannon.
The fellow villager couldn't help but say "Oh": "No wonder we can't find its blind spot. It turns out that it is a tank... a cannon can be turned!"
Then he gasped again: "General, this tiger-style... we don't have anti-tank guns, only rocket launchers, using it to hit tigers is not enough!"
"Is there no other place to go around?" Zhang Chi asked.
The fellow villager shook his head: "The terrain on the beach of the 'Omaha' is very strange. There are cliffs more than 30 meters high on both sides. Unless you climb over the cliff, there are only these two narrow passages!"
Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning when he heard this... Two narrow passages were guarded by two tiger-style vehicles, and the Germans used the "tiger style" as a bunker.
Not to mention, although the most important thing about tanks is maneuvering, in some special circumstances, such as now, it is still a good weapon to use as bunkers to block airborne troops without heavy equipment.
You should know that the Tiger front armor reaches 102mm, and it is also nickel-chromium manganese-molybdenum rolled steel... Even the Bazuka bazooka has a 100mm penetration depth at a close distance, it is difficult to penetrate it.
(Note: The depth of the Bazuka bazooka is slightly lower than that of the Tiger armor. If the Tiger is slightly angled, the bazooka will not be able to penetrate)
What should I do now?
Do you use people to pile up? This doesn't seem to work...
It’s not that Zhang Chi can’t bear it, but that it is necessary to sacrifice a small number of people to preserve the entire army when necessary. The problem is that doing so is just to consume ammunition.
Request for fire support?
Zhang Chi had thought about this, but it was difficult for naval guns to accurately hit these two tiger-types in the storm. In this weather, the fighter jets could not see the target clearly... Unless it was covered and bombed by the entire area, which inevitably caused accidental injuries.
