193 Gambling that does not take into account the consequences at all
readx;?“ General, no, I can't shoot! ”
"Why not, tell me why!"
"We now have a full sixty chains from the shore, and at this distance the secondary artillery is not accurate, and the main artillery is even more inaccurate! The troops are all under the cliff, and once the 380-mm main guns on our ship are fired, the consequences will be unimaginable! Not to mention that the debris will injure or even kill the soldiers below, in case one of them falls in the crowd, the consequences are unimaginable, I can't give the order to open fire! ”
"Then drive forward, and let the large number of warships in front of you fight, and the firepower will hit me on the cliff!"
Here, Li Ling was still pressuring about firing artillery at the cliff, and the soldiers and tanks that had landed on the beachhead were already panicking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It turned out that the falling rubble was not caused by any shock, but completely because the cliff had been hollowed out, and countless tunnels were hidden inside, and the British soldiers were hiding in it at this time, and they pushed away the cover at the mouth of the tunnel, and immediately launched an attack on the German soldiers below.
All kinds of grenades fell from the sky, and although Li Ling had discovered the problem in time and quickly asked the troops to retreat away from the cliff, everything was still so late.
The crowded beachhead simply did not provide space for a quick evacuation, a large number of tanks and infantry were crowded there, and there were even landing craft rushing in that direction, ready to send people to land again.
"All move to the right flank, away from that cliff, hurry, it's an order from the command, all move quickly, avoid that cliff! The infantry pays attention to safety, and the tanks consciously form bunkers to provide cover for the infantry. ”
Kirsch climbed out of the command vehicle and shouted loudly, hoping to stop the panic, however, countless grenades and various ** bags fell from the sky, and the area below the beachhead cliff had completely turned into a human purgatory.
Due to the elevation angle of the turret, and the proximity to the cliff, almost all tanks were unable to strike at the pits that appeared in the cliff, and some rifles in the hands of the infantrymen themselves on the right side of the beach became the only weapons capable of suppressing the British.
But the problem is that the British just hide inside and throw grenades and the like, and they don't have to show their heads at all, so the fire suppression of these soldiers does not play any substantial role at all.
Finally, just when everyone panicked to the extreme, and even many infantry jumped back into the sea to get away from the area, the scene lost complete control. Some of the tanks retreated into the sea in a panic, and two tanks drove forward for unknown reasons, and they ran over mines at once. Fortunately, the crushed mines were only anti-infantry fragmentation mines, not anti-tank mines, so there were no casualties.
And at this time, the destroyer cruisers in the entire fleet, which were close to this beach, drove over and were rapidly approaching the shore, and even the battleship Bismarck had already arrived!
Neither von Bock nor Li Ling had any other choice, they had to make the decision to shell the cliff quickly!
Although it is very likely that this will cause the entire cliff to collapse, or even bury the soldiers below the cliff, they have no choice!
The pattern of the landing operation dictates that the troops sent to the beachhead have only two options, either charge or die, and they have little chance of withdrawing from the beachhead, and today is no exception.
"Chief of Staff, the division commander wants to talk to you."
A soldier stopped Kirsch, who was commanding the staff, who was almost hoarse.
"Division commander, division commander, you should think of a way, if you go on like this, there will be big trouble, now the entire beachhead is in chaos, completely chaotic, our division is a little better, the 71st Infantry Division has suffered heavy casualties, and it doesn't listen to the command at all, if it goes on like this, there will be a big mess!"
Kirsch's voice was hoarse with extreme anxiety, he really had no other way, the threat of death made people instinctively ignore everything around them, and the only thought in his mind was to escape.
Li Ling listened to the screams on the radio, his heart was like a knife, and he was also very confused!
That's right! Forward!
Li Ling's mind suddenly thought of the best solution, and that was to let the troops move forward!
As long as the troops can move forward, then the panic will be naturally resolved, as long as the troops can move forward, the crowding can also be solved, as long as the troops can move forward, the fire attack on the cliff can be launched immediately.
However, the only area leaving this beachhead is already covered with mines, which is definitely not a good way forward, and if there is no quick way to get rid of these mines, then the road out of the beachhead landing site will be a dead end, without any hope of survival!
Landmines, mines, why are mines again!
Li Ling doesn't remember how many times he has competed with landmines, but because he has never suffered any big losses on mines, he has never paid much attention to it, and now that he thinks about it, he really ignored a big problem!
Demining, but how can it be done quickly?
That's right, blast!
"Kirsch, you go to the people of the 71st Infantry Division and ask them if they have blasting canisters and blow up a road with them! Then quickly leave from the beachhead! ”
"Division commander, I asked, they don't have blasters, only some **."
"**, only**?"
"Yes, only **!"
"You see if there is any equipment on the shore of the rocket artillery battalion, you connect the ** in series, and then use the rocket artillery to remove the warhead charge and then drag the ** out and launch it, spread it into a blasting belt, and then detonate it!"
There is no blasting canister, but fortunately, there is no endless road, Li Ling suddenly remembered that he is now a unit with rocket artillery, and the set of rocket demining has been quite mature in later generations, but I don't know how he thought about using it this time.
But it's better to have a way than not to have a way, and it's much better to try your luck than to keep waiting for someone to die.
"Yes, yes, there are three rocket launchers coming up from the rocket artillery battalion, so I'll arrange someone to do it!"
"Marshal, did you order the fleet to open fire?"
"Li, what should I do, will your method work?"
Von Bock did not immediately give the order to open fire, but instead questioned Li Ling.
Now firing and bombarding the cliff will cause casualties, and there will be casualties when waiting for demining, at this time, even von Bock, as the commander-in-chief, needs someone who can provide him with reference advice, and the provider of this advice is obviously his chief of staff - Li Ling.
"Small-caliber naval guns accurately hit those exposed holes, large-caliber naval guns don't move first, give my people some time, I believe they have a way!"
Li Ling knew that he was not given any chance to make mistakes on the battlefield, and every second of his delay would result in several lives being taken away.
Whether or not my own method of using rockets to clear mines will work is really a gamble, a gamble that cannot be considered at all! (To be continued.) )
