Chapter 923: Attack
In the book review area, I saw someone say that this book is comparable to an anti-Japanese drama, and I feel a little strange, most of the battles in this book are written according to real battles, with only minor changes, so if it can become an anti-Japanese drama or take it for granted...... Hehe......
**************
"Little Young" gritted his teeth and was about to pull the trigger, but was stopped by horsepower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Wait!" Horsepower said.
"Little Young" couldn't help but wonder for a while, even if the hit rate is low, then you have to try your luck, right? There is no turning back.
On top of that, enemy bullets and shells are "whizzing" by, and any hesitation risks losing this last chance.
But "Little Young" quickly understood what Horsepower was going to do.
I saw that Ma Li took a rocket from the loader and stuffed it into his satchel as fast as he could, then took a deep breath and let go, and sank to the bottom.
After a while, the "little young" felt that he was "on the ground...... The water is not deep near the shore here, and the horsepower easily sinks to the bottom, and the "little young" stands on the shoulders of the horsepower.
This put the "little young" bazooka in a relatively stable state, and the "little young" did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly held his breath and raised the bazooka to aim at the enemy tank in the smoke...... At this time, the "Tiger Pose" has sensed the danger from the side and is adjusting its posture to deal with this danger.
But fortunately, its movements are not very crisp, otherwise, it would have been facing the "little young" at this time, so that they would not have any chance.
The reason why it is not straightforward is that the other side of the "Tiger Pose" is also dangerous, so the "Tiger Pose" does not know which side to face.
After a moment of hesitation, the Germans finally decided to let the "Tiger" transfer positions first...... This is indeed the best option, which can temporarily save the "Tiger" from being attacked by the enemy from both sides.
But just as it was about to withdraw, the "little young" pulled the trigger, and the rocket made a "chirp" and went straight to the "tiger", and then exploded with a "boom".
At this time, the "little young" couldn't help but sink in his heart, because he found that the "Tiger" was still driving, which seemed to mean that the rocket did not work.
The horsepower that came out of the water saw this scene, and his face turned pale for a moment.
But at this time, the "Tiger Type" suddenly burst into flames, and then burned bigger and bigger, and the screams of the German soldiers were heard in it.
"Hit!" Ma Li couldn't help but scream excitedly.
It was indeed hit, and it also ignited the engine of the "Tiger", ...... "Tiger" used a gasoline engine, which was determined by the lack of rare metals in Germany to produce diesel, which made the "Tiger" engine or fuel tank easier to hit, just like the "Sherman" who also used a gasoline engine was called the "Ronson lighter".
It didn't take long for the "Tiger" to end its mission with a loud "boom".
When the soldiers of the expeditionary force, who had been lurking in the front for a long time, saw this scene, they shouted "kill" and rushed towards the German defense line like a tide.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he knew that the German army after this hurdle was basically not worried...... Even if the Germans were veterans who had been withdrawn from the Soviet battlefield, even if they were well equipped, there was still a certain gap between them and the expeditionary forces, especially the expeditionary forces were very good at fighting in poor visibility conditions.
Suddenly remembering the agreement with Eisenhower, Zhang Chi hurriedly asked the correspondent to connect to the headquarters.
"How? Major general? Eisenhower said, "I can give you a few minutes to retreat, and I will let the artillerymen ...... as many shells as possible."
"General!" Zhang Chi interrupted Eisenhower's words and said: "We broke through the German defenses!" ”
"What?" Eisenhower couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes, we did!" Zhang Chi said.
"Are you sure?" Eisenhower still couldn't believe it.
"I'm sure!" Zhang Chi replied: "Although they haven't taken 'Omaha' beach yet, they ......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Chi raised the microphone high, and on the other side was the expeditionary force shouting loudly.
After a moment of silence, Eisenhower nodded and said, "Congratulations, Major General, you have once again performed a miracle!" ”
"Send the troops!" Zhang Chi said: "Now is the time to launch a general offensive!" ”
As a result, several flares quickly rose into the air, and the Allied landing force, which had already been prepared, launched an attack on the beaches of Normandy as planned under the cover of warships.
It's just that most of these warships didn't play a role, because they no longer needed to bomb the Germans on the shore.
If anything, they played a role, it was to ensure the safety of the landing force on the sea.
Because the Zoaf Corps had successfully infiltrated and attacked the German defensive lines on the beachheads, and even some of the German defensive lines had been taken by the Zoaf Corps, the Allied landing force was able to land in an orderly manner...... Tanks descended from the tank landing ships, and minesweepers and paving tanks walked ahead, paving the road while clearing mines.
The "paving tank" mentioned here is a new gadget developed by the Yankees specifically for the Normandy landing, which is mainly aimed at the fact that there are many beaches in Normandy that are not suitable for tank maneuvering, and the Yankees are attacking...... It is almost impossible without tanks.
So the Yankees came up with a way to use the chassis of the "Sherman" tank to modify it into a special tank, which had no artillery and no shells, and there was a roller in front of it, and the rollers of the tank also rolled as they advanced, laying pieces of steel plates connected by steel ropes on the ground.
It is conceivable that in this way it will soon be possible to lay dozens of "roads" on the beach suitable for tank propulsion.
"Omaha" beach was not hit until this time......
The Germans' defensive line was mainly aimed at the sea, and the Chinese army was completely overwhelmed by the charge from behind, so a single charge broke through their defenses.
If there was any difficulty in this, it was when attacking the cliffs on both wings.
The reason was that the passage of the two flanks was very narrow, and it was also difficult for the Germans to block the passage with fire.
But the problem is that most of these garrisons on the cliffs are artillerymen and have little experience in land warfare.
The other is that after the expeditionary force captured the German defense line, it captured many large-caliber shore defense guns, and even a few strong reinforced concrete pillbox fortifications...... The soldiers of the expeditionary force only had to turn the muzzle of the guns, or set up a few machine guns in the pillbox fortifications, and it did not take much effort to suppress the German firepower.
Needless to say, the problem of the cliff was quickly solved.
"General!" Cook finally found Zhang Chi in the crowd.
Zhang Chi, who was looking at the map, looked up and saw that Cook was actually bandaged on his head, and he was covered in blood, which seemed to have gone through a bloody battle.
