Chapter 576: Those who want to live are dead, and those who want to die are still alive
At this time, on the beach, there was also the presence of a large number of British soldiers.
They all knew that once they got into the water, it would be a severe test, either drown or be rescued, so they didn't dare to go into the water immediately, but were doing all kinds of preparatory actions.
Those who still carry food, eat the canned food with high calories they carry, eat it in their mouths, and swim in the sea, while replenishing food, it is impossible, and some people are also doing preparatory activities, the sea water is very cold, in case of cramps, it will definitely be fatal.
At the same time, there are people running towards the beach, and they are gathering on the beach, waiting to enter the water.
Sensing the danger, Montgomery ordered his troops to go into the water immediately, but it was too late.
Less than 1 in 10 can get into the water.
Most of the people were still crowded on the beach, and they were terrified when the rockets that flew like a rain of arrows landed.
"Oh God, no!" A soldier exclaimed, at this time, he didn't care about anything, and hurriedly ran towards the sea, but unfortunately, he was still dozens of meters away from the sea.
"Boom!" The 122-millimeter rocket, which had already traversed a graceful trajectory, landed, and the rocket, almost behind him, pierced into the sand, and then exploded violently.
The warhead of this rocket weighed 18.4 kilograms, of which 6.4 kilograms were charged, and now, the explosives inside exploded, blowing up the shells on the outside, and a fragment flew into his back.
The huge wave of qi knocked him to the ground, and his back was instantly stained red with blood, and he opened his eyes and looked at the hellish scene around him.
On the beach without any cover, these flying rockets densely cover the entire area, and there will be no survivors!
Twenty-four launchers, each with 40 tubes, covered the beach several kilometers wide with 960 rockets in one covering shot.
Everywhere you go, there is death and blood!
The soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division screamed miserably, and each rocket that came down would take several lives, and at this time, lives were easily harvested by harvesters like weeds.
They looked desperately at the sky, where there was a constant stream of rockets, and on the beach, there was no place to be safe.
There were even some rockets that flew into the seawater, and with the explosion, the sea water surged, and the white fish were blown up and rolled up.
Soon, the whole sand, golden sand, turned a blood-red color.
The soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division fell on the beach, the sea was washing, and it was the high tide at this time, and soon, the nearby sea water also turned blood red.
Montgomery in the sea, his eyes turned red, he tried to suppress his anger while swimming, all this today, another day, must be reported back a hundred times!
Germans, this feud, write it down for the time being!
"Well, this time it was a good job." Sitting on his tank, Dietrich held the telescope and looked at the scene on the beach in the distance, which was simply a covering blow, and he had planned to make up another round if necessary, but now, only this first round of shooting, has already achieved the effect.
On the beach, there are almost no living British soldiers, and as for these corpses, they don't have to be cleaned up themselves, soon, the sea will take them away, and the beach will be clean again.
As for those who have already jumped into the sea and swam away, don't worry too much, the smell of blood on the beach will soon attract sharks, and most of those who swim in the sea will enter the shark's mouth.
Speaking of which, British soldiers, it is really unlucky, may your God, bless you, all of you will die in the sea.
"Order, all tanks, move forward at once!" Dietrich picked up the microphone and continued to give orders.
Just now, he ordered to stop the pursuit, in order to prevent accidental hits, although drilled in the tank, there is no need to worry about the blow of rocket artillery, but some equipment outside the tank, such as infrared headlights or something, cannot be saved.
With this kind of rocket artillery, there is no need to call for air support in the future, and your ground troops will be able to eliminate the threat in front of you!
Dietrich was satisfied, and now, his troops, are going to move on!
After all, not all British soldiers were going to swim back to England, and some who didn't know how to swim stayed on the beach.
They hurriedly set up positions, some using cars as cover and machine guns, while others quickly dug a pit and lay down in it, intending to destroy each other with bundles of grenades when German tanks came.
However, their resistance is purposeful.
They are buying time.
Here, they used their own flesh and blood and lives to buy time for the troops who jumped into the sea, the farther away they were from the shore, the safer they were, after all, the German tanks were capable of firing grenades, as well as machine guns, if the Germans quickly rushed to the shore and fired at the sea, machine guns, it would still make the people in the sea dangerous.
After all, swimming in the sea is very slow, and they can't swim far in a short time.
Those who remained had already made up their minds to die.
However, the facts played a joke on them, those who wanted to live, died, and those who wanted to die, were still alive.
In fact, many times, it is like this, on the battlefield, the trumpet of the charge is blown, and all the people need to rush forward.
Those who rush to the front are not afraid of death, and those who rush to the back are old fritters, but sometimes, the front ones do not die, but the back ones die.
They were still alive for the time being, and behind, on a large stretch of beach, the sea breeze blew the smell of blood, and the comrades-in-arms they had planned to cover were blown to pieces.
"Buzz, buzz." One after another, the Panther 3 tanks, with their barrels held high, rumbled up from in front of them!
In everyone's heart, they are thinking about a question quickly, are they still fighting?
To fight, it is to fight the dignity of Great Britain, as the former empire on which the sun never sets, every soldier carries a halo of glory, and what are the Germans? The defeated countries of World War I, at the worst time, they could only have 100,000 troops, and now, they were actually defeated by the defeated countries, how could they be willing?
They were going to fight with dignity to show the Germans that England could be defeated, but it would never be conquered!
However, their battle was meaningless.
