Chapter 670: Amphibious Landing Operations Begin

In the evening, the third round of German naval and air bombardment began again.

The German SB2C dive bomber group, the Boeing B-52 long-range bomber group, and the Scud missiles constantly roared into the sky full of artillery fire, and the entire English Channel coastline was bombarded indiscriminately, regardless of the east, west, north and south coastlines.

As a result, these coastlines have become uninhabited land, or even a dead silence like an uninhabited island.

And everywhere is full of fear of the British troops stationed here who have not yet been killed, which makes people panic.

Even the artillery positions, set up more than four miles from the coastline and deep into the interior of the islands, were bombed.

An artillery regiment had less than a third of its strength and 9 artillery pieces left.

But the remaining artillery units were still ordered to hold their positions and prepare to shell German units that were likely to carry out amphibious landing operations.

"Damn! These German air raids are coming again, especially their explosive and powerful missile attacks! It's going to beat us all to death! ”

Watching the German naval and air attacks in full swing again, Richard, a British artillery captain, was in a terrible mood and cursed.

"Are we going to die here? I'm scared! Captain Richard! ”

But the artillery gondola beside him stared in fear at the German planes bombing everywhere in the sky, and said worriedly.

"Maybe!"

"So we must find a way to kill a few more Germans and drag them to hell together for our burial!"

British artillery captain Richard looked at the terrified artillery gondola and replied with a big grin.

"But we haven't seen any German troops carry out amphibious landing operations so far!"

"Will these Germans really carry out amphibious landing operations? Could we be miscalculated? ”

But the artillery gondola was still worried.

"I guess so! I don't think our commander could be wrong!

"If those damn Germans hadn't done an amphibious landing, we'd have been hiding in these safe air defense positions, and we'll be safe when their air strikes are over!"

In this regard, Captain Richard, an artillery officer, was also full of expectations.

"If that's the case, I still have my wife and family waiting for me to go back and see them!"

"I wish we could end this damn war sooner rather than later, and then we could go back to living in peace! My son is only two years old now! ”

After listening, the artillery gondola was also full of hope.

But at this moment, five Scud missiles were very accurately shot down in the area of the bomb shelter where Luo and the two of them were.

"Boom ......"

In an instant, the sound of explosions that shook the mountains drowned out everything, and exploded a cloud of smoke and dust in the sky, and flying sand and rocks, the scene was terrifying.

Captain Richard and Gondola were killed, and they didn't even let out a howl before they died; He lost his breath and died in the bombed air defense position.

At this time, a wave of airborne troops was also dispatched when the third air raid operation gradually stopped.

More than 200 helicopters, protected by more than 80 Sabre fighters, flew towards the place where they were going to be airborne. At the same time, the amphibious landing force, which had already been ready to go, immediately received Rommel's order to attack, and immediately ascended and sat on ships and headed for the English Channel.

The tank landing craft and the convoy followed behind them, and the scene was simply majestic.

If the most thrilling and dangerous thing about the amphibious landing operation is that it will be bombed and attacked by the shore artillery, fire and running groups of the enemy's garrison troops, and the air force, and will suffer heavy casualties.

However, the current German army has seized sea power and air supremacy, and most of the military facilities and artillery positions of the British troops stationed in the English Channel have been bombed, and almost all of them have been destroyed.

In particular, the airfield set up by the British army in the Strait has also been bombed into a sea of fire and completely scrapped.

As for the British planes there, they were all blown up, and there was not a single intact plane.

Therefore, the amphibious landing operation that is about to be carried out now is relatively safe for these menacing German troops.
