Chapter 556: The Germans Are Coming (Gal. 19)

Eight tank landing ships all rushed to the beach, and on each landing ship, twenty tanks and hundreds of fighters came down, and they gathered together on the beach to form a torrent and rush towards the shore.

Landing on the beach was supposed to be one of the most threatening tasks, and on the beach, at the most dangerous time, even everyone only had a few seconds to live.

But now, they're relaxed.

Because there was no resistance on the beach at all, no army came out.

This day's bombing has washed all kinds of coastal defenses and troops at all levels in Brest, bombers in the sky, and shells from naval guns, turning any fortification here into a hellish scene.

Moreover, the most important thing is that a day ago, there was still no guard here, and many soldiers in the barracks were still lazily basking in the sun and discussing the battle situation, they did not expect that the war would suddenly come like this.

Another reason is that Darlan took away all the elites here, and the most combat-effective troops were transferred to besiege the manor, and as a result, the place was empty, so empty that it was unable to resist the German cross-sea landing.

At the same time that the landing ships rushed to the beach, those merchant ships, under the cover of the fire of their own battleships, slowly docked, and the merchant ships moved very slowly, and it took more than ten minutes to stop the ships, and the troops on them rushed out.

At the same time that the merchant ships docked to unload equipment and personnel, the 1st Marine Division was already in action, with the tank troops as the lead and the infantry following, and their target was not Brest, but the outskirts of Brest, and they wanted to rush there to reinforce their own vanguard!

The whole of Brest was in a panic, so much so that the news reached the manor after ten minutes.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.

"After it's all dark, we'll attack again." Division Commander Bailey said unconvinced that in the afternoon, his troops launched several attacks, but each time they were repulsed, and almost all the tanks in his troops remained in the attacking positions at this time, and some were still smoking.

His troops suffered heavy losses, but he would never stop there, and at this time, reinforcements from another infantry division had also arrived, and now, it was just right that they could attack together!

Night is a good time for the attackers and a nightmare for the defenders, unless the Germans use their bullets to strafe intensively and consume a lot of their ammunition at any cost, otherwise, their own attack will definitely succeed!

Darlan was very satisfied with Pele's statement.

"Yes, we are going to attack overnight, the Paris side has already sent many telegrams asking about our progress, and it will be detrimental to us to delay it, and now, the German tank army in the north is advancing along the coastline, towards this side, and there is not much time left for us." "Right now, we have a lot of losses, but I believe that the Germans are not having a good time either, and whoever can hold out until the end will win," Darlan said. ”

Darlan is very anxious, this day, he has found the opposite German, there are countless hole cards in his hand, every time his side attacks, will be beaten back, now, although he said very good, but in fact, his heart is also restless, maybe, the Germans have new hole cards.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the hurried footsteps of his adjutant, who strode in and said to him breathlessly, "General, it's not good. ”

Dar Lang frowned when he said this, as a soldier, even if the sky falls, he can't be afraid, what is there to make a fuss about now, could it be that the reinforcements of the Germans have arrived?

Then, the adjutant's words confirmed his conjecture completely correct: "The Germans, who have landed from Brest, have at least several divisions of troops, and now, the whole city, is under the control of the Germans, and their forward, probably a full panzer division, is coming to us." ”

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

A fully armored division!

Now, as the battles progressed, the assessment of Germany's combat effectiveness began long ago.

The bloody battles are written about the glory of Germany, and the combat effectiveness of the German army is quite against the sky.

Now, the most optimistic estimates suggest that a Panzer Division against the Germans would need at least five times the size of the German French or British Panzer Division to have any hope of victory.

And the pessimistic estimate is that how much is not enough, because the tanks, firepower, mobility, and protection of the Germans are beyond the entire era, and when Britain and France did not develop new tanks comparable to the Germans, how many armored divisions were not enough.

Quality is not enough quantity, this is already a false proposition, can you imagine, the light tanks of Britain and France, the Panther tanks besieging Germany? No matter how many there are, they will be destroyed by the Panther tank, and your own tank, even at zero distance, will not be able to destroy the opponent's Panther tank!

The only way to do this is to think of all kinds of tricks, blow up the tracks, throw Molotov cocktails, which requires great courage and sacrifice on the part of the soldiers.

At least, a few infantry divisions on the scene were not enough to stuff the Germans' armored divisions, this was already their consensus.

Can't beat it!

"Click!" At this moment, the dark sky suddenly shone brightly, followed by the sound of thunder.

A heavy rain, in fact, came all over the world.

The headquarters was built under a grapevine, and now, when it rained heavily, all the people were drenched in an instant.

Damn, is it the death of France?

No, this heavy rain is the last chance for yourself!

"Order, all armies, attack together!" Ignoring the rain on his face, and refusing the umbrella that the adjutant next to him hurriedly gave him, Darlan said: "Heavy rain will delay the action of the German armored forces, and we, before the arrival of the German armored forces, complete our mission, this battle is related to the fate of France!" ”

The raindrops the size of beans hit the soles of his feet, splashing a splash, and Darlang picked up a MAS-38 submachine gun from the table next to him, and said to the people present: "Go back to your respective troops and charge with your own troops!" This heavy rain is our only chance, France, will remember us, history, will remember us, just tonight, we saved France with the most resolute action! ”

After thinking about it, he continued: "As long as we can keep this batch of gold safe, I will apply for one percent of this batch of gold to be distributed to our warriors as a reward. ”

Darlang, it's going to fight to the death!
