Chapter 212: A Powerful Paratrooper Force (3)
How could the backward military doctrine of the British be the opponent of the German army? Although they have the advantage of troops, they also have many effective technical weapons. But under the opponent's flexible tactics, he still lost again and again. Fighting a war is not just about firepower, maneuver, lethality and other hard data. What's more important is to have a flexible tactic. The German paratroopers were clever lads who always found their advantage in every new battlefield and used them effectively. Even if there are no conditions, it is necessary to create conditions as much as possible to achieve the goal, such as the fake plane tactics during the raid on Alexandria, which is the result of their collective efforts! Little Afu has become the cutest person in the hearts of the paratrooper soldiers!
Now the assault paratroopers do not have the possibility of flexible tactical maneuvering in the past, because they need to be in a hurry for this battle! They were to relieve the pressure on the sniper units that had already arrived at the Nile, the Airborne Ranks, the Ranks, and the Fogel Division, to relieve them of the pressure. Although the British defenders in Cairo did not have a lot of strength, it was difficult for them to fend off the strong paratrooper units! But their advantage lies in the terrain of Cairo! The British army has long been beaten out of blood! Not only were they not scared, but they were beaten urgently! They were determined to fight a street battle with the Germans in the capital of a foreign land, the big city of Cairo! Montgomery also changed the steady wind of the past, carrying the "Stern" *** ready to fight the German army!
Urban street fighting is the deadliest form of warfare! In the confined space of the city, the power of airplanes, artillery, and tanks has been discounted! Armored units that are good at field warfare are more vulnerable to attack in complex environments. It is difficult for aircraft to accurately attack enemy troops, and artillery can easily accidentally damage friendly troops!
So the paratroopers chose to fight at night in order to avoid large casualties! They are equipped with holographic sights with thermal imaging capabilities, which are very convenient when small groups of troops hunt British troops with silent *** at night. The British were blind and invisible, so the advantage was firmly grasped by the German paratroopers!
The paratroopers were organized in small groups as individual units, lurking not far from the outskirts of Cairo. //www. They were waiting for Rommel's order to attack in general.
There is a combat group of 15 people, two snipers, two heavy firefighters, two scouts, and nine assaulters to form a perfect squad. The main thing is to use night vision to strike at the enemy and create enough pressure on the enemy to overwhelm their spirit!
Under such tactical guidance, the sentries of the British army became the first to be unlucky! In the *** night vision device, the sentry at a distance of 800 meters is just a small point of light, and the human body in the low-light night vision device is green. Snipers locked onto the defensive positions on the edge of the British city early. The position was still peaceful and quiet, perhaps they knew that it would take time for German tanks to cross more than 100 kilometers of desert to get here. So they didn't expect the danger to be approaching!
At midnight, as the order to attack is given, the first to fire are the snipers who have locked onto their targets early! Although the British did not hear the gunshots, they did not see anything unusual. But they were attacked by the enemy, and the bullets flying at subsonic speed crossed a distance of 800 meters and accurately hit almost all the sentries. The poor hapless sentry was torn apart by a 10 mm bullet before he even had time to give a warning! The special subsonic bullet has a very good silencing effect, and the stopping effect is also very strong when it hits human flesh and blood. All the kinetic energy is unreservedly transmitted to the flesh and blood that was unfortunately hit by it! Immediately, the sentinel's body lost its life!
War is cruel, and the end of a life is accompanied by the beginning of a new life! In this age, human beings still have to pay a lot of blood and lives to understand what the truth is!
Of course, the British outpost discovered this strange scene! They were shocked and did not forget their responsibilities and raised alarms one after another. Woke up his companions who had just fallen asleep.
They quickly turned over, picked up Lao Li's rifle erected next to them, and hurriedly ran into the defensive position. The so-called positions were actually just houses, and the British army had long found a fixed defense on a position, and in the face of the German steel torrent, there was no possibility of victory in the air strikes of the storm. The previous campaigns illustrated this with facts. Since the arrival of new weapons in Africa by the Germans, their combat effectiveness has increased several times at once. It would be extremely unwise to fight them in the field now. So the British followed Montgomery's orders and turned the city into a huge fortress, where they wanted to create a battlefield to hold back the German attack!
The snipers of the British are very powerful, and the gentlemen's kung fu of shooting cold guns is unique in the world! Lao Li's performance is not inferior to 98k, and it is enough to be used as an excellent ***. They positioned themselves as hunters in the small city of Cairo, setting a trap and waiting for the arrival of the German army! The British army has known for a long time that the German army has recently been equipped with a magical and powerful individual heavy weapon. This inconspicuous slender barrel fired shells powerful enough to destroy a tank. They did everything possible to get the sample, and before they could send it to London, they were beaten to the doorstep by the Germans. In this way, it is not possible to develop equipment similar to the performance of this kind of weapon of the German army as soon as possible, and the conditions for imitation cannot be met. Their approach to fighting tanks in an urban environment is more of a **magnetic** tactic, they prepare a lot of mortars. Use the barrage to separate infantry from tanks, then use infantry to approach and wait for an opportunity to blow up a lone tank with anti-tank**. Another way is to use infantry to lure enemy tanks into the trap of anti-tank **.
It's a pity that the British, having prepared so many means of dealing with tanks, did not come in handy at all. //www. They are waiting not for tanks, but for elite paratroopers who are equipped beyond the current era. The German paratroopers' battle squads were tactically flexible and practical, and they were haunted in the dark night. The British, who were already planning to fight desperately with the Germans, were in pain! Originally, the British army planned to use the battlefield death and horse leather shrouds to wash away the shame of their successive defeats. But on the battlefield, there was not even a shadow of the enemy, and his own side was already beaten everywhere. Such a war scene they had never encountered before, and they were in a state of confusion from the beginning. They found that in the face of the surprise attack of the German army, they did not know how to fight this battle!
The German assault groups were progressing well, and their night raid was a tactic that could be said to be defenseless for all countries in the world. The extremely accurate and long-range sniper rifle gives them the ability to strike with precision. Low-light night vision devices, thermal imaging, and infrared tele-imaging equipment give them eyes comparable to those of wild cats at night, and a series of heavy firepower configurations and protective measures are unimaginable equipment in this era. The paratroopers know how perfect and useful their equipment is, and they will fight with all their might for such weapons of war!
The entire city of Cairo is in dire straits! Small troopers fought on their own, wedged into the British line from all corners of the city, and bit by bit encroached on the last big city of the British on the continent! Far away on the banks of the Suez Canal, the fleeing Britons who are about to arrive here have encountered a frustrating dilemma! The road ahead has long been blocked by the German paratroopers unknowingly, and none of the dignitaries at all levels and the families of high-ranking military officials can escape! The Germans, with the cooperation of 100 bombers, came to a head-on attack on the British troops who dared to break through this temporary line of defense! The morale of the British army, which had long been a lost dog, suddenly plummeted!
At this moment, the military commander of an occupying force in the Middle East urgently led his troops westward to meet the British troops in Egypt. Avoid being dumpled by the Germans! The British Mediterranean Fleet, once the most powerful maritime power in the region, lost its largest home port, Alexandria. Their super-giant ships were powerless under the attack of small planes! The dense anti-aircraft guns on the battleship and the powerful maneuverability of the attack aircraft at a speed of 700 kilometers per hour did not have a good way to stop the enemy from dropping **!
As long as the German attack aircraft drops **, it means that the warship will suffer, and God knows why their ** is so accurate. More than 80 percent of the hits are simply more accurate than a sniper! How did the German aircraft achieve such high efficiency at an altitude of 5,000 meters? Almost all of the Royal Navy is amazed by this! They didn't know that German planes were equipped with laser-guided gliding**, which was the best way to attack slow, huge battleships! Most of the ** are more than 500 kilograms, as long as you are hit by one of these **, you will either die or be disabled! The RAF repeatedly fought with the German Second Air Force to seize air supremacy over the Mediterranean. But so far they have not come close to this goal for a day, and with Bai Qi's strong support, the African theater has received the best air force reinforcements. The German pilots, whose local air defense pressure had been reduced, reported that they would come to Africa to fight the British! They were defeated by the British Air Force over Britain during Project Sea Lion. For this reason, they are all holding their breath, and now there is a good opportunity, of course, which cannot be missed! Compared with the Soviet Air Force, which was called "training object" by German pilots on the Eastern Front, the combat effectiveness of the Royal Air Force was obviously higher! Every pilot in the British Air Force has been well trained, and many of them are better at flying than their German counterparts
It was only after the German army was replaced with new aircraft that the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse! When both sides of the war have similar technical and tactical levels, the side with good aircraft naturally takes advantage of it. When the German pilots were fighting against the British, they often used the performance advantage of the aircraft to eat each other, and used the powerful firepower of the aircraft and the precise fire control of the airborne gunnery radar to hit the British hard! Science and technology are combat effectiveness, and the Royal Air Force has exchanged countless sacrifices for such a truth. The fighter they planned to suppress the new German aircraft had long been under development, and the more powerful Spitfire had already made a prototype, but it could not be mass-produced for a while, let alone form combat effectiveness!
In order to seize air supremacy here, Britain and the United States have made a bloody investment! At once, 16 aircraft carriers were gathered, ready to drive German planes out of this sea area. In order to win the war, you must take control of the skies!
In Britain, the U.S. fleet that is preparing to rush here has a strong fighting force. They have a huge lineup, all the aircraft carriers are equipped with the most advanced carrier-based aircraft, and the moment of a decisive battle with the Germans is coming soon!
There are differences of opinion among the British and American leaders about the location of the landing in Africa. The decision of the US Top Leaders and the Joint Chiefs of Staff was to land in Casablanca, French Morocco, and Churchill of Britain apparently did not agree with this seemingly safe landing plan, but in fact there were endless consequences. Their plan was to land at the port of Bisseta in Tunisia, where only a direct attack could be formed against the army and a strategic flanking posture could be formed. And forced Rommel to divide his troops to defend Tunisia, so as not to be copied from the back road!
