Therefore, in the real state, such a whimsical weapon will naturally not be applied to the battlefield. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guess at will, the members of the tank crew would probably rather swim on the beach with their rifles and fight with the infantry than sink into the sea more than ten meters deep with a 20-ton iron lump and then find a way to drive to the shore by themselves......

"If we drop tanks in this place, they are no different from coffins!" A sailor shouted to his companion.

And his companion also couldn't believe that this was the landing plan of the German Army: "Sir, we can go another 20 meters...... If necessary. ”

The ship was loaded with a full 10 tanks No. 3, as well as five No. 4 and five pursuers. These weapons were used to experiment with the effects of landing on the battlefield.

What's even more interesting is that these weapons have not yet come ashore and have encountered all sorts of troubles. First of all, there is the question of how they get ashore......

"The normal way is to hoist them into a small boat, at least to a depth of about 2 meters, and then throw them into the water......," one officer shouted to his men, pointing to the sand full of smoke and flares.

"Now for hoisting, is it too late? Sir! One soldier looked at the beach in the distance and shouted just as loudly.

At this time, a torpedo boat used as cover rushed past the transport ship, and the sailors on it laughed loudly and waved to the German armored men on the transport ship.

After all, this is a drill, and without the smell of blood tearing people's senses, it is impossible for everyone to tense their nerves. So the navies did not have many tasks, just cruising in the sea to show their presence.

"Don't they have a cover mission? What are you doing here? The officer of the Army Armored Corps frowned, looked at the torpedo boat in the distance at his feet, and asked dissatisfiedly.

His subordinates shrugged their shoulders and shook their heads and complained: "The navy has limited shells, and if it weren't for the exercise, they wouldn't even be able to ration all the fuel, so they just came out to shop." ”

Nine times out of ten, the world is unsatisfactory, and the armored forces are often plagued by a lack of fuel, and the armored troops don't know what it feels like to see the S-class torpedo boat in the distance.

"There's a call from the command to ask when our tanks will be able to come ashore." An officer hurried over and handed the message to his superiors, who were shaking with the deck.

"Let them wait, if we continue to toss like this, it is estimated that in two hours, our tanks will be able to go ashore." Answering in a helpless tone, the officer cast his gaze on the beach in the distance.

The soldiers who were on the beach, not judged dead, are not much better now. They struggled through the smoke, helpless in the face of enemy "attacks".

"You'd better count me killed! This kind of battle is too tricky. Sitting on the beach, a soldier shouted loudly to the officer next to him while pouring the sand from his boots.

They couldn't see what was going on around them, and the smoke was so thick that they couldn't see anything on the other side.

How many enemies, how many machine guns are firing, they don't know. Because they couldn't hear the gunshots, only some soldiers kept shouting.

Everyone has seen the real battlefield, and they all know that the real battlefield is not like this. But they really hadn't experienced a landing battle, and they didn't know what the real enemy they were facing was.

"Get up! Get up! Run forward! Find the rally point you want to attack and destroy the enemies there! Fast! An officer shouted on the beach in the distance, and at his feet, a large group of convicted soldiers sat down.

The scene looked awkward, and instead of the soldiers who had "died", he shouted farther away, a group of poor worms standing on the beach with nothing to do.

The battle reached its climax after a few minutes, and the Germans on the beach finally lost their smoke cover and had to cross barbed wire and minefields, and then attack pillboxes and machine-gun bunkers on high ground.

Of course, if there were no bullets coming at you, no shells whizzing by, no blood of comrades, no garbage on your back, no wet pants...... It's still relatively easy to attack.

The remaining soldiers rushed to the high ground, and when they finally occupied the blockhouses and trenches that were simulated in front of them, they found that the remaining comrades around them were no longer left.

There was not the slightest joy of victory, although they knew that the soldiers were just "killed" on the beach, sitting there and waiting, but everyone was still uncomfortable in their hearts, and just silently carried their weapons on their backs, and marched farther along the empty trenches.

Far away in the high command of the exercise in the interior of France, the generals were already arguing over the assessment of the damage.

Some officers felt that the exercise was judged too harshly and that the brave German soldiers could definitely keep the losses to a minimum.

Other generals believed that exercises were drills, and that they were used to reasonably assess the possibility of victory in battle, and that there was no room for sloppiness.

An officer pointed to the report to be submitted to the Führer, and angrily questioned the generals of the other side: "You will take such a report and give it to the Führer?" Tell him that the first wave of landings and that we're going to be killed more than 3,000 people on the beach? ”

"More than 3,000 people? If it weren't for your partiality, it would have been stipulated that we couldn't lay more mines, we couldn't put more defenders and machine guns, and you would have to leave at least 20,000 soldiers on the beach! Not to be outdone, the other general opened his mouth and shot back.

The Army's plan to land in the UK, the famous Sea Lion Plan, was not supported in the army.

Any general with brains feels that sending troops to the enemy's beachhead without absolute sea and air supremacy is a matter of seeking death.

There was another reason for them to worry - there were simply not enough ferries in Germany, and the losses of soldiers on the beach simply could not be replenished in time.

It is not difficult for 100,000 people to land on the British mainland at a time, but how to send another 100,000 or even 300,000 people to Britain is the crux of the problem.

If the British Navy still has shore defense artillery attacks, at least 30 percent of the landing ships will be damaged and will not be able to be used for the second landing.

This is definitely bad news, or at least a depressing one. Just now they have encountered another difficult problem, that is, the technical difficulty of how to get the tank troops ashore.

Germany does not have a special landing ship like the United States, and even if it could be designed, no madman would spend precious resources on building these landing ships in a short period of time.

However, during the actual landing exercise, the German armored troops were unable to go ashore for a long time, and most of them were sunk in waiting, which was definitely a serious problem.

It was still a little too early for Germany to play the tactic of moving from sea to land. In the course of the exercise, they discovered all kinds of problems of their own, so many that they gave various units a headache.

"The problem of weapons entering the water is serious, and after many soldiers go ashore, their guns are mixed with the sand, and the failure rate is serious." An officer looked at the notebook and said to Field Marshal Keitel, who had come to inspect on behalf of the Führer.

"Automatic weapons are especially serious...... Of course, this aspect of the problem is relatively easy to solve. Another general reluctantly followed: "Many soldiers fell into the sea, and if someone hadn't rescued them, they would have drowned there." ”

"Even so, we drowned one, and dozens of people drank the sea." The officer in charge of the security of the exercise was so depressed that he vomited blood, and the death of a soldier for no reason was definitely enough for him to work for several days.

"The smoke obscures the view of the infantry, preventing the speedboats and other ships supporting them from firing on their targets......" the officer who was the first to speak continued to speak of the difficulty, causing Keitel to frown.

The whole exercise seems to be more chaotic than the Führer's estimates. The soldiers were in disarray on the beachhead, not to mention the paratroopers who might join in the future, as well as the air force.

"How much will the loss be?" Keitel finally felt that he could no longer listen to the other party's complaints, which made him lose faith in the landing battle.

"All...... Most of the first 5,000 soldiers to go ashore will die there, and subsequent attacks may be canceled by the front-line commanders, and the rest will become prisoners. The general handed the report to Keitel and spoke his mind.

They are all army troops, landlubbers through and through - if they were to fight the Russians, they would at least be able to fight on the ground if they won or lost.

Let them face the enemy in the water, which makes them feel that there is no possibility of victory at all. Sitting on a boat for a couple of hours, and then immediately going into battle, for the infantry, is no different from suicide.

"The Führer's order is that we must be ready to carry out the Sea Lion plan as soon as possible, and we cannot wait for the Russians and Americans to come and take action." Keitel could only ask the other party.

After all, the Führer hoped that the German army would be ready to attack Britain as soon as possible, but God knows what these people under him were wasting time every day.

The German navy's counterattack obviously caught the enemy by surprise, but it also caught its own army by surprise -- they were far from being prepared, and they were not even ready for a real landing.

Seeing the other party's somewhat embarrassed expression, Keitel threw the information on the other party's chest: "I'll give you another month, if it's still like this, I'll send you the first batch to the British beach!" Do you understand? ”

"Yes! Sir! The other party swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and quickly replied with a salute.
