When it comes to demolishing houses, the efficiency of the thermobaric bomb is definitely high enough, but at the same time, its cost is high enough, and the shell is definitely the most suitable choice to destroy a city at a low cost.

Like now.

Large-caliber naval guns are used for firing at each other, and if they are used to hit land, they are simply like killing chickens with knives.

"Boom!" The 305-mm high-explosive bomb accurately hit the city of Tubrug, and when it collided with the ground, a huge explosion sounded.

This sound will rupture people's eardrums, which is like death coming!

In the loud explosion, the flames, accompanied by shrapnel and shock waves, spread outward.

The ground trembled as if an earthquake had occurred, and in the air, flying shrapnel, and high-temperature and high-pressure air currents strangled everything nearby!

The first shell hit the open space in the city, everything around was trembling, and an area the size of a basketball court was affected!

With the explosion point as the center of the circle, within a radius of 500 meters, all the glass of the buildings was shattered!

"Boom!"

The second shell hit a three-story building, and when the explosion occurred, the three-story building collapsed and became a ruin!

A 305-mm shell is enough to tear through hundreds of millimeters of the opponent's armor and hit targets on the ground, absolutely no problem, even the strongest fortress will be shattered under its attack!

This is also the reason why Hitler in history was extremely obsessed with the Dora cannon.

Even the firing of even one battleship's guns can pose a huge threat to the city, and now, not one or two, but hundreds! There are dozens of large-caliber naval guns!

The entire sea surface was shrouded in the smoke of the naval guns, and a salvo of the naval guns made the hull of tens of thousands of tons retreat, and in the black smoke, the shells that kept flying out were like the roar of death.

Under the intensive bombardment of naval artillery, the whole of Tubrug was trembling and trembling!

"Boom!" A shell exploded almost more than ten meters away from the command headquarters, and when a huge roar sounded, everyone in the entire command headquarters couldn't help but squat down and protect their heads with their hands.

Somewhere did he find a helmet, and Wavell put it on his head, and even then, he knew that it was only used to protect himself from falling objects and hitting his head.

If large-caliber grenades fly to them, the entire building will be destroyed, and they will all be killed.

However, there is no other option, they have nowhere to go.

There are no particularly strong fortifications built here, after all, they have only recently arrived here, and those sandbag bunkers are useless.

Even a reinforced concrete underground fortification can't withstand the blow of this kind of naval artillery! The only way to fight back is to send planes and attack the outside fleet.

Unfortunately, this is already an impossible task for the current North African Corps, and if they do make a sortie, the German fleet will also pounce and destroy their living forces.

They can only be next to each other, and the whole city, no part of it is absolutely safe, and at this time, they can only pray for God to bless.

"Boom!" A cannonball exploded on a street fortification, and in an instant, the entire fortification was blown away, and dozens of soldiers were flying flesh and blood.

Getting up from the ground, Commander Kalsi regained his military cap and put it on his head: "3 Company, what about 3 Company?" Quick, rebuild your position! ”

He was not afraid, as Australian soldiers, they were born without fear! They only knew that the enemy's artillery attack could not be carried out all the time, and when the coverage was completed, the German army would still come up.

With Tubrug, the Germans were determined to win.

Then, street fighting will still happen! They have to be ready, the fortifications fly, then they will be repaired again, in short, they will not give up! The entire Australian 9th Infantry Division, the same idea!

Covered by artillery fire, it went on for a full half hour!

When quiet returned to everything, the whole of Tubrug seemed to be turned into a broken graveyard.

"Anyone? Is there anyone alive? Kalsi shouted loudly, and at this time, one of his legs was crushed in a pile of bricks, and his upper body was still intact.

The lower half of his body was already unconscious, and he did not have time to take care of himself, but just shouted loudly, calling his warrior.

"Whoa." In the middle of the rubble, a tall warrior emerged from it, bruises all over his body, his head still bleeding, but he still stood up.

"Company commander, 3 platoons and 2 shifts Timshi is back!"

"Corporal Bogut of the reconnaissance squad is back!"

"Heavy Mark is back!"

One by one, the voices made Carl full of relief. Just now, he thought that in this shelling, all his troops were killed!

"Immediately build fortifications and prepare for street fighting!" He shouted loudly.

Two soldiers came over and picked up the pieces on his body, only to see that his lower body was gone! Carl looked around, the tallest building, no more than a meter high, was full of ruins, and the entire city was almost razed.

"3 Company, ready for battle!" With the last of his strength, he shouted loudly: "As long as one soldier is still alive, we will not stop fighting!" ”

In the face of exterminating shelling, in the face of more than seventy percent casualties, as an Australian legion, they still did not collapse, and fighting until the last moment is their creed!

The indomitable spirit of the Australian soldiers is vividly reflected here, and their will to fight is hundreds of times more than that of the British soldiers, especially the British senior commanders!

Wavell was not injured, and just as the last shot exploded near him, his guard captain pounced on him and protected him with his body, countless shrapnel that beat his guard captain into a hedgehog, and the blood flowed slowly to Wavell's body.

"Ahem, ahem." Wavell coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood, Wavell suffered internal injuries, and when the shell exploded, the violent impact spread through the ground and slapped his chest.

Almost all the people around were there, only Klopp's head had a piece of shrapnel inserted, and the blood flowed, which was shocking to watch.

"The shelling stopped, the German offensive was about to begin." Klopp looked at the people present: "The casualties have not been counted yet, but I think we have little ability to stop the German attack." ”

Relying on the buildings in the city, using anti-tank weapons to destroy the opponent's tanks at close range, demoralize them, and when the Germans suffered too many casualties, they would retreat, which is the plan they made in the first place.

However, when the shells of those naval guns flew, this plan went bankrupt, the whole city was in ruins, and their plan of street fighting was no longer possible!

They are not afraid of death, however, they will not die without meaning!

Breakthrough? Don't even think about it! On the sea was the opposing fleet, and on the land was surrounded by German tank units, which broke through and died even worse.

So, is there only one last option left? 7410
