Chapter 703: The Soldier Who Fell Overboard

When the amphibious tank enters the seawater, you can see that the hull only surfaces a dozen centimeters, if you go to the sea, such a voyage is quite dangerous, but now, it is just a crossing of the strait!

Even with a speed of only five kilometers on the water, it only takes four hours to get from here to the other side of the strait! And once the tank lands, it will definitely be a great deterrent!

Carrying the rubber boat, after arriving at the shore, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army also jumped up together, and several people rowed their oars, followed behind, and slowly rowed.

One after another, led by amphibious tanks, and the rubber boat units behind are advancing, advancing!

This formation will be the attack formation in the future, and the German troops will not even need landing ships, and they will be able to land on the beach directly in this way.

Joseph sat on his rubber boat, paddling, while observing the situation nearby, in addition to their team, there are other teams on the sea, it seems that a large number of amphibious tanks have gathered here!

The sun was gradually sliding towards the west, and they were already several kilometers away from the shore.

"Stroke back, training is over!" The German instructor shouted loudly.

Stroke back!

Joseph took the oars and paddled in the water, and suddenly, the rubber boat shook, and his body fell into the water!

"Oh, damn it, quick, get Joseph up!" The squad leader at the front of the dinghy shouted.

Someone overboard!

At this time, they suddenly realized that they had made a mistake, they were not wearing life jackets!

The formation of the volunteer army was too fast, which made it impossible to provide a lot of equipment quickly and effectively, for example, although they were going to land across the sea, they only found enough rubber boats, but not enough life jackets!

They could only watch Joseph in the sea, shake twice, and then be submerged in the sea.

None of them could swim in this rubber boat!

At this time, it was a German soldier on the amphibious tank in front of him, who jumped down, but he stabbed a few fierce men in the water and did not find Joseph.

In this training, the inexplicable loss of a soldier made the morale of the French volunteers suddenly low, rowed back to the shore, and many people fell asleep after washing.

When night fell, there was silence all around, and in the darkness, no one noticed that a person was still swimming hard.

It was not easy to swim across the English Channel, and in the beginning, some French people succeeded, because there were ships on the way, and later on, the chances became smaller and smaller, and few of them succeeded, and most of them drowned in the channel.

And now, there is a man who is swimming hard, and he is Joseph, who fell into the water before evening!

Joseph, of course, didn't accidentally fall into the water, he did it completely on purpose! From the time he signed up for the French Volunteer Army, they had other purposes!

He had been an MI5 agent for a long time, he still believed in the British, he was still very tired of Germany, and now he had such important information that he had to report it to the British quickly!

In Calais, where martial law was everywhere, he did not have the confidence to pass on the information, so he had no choice but to take the risk and pass it on to the British by this most difficult way.

Swim over!

Most of his physical strength has been consumed, but Joseph is still holding on, at this time, his head is full of stars, with the help of constellations, he determines his direction and continues to swim towards the opposite shore!

A firm belief sustained him that he had to make it to England alive to pass the news on!

By the time he climbed to the coast of England exhausted, it was already early in the morning, and he was shivering and had been soaking in the sea for nearly ten hours, and he was almost dying.

Thankfully, he's finally arrived!

Finding the defenders on the shore, he immediately asked to be taken to the nearest intelligence station.

At this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Churchill was woken up from his sleep, and in the past few days, one bad news after another has made Churchill feel tired, and this night, he slept very unsteadily, and at the same time, he slept in his own clothes.

The next air raid of the Germans will come at any time, and they must not take it lightly!

So, when the adjutant woke Churchill up, Churchill simply washed his face and immediately walked into the conference room next to him.

"One of our intelligence officers, risking his life, sent us important information." "Now we can be sure that the intended landing place of the Germans is opposite Dover, Calais!" said the brigade commander Harque! ”

"Halke, how do you know for sure?" Archibald said.

In fact, everyone deduced that the Germans might land in Dover, but the confirmation of this information must also be carefully considered! Is it really there?

The strait there was too narrow, and if the Germans wanted to land there, it would be good news for their own side, because their own firepower could also be delivered to the coast of Calais!

"The Germans, on the coast of Calais, concentrated thousands of amphibious tanks." Brigade Commander Hark said: "So, our previous plan is nullified, the Germans did not cross the strait by boats and land across the sea, the Germans directly drove tanks over. ”

Amphibious tank, this is the key to Halk's final confirmation, this kind of tank, can sail directly in the sea, and at the same time, has the same firepower as other tanks.

Think about it, thousands of tanks, from the other side of the strait, like dumplings, rushing in the groundwater, this sea of tanks is enough to bulldoze the entire coast of Dover!

Many of the shore defense guns they prepared on the shore were not used, because the artillery was designed to hit large targets, and the targets of tanks were too small! Machine guns against small targets, but they can't do anything with tanks.

The Germans, sure enough, used this tactic against the sky!

Fortunately, they arranged agents in advance, Calais is under military martial law, ordinary agents can't get in at all, and they don't know that the Germans' tanks can still be launched!

After listening to the narration of the Harker brigade commander, Churchill frowned, and sure enough, bad news, one after another!

If it is a large number of amphibious tanks of the other side that directly cross the strait, how should the other side respond? Especially, looking at this stance, they may come in the middle of the night, when their own defense is at their lowest!

So, what to do?
